PERFECTIONNEMENT AUX DISPOSITIFS DE PROPULSION
DE BA.TEAUX-PEDAlOS 'La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement aux dispositifs de propulsion de pédalos faisant l'objet du brevet principal n 2 277 721.IMPROVEMENT IN PROPULSION DEVICES
DE BA.TEAUX-PEDAlOS 'The present invention relates to an improvement to pedal boat propulsion devices which are the subject of main patent no. 2 277 721.
Dans le brevet principal, on a décrit un dispositif propulsif, amovible permettant d'équiper diverses embarcations légeres, de types et de capacités différents, pour les transformer à volonté, et de façon réversi ble, en bateau-pddalo, sans alterer leur destination d'oriaine. Le dispositif de propulsion comporte un vilebrequin muni d'une pluralité de pédales qui permet aux passagers de pédaler séparénent ou ensemble. Le vilebrequin tourne dans deux bagues ou coussinets prenant appui sur les rebords du bateau. A chaque extrémité du vilebrequin est fixée une bague niétallique amovible nunie de pales qui assurent, de façon connue, la propulsion de l'embarcation.In the main patent, a propellant, removable device has been described which makes it possible to equip various light boats, of different types and capacities, to transform them at will, and reversibly, into a paddle boat, without altering their destination. 'oriaine. The propulsion device comprises a crankshaft provided with a plurality of pedals which allows the passengers to pedal separately or together. The crankshaft rotates in two rings or bearings bearing on the edges of the boat. At each end of the crankshaft is attached a removable nietallic ring provided with blades which ensure, in known manner, the propulsion of the boat.
Une banquette amovible, réglable, ayant de préférence une largeur égale à la largeur extérieure de l'embarcation, est placée a distance convenable du vilebrequin, eL, manie d'un dossier -inclinable, permet aux passagers de pédaler avec le maximum de confort.A removable, adjustable seat, preferably having a width equal to the outside width of the boat, is placed at a suitable distance from the crankshaft, eL, handles a reclining backrest, allows passengers to pedal with maximum comfort.
Dans le but dc compenser les efforts d'arrachement exercé sur les paliera lors de la misse en rotation des pales, on réalise une liaison, par chainette, entre le dossier du siège-banquette et de la zone de fixation des paliers.In order to compensate for the tearing forces exerted on the bearings during the rotation of the blades, a connection is made, by chain, between the back of the bench seat and the bearing fixing area.
L'objet de la présente invention est de permettre la propulsion de l'em barcation, munie du dispositif amovible, soit au moyen de la force musculaire d'un ou plusieurs passagers, soit au moyen d'un moteur auxiliaire, soit par les deux moyens combinés, la propulsion étant assurée par des pales, ou par une hélice pour des plans d'eau ne colportant pas trop de végétation aquatique. The object of the present invention is to allow the propulsion of the boat, provided with the removable device, either by means of the muscular force of one or more passengers, or by means of an auxiliary motor, or by both. combined means, the propulsion being provided by blades, or by a propeller for bodies of water not peddling too much aquatic vegetation.
La figure 1 représente schématiquement la mise en oeuvre de l'invention avec une propulsion du type "roue a pales" et la figure 7, avec un propulseur à hélices. FIG. 1 schematically represents the implementation of the invention with a propulsion of the "paddle wheel" type and FIG. 7, with a propeller with propellers.
L'embarcation (1) reçoit un cadre rigide (2) muni de tétons (3) qui s'emboîtent sur les supports de dame de nage fixés sur I'embarcation, ce qui permet de mettre en place ou d'enlever le cadre de façon instantanée. Sur le cadre (2) est fixé un moteur (4) muni, de préférence, d'une boîte de démultiplication, de tout type connu, pernettant de ramener la vitesse de rotation de l'arbre de transmission (5) à une valeur compatible avec les propulseurs (roue à aubes ou hélice). La liaison entre l'arbre de transmission (5) et l'hélice (6) est effectuée au moyen d'un embrayage (7) de type connu et, éventuellement, d'une boîte surmultipliée (8).La liaison entre l'arbre de transmission (5) et le pronul- seur à pales (9) est assurée, par exemple, par deux pignons (10) et (10') qui peuvent être en prise directe (comme sur la finlre 1) ou reliés par une chaîne et que l'on peut également embrayer ou débrayer par tout dispositif connu (embrayage, crabotage). Le vilebrequin (11) est muni, à une de ses extrémités, d'un moyen de liaison (12) avec l'extrémi- té de l'arbre (5), de façon que l'effet de propulsion fourni par le ou les passagers puisse éventuellement stajouter à la force du moteur et, le cas échéant, sty substituer totalement.Le moyen de liaison (12) peut etre une chaîne cooperant avec des pignons (14)(15), une courroie lisse ou crantée, ou tout autre moyen équivalentO
Le vilebrequin (11) est runi d'une pluralité de pédales (133 permettant à un ou plusieurs passagers de pédaler simultanément. Le vilebrequin s'appuie sur deux paliers (16) fixés sur le rebord de l'embarcation.La partie supérieure du dossier inclinable (17) de la banquette (18) est reliée aux points de fation des paliers (16) sui- le rebord de l'embarcation au moyen de chaînettes (19), de façon à compenser l'effort d'arrachement des paliers, comme cela a été expliqué dans le brevet principal, tout en permettant un réglage précis et rapide de la banquette et du dossier.The boat (1) receives a rigid frame (2) provided with nipples (3) which fit onto the towers' supports fixed on the boat, which makes it possible to set up or remove the frame. instantly. On the frame (2) is fixed a motor (4) fitted, preferably, with a reduction gearbox, of any known type, allowing the speed of rotation of the transmission shaft (5) to be reduced to a compatible value with the thrusters (impeller or propeller). The connection between the drive shaft (5) and the propeller (6) is effected by means of a clutch (7) of known type and, optionally, an overdrive gearbox (8). transmission shaft (5) and the paddle-wheel pronulator (9) is ensured, for example, by two pinions (10) and (10 ') which can be directly engaged (as in finlre 1) or connected by a chain and which can also be engaged or disengaged by any known device (clutch, dog clutch). The crankshaft (11) is provided, at one of its ends, with a connecting means (12) with the end of the shaft (5), so that the propelling effect provided by the one or more passengers could possibly add to the force of the engine and, if necessary, sty completely replace it. The connecting means (12) can be a chain cooperating with sprockets (14) (15), a smooth or toothed belt, or any other equivalent means O
The crankshaft (11) is provided with a plurality of pedals (133 allowing one or more passengers to pedal simultaneously. The crankshaft rests on two bearings (16) fixed on the edge of the boat. The upper part of the backrest tilting (17) of the bench (18) is connected to the landing points of the bearings (16) on the edge of the boat by means of chains (19), so as to compensate for the force of tearing off the bearings, as explained in the main patent, while allowing precise and rapid adjustment of the seat and backrest.
Ce siège peut coulisser à l'aide de patins (20) sur les deux petits couloirs (21) fixés sur les bords supérieurs de l'embarcation, ou même directement sur les bords suPérieurs si le modèle s'y prête.This seat can slide using skids (20) on the two small corridors (21) fixed on the upper edges of the boat, or even directly on the upper edges if the model is suitable.
On peut ainsi assurer la propulsion de l'embarcation par les pales ou par lthélice, soit à l'aide du moteur seul, en embrayant l'embrayage (7) et en débrayant la liaison entre les pignons (15) et (14), soit à l'aide du moteur et de la force musculaire d'au moins un passager pédalant sur le vilebrequin (11) en embrayant tout l'ensemble, soit au moyen de la seule force musculaire d'au moins un passager pédalant sur le vilebre- quin (11) en débrayant seulement (7).It is thus possible to propel the boat by the blades or by the propeller, either using the engine alone, by engaging the clutch (7) and by disengaging the connection between the pinions (15) and (14), either using the engine and the muscular force of at least one passenger pedaling on the crankshaft (11) by engaging the whole assembly, or by means of the muscular force alone of at least one passenger pedaling on the crankshaft - quin (11) by disengaging only (7).
Il est également possible de réaliser la liaison entre le vilebrequin et l'axe entraînant l'hélice ou les pales par un dispositif connu du type "dent de loup" ou "roue libre". Le pignon (14) par exemple peut être du type "d roue libre". Dans ce cas, il n'est évidemment pas possible d'obtenir la marche arrière en pédalant à l'envers, ce qui peut présenter des inconvénients.It is also possible to make the connection between the crankshaft and the axis driving the propeller or the blades by a known device of the "wolf tooth" or "freewheel" type. The pinion (14) for example can be of the "freewheel" type. In this case, it is obviously not possible to obtain reverse gear by pedaling backwards, which can have drawbacks.
Le couplage entre la force musculaire et la force du moteur nta pas pour but d'augmenter la vitesse, nais il permet d'aider le moteur par grand vent de face ou pour remonter le courant d'une rivière. On évite ainsi l'utilisation d'un moteur surpuissant pour parer à tous les cas. Un moteur thermique de faible cylindrée, ou un moteur électrique, peu bru yant et non'polluant, alimenté par des batteries ou, le cas échéant, par des cellules photovoltaîques, avec batteries-tappon peuvent être utilisées.The coupling between the muscular force and the force of the engine was not intended to increase the speed, but it makes it possible to help the engine in strong headwinds or to go up the current of a river. This avoids the use of an overpowered motor to deal with all cases. A low-displacement heat engine, or an electric motor, low noise and non-polluting, powered by batteries or, where appropriate, by photovoltaic cells, with tappon batteries can be used.
Ce couplage force musculaire-force du moteur permet, en outre, de faire al exercice sportif en dosant l'effort au gré de chacun.This muscular force-motor force coupling also makes it possible to do sport exercise by adjusting the effort at the discretion of each.
EXEMPLE DE REALISATION. EXAMPLE OF IMPLEMENTATION.
On a utilisé une embarcation classique du commerce, prévue pour transporter trois personnes, réalisée en stratifié, tissu de verre-polyester, que l'on a munie d'un moteur thermique de 50 cm3 de cylindrée, de type classique, tournant à 8000 tours/minute et d'une boîte réductrice de 1/50, avec, en outre, une réduction de 1/2 au niveau de liaison pour la propulsion par pales et une surrultiplication dans le cas de la propulsion par hélice, l'ensemble formant un dispositif amovible, que l'on peut mettre en place et retirer quasi-instantanément.We used a classic commercial boat, designed to transport three people, made of laminate, glass-polyester fabric, which was fitted with a 50 cc cubic engine, of the classic type, rotating at 8000 revolutions. / minute and a reduction box of 1/50, with, in addition, a reduction of 1/2 at the level of connection for propulsion by blades and an overdrive in the case of propulsion by propeller, the whole forming a removable device, which can be set up and removed almost instantly.
En eau calme, et en l'absence de vent, on a obtenu une vitesse d'environ 10 km/heure. In calm water, and in the absence of wind, we obtained a speed of about 10 km / hour.
