Abstract

Despite every effort to tighten the belly of a self-winding Genoa jib, as soon as the number of turns exceeds two or three the residual belly of the Genoa jib reduces the ability of the vessel to sail into the wind, often at the very moment when this is most necessary. The object of the invention is to provide a device for reducing, if not eliminating, this belly. The solution proposed in accordance with the invention is a hauling-in device for a sail (V) wound onto a stay or into a mast, said sail being a jib, a Genoa jib or a mainsail, and said device comprising a strap (10) or an eye fixed to the luff of said sail, the device being characterized in that it consists of a guided hook (4) that engages in said strap or eye.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation permettant l'accrochage d'une drisse sur une sangle située sur la chute d'un foc ou d'une voile, le dispositif d'étarquage est composé d'un crochet ouvert guidé par une glissière passant à l'intérieur d'une sangle située sur la chute de la voile, ledit crochet s'engageant dans ladite sangle lorsque, tiré par une drisse, il arrive au niveau de ladite sangle.According to a first embodiment allowing the attachment of a halyard on a strap located on the fall of a jib or a sail, the tensioning device is composed of an open hook guided by a slide passing to the inside a strap located on the fall of the sail, said hook engaging in said strap when, pulled by a halyard, it reaches the level of said strap.
Le guidage du crochet est avantageusement réalisé au moyen d'une fermeture à glissière sur laquelle coulissent deux coulisseaux disposés tête- bêche, ouvrant et refermant ladite glissière à leur passage.The guide of the hook is advantageously made by means of a slide fastener on which slide two slides arranged head-to-tail, opening and closing said slide in their passage.
Les deux coulisseaux sont préférentiellement solidarisés par des axes à une pièce de liaison, le crochet se fixant sur la glissière au moyen d'une partie femelle qui entrera dans une partie mâle de ladite pièce de liaison et sur laquelle il se solidarisera au moyen d'un téton.The two slides are preferably secured by pins to a connecting piece, the hook being fixed on the slideway by means of a female part which will enter a male part of said connecting piece and on which it will be solidified by means of a nipple.
Selon un second mode de réalisation, le dispositif d'étarquage est constitué d'un chariot roulant sur la voile partiellement enroulée, ledit chariot étant composé de deux parties solidarisables, ledit chariot étant tracté par un crochet ayant un débattement latéral permettant le guidage dudit crochet et son engagement dans la sangle.According to a second embodiment, the tensioning device consists of a rolling carriage on the partially coiled sail, said carriage being composed of two parts which can be fixed, said carriage being towed by a hook having a lateral movement for guiding said hook and its engagement in the strap.
La sangle est avantageusement retenue de part et d'autre par un élastique permettant le guidage de la partie haute du chariot supportant le crochet.The strap is advantageously retained on either side by an elastic for guiding the upper part of the carriage supporting the hook.
Le chariot est préférentiellement composé de deux paires de quatre galets élastiques permettant le centrage dudit chariot sur la voile enroulée, et d'une partie permettant son guidage le long de la partie plate de ladite voile.The carriage is preferably composed of two pairs of four elastic rollers for centering said carriage on the rolled sail, and a portion for its guidance along the flat portion of said sail.
Le chariot peut comporter un crochet ayant un débattement le long de la partie plate de la voile lui permettant son guidage vers la sangle et son accrochage sur celle-ci.The carriage may comprise a hook having a movement along the flat portion of the sail allowing it to guide the strap and its attachment thereon.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la voile comporte des renforts aux points d'ancrage de la sangle et éventuellement entre les sangles haute et basse pour pouvoir supporter la tension en résorbant le creux.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the sail comprises reinforcements at the anchoring points of the strap and possibly between the high and low straps to be able to withstand the tension by resorbing the hollow.
Dans une autre variante de réalisation, le dispositif d'étarquage est constitué d'un chariot composé d'un crochet guidé par une glissière solidaire du mât dans lequel est enroulée une grand-voile.In another embodiment, the tensioning device consists of a carriage consisting of a hook guided by a slideway secured to the mast in which is wound a mainsail.
Selon encore une autre variante de réalisation, le crochet est préférentiellement solidaire d'un chariot mobile guidé se déplaçant sur la voile, ledit chariot pouvant être radioguidé.According to yet another alternative embodiment, the hook is preferably integral with a guided mobile carriage moving on the sail, said carriage being radio-guided.

Modes de réalisation de l'invention.Embodiments of the invention
L'invention propose un moyen de réduire, voire supprimer le creux d'une voile roulée sur un étai ou dans un mât. Il s'agit de pouvoir étarquer la ralingueThe invention proposes a means of reducing or even eliminating the hollow of a sail rolled on a stay or in a mast. It's about being able to tether the headline
«relative» de la voile roulée. Par « voile », on entend un foc, un génois ou une grand-voile. Par ralingue relative, on entend la partie de la voile non roulée située le long de l'étai ou du mât. L'invention propose deux solutions à ce problème. Dans chacune de ces solutions, cet étarquage ne sera possible que dans un petit nombre de positions pré-choisies. Typiquement, pour un génois de 50 m2, on pourra le réduire efficacement à 30 et à 18 m2 par exemple."Relative" of the rolled sail. "Sail" means a jib, a genoa or a mainsail. Relative rope means the part of the un-rolled sail along the forestay or mast. The invention proposes two solutions to this problem. In each of these solutions, this tensioning will be possible only in a small number of pre-selected positions. Typically, for a genoa of 50 m 2 , it can be effectively reduced to 30 and 18 m 2 for example.
Il s'agit de réaliser un moyen permettant d'accrocher les haut et bas de la ralingue relative, et étarquer celle-ci. Un renfort en « Dynamea® », ou autre matériau résistant aura pu être préalablement cousu ou simplement solidarisé au moyen d'un gousset sur la "ralingue relative" de la voile, renfort sur lequel on appliquera la tension. Il s'agit donc de guider une drisse pour accrocher la partie haute de ce renfort, la partie basse étant accessible à partir du pont. On peut observer sur la figure 1 , la voile V déroulée, munie des sangles hautes 10 et basses 11 , des renforts 100, et des glissières 2.It is a matter of making it possible to hang the top and bottom of the relative headline, and to tug the latter. A "Dynamea®" reinforcement or other resistant material may have been previously sewn or simply secured by means of a gusset on the "relative rope" of the sail, reinforcement on which the tension will be applied. It is therefore a question of guiding a halyard to hang the upper part of this reinforcement, the lower part being accessible from the bridge. It is possible to observe in FIG. 1 the sail V unwound, provided with the upper and lower straps 11, reinforcements 100, and slides 2.
En se rapportant aux figures 1 , 2a, 2b et 2c, la première solution consiste à installer une fermeture à glissière 2 muni de deux coulisseaux 30, 31 solidarisés entre eux et solidarisés au crochet 4 que l'on fait monter (figure 2c). Arrivé près du haut, ce crochet 4 s'engagera dans une sangle 10 ou un œil solidarisé à la chute de la voile V permettant l'étarquage. Les sangles basses 11 , mises sous tension par un bout, permettent de tenir la partie basse de ladite voile. En se rapportant à la figure 2c, on prendra soin de relier une drisse 40 au crochet 4 pour lui permettre de monter et un bout 41 pour lui permettre de redescendre.Referring to Figures 1, 2a, 2b and 2c, the first solution is to install a zipper 2 provided with two slides 30, 31 secured to each other and secured to the hook 4 which is mounted (Figure 2c). Arrived near the top, this hook 4 will engage in a strap 10 or an eye secured to the fall of the sail V for fastening. The low straps 11, powered by one end, allow to hold the lower part of said sail. Referring to Figure 2c, we will take care to connect a halyard 40 to the hook 4 to allow it to mount and a tip 41 to allow it to go down.
En se rapportant aux figures 3a et 3b, la deuxième solution consiste à utiliser un chariot 5 roulant le long de l'étai E et muni d'un crochet 4 qui s'engagera dans la sangle 10 (ou l'oeil) prévu sur le génois en haut des ralingues relatives. Ce chariot 5 sera pourvu de galets élastiques 50 permettant d'ajuster son diamètre intérieur à celui de la voile roulée Vr, et d'une partie suffisamment plate coulissant le long de la voile déroulée Vd pour assurer son alignement lors de la montée au moyen de la drisse.Referring to Figures 3a and 3b, the second solution is to use a carriage 5 running along the strut E and provided with a hook 4 which will engage in the strap 10 (or the eye) provided on the genoa at the top of the relative ropes. This carriage 5 will be provided with elastic rollers 50 for adjusting its inside diameter to that of the rolled sail Vr, and a part sufficiently flat sliding along the unrolled sail Vd to ensure its alignment during the climb by means of the halyard.
Dans les deux cas, on pourra prévoir des renforts 100 aux endroits pré- choisis sur la voile V (figure 1) pour répartir les efforts dus à l'étarquage.In both cases, reinforcements 100 may be provided at the pre-selected locations on the sail V (FIG. 1) in order to distribute the forces due to tensioning.
Première solution.First solution.
Dans une réalisation de la première solution figures 1 , 2a, 2b et 2c, une simple glissière 2 sera cousue sur la voile V pour permettre le guidage du crochet 4 que l'on observe figure 2c.In an embodiment of the first solution of FIGS. 1, 2a, 2b and 2c, a simple slide 2 will be sewn on the sail V to allow the guiding of the hook 4 which is observed in FIG. 2c.
Pour offrir plus de souplesse au tissu, on pourra coudre sur la voile V deux bandes de tissu solidarisées par une fermeture à glissière 2, par exemple de type fermeture Eclair®, le crochet 4 étant inséré entre un coulisseau 30 ouvrant et un coulisseau 31 fermant solidarisés entre eux au moyen d'une pièce de liaison 300. Les coulisseaux 30, 31 s'insèrent dans des fentes 303 prévues dans la pièce de liaison 300, des axes 304 permettant de fixer lesdits coulisseaux sur ladite pièce de liaison. Cette solution a l'avantage de permettre de contenir le bout 41 permettant de rappeler le crochet 4 et la drisse 40 permettant de monter ledit crochet.To provide more flexibility to the fabric, it is possible to sew on the sail V two strips of fabric joined together by a zipper 2, for example of the Eclair® closure type, the hook 4 being inserted between an opening slide 30 and a closing slide 31. secured together by means of a connecting piece 300. The sliders 30, 31 fit into slots 303 provided in the connecting piece 300, axes 304 for securing said sliders on said connecting piece. This solution has the advantage of allowing to contain the tip 41 to recall the hook 4 and the halyard 40 for mounting said hook.
Le crochet 4 pourra se fixer sur la glissière 2 au moyen d'une partie femelle 401 qui entrera dans une partie mâle 301 de la pièce de liaison 300 et sur laquelle il se solidarisera au moyen d'un téton 402 éventuellement monté sur ressort. En se rapportant à la figure 2c, le téton 402 est avantageusement inséré dans un alésage réalisé dans le crochet 4, un ressort 4020 poussant naturellement ledit téton dans un alésage complémentaire 302 prévu dans la pièce de liaison 300. De cette façon, le crocher 4 est solidement maintenu en position sur la pièce de liaison 300. Pour désolidariser le crochet 4 de la pièce de liaison 300, il suffit de manipuler une tirette 4021 reliée au téton 402 de façon à comprimer le ressort 4020 et faire sortir ledit téton de l'alésage 302.The hook 4 can be fixed on the slide 2 by means of a female portion 401 which will enter a male portion 301 of the connecting piece 300 and on which it will be secured by means of a pin 402 possibly spring-mounted. Referring to Figure 2c, the pin 402 is advantageously inserted into a bore in the hook 4, a spring 4020 naturally pushing said pin in a complementary bore 302 provided in the connecting piece 300. In this way, the hook 4 is firmly held in position on the connecting piece 300. To separate the hook 4 of the piece link 300, it is sufficient to manipulate a pull 4021 connected to the pin 402 so as to compress the spring 4020 and pull out said pin from the bore 302.
La glissière 2 pourra être fixée sur le mât lorsque la voile V que l'on veut étarquer est la grand-voile.The slide 2 may be fixed on the mast when the sail V that is to be tailed is the mainsail.
Deuxième solution.Second solution.
Dans cette solution, le crochet 4 est fixé sur un chariot 5. Lorsque le chariot 5 arrive près du haut, le crochet 4 peut s'engager dans une sangle 10 ou un œil solidarisé à la voile V et permettant l'étarquage.In this solution, the hook 4 is fixed on a carriage 5. When the carriage 5 arrives near the top, the hook 4 can engage in a strap 10 or an eye secured to the sail V and allowing the fastening.
Le chariot 5 est avantageusement composé de deux parties permettant son engagement sur l'étai E, les parties seront ensuite solidarisées. Nous le considérerons désormais comme étant d'une seule partie.The carriage 5 is advantageously composed of two parts allowing its engagement on the strut E, the parts will then be secured. We will now consider it as one part.
Vu en section perpendiculaire à l'étai E figure 3a, il commence par une partie rectiligne qui sera alignée avec la partie non enroulée de la voile Vd le long de l'étai E. Des galets 50 de part et d'autre du chariot 5 aux extrémités de cette partie sont destinés à permettre le roulement le long de la partie déroulée de la voile Vd. Suit alors une partie circulaire sur 270° qui se termine perpendiculairement à la partie rectiligne précédente ; des galets 50 faisant face aux précédents assurent en complétant ceux-ci le roulement le long de la partie roulée de la voile Vr. Cette partie de la voile est ainsi prise en sandwich entre ces paires de galets 50. Il sera bon de prévoir, d'un des deux cotés, un montage élastique des galets 50. En pratique, les galets 50 sont montés sur des supports élastiques 500 à ressort tendant à les plaquer contre la voile. Le diamètre de cette partie circulaire sera choisi pour être toujours supérieur au plus grand diamètre de la voile enroulée que l'on désire étarquer. L'alignement sur la voile enroulée sera facilité par trois (ou plus) paires de galets 50 montés élastiquement sur cette partie centrale.Seen in section perpendicular to the strut E Figure 3a, it begins with a straight portion which will be aligned with the non-wound portion of the sail Vd along the strut E. Rollers 50 on either side of the carriage 5 at the ends of this part are intended to allow rolling along the unrolled portion of the sail Vd, followed by a 270 ° circular portion which terminates perpendicularly to the preceding rectilinear portion; rollers 50 facing the preceding ensure completing them rolling along the rolled portion of the sail Vr. This part of the sail is thus sandwiched between these pairs of rollers 50. It will be good to provide, on one of the two sides, an elastic assembly of the rollers 50. In practice, the rollers 50 are mounted on resilient supports 500 with a spring tending to press against the sail. The diameter of this circular portion will be chosen to always be greater than the largest diameter of the wound sail that is to be sailed. alignment on the coiled sail will be facilitated by three (or more) pairs of rollers 50 resiliently mounted on this central portion.
Un anneau termine vers le haut la partie rectiligne, sur lequel on frappera la drisse. Un crochet 4 glisse d'autre part de la voile, et est destiné à s'engager dans le « point de drisse » (c'est-à-dire dans la sangle 10 ou l'œil solidarisés à la chute de ladite voile) de l'endroit où l'on veut réduire la voile. La sangle 10 est avantageusement retenue de part et d'autre par un élastique permettant le guidage de la partie haute du chariot 5 supportant le crochet 4. Le détail des galets 50 sur support élastique 500 peut être observé sur la figure 3b.A ring ends up the rectilinear part, on which we will strike the halyard. A hook 4 slides on the other hand from the sail, and is intended to engage in the "halyard point" (that is to say in the strap 10 or eye secured to the fall of said sail) where you want to reduce the sail. The strap 10 is advantageously retained on either side by an elastic allowing the guiding of the upper part of the carriage 5 supporting the hook 4. The detail of the rollers 50 on elastic support 500 can be observed in FIG. 3b.
Dans une variante de réalisation s'appliquant particulièrement bien au cas d'une grand-voile, un chariot sur lequel est fixé le crochet 4, est guidé par une glissière solidaire du mât dans lequel est enroulée ladite grand-voile.In an alternative embodiment particularly applicable to the case of a mainsail, a carriage on which is fixed the hook 4, is guided by a slideway secured to the mast in which is wound said mainsail.
Dans une autre variante de réalisation, le crochet 4 peut être solidaire d'un chariot mobile guidé se déplaçant sur la voile, ledit chariot pouvant être radioguidé. Dans ce cas, la montée et la descente du chariot peuvent être commandées directement depuis le pont au moyen d'une radiocommande. Par exemple, des roues de guidage sont guidées au moyen d'un moteur pouvant être radioguidé.In another variant embodiment, the hook 4 may be integral with a guided mobile carriage moving on the sail, said carriage being radio-guided. In this case, the raising and lowering of the truck can be controlled directly from the bridge by means of a radio control. For example, guide wheels are guided by means of a radio-controlled motor.
Le chariot mobile guidé pourra intégrer un moyen formant une dépression sur la voile et permettant de maintenir ledit chariot sur ladite voile. La dépression peut être obtenue par l'intermédiaire d'un ventilateur électrique combiné à des buses d'aspiration en contact avec la voile. Lorsque le ventilateur est en marche, il aspire l'air au niveau des buses, ce qui tend à créer un effet ventouse permettant de maintenir le chariot sur la voile. The guided mobile carriage may incorporate a means forming a depression on the sail and for maintaining said carriage on said sail. Depression can be achieved by means of an electric fan combined with suction nozzles in contact with the sail. When the fan is running, it sucks the air at the nozzles, which tends to create a suction effect to maintain the carriage on the sail.
