Abstract

Rescue and aid device for flotation and for running aground, acting according to Archimedes' principle. The invention relates to a device intended to increase the reserve buoyancy, aid plugging of a leak and minimise damage in the event of a floating unit running aground. It consists of a plugging canvas (cloth) forming a part of or fixed on an inflatable casing, and of a single or multiple inflation system which is manual, automatic or is triggered in contact with a fluid, of a direct or indirect inflation connection system having an undefined length; a fastening system joins and holds the assembly to the boat. The device according to the invention is particularly suited for pleasure sailing, without thereby being limited to this field.

Description

SYSTEME DE SECOURS ET D'ASSISTANCE A À
FLOTTABILITE ET A L'éCHOUAGE
PAR ELEMENT GONFLABLE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de secours et d'assistance à la flottabilité et à échouage, agissant selon-le principe d'Archimède, particulièrement adapté à la navigation de plaisance sans en être pour autant limité à ce domaine.EMERGENCY AND ASSISTANCE SYSTEM A TO
BUOYANCY AND GROUNDING
BY INFLATABLE ELEMENT
The present invention relates to a rescue and assistance device for buoyancy and grounding, acting according to the principle of Archimedes, particularly suitable for pleasure boating without being limited thereto to this field.

La perte ou l'endommagement grave d'une unité flottante, et plus particulièrement d'un navire de plaisance en cas de chocs, de collisions, de défaillances techniques ou d'échouage pouvant entraîner une voie d'eau, est souvent dû au caractère isolé de la situation.Que ce soit par:un manque de moyen efficace à intervenir sur une voie d'eau, une insuffisance de moyens de transmission ou de communication avec d'éventuels secours, par la distance qui sépare l'incident des secours les plus proches. The loss or serious damage of a floating unit, and more particularly of a pleasure vessel in the event of impacts, collisions, technical failures or grounding which could lead to a waterway, is often due to the character isolated from the situation, whether by: a lack of effective means of intervening on a waterway, an insufficient means of transmission or communication with possible helpers, by the distance which separates the incident from helpers closer.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est destinée à supprimer ou minimiser momentanément les dégâts que pourrait encourir un bateau, faisant voie d'eau ou échouer, dans l'attente d'une réparation provisoire ou définitive. The device according to the invention is intended to temporarily eliminate or minimize the damage that a boat could incur, making waterway or failing, pending a temporary or final repair.

I1 comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, une toile de colmatage fixée ou faisant partie d'une enveloppe gonflable s'adaptant à une carène de bateau. L'enveloppe gonflable est équipée d'un système de gonflage, un système de fixation maintient et relie l'ensemble au bateau. En cas de voie d'eau ou d'échouage, il suffit à l'utilisateur du système de:
Fixer sur un bord du bateau une extrémité de l'enveloppe gonflable.I1 indeed has, according to a first characteristic, a sealing fabric fixed or forming part of an inflatable envelope adapting to a boat hull. The inflatable envelope is equipped with an inflation system, a fixing system maintains and connects the assembly to the boat. In the event of a waterway or stranding, the system user only needs to:
Attach one end of the inflatable envelope to an edge of the boat.

Faire passer ladite enveloppe sous le bateau et de la positionner sur ou au plus près de la voie d'eau. Pass the envelope under the boat and position it on or as close as possible to the waterway.

Fixer au bord opposé de la première fixation, la seconde extrémité de enveloppe gonflable En cas d'échouage l'enveloppe gonflable doit être placée au plus près du maître-bau. Attach to the opposite edge of the first attachment, the second end of the inflatable envelope. In the event of grounding, the inflatable envelope must be placed as close as possible to the master beam.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'enveloppe gonflable peut comporter:
- un système de sécurité destiné à contrôler le volume de gaz remplissant l'enveloppe, et d'autre part, à éviter une détérioration de l'enveloppe en cas de surpression.According to particular embodiments, the inflatable envelope may include:
- a safety system intended to control the volume of gas filling the envelope, and on the other hand, to avoid deterioration of the envelope in the event of overpressure.

- Un système de dégonflage de l'enveloppe. - A system for deflating the envelope.

-Un système de gonflage simple ou multiple couplé directement ou indirectement à renveloppe et pouvant être actionné manuellement, automatiquement, ou par réaction au contact d'un fluide, un système de fixation peut maintenir le système de gonflage à l'enveloppe. -A single or multiple inflation system coupled directly or indirectly to the envelope and can be actuated manually, automatically, or by reaction on contact with a fluid, a fixing system can hold the inflation system to the envelope.

-Un système de fixation pouvant faire parti de I'enveloppe,ou fixé à ladite enveloppe, ou au(x) point(s) d'ancrage. -A fixing system that can be part of the envelope, or fixed to said envelope, or to the anchor point (s).

-Un système d'ancrage pouvant faire parti de r enveloppe ou fixer à ladite enveloppe. -An anchoring system that can be part of the envelope or attach to said envelope.

-Une toile de colmatage pouvant faire parti de l'enveloppe ou fixer à ladite enveloppe. -A sealing fabric that can be part of the envelope or attach to said envelope.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

La figure 1 représente une vue d'ensemble en perspective du dispositif selon rinvention. Les figures 2,3,4 représentent un exemple de mise en place du dispositif selon l'invention. La figure 5 représente un exemple de colmatage par le dispositif selon l'invention.Les figures 6 et 7 du dispositif selon l'invention représente en exemple de mise en place en cas d'échouage. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une enveloppe gonflable(l) dont les extrémités supérieures sont munies d'un système de sécurité(4) destiné à
éviter une détérioration de l'enveloppe(l) en cas de surpression, et d'autre part à contrôler le volume de gaz à l'intérieur de ltenveloppe(l). Un système de dégonflage(5) permet de vider l'enveloppe(l) de son contenu.Le système de gonflage(8) est coupler par le raccord(10) à l'enveloppe(l), un système de fixation(7) peut maintenir le système de gonflage(8) à
l'enveloppe(l), un système(9) permet de déclencher le système de gonflage(8).Une toile de
colmatage(6)peut être une parti de l'enveloppe(1) ou être fixée à celle ci. Un système
d'ancrage(2) et un système de fixation(3) maintien 1' enveloppe(l) à l'endroit désiré par
l'utilisateur.FIG. 1 represents an overall perspective view of the device according to the invention. Figures 2,3,4 show an example of installation of the device according to the invention. FIG. 5 represents an example of clogging by the device according to the invention. FIGS. 6 and 7 of the device according to the invention represents an example of installation in the event of stranding. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises an inflatable envelope (l), the upper ends of which are provided with a safety system (4) intended to
avoid deterioration of the envelope (l) in the event of overpressure, and on the other hand to control the volume of gas inside the envelope (l). A deflation system (5) makes it possible to empty the envelope (l) of its contents. The inflation system (8) is coupled by the connector (10) to the envelope (l), a fixing system (7) can keep the inflation system (8) at
the casing (l), a system (9) makes it possible to trigger the inflation system (8).
