Abstract

The drum (1) is attached to a coil spring (2), whose action causes it to maintain tension in the mooring (4). The band brake (5) locks the drum in the selected position. A second spring (3) allows limited movement of the drum during small movements of the vessel.

Description

La présente invention permet l'amarrage des bateaux ou des navires de tout tonnage. The present invention allows the mooring of boats or vessels of any tonnage.

En l'état actuel de la technique, l'amarrage des navires ou des bateaux suppose l'utilisation de cordages qu'il faut stocker à bord ou sur le quai. In the current state of the art, the mooring of ships or boats supposes the use of ropes which must be stored on board or on the quay.

Les cordages se salissent alors énormément, s'usent. I1 faut les nouer, rajouter des ressorts de réglage de tension pour assurer une bonne tenue. Lors de largage d'amarres, il faut les jeter sur le quai ou les récupérer à bord, mouillés, souvent couverts de l'huile et du gasoil flottant sur le plan d'eau. The ropes then get very dirty, wear out. They must be tied, add tension adjustment springs to ensure good hold. When dropping moorings, they must be thrown on the quay or retrieved on board, wet, often covered with oil and diesel floating on the water.

Si le bateau navigue dans une zone soumise à la marée, il faut sans cesse choquer ou border les amarres pour éviter de retrouver son navire ou son bateau dérivant à plusieurs mètres du quai ou pendu audit quai. If the boat is sailing in an area subject to the tide, it is necessary to constantly shock or border the moorings to avoid finding its vessel or its boat drifting several meters from the quay or hanging from said quay.

La présente invention se compose d'un système bobine d'enroulement (1) pour cordage ou pour sangle, attelée à un ressort de rappel (2). The present invention consists of a winding reel system (1) for rope or strap, coupled to a return spring (2).

Libre, l'amarre de par l'action du ressort (2) s'enroule sur la bobine (1). Pour amarrer le bateau, il suffit de tirer sur l'amarre (4) et de la fixer au quai de façon traditionnelle ou en utilisant un système crochet-mousqueton. Free, the mooring by the action of the spring (2) is wound on the reel (1). To moor the boat, simply pull on the mooring line (4) and fix it to the quay in the traditional way or using a hook-carabiner system.

Un taquet coinceur (5) permet de bloquer l'amarre lorsque la longueur désirée est obtenue. Le taquet coinceur (5) non verrouillé permettra au bateau ou au navire de descendre ou de monter, lors du mouvement de l'eau dû à la marée. L'eau baisse, l'enrouleur dévide l'amarre ; l'eau monte, l'enrouleur réembobine l'amarre. Le bateau est alors parfaitement amarré. A cleat cleat (5) makes it possible to block the mooring when the desired length is obtained. The unlocked cam cleat (5) will allow the boat or vessel to descend or ascend when the water moves due to the tide. The water drops, the reel unwinds the line; the water rises, the rewind rewinds the mooring. The boat is then perfectly moored.

Un deuxième ressort (3) ne permettant à la sangle ou au cordage de ne débattre que de quelques centimètres peut être utilisé pour éviter les à-coups. Ce ressort est embrayable ou débrayable du tambour (1) par un arbre cannelé coulissant dans celui-ci, par exemple. Lorsqu'il est embrayé, l'amarre (4) ne peut plus sortir ou rentrer sous l'action de ce ressort que de quelques centimètres ; le ressort (3) amortit les tractions et bloque le tambour (1) de son fonctionnement normal. A second spring (3) which allows the strap or the rope to move only a few centimeters can be used to avoid jolts. This spring can be engaged or disengaged from the drum (1) by a grooved shaft sliding therein, for example. When engaged, the mooring line (4) can no longer exit or re-enter under the action of this spring than a few centimeters; the spring (3) absorbs traction and blocks the drum (1) from its normal operation.

Ce système permet d'équilibrer la tension des amarres lorsque la vague, le vent ou le passage d'un autre bateau fait bouger le plan d'eau. This system makes it possible to balance the tension of the moorings when the wave, the wind or the passage of another boat causes the body of water to move.

Les ressorts utilisables sont de type spirale. Ils sont couplables au tambour (1) soit, en ligne directe, soit par un système d'entrainement démultiplié ou non. Le choix en est fait en fonction de l'enrouleur d'amarre adéquat au navire ou au bateau à équiper. The springs that can be used are of the spiral type. They can be coupled to the drum (1) either in a direct line, or by a geared down system or not. The choice is made according to the mooring reel suitable for the ship or boat to be equipped.

Ce dispositif peut être installé à bord en saillie ou encastré, à quai, posé ou fixé.  This device can be installed on a surface or flush-mounted on board, alongside, posed or fixed.
