Abstract

The rudder is made from a frame (5) attached to the boat through pintals and carries the tiller (6). The rudder blade (1) is mounted on a vertical post which extends above the upper bearing and is attached to a hinged bar (3). The bar is hooked at the end and the hook fits in the gudgeon (2) on the frame. If the bar (3) is rotated 180 degrees and then the rudder blade rotated 180 degrees the ring (4) can be hooked onto the back of the bar (3). In this position the rudder blade may be used for propulsion.

Description

L'invention est relative à un propulseur fonctionnant par le moyen digne pale, articulée sur un support et pouvant effectuer des battements du genre queue de poisson. Ce dispositif, principalement destiné à permettre la réalisation d'un nouveau moyen de propulsion de secours pour bateaux, a sur avirons et pagaies l'avantage d'hêtre instantanément utilisable, même par une personne peu expérimentée, et de ne pas occuper de place à bord. I1 sera disponible immédiatement dans les cas critiques; sur un dériveur étale au milieu d'un chenal, par exemple. The invention relates to a propellant operating by means worthy blade, articulated on a support and capable of effecting beats of the fishtail type. This device, mainly intended to allow the realization of a new means of emergency propulsion for boats, has on oars and paddles the advantage of being instantly usable, even by an inexperienced person, and of not occupying space to edge. It will be available immediately in critical cases; on a dinghy spreading out in the middle of a channel, for example.

Une des réalisations remarquable de l'invention consiste à intégrer ce propulseur au gouvernail, ce dernier devenant alors un organe à double fonction. La description qui suit et le dessin annexé se rapportent à cette réalisation qui montre bien les caractéristiques essentielles de l'invention
La figure 1, représente le gouvernail dans sa position norma- le d'organe de direction: le levier 3, est verrouillé en 2, et bloque la pale 1,qui dans cette position fait fonction de safran
La figure 2, représente un propulseur conforme à l'invention et en même temps, le gouvernail selon la réalisation cidessus, dans sa position d'organe propulseur:La pale 1, a été orientée vers ltextérieur par la manoeuvre du levier 3, qui est maintes nant tributaire du système de rappel 4, dont l'élément essentiel est ici un cordon élastique. En cours de fonctionnement,la barre 6, entraine par l'intermédiaire du support 5, la pale 1 dans un mouvement de va et vient. Le système de rappel contre-balance la résistance de liteau et oblige la pale à effectuer ses déplacements selon un angle déterminé assurant la propulsion.One of the remarkable embodiments of the invention consists in integrating this thruster into the rudder, the latter then becoming a dual-function member. The description which follows and the appended drawing relate to this embodiment which clearly shows the essential characteristics of the invention
FIG. 1 shows the rudder in its normal position of the steering member: the lever 3 is locked in 2, and blocks the blade 1, which in this position acts as a rudder
Figure 2 shows a propellant according to the invention and at the same time, the rudder according to the above embodiment, in its position of propellant body: The blade 1, has been oriented inward by the operation of the lever 3, which is many dependent on the recall system 4, the essential element here is an elastic cord. During operation, the bar 6, drives through the support 5, the blade 1 in a back and forth movement. The return system counterbalances the batten resistance and forces the blade to move at a determined angle ensuring propulsion.

Les dispositions consistant à articuler directement la pale sur le safran, d'une façon amovible ou non, ou à la monter sur fixations élastiquesgen remplacement de l'articulation et du raz ppel, constituent des réalisations simplifiées conformes à l'ln vention. Une autre simplification intéressant surtout les petites embarcations consiste à fixer une pale souple sur le support ou sur le safran. The provisions consisting in directly hinging the blade on the rudder, in a removable manner or not, or in mounting it on elastic fasteners, replacing the hinge and the ground, constitute simplified embodiments in accordance with the invention. Another simplification of interest, especially for small boats, is to fix a flexible blade on the support or on the rudder.

Ce dispositif selon l'invention est naturellement susceptible d'être entrainé au moteur et peut etre utilisé dans des installations fixes en vue d'agir sur des fluides quelconques; sa façon de provoquer ou d'accélérer, un écoulement par exemple, peuvent être appréciés dans certains endroits. mal adaptés à l'utilisation de pales rotatives. This device according to the invention is naturally capable of being driven by the engine and can be used in fixed installations with a view to acting on any fluids; its way of causing or accelerating, a flow for example, can be appreciated in certain places. unsuitable for the use of rotary blades.
