La deuxième partie -le flotteur- reliée à la première partie -le récepteur- par le câble électrique (5) comporte une cavité d'air (11) qui le permet de flotter en surface une fois largué par le plongeur, et d'une antenne (12) recevant les signaux satellitaires. Le dispositif selon l'inventions est particulièrement destiné à aider les plongeurs sous-marins à retrouver un point fixe préalablement mémorisé par le module électronique du dispositif en utilisant les signaux satellitaires tel ceux du système GPS.The invention relates to a device enabling an underwater diver to navigate precisely to a fixed point previously stored. It consists of a housing with two separable parts. The first part -the receiver-comprises an electronic calculation module (1) with control buttons (2) and a display screen (3) data. This part also comprises a reel (4) of an electric cable (5). The second part - the float - connected to the first part - the receiver - by the electric cable (5) has an air cavity (11) which allows it to float on the surface once dropped by the plunger, and a antenna (12) receiving the satellite signals.

Description

1 Le présente invention concerne un dispositif pour retrouver à l'aide d'un système de géopositionnement par stellites tel le GPS, la direction et la distance à un point fixe pendant le déplacement d'un plongeur submergé ou en surface. Un plongeur peut perdre la direction de retour vers un point fixe: bateau, mouillage ou côte. La navigation d'un plongeur sous-marin se fait traditionnellement à vue ou en cas de visibilité insuffisante, à l'aide d'une boussole ou compas. L'utilisation traditionnelle d'une boussole ou d'un compas en plongée sous-marine n'est pas parfois assez précise, et ne donne pas la distance au point de retour. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il permet de retrouver précisément la direction et de connaître la distance à un point fixe préalablement mémorisé par le dispositif. Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation, il comporte un boîtier divisé en deux parties séparables. La première partie -le récepteur - contient un module électronique de calcul et d'affichage de la direction et de la distance à un point mémorisé au préalable par le module électronique avec de boutons permettant sa commande sous l'eau. Il comporte également un enrouleur de câble électrique. La deuxième partie -le flotteur- est reliée à la première par le câble électrique contient une antenne recevant les signaux satellitaires et une cavité contenant de l'air afin de maintenir l'antenne en surface. Le plongeur largue le flotteur qui remonte vers la surface et peut nager en tirant du câble.The present invention relates to a device for retrieving with the help of a stellite-based system such as GPS, the direction and the distance to a fixed point during the displacement of a submerged or surface-mounted diver. A diver may lose the return direction to a fixed point: boat, anchor or coast. The navigation of a submarine diver is traditionally done on sight or in case of insufficient visibility, using a compass or compass. The traditional use of a compass or compass in scuba diving is sometimes not precise enough, and does not give the distance to the point of return. The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It allows to find precisely the direction and to know the distance to a fixed point previously memorized by the device. According to particular embodiments, it comprises a housing divided into two separable parts. The first part - the receiver - contains an electronic module for calculating and displaying the direction and distance to a point previously memorized by the electronic module with buttons allowing its control under water. It also has an electric cable reel. The second part - the float - is connected to the first by the electrical cable contains an antenna receiving satellite signals and a cavity containing air to keep the antenna on the surface. The diver drops the float up to the surface and can swim by pulling the cable.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: la figure 1 représente le dispositif de l'invention fermé. La figure 2 représente le dispositif ouvert. La figure 3 représente le dispositif éclaté montrant le flotteur, le corps contenant le module électronique et l'enrouleur du câble électrique.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the device of the closed invention. Figure 2 shows the open device. Figure 3 shows the exploded device showing the float, the body containing the electronic module and the reel of the electric cable.

Les figures 4, 5 et 6 représentent une variante du dispositif. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un première partie contenant le module électronique (1), les boutons (2) permettant la commande sous l'eau du module électronique et l'affichage par un écran (3) des informations générés par le dit module. Il comporte également un enrouleur (4) du câble électrique (5). L'enrouleur a une poigné (6) permettant d'enrouler le câble électrique. Le câble est protégé par un châssis (7) comportant des encoches pour permettre la prise avec la main (8) et un anneau (9) pour permettre la fixation 3033052 du dispositif à l'équipement du plongeur à l'aide d'une dragonne et un orifice (10) permettant la sortie et la rentrée du câble électrique. La deuxième partie du dispositif comporte une cavité d'air (11) lui permettant de flotter en surface et qui contient l'antenne (12) de réception des signaux satellitaires. Il comporte 5 également une partie du boîtier (13) servant à la fixation sur la première partie du boîtier. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le dispositif complet et fermé aura une dimensions de 11 cm de diamètre et de 8 cm d'hauteur. Le câble aura une longueur de 20 mètres. Le dispositif selon l'inventions est particulièrement destiné à aider les plongeurs sous-marins à retourner à un point fixe préalablement mémorisé par le module électronique du 10 dispositif en utilisant les signaux satellitaires tel ceux du système GPS ou d'autres systèmes satellitaires de géopositionnement.Figures 4, 5 and 6 show a variant of the device. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a first part containing the electronic module (1), the buttons (2) allowing the underwater control of the electronic module and the display by a screen (3) of the information generated by the said module. It also comprises a reel (4) of the electric cable (5). The reel has a handle (6) for winding the electric cable. The cable is protected by a frame (7) with notches to allow grip with the hand (8) and a ring (9) to allow attachment 3033052 of the device to the equipment of the diver using a hand strap and an orifice (10) for the exit and retraction of the electric cable. The second part of the device comprises an air cavity (11) allowing it to float on the surface and which contains the antenna (12) for receiving the satellite signals. It also comprises a part of the housing (13) for attachment to the first part of the housing. By way of non-limiting example, the complete and closed device will have a size of 11 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height. The cable will have a length of 20 meters. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to help underwater divers to return to a fixed point previously stored by the electronic module of the device using satellite signals such as those of the GPS system or other satellite systems of geopositioning.
