Abstract

The frame can have a belt (1) mounted on rollers and actuated by walking on it. The belt can drive a screw (2) to drive the frame on the water. The screw can be driven by an intermediate shaft (4), which may be flexible to allow steering. Alternatively, a lever (9) connected to the screw (2) by a system of pulleys (7) and cords (8) allow steering. The lever can be biased to a neutral position by springs (10). The rolling belt system can be attached to the floats of a pedalo.

Description

"DESCRIPTION"
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour marcher sur l'eau."DESCRIPTION"
The present invention relates to a device for walking on water.

Traditionnellement pour avancer sur l'eau avec un effort physique, il faut pédaler sur engin connu "le pédalo" ou "le step" récemment sorti.Traditionally to advance on the water with physical effort, you have to pedal on a known machine "the pedal boat" or "the step" recently released.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ce type de navigation de loisir.The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this type of leisure navigation.

Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, un tapis roulant (1) posé sur deux flotteurs (2) et un chassis (1) figure 2.According to a first characteristic, it comprises a conveyor belt (1) placed on two floats (2) and a chassis (1) in Figure 2.

Ce tapis roulant (1) serait déroulé en marchant dessus et celui-ci entrainerait une hélice (2), ce qui permet d'avancer sur l'eau.This conveyor belt (1) would be unwound by walking on it and it would drive a propeller (2), which allows to advance on the water.

Selon des modes particuliers d'utilisation - Le tapis roulant (1) pourrait être plus ou moins incliné grâce à un pied réglable (3).According to particular modes of use - The treadmill (1) could be more or less inclined thanks to an adjustable foot (3).

- L'adjonction d'une hélice (2) plus ou moins grande, entraîne un choix d'effort et de vitesse
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention - La figure 1 représente le dispositif selon l'invention.- The addition of a larger or smaller propeller (2) leads to a choice of effort and speed
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention - Figure 1 shows the device according to the invention.

- La figure 2 représente le chassis et les deux flotteurs supportant le tapis et l'utilisateur.- Figure 2 shows the chassis and the two floats supporting the mat and the user.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un axe flexible (4) ou est fixé une hélice (2) à une extrémité et un engrenage conique (5) à l'autre extrémité, cet engrenage est couplé sur un autre engrenage conique (6) qui est solidaire du rouleau du tapis roulant (1), et en marchant sur le tapis l'hélice (2) tourne.With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a flexible axis (4) or is fixed a propeller (2) at one end and a bevel gear (5) at the other end, this gear is coupled to another bevel gear (6 ) which is integral with the roller of the conveyor belt (1), and when walking on the carpet the propeller (2) turns.

Le rapport du couple d'engrenage conique est de un sur deux, ce qui facilite la vitesse de rotation de l'hélice.The ratio of the bevel gear torque is one in two, which facilitates the speed of rotation of the propeller.

Le choix d'un axe flexible (4) va toutefois servir à actionner l'hélice (2) par un système de poulies (7) et de cordes (8), pour virer à droite ou à gauche. voir dessin figure 1 ou 3 et 4.The choice of a flexible axis (4) will however serve to actuate the propeller (2) by a system of pulleys (7) and ropes (8), to turn to the right or to the left. see drawing figure 1 or 3 and 4.

Le levier (9) est fixé sur un axe, il est donc très facile à actionner.The lever (9) is fixed on an axis, so it is very easy to operate.

- En tirant le levier (9) coté droit vers le haut, on vire à droite.- By pulling the lever (9) right side up, you turn to the right.

- En tirant le levier (9) coté gauche vers le haut, on vire à gauche.- By pulling the lever (9) on the left side upwards, you veer to the left.

Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 1, le levier (9) est rappelé de droite et de gauche par deux ressorts (10) pour retrouver sa position initiale remettant l'axe de l'hélice droit.In the embodiment according to Figure 1, the lever (9) is recalled from the right and left by two springs (10) to return to its initial position returning the axis of the right propeller.

Selon une variante non illustrée le tapis roulant peut être posé sur un autre support flottant.According to a variant not illustrated, the treadmill can be placed on another floating support.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif l'engin aura des dimensions de l'ordre de 130 centimètres de largueur et de 400 centimètres de longueur, si c'est des flotteurs de "pédalo".By way of nonlimiting example, the craft will have dimensions of the order of 130 centimeters in width and 400 centimeters in length, if it is a "pedal boat" float.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à des loueurs de "pédalos, barques, canoës, etc...". The device according to the invention is particularly intended for rental companies of "pedal boats, boats, canoes, etc.".
