Description

a pré5enL invention a pour objet un dispositif destiné au rangement et à la protection d'une voile de bateau, notamment une grand-voile. a pré5enL invention relates to a device intended for the storage and the protection of a sail of boat, in particular a mainsail.

Sur un bateau à voile, lorsqu'elles ne sont pas en service, même pour une durée relativement courte, il est préférable de protéger les voiles des agressions atmosphériques, dont entre autres les rayons utra-violets. On a sailing boat, when they are not in service, even for a relatively short time, it is preferable to protect the sails from atmospheric aggression, including among others the ultraviolet rays.

S'il est relativement aisé de dégréer une voile d'avant par exemple, et de la ranger dans un sac, il n'en est pas de même pour une grand-voile. Certains la laissent ferlée et carguée sur la bôme, en ne la recouvrant d'une housse, constituée dlun fourreau, que lors d'arrêts assez longs, et cette opération n'est pas aisée à effectuer pour une personne seule. If it is relatively easy to set up a sail before for example, and to put it in a bag, it is not the same for a mainsail. Some leave it folded and stuck on the boom, by covering it with a cover, consisting of a sheath, only during fairly long stops, and this operation is not easy to perform for a single person.

La présente invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif qui permet d'une part à une personne seule d'effectuer la manoeuvre, et d'autre part d'effectuer ladite manoeuvre dès l'affalage de la voile. The present invention makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a device which makes it possible, on the one hand, for a single person to carry out the maneuver, and on the other hand to carry out said maneuver as soon as the sail collapses.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte d'une part deux demi-housses s'adaptant chacune de part et d'autre de la bôme, et d'autre part un ensemble de bouts reliant les bords desdites demi-housses aux haubans existants et permettant de les maintenir tendues à la verticale afin d'accueillir entre elles la voile lors de l'affalage. Lorsque celle-ci est complètement ferlée, il suffit de rapprocher les bords des demi-housses qui sont pourvus d'un moyen de fermeture de type fermeture à glissière ou autre, la partie fixation de la voile sur le mât étant recouverte par une toile se fixant au moyen de sangles, ou par tout autre moyen approprie. The device according to the invention comprises on the one hand two half-covers each adapting on either side of the boom, and on the other hand a set of ends connecting the edges of said half-covers to the existing shrouds and allowing to keep them stretched vertically in order to accommodate the sail between them during the collapse. When the latter is completely folded, it suffices to bring the edges of the half-covers which are provided with a closure means of the zipper or other type, the part fixing the sail to the mast being covered by a canvas. securing by means of straps, or by any other suitable means.

Les caractéristiques et les avantages de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif. The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Dans le dessin annexé
- la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective schématisée d'un dispositif selon l'invention lors de l'affalage d'une grand-voile.
In the attached drawing
- Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a device according to the invention when collapsing a mainsail.

- la figure 2 représente une vue en élévation d'une voile rangée dans la housse d'un dispositif selon l'invention.  - Figure 2 shows an elevational view of a sail stored in the cover of a device according to the invention.

la figure 3 représente une vue en perspective montrant la position de la housse lorsque la voile est hissée. Figure 3 shows a perspective view showing the position of the cover when the sail is hoisted.

Si on se réfère à la figure 1 on peut voir que le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une housse 1 formée de deux demi-housses 10 et 11 montées longitudinalement et bilatéralement sur la bôme 2 dTun mât 3, au moyen, par exemple, de ralingues que l'on fait coulisser dans des rails 20 rivetés sur la bôme 2. If we refer to Figure 1 we can see that the device according to the invention comprises a cover 1 formed by two half-covers 10 and 11 mounted longitudinally and bilaterally on the boom 2 of a mast 3, by means, for example, of ropes which are made to slide in rails 20 riveted to boom 2.

Chacune de ces deux demi-housses 10 et Il comporte à une certaine distance du bord opposé à celui qui est fixé à la bôme 2, un fourreau 13 dans lequel est enfilée une latte 12 donnant de la rigidité auxdites demi-housses 10 et 11 dans leur sens longitudinal et servant à plier la housse approximativement en deux lors de la navigation. Each of these two half-covers 10 and It comprises, at a certain distance from the edge opposite to that which is fixed to the boom 2, a sheath 13 in which a slat 12 is threaded giving rigidity to said half-covers 10 and 11 in their longitudinal direction and used to fold the cover approximately in half during navigation.

Des orifices 5 garnis d'oeillets sont pratiqués dans les demi-housses 10 et Il le long des fourreaux 13 et servent à la fixation de cordages 4 permettant de maintenir tendues vers le haut les parties des demi-housses comprises entre les lattes 12 et la bôme 2. Ports 5 lined with eyelets are made in the half-covers 10 and II along the sheaths 13 and are used for fixing ropes 4 making it possible to keep the parts of the half-covers comprised between the slats 12 and the boom 2.

Dans l'exemple illustré les oeillets sont au nombre de trois mais peuvent être plus nombreux. En partant du mât 3 vers l'extrémité de la bôme 2 ces oeillets garnissant des orifices sont numérotés 51, 52 et 53 pour la demi-housse 10 et 54, 55 et 56 pour la demi-housse 11. In the example illustrated the eyelets are three in number but may be more numerous. Starting from the mast 3 towards the end of the boom 2, these eyelets lining the orifices are numbered 51, 52 and 53 for the half-cover 10 and 54, 55 and 56 for the half-cover 11.

Dans les oeillets 52 et 53 de la demi-housse 10 sont fixées, au moyen d'un noeud fait à l'intérieur de la toile, les extrémités d'un bout 40 préalablement passé dans une ganse 41 laquelle est fixée à une extrémité d'un bout 42 passant dans une ganse 43 et dont l'autre extrémité est fixée à l'oeillet 51. La ganse 43 est fixée à une extrémité d'un bout 44 passant dans une poulie 45 montée sur la balancine 6 reliant le haut du mât 3 à l'extrémité de la bôme 2, 1' autre extrémité du bout 44 étant reliée à une ganse 46 par laquelle passe un bout 47 dont l'une des extrémités est fixée dans l'oeillet 54 de la demi-housse 11, et 11 autre extrémité à une ganse 48 par laquelle passe un bout 49 dont une extrémité est fixée dans l'oeillet 55 et l'autre dans l'oeillet 56.Ce dispositif permet d'obtenir après réglage une tension parfaitement équilibrée.  In the eyelets 52 and 53 of the half-cover 10 are fixed, by means of a knot made inside the canvas, the ends of a tip 40 previously passed through a loop 41 which is fixed to one end d 'a tip 42 passing through a loop 43 and the other end of which is fixed to the eyelet 51. The loop 43 is fixed to one end of a end 44 passing through a pulley 45 mounted on the swing 6 connecting the top of the mast 3 at the end of the boom 2, the other end of the end 44 being connected to a strap 46 through which a end 47 passes, one end of which is fixed in the eyelet 54 of the half-cover 11, and 11 another end to a loop 48 through which passes a tip 49, one end of which is fixed in the eyelet 55 and the other in the eyelet 56. This device makes it possible to obtain, after adjustment, a perfectly balanced tension.

osque les demi-housses 10 et 11 sont ainsi maintenues en position, leurs parties 14 et 15, comprises entre le bord opposé à celui fixé à la bôme 2 et la latte 12, retombent librement à l'intérieur de l'espace créé par les deux demi-housses tendues vers le haut. osque the half-covers 10 and 11 are thus held in position, their parts 14 and 15, comprised between the edge opposite to that fixed to the boom 2 and the slat 12, fall freely inside the space created by the two half-covers stretched upwards.

Ainsi lorsque la voile 7 est affalée sur la bôme 2 elle se trouve comprise dans cet espace, il suffit alors de la recouvrir des bords 14 et 15 et de les réunir par un moyen de fermeture adapté, tel qu'une fermeture à glissière 16 dont leur bords sont munis. Thus when the sail 7 is slumped on the boom 2 it is included in this space, it then suffices to cover it with the edges 14 and 15 and to join them together by a suitable closure means, such as a zipper 16 whose their edges are provided.

Si on se réfère à la figure 2 on peut voir que la partie avant de la bôme 2 contre le mât 3, qui n'est pas couverte par la housse 1, est recouverte par une avant-housse 8 se plaçant à cheval sur la bôme 2 et le mât 3 et se fixant au moyen par exemple d'une sangle. If we refer to Figure 2 we can see that the front part of the boom 2 against the mast 3, which is not covered by the cover 1, is covered by a front cover 8 placed astride the boom 2 and the mast 3 and fixing by means for example of a strap.

Si on se réfère à la figure 3 on peut voir que lorsque la voile 7 est hissée, les demi-housses 10 et 11 peuvent restées en position tendues vers le haut, ne génant pas ltavance du bateau. If we refer to Figure 3 we can see that when the sail 7 is hoisted, the half-covers 10 and 11 can remain in the stretched up position, not interfering with the advance of the boat.

Toutefois il est possible, lors d'un long périple, d'amener les demi-housses à hauteur de la bôme et de les y fixer. However, it is possible, during a long journey, to bring the half-covers up to the boom and to fix them there.

Il va de soi que la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à la description qui précède, et qui est susceptible de subir des modifications sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.  It goes without saying that the present invention cannot be limited to the above description, and which is liable to be modified without departing from the scope of the invention.
