Abstract

The device has a large tank (1) on which is adhered a small size tank (2) presenting splines (3) on its edge. Each spline holds a ring (4) to which is attached a snap hook (5). The snap hook is connected to an end of a rope (6) which permits to place the device at a leak on a hull of a boat and to maintain the device in place by fastening another end of the rope to a fixed point of the boat.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour obstruer une voie d'eauThe present invention relates to a device for obstructing a waterway

sur un bateau à flots ou enon a boat with waves or

navigation afin de réduire considérablement l'entrée d'eau dans la coque et d'éviter que le bateau coule. navigation to significantly reduce the entry of water into the hull and prevent the boat from sinking.

Aucun dispositif n'est actuellement prévu pour éviter l'entrée d'eau extérieure en cas de perforation anarchique de la coque. Seules les pinoches sont actuellement disponibles et efficaces pour l'obstruction des perforations de formes circulaires mais elles requièrent une intervention directe sur la coque de l'intérieur ou de l'extérieur. Rien n'est prévu pour les déchirures de coques de formes accidentées. No device is currently planned to prevent the entry of external water in case of anarchic perforation of the hull. Only the sticks are currently available and effective for the obstruction of circular-shaped perforations but they require a direct intervention on the shell of the inside or the outside. Nothing is planned for torn hulls of rough shapes.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ce problème. Il comporte en effet une bâche qui s'applique contre la coque d'un bateau au niveau d'une voie d'eau, bâche à laquelle sont attachés un minimum de quatre cordages que l'on amarre à un point fixe et qui servent à maintenir fermement la bâche en place. La pression de l'eau de mer sur le patch étant plus importante que la pression à l'intérieur de la coque, elle plaque le dispositif contre la coque et assure l'étanchéité. The device according to the invention overcomes this problem. It includes a tarpaulin that is applied against the hull of a boat at a waterway, tarpaulin to which are attached a minimum of four ropes moored at a fixed point and used to hold the tarpaulin firmly in place. The pressure of the seawater on the patch is greater than the pressure inside the hull, it clings the device against the hull and seals.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: - la bâche peut être composée de deux toiles superposées et de dimensions différentes, la grande pouvant se trouver au-dessous, la petite pouvant être collée dessus. According to particular embodiments: - the tarpaulin can be composed of two superimposed canvases and different dimensions, the large can be below, the small can be glued on.

- la bâche de petite taille pouvant être découpée de façon à former régulièrement sur son pourtour un minimum de quatre languettes. - The small size tarpaulin can be cut to form regularly on its periphery a minimum of four tabs.

- un anneau pouvant être passé autour de chaque languette qui pourra alors être rabattue et collée sur la petite bâche de façon à enserrer chaque anneau et à le fixer sur la bâche. - A ring that can be passed around each tab which can then be folded and glued to the small sheet so as to grip each ring and fix it on the tarpaulin.

- un cordage pouvant être fixé à chaque anneau au moyen d'un mousqueton noué à l'une de ses extrémités. - a rope that can be attached to each ring by means of a carabiner tied at one of its ends.

Afin d'assurer une meilleure étanchéité, le dispositif sera de préférence dépourvu de coutures. In order to ensure a better seal, the device will preferably be free of seams.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: La figure 1 représente, de face, le dispositif de l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents, from the front, the device of the invention.

La figure 2 représente le dispositif en place sur la coque d'un bateau. Figure 2 shows the device in place on the hull of a boat.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comprend une grande bâche (1) sur laquelle est collée une bâche de taille inférieure (2) dans laquelle est formé un minimum de quatre languettes (3) enserrant chacune un anneau (4) pourvu d'un mousqueton (5) rattaché à un cordage (6) qui permet de placer le dispositif à l'endroit de la voie d'eau sur la coque d'un bateau (7) et de le maintenir en place en amarrant l'autre extrémité de ces cordages à un point fixe (8) du bateau. Referring to these drawings, the device comprises a large tarpaulin (1) on which is bonded a lower-size tarpaulin (2) in which is formed a minimum of four tongues (3) each enclosing a ring (4) provided with a carabiner (5) attached to a rope (6) which allows the device to be placed at the location of the waterway on the hull of a boat (7) and to hold it in place by mooring the other end of these ropes at a fixed point (8) of the boat.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif: - la grande bâche aura une taille supérieure de 8 à 15 cm et de préférence 10 cm à celle de la petite bâche, formant ainsi une bavette (9) qui pourra ensuite être collée ou clouée à la coque; - les anneaux seront au nombre de quatre minimum, placés sur le pourtour de la petite bâche tous les 30 à 50 cm selon la taille de la grande bâche; - la longueur des cordages sera suffisante pour permettre de les faire passer sous la coque du bateau auquel le dispositif est destiné, puis de les amarrer à un point fixe du bateau afin de maintenir le dispositif en place. Les cordages seront de couleurs différentes, ce qui permet d'identifier le haut et le bas du dispositif lors de sa mise en place et d'en faciliter le positionnement. By way of non-limiting example: the large sheet will have a size greater than 8 to 15 cm and preferably 10 cm to that of the small tarpaulin, thus forming a bib (9) which can then be glued or nailed to the shell ; - the rings will be four minimum, placed around the perimeter of the small tarpaulin every 30 to 50 cm depending on the size of the large tarpaulin; - The length of the ropes will be sufficient to allow them to pass under the hull of the boat to which the device is intended, then to moor them at a fixed point of the boat to keep the device in place. The ropes will be of different colors, which makes it possible to identify the top and the bottom of the device when it is put in place and to facilitate its positioning.

Claims

1) Device for obstructing a waterway on the hull of a boat, characterized in that it comprises a large tarpaulin (1) on which is glued a tarpaulin of smaller size (2) having on its periphery tongues ( 3), each enclosing a ring (4) to which is hooked a carabiner (5) connected to the end of a rope (6) which allows the device to be placed at the location of the waterway on the hull. a boat (7) and hold it in place by tying the other end of this rope to a fixed point of the boat (8).
