Abstract

The floating craft has a seat (2) and a heel rests (6) for retaining the user on the seat despite the traction exerted by the kite. It has a rudder (4) and steering element (5) for steering the rudder using the user's legs. Above the heel rests is a pedal (7) and a rudder bar (8) connected by transmission ropes (9), guided by pulleys (11), to the rudder.

Description

L'invention se rapporte<B>à</B> un engin flottant déplacé<B>à</B> l'aide d'un cerf volant ou d'une aile de parachute. The invention relates to a floating craft moved to a kite or a parachute wing.

Les planches<B>à</B> voile ont contribué<B>à</B> un large développement des sports nautiques. The boards <B> to </ B> sail have contributed <B> to </ B> a wide development of water sports.

Le succès de ces planches résulte notamment de l'utilisation d'une voile supportée par un mât fixé de manière amovible sur la planche et permettant ainsi d'évoluer àFaide du vent contrairement au planche de surf ou au ski nautique qui, dans ce dernier cas, nécessite de disposer d'un bateau. The success of these boards results in particular from the use of a sail supported by a mast fixed removably on the board and thus allowing to evolve with the help of the wind unlike the surfboard or the water ski which, in the latter case , requires to have a boat.

Est apparu un nouveau sport qui consiste, non plus<B>à</B> utiliser une voile fixée sur un mât, mais un cerf volant ou une aile de parachute que l'utilisateur manoeuvre <B>à</B> l'aide de ces deux mains. There has emerged a new sport that no longer consists of using a sail attached to a mast, but a kite or parachute wing that the user maneuvers to. help with both hands.

L'utilisateur se tient debout sur une planche de surf et se déplace selon la direction qu'impose le vent. The user stands on a surfboard and moves in the direction of the wind.

Contrairement<B>à</B> un bateau<B>à</B> voile où l'utilisateur dispose d'un gouvernail qu'il peut orienter selon la direction choisie, avec ce mode de traction par cerf volant, cela lui est impossible dans la mesure où il a les mains occupées<B>à</B> retenir le cerf volant. Unlike <B> to </ B> a boat <B> to </ B> sail where the user has a rudder that he can steer according to the chosen direction, with this mode of traction by kite, this him is impossible to the extent that he has his hands busy <B> to </ B> hold back the kite.

L'invention a pour objectif notamment de résoudre ce problème. The invention aims in particular to solve this problem.

<B>A</B> cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un engin flottant déplacé<B>à</B> l'aide d'un cerf volant tenu en mains par l'utilisateur de la planche caractérisé en ce que l'engin comprend<B>:</B> <B>-</B> d'une part, un siège et un moyen pour retenir l'utilisateur sur le dit siège malgré la traction exercée par le cerf volant et <B>-</B> d'autre part, un gouvernail et des moyens d'orientation du gouvernail<B>à</B> l'aide des membres inférieurs de l'utilisateur. <B> A </ B> this object, the subject of the invention is a floating machine moved <B> to </ B> using a kite held in hands by the user of the board characterized in that that the craft includes <B>: </ B> <B> - </ B> on the one hand, a seat and a means to retain the user on the said seat despite the traction exerted by the kite and < B> - </ B> on the other hand, a rudder and rudder steering means <B> to </ B> using the lower limbs of the user.

L'invention sera bien comprise<B>à</B> l'aide de la description ci-après faite<B>à</B> titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard du dessin ci-annexé qui représente schématiquement<B>:</B> <B>-</B> figure<B>1</B> une vue de dessus d'un engin flottant, <B>-</B> figure 2 une vue en coupe longitudinale de cet engin. En se reportant au dessin, on voit un engin flottant<B>1.</B> The invention will be understood <B> to </ B> with the help of the description below made <B> to </ B> as a non-limiting example with reference to the attached drawing which schematically represents <B >: </ B> <B> - </ B> figure <B> 1 </ B> a top view of a floating craft, <B> - </ B> Figure 2 a longitudinal sectional view of this machine. Referring to the drawing, we see a floating craft <B> 1. </ B>

Cet engin flottant peut se présenter sous différentes formes. <B>Il</B> peut être monocoque ou multicoques. This floating craft can be in different forms. <B> It </ B> can be monohull or multihulls.

La figure 2 a été simplifiée pour ne faire apparaître que les éléments essentiels. Figure 2 has been simplified to show only the essential elements.

<B>Il</B> peut ressembler<B>à</B> une planche du type planche<B>à</B> voile ou un canoë ou un engin similaire. <B> It </ B> can look like <B> to </ B> a board like board <B> to </ B> sail or a canoe or a similar gear.

Pour le déplacer, l'utilisateur met en oeuvre un cerf volant (non représenté) ou engin volant similaire. To move it, the user uses a kite (not shown) or similar flying machine.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'engin comprend <B>-</B> d'une part, un siège 2 et un moyen<B>3</B> pour retenir l'utilisateur sur le dit siège malgré la traction exercée par le cerf volant et <B>-</B> d'autre part, un gouvernail 4 et des moyens<B>5</B> d'orientation du gouvernail <B>à</B> l'aide des membres inférieurs de l'utilisateur. According to a feature of the invention, the machine comprises <B> - </ B> on the one hand, a seat 2 and a means <B> 3 </ B> to retain the user on said seat despite the traction exerted by the kite and <B> - </ B> on the other hand, a rudder 4 and means <B> 5 </ B> steering rudder <B> to </ B> help lower limbs of the user.

Avantageusement, l'engin flottant comprend des repose-talons <B>6</B> sur lesquels s'appuient les talons de l'utilisateur pour ainsi l'aider<B>à</B> se maintenir sur son siège et au dessus de chaque repose-talons, une pédale<B>7</B> d'un palonnier<B>8</B> reliée par une transmission au gouvernail. Advantageously, the floating apparatus comprises heel pads <B> 6 </ B> on which the heels of the user rest so as to help him <B> to </ B> stay in his seat and to above each bead rest, a pedal <B> 7 </ B> of a spreader <B> 8 </ B> connected by a transmission to the rudder.

Ainsi, c'est<B>à</B> l'aide de la pointe de pieds que l'utilisateur manoeuvre son engin flottant tout en restant calé sur son siège. Thus, it is <B> to </ B> using the tip of the feet that the user maneuver his floating craft while staying stalled on his seat.

Dans une autre forme de réalisation, le siège comprend un harnais (non représenté) maintenant l'utilisateur sur son siège. In another embodiment, the seat comprises a harness (not shown) holding the user in his seat.

La transmission comprendra, de préférence, des cables <B>9</B> guidés par des poulies reliant le palonnier au gouvernail. The transmission will preferably include <B> 9 </ B> cables guided by pulleys connecting the rudder to the rudder.

L'utilisateur de cet engin pourra ainsi guider son embarcation malgré l'obligation de tenir les cordes du cerf volant. The user of this machine will be able to guide his boat despite the obligation to hold the ropes of the kite.

Le gouvernail sera, de préférence, amovible pour faciliter le transport de l'engin flottant. The rudder will preferably be removable to facilitate the transport of the floating craft.

Pour une bonne stabilité de l'engin flottant, celui-ci sera équipé d'une quille ou dérive<B>10</B> amovible relativement longue. For a good stability of the floating machine, it will be equipped with a keel or drift <B> 10 </ B> relatively long removable.

Pour éviter que l'engin flottant ne chavire, face au siège et au plus près de la face supérieure du dit engin, l'engin flottant comprend pour chaque corde du cerf volant une poulie<B>11</B> de renvoi permettant d'exercer la force de traction au plus près de son centre de gravité.To prevent the floating machine from capsizing, facing the seat and closer to the upper face of said machine, the floating device comprises for each rope of the kite a return pulley <B> 11 </ B> for exercise the traction force as close as possible to its center of gravity.

Les poulies au nombre de deux sont montées sur un support 12 flexible permettant d'orienter les poulies en fonction du sens du vent. The two pulleys are mounted on a flexible support 12 for orienting the pulleys according to the direction of the wind.
