Abstract

The subject of the present invention is a device and a method for painting submerged surfaces. It is constituted by the combination of an applicator element (2) which is porous, flexible and permeable to the paint, and which receives water-polymerisable paint under pressure via a dispenser-distributor (1), the said porous element being surrounded by a sealing ring (3) between the dispenser-distributor and the surface to be painted, preventing water from coming into contact with the paint. It is intended for the application of paint or of a coating, in particular on the hulls of boats, but also on any submerged surface, such as quays, oil-production platform infrastructures or the like, and this is so both in fresh water and in salt water, or even in another liquid which does not destroy the paint or the coating.

Description

DISPOSITIF ET PROCEDE POUR LA PEINTURE DE
SURFACES IMMERGEES
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif et un procédé pour la peinture de surfaces immergées.DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PAINTING
UNDERWATER SURFACES
The present invention relates to a device and a method for painting immersed surfaces.

Il est destiné à l'application de peinture ou d'enduit en particulier sur les coques de bateaux, mais également sur toutes surfaces immergées, telles que quais, infrastructures de plates-formes pétrolières ou autres, et cela aussi bien en eau douce qu'en eau salée, ou même dans un autre liquide ne détruisant pas la peinture ou l'enduit.  It is intended for the application of paint or coating in particular on the hulls of boats, but also on all submerged surfaces, such as quays, infrastructures of oil platforms or others, and that as well in fresh water as in salt water, or even in another liquid that does not destroy the paint or coating.

Jusqu'à ce jour, l'application de peinture subaquatique est effectuée le plus souvent à l'aide d'appareils complexes et coûteux comportant une série de brosses rotatives montées sur un châssis muni de systèmes d'adhérence à aspiration d'eau. To date, the application of underwater paint has most often been carried out using complex and expensive devices comprising a series of rotary brushes mounted on a frame provided with adhesion systems with water suction.

Ces appareils, outre leur prix élevé, présentent l'inconvénient de provoquer une émulsion partielle entre l'eau et la peinture compromettant fortement l'adhérence de cette dernière. Pour des travaux peu importants, il est également utilisé des rouleaux applicateurs similaires à ceux utilisés couramment dans le secteur du batiment pour la peinture des murs ou plafonds, mais alimentés en peinture sous pression. Ce procédé entraîne un gaspillage considérable de peinture, sans assurer pour autant un résultat satisfaisant.These devices, in addition to their high price, have the drawback of causing a partial emulsion between water and paint, greatly compromising the adhesion of the latter. For minor jobs, it is also used applicator rollers similar to those commonly used in the building sector for painting walls or ceilings, but supplied with pressure paint. This process results in a considerable waste of paint, without ensuring a satisfactory result.

Le dispositif suivant la présente invention supprime tous ces inconvénients. En effet, il permet d'obtenir, avec un matériel peu onéreux, une application de peinture sans aucun gaspillage et surtout évite totalement le risque d'émulsion. The device according to the present invention eliminates all these drawbacks. Indeed, it makes it possible to obtain, with inexpensive material, a paint application without any waste and above all completely avoids the risk of emulsion.

Il est constitué par la combinaison d'un élément applicateur poreux et souple, perméable à la peinture, recevant de la peinture polymérisable sous l'eau sous pression par l'inter- médiaire d'un diffuseur-répartiteur, ledit élément poreux étant entouré d ' un anneau d ' étanchéité entre le diffuseur-répartiteur et la surface à peindre empêchant l'eau d' entrer en contact avec la peinture. It is constituted by the combination of a porous and flexible applicator element, permeable to paint, receiving paint that can be polymerized under water under pressure by means of a diffuser-distributor, said porous element being surrounded by 'a sealing ring between the diffuser-distributor and the surface to be painted preventing water from coming into contact with the paint.

Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif, d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention
La figure 1 représente le dispositif vu en perspective.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example, of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
Figure 1 shows the device seen in perspective.

La figure 2 est, à une échelle différente, une coupe suivant les flèches A-A de la figure 1. FIG. 2 is, on a different scale, a section along the arrows A-A of FIG. 1.

Le dispositif, figures 1 et 2, est constitué d'un élément applicateur 2 perméable à la peinture, entouré d'un anneau d'étanchéité 3 et surmonté d'un diffuseur-répartiteur 1 alimenté en peinture sous pression par un conduit souple 4. The device, FIGS. 1 and 2, consists of an applicator element 2 permeable to paint, surrounded by a sealing ring 3 and surmounted by a diffuser-distributor 1 supplied with paint under pressure by a flexible conduit 4.

L'élément applicateur 2 est de préférence un bloc de mousse synthétique à alvéoles ouvertes, de structure similaire à celle d'une éponge, mais peut consister en une brosse de poils ou être réalisée en tissu ou tout autre matériau perméable. Le choix du matériau utilisé pour fabriquer l'applicateur permet de déterminer l'état de surface obtenu. The applicator element 2 is preferably a block of synthetic foam with open cells, of structure similar to that of a sponge, but may consist of a bristle brush or be made of fabric or any other permeable material. The choice of material used to manufacture the applicator makes it possible to determine the surface condition obtained.

Le diffuseur-répartiteur 1 forme un réservoir 5 ayant une surface perforée en contact avec l'élément applicateur 2. The diffuser-distributor 1 forms a reservoir 5 having a perforated surface in contact with the applicator element 2.

I1 peut être rigide, semi-rigide ou même souple, et revêtir n'importe quelle forme. I1 peut par exemple avoir la forme d'une main et comporter une sangle ou une moufle permettant sa fixation sur la main de l'opérateur. La peinture sous pression arrive suivant la flèche B par le conduit 4 et est distribuée uniformément et régulièrement dans l'élément applicateur 2 grâce aux trous 6 répartis sur toute la surface perforée.  It can be rigid, semi-rigid or even flexible, and take any shape. I1 can for example have the shape of a hand and include a strap or a muffle allowing its fixing on the hand of the operator. The pressure paint arrives along the arrow B through the conduit 4 and is distributed uniformly and regularly in the applicator element 2 through the holes 6 distributed over the entire perforated surface.

L ' anneau d ' étanchéité 3 est un revêtement extérieur ayant la forme d'une bande entourant entièrement l'élément applicateur 2 et réalisé de préférence en élastomère ou en caoutchouc. The sealing ring 3 is an outer covering in the form of a strip entirely surrounding the applicator element 2 and preferably made of elastomer or rubber.

Il est situé entre le diffuseur 1 et la surface à peindre, obligeant la peinture à adhérer sur celle-ci et l'empêchant de s'échapper dans l'eau évitant ainsi la pollution et le gaspillage, en même temps qu'il empêche l'eau de pénétrer dans l'élément applicateur, ce qui supprime les risques d'émulsion.It is located between the diffuser 1 and the surface to be painted, forcing the paint to adhere to it and preventing it from escaping into the water thus avoiding pollution and waste, at the same time as it prevents the water from entering the applicator element, which eliminates the risk of emulsion.

La peinture utilisée est du type polymérisant sous l'eau. Les meilleurs résultats sont obtenus avec une peinture bi-composant sans évaporation. The paint used is of the underwater polymerization type. The best results are obtained with a two-component paint without evaporation.

Le dispositif peut être utilisé à la main, par un plongeur professionnel ou amateur, mais peut parfaitement s'adapter sur tout système mécanique visant à automatiser les opérations de peinture. The device can be used by hand, by a professional or amateur diver, but can be perfectly adapted to any mechanical system aimed at automating painting operations.

Grâce à sa simplicité, à sa facilité d'utilisation et à son faible coût de revient, le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit peut être utilisé aussi bien par des entreprises de toutes tailles que par un simple particulier. Thanks to its simplicity, its ease of use and its low cost price, the device which has just been described can be used as well by companies of all sizes as by a simple individual.

Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donnent à ce dispositif un maximum d'effets utiles qui n' avaient pas été obtenus à ce jour par des dispositifs similaires.  The positioning of the various constituent elements gives this device a maximum of useful effects which had not been obtained to date by similar devices.
