Abstract

The drive for a light boat has a support (1) with clamps (6,12) to the rear of the boat. A rudder (14) is fitted on an arm (7), vertical to the support and a paddle wheel (25) is mounted, loose, on a horizontal shaft on one side of the rudder. A lever (34) tilts on the rudder and carries part of a belt drive (21-23) to the paddle wheel. Various slots (10), holes (15) and bolts (16) give height adjustment for the rudder. The belt drive increases the speed of rotation of the paddle wheel relative to the lever. Rotation in either direction is possible.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de propulsion utilisable pour embarcations légères telles que barques de pêche, et destiné à faciliter la manoeuvre de celle-ci sur des plans d'eau, rivières, etc... The present invention relates to a propulsion device usable for light boats such as fishing boats, and intended to facilitate the maneuver thereof on bodies of water, rivers, etc.

Généralement, les embarcations légères telles que les barques de peches comportent des rames articulées de chaque oté de l'embarcation, rames qui sont lourdes à manoeuvrer, encombrantes et souvent très génantes dans l'embar- cation lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées. De plus, elles nécessitent un effort physique important et ne peuvent pas etre manoeuvrées par des handicapés physiques. Enfin, le rameur tourne le dos au sens d'avancement. Generally, light boats such as fishing boats have articulated oars on each side of the boat, oars which are heavy to maneuver, bulky and often very annoying in the boat when they are not in use. In addition, they require significant physical effort and cannot be operated by the physically handicapped. Finally, the rower turns his back to the direction of travel.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un dispositif de propulsion destiné à remplacer les rames, dispositif très bon marché, pratique, peu encombrant et qui peut être manoeuvré d'une seule main. The object of the present invention is to provide a propulsion device intended to replace the oars, a very inexpensive, practical, space-saving device which can be operated with one hand.

Le dispositif, objet de la présente invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un support pourvu de moyens pour sa fixation à l'arrière de l'embarcation, un gouvernail articulé sur un axe vertical du support, une roue à aubes montée folle sur un axe horizontal sur l'une des faces du gouvernail au voisinage de son extrémité inférieure, et un levier monté basculant sur ledit gouvernail avec interposition d'une commande unidirectionnelle et relié par une liaison cinématique à la roue à aubes. Ainsi, on réalise un dispositif très simple, très bon marché avec lequel on engendre le déplacement de l'embarcation par un simple mouvement de basculement du levier, l'utilisateur étant tourné dans le sens de l'avancement du bateau peut plus facilement diriger ltem- barcation. The device which is the subject of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a support provided with means for fixing it to the rear of the boat, a rudder articulated on a vertical axis of the support, an impeller mounted madly on a horizontal axis on one of the faces of the rudder in the vicinity of its lower end, and a lever mounted rocking on said rudder with interposition of a unidirectional control and connected by a kinematic connection to the impeller. Thus, a very simple, very inexpensive device is produced with which the movement of the boat is generated by a simple tilting movement of the lever, the user being turned in the direction of advancement of the boat can more easily steer ltem - barcation.

Afin que le dispositif puisse s'adapter aux différentes embarcations, il comporte des moyens pour régler la hauteur du gouvernail. So that the device can adapt to different boats, it includes means for adjusting the height of the rudder.

Suivant une caractéristique constructive particulière le dispositif comporte, montée folle au voisinage de l'extré- mité supérieure du gouvernail, une poulie de grand diamètre tandis que la roue à aubes est pourvue d'une poulie de petit diamètre, les deux poulies étant reliées par une courroie. According to a particular constructive characteristic, the device comprises, madly mounted in the vicinity of the upper end of the rudder, a pulley of large diameter while the impeller is provided with a pulley of small diameter, the two pulleys being connected by a belt.

Suivant encore une autre caractéristique constructive, le levier basculant est relié à l'axe de la poulie de grand diamètre
Afin qu'en agissant sur le levier, on puisse commander aussi bien l'avance dans un sens de l'embarcation que l'avance dans le sens opposé, la commande unidirectionnelle est reversible.
According to yet another constructive characteristic, the rocking lever is connected to the axis of the large diameter pulley
So that by acting on the lever, you can control both the advance in one direction of the boat and the advance in the opposite direction, the one-way control is reversible.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
Figure I est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un dispositif selon l'invention,
figure 2 montre en élevation de côté le dispositif monté sur le tableau arrière d'une embarcation.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. I is an exploded perspective view of a device according to the invention,
Figure 2 shows in side elevation the device mounted on the transom of a boat.

Le dispositif représenté aux figures comprend un support 1 formé de deux profilés en L 2 et 3 reliés par des barrettes 4 de manière à ménager un espace libre 5 correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur du bord supérieur d'un tableau arrière lad'une embarcation. L'ure des ailes du profilé 2 comporte des trous taraudés I2 dans lesquels se vissent des vis à oreilles 6. The device shown in the figures comprises a support 1 formed by two L-shaped profiles 2 and 3 connected by bars 4 so as to provide a free space 5 corresponding substantially to the thickness of the upper edge of a transom lad'a boat. The urea of the wings of the profile 2 includes tapped holes I2 into which the thumb screws 6 are screwed.

Le profilé 3 supporte un axe vertical 7 destiné à recevoir un manchon 8 solidaire d'une barette 9 percée d'une ouverture allongée 10. Sur la barrette 9 vient se fixer un gouvernail I4 percé de deux trous lisses 15 destinés à être traversés par des vis 16 traversant l'ouverture 10 et recevant des écrous 17. Grâce à ce montage, on peut règler la hauteur du gouvernail afin que sa partie inférieure soit totalement immergée quelque soit la hauteur du tableau arrière ll de l'embarcation. The profile 3 supports a vertical axis 7 intended to receive a sleeve 8 integral with a bar 9 pierced with an elongated opening 10. On the bar 9 is fixed a rudder I4 pierced with two smooth holes 15 intended to be crossed by screws 16 passing through the opening 10 and receiving nuts 17. Thanks to this assembly, the height of the rudder can be adjusted so that its lower part is completely submerged whatever the height of the transom ll of the boat.

Le gouvernail 14 est percé d'un trou lisse 19 à travers lequel passe une vis 20 vissée dans tin trou taraudé d' une poulie 21, ladite poulie pouvant tourner folle et étant destinée 8 entrainer, par une courroie 22, une poulie de plus petit diamètre 23 solidaire d'une roue à aubes 25. La roue à aubes 25 comprend deux flasques 24 et 26 entre lesquels s'étendent des aubes 27 radiales. Le flasque 24 et la poulie 23 sont percés d'un trou axial à travers lequel passe une vis 28 traversant un trou lisse 29 du gouvernail et recevant un écrou 30. La vis 20 est pourvue d'une partie non filetée au voisinage de sa tête correspondant à la section du trou 19 de manière que, lorsqu'elle est serrée à fond, la poulie 21 puisse tourner librement. The rudder 14 is pierced with a smooth hole 19 through which passes a screw 20 screwed into a tapped hole of a pulley 21, said pulley being able to turn mad and being intended to drive, by a belt 22, a pulley of smaller diameter 23 integral with a paddle wheel 25. The paddle wheel 25 comprises two flanges 24 and 26 between which extend radial blades 27. The flange 24 and the pulley 23 are pierced with an axial hole through which passes a screw 28 passing through a smooth hole 29 of the rudder and receiving a nut 30. The screw 20 is provided with a non-threaded part in the vicinity of its head corresponding to the section of the hole 19 so that, when fully tightened, the pulley 21 can rotate freely.

La vis 28 est pourvue d'un épaulement non fileté correspondant à la section du trou de la poulie 23 et destiné venir buter contre le bord du trou 29 de manière que ladite poulie puisse tourner librement. The screw 28 is provided with a non-threaded shoulder corresponding to the section of the hole of the pulley 23 and intended to abut against the edge of the hole 29 so that said pulley can rotate freely.

La poulie 21 comporte un manchon 31 percé d'un trou borgne 32 de section carroedestiné à recevoir une noix 33 portée par un levier 34. The pulley 21 includes a sleeve 31 pierced with a blind hole 32 of cross section intended to receive a nut 33 carried by a lever 34.

La noix 33 est reliée au levier 34 avec interposition d'un système B.commande unidirectionnelle reversible, par exemple d'une roue libre, de manière que lorsque le levier est déplacé dans un sens, la noix 33 soit entrainée tandis que lorsque levier est déplacé dans l'autre sens, la noix reste fixe. The nut 33 is connected to the lever 34 with the interposition of a system B. reversible unidirectional control, for example of a freewheel, so that when the lever is moved in one direction, the nut 33 is driven while when the lever is moved in the other direction, the nut remains fixed.

Le dispositif selon l'invention se monte facilement sur le tableau arrière d'une embarcation en posant le support à cheval sur ledit tableau et en assurant ia fixation dudit support par le serrage des vis à oreilles 6. L'utilisateur pour faire avancer son embarcation manoeuvre le levier de manière à lui faire décrire un mouvement de va et vient, ledit levier, lorsqu'il est déplacé dans un sens entrainant la poulie 21 qui, par la courroie 22, entraine la poulie 23 et la roue à aubes 25. The device according to the invention is easily mounted on the transom of a boat by placing the support astride said table and ensuring ia fixing of said support by tightening the thumb screws 6. The user to advance his boat maneuvers the lever so as to make it describe a back and forth movement, said lever, when it is moved in a direction driving the pulley 21 which, by the belt 22, drives the pulley 23 and the impeller 25.

Un tel dispositif est simple et permet très facilement de manoeuvrer une embarcation sur un étang, un lac ou une rivière. Such a device is simple and makes it very easy to maneuver a boat on a pond, lake or river.

En inversant le sens de la commande unidirectionnelle on peut également faire déplacer l'embrcation en marche arrière, ce qui peut faciliter certaines manoeuvres. By reversing the direction of the unidirectional control, it is also possible to shift the rear gear, which can facilitate certain maneuvers.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détails sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and shown. Many modifications of details can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
