Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des dispositifs de séchage, et en particulier des dispositifs permettant de faire sécher du matériel de plongée tout en limitant son contact avec l'environnement immédiat du séchoir.The invention relates to the field of drying devices, and in particular devices for drying dive equipment while limiting its contact with the immediate environment of the dryer.

État de la techniqueState of the art

L'importance de maintenir un matériel de plongée tel qu'un scaphandre autonome comprenant généralement une combinaison isothermique, un masque, des palmes, des gants, un gilet stabilisateur, un lestage et d'une bouteille de plongée sec et à l'abri d'éléments corrosifs tels que l'eau salée est bien connu. Cet équipement étant normalement utilisé en immersion, potentiellement à de hautes profondeurs, il est primordial d'entretenir convenablement ce matériel. L'entretien de ce matériel comprend notamment une étape de rinçage et une étape de séchage subséquentes à une cession de plongée. Cependant, l'étape de séchage peut s'avérer problématique pour plusieurs raisons. Il faut d'une part disposer d'un endroit dédié afin de faire sécher l'ensemble du matériel. Il faut d'autre part disposer de moyens pour placer les différents éléments du matériel de plongée, ces moyens devant être correctement dimensionnés et agencés afin de faire sécher le matériel dans des conditions optimales et d'éviter toute déformation du matériel. Enfin, il faut également s'assurer que le matériel une fois mis en sèche ne soit pas en contact avec tout élément salissant ou corrosif, afin de conserver le matériel en bon état.The importance of maintaining dive equipment such as a scuba gear that usually includes a wetsuit, mask, fins, gloves, buoyancy vest, ballast, and a dry dive bottle. corrosive elements such as salt water is well known. This equipment is normally used in immersion, potentially at high depths, it is essential to properly maintain this equipment. The maintenance of this equipment includes a rinsing step and a drying step subsequent to a diving assignment. However, the drying step can be problematic for several reasons. It is necessary on the one hand to have a dedicated place in order to dry all the material. It is also necessary to have means for placing the various elements of the diving equipment, these means must be properly sized and arranged to dry the equipment in optimal conditions and avoid any deformation of the equipment. Finally, it must also ensure that the material once dry does not come into contact with any messy or corrosive, in order to keep the equipment in good condition.

A cette fin, des dispositifs pour faire sécher du matériel de plongée ont été développés. A titre d'exemple, le document CA2822985 décrit un dispositif tripode pour assécher des vêtements, et comportant une pluralité de moyens pour accrocher ou suspendre les vêtements. Le dispositif décrit comprend également un moteur afin de propulser de l'air dans le cadre du tripode, et ainsi faire sécher plus rapidement les vêtements accrochés ou suspendus sur le tripode.To this end, devices for drying diving equipment have been developed. For example, the document CA2822985 discloses a tripod device for drying clothes, and having a plurality of means for hanging or hanging clothes. The described device also comprises a motor for propelling air within the framework of the tripod, and thus dry clothes hanging or hanging on the tripod more quickly.

Ce dispositif ne convient pas pour faire sécher les différents éléments d'un scaphandre autonome, c'est-à-dire au minimum une combinaison de plongée, par exemple une combinaison isothermique, un masque, des palmes, des gants, un gilet stabilisateur, un lestage et d'une bouteille de plongée sec. Certains de ces éléments ne peuvent pas être suspendus ou accroché de façon optimale afin d'en assurer leur séchage. De plus, lorsque les différents éléments du scaphandre autonome sont placés sur ce dispositif après rinçage, l'eau goutant de ces éléments tombe sur le sol entourant le dispositif. Ceci est un inconvénient majeur lorsque l'on ne dispose pas d'un local dédié au séchage, ou ne comprenant pas un sol imperméable par exemple. D'autres dispositifs, notamment décrits dans les documents WO 2011/088498 , US 2007/051686 et US 2008/222909 , divulguent des dispositifs semblables, mais ne permettent pas un séchage aisé des différents éléments d'un scaphandre autonome, ou ne sont pas facilement transportables.This device is not suitable for drying the various elements of a scuba, that is to say at least a diving suit, for example an isothermal suit, a mask, fins, gloves, a stabilizing vest, a ballast and a dry diving bottle. Some of these elements can not be suspended or hooked optimally to ensure their drying. In addition, when the various elements of the scuba apparatus are placed on this device after rinsing, the water from these elements falls on the ground surrounding the device. This is a major drawback when one does not have a room dedicated to drying, or not including a waterproof floor for example. Other devices, in particular described in the documents WO 2011/088498 , US 2007/051686 and US 2008/222909 , disclose similar devices, but do not allow easy drying of the various elements of a scuba, or are not easily transportable.

Il est primordial dans ce contexte de disposer d'un dispositif apte à recevoir les différents éléments d'un scaphandre autonome, dont au moins une combinaison de plongée, un masque, des palmes, des gants, un gilet stabilisateur, un lestage et d'une bouteille de plongée sec, un détendeur, et dont la disposition de ces différents éléments permet un meilleur séchage de chaque élément, tout en évitant que de l'eau ne se répande autour du dispositif. Il serait également avantageux que ce dispositif soit escamotable, de façon à se présenter sous une forme compacte lorsque qu'il n'est pas en utilisation afin d'en faciliter grandement le transport ou le stockage. Enfin, il serait également avantageux que ce dispositif comprenne des moyens pour accélérer le séchage d'au moins une partie des éléments constituant le scaphandre autonome.It is essential in this context to have a device capable of receiving the various elements of a scuba, including at least a diving suit, a mask, flippers, gloves, a stabilizing vest, a weighting and a dry diving bottle, a regulator, and the arrangement of these different elements allows a better drying of each element, while preventing water from spreading around the device. It would also be advantageous for this device to be retractable, so as to be in a compact form when it is not in use in order to greatly facilitate its transport or storage. Finally, it would also be advantageous for this device to include means for accelerating the drying of at least part of the elements constituting the scuba apparatus.

De manière préférentielle, l'ossature inférieure et l'ossature supérieure sont constituées d'un ensemble de montants et d'au moins une traverse, préférentiellement au moins deux traverses. Une telle structure permet au séchoir d'être léger et facilité ainsi son transport.Preferably, the lower frame and the upper frame consist of a set of uprights and at least one cross, preferably at least two sleepers. Such a structure allows the dryer to be light and thus facilitates its transport.

De manière préférentielle, l'ossature supérieure et l'ossature inférieure sont des ossatures creuses. Cette caractéristique permet d'alléger encore plus le séchoir et de faciliter ainsi son transport. De manière complémentaire, l'ossature supérieure et l'ossature inférieure comprennent une pluralité d'orifices de sortie, lesdits orifices de sortie étant disposés au niveau des moyens de suspension, et un orifice d'entrée, de préférence disposé sur l'ossature inférieure. Ces caractéristiques permettent de coupler le séchoir selon l'invention à un système de propulsion d'air. L'air soufflé est introduit au niveau de l'orifice inférieur, et ressort par les orifices de sortie. Ce mode de réalisation permet d'accélérer le séchage des différents éléments suspendus sur les moyens de suspension. De manière toujours préférentielle, le séchoir comprend en outre un moyen pour souffler de l'air, et apte à coopérer avec l'orifice d'entrée.Preferably, the upper frame and the lower frame are hollow frames. This characteristic allows to lighten even more the dryer and thus facilitate its transport. In a complementary manner, the upper frame and the lower frame comprise a plurality of outlet orifices, said outlet orifices being arranged at the level of the suspension means, and an inlet orifice, preferably arranged on the lower frame. . These characteristics make it possible to couple the dryer according to the invention to an air propulsion system. The blown air is introduced at the lower orifice and exits through the outlet openings. This embodiment makes it possible to accelerate the drying of the various elements suspended on the suspension means. In a still preferred manner, the dryer further comprises a means for blowing air, and able to cooperate with the inlet orifice.

Dans une version préférée de l'invention, les deux branches du « V » inversé de l'ossature supérieure sont constituées de deux montants et de deux traverses, les traverses étant télescopiques, et l'ossature supérieure est constituée de deux montants et d'au moins une traverse télescopique. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la plaque articulée et le bac de récupération sont télescopique dans leur largeur respective.In a preferred version of the invention, the two branches of the inverted "V" of the upper frame consist of two uprights and two sleepers, the sleepers being telescopic, and the upper frame consists of two uprights and at least one telescopic cross member. In this embodiment, the hinged plate and the recovery tank are telescopic in their respective widths.

Grâce à ce mode de réalisation, l'encombrement du séchoir peut être réduit en fonction des besoins, que le séchoir soit replié ou déployé.With this embodiment, the size of the dryer can be reduced as needed, whether the dryer is folded or deployed.

Description détaillée de modes de réalisation de l'inventionDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Le séchoir selon l'invention est notamment illustré à la Fig. 1. Le séchoir (1) est pliable, c'est-à-dire que le séchoir (1) peut être dans une position déployée, comme illustré à la Fig. 1, ou dans une position repliée, comme illustré à la Fig. 3. En position repliée, les différents éléments constituant le séchoir (1) sont disposés les uns contre les autres, afin de réduire son encombrement au maximum. Par longueur, il faut comprendre la mesure de la distance entre la base du V inversé et l'arête au sommet (12) du V. Par largueur, il faut comprendre la mesure dans le sens perpendiculaire à la mesure de la longueur.The dryer according to the invention is illustrated in particular in FIG. Fig. 1 . The dryer (1) is foldable, i.e., the dryer (1) can be in an extended position, as shown in FIG. Fig. 1 , or in a folded position, as shown in Fig. 3 . In the folded position, the various elements constituting the dryer (1) are arranged against each other, in order to reduce its bulk to the maximum. By length, it is necessary to understand the measure of the distance between the base of the inverted V and the edge with the vertex (12) of V. By width, it is necessary to understand the measure in the direction perpendicular to the measurement of the length.

Le séchoir (1) est constitué de deux ossatures articulées entre elles : une ossature inférieure (11) et une ossature supérieure (13). L'ossature inférieure (11) est en forme de « V » inversé lorsque le séchoir est en mode déployé. Autrement dit, en position dite déployée, tel qu'illustré à la Fig. 1, les branches du « V » sont écartées l'une de l'autre, et en position repliée, tel qu'illustré à la fig. 2, les branches du « V » sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre pour faciliter le rangement du séchoir. L'ossature inférieure (11) est constituée de deux branches (11 a, 11 b) articulées entre elles au niveau de l'arête du sommet (12) du « V ». Les deux branches (11 a, 11 b) peuvent être articulées entre elles au moyen, par exemple, d'une charnière, voire d'une pluralité de charnière, disposée sur l'arête du sommet du « V ». Ces éléments sont illustrés sur les fig. entourés par des cercles. Des moyens alternatifs peuvent cependant être envisagés, tels qu'un gond ou une articulation en chape. De façon préférentielle, ces moyens d'articulation des deux branches de l'ossature inférieure (11) sont des charnières en matière plastiques de type PVC, ou des pivots à cylindre, de préférence en matière plastique.The dryer (1) consists of two frames hinged together: a lower frame (11) and an upper frame (13). The lower frame (11) is inverted "V" shape when the dryer is in deployed mode. In other words, in the so-called deployed position, as illustrated in Fig. 1 , the branches of the "V" are spaced from each other, and in the folded position, as illustrated in Fig. 2 , the branches of the "V" are close to each other to facilitate the storage of the dryer. The lower frame (11) consists of two branches (11a, 11b) hinged together at the edge of the summit (12) of the "V". The two branches (11a, 11b) can be articulated to each other by means of, for example, a hinge, or even a plurality of hinges, disposed on the edge of the top of the "V". These elements are illustrated in figs. surrounded by circles. Alternative means may however be envisaged, such as a hinge or a clevis joint. Preferably, these means of articulation of the two branches of the lower frame (11) are plastic hinges of the PVC type, or cylinder pivots, preferably made of plastic.

Lorsque le séchoir (1) est en mode replié, tel qu'illustré à la fig. 2, les deux branches (11 a, 11 b) sont disposées l'une contre l'autre. Notons qu'à la Fig. 2, le bac de récupération n'a pas été reproduit pour faciliter la représentation de l'armature (10). L'ossature inférieure (11) peut également être définie comme un chevalet repliable, ou escamotable. Les deux branches (11 a, 11 b) peuvent être des plaques pleines, par exemple en bois, en acier, en aluminium, ou en matière plastique moulée. Cependant, dans une version préférée, et comme illustré à la Fig. 1, les branches (11 a, 11 b) sont chacune constituées d'un assemblage de montants inférieurs (21 a, 21b) et de traverses inférieures (22a, 22b). De façon préférée, les branches comprennent chacune deux montants et deux traverses. De façon avantageuse, une traverse inférieure de chaque branche (11 a, 11 b) est disposée par rapport aux montants (21 a, 21 b) de façon à former des pieds (23a, 23b). Les montants (21 a, 21 b) et les traverses (22a, 22b) peuvent être en plastique moulée, en aluminium, en acier, voire en bois. De manière préférée, les montants (21 a, 21 b) et les traverses (22a, 22b) sont creux, et sont en matière plastique, tel que du poly(chlorure de vinyle) (PVC).When the dryer (1) is in folded mode, as shown in FIG. Fig. 2 the two branches (11a, 11b) are arranged one against the other. Note that Fig. 2 , the recovery tray has not been reproduced to facilitate the representation of the frame (10). The lower frame (11) can also be defined as a folding easel, or retractable. The two branches (11a, 11b) may be solid plates, for example of wood, steel, aluminum, or molded plastics. However, in a preferred version, and as illustrated in Fig. 1 the branches (11a, 11b) each consist of an assembly of lower uprights (21a, 21b) and lower crosspieces (22a, 22b). Preferably, the branches each comprise two uprights and two sleepers. Advantageously, a lower crossmember of each branch (11a, 11b) is arranged relative to the uprights (21a, 21b) so as to form feet (23a, 23b). The uprights (21a, 21b) and the crosspieces (22a, 22b) may be of molded plastic, aluminum, steel, or even wood. Preferably, the uprights (21a, 21b) and crosspieces (22a, 22b) are hollow, and are made of plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

L'ossature supérieure (12) est articulée par rapport à l'ossature inférieure (11) au niveau de l'arête du sommet (12) du « V ». Lorsque le séchoir (1) est déployé, l'ossature supérieure (13) s'étend au-dessus de l'ossature inférieure (11), par exemple dans le prolongement de l'une ou l'autre des branches (11a, 11 b) comme illustré à la Fig. 1 et à la Fig. 3. En position replié, visible sur la Fig. 2, l'ossature supérieure (13) est disposée contre l'une ou l'autre des branches (11 a, 11 b), autrement dit, l'ossature supérieure (13) est rapprochée de l'ossature inférieure (11) pour faciliter le rangement du séchoir (1) et réduire son encombrement, afin qu'il puisse être facilement enveloppé par le bac de récupération (18). L'articulation entre les deux ossatures est disposée au niveau de l'arête du sommet du « V », et cette articulation peut être identique à l'articulation entre les deux branches (11 a, 11 b), à savoir une charnière, voire une pluralité de charnières, disposées sur l'arête du sommet du « V », mais des moyens alternatifs peuvent être envisagés, tels qu'un gond ou une articulation en chape. L'ossature supérieure (13) peut par exemple être une plaque en bois, en acier, en aluminium ou en matière plastique tel que du PVC.The upper frame (12) is articulated with respect to the lower frame (11) at the edge of the top (12) of the "V". When the dryer (1) is deployed, the upper frame (13) extends above the lower frame (11), for example in the extension of one or the other of the branches (11a, 11 b) as shown in Fig. 1 and at the Fig. 3 . In the folded position, visible on the Fig. 2 , the upper frame (13) is arranged against one or the other of the branches (11a, 11b), in other words, the upper frame (13) is brought closer to the lower frame (11) to facilitate storing the dryer (1) and reduce its size, so that it can be easily wrapped by the drip tray (18). The articulation between the two frames is arranged at the edge of the top of the "V", and this articulation can be identical to the articulation between the two branches (11a, 11b), namely a hinge, or a plurality of hinges, disposed on the edge of the top of the "V", but alternative means may be envisaged, such as a hinge or a clevis joint. The upper frame (13) may for example be a wooden plate, steel, aluminum or plastic such as PVC.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'ossature supérieure (13) est constituée d'un assemblage de montants supérieurs (31) et de traverses supérieures (32). De façon préférée, l'ossature supérieure (12) comprend deux montants supérieurs (31) et au moins une traverse supérieure (32). Les montants supérieurs (31) et l'au moins une traverse supérieure (32) peuvent être en plastique moulée, en aluminium, en acier, voire en bois. De manière préférée, les montants supérieurs (31) et l'au moins une traverse supérieure (32) sont creux, et sont en matière plastique, tel que du poly(chlorure de vinyle) (PVC). De façon préférentielle, l'ossature inférieure (11) et l'ossature supérieure (13) ont une longueur identique. Par longueur des ossatures, il faut comprendre la longueur des montants inférieurs (21 a, 21 b) et des montants supérieurs (31). De façon toujours préférentielle, l'ossature inférieure (11) et l'ossature supérieure (12) ont une largeur similaire. Par largeur des ossatures, il faut comprendre la longueur des traverses inférieures (22a, 22b) et de l'au moins une traverse supérieure (32).In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper frame (13) consists of an assembly of upper uprights (31) and upper sleepers (32). Preferably, the upper frame (12) comprises two uprights (31) and at least one upper cross member (32). The upper uprights (31) and the at least one upper cross member (32) may be molded plastic, aluminum, steel or wood. Preferably, the upper uprights (31) and the at least one upper cross member (32) are hollow, and are made of plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Preferably, the lower frame (11) and the upper frame (13) have the same length. By frame length, it is necessary to understand the length of the lower uprights (21 a, 21 b) and the upper uprights (31). In a still preferred manner, the lower frame (11) and the upper frame (12) have a similar width. By width of the frames, it is necessary to understand the length of the lower cross members (22a, 22b) and the at least one upper cross member (32).

Le séchoir (1) comprend également une plaque articulée (19). Cette plaque (19) fait partie de l'ossature inférieure (11). Cette plaque articulée (19) est reliée de façon mobile à l'ossature inférieure (11) de façon à être disposée contre les branches (11 a, 11 b) de l'ossature inférieure (11) lorsque le séchoir est replié, et de façon à être disposée de façon substantiellement parallèle au sol sur lequel le séchoir (1) est déployé. Autrement dit, lorsque le séchoir (1) est déployé, et donc que les le chevalet formant l'ossature inférieur (11) est déplié, la plaque articulée (19) est substantiellement horizontale. Ceci est notamment illustré à la Fig. 1 et à la Fig. 3. Différents moyens sont envisageables pour permettre l'articulation de la plaque (19) par rapport à l'ossature inférieure (11). A titre d'exemple, et comme illustré à la Fig. 1, la plaque peut comprendre à son extrémité une ou plusieurs charnières reliée à une partie inférieure d'une branche (11 a) de l'ossature inférieure (11), tandis que l'autre extrémité de la plaque (19) est reliée par une corde et une poulie à une partie supérieure de l'autre branche (11 b) de l'ossature inférieure (11), de façon à permettre la rotation de la plaque (19) au niveau des charnières, permettant à la plaque (19) d'être disposée contre l'une des branches ou entre les branches et à l'horizontal.The dryer (1) also comprises an articulated plate (19). This plate (19) is part of the lower frame (11). This hinged plate (19) is movably connected to the lower frame (11) so as to be disposed against the legs (11a, 11b) of the lower frame (11) when the dryer is folded, and to be disposed substantially parallel to the floor on which the dryer (1) is deployed. In other words, when the dryer (1) is deployed, and therefore the easel forming the lower frame (11) is unfolded, the hinged plate (19) is substantially horizontal. This is illustrated in particular in Fig. 1 and at the Fig. 3 . Various means are possible to allow the articulation of the plate (19) relative to the lower frame (11). For example, and as illustrated in Fig. 1 , the plate may comprise at its end one or more hinges connected to a lower part of a leg (11a) of the lower frame (11), while the other end of the plate (19) is connected by a rope and pulley at an upper part of the other leg (11b) of the lower frame (11), so as to allow rotation of the plate (19) at the hinges, allowing the plate (19) to be placed against one of the branches or between the branches and horizontally.

La plaque articulée (19) peut être une plaque pleine, ou de préférence une plaque avec des ouvertures traversantes permettant à de l'eau présente sur une surface supérieure de la plaque de s'égoutter. Cette plaque articulée permet de disposer d'une surface plane sur le séchoir afin d'y entreposer les éléments les plus délicats d'un scaphandre autonome qui ne doivent en aucun cas reposer par terre, tel que les éléments mécaniques du mélangeur d'un scaphandre autonome, le respirateur, voire les bouteilles de plongée. Ainsi, ces éléments peuvent sécher sans qu'ils ne soient au contact de la poussière. Dans une version alternative de l'invention, il est possible d'envisager la présence d'une pluralité de plaques articulées afin de disposer d'une plus grande surface de séchage des éléments fragiles d'un scaphandre autonome. La plaque articulée (19) peut par exemple être en bois, en acier, en aluminium, ou de préférence en matière plastique de type PVC. De façon préférentielle, la plaque (19) peut comprendre des rebords afin de réduire le risque de chute des objets disposés sur sa surface supérieure.The hinged plate (19) may be a solid plate, or preferably a plate with through openings allowing water on an upper surface of the plate to drain. This hinged plate allows to have a flat surface on the dryer to store the most delicate elements of a self-contained breathing apparatus that must not rest on the ground, such as the mechanical elements of the mixer of a diving suit autonomous, the respirator, even the diving bottles. Thus, these elements can dry without being in contact with the dust. In an alternative version of the invention, it is possible to envisage the presence of a plurality of articulated plates in order to have a larger surface for drying the fragile elements of a self-contained breathing apparatus. The hinged plate (19) may for example be made of wood, steel, aluminum, or preferably plastic PVC. Preferably, the plate (19) may include flanges to reduce the risk of falling objects disposed on its upper surface.

Le séchoir (1) comprend également un bac de récupération (18). Ce bac de récupération est notamment illustré en détails à la Fig. 4. Par bac de récupération (18), il faut comprendre un élément comprenant au moins un fond et des rebords de façon à récupérer et conserver un liquide s'égouttant à l'intérieur. Un tel bac (18) sera préférentiellement en plastique, comme par exemple du poly(chlorure de vinyle) (PVC), mais d'autre matériaux sont envisageables (acier, aluminium par exemple). De façon préférentielle, le bac de récupération est une boite en forme de parallélépipède rectangle lorsque le bac de récupération est fermé, le bac étant composé de deux parties (181, 182) reliées mobiles en rotation, par exemple via des charnières (184), selon une longueur ou une largeur, de façon à, lorsque le bac (18) est ouvert, les deux parties (181, 182) présentent leur plus grande surface contre le sol, leurs parois s'étendant vers le haut. Ceci est par exemple illustré sur la Fig. 4.The dryer (1) also includes a recovery tank (18). This recovery tank is particularly illustrated in detail at the Fig. 4 . By recovery tank (18), it is to understand an element comprising at least one bottom and flanges so as to recover and retain a liquid drip inside. Such a tray (18) will preferably be plastic, such as poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), but other materials are possible (steel, aluminum for example). Preferably, the recovery tank is a box in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped when the collection tank is closed, the tank being composed of two parts (181, 182) connected mobile in rotation, for example via hinges (184), in a length or width, so that when the tray (18) is open, the two parts (181, 182) have their largest surface against the ground, their walls extending upwards. This is for example illustrated on the Fig. 4 .

Selon un mode de réalisation général de l'invention, le bac de récupération (18) enveloppe l'armature (10) lorsque cette dernière est en mode replié. Le bac de récupération (19) peut par exemple être une boite de forme parallélépipédique rectangle, ou autrement dit un récipient aux parois rigides s'ouvrant en deux parties (181, 182), tel qu'illustré à la fig. 4. Lorsque l'armature (10) doit être déployée, le bac de récupération est ouvert, et l'armature est disposée sur le bac de récupération, de façon à récupérer l'eau s'égouttant des éléments suspendus sur le séchoir.According to a general embodiment of the invention, the recovery tank (18) envelops the armature (10) when the latter is in folded mode. The recovery tank (19) may for example be a parallelepiped shaped box rectangle, or in other words a container with rigid walls opening in two parts (181, 182), as illustrated in FIG. Fig. 4 . When the armature (10) is to be deployed, the recovery tank is open, and the armature is arranged on the recovery tank, so as to recover water dripping from the elements hanging on the dryer.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le bac de récupération (18) est relié de façon articulée à l'ossature inférieure (11). C'est-à-dire que lorsque le séchoir (1) est replié, le bac est disposé contre l'ossature inférieure (11), de façon à réduire au maximum l'encombrement du séchoir (1), et lorsque le séchoir (1) est déployé, le bac de récupération (19) pivote par rapport à l'ossature inférieure de façon à se déployer sous l'ossature inférieure (11), de façon à récupérer l'eau s'égouttant des différents éléments suspendus ou disposés sur le séchoir (1). A titre d'exemple, le bac peut être relié de façon mobile et en rotation à une partie inférieure d'une branche (11 a ou 11 b) de l'ossature inférieure, sur la partie extérieure de la branche (11 a ou 11 b), via des charnières ou des pivots à cylindre disposés au niveau des pieds (23a ou 23b) de l'ossature inférieure (11). De façon plus précise, le bac de récupération (18) peut être relié aux pieds (23a ou 23b) d'une des branches de l'ossature inférieure par un pivot à cylindre. La partie récupératrice du bac est alors orientée vers l'armature du séchoir (1) lorsque ce dernier est replié. Après rotation et dépliement du séchoir, la partie récupératrice du bac est alors orientée vers le haut du séchoir. Bien entendu, des moyens similaires peuvent également être employés.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the recovery tank (18) is hingedly connected to the lower frame (11). That is to say that when the dryer (1) is folded, the tray is arranged against the lower frame (11), so as to minimize the bulk of the dryer (1), and when the dryer ( 1) is deployed, the recovery tank (19) pivots with respect to the lower frame so as to deploy under the lower frame (11), so as to recover the water dripping from the various elements suspended or arranged on the dryer (1). For example, the tray may be movably and rotationally connected to a lower portion of a leg (11a or 11b) of the lower frame, on the outer portion of the leg (11a or 11b). b), via hinges or cylinder pins arranged at the feet (23a or 23b) of the lower frame (11). More specifically, the recovery tank (18) can be connected to the feet (23a or 23b) of one of the branches of the lower frame by a cylinder pivot. The recovery part of the tray is then oriented towards the frame of the dryer (1) when the latter is folded. After rotation and unfolding of the dryer, the recovery part of the tray is then directed towards the top of the dryer. Of course, similar means can also be employed.

Alternativement, un système de déplacement en translation est envisageable pour articuler le bac par rapport à l'ossature inférieure (11). Des rails peuvent être présent sur les côtés du bac, à l'intérieur de la partie récupératrice du bac, et des parties saillantes aptes à coopérer avec les rails peuvent être disposées de part et d'autre d'une branche (11 a ou 11 b) de l'ossature inférieure (11), de préférence à proximité des pieds (23a, 23b). La partie récupératrice du bac est alors orientée vers l'armature du séchoir (1) lorsque ce dernier est replié, et après translation du bac de récupération (19), la partie récupératrice du bac est alors orientée vers le haut su séchoir.Alternatively, a translation displacement system is possible to articulate the tray relative to the lower frame (11). Rails may be present on the sides of the tray, inside the recuperative portion of the tray, and projecting portions adapted to cooperate with the rails may be arranged on either side of a branch (11a or 11b). b) the lower frame (11), preferably close to the feet (23a, 23b). The recovery part of the tank is then directed towards the frame of the dryer (1) when the latter is folded, and after translation of the recovery tank (19), the recovery part of the tank is then directed upward dryer.

Le bac de récupération (19) doit avoir une longueur et une largeur supérieures à celles de l'ossature inférieure et de l'ossature inférieure afin de couvrir l'ensemble du sol se trouvant sous un élément du séchoir une fois le séchoir déployé, et de l'envelopper lorsque l'ensemble est en mode replié. Autrement dit, le bac de récupération (19) a une largeur supérieure à la largeur la plus grande de l'ossature inférieure (11) ou de l'ossature supérieure (12). Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le bac de récupération (19) peut comprendre en outre des roulettes (185), et/ou un poignée (183) afin de faciliter le transport du séchoir lorsque celui-ci est en mode replié.The recovery tank (19) shall be of greater length and width than the lower frame and the lower frame to cover the entire floor under a dryer element once the dryer has been deployed, and to wrap it when the set is in folded mode. In other words, the recovery tank (19) has a width greater than the largest width of the lower frame (11) or the upper frame (12). According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the recovery tank (19) may further comprise wheels (185), and / or a handle (183) to facilitate the transport of the dryer when it is in mode folded.

Le séchoir (1) comprend également une pluralité de moyens de suspension (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e) afin de suspendre différents éléments d'un scaphandre autonome, tels que les gants, les palmes ou chaussons, masque, De façon préférentielle, ces moyens de suspension sont disposés vers l'extérieur de séchoir (1), sur l'ossature inférieure (11) et sur l'ossature supérieure (12), comme illustré aux Fig. 1 et 2. Ces moyens de suspension peuvent être des crochets, des pinces, des tubes s'étendant en s'éloignant de l'armature. Complémentairement, lorsque les ossatures du séchoir sont des moyens creux, les moyens de suspension peuvent également être creux, la lumière des moyens de suspension étant en relation avec la lumière des ossatures sur laquelle le moyen de suspension est relié. Lorsque ces éléments sont creux, des orifices de sortie peuvent être présents au niveau des moyens de suspension, et un orifice d'entrée peut être disposé sur l'ossature supérieure (12) ou préférentiellement sur l'ossature inférieure (11). Ainsi, il est possible de coupler le séchoir (1) selon l'invention à un système de propulsion, ou de soufflage, d'air, afin d'accélérer la sèche des éléments disposé sur les orifices de sortie. A titre d'exemple, un souffleur mécanique relié par un tube à l'orifice de sortie est envisageable. Selon ce mode de réalisation, les ossatures creuses comprennent chacune une lumière continue, afin de permettre le passage de l'air librement à l'intérieur des ossatures.The dryer (1) also comprises a plurality of suspension means (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e) for suspending various elements of a scuba apparatus, such as gloves, flippers or slippers, mask, Preferably these suspension means are arranged towards the outside of the dryer (1), on the lower framework (11) and on the upper framework (12), as illustrated in FIGS. Fig. 1 and 2 . These suspension means may be hooks, clamps, tubes extending away from the frame. Additionally, when the frameworks of the dryer are hollow means, the suspension means may also be hollow, the light of the suspension means being in connection with the light of the frames on which the suspension means is connected. When these elements are hollow, outlet orifices may be present at the suspension means, and an inlet orifice may be disposed on the upper framework (12) or preferably on the lower framework (11). Thus, it is possible to couple the dryer (1) according to the invention to a propulsion system, or blowing air, to accelerate the drying of the elements disposed on the outlet orifices. For example, a mechanical blower connected by a tube to the outlet port is conceivable. According to this embodiment, the hollow frames each comprise a continuous light, to allow the passage of air freely inside the frames.

Selon une version préférée de l'invention, l'ossature inférieure (11), l'ossature supérieure (13), la plaque articulée (19) et le bac de récupération (18) ont une largeur modulable. Ceci permet de réduire encore plus l'encombrement du séchoir (1) lorsque qu'il est replié, mais également lorsqu'il est déployé, par exemple parce lorsque le plongeur n'a pas utilisé l'ensemble des éléments de son scaphandre. A titre d'exemple, les traverses (22a, 22b, 32) peuvent être des éléments télescopiques, par exemple une pluralité de tubes présentant un diamètre différent et s'emboitant en translation de façon à pouvoir augmenter ou réduire la longueur des traverses. La plaque articulée (18) et le bac de récupération (19) peuvent chacun comprendre deux parties mobiles en translation selon leur largeur respective, par exemple une plaque s'emboitant dans une autre plaque, ou deux plaques coulissantes l'une par rapport à l'autre dans leurs largeurs.According to a preferred version of the invention, the lower frame (11), the upper frame (13), the hinged plate (19) and the recovery tank (18) have a modular width. This further reduces the size of the dryer (1) when it is folded, but also when it is deployed, for example because when the diver has not used all the elements of his diving suit. For example, the crosspieces (22a, 22b, 32) may be telescopic elements, for example a plurality of tubes having a different diameter and fitting in translation so as to increase or reduce the length of the sleepers. The hinged plate (18) and the recovery tank (19) may each comprise two parts movable in translation along their respective width, for example a plate fitting into another plate, or two sliding plates relative to one another. other in their widths.

La présente invention a été décrite en relation avec des modes de réalisations spécifiques, qui ont une valeur purement illustrative et ne doivent pas être considérés comme limitatifs. D'une manière générale, il apparaîtra évident pour l'homme du métier que la présente invention n'est pas limités aux exemples illustrés et/ou décrits ci-dessus. La présence de numéros de référence aux dessins ne peut être considérée comme limitative, y compris lorsque ces numéros sont indiqués dans les revendications.
L'usage des verbes « comprendre », « inclure », « comporter », ou toute autre variante, ainsi que leurs conjugaisons, ne peut en aucune façon exclure la présence d'éléments autres que ceux mentionnés.
L'usage de l'article indéfini « un », « une », ou de l'article défini « le », « la » ou « l' », pour introduire un élément n'exclut pas la présence d'une pluralité de ces éléments.The present invention has been described in relation to specific embodiments, which have a purely illustrative value and should not be considered as limiting. In general, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the examples illustrated and / or described above. The presence of reference numbers in the drawings can not be considered as limiting, even when these numbers are indicated in the claims.
The use of the verbs "to understand", "to include", "to include", or any other variant, as well as their conjugations, can in no way exclude the presence of elements other than those mentioned.
The use of the indefinite article "a", "an", or the definite article "the", "the" or "the", to introduce an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of these elements.
