Description

DEMOUNTABLE AND TRANSPORTABLE MIRADOR The invention relates to the field of watchtowers, or observation platforms, and more particularly watchtowers designed to be removable and transportable.

The watchtowers, arranged in height, provide a privileged observation point offering a better view of the environment. Used when hunting or observing animals, they minimize the risk of accident or perception of odors by game.

The watchtowers are conventionally fixed or difficult to move structures, encumbering the ease of changing the observation point and accelerating the degradation of said watchtowers.

Document FR 2783400 (Chapotot) describes, in order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, a traveling watchtower in the form of a trailer arranged vertically, so as to create a raised observation point.

Such a watchtower has, however, dimensions which do not allow it to circulate easily in narrow or winding paths, such as forest paths.

Document EP 1143102 (Andrey) describes a transportable watchtower comprising a retractable ladder secured at one end to a seat. The seat is configured to be pressed against a tree and held on the latter by a strap, so as to offer an observation point in height. When transporting this watchtower, the ladder is retracted on itself and the seat is detached from the ladder, so as to position it substantially parallel to the ladder.

The structure of this watchtower thus facilitates its transport. However, the seat only allows a user to sit in one direction, the user can only turn the bust and / or the head to increase his radius of vision and action, thus blocking, for example, the observation of the game arriving on the other side of the tree in relation to the watchtower.

Document US 2003/0209388 (Arsenault) describes a removable platform, capable of being fixed to a tree. The platform surrounds the tree, so as to offer a 360-degree field of vision to the user.

The platform includes a means of attachment to the trunk of the tree, provided with two half-rings secured at one end by a hinge and at another end by a bolt. Each half-ring comprises two screws, capable of being screwed into tapped holes in the half-ring, so as to secure the means of attachment to the trunk. The screws may also include a bit, capable of coming to bear against the trunk so as not to damage the tree.

The platform comprises a floor provided with two half-plates and brackets capable of penetrating into tubes of the fixing means and into tubes of the half-plates. The half-decks are fixed to each other.

The platform also includes reinforcements, fixed to the outer ends of the floor and to the trunk of the tree, below the fixing means.

[012] Such a platform is removable and offers the user a field of observation all around the tree. However, the size of the parts, in particular of the half-decks, complicates the transport, assembly and disassembly of the platform. In addition, such a platform does not include a railing or a roof ensuring, respectively, the safety as well as the comfort of the users present on the platform.

[013] A first objective is to propose a removable watchtower.

A second objective is to provide an easily transportable watchtower.

A third objective is to propose a watchtower whose assembly and disassembly can be carried out by a single person.

A fourth objective is to provide a watchtower ensuring the safety of its users.

A fifth objective is to propose a watchtower protecting individuals from the weather.

[018] A sixth objective is to provide a watchtower capable of camouflaging its users.

[019] A seventh objective is to provide a watchtower comprising a sleeping area for its users.

is shown a watchtower 1 comprising lower and the structure 3 an upper structure 3. The upper structure are fixed to a lower support 4. "upper" are used in this description in [024] The terms "vertical", arrangement of the watchtower 1, mounted on its support. [025] According to the embodiment repi has a substantially cylindrical shape, support 4 extends substantially vertically.

[026] wood, telephone, column, or candelabra or base

The support 4 is, for example, a metal or concrete drum, like a "horizontal reference to a tree, a pole an electric pole", the

The in or floor lamp.

[027] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower structure 2 and the upper structure 3 comprise, respectively, a lower fixing system 5 and a higher fixing system 6, intended to fix, respectively, the lower structure 2 and the upper structure 3 on the support 4.

[028] According to the illustrated embodiment, the lower fixing system 5 and the upper fixing system 6 are substantially identical. In different embodiments, the lower fixing system 5 and the upper fixing system 6 are different.

[029] According to the embodiment shown, the lower fixing system 5, respectively the upper fixing system 6, comprises two lower elements 7, respectively two upper elements 8, which can be joined together to form a closed profile. The lower elements 7 and the upper elements 8 are intended to surround the support 4.

According to different embodiments, the lower and upper fixing systems 5, 6, respectively comprise three lower and upper elements 7.8, or more than three lower and upper elements 7.8.

[031] According to the illustrated embodiment, the lower elements 7, respectively the upper elements 8, are substantially identical. The lower elements 7, respectively the upper elements 8, form a profile substantially in an arc.

According to different embodiments, the lower elements 7, respectively the upper elements 8, are different from one another.

The lower elements 7, respectively the upper elements 8, are joined together, for example, by bolts (not shown).

[034] According to different embodiments, the lower elements 7, respectively the upper elements 8, are, for example, secured to each other by means of a hinge and a locking means. In other embodiments, the lower and upper elements 7, 8 are joined together by a quick-release lever, comprising, for example, an eccentric lever or comprising a handle articulated to a threaded axis.

To increase the holding of the lower fixing system 5, respectively of the upper fixing system 6, on the support 4, the shape of the lower fixing system 5, respectively of the upper fixing system 6, is substantially imprinted the shape of the support 4.

According to the embodiment shown, in particular in Figures 3 and 4, the lower fixing system 5, respectively the upper fixing system 6, comprises screws 9. The screws 9 protrude towards the inside of the closed profile . The length of the projecting part of the screws 9 is capable of being modified, so as to abut against the support 4 or to be planted in the support 4, improving the behavior of the lower fixing system 5, respectively of the fixing system 6 upper, on the support 4. The screws 9 have a particular advantage when the lower fixing system 5, respectively the upper fixing system 6, and the support 4 do not have the same shape. The clamping screws 9 advantageously comprise an ergonomic end, for example, a thumbwheel, a lever or even a wing screw. The screws 9 are, advantageously, equidistant.

[037] According to different embodiments, the lower fixing system 5, respectively the upper fixing system 6, comprises a single screw 9.

[038] According to the embodiment shown, the screws 9 are adapted to be screwed into threaded holes 10 of the lower elements 7, respectively of the upper elements 8.

[039] According to different embodiments, one or more of the screws 9 include a tip 11 intended to come into contact with the support 4 and improve the behavior of the lower fixing system 5, respectively of the upper fixing system 6, on the support 4 without damaging the support 4. The end piece is, for example, made of rubber, in particular of chloroprene polymer (neoprene®).

According to embodiments not shown, in the case where the dimensions of the support 4 are much smaller than the dimensions of the lower fixing system 5 and / or the upper fixing system 6, provision may be made for fixing one or more corners to the support 4 by means, for example, of a ratchet strap. Each corner has a thin head and flares to its base, the head being oriented substantially towards the top of the support 4 and the base being oriented towards the bottom of the support 4, so that the lower fixing system 5,6 or higher fits and locks in translation downwards, along the support 4, on said corner (s). The corner (s) are thus arranged between the support 4 and said lower or upper fixing system 5, 6.

[041] The lower fixing system 5, respectively the upper fixing system 6, also includes inner lower fasteners 12, respectively inner upper fasteners 13, comprising an inner lower cavity 14, respectively an inner upper cavity 15.
