Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de rembobinage 5The present invention relates to a rewinding device 5

automatique pour fusil de chasse sous-marine ou autres applications similaires. automatic for underwater shotgun or other similar applications.

Elle se rapporte d'une manière générale au domaine industriel et commercial de la fabrication et de la diffusion d'équipements destinés en particulier aux plongeurs en mer ou en eau douce. It relates generally to the industrial and commercial field of the manufacture and distribution of equipment intended in particular for divers at sea or in freshwater.

Les fusils de chasse sous-marine comportent une poignée fixée à la partie arrière d'un fût muni à sa tête d'un moyen de fixation d'éléments élastiques, généralement désignés sous le nom de "sandows" destinés à être accrochés à un harpon, ou flèche, après avoir été tendus, de façon à propulser ledit harpon en direction du poisson à ferrer lorsque l'on appuie sur la détente prévue sur la poignée, ce qui a pour effet de libérer le harpon en agissant sur un mécanisme agencé pour le retenir tant que la détente est en position de repos. Underwater shotguns include a handle attached to the rear portion of a barrel provided at its head with a means for attaching elastic members, generally referred to as "bungees" for attachment to a harpoon , or arrow, after being stretched, so as to propel said harpoon towards the fish to shoe when pressing the trigger provided on the handle, which has the effect of releasing the harpoon by acting on a mechanism arranged to hold it as long as the trigger is in the rest position.

La tête du harpon est équipée d'un ardillon rabattant destiné à accrocher solidement le poisson. Un filin de retenue, le fil de drisse, fixé au harpon, 20 permet de récupérer ce dernier et éventuellement la proie en ça de tir réussi. The head of the harpoon is equipped with a folding barb designed to hang the fish securely. A retaining cord, the halyard, attached to the harpoon, 20 can recover the latter and possibly the prey in that successful shooting.

Dans les systèmes les plus couramment réalisés à ce jour, le fil de drisse reliant le harpon, ou flèche, au fusil de chasse sous-marine est traditionnelle-ment fixé sous ce dernier à l'aide d'une petite languette. Une seconde solution connue consiste a rembobiner le fil de drisse manuellement, au moyen d'un moulinet à manivelle monté sur le fusil. In the most commonly performed systems to date, the halyard wire connecting the harpoon, or arrow, underwater shotgun is traditionally fixed under it with a small tongue. A second known solution consists in rewinding the halyard wire manually, by means of a crank-mounted reel mounted on the rifle.

Ces deux solutions nécessitent une intervention manuelle de l'utilisateur. Both solutions require manual intervention by the user.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention a pour objectif de remédier à cet état de choses. Il permet en effet de rembobiner automatiquement le fil de drisse, éliminant ainsi une intervention manuelle en apportant une grande aisance à l'utilisation du fusil de chasse sous-marine. The device according to the present invention aims to remedy this state of affairs. It makes it possible to rewind the halyard wire automatically, thus eliminating manual intervention by making it easy to use the underwater shotgun.

Il est constitué d'un boîtier situé sous le fusil permettant de ramener le fil de drisse pour-la mise en place de la flèche, ledit boîtier contenant une première bobine où le fil de drisse est enroulé, et une seconde bobine, entraînée par la première et comportant un mécanisme à élastique ou à ressort spiral agencé pour se tendre lorsque la flèche est tirée à l'aide des sandows et déroule le fil de drisse, ce qui permet, lors de la remise en place de la flèche, le rembobinage automatique du fil de drisse grâce au mécanisme à élastique ou à ressort qui se détend. It consists of a housing located under the rifle to bring the halyard wire for the implementation of the boom, said housing containing a first reel where the halyard is wound, and a second reel, driven by the first and comprising a mechanism with elastic or spiral spring arranged to stretch when the arrow is pulled with the bungees and unrolls the halyard, which allows, when replacing the arrow, the automatic rewinding halyard wire thanks to the elastic or spring mechanism that relaxes.

Sur les dessins schématiques annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de formes de réalisation conforme à la présente demande: la figure 1 représente, vu de coté, un fusil de chasse sous-marine équipé du dispositif selon l'invention et les figures 2 et 3 représentent a plus grande échelle deux variantes du dispositif de rembobinage. In the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples of embodiments according to the present application: FIG. 1 represents, seen from the side, an underwater shotgun equipped with the device according to the invention and FIGS. 2 and 3 represent on a larger scale two variants of the rewinding device.

Le dispositif, figures 1 à 3, est constitué d'un boîtier 1 contenant le mécanisme de rembobinage du fil de drisse 2 et fixé sous le fusil 3 de chasse sous-marine, devant le pontet 4 de la détente. Pour permettre le tir de la flèche 5, ou harpon, le fusil 3 est équipé de sandows 6. The device, Figures 1 to 3, consists of a housing 1 containing the rewinding mechanism of the halyard wire 2 and fixed under the underwater hunting rifle 3, in front of the bridge 4 of the trigger. To allow the shooting of the arrow 5, or harpoon, the rifle 3 is equipped with bungees 6.

Il sera avantageusement prévu des guides fils 7 devant le boîtier 1 et a l'extrémité avant du fusil, dans le but de faciliter le passage du fil de drisse 2 du boîtier à la flèche 5. Advantageously, wire guides 7 are provided in front of the housing 1 and at the front end of the rifle, in order to facilitate the passage of the halyard wire 2 from the housing to the boom 5.

Le boîtier 1 de rembobinage automatique du fil de drisse 2 comprend une fixation 8 permettant de solidariser le boîtier 1 avec le fusil 3 et deux bobines 9, 10 fixées toutes deux sur un axe rotatif 11 vertical, ces deux bobines étant séparées par une paroi étanche 12 comportant un roulement étanche 13 permettant la traversée de l'axe 11 et déterminant un compartiment inférieur 14 et un compartiment supérieur 15 étanche. The casing 1 for automatic rewinding of the halyard wire 2 comprises a fastener 8 making it possible to secure the casing 1 with the rifle 3 and two coils 9, 10 both fixed on a vertical rotary axis 11, these two reels being separated by a leaktight wall 12 having a sealed bearing 13 for traversing the axis 11 and determining a lower compartment 14 and a sealed upper compartment.

Dans le compartiment étanche 15 du boîtier 1 se trouve une bobine 9 avec un mécanisme équipé de deux élastiques 16 fixées en croix sur des bâtons d'encrages 17 et passant par un orifice qui traverse l'axe 11. In the sealed compartment 15 of the housing 1 is a coil 9 with a mechanism equipped with two elastics 16 fixed in a cross on the inking rods 17 and passing through an orifice which passes through the axis 11.

Dans le compartiment inférieur 14 non étanche se trouve une bobine où le fil de drisse 2 est enroulé et sort du boîtier 1 par un orifice 18. In the lower compartment 14 not sealed is a coil where the halyard wire 2 is wound and leaves the housing 1 through an orifice 18.

Le boîtier 1 peut être intégré au fusil ou être amovible. The casing 1 can be integrated into the rifle or be removable.

Il peut être agencé de façon à ce que la bobine 10 recevant le fil de drisse 2 soit interchangeable. It can be arranged so that the coil 10 receiving the halyard thread 2 is interchangeable.

Selon une première variante d'exécution le mécanisme situé dans le compartiment étanche 15 est équipé d'un ressort à spiral au lieu des élastiques. According to a first variant embodiment the mechanism located in the sealed compartment 15 is equipped with a spiral spring instead of elastics.

Selon une autre variante d'exécution, le dispositif comporte un système de débrayage automatique enclenché à la demande par l'utilisateur et permettant de libérer la bobine 10 recevant le fil de drisse 2 tout en bloquant la seconde bobine 9. According to another variant embodiment, the device comprises an automatic disengaging system triggered on demand by the user and making it possible to release the reel 10 receiving the halyard thread 2 while blocking the second reel 9.

Le boîtier 1 peut être utilisé pour d'autres applications que le fusil de chasse sous-marine. Il pourra par exemple être utilisé pour des bouées de 15 signalisation de plongée ou pour des planches de surf. The housing 1 can be used for other applications than the underwater shotgun. It may for example be used for diving signaling buoys or for surfboards.

Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires. The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects that had not been obtained so far by similar devices.
