Abstract

The decorative aerial fountain uses a balloon, such as a gas balloon or a hot air balloon (1), from which the liquid falls. The liquid can be supplied from the ground through a tube (5) or it can be supplied through a tube from a pump in a boat. The liquid falls down cups (3) that are suspended from the balloon by chains. They are unfolded as the balloon rises. The fountain can be illuminated and can be used in conjunction with fire-works, lasers, bubbles, or smoke etc.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet la mise en place de fontaines aériennes à partir d'aéronefs et la réalisation des éléments nécessaires afin d'obtenir le résultat recherche. The present invention relates to the installation of aerial fountains from aircraft and the production of the elements necessary to obtain the desired result.

Par aéronefs, il est entendu aussi bien les aéronefs de toustypes pilotés, télécommandés, libres, etc....que leurs modèles réduits pour toutes applications, utilitaires, culturelles, scientifiques, ludiques, militaires, publicitaires, etc... By aircraft, it is understood as well aircraft of all types piloted, remote controlled, free, etc .... as their reduced models for all applications, utility, cultural, scientific, playful, military, advertising, etc ...

Par aérien, il est entendu le volume d'atmosphère ou d'espace dans lequel baigne la Terre, qu'il soit non limite ou clos par des bâtiments ou des obstacles. By aerial, it is understood the volume of atmosphere or space in which the Earth bathes, whether it is unlimited or closed by buildings or obstacles.

Par fontaines, il est entendu tous dispositifs permettant la chute ou la projection de fluides liquides ou de suspensions liquides, solides, gazeuses, avec differents effets, en particulier de rebondissement, par l'action de la pesanteur ou d'une force extérieure ou intérieure appliquées aux vésicules ou particules de fluide considéré, pression, mise en rotation centrifuge, éjection, évaporation, effet solaire, battage, barbotage, etc... By fountains, it is understood all devices allowing the fall or the projection of liquid fluids or liquid, solid, gaseous suspensions, with different effects, in particular of rebound, by the action of gravity or an external or internal force. applied to the vesicles or particles of the fluid considered, pressure, centrifugal rotation, ejection, evaporation, solar effect, threshing, bubbling, etc.

La présente invention se distingue des réalisations précédentes dans lesqelles le liquide est simplement pulvérisé d'un aéronef pour des applications agricoles ou de lutte contre l'incendie. The present invention differs from previous embodiments in which the liquid is simply sprayed from an aircraft for agricultural or fire-fighting applications.

L'invention comprend essentiellement la mise en place d'une source de fluide liquide à bord d'un aéronef, associé à un dispositif de cascade. The invention essentially comprises the installation of a source of liquid fluid on board an aircraft, associated with a cascade device.

La source peut-être soit embarquée à bord d'un aéronef, soit fournie par un dispositif embarque tel que pompe aspirante ou noria à godets, soit par tous dispositifs amenant le fluide liquide à l'aéronef. Dans ce dernier cas, le poids du dispositif donnant l'énergie necessaire à l'élévation et à la projection du fluide n'est pas supporté par l'aéronef. Le dispositif d'amenee du fluide peut-être un tube ou la projection d'un jet vertical ou incliné de ce fluide, pouvant ou non, assurer la sustentation totale ou partielle de l'aeronef.  The source may be either on board an aircraft, or provided by an on-board device such as a suction pump or noria bucket, or by any device bringing the liquid fluid to the aircraft. In the latter case, the weight of the device providing the energy necessary for raising and projecting the fluid is not supported by the aircraft. The fluid supply device may be a tube or the projection of a vertical or inclined jet of this fluid, which may or may not provide total or partial lift for the aircraft.

Le dispositif de casacades de la fontaine peut-être rigide ou mieux du type à déploiement, permettant soit le déploiement progressif lors du décollage de l'aéronef, soit l'envol de la structure dans un faible encombrement et le déploiement en vol, soit constituer l'aéronef lui-meme.  The cascade device of the fountain may be rigid or better of the deployment type, allowing either the progressive deployment during takeoff of the aircraft, or the flight of the structure in a small footprint and the deployment in flight, or constitute the aircraft itself.

En exemple non limitatif de produits industriels nouveaux, objet de la présente invention, il est décrit ci-apres deux types d'ensembles aéronefsfontaines. As a non-limiting example of new industrial products which are the subject of the present invention, two types of aircraft fountain assemblies are described below.

Dans le virymier exemple (figure 1), l'aéronef est un ballon à air chaud, Mont golfière, piloté, en vol captif retenu au sol par un ou plusieurs câbles (2).In the example virymier (FIG. 1), the aircraft is a hot air balloon, Mont golfière, piloted, in captive flight retained on the ground by one or more cables (2).

La structure de la fontaine est constitué par un ensemble de coupelles (3), supportées par des chaines à la nacelle (4). Ces coupelles étaient encastrées lors du décollage. Elles ont été libérees au fur et a mesure de l'ascension.The structure of the fountain consists of a set of cups (3), supported by chains in the basket (4). These cups were fitted during takeoff. They were released as and when ascended.

L'eau est amenée à la nacelle par une tuyauterie (5), alimentée a partir du sol.The water is brought to the nacelle by a pipe (5), supplied from the ground.

Lors de la mise en service de la fontaine, les coupelles sont soumises au debit et à la pression de la source liquide, aux mouvements de l'aéronef, au soleil ou à toutes sources thermiques ou lumineuses ainsi qu'à tous agents atmosphériques.When the fountain is put into service, the cups are subjected to the flow and pressure of the liquid source, to the movements of the aircraft, to the sun or to any thermal or light sources as well as to all atmospheric agents.

Dans le deuxième exemple, l'aéronef est un ballon a gaz (6), du type surpressé, rempli de gaz hélium, non piloté à bord, relie à un bateau (7) par un câble. In the second example, the aircraft is a gas balloon (6), of the overpressed type, filled with helium gas, not piloted on board, connected to a boat (7) by a cable.

Le ballon est soit immobile, soit mobile, le bâteau tractant la ballon ou le ballon porte par le vent, remorquant le bâteau.The balloon is either stationary or mobile, the boat towing the balloon or the balloon carried by the wind, towing the boat.

L'eau est amenée au niveausuperieur du ballon (9) par un tuyau (8) alimenté à partir d'un groupe moto-pompe placé dans le bâteau. The water is brought to the upper level of the balloon (9) by a pipe (8) supplied from a motor-pump unit placed in the boat.

La structure de la fontaine est constituée par l'hémisphère supérieure du ballon et par des motifs (10) suspendus au filet à l'équateur du ballon. The structure of the fountain is formed by the upper hemisphere of the ball and by patterns (10) suspended from the net at the equator of the ball.

Le nombre, la disposition, les adjonctions, les différentes combinaisons correspondant aux organes décrits ci-dessus peuvent bien entendu être différents de ceux des exemples sans sortir du cadre de la presente invention. The number, the arrangement, the additions, the different combinations corresponding to the organs described above can of course be different from those of the examples without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Ces combinaisons peuvent en particulier comporter des équipements annexes tels que dispositifs d'émission de bulles, fumees, feux d'artifices, rayons lumineux, lasers, hertziens, hologrammes, etc...sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention. These combinations may in particular include ancillary equipment such as devices for emitting bubbles, smoke, fireworks, light rays, lasers, hertzians, holograms, etc. without departing from the scope of the present invention.

L'invention permet ainsi la réalisation de fontaines lumineuses ou non, non liées à un site naturel, ne nécessitant pas de construction-support. The invention thus allows the realization of lighted fountains or not, not linked to a natural site, not requiring construction-support.

Des applications particulièrement intéressantes peuvent être la création de cascades aériennes ou de sculptures aériennes associées à des cascades pour l'animation d'espaces clos ou ouverts.  Particularly interesting applications can be the creation of aerial waterfalls or aerial sculptures associated with waterfalls for the animation of closed or open spaces.
