Abstract

The invention relates to a float with pedals in which the body of the boarder is half submerged and is located in the position of a cyclist pedalling in the water by virtue of the addition to the floating board 1 of a keel 2 serving to support a saddle 3 and of the propulsion device 6, 7, 8. This floating vehicle would be used for excursions on the water and for water games. It would be transportable on the roof of a car.

Description

La présente invention consiste en un flotteur que l'on chevauche et cui maintient le corps de l'utilisateur à demi-immergé dans l'eau dans le position d'un cycliste, ce cui donne à l'ensemble une grande stabilité et évite le chevirement.The present invention consists of a float that is overlapped and that keeps the body of the user half-immersed in water in the position of a cyclist, this gives the whole great stability and avoids the overlap.

l'invention à pour objet l'adjonction à une planche de
flottaison d'une ouille servant de supDort à le selle
et su dispositif de propulsion ; ainsi l'utilisateur
en position semi-immergé avance au ras de l'eau en
dalant.the subject of the invention is the addition to a board of
buoyancy of an ear used to support the saddle
and the propulsion device; so the user
in the semi-submerged position, advancing close to the water while
dalant.

Ce flotteur est muni pour la propulsion d'un disposi
tif de pédales, manoeuvrant des palmes, avec ressorts de rappel
sur les pédales pour faciliter la manoeuvre; on peut aussi utili
ser une hélice commandée par transmission à partir d'un pédalier
circulaire.This float is equipped for the propulsion of a disposi
tif of pedals, operating fins, with return springs
on the pedals to facilitate maneuvering; we can also use
be a propeller controlled by transmission from a crankset
circular.

Il comporte un siège réglable en hauteur avec cein
ture de sécurité et un guidon commandant un gouvernail de direc
tion, dans le cas de l'hélice propulsive.It has a height adjustable seat with belt
safety ture and a handlebar controlling a rudder of direc
tion, in the case of the propeller.
