Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ship which is equipped with a folding mast, that is to say which is shaped to be folded down at least partially.
  • Its object is more precisely to enable a ship comprising one or more masts exceeding in height an obstacle of given height such as a bridge, high voltage electric wires, etc. to pass under these obstacles by tilting the mast(s) concerned.
  • telescopic masts are known as well as tiltable structures making use of systems of guys and winches on a pivoting mast.
  • the main difficulty in retracting a large mast is related to the mass and the significant forces involved, which means that this maneuver must be entirely mechanized and require only a minimum of preliminary operations (preferably none) to allow the mast to fall back.
  • the mechanism used must be particularly simple, robust, and reliable.
  • a balestron rig comprises a rotating self-supporting mast embedded in bearings integral with the hull, and comprises a horizontal spar integral with the mast and positioned in its lower part, on which are positioned two sails of generally triangular shape, namely a mainsail on the back, the balestron constituting the boom, and a jib at the front tacked on the fore point of the balestron.
  • the present invention generally aims to solve the problems associated with the masts of the state of the art.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a ship comprising a deck and which is equipped with at least one folding mast provided, at the rear thereof, with a boom as well as with a sail, characterized in that said boom is fixed permanently to the lower end of said mast (2), which mast is integral with a base located in said deck, in that this mast and this base are provided with mutual articulation means and in that said boom (3) extends below said mutual articulation means (A), so that said mast is shaped to be moved from a position substantially vertical and perpendicular to said deck in which its lower end is completely engaged in said pedestal, to a position, after positioning said sail in the low folded position and secured to the boom, at least partially tilted in which said lower part of said mast is at least partially out of said pedestal, the tilting direction of the part of the mast which extends above said hinge means being oriented away from said boom.
  • boom means a horizontal spar placed behind the mast and holding the foot of the mainsail or of a gaff or Bermudian sail down (definition from the "Glossary of Sailing and the Sea” available at the following Internet address: http://permanent.cyconflans.free.fr/glossaire/gloss_start.htm
  • the solution according to the invention is based on a rotational movement of a part of the rigging comprising not only the upper part of the mast, but also the boom, around a pivot point which, for information, can be located approximately 10% of the mast length above deck.
  • Mast 2 is generally of elliptical type section (or any other geometric shape), and consists for example of a metal tube such as steel or aluminum. It may also consist of a composite material, for example based on fiberglass or carbon. In other embodiments, this mast can be made of a wood-based material or entirely of wood.
  • this mast is attached to a base referenced 4.
  • This base is for example made of metal and is composed of a lower part 40 allowing it to be secured to the bridge P by through at least one landing, and an upper part which protrudes above the deck.
  • This upper part which rises vertically, has the shape of a sleeve 41.
  • the sleeve is therefore oriented perpendicular to the deck, has a shape complementary to that of the mast 2, and is generally cylindrical. In this way, the lower part 20 of the mast 2 can be engaged inside this sheath.
  • Said at least one bearing preferentially authorizes the rotation of the base 4 through the bridge P, the lower part 40 being able to interest one or more steerage bridges under the bridge P.
  • interest means that the forces generated by the mast (own or developed by the sail) are transmitted to several decks of the ship (namely not only the aforementioned deck P, but also one or more lower decks) by means of this lower part 40, itself connected to the different bridges via bearings.
  • the mast 2 has the particularity of having a boom 3 which is fixed permanently at its lower end, as shown more particularly by the figure 7 And 8 .
  • an appendix 33 Opposite the boom 3 and in the extension of the end 310 is an appendix 33 in the form of a point, the function of which will also be explained later.
  • the sheath 41 of the base 4 naturally has an opening for the passage of the mast in the vertical position.
  • first notch 42 in the direction perpendicular to the bridge P which opens upwards, for the passage of the lower part of the mast when the tilting of the latter is caused.
  • a second notch 43 which has the shape of a semicircle and whose depth, that is to say the distance which separates its lowest point at the upper opening of the sheath, is significantly less than the depth of the first notch 42.
  • first and second notches 42 and 43 which are diametrically opposed, separate two lugs 44 and 45 which of course face each other.
  • cutouts 440 and 450 which open upwards and which accommodate an axis A which not only crosses them but also crosses the lower part 320 of the mast.
  • This axis therefore constitutes a hinge axis for the assembly formed by the mast 2 and its associated boom 3.
  • a spar 5 which extends generally parallel to the bridge P and which is fixed to the wall of the sleeve 41 of the base 4.
  • this spar is hollow.
  • this reel ensures automatic tensioning of the cable, whatever the position of the mast.
  • This cylinder for example of the electric or hydraulic type, comprises a body 60 whose positioning is ensured by a guide 62 and whose rod 61 is directed towards the sheath of the base 4. The free end of this rod 61 is fixed to the end of the appendage 33 which was mentioned above.
  • This cylinder The function of this cylinder is to ensure the pivoting of the mast, when desired.
  • this jack can advantageously be replaced by a motor associated for example with a toothed wheel drive system or another type of rack.
  • the mast 2 When it is in a vertical position, which corresponds to the position of the figure 1 , the mast 2 is locked by a bearing, not shown (and housed inside the base 4, in its upper part 41) which is moved by a mechanical system of the jack or other type.
  • Cylinder 6 of the figure 10 is itself in its inactive position in which its body 60 and its rod 61 are fully housed inside the spar 5.
  • this cylinder 6 When it is desired to tilt the mast, the actuation of this cylinder 6 is controlled. it delivers is sized at 250 bars.
  • the lower part 20 of the mast and the associated boom pass through the notch 42, the shape of which is of course adapted accordingly.
  • the lower part of the mast rests at least partially on the edge of the second notch 43 that comprises the sheath 41 of the base 4.
  • the structure according to the invention it is not necessary to remove the sail or the boom in order to be able to tilt the mast. Furthermore, a kind of pendulum is created in which the weight of the upper part of the mast, that is to say that which rises above the axis A, is at least partially compensated by the weight of the lower part of the mast, but also of the boom and the sail.
  • the efforts to maneuver the mast are considerably reduced.
  • the rear part of the balestron, and possibly the entire balestron can pivot with the upper part of the mast.
  • the actuator for pivoting the mast is located at the level of the balestron and therefore completely accessible for maintenance or in the event of damage.
  • the balestron 5 is integral with the mast 2 as well as the boom 3, so that, when the tilting of the mast is operated, not only the boom 3 follows this tilting but also the 'spar 5.
  • the sheath 41 of the base 4 has not only the notches 42 and 43 mentioned above but also a wide opening 44 which is located at the foot of the base 4, so as to allow the passage of the spar 5 during the tilting movement.
