Abstract

The bridge has a frame (4) designed to be fixed on a structure (10) and rotating along a vertical axis, where the structure separates two water bodies. A set of arms connects the frame to a cradle (2) and maintains the cradle in horizontal position without depending on cradle`s rotation position around the frame and height, along outline of a track that carries the cradle from one water body to another water body.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un transbordeur à sec d'embarcations depuis au moins un plan d'eau mais, destiné plus particulièrement à transférer celles-ci entre deux plans d'eau de niveaux différents et éventuellement variables, séparés par un ouvrage.The present invention relates to a transloader dry boats from at least one body of water but, intended more particularly to transfer these between two bodies of water of different levels and possibly variable, separated by a work.

Le secteur technique de l'invention est le domaine des appareils ou mécanismes élévatoires pour bateaux dont il existe de nombreuses réalisations ayant pu faire l'objet dans certains cas de demandes de brevet telles que celle FR 2 057 321 publiée le 21 mai 1971 décrivant un dispositif de transbordement et notamment d'éclusage pour le passage d'un bateau d'un premier niveau à un niveau différent grâce à une goulotte articulée au-dessus du niveau inférieur et autour d'un axe transversal horizontal, ladite goulotte ayant une extrémité ouverte et l'autre extrémité relevée.The technical field of the invention is the field lifting devices or mechanisms for boats of which there are many achievements that have made the subject in some cases of such patent applications that FR 2 057 321 published on May 21, 1971 describing a transhipment device including lock for the passage of a boat from a first level to a different level thanks to a hinged chute above from the lower level and around a transverse axis horizontal, said chute having an open end and the other end raised.

On peut citer également la demande de brevet FR 2 041 848 publiée le 5 février 1971 et décrivant un transbordeur à sec pour péniches et autres embarcations permettant de passer d'une voie navigable à l'autre non reliée, grâce à un véhicule capable de recevoir l'embarcation et qui pénètre dans l'un ou l'autre sas d'écluses prévus dans les voies d'eau à relier.We can also mention the patent application FR 2 041 848 published on February 5, 1971 and describing a dry transloader for barges and other vessels to move from one waterway to another not connected, thanks to a vehicle capable of receiving the boat and which enters one or the other airlock locks provided in the waterways to be connected.

Il existe également des systèmes d'élévation ou de relevage par portique qui se déplace au-dessus des embarcations pour pouvoir les sortir de l'eau et les déplacer ensuite à sec jusqu'à un autre lieu de stockage ou à un autre point de mise à l'eau, mais de tels dispositifs nécessitent d'une part des aménagements particuliers pour permettre leur mobilité, comme du reste pour les autres transbordeurs du type de ceux décrits ci-dessus, et d'autre part un "pilote" technicien compétent; de plus ils sont très hauts et peu esthétiques.There are also systems of elevation or gantry lift that moves over boats to get them out of the water and then move dry to another storage location or at another launching point, but such devices require on the one hand particular to allow their mobility, like the rest for other ferries of the type described above, and on the other hand a "pilot" competent technician; moreover, they are very tall and unsightly.

Aucun système, à la connaissance de l'inventeur, ne répond ainsi au problème du transbordement pour d'une part s'adapter sur un ouvrage pré-existant bordant un plan d'eau et sans travaux important d'aménagement modifiant cet ouvrage, lorsque chaque côté du profil émergé de celui-ci est linéairement continu et incliné (c'est-à-dire n'ayant aucune partie verticale, chaque tangente en tout point de la courbe représentant une coupe de ce profil formant un angle de préférence compris entre 0 et 60°, et la pente moyenne globale de l'ouvrage étant de l'ordre de 25 à 40°, et même de 27 à 30°, comme la plupart des ouvrages connus de génie civil) et d'autre part répondre au cas spécifique des "port-garages" d'embarcations le long du littoral.No system, to the knowledge of the inventor, responds to the problem of transhipment for a part fit on a pre-existing structure bordering a body of water and without major development work modifying this book, when each side of the profile emerged from it is linearly continuous and inclined (ie having no vertical part, each tangent at any point of the curve representing a cutting of this profile forming an angle of preferably included between 0 and 60 °, and the overall average slope of the structure being of the order of 25 to 40 °, and even of 27 to 30 °, as most known civil engineering works) and other share answer to the specific case of "port-garages" boats along the coast.

En effet la loi littorale, en France en particulier, et les règlements d'urbanismes en vigueur protègent le littoral en limitant la création de nouveaux ports ou l'agrandissement des existants, nécessitant alors, pour suivre l'augmentation de la demande de "garages" pour les embarcations particuliers de loisirs, d'autoriser des aires de stationnement à terre sur des terrains inconstructibles, où cette possibilité de stockage est encore tolérée. Cependant ces ports à sec créent des plaisanciers "de deuxième rang" par le fait que leur accès à la mer est peu commode, coûteux et dépendant d'une organisation ainsi que d'horaires ; ceci a pour conséquence entre autres de bloquer l'industrie nautique, d'accentuer le vieillissement du parc et d'augmenter l'encombrement des ports à flot par des bateaux dont la valeur essentielle est alors leur anneau.Indeed the littoral law, in France in particular, and the planning regulations in force protect the coastline by limiting the creation of new ports or expansion of existing ones, requiring so, to track the increase in demand for "garages" for private pleasure craft, to authorize parking areas on land on unbuilt land, where this possibility of storage is still tolerated. However these dry ports create "second-rate" boaters by the fact that their access to the sea is inconvenient, costly and dependent on an organization as well as schedules; this has the consequence, inter alia, of blocking the industry nautical, to accentuate the aging of the park and to increase the congestion of ports afloat by boats whose essential value is then their ring.

Le problème posé est donc de pouvoir d'une part franchir des ouvrages préexistants, ou à construire, sans grande modification de forme de ceux-ci si leur profil est linéairement continu et incliné, et d'autre part offrir une alternative aux ports à sec grâce à l'utilisation de plans d'eau fermés non communiquant avec la voie d'eau qui permettrait d'y accéder telle qu'un estuaire, la mer elle-même ou tout canal ou rivière donnant dans celle-ci, et situés à des niveaux d'eau différents de celui de leur voie d'eau d'accès.The problem is therefore to be able to on the one hand to cross pre-existing works, or to build, without big shape change of these if their profile is linearly continuous and inclined, and secondly offer an alternative to dry ports thanks to the use of closed water bodies that do not communicate with the waterway that would allow access to it such as a estuary, the sea itself or any canal or river giving in it, and located at water levels different from that of their access waterway.

De telles étendues d'eau ou bassins, qui peuvent être en eau douce ou en eau de mer, peuvent être alors situées à quelques centaines de mètres du rivage, creusées sur des terrains entre la côte +2 ou +3 NGF, sans atteindre la nappe alluviale et isolées de celle-ci avec alors un niveau d'eau situé au-dessus de celui de leur voie d'eau d'accès : la profondeur, d'1,8 à 2 mètres par exemple, du bassin permettrait de créer, sans réaliser de véritables quais, un port pouvant accueillir une centaine d'unités à l'hectare ; mais il faut alors pouvoir franchir la digue qui sépare ces bassins de la voie d'eau d'accès sans créer d'écluses.Such bodies of water or ponds, which may be in freshwater or seawater, can then be located a few hundred meters from the shore, dug on land between the +2 or +3 NGF coast, without reaching the alluvial layer and isolated from it with then a water level above that of their waterway access: the depth, from 1.8 to 2 meters for example, the basin would create without real docks, a port that can accommodate a hundred units per hectare; but then able to cross the dike that separates these basins from the access waterway without creating locks.

Une solution au problème posé est un transbordeur comprenant un ber et un chemin de roulement portant celui-ci, et destiné à être installé le long d'un profil linéaire continu, et dont toutes les parties sont soit horizontales soit inclinées, de tout ouvrage, soit préexistants soit à construire (tel que correspondant à la digue de séparation ci-dessus), bordant un plan d'eau (tel que celui fermé d'un "port-garage") et dont la coupe transversale est de forme générale trapézoïdale, lequel transbordeur étant apte à immerger ledit ber sous la surface du plan d'eau, à le sortir de l'eau et à le déplacer à sec : suivant l'invention ledit transbordeur comprend un bâti destiné à être fixé sur cet ouvrage et tournant sur lui-même suivant un axe vertical X,X', et un ensemble de bras reliant ledit bâti au ber et maintenant celui-ci en position horizontale quelle que soit sa position de rotation autour du bâti et de hauteur suivant le tracé du chemin de roulement.A solution to the problem posed is a ferry comprising a ber and a bearing race this one, and intended to be installed along a profile continuous linear, and of which all parts are either horizontally inclined, of any work, or pre-existing to be constructed (as corresponding to the separation dike above), bordering a body of water (such as the closed one of a "port-garage") and whose cut cross-section is generally trapezoidal in shape, which transhipment being able to immerse said ber under the surface of the body of water, out of the water and at the move dry: according to the invention said ferry includes a frame intended to be fixed on this structure and turning on itself along a vertical axis X, X ', and a set of arms connecting said frame to the ber and now this one in horizontal position whatever its rotational position around the frame and next height the layout of the raceway.

Le profil général, de type trapézoïdal, de l'ouvrage est de préférence constitué de succession de plans inclinés et horizontaux, la coupe transversale de sa partie émergée comprenant un premier segment de droite inclinée entre le plan d'eau et son sommet, et un deuxième très court segment de droite horizontal représentant ledit sommet de l'ouvrage sur lequel peuvent accéder dans certaines conditions des véhicules routiers ; mais ce profil pourrait être aussi constitué d'une série de plans inclinés séparés par des marches horizontales, ou de toute autre surface ou courbe ayant globalement une pente permettant d'y associer un chemin de roulement sur lequel peut se déplacer un ber.The general trapezoidal profile of the work is preferably made up of succession of inclined and horizontal planes, the cross section of its emerged part comprising a first segment of the right tilted between the body of water and its summit, and a second very short straight horizontal segment representing said top of the work on which may under certain conditions access road vehicles ; but this profile could also consist of a series of inclined planes separated by steps horizontal, or any other surface or curve having overall a slope to associate a path rolling on which can move a ber.

Pour répondre au problème des bassins fermés pour lesquels le transbordeur est destiné alors à être installé sur un ouvrage séparant deux plans d'eau pouvant être à des niveaux différents et même variables, le chemin de roulement est apte à porter le ber d'un plan d'eau à l'autre quels que soient les niveaux d'eau respectifs de ceux-ci.To address the problem of closed basins for which the ferry is intended to be installed on a structure separating two bodies of water to be at different levels and even variable, the runway is fit to carry the ber of a plane from one water to another regardless of water levels respective of these.

Dans un mode préférentiel de réalisation, le chemin de roulement est constitué par au moins deux rails dont les tracés sont quasi concentriques et équidistants : ils suivent (aux ajustements de hauteurs relatives près pour que ces rails permettent de maintenir le ber horizontal sur tout le chemin de roulement) les courbes d'intersections entre le profil de l'ouvrage et deux enveloppes pseudosphériques et concentriques, dont les centres sont situés sur l'axe X,X' : la projection verticale dans un plan horizontal de ces tracés sont des courbes de type cycloïde ; dans le cas d'un profil constitué de chaque côté de l'ouvrage par des plans inclinés continus, lesdits tracés sont alors des arcs de cercles situés dans lesdits plans qui sont aussi ceux du déplacement du ber.In a preferred embodiment, the path of rolling stock consists of at least two rails of which the lines are almost concentric and equidistant: they follow (at relative height adjustments for that these rails allow to maintain the horizontal ber on the entire track) the curves intersections between the profile of the structure and two pseudospheric and concentric envelopes, the centers are located on the X axis, X ': the projection vertical in a horizontal plane of these plots are cycloid type curves; in the case of a profile constituted on each side of the work by plans continuous slopes, said plots are then arcs of circles in these plans which are also those of the moving the ber.

Sur chacun des dits rails s'appuie au moins une roue solidaire du ber : deux roues au moins associées à deux rails différents sont disposées de préférence dans un même plan horizontal, soit au même niveau, mais décalée l'une par rapport à l'autre dans ce plan par rapport au sens de déplacement du ber pour éviter des efforts de torsion trop importants dans les bras, lesquels efforts pouvant provenir du mouvement transversal de rotation et de l'impossibilité d'axer parfaitement la charge ; lesdites roues sont reliées entre elles par un châssis (boggie) qui peut pivoter uniquement horizontalement afin de suivre le tracé en spirale ascendante et descendante des deux rails qui ont en permanence ainsi, sous ces roues, le même niveau, décalé de la distance entre les axes de ces roues.On each of these rails, at least one wheel integral with the ber: two wheels at least associated with two different rails are preferably arranged in the same horizontal plane, at the same level, but shifted relative to each other in this plane by relation to the direction of movement of the ber to avoid excessive torsional forces in the arms, which efforts can come from the movement transversal rotation and the impossibility to focus perfectly charge; said wheels are connected between them by a frame (boggie) that can rotate only horizontally in order to follow the route in upward and downward spiral of the two rails that have so permanently, under these wheels, the same level, offset from the distance between the axes of these wheels.

Le résultat est un nouveau type de transbordeur répondant au problème posé, sans modification notable du profil linéaire continu de la digue ou de l'ouvrage que l'on veut franchir, sauf bien sûr quelques travaux de génie civil d'installation, lequel dispositif suivant l'invention pouvant être utilisé pour sortir simplement un bateau de l'eau et l'amener à sec au-dessus de l'ouvrage.The result is a new type of ferry responding to the problem, without any significant change in continuous linear profile of the dike or structure that we want to cross, except of course some work of civil engineering installation, which device the invention can be used to simply go out a water boat and bring it dry over the work.

Le transbordeur suivant l'invention permet d'assurer en permanence le transbordement sans assistance d'un "pilote-technicien", puisque le propriétaire de chaque bateau ou tout opérateur peut utiliser ce transbordeur, qui peut être piloté facilement suivant la description et le procédé décrits ci-après ; il permet ainsi de satisfaire à la création de solutions intermédiaires entre le port classique et le port à sec, que sont les bassins fermés de "port-garage", et ainsi de promouvoir ce type de port situé en zone inconstructible, à l'abri des crues et de l'ensablement sans réduire le champ d'inondation ; situés à faible distance de la mer, et accessibles à tout moment, isolés de la nappe phréatique et garantissant la qualité de l'eau du bassin, ils proposent un abri sûr hors influences maritime ou fluviale, offrent une intégration dans le site (pas ou peu de cubes en béton ni de construction), facilitent l'accès des véhicules, avec un stationnement paysager, ainsi que les possibilités d'entretien des bateaux etc...The ferry according to the invention allows to ensure continuous transhipment without assistance of a "pilot-technician", since the owner of every boat or operator can use this transporter, which can be driven easily according to description and method described hereinafter; it allows thus to satisfy the creation of solutions intermediate between the classic port and the dry port, what are closed basins of "port-garage", and so of to promote this type of port located in an unbuildable zone, protected from flooding and silting without reducing the flood field; located a short distance from the sea, and accessible at any time, isolated from the tablecloth phreatic and guaranteeing the quality of the water of the basin, they offer a safe shelter out of maritime influences or fluvial, offer integration into the site (no or few cubes of concrete or construction), facilitate vehicle access, with landscaped parking, as well as the possibilities of maintenance of the boats etc ...

On pourrait citer d'autres avantages de la présente invention mais ceux cités ci-dessus en montrent déjà suffisamment pour en prouver la nouveauté et l'intérêt. La description ci-après et les dessins ci-joints représentent un exemple de réalisation de l'invention mais n'ont aucun caractère limitatif : d'autres réalisations sont possibles dans le cadre de la portée et de l'étendue de cette invention.

  • La figure 1 représente une vue perspective générale d'un transbordeur double suivant l'invention et disposé chacun dans deux positions de mise à l'eau sur deux plans d'eau de hauteur différente, de chaque côté de la digue de séparation ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue de dessus du même transbordeur double que la figure 1 ;
  • Les figures 3 sont trois vues de dessus, de profil et de face de la partie tournante d'un transbordeur autour de son bâti solidaire de l'ouvrage ou de la digue.
    • Other advantages of the present invention could be mentioned but those mentioned above already show enough to prove novelty and interest. The following description and the accompanying drawings show an exemplary embodiment of the invention but are not limiting in nature: other embodiments are possible within the scope and scope of this invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a general perspective view of a double ferry according to the invention and each disposed in two launching positions on two water bodies of different height, on each side of the separation dike;
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the same double transborder as Figure 1;
  • Figures 3 are three views from above, in profile and front of the rotating part of a ferry around its frame attached to the structure or the dike.

    • Les figures 1 et 2 représentent à titre d'exemple un ouvrage ou digue 10 séparant deux plans d'eau 11,12 et dont le profil est constitué de deux plans inclinés 101, 102, dont le plus grand 101 mesure par exemple de l'ordre de 8m, reliés à leur partie supérieure par un plan horizontal 103 : sa coupe transversale, perpendiculaire à ces plans, forme un trapèze dont la base supérieure 103 est alors nécessairement étroite pour permettre de part et d'autre de celle-ci le pivotement vers le bas des bras 3 du transbordeur tel que décrit ci-après, et la base inférieure 106 est constituée d'une semelle 104,105 pouvant dépasser de chaque côté des plans inclinés 101,102 pour former des rebords (les parties verticales de ceux-ci ne font pas partie de la définition du profil proprement dit de l'ouvrage tel que compris dans la présente description); la partie basse du plan incliné 102, correspondant au plan d'eau le plus haut, peut être tronquée, le rebord 105 alors obtenu pouvant en effet y être également plus haut que celui 104 du plan d'eau le plus bas. Figures 1 and 2 show by way of example a structure or dam 10 between two bodies of water and 11.12 whose profile consists of two inclined planes 10 1, 10 2, the largest of which measure 10 1 e.g. of the order of 8m, connected to their upper part by a horizontal plane 10 3 : its cross section, perpendicular to these planes, forms a trapezium whose upper base 10 3 is then necessarily narrow to allow on both sides of this is the downward pivoting of the arms 3 of the ferry as hereinafter described, and the lower base 6 consists of a sole 4 , 10 5 which can project from each side of the inclined planes 10 1 , 10 2 to form flanges (the vertical portions thereof are not part of the definition of the actual profile of the work as included in this description); the lower part of the inclined plane 10 2 , corresponding to the highest water level, may be truncated, the rim 10 5 thus obtained may indeed be higher there than that 4 4 of the lowest water level.

    De préférence les pentes des deux plans inclinés 101,102 sont identiques, de l'ordre de 27 à 30°, mais pouvant aller jusqu'à 45°.Preferably the slopes of the two inclined planes 10 1 , 10 2 are identical, of the order of 27 to 30 °, but up to 45 °.

    Le transbordeur 1 suivant l'invention comprend un ber 2 et un chemin de roulement 5 portant celui-ci et destiné à être installé le long du profil linéaire continu, et dont toutes les parties sont donc soit horizontales soit inclinées, de l'ouvrage 10 bordant au moins le plan d'eau 11 et, comme sur les figures jointes, en fait deux plans d'eau 11 et 12, le plan d'eau 11 étant situé plus bas que le plan d'eau 12 qui peut être celui d'un "port-garage".The ferry 1 according to the invention comprises a ber 2 and a raceway 5 carrying this one and intended to be installed along the linear profile continuous, and of which all parts are therefore either horizontally inclined, of the structure 10 bordering minus the water level 11 and, as in the attached figures, in fact two bodies of water 11 and 12, the body of water 11 being located lower than the water level 12 which may be the one of a "garage-port".

    Ledit transbordeur 1 est apte à immerger ledit ber 2 sous la surface de chaque plan d'eau, à le sortir de l'eau et à le déplacer à sec par-dessus ledit ouvrage 10 ; pour cela il comprend :

    • un bâti 4 destiné à être fixé sur la partie supérieure 103 de cet ouvrage 10 et tournant sur lui-même suivant un axe vertical X,X';
    • un ensemble de bras 3 de longueur correspondant à celle de la dimension du plus grand plan incliné de l'ouvrage, soit par exemple de l'ordre de 8m comme indiqué précédemment, et reliant ledit bâti 4 au ber 2 : ces bras 3 maintiennent celui-ci en position horizontale quelle que soit sa position de rotation autour du bâti 4 et de hauteur suivant le tracé du chemin de roulement 3 ; suivant le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures jointes quatre bras 3 relient deux par deux, respectivement 31s, 31i et 32s, 32i, les deux côtés longitudinaux du ber 2 au bâti 4, lesquels bras étant articulés à chacune de leurs extrémités, et chaque paire 31, 32 de bras disposée dans un plan vertical forme un parallélogramme déformable ;
    • deux rails constituant ledit chemin de roulement 5 et dont les tracés suivent, aux ajustements de hauteurs relatives près, les courbes d'intersections entre le profil de l'ouvrage de deux enveloppes pseudosphériques et concentriques (dont l'une est de rayon correspondant approximativement à la longueur des bras 3, corrigé de la hauteur du ber 2) et dont les centres sont situés sur l'axe X,X', et sur chacun desquels s'appuie au moins une roue 9 solidaire du ber 2 ; ces rails sont concentriques, équidistants et de même niveau en des points décalés de la distance (qui peut être par exemple de 1,5m pour la dimension d'ouvrage donné précédemment) entre les axes de roues 9 correspondantes et écartées de la partie inférieure de la traverse 82 décrite ci-après, pour y laisser son passage.
    • deux roues 91, 92 au moins associées à deux rails différents étant disposées dans un même plan horizontal (figure 3B) mais décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre (figure 3A) par rapport au sens de déplacement du ber 2 ; elles sont reliées entre elles par un châssis (boggie) orientable et pivotant horizontalement (non représenté sur les figures jointes)
    • ledit ber 2, qui peut être de toute forme connue et qui est par exemple constitué de deux traverses 8, telle qu'en forme "V" d'angle de 120 à 126° afin d'une part d'épouser au mieux la forme des coques des bateaux, et d'autre part de correspondre à la pente de l'ouvrage 10, chaque traverse 8 pouvant porter des rouleaux et/ou des dispositifs souples tels que des coussins remplis d'eau pour prendre en charge en douceur la coque des bateaux destinée à s'y appuyer ; au moins la traverse 81, la plus distale du cadre de liaison 6 (qui comprend une autre traverse 82), entre le ber 2 et les bras d'entraínement 3, et sur laquelle est destinée à venir s'appuyer une extrémité de la coque du bateau soit du côté de son étrave soit du côté de sa poupe, est relevable pour soulever ladite extrémité du bateau ; ce mouvement de relevage de la traverse 81 peut être assuré par des vérins (schématiquement représentés suivant les figures jointes) 7 supports supérieurs du ber 2 reliant l'extrémité distale de celui-ci à la partie supérieure du cadre 6 qui porte également les roues 9 sous la traverse 82.
    Said ferry 1 is adapted to immerse said ber 2 under the surface of each body of water, out of the water and move dry over said structure 10; for that he understands:
    • a frame 4 intended to be fixed on the upper part 10 3 of this structure 10 and rotating on itself along a vertical axis X, X ';
    • a set of arms 3 of length corresponding to that of the dimension of the largest inclined plane of the structure, for example of the order of 8m as indicated above, and connecting said frame 4 to ber 2: these arms 3 maintain the one in horizontal position whatever its position of rotation around the frame 4 and height according to the layout of the raceway 3; according to the embodiment shown in the accompanying figures four arms 3 connect two by two, respectively 3 1s , 3 1i and 3 2s , 3 2i , the two longitudinal sides of the ber 2 to the frame 4, which arm being hinged to each of their ends, and each arm pair 3 1 , 3 2 disposed in a vertical plane forms a deformable parallelogram;
    • two rails constituting said raceway 5 and whose traces follow, with relative height adjustments, the curves of intersections between the profile of the structure of two pseudospheric and concentric envelopes (one of which has a radius corresponding approximately to the length of the arms 3, corrected by the height of the ber 2) and whose centers are located on the axis X, X ', and on each of which rests at least one wheel 9 secured to the ber 2; these rails are concentric, equidistant and of the same level at points offset from the distance (which may be for example 1.5 m for the dimension of structure given above) between the corresponding wheel axles 9 and spaced from the lower part of the transom 8 2 described below, to let its passage.
    • at least two wheels 9 1 , 9 2 associated with two different rails being disposed in the same horizontal plane (Figure 3B) but offset relative to each other (Figure 3A) relative to the direction of movement of the ber 2; they are interconnected by a swiveling frame (bogie) horizontally (not shown in the attached figures)
    • said ber 2, which can be of any known shape and which consists for example of two sleepers 8, such as "V" angle of 120 to 126 ° in order firstly to marry at best the shape hulls of the boats, and secondly to correspond to the slope of the structure 10, each cross member 8 may carry rollers and / or flexible devices such as cushions filled with water to support the hull gently boats to support it; at least the crosspiece 8 1 , the distal of the connecting frame 6 (which comprises another crossbeam 8 2 ), between the ber 2 and the drive arm 3, and on which is intended to abut one end of the hull of the boat is on the side of its bow or on the side of its stern, is liftable to lift the said end of the boat; this lifting movement of the cross member 8 1 can be provided by cylinders (schematically represented according to the attached figures) 7 upper supports of the ber 2 connecting the distal end thereof to the upper part of the frame 6 which also carries the wheels 9 under the crossbar 8 2 .

    Les traverses vérins 7 permettent l'abaissement du ber en phase de déchargement et son relèvement (par exemple de 5°) en phase de chargement permet ainsi d'une part de bien mettre en charge les roues motrices 9 pour favoriser leur adhérence, et d'autre part d'éviter tout glissement arrière du bateau.The cylinder ties 7 allow the lowering of the ber in unloading phase and its recovery (by example of 5 °) in the loading phase thus allows a share of well put in charge the drive wheels 9 for promote their adherence, and secondly to avoid any rear slip of the boat.

    De préférence le chemin de roulement 5 est constitué de rails dont la surface d'appui recevant les roues 9 supports du ber 2 est compatible avec celles de ces roues 9 qui sont motrices, de telle sorte que ces surfaces permettent l'adhérence et le déplacement de ces roues 9 ; lesdites surfaces des rails peuvent être par exemple à crémaillère ou simplement rugueuses, et sur lesquelles s'engrainent ou adhèrent lesdites roues 9 supports du ber 2 ; lesquelles roues 9 motrices, disposées en quinconce, pouvant être entraínées par des moteurs hydrauliques.Preferably the raceway 5 is consisting of rails whose bearing surface receiving the wheels 9 supports the ber 2 is compatible with those of these wheels 9 which are motor, so that these surfaces allow the adhesion and displacement of these wheels 9; said rail surfaces may be example racked or simply rough, and on which engrain or adhere to said wheels 9 ber 2 supports; which 9-wheel drive, arranged in staggered rows, which can be trained by hydraulic motors.

    Grâce à la déformabilité des parallélogrammes formés par les bras support 3 articulés à leur extrémité et à la possibilité d'interrompre ou non la rotation de l'ensemble dès que le ber est amené à un niveau du profil 10 de l'ouvrage compatible avec celui du plan d'eau pour permettre à un bateau de passer au-dessus de ses traverses 8, ledit chemin de roulement 5 est ainsi apte à permettre de transborder ce bateau d'un plan d'eau à l'autre, quel que soit le niveau d'eau respectif de ceux-ci : le niveau du plan d'eau supérieur 12 peut être fixe, pouvant correspondre à des plans d'eau de "port-garage" fermés non communiquant, alors que celui de l'autre plan d'eau 11 inférieur peut être variable puisque pouvant correspondre au canal d'accès communiquant avec la mer donc sujet à des variations.Thanks to the deformability of the parallelograms formed by the support arms 3 hinged at their end and the possibility of interrupting or not the rotation of all as soon as the ber is brought to a profile level 10 of the work compatible with that of the water plan for allow a boat to pass over her 8, said runway 5 is thus adapted to allow to tranship this boat from a body of water to the other, regardless of the respective water level of these : the level of the upper body of water 12 can be fixed, may correspond to water bodies of "port-garage" closed non-communicating, while that of the other plane water 11 can be variable since correspond to the access channel communicating with the sea therefore subject to variations.

    Pour pouvoir accéder au bateau (non représenté sur les figures jointes) ou débarquer de celui-ci quand il est pris en charge dans le ber 2, le transbordeur suivant l'invention comporte au moins une plate-forme d'accès 13 s'étendant au moins entre une partie émergée de l'ouvrage 10 tel que de préférence sa partie supérieure 103, et la surface du plan d'eau correspondant : cette plate-forme peut comporter un accès par une passerelle ou un escalier 131 et ses côtés latéraux 132 sont de forme telle qu'ils sont disposées quasi parallèlement à ceux du ber 2 quand celui-ci est en position de récupération ou de dépose d'un bateau sur ledit plan d'eau.To be able to access the boat (not shown in the attached figures) or disembark from it when it is supported in the ber 2, the ferry according to the invention comprises at least one access platform 13 extending at least between an emergent part of the structure 10, such as preferably its upper part 3 , and the surface of the corresponding body of water: this platform may comprise an access by a footbridge or a staircase 13 1 and its sides lateral 13 2 are shaped such that they are arranged almost parallel to those of ber 2 when it is in the position of recovery or removal of a boat on said body of water.

    Ladite plate-forme 13 est flottante et mobile dans le plan vertical pour suivre les variations de niveau du plan d'eau, en particulier dans l'exemple des figures jointes du côté du plan d'eau inférieur variable 11 ; si on arrête alors le ber en rotation dès que les traverses support 8 permettent de dégager le bateau par flottaison de celui-ci, la position correspondante du ber dépendra du niveau du plan d'eau et sera plus ou moins éloignée alors de la plate-forme 13 : celle-ci peut être alors montée, du côté de sa passerelle d'accès 131, coulissante sur un tube guide vertical autour duquel elle peut pivoter pour être rapprochée du ber 2.Said platform 13 is floating and movable in the vertical plane to follow the variations of level of the water level, in particular in the example of the figures attached to the side of the variable lower water plane 11; if we then stop the ber in rotation as soon as the cross support 8 can release the boat by flotation thereof, the corresponding position of the ber will depend on the level of the water and will be more or less distant then the platform form 13: it can then be mounted on the side of its access gateway 13 1 , sliding on a vertical guide tube around which it can rotate to be close to the ber 2.

    La plate-forme d'accès 14 du côté du plan d'eau supérieur fixe 12 peut être alors elle aussi fixe : cette plate-forme est de surface beaucoup plus grande en largeur que celle du côté du plan d'eau inférieur, comme représenté sur la figure 2, puisque l'amplitude du mouvement de déplacement (en rotation et en hauteur) du ber 3 est bien sûr moins importante du côté du plan d'eau le plus élevé que du côté du plan d'eau le plus bas.The access platform 14 on the side of the body of water higher fixed 12 can be then also fixed: this platform is much larger surface in width than that on the lower water side, as shown in Figure 2, since the amplitude of the movement (in rotation and in height) of the ber 3 is of course less important on the side of the body of water higher than on the side of the lowest water level.

    L'ensemble de la motorisation de ce transbordeur outre les roues elles-mêmes 9 mais également le relevage de la traverse 81, peut être hydraulique et être commandé aisément par tout opérateur tel que le propriétaire ou tout marin du bateau qui doit être transbordé.The entire engine of this ferry in addition to the wheels themselves 9 but also the lifting of the cross 8 1 , can be hydraulic and be easily controlled by any operator such as the owner or any sailor of the boat to be transhipped.

    Pour cela :

    • le ber 2 étant positionné proche d'une des plates-formes d'accès 13, et donc immergé sous le plan d'eau correspondant, le pilote du bateau engage celui-ci au-dessus au moins de la traverse 81 puis de celle 82 du cadre 6 ; une fois le bateau positionné et arrêté, le pilote et tout autre passager peut débarquer du bateau par la plate-forme 13
    • monté sur le sommet 103 de l'ouvrage grâce à la passerelle 131 d'accès à la plate-forme 13, le pilote actionne la commande du transbordeur à partir de tout boítier destiné à cet effet, tel que par exemple placé à proximité du bâti tournant 4.
    • celui-ci bascule dans un premier temps le bateau en relevant la traverse 81 afin qu'il ne puisse pas glisser hors du ber 2 lors du déplacement, puis entraíne en rotation le bâti 4 grâce aux roues 9 motorisées qui engraineront sur les rails du chemin de roulement 5 pour monter au-dessus de l'ouvrage 10,
    • les bras 3 maintenant le ber 2 dans la même position, celui-ci franchit ainsi la partie supérieure 103 de l'ouvrage puis redescend de l'autre côté vers l'autre plan d'eau jusqu'à ce qu'il soit positionné à côté de l'autre plate-forme 14 à partir de laquelle le pilote pourra ré-embarquer quand la traverse 81 aura basculé à nouveau pour libérer le bateau.
    • et ainsi de suite avec un autre bateau ; si les deux bers sont disposés sur le versant opposé de la digue 10 par rapport à celui où arriverait un bateau qui veut franchir celle-ci, son pilote accoste la plate-forme pour pouvoir accéder par celle-ci au sommet de la digue : il peut alors actionner le ber situé bien sûr de l'autre côté des plates-formes que celui où il a accosté, pour que le ber correspondant vienne se positionner sur le versant où attend le bateau ; le pilote remonte alors dans celui-ci et effectue la manoeuvre précédemment décrite.
    For that :
    • ber 2 being positioned close to one of the access platforms 13, and therefore immersed under the corresponding water, the boat driver engages the latter above at least the cross 8 1 and then the one 8 2 of box 6; once the boat is positioned and stopped, the pilot and any other passenger can disembark from the boat by the platform 13
    • mounted on the top 10 3 of the structure through the bridge 13 1 access platform 13, the pilot actuates the control of the ferry from any housing for this purpose, such as for example placed near rotating frame 4.
    • it first tilts the boat by raising the cross 8 1 so that it can not slip out of the ber 2 when moving, then rotates the frame 4 thanks to the motorized wheels 9 which will engrain on the rails of the runway 5 for mounting above the work 10,
    • the arms 3 now the ber 2 in the same position, it then crosses the upper part 3 of the book and then down on the other side to the other body of water until it is positioned next to the other platform 14 from which the pilot can re-board when the crossbar 8 1 has tilted again to release the boat.
    • and so on with another boat; if the two bers are arranged on the opposite side of the dike 10 compared to the one where a boat that wants to cross it, its pilot docked the platform to be able to access it at the top of the dyke: it can then operate the ber located of course on the other side of the platforms that the one where it accosted, so that the corresponding ber comes to be positioned on the slope where the boat is waiting; the pilot then goes back into it and performs the maneuver previously described.

    Il est évident qu'avec un seul ber l'opération serait identique : la réalisation de transbordeur double permet cependant une cadence de nombre de bateaux transbordables bien sûr plus élevé.It is obvious that with a single ber the operation would be identical: the realization of double ferry however allows a rate of number of boats transhipping of course higher.
