Abstract

The leak closure has an inflatable envelope (7) to be placed in the opening. The envelope can have a feed for air or gas passing through a rigid inner tube (11) connected to an inflating pump or tank. The envelope can be contained in a casing which can be ejected. The envelope can have an annular reinforcing strip (8) which can be of dense foam rubber.

Description

<B>La</B> présente <B>invention</B> concerne <B>un dispositif</B> destiné <B>aveugler rapidement une</B> <B>voie d'eau ouverte dans la coque d'un navire.</B> <B> The <B> present <B> invention </ B> relates to <B> a device </ B> intended <B> to quickly blind a </ B> <B> open waterway in the hull of a ship. </ B>

<B>Les dispositifs traditionnels d'aveuglement d'une voire d'eau consistent soit en</B> <B>l'utilisation de</B> pinoches <B>en bois de différentes dimensions, soit en l'utilisation d'une</B> <B>voile ou d'un morceau de</B> tissu, <B>soit en l'utilisation d'un composé de</B> résine polymérisable à<B>l'eau et d'une éponge</B> imbibée <B>de la dite résine.</B> <B> The traditional devices for blinding one or even water consist of either </ B> <B> the use of <B> wooden sticks <B> of different sizes, or the use of 'a </ B> <B> veil or a piece of </ B> fabric, <B> either in the use of a compound of </ B> polymerizable resin to <B> water and d 'a sponge soaked <B> of the said resin. </ B>

<B>Ces dispositifs présentent l'inconvénient du temps de leur mise en</B> aeuvre <B>rendant ainsi l'opération d'aveuglement de la voie d'eau préjudiciable à la</B> sécurité <B>du</B> <B>navire.</B> <B> These devices have the disadvantage of the time of their setting <B> aeuvre <B> thus making the operation of blindness of the waterway detrimental to the <B> security <B> of </ B> / B> <B> ship. </ B>

<B>Le</B> dispositif <B>selon l'invention</B> permet <B>de</B> remédier <B>ces</B> inconvénients. <B> The <B> device <B> according to the invention </ B> allows <B> to <B> remedy <B> these </ B> disadvantages.

<B>II comporte deux parties assemblées l'une constituant en un système de baudruche</B> <B>gonflable destiné à être introduit dans la brèche ouverte dans la coque du navire, l'autre</B> <B>constituant le mécanisme technique utilisant de l'air comprimé permettant</B> <B>la mise en</B> pression <B>et le gonflage automatique de la</B> baudruche. <B> It consists of two assembled parts, one constituting an inflatable ballooning system intended to be inserted into the open breach in the hull of the ship, the other constituting </ B> <B> the technical mechanism using compressed air allowing <B> <B> <B> pressure <B> and automatic inflation of the balloon.

<B>Ce dispositif d'aveuglement rapide de vole d'eau est constitué d'un tube</B> <B>cylindrique assemblé en deux parties solidaires. La bouteille de</B> réserve <B>d'air comprimé</B> (co2), (1),est <B>visée à un</B> mécanisme <B>de</B> percussion <B>actionné par un levier (2) après</B> <B>brisure par traction sur le levier d'un lien de</B> sécurité <B>(3).</B> <B> This device for rapid water flow blindness consists of a cylindrical tube assembled in two integral parts. Bottle of <B> compressed air </ B> (co2), (1), is <B> referred to <B> <B> mechanism <B> percussion <B > actuated by a lever (2) after </ B> <B> breaking by pulling on the lever of a <B> security <B> link (3). </ B>

<B>Le gaz est libéré par la percussion de l'opercule par l'aiguille</B> à<B>ressort (4) qui</B> <B>perfore la partie frontale visée de la cartouche de gaz. L'air comprimé libéré se détend</B> <B>et s'échappe par le tube d'injection (5). Le gaz (col) passe par le tube</B> perforé <B>(11) et</B> gonfle <B>la baudruche (7) placée et maintenue dans la vole d'eau de la coque du navire par</B> <B>le tube (11) et son embout en caoutchouc (12) qui empêche la perforation de la</B> <B>baudruche (7).</B> <B> The gas is released by the percussion of the seal by the needle </ B> to <B> spring (4) which </ B> <B> pierces the intended front end of the gas cartridge. The compressed air released relaxes and escapes through the injection tube (5). The gas (neck) passes through the perforated tube <B> (11) and </ B> inflates <B> the balloon (7) placed and held in the water flask of the ship's hull by < The tube (11) and its rubber tip (12) which prevents the perforation of the balloon (7). </ B>

<B>La</B> baudruche <B>en</B> caoutchouc <B>(7) est sur sa partie annulaire (8)</B> entourée <B>d'une</B> <B>bande de</B> mousse <B>caoutchoutée dense</B> destinée à<B>renforcer la baudruche (7) pour éviter</B> <B>tout déchirement avec les parties saillantes dues</B> à<B>la brisure de la coque du navire (10).</B> <B> The <B> rubber <B> <B> (7) is on its annular part (8) <B> surrounded by <B> a <B> <B> dense <b> rubberized foam <B> band </ B> to reinforce the balloon (7) to avoid any tearing with the protruding parts due to <B> <B> > breaking the hull of the ship (10). </ B>

<B>Cette bande de renforcement (8) est elle même recouverte d'une mousse</B> polymérisable <B>à l'eau (9) contenue dans le tube de protection (13) qui se</B> déchire <B>au</B> <B>moment de la mise en</B> pression <B>par le levier (2), lequel tube est composé d'une matière</B> <B>soluble à l'eau, et protégée par un emballage de protection plastique étanche.</B> <B> This reinforcing strip (8) is itself covered with a polymerizable foam <B> with water (9) contained in the protection tube (13) which is </ B> torn < <B> <B> <B> <B> moment <B> pressure <B> by the lever (2), which tube is composed of a matter </ B> <B> soluble in water , and protected by a waterproof plastic protective packaging. </ B>

<B>Cette mousse</B> polymérisable <B>à l'eau permet l'adhésion forte à la coque perforée</B> <B>(10) et</B> renforce <B>le système d'aveuglement de la voie d'eau mis en</B> oeuvre <B>par le</B> <B>gonflement de la baudruche (7).</B> <B> This water-curable <B> foam allows strong adhesion to the perforated shell </ B> <B> (10) and <B> strengthens <B> the blindness system of the waterway put in <B> work <B> by the </ B> <B> swelling of the balloon (7). </ B>

<B>Le dispositif permet l'aveuglement rapide</B> total <B>ou partiel d'une voie d'eau due à</B> <B>une perforation de la coque d'un navire</B> <B>Selon l'invention le dispositif est</B> réalisable <B>en</B> plusieurs <B>dimensions permettant</B> <B>d'aveugler des voies d'eau de tailles</B> différentes. <B>A titre d'exemple non</B> limitatif <B>le dispositif</B> <B>aura des dimensions de l'ordre de 4 centimètres de diamètre et une longueur de 30</B> <B>centimètres.</B> <B> The device allows the partial or complete <B> or partial blindness of a waterway due to <b> piercing the hull of a ship </ b> </ b> B> According to the invention the device is </ B> achievable <B> in </ B> several <B> dimensions allowing </ B> <B> to blind waterways of different sizes </ B> . <B> As a non-limiting example <B> the device </ B> <B> will have dimensions of about 4 centimeters in diameter and a length of 30 </ B> <B> cm. </ B>

<B>Le dispositif selon</B> l'invention <B>est particulièrement</B> destiné à<B>la plaisance</B> à<B>voile ou</B> <B>à moteur et aux</B> embarcations <B>de toutes natures et de toutes compositions.</B> <B> The device according to </ B> the invention <B> is particularly </ B> intended for <B> Pleasure </ B> to <B> Sail or </ B> <B> to motor and to <B> boats <B> of all natures and all compositions. </ B>
