Mais les miradors actuellement utilisés sont fixes et comportent de ce fait des inconvénients. Ils peuvent être endommagés par des personnes peu scrupuleuses et sont des risques d'accidents pour des enfants  But the watchtowers currently used are fixed and therefore have drawbacks. They can be damaged by unscrupulous people and are the risk of accidents for children.

La présente invention a pour objet un mirador ambulant qui convient pour la chasse mais peut avoir d'autres applications, par exemple la surveillance d'un lieu de  The subject of the present invention is a traveling watchtower which is suitable for hunting but may have other applications, for example the surveillance of a place of

baignade.bathing.

Le mirador selon l'invention comprend une structure de support ayant sensiblement la forme d'un tronc de pyramide de base rectangulaire, et est caractérisé en ce que l'une des faces longitudinales de la structure supporte un essieu pour des roues situé plus près de la grande base de la structure que de sa petite base, et en ce qu'il comporte une barre d'attelage escamotable située dans le plan de ladite face longitudinale, des patins stabilisateurs portés par la face longitudinale  The watchtower according to the invention comprises a support structure having substantially the shape of a rectangular pyramid trunk, and is characterized in that one of the longitudinal faces of the structure supports an axle for wheels located closer to the large base of the structure than of its small base, and in that it comprises a retractable drawbar located in the plane of said longitudinal face, stabilizing pads carried by the longitudinal face

opposée de la structure, et une plateforme.  opposite of the structure, and a platform.

On a décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation du mirador ambulant selon l'invention avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels: La Figure 1 est une vue en élévation du mirador en position d'utilisation La Figure 2 en est une élévation latérale La Figure 3 est une vue en élévation montrant deux miradors emboîtés l'un dans l'autre, en position de transport sur route La Figure 4 est une vue en perspective du  An embodiment of the traveling watchtower according to the invention has been described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is an elevation view of the watchtower in the use position. Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof Figure 3 is an elevational view showing two watchtowers nested one inside the other, in the transport position on the road Figure 4 is a perspective view of the

mirador secondaire.secondary watchtower.

Tel qu'il est représenté aux dessins, le mirador selon l'invention comprend une structure 1 qui a sensiblement  As shown in the drawings, the watchtower according to the invention comprises a structure 1 which has substantially

la forme d'un tronc de pyramide de base rectangulaire.  the shape of a rectangular base pyramid trunk.

L'une des faces longitudinales de la structure 1 supporte un essieu 2 pour des roues 3; l'essieu 2 est situé plus près de la grande base de la structure 1 que de l'autre base; l'écart entre l'essieu et la petite base est de préférence est de préférence égal à six à  One of the longitudinal faces of the structure 1 supports an axle 2 for wheels 3; axle 2 is located closer to the large base of structure 1 than to the other base; the distance between the axle and the small base is preferably equal to six to

huit fois l'écart entre l'essieu et la petite base.  eight times the distance between the axle and the small base.

Sur la face longitudinale de la structure 1 opposée à celle portant l'essieu 2 sont prévues deux béquilles stabilisatrices 4 montées pivotantes autour d'un axe longitudinal 5; chacune d'elles comporte un patin 6 qui est disposé sensiblement dans le plan de la grande base de la structure et peut être déplacée parallèlement à lui-même par un vérin à vis 7. La structure 1 porte une barre d'attelage escamotable 8 située sensiblement dans le plan de la face  On the longitudinal face of the structure 1 opposite to that carrying the axle 2 are provided two stabilizing crutches 4 pivotally mounted around a longitudinal axis 5; each of them has a shoe 6 which is arranged substantially in the plane of the large base of the structure and can be moved parallel to itself by a screw jack 7. The structure 1 carries a retractable hitch bar 8 located substantially in the plane of the face

longitudinale de la structure 1 portant l'essieu 2.  longitudinal of the structure 1 carrying the axle 2.

Un plateforme 9 est articulé sur l'une des faces longitudinales de la structure 1 et une butée non représentée permet de la maintenir en position  A platform 9 is articulated on one of the longitudinal faces of the structure 1 and a stop not shown makes it possible to hold it in position

horizontale quand la structure 1 est verticale.  horizontal when structure 1 is vertical.

L'une des faces longitudinales de la structure 1 perpendiculaire à celle portant l'essieu 2 est en forme d'échelle 10 verticale permettant d'avoir accès à la  One of the longitudinal faces of the structure 1 perpendicular to that carrying the axle 2 is in the form of a vertical ladder 10 providing access to the

plateforme 9.platform 9.

Pour le transport, le mirador est disposé de façon que son axe longitudinal soit sensiblement horizontal, en reposant sur les roues 3 et la barre 8 est attelée à un  For transport, the watchtower is arranged so that its longitudinal axis is substantially horizontal, resting on the wheels 3 and the bar 8 is coupled to a

véhicule tracteur.towing vehicle.

Au lieu d'utilisation, on sépare la barre d'attelage du véhicule tracteur et on fait pivoter le mirador autour de l'axe de l'essieu 2 portant les roues 3, jusqu'à ce que l'arête 10 située à la rencontre de la face longitudinale portant l'essieu 1 avec la grande base de la structure repose sur le sol. Le mirador fait alors avec la verticale un angle relativement faible du fait de la proximité de l'essieu 2 de la grande base de la structure. Il suffit alors de faire pivoter les béquilles 4 pour les amener à extérieur de la structure et de poursuivre le redressement du mirador en le faisant pivoter autour de l'arête 10 jusqu'à ce que les patins 6 reposent sur le sol, comme le montre la Figure 1. La verticalité du mirador est enfin réglée  At the place of use, the drawbar is separated from the towing vehicle and the watchtower is pivoted about the axis of the axle 2 carrying the wheels 3, until the edge 10 located at the meeting of the longitudinal face carrying the axle 1 with the large base of the structure rests on the ground. The watchtower then makes a relatively small angle to the vertical due to the proximity of the axle 2 to the large base of the structure. It then suffices to pivot the crutches 4 to bring them outside the structure and to continue straightening the watchtower by pivoting it around the edge 10 until the pads 6 rest on the ground, as shown Figure 1. The verticality of the watchtower is finally adjusted

avec précision à l'aide des vérins à vis 7.  with precision using screw jacks 7.

Dans le mirador qui vient d'être décrit, on peut emboîter un second mirador de forme analogue et dont la structure 1' peut être emboîtée dans la structure 1. Ce mirador secondaire ne comporte ni l'essieu 2 avec les roues 3, ni la barre d'attelage 8. De plus, les axes 5 des béquilles 4, au lieu d'être situés à l'extérieur de la structure comme c'est le cas pour le mirador principal, sont disposés à l'intérieur de la structure 1', les patins étant ainsi escamotés à l'intérieur de  In the watchtower which has just been described, it is possible to fit a second watchtower of similar shape and the structure 1 'of which can be fitted into the structure 1. This secondary watchtower has neither the axle 2 with the wheels 3, nor the drawbar 8. In addition, the axes 5 of the crutches 4, instead of being located outside the structure as is the case for the main watchtower, are arranged inside the structure 1 ', the pads being thus retracted inside

cette structure pour le transport.this structure for transportation.

Au lieu d'utilisation on dégage le mirador secondaire du mirador principal. Ce mirador secondaire est moins lourd que l'autre de sorte qu'il peut être amené dans la position verticale par simple pivotement autour de  In place of use, the secondary watchtower is released from the main watchtower. This secondary watchtower is lighter than the other so that it can be brought into the vertical position by simple pivoting around

son arête 10'.its edge 10 '.

Il va de soi que la présente invention ne doit pas être considérée comme limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté, mais en couvre, au contraire, toutes les variantes. C'est ainsi que que l'invention peut être  It goes without saying that the present invention should not be considered as limited to the embodiment described and shown, but on the contrary covers all variants thereof. This is how the invention can be

appliquée à la défense des forêts contre l'incendie.  applied to the defense of forests against fire.
