Abstract

The invention relates to a method for fighting forest fires by spraying dust, sand, and gravel picked up at the site. A vehicle 1 is equipped at the front with brush-clearing discs 2 as well as with harrows 3 for clearing and scraping the ground. Following this a belt sieve 6 filters the scraped material, which is gathered by an aspirator 5. The extinguishing granular material passes via the sleeve 7 then is taken up by a fan coupled to an auxiliary motor 11 which delivers it under pressure onto the fire by means of the gun nozzle 8 or the hand nozzle 9. All the controls are centralised in the cab 10. This method according to the invention is intended for all services for protecting against and fighting forest, wood, coppice, steppe or bushland fires.

Description

La présente invention concerne un moyen de lutte centre les
Incendies de forêts.
The present invention relates to a means of combating the
Forest fires.

Les moyens de combat contre les incendies de forêts se limittent soit à noyer le feu avec de l'eau, soit à rabattre les flammes à l'aide d'objets tels: les tape-feu, les branches d' arbres, les pelles etc.. The means of fighting against forest fires are limited either to drowning the fire with water, or to suppressing the flames using objects such as: fire flames, tree branches, shovels, etc. ..

L'eau est très efficace, toutefois l'approvisionnement des moto-pompes est très souvent impossible, soit que les engins ravitailleurs lourds ne puissent accéder aux lieux du sinistre soit que les camions-pompe ne puissent se rapprocher de l'incendie.Seuls les avions écopeurs permettent de lutter, mais encore faut-il qu'ils aient un plan d'eau convenable assez proche pour assurer leur remplissage et une rotation rapide. Water is very efficient, however the supply of motor-driven pumps is very often impossible, either because heavy refueling machines cannot access the scene of the disaster or because the pump-trucks cannot get closer to the fire. scoop planes allow to fight, but still they must have a suitable water level close enough to ensure their filling and rapid rotation.

Quant-aux tape-feu et autres procédés du même genre, ce système nécessite une participation humaine très importante, non dépourvue de risques. As for firebreaks and other similar methods, this system requires a very large human participation, not without risks.

Le procédé objet de l'invention consiste en l'emploi d'un matériau d'extinction récupéré sur les lieux-mêmes c'est-àdire dans la forêt. Le procédé se décompose en deux temps
10- Récupération de la surface sèche du sol se composant de poussières, sables, terre, après grattage superficiel,puis par aspiration au travers d'un tamis, procéder à
20- L'extinction par ventilation et projection de tout ce granulat sur le foyer.
The process which is the subject of the invention consists in using an extinguishing material recovered on the premises itself, that is to say in the forest. The process breaks down into two stages
10- Recovery of the dry surface of the soil consisting of dust, sand, earth, after surface scraping, then by suction through a sieve, proceed to
20- The extinction by ventilation and projection of all this aggregate on the hearth.

L'extinction du feu est obtenue par la ventilation qui rabat les flammes au sol tandisqu'un jet de poussière-sablesterre sèche vient les étouffer par manque d'oxygène, ainsi que par l'impact des grains qui composent le jet. The extinction of the fire is obtained by the ventilation which lowers the flames on the ground while a jet of dry sand-dust comes to suffocate them for lack of oxygen, as well as by the impact of the grains which compose the jet.

A titre d'exemple un dispositif selon la présente invention peut être réalisé de la façon suivante: Sur un véhicule tousterrains est monté un équipement spécial comprenant
A l'avant des disques de debroussaillage type " LACROIX (brevet) Fig.l (2) en nombre suffisant de manière à opérer une tranchée dans la végétation, d'une largeur supérieure à celle du véhicule, sous lequel deux herses circulaires Fig.1 (3) disposées à plat sont mises en rotation en sens opposés.
By way of example, a device according to the present invention can be produced in the following manner: On an all-terrain vehicle is mounted special equipment comprising
At the front of the LACROIX type brushcutting discs (patent) Fig.l (2) in sufficient number to operate a trench in the vegetation, of a width greater than that of the vehicle, under which two circular harrows Fig. 1 (3) arranged flat are rotated in opposite directions.

Les rangées de dents extérieures jouent le rôle de nettoyeurs elles évacuent les brindilles de bois mort ou coupées par les disques de débroussaillage en les rejetant latèralement.Les rangées concentriques grattent le sol sous quelques centimètres de profondeur. Cette opération permet d'ameublir le sol et de dégager la poussière, les sables et graviers.The rows of outer teeth act as cleaners; they evacuate twigs of dead wood or cut by brushcutting discs by rejecting them laterally. The concentric rows scrape the ground a few centimeters deep. This operation loosens the soil and releases dust, sand and gravel.

A l'arrière de ces deux herses, toujours sous le véhicule, est situé un tapis-filtrant en forme de courroie Fig 1 (6) ce tapis tourne lentement de manière à tamiser le granulat. At the rear of these two harrows, still under the vehicle, is a belt-shaped filter mat Fig 1 (6) this belt rotates slowly so as to sift the aggregate.

A l'lntérieur de ce tapis-filtre se trouve un suceur de même largeur qui permet d'aspirer au travers des mailles du tapis Fig 1 (5) Ce suceur est relié au travers du plancher du véhicule côté arrière Fig 1 (7) à un aspirateur puissant en traité par un moteur auxiliaire Fig 1 (il). Cet aspirateur se prolonge côté refoulement par un tuyau de gros diamètre terminé par une lance-canon Fig 1 (8) montée sur tourelle et articulée dans le plan vertical. Une lance à main est disponible
Fig 1 (9).Le dispositif est complété par une cabine à air conditionné Fig 1 (10)dans laquelle les manoeuvres sont cen oralisées : Mise en marche du moteur auxiliaire (11) et de sa centrale hydraulique, des disques de débroussaillage (2) des herses (3) de l"aspirateur-refouleur (5-11) du tapis-filtre(6) de l'orientation en site et azimut de la lance-canon (8)
A noter que les manchons Fig 1 (4) & (7) permettent la remontée des herses et du tapis-filtre,ainsi que la surélévation des disques de debroussaillage pour permettre une circulation rapide sur route.
Inside this filter mat is a squeegee of the same width which allows suction through the mesh of the mat Fig 1 (5) This squeegee is connected through the floor of the vehicle rear side Fig 1 (7) to a powerful vacuum cleaner treated by an auxiliary motor Fig 1 (il). This vacuum cleaner is extended on the discharge side by a large diameter pipe terminated by a Fig 1 (8) cannon launcher mounted on a turret and articulated in the vertical plane. A hand lance is available
Fig 1 (9) .The device is completed by an air-conditioned cabin Fig 1 (10) in which the maneuvers are centralized: Starting the auxiliary engine (11) and its hydraulic power unit, brushcutting discs (2 ) harrows (3) of the vacuum cleaner-repressor (5-11) of the filter mat (6) of the elevation orientation and azimuth of the cannon launcher (8)
Note that the sleeves Fig 1 (4) & (7) allow the lifting of the harrows and the filter mat, as well as the raising of the brush discs to allow rapid movement on the road.

Deux à trois hommes pourraient former l'équipage nécessaire à un tel véhicule. Two to three men could train the crew necessary for such a vehicle.

A titre de second exemple, en application du même procédé il est possible de remplacer le seau-pompe destiné à réduire les petits foyers subsistants, ou simplement les feux couvant dans les souches ou racines. As a second example, in application of the same process, it is possible to replace the bucket-pump intended to reduce the small remaining foci, or simply the smoldering fires in the stumps or roots.

Un bâti formé de deux cercles reliés entre-eux Fig 2 (17) renferme en sa partie supérieure, un petit moteur genre minitronçonneuse Fig 2 (12) qui par ddmultiplication entrain une mini-herse composée de quelques dents Fig 2 (13) tournant dans un carter Fig 2 14).Sur le moteur est fixé un aspirateur-ventilateur Fig 2 (ils) toujours entratné par le moteur (12). A la sortie, le ventilateur est prolongé par un tuyau de deux mètres qui se termine par une petite lance Fig 2 (16)
Le sol venant d'outre calciné et nettoyé par l'incendie se trouve être poudreux. La herse en tournant va gratter la surface et dégager de la poussière que l'aspirateur va récupérer et envoyer sous pression dans la lance.Comme dans le véhicule du premier exemple, la poussière et le sable fin vont étouffer les braises et éteinre toute présence de foyer. Le seau-pompe sera ainsi remplacé par un outil toujours prêt à l'emploi, en n'importe quel lieu, et surtout sans eau.
A frame formed by two circles connected to each other Fig 2 (17) contains in its upper part, a small motor like mini-chainsaw Fig 2 (12) which by multiplication leads to a mini-harrow composed of a few teeth Fig 2 (13) turning in a casing Fig 2 14). On the motor is attached a vacuum cleaner fan Fig 2 (they) always driven by the motor (12). At the outlet, the fan is extended by a two-meter hose which ends in a small lance Fig 2 (16)
The ground coming from beyond calcined and cleaned by the fire is found to be powdery. The turning harrow will scratch the surface and give off dust which the vacuum cleaner will collect and send under pressure into the lance. As in the vehicle of the first example, dust and fine sand will smother the embers and extinguish any presence of foyer. The bucket-pump will thus be replaced by a tool always ready for use, in any place, and above all without water.

Deux sangles permettront un transport à dos d'homme. Two straps will allow transport on a man's back.

Le procédé développe est utilisable contre tous les incendies de X Forêts, Bois, Taillis, Stupres, Broussailles survenant loin des points d'eau.The developed process can be used against all fires in X Forests, Woods, Taillis, Stupres, Broussailles occurring far from water points.

Les dispositifs selon l'invention sont particulièrement destins à l'équipement des Régiments de Sapeurs-Pompiers, aux Services de la Protection Civile, ainsi qu'aux Services Départementaux et Municipaux ayant.des Régions boisées à protéger. Ce même matériel est dgalement exportable dans toutes les parties du Monde.  The devices according to the invention are particularly intended for equipping the firefighters' regiments, the civil protection services, as well as the departmental and municipal services having forested regions to protect. This same material is also exportable to all parts of the World.
