Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant la réalisation de canots de petites dimensions, légers et pliables, donc peu encombrants à bord des navires de plaisance ou sur le toit d'une voiture. The present invention relates to a method for the production of small, light and foldable canoes, therefore compact, on board pleasure craft or on the roof of a car.
Traditionnellement ces petites embarcations sont réalisées à l'aide de boudins gonflables. Le gonflage de ces boudins assure la rigidité de l'ensemble. L'expérience montre que les matériaux utilisés supportent mal les montages et démontage successifs. Les fuites d'air qui en résultent retirent la rigidité de l'ensemble. Traditionally these small boats are made using inflatable tubes. The inflation of these tubes ensures the rigidity of the assembly. Experience shows that the materials used do not support successive assembly and disassembly. The resulting air leaks remove the rigidity of the assembly.
Le canot tel que prévu par l'invention est constitué de panneaux en matière semi-rigide reliés entre eux par des ensembles charnière recouverts par une bande souple collée aux panneaux et assurant l'étanchéité. Un système original de contreventement, ainsi que la mise en place d'un pont avant et d'un panneau arrière rigide fixés à l'ensemble par vis et écrous assurent, une fois montés, la tenue de l'ensemble. The boat as provided by the invention consists of panels of semi-rigid material connected to each other by hinge assemblies covered by a flexible strip glued to the panels and ensuring sealing. An original bracing system, as well as the installation of a front bridge and a rigid rear panel fixed to the assembly by screws and nuts ensure, once assembled, the assembly.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation:
Les panneaux semi-rigides peuvent être réalisé en mousse de PVC, du genre VEKAPLAN SF (Marque déposée) dont la densité de l'ordre de 0,75 assure la flottabilité de l'ensemble en cas de naufrage. Les charnières et bandes d'étanchéité étant, dans ce cas, réalisées en toile enduite de PVC. Afin d'obtenir une cohésion certaine de l'ensemble, I'adhérence des pièces en toile enduite de PVC sur les panneaux en mousse de PVC est obtenu, soit par soudure à chaud, soit par soudure à froid à l'aide d'une colle spéciale PVC du type TANGIT (Marque déposée), qui assure, après 48 heures de prise, une véritable soudure des matériaux entre eux.According to particular embodiments:
The semi-rigid panels can be made of PVC foam, of the VEKAPLAN SF (Registered trademark) type, the density of which is about 0.75 ensures the buoyancy of the assembly in the event of sinking. The hinges and sealing strips are, in this case, made of canvas coated with PVC. In order to obtain a certain cohesion of the assembly, the adhesion of the pieces of canvas coated with PVC on the PVC foam panels is obtained, either by hot welding, or by cold welding using a special PVC glue of the TANGIT type (registered trademark), which ensures, after 48 hours of setting, a real welding of the materials together.
- Le pliage central peut se faire soit vers l'extérieur soit vers l'intérieur de l'embarcation. Voir figure 2D et Fig 2 E. - The central folding can be done either outward or inward of the boat. See figure 2D and Fig 2 E.
- Le panneau arrière peut comporter un volume de flottabilité compensant le poids d'un petit moteur en cas de naufrage. - The rear panel may have a buoyancy volume that compensates for the weight of a small engine in the event of sinking.
- Une dérive latérale articulée peut être installée pour l'utilisation de l'embarcation en voilier. - An articulated lateral fin can be installed for the use of the boat as a sailboat.
- Un support de mat, ainsi qu'un guide de ce dernier peut être installé pour l'utilisation en voilier. - A mast support and a guide for the latter can be installed for use on sailboats.
- Un gouvernail peut être installé pour l'utilisation en voilier. - A rudder can be installed for use on a sailboat.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.
Les figures 1A, 1B et ] C constituent un plan trois vues du canot monté. Figures 1A, 1B and] C constitute a plan three views of the boat mounted.
En référence à ces dessins le canot comporte deux fonds (l) rigidifiés dans le sens longitudinal par des tasseaux en bois ou en PVC (23) fixés sous le fonds et faisant office de quilles d'échouage. n comporte également deux parois latérales (2) rigidifiées dans la partie supérieure par pliage à chaud du panneau ou tasseau rapporté. Ces éléments sont reliés entre eux par un système de charnière (Voir fig.3) constitué de petits éléments de toile armée (3) collés alternativement d'un coté et de l'autre du biseau (20) pratiqué sur les panneaux à l'endroit des articulations. With reference to these drawings, the boat has two bottoms (l) stiffened in the longitudinal direction by wooden or PVC battens (23) fixed under the bottoms and acting as grounding keels. n also has two side walls (2) stiffened in the upper part by hot folding of the panel or added cleat. These elements are connected together by a hinge system (See fig. 3) made up of small elements of reinforced canvas (3) glued alternately on one side and the other of the bevel (20) practiced on the panels at the location of the joints.
L'ensemble charnière est recouvert d'une bande de toile année étanche (4) collée sur les panneaux et assure l'étanchéité de la charnière. The hinge assembly is covered with a strip of waterproof canvas (4) glued to the panels and seals the hinge.
La fermeture de l'arrière du canot est assurée par une toile étanche (5) collée sur les panneaux de fond (I) et les deux parois latérales (2) (Voir Fig.4). La rigidité de l'arrière est obtenue par un panneau rigide (6) amovible qui peut comporter un volume de flottabilité (7)suffisant pour compenser le poids d'un petit moteur auxiliaire en cas de naufrage. Ce panneau arrière est maintenu en place grâce au serrage par vis et écrou (10) contre la traverse arrière (8).The rear of the boat is closed by a waterproof canvas (5) glued to the bottom panels (I) and the two side walls (2) (See Fig. 4). The rigidity of the rear is obtained by a removable rigid panel (6) which may include a buoyancy volume (7) sufficient to compensate for the weight of a small auxiliary engine in the event of sinking. This rear panel is held in place by tightening by screw and nut (10) against the rear cross member (8).
La tenue de l'ensemble, une fois monté, est assurée par un ou deux bancs (il), ainsi que par un pont avant (9) un panneau arrière (6) et une traverse arrière (8) fixés par des vis et écrous (10). The holding of the assembly, once mounted, is ensured by one or two benches (it), as well as by a front bridge (9) a rear panel (6) and a rear crossmember (8) fixed by screws and nuts (10).
Le pont avant (9) relie l'avant des fonds et des panneaux latéraux. n est maintenu en place par un système de vis et écrous (10)
Chaque banc en bois (11) est positionné à chaque extrémité par des équerres (12) et (13) collées sur les parois verticales. Une goupille à ressort(14) maintient le banc dans les équerres. (Voir FigureS).The front bridge (9) connects the front of the bottoms and the side panels. n is held in place by a system of screws and nuts (10)
Each wooden bench (11) is positioned at each end by brackets (12) and (13) glued to the vertical walls. A spring pin (14) keeps the bench in the brackets. (See FigureS).
Le contreventement latéral du canot est assuré par des entretoises trapézoïdales (16) reliées aux fonds (1) par des charnières en toile armée (17). La partie haute des entretoises constituée d'une pièce en matériau rigide (18) fixé sur chaque entretoise (16) est introduite dans une fente du banc (11) et verrouillée par un système de goupille à ressort (19). Voir Figure 6B. The lateral bracing of the boat is ensured by trapezoidal spacers (16) connected to the bottoms (1) by reinforced canvas hinges (17). The upper part of the spacers consisting of a piece of rigid material (18) fixed on each spacer (16) is introduced into a slot in the bench (11) and locked by a spring pin system (19). See Figure 6B.

La figure 2B représente le démontage du pont avant, de la cloison arriéreet du banc ainsi que le rabattage des trapèzes de contreventement.Figure 2A shows the canoe mounted
Figure 2B shows the disassembly of the front deck, the rear wall and the bench as well as the folding of the bracing trapezoids.
La Figure 2C représente le pliage des parois latérales. Figure 2C shows the folding of the side walls.
Les figures 2D et 2E représentent le pliage suivant l'axe longitudinal par l'intérieur ou par l'extérieur. Figures 2D and 2E show the folding along the longitudinal axis from the inside or from the outside.
Les figures 2f et 2G représente le serrage de l'ensemble par une sangle. Figures 2f and 2G shows the tightening of the assembly by a strap.
En version voilier (Voir Figure 7) le canot est équipé d'une dérive latérale unique (21) articulée à l'extérieur de l'un des panneaux latéraux, ce qui permet de régler le centre de dérive latérale. Dans ce cas il est également équipé d'un gouvernail (22) articulé sur la traverse arrière (8). In sailboat version (See Figure 7) the boat is equipped with a single lateral fin (21) articulated outside one of the side panels, which allows to adjust the center of lateral drift. In this case it is also equipped with a rudder (22) articulated on the rear crossmember (8).
