DESCRIPTION
La presente invention cnncerne la construction d'un réservoir d'eau destiné à combattre les incendies de forets.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to the construction of a water tank intended to fight forest fires.
Cette invention, est destinée exclusivement à être transportée par hélicoptére pour éteindre des feux de forêts inaccessibles aux moyens de lutte conventionnels. This invention is intended exclusively to be transported by helicopter to extinguish forest fires inaccessible to conventional means of control.
Ce réservoir qui peut contenir plusieurs milliers de litres d'eau sera de construction métallique adaptée à son emploi. This tank, which can hold several thousand liters of water, will be of metal construction suitable for its use.
I1 sera constitué d'une enveloppe principale, d'un couvercle plein prévu à sa partie supérieure1 d'un fond diffuseur à sa partie inferieure destiné à transformer la manse d'eau contenue en pluie. I1 will consist of a main envelope, a full cover provided at its upper part1 with a diffuser bottom at its lower part intended to transform the manse of water contained in rain.
L'intérieur de ce réservoir comporte un fond de retention muni en son centre d'une ouverture elle même obturEe par une soupape destinée à eAtre commandée exterieurement par le moyen de transport et qui liberera dés son ouverture-l'eau contenue au travers du fond diffuseur pour ainsi permettre d'éteindre les foyers avec une plus grande précison. The interior of this tank has a retention bottom provided in its center with an opening which is itself closed by a valve intended to be controlled externally by the means of transport and which will release as soon as it is opened-the water contained through the bottom diffuser so as to put out the fireplaces with greater precision.
D'autres réservoirs identiques peuvent etre alimentés et stockés en un lieu proche des foyers, mais ne comportant pas de dangers pour les servants, permettant ainsi de pouvoir effectuer des rotations plus raai- des des moyens d'intervention. Other identical tanks can be supplied and stored in a location close to the fireplaces, but not presenting any danger for the servants, thus making it possible to perform more rapid rotations of the intervention means.
Les moyens pour l'alimentation serontassurés par camions citerne, pompes au bord de rivières,
Pour assurer le transport de ce réservoir, celui est pourvu de qua
tre points d'attache destinés a être reliés par quatre cables à un hé licoptère, les dits pables passant par un cadre intermédiaire de forme
carréS de maniera à ce que les extremités des cables sont dirigés ver ticaiment sur les points d'attache du réservoir, soumettent ces point
uniquement à desefforts verticaux évitant la déformation du dit réservoir, la commande de l'ouverture de décharge de l'eau étant assurée par un cable auxiliaire agissant sur un levier pré vu sur le réservoir. Means for food will be provided by tanker trucks, riverside pumps,
To ensure the transport of this tank, it is provided with qua
three attachment points intended to be connected by four cables to a helicopter, said pables passing through an intermediate frame
squares so that the ends of the cables are directed vertically on the tank attachment points, subject these points
only vertical forces avoiding the deformation of said tank, the control of the water discharge opening being ensured by an auxiliary cable acting on a lever provided on the tank.

En reference à ces dessins, le fonctionnement estltsuivant:
~Préparation du remplissage du réservoir (I)d'eau: 1"Pour fermer la soupape, (30,32,33):
Faire baisser le manipulateur (8) qui fait descendre l'axe ver
tical(3), le bloc (I3) va bloquer l'are vertical (3) dans la cavité (II)
par le moyen de la pression du ressort (20).With reference to these drawings, the operation is as follows:
~ Preparation for filling the water tank (I): 1 "To close the valve, (30,32,33):
Lower the manipulator (8) which lowers the worm axis
tical (3), the block (I3) will block the vertical area (3) in the cavity (II)
by means of spring pressure (20).
Le support mobile (2?) se trouvant au bout vers le bas de l'axe ver
tical (3) ferme la soupape (30) où est fixé le joint caoutchouc (33)
qui permet de faire l'étancheité avec le joint caoutchouc (33) solidaire
du fond (36).The mobile support (2?) Located at the bottom end of the worm axis
tical (3) closes the valve (30) where the rubber seal (33) is fixed
which allows sealing with the integral rubber seal (33)
from the bottom (36).
Le ressort (24) se trouve en appui sur la rondelle (25) solidaire de
l'axe vertical (3), le support mobile (27) va permettre d'ajuster la
soupape du fond (36) avec plus de perfection au joint caoutchouc (33).The spring (24) is supported on the washer (25) integral with
the vertical axis (3), the mobile support (27) will make it possible to adjust the
bottom valve (36) with more perfection to the rubber seal (33).
20 Pour remplir le réservoir (I):
Ouvrir la trappe (39), le fait que le réservoir (99 est plein se
vérifie par le niveau (41), aprés avoir fermé la même trappe (39).20 To fill the tank (I):
Open the hatch (39), the fact that the tank (99 is full is
check by level (41), after closing the same hatch (39).
30 La préparation du transport du réservoir (I) à l'endroit du si
nistre se fait grâce au support carré (55) de support du réservoir (I)
par quatre cables (52/I/2/3),réunis en un anneau (SI),qui passentpar les
quatre trous (53/I/2/3) du support carré (55) et les bouts de ces cables ont des crochets (54/I/2/3), qui vont se fixer aux trous (44/I/2/3)
du réservoir (I).30 Preparation for transporting the tank (I) to the location
nister is done thanks to the square support (55) of tank support (I)
by four cables (52 / I / 2/3), joined in a ring (SI), which pass through the
four holes (53 / I / 2/3) of the square support (55) and the ends of these cables have hooks (54 / I / 2/3), which will be fixed to the holes (44 / I / 2/3 )
of the tank (I).
40 De l'helicoptere descend le cable de suspension pour soulever
le réservoir (I) qui descend parallélement au cable fin (50); au bout
du cable (50) est accroché un crampon (49/I) qui se vients'accrocher
au crampon (49) qu i est fixé au cable (48),qui passe par la roue gui
de (I9) fixée au collier (I7) et va au trou (23) du levier (I5).40 From the helicopter lower the suspension cable to lift
the reservoir (I) which descends parallel to the thin cable (50); at the end
of the cable (50) is hooked a crampon (49 / I) which get hooked
to the crampon (49) which i is fixed to the cable (48), which passes through the mistletoe
of (I9) fixed to the collar (I7) and goes to the hole (23) of the lever (I5).
Quand le cable (50) est tiré par l'interieur de hélicoptère il
fait reculer le bloc (I3) et l'axe vertical (3) libère par l'inter
mediaire du ressort (4),l'ouverture de la soupape (3Q,32,33) et la pas
sage de l'eau du fond (35)au fond (36) où se transforme la dite masse
d'eau en pluie. When the cable (50) is pulled through the interior of the helicopter it
causes the block (I3) to move back and the vertical axis (3) releases through
middle of the spring (4), the opening of the valve (3Q, 32.33) and the pitch
wise water from the bottom (35) to the bottom (36) where the said mass is transformed
of rain water.
