Center-board or rudder blade for a sailing boat is stiffened by incorporating a pultruded reinforcing profile embedded in a high-density foam filling in the principal plane of symmetry of the center-board or rudder blade.

Description

La présente invention est relative aux dérives, safrans ou lames équipantThe present invention relates to drifts, rudders or blades equipping

les voiliers monocoques ou multicoques. Comme on le sait, la dérive est un aileron amovible qui lorsqu'il est en place empêche à l'embarcation de s'écarter de sa direction d'une part et d'autre part le safran ou lame est la pièce principale du gouvernail qui permet de diriger l'embarcation en créant un effort hydrodynamique antagoniste de direction définie par son orientation et différente à celle de l'effort aérodynamique créé par le vent sur la voilure, la résultante de ces deux efforts définissant la trajectoire de l'embarcation. Lors d'une utilisation forcée de l'embarcation, par exemple en régates, cette dérive et ce safran ou lame sont soumis à des efforts importants et variés et peuvent en conséquence entrer en vibration risquant casse ou détérioration et limitant les performances de l'embarcation. De manière classique, ces dérives, safrans ou lames sont constitués de deux demi-coques (1) moulées en gelcoat et tissus de verre ou carbone incorporant deux demi-pièces de remplissage (2) en mousse haute densité, le tout étant assemblé au moyen de résine (3), tel que représenté en figure 1. Chaque demi-coque est obtenue par moulage contact : le fond de moule est d'abord recouvert de gelcoat, puis des tissus de verre ou carbone sont disposés de la manière la plus adéquate possible et imprégnés de résine. Après polymérisation de la résine, les demi-coques sont extraites de leur moule, découpées et ajustées pour qu'elles se joignent parfaitement et poncées. Le remplissage de mousse haute densité en deux demi-pièces est totalement ou partiellement usiné pour remplir au mieux l'espace compris entre les deux demi-coques. L'une des demi-pièces du remplissage est alors placée et collée par la résine dans l'une des demi-coques, de même la deuxième demi-pièce du remplissage est placée et collée dans la deuxième demi-coque. Les plans de joint de chaque demi-coque munie de sa partie de remplissage sont poncés puis enduits de résine pour que l'ensemble soit reconstitué par collage sous pression des deux demi-coques. Si besoin, un ponçage de finition de la ligne de joint des demi-coques est effectué pour garantir sa perfection. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet à la dérive, safran ou lame d'avoir une plus grande rigidité et en conséquence de repousser les limites d'utilisation, permettant à l'embarcation d'atteindre des vitesses plus élevées sans risque de casse ou détérioration et sans entrer en vibration. L'augmentation de la rigidité est obtenue par la mise en place d'un ou plusieurs profilés de grande rigidité au coeur du remplissage de mousse haute densité. Tel que représenté en figure 2 coupe selon AA et en figure 3 coupe selon BB, la dérive, safran ou lame selon l'invention est constitué de deux demi- coques (1) moulées par le procédé au contact en gelcoat et tissus de verre ou carbone, d'un remplissage (2) en au moins deux demi-parties symétriques en mousse haute densité, d'un ou plusieurs profilés renfort (4) pultrudés en fibres de carbone ou de polyamide aromatique plus connu sous le nom de kevlar placé dans un espace créé au plan de joint des deux demi-parties du remplissage en mousse haute densité, le plan de symétrie principal du profilé renfort ou de l'assemblage de profilés renfort étant confondu avec celui de la dérive, safran ou lame fini, le tout étant assemblé au moyen d'une résine (3) de collage. On rappelle que la pultrusion est un procédé de fabrication permettant l'obtention de profilés de section constante constitués de fibres continues orientées selon le sens long liées entre elles par une résine thermodurcissable ; dans le cas présent pour obtenir un profilé de très grande rigidité, la fibre choisie est celle de carbone ou celle de polyamide aromatique l'une ou l'autre ou les deux mélangées à un taux d'incorporation compris entre 30 et 90%.  monohull or multihull sailboats. As we know, the drift is a removable fin that when in place prevents the boat from deviating from its direction on the one hand and secondly the saffron or blade is the main part of the rudder that allows to direct the boat by creating a hydrodynamic effort antagonistic direction defined by its orientation and different to that of the aerodynamic force created by the wind on the wing, the result of these two efforts defining the trajectory of the boat. During a forced use of the boat, for example in regattas, this drift and saffron or blade are subjected to significant and varied efforts and can therefore enter vibration that may break or deteriorate and limit the performance of the boat . Conventionally, these fins, rudders or blades consist of two half-shells (1) molded in gelcoat and glass or carbon fabrics incorporating two half-pieces of filling (2) high density foam, all being assembled by means of resin (3), as shown in Figure 1. Each half-shell is obtained by contact molding: the mold bottom is first covered with gelcoat, then glass or carbon fabrics are arranged in the most appropriate manner possible and impregnated with resin. After polymerization of the resin, the half-shells are extracted from their mold, cut and adjusted so that they join perfectly and sanded. The high density foam filling in two half-pieces is totally or partially machined to best fill the space between the two half-shells. One of the half-pieces of the filling is then placed and glued by the resin in one of the half-shells, and the second half-piece of the filling is placed and glued in the second half-shell. The joint planes of each half-shell provided with its filling part are sanded and then coated with resin so that the assembly is reconstituted by gluing under pressure of the two half-shells. If necessary, a finishing sanding of the joint line of the half-shells is carried out to guarantee its perfection. The device according to the invention allows the drift, saffron or blade to have greater rigidity and consequently to push the limits of use, allowing the boat to reach higher speeds without risk of breakage or deterioration and without going into vibration. The increase in rigidity is achieved by the establishment of one or more sections of high rigidity in the heart of the high density foam filling. As represented in FIG. 2, section AA, and FIG. 3, section BB, the drift, saffron or blade according to the invention consists of two half-shells (1) molded by the gelcoat and glass fabric contact method. carbon, a filling (2) in at least two symmetrical half symmetrical high density foam parts, one or more reinforcing profiles (4) pultruded carbon fiber or aromatic polyamide better known as kevlar placed in a space created at the joint plane of the two half-parts of the high-density foam filling, the main plane of symmetry of the reinforcing section or the reinforcement profile assembly coinciding with that of the drift, saffron or finished blade, the whole being assembled by means of a resin (3) for gluing. It is recalled that pultrusion is a manufacturing method for obtaining profiles of constant section consisting of continuous fibers oriented in the long direction bonded together by a thermosetting resin; in the present case to obtain a profile of very high rigidity, the selected fiber is that of carbon or that of aromatic polyamide one or the other or both mixed with a degree of incorporation of between 30 and 90%.

Le procédé de fabrication de la dérive, safran ou lame selon l'invention n'est pas fondamentalement différent de celui des dérives, safrans ou lames actuels. L'obtention d'un produit de caractéristiques améliorées se trouve donc facilité : les demi-coques sont obtenues comme ci-dessus (page 1, lignes 15 à 19), le remplissage en mousse haute densité est obtenu en deux demi-pièces moulées ou totalement ou partiellement usinées sur leur face extérieure et usinées sur leur face intérieure pour créer le logement du ou des profilés renfort. La demi-pièce du remplissage correspondante à la demi-coque est placée et collée à l'intérieur de celle-ci, puis le ou les profilés renfort placés et collés dans leur logement, simultanément la deuxième demi-pièce du remplissage est placée et collée dans la deuxième demi-coque. Les plans de joint de chaque demi-coque munie de sa partie de remplissage et pour l'une d'elles du ou des profilés renfort sont poncés puis enduits de résine pour que l'ensemble soit reconstitué par collage sous pression des deux demi-coques. Si besoin, un ponçage de finition de la ligne de joint des demi-coques est effectué pour garantir sa perfection  The manufacturing method of the drift, saffron or blade according to the invention is not fundamentally different from that of current drifts, rudders or blades. Obtaining a product with improved characteristics is therefore facilitated: the half-shells are obtained as above (page 1, lines 15 to 19), the high-density foam filling is obtained in two molded half-pieces or totally or partially machined on their outer face and machined on their inner face to create the housing or reinforcement profiles. The half-piece of the filling corresponding to the half-shell is placed and glued to the inside thereof, then the reinforcing profile or profiles placed and glued in their housing, simultaneously the second half-piece of the filling is placed and glued in the second half-hull. The joint planes of each half-shell provided with its filling part and for one of them or reinforcing profiles are sanded and then coated with resin so that the assembly is reconstituted by pressure bonding of the two half-shells . If necessary, a finishing sanding of the joint line of the half-shells is carried out to guarantee its perfection
