Le support de base du véhicule selon l'invention présente la forme générale aplatie et allongée d'une planche à voile. Une première utilisation possible est la pratique de la planche à voile. Dans cette application, on utilise l'un des trous borgnes pour y engager la base du mât pivotant, on engage une dérive dans le puits central rectangulaire et on emboîte dans le puits circulaire arrière un élément en forme de bouchon qui porte à sa partie inférieure un aileron. Le puits avant est obturé par un bouchon cylindrique qui comporte une trappe d'accès et qui sert de coffre de rangement.The base support of the vehicle according to the invention has the generally flattened and elongated shape of a windsurfing board. A first possible use is the practice of windsurfing. In this application, we use one of the blind holes to engage the base of the swivel mast, we engage a drift in the central rectangular well and we insert in the rear circular well a plug-shaped element which carries at its lower part a fin. The front well is closed by a cylindrical plug which has an access hatch and which serves as a storage chest.
Pour faciliter l'apprentissage de la planche à voile, on peut fixer sous chacun des deux ailerons latéraux un flotteur stabilisateur. D'autres utilisations d'un véhicule selon l'invention seront décrites en détail en référence aux dessins annexés qui montrent clairement les nombreuses applications possibles des véhicules selon l'invention, lesquelles sont obtenues grâce à des transformations faciles à réaliser qui se limitent à la substitution d'un ou plusieurs éléments interchangeables qu'il suffit d'emboîter dans les logements prévus à cet effet et de verrouiller.

Ce support comporte une coque ëtanche 1 de forme générale aplatie et allongée, symétrique par rapport à un axe longitudinal, qui est semblable à une planche à voile. Cette coque peut être réalisée en différents matériaux tels que bois, métal ou matières plastiques. De pré- férence cette coque est réalisée en matière plastique polymérisable, par exemple en résine de polyester stratifiée par de la fibre de verre, ce qui permet. d'obtenir une coque légère, ayant une bonne résistance mécanique et à la corrosion. De préférence, cette coque est remplie d'un matériau cellulaire rigide 8, à cellules fermées, de faible densité, ce qui rend la coque rigide et insubmersible. La largeur et l'épaisseur de la coque sont calculées compte tenu de la densité du matériau pour que la coque 1 ait une flottabilité suffisante pour porter sur l'eau au moins une personne et de préférence, plusieurs. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la coque 1 a par exemple une largeur moyenne de l'ordre de 70 cm, une longueur de l'ordre de 3,80 m et une épaisseur de l'ordre de 20 cm. Elle est remplie d'une mousse rigide ayant une densité de l'ordre de 0,03 ce qui lui confère une flottabilité de l'ordre de 300kg. La coque 1 a une forme fuselée et relevée vers l'avant, comme une étrave. Elle est plate dans sa majeure partie. A l'arrière, la coque 1 s'élargit et comporte, de chaque côté, un aileron latéral 2, qui a la forme d'une aile tronquée. On voit sur la figure 2 que les ailerons 2 sont plus minces que la coque et que la face supérieure desailerons est horizontale et prolonge la face supérieure de la coque. Chaque aileron est traversé de part en part par deux trous 6 destinés notamment à fixer sous chaque aileron un flotteur stabilisateur 7 qui augmente la stabilité latérale et facilite l'apprentissage de la planche à voile.Les figures 2 et 4 représentent une planche 1 équipée de deux stabilisateurs 7 fixés sous chacun des ailerons latéraux 2. On peut également utiliser les trous 6 pour fixer sous les ailerons deux coques latérales allongées qui permettent de transformer le véhicule en catamaran ou bien des patins ou des skis pour un véhicule qui doit glisser sur la neige ou sur la glace ou encore des roues latérales pour une utilisation comme char à voile ou comme véhicule terrestre.This support comprises a waterproof shell 1 of generally flattened and elongated shape, symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis, which is similar to a windsurfing board. This shell can be made of different materials such as wood, metal or plastic. Preferably, this shell is made of polymerizable plastic, for example polyester resin laminated with fiberglass, which allows. to obtain a light shell, having good mechanical and corrosion resistance. Preferably, this shell is filled with a rigid cellular material 8, with closed cells, of low density, which makes the shell rigid and unsinkable. The width and thickness of the hull are calculated taking into account the density of the material so that the hull 1 has sufficient buoyancy to carry on water at least one person and preferably several. By way of nonlimiting example, the shell 1 has for example an average width of the order of 70 cm, a length of the order of 3.80 m and a thickness of the order of 20 cm. It is filled with a rigid foam having a density of the order of 0.03 which gives it buoyancy of the order of 300kg. The hull 1 has a tapered shape and raised forward, like a bow. Most of it is flat. At the rear, the shell 1 widens and comprises, on each side, a lateral fin 2, which has the shape of a truncated wing. It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the fins 2 are thinner than the shell and that the upper face of the fins is horizontal and extends the upper face of the shell. Each fin is traversed right through by two holes 6 intended in particular to fix under each fin a stabilizing float 7 which increases lateral stability and facilitates the learning of windsurfing. FIGS. 2 and 4 represent a board 1 equipped with two stabilizers 7 fixed under each of the side fins 2. One can also use the holes 6 to fix under the fins two elongated side hulls which make it possible to transform the vehicle into a catamaran or else skates or skis for a vehicle which has to slide on the snow or ice or side wheels for use as a sand yacht or as a land vehicle.
Le corps de la coque 1 est traversé de part en part par deux puits verticaux circulaires 3 ayant par exemple un diamètre de 30 a 40 mm, qui sont destinés à recevoir des éléments interchangeables qui sont adaptés à chacun des usages et qui seront décrits ci-après. De préférence, les puits 3 sont légèrement tronconiques et ont un sommet dirigé vers le bas ce qui facilite la mise en place des éléments interchangeables et. le démontage de ceux-ci par le haut. La coque 1 comporte un puits central rectangulaire 5 visible sur les figures 1, 3 et 4. L'axe longitudinal du puits 5 est confondu avec l'axe longitudinal de la planche 1 : les parois avant et arrière du puits 5 convergent l'une vers l'autre comme on le voit sur la figure 3. La planche 1 comporte en outre, le long de l'axe longitudinal, plusieurs trous borgnes 4, par exemple 4 trous, qui débouchent sur la face supêrieure. Les puits 3 et les trous 4 comportent de préférence un contrealésage qui forme un épaulement périphérique autour de l'extrémité supérieure de chacun d'eux.The body of the shell 1 is traversed right through by two circular vertical wells 3 having for example a diameter of 30 to 40 mm, which are intended to receive interchangeable elements which are adapted to each of the uses and which will be described below. after. Preferably, the wells 3 are slightly frustoconical and have a top directed downwards which facilitates the installation of the interchangeable elements and. disassembly of these from above. The shell 1 has a rectangular central well 5 visible in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4. The longitudinal axis of the well 5 coincides with the longitudinal axis of the board 1: the front and rear walls of the well 5 converge one towards the other as seen in Figure 3. The plate 1 further comprises, along the longitudinal axis, several blind holes 4, for example 4 holes, which open on the upper face. The wells 3 and the holes 4 preferably have a counterbore which forms a peripheral shoulder around the upper end of each of them.
La figure 5 représente un exemple d'utilisation d'un support de base 1 selon l'invention comme partie constitutive d'une planche à voile. Pour cette application, la coque 1 est équipée d'un ensemble de propulsion 14 constitué par un mât articulé, équipé d'une voile et d'une bδme cintrée. Le pied du mât articulé est engagé dans l'un des trous borgnes 4. Un élément 13 en forme de bouchon tronconique, portant à sa partie inférieure un aileron vertical 13a, est emboîté et verrouillé dans le puits arrière. Un élément ou module 10, ayant la forme d'un caisson étanche, est emboîté dans le puits avant 3. Le caisson comporte de préférence une trappe ou une porte à sa partie supérieure permettant d'accéder à l'intérieur du caisson de sorte que celui-ci peut servir de coffre de rangement. Le puits central 5 est équipé d'une dérive 11 pivotante.FIG. 5 represents an example of the use of a base support 1 according to the invention as part of a windsurfing board. For this application, the hull 1 is equipped with a propulsion assembly 14 consisting of an articulated mast, equipped with a sail and a curved boom. The foot of the articulated mast is engaged in one of the blind holes 4. An element 13 in the form of a frustoconical plug, carrying at its lower part a vertical fin 13a, is fitted and locked in the rear well. An element or module 10, in the form of a sealed box, is fitted into the front well 3. The box preferably comprises a hatch or a door at its upper part allowing access to the interior of the box so that it can be used as a storage chest. The central well 5 is equipped with a pivoting fin 11.
Cette dérive comporte à son extrémité supérieure un patin 12 qui peut coulisser dans deux rainures longitudinales situées le long des deux bords supérieurs du puits central 5. Lorsqu'on arrive sur une plage, le bord avant de la dérive qui a une forme arrondie roule le long de la paroi avant du puit,s 5, le patin 12 coulisse vers l'avant et la dérive se rabat d'elle-même vers l'arrière. En variante, on peut placer deux ensembles propulseurs 14 dans les deux trous borgnes 4 situés à l'avant et à l'arrière pour obtenir une planche à voiles à deux places. La figure 6 représente un exemple d'utilisation d'une coque selon l'invention comme partie constitutive d'un engin nautique de promenade à pédales actionnant une hélice. Le puits avant 3 est équipé d'un élément de propulsion comportant un socle tronconique qui est emboîté dans le puits 3 et qui comporte des pédales qui actionnent un ensemble de transmission 1 multiplicateur de mouvement comportant un pignon denté et une vis sans fin. La vis sans fin entraîne un dispositif pivotant 16 qui comporte un arbre de transmission, un renvoi d'angle et une hélice 16a. Le dispositif pivotant 16 peut être orienté en le faisant pivoter autour d'un axe vertical au moyen d'une commande à cable 17 qui est reliée à un levier de commande. Le pivotement du dispositif 16 permet de diriger le véhicule. Le puits central 5 reçoit un siège 18, par exemple un siège à deux places disposées dos à dos. Le siège 18 est fixé à la coque 1 au moyen d'un socle trapézoïdal 19 qui est emboîté dans le puits central 5. Un goupillage permet de déplacer le siège vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière. Le puits arrière 3 est équipé d'un élément 13 en forme de caisson tronconique qui est analogue à celui qui est utilisé sur la planche à voile selon la figure 5. La figure 7 représente une application d'une coque 1 comme support de base d'un véhicule nautique motorisé.This fin has at its upper end a shoe 12 which can slide in two longitudinal grooves located along the two upper edges of the central well 5. When arriving on a beach, the front edge of the fin which has a rounded shape rolls the along the front wall of the well, s 5, the shoe 12 slides forward and the fin automatically folds back. As a variant, two propellant assemblies 14 can be placed in the two blind holes 4 located at the front and at the rear to obtain a two-seat sailboard. FIG. 6 represents an example of the use of a hull according to the invention as a constituent part of a nautical craft for pedaling trips actuating a propeller. The front well 3 is equipped with a propulsion element comprising a frustoconical base which is fitted into the well 3 and which comprises pedals which actuate a transmission assembly 1 movement multiplier comprising a toothed pinion and a worm. The worm screw drives a pivoting device 16 which comprises a drive shaft, a bevel gear and a propeller 16a. The pivoting device 16 can be oriented by rotating it around a vertical axis by means of a cable control 17 which is connected to a control lever. The pivoting of the device 16 makes it possible to steer the vehicle. The central well 5 receives a seat 18, for example a seat with two places arranged back to back. The seat 18 is fixed to the shell 1 by means of a trapezoidal base 19 which is fitted into the central well 5. A pin enables the seat to be moved forwards or backwards. The rear well 3 is equipped with an element 13 in the form of a frustoconical box which is analogous to that which is used on the windsurf board according to FIG. 5. FIG. 7 represents an application of a hull 1 as base support d '' a motorized nautical vehicle.
Dans cet exemple, le puits central 5 est équipé du même élément à double siège 18 que dans le cas de la figure 6.In this example, the central well 5 is equipped with the same double seat element 18 as in the case of FIG. 6.
Le puits arrière 3 est équipé d'un élément interchangeable 9 qui comporte un moteur de hors bord 9 incorporé dans un socle tronconique qui s'emboîte dans le puits 3. Le puits avant 3 est équipé d'un socle tronconique 20 qui est emboîté dans le puits et qui porte à sa partie inférieure un gouvernail 20a. L'élément 20 comporte à sa partie supérieure deux appuis de pied 20b qui permettent de faire pivoter l'élément autour d'un axe vertical pour le diriger avec les pieds. En variante, on peut réaliser un engin moto-nautique à grande vitesse en l'équipant d'un moteur de hors-bord 9 relativement puissant et dans ce cas, le passager est allongé sur la planche et on fixe à chacun des ailerons 2 un flotteur allongé dont l'extrémité avant est reliée à la coque 1 par une tige transversale. Un tel engin peut se déplacer sur l'eau très rapidement et il peut servir à aller porter secours d'urgence à des personnes en difficulté, ou pour entraîner des pilotes de courses moto-nautiques. Selon une autre variante, l'élément propulseur 9 peut être remplacé par un propulseur orientable comportant une hélice aérienne et dans ce cas, on supprime le gouvernail 20a. Un tel véhicule peut glisser sur l'eau et sur la glace et passer très facilement d'un plan d'eau à une surface glacée. Il est particulièrement intéressant pour porter rapidement secours à des patineurs sur glace en difficulté, par exemple à des patineurs qui tombent dans un trou d'eau. La figure 8 représente une autre application d'une coque 1 selon l'invention comme support de base d'un petit véhicule de promenade sur l'eau, permettant de regarder l'eau ou d'explorer les fonds sous-marins. Dans cet exemple, l'un des puits 3 est équipé d'un élément ayant un fond transparent et un couvercle amovible â sa partie supérieure. Un occupant couché sur la planche peut observer sous l'eau à travers le fond transparent du hublot 21. On peut également placer dans le hublot 21 un appareil photographique ou une caméra pour prendre des vues sous-marines.The rear well 3 is equipped with an interchangeable element 9 which comprises an outboard motor 9 incorporated in a frustoconical base which fits into the well 3. The front well 3 is equipped with a frustoconical base 20 which is fitted into the well and which carries a rudder 20a at its lower part. The element 20 has at its upper part two foot supports 20b which allow the element to pivot around a vertical axis to direct it with the feet. As a variant, a motor-nautical machine at high speed can be produced by equipping it with a relatively powerful outboard motor 9 and in this case, the passenger is lying on the board and a fin is attached to each of the fins 2. elongated float whose front end is connected to the shell 1 by a transverse rod. Such a machine can move on water very quickly and it can be used to go to bring emergency help to people in difficulty, or to train drivers of motor-nautical races. According to another variant, the propellant element 9 can be replaced by an orientable propellant comprising an aerial propeller and in this case, the rudder 20a is eliminated. Such a vehicle can slide on water and on ice and pass very easily from a body of water to an icy surface. It is particularly interesting to quickly rescue skaters on ice in difficulty, for example skaters who fall into a water hole. FIG. 8 represents another application of a hull 1 according to the invention as the basic support of a small vehicle for cruising on the water, making it possible to look at the water or to explore the seabed. In this example, one of the wells 3 is equipped with an element having a transparent bottom and a removable cover at its upper part. An occupant lying on the board can observe underwater through the transparent bottom of the porthole 21. It is also possible to place in the porthole 21 a camera or a camera for taking underwater views.
L'autre puits 3 est équipé d'un élément de propulsion 22 qui comporte par exemple un petit moteur électrique avec sa batterie entraînant une hélice 22a. La figure 9 représente un exemple d'application d'un support 1 selon l'invention comme châssis d'un véhicule terrestre â chenillettes en caoutchouc ou en matière plastique par exemple pour effectuer des promenades sur la neige ou sur la glace.The other well 3 is equipped with a propulsion element 22 which comprises for example a small electric motor with its battery driving a propeller 22a. FIG. 9 represents an example of application of a support 1 according to the invention as a chassis for a land vehicle with rubber or plastic tracks, for example for taking walks on snow or on ice.
Dans cet exemple, le puits avant 3 est équipé d'un élément de propulsion 23 com ortant un moteur et des or anes de transmission ui entraînent les roues crantées entraînant les deux chenillettes24 placées de part et d'autre du châssis.In this example, the front well 3 is fitted with a propulsion element 23 including a motor and transmission ores which cause the notched wheels driving the two tracks 24 placed on either side of the chassis.
Le puits central 5 est équipé d'un siège double18 comme dans le cas des figures 6 et 7. Le puits arrière 3 est équipé d'un coffre 10 analogue à celui de la figure 5.The central well 5 is equipped with a double seat 18 as in the case of FIGS. 6 and 7. The rear well 3 is equipped with a trunk 10 similar to that of FIG. 5.
Les chenillettes sont montées sur un parallélogramme articulé qui permet de les soulever de telle sorte que la coque 1 appuie sur le sol et le véhicule peut dévaler une pente enneigée ou glacée. La figure 10 représente un exemple d'applications d'une coque 1 selon l'invention comme châssis support d'un char â voile monté sur roues. Dasn cette application, le. puits avant 3 est équipé d'un élément interchangeable comportant un socle tronconique 25 qui est engagé et verrouillé dans le puits. Le socle 25 porte un ensemble de propulsion 27 composé d'un mât, d'une bδme et d'une voile. Il porte également une roue directrice 26. En variante, le mât 27 peut être engagé dans l'un des trous borgnes 4 situés au milieu de la planche. Le puits arrière 3 est équipé d'un élément interchangeable comportant un socle tronconique 28 qui est emboîté et verrouillé dans le puits et qui porte, d'une part, un siège 29 sur lequel prend -place un pilote et, d'autre part, un essieu muni de deux roues 30. L'essieu est supporté par des bras obliques 31 qui sont fixés aux trous 6 des ailerons latéraux.The tracks are mounted on an articulated parallelogram which makes it possible to lift them so that the hull 1 presses on the ground and the vehicle can descend a snowy or icy slope. FIG. 10 represents an example of applications of a hull 1 according to the invention as a support frame for a sailing yacht mounted on wheels. In this application, the. front well 3 is equipped with an interchangeable element comprising a frustoconical base 25 which is engaged and locked in the well. The base 25 carries a propulsion assembly 27 composed of a mast, a boom and a sail. It also carries a steering wheel 26. As a variant, the mast 27 can be engaged in one of the blind holes 4 located in the middle of the board. The rear well 3 is equipped with an interchangeable element comprising a frustoconical base 28 which is fitted and locked in the well and which carries, on the one hand, a seat 29 on which a pilot takes place and, on the other hand, an axle provided with two wheels 30. The axle is supported by oblique arms 31 which are fixed to the holes 6 of the lateral fins.
En variante, les roues 26 et 30 peuvent être remplacées par d'autres organes de locomotion tels que des patins ou des skis et on obtient, alors, un char à voiles qui peut se déplacer sur la glace ou sur la neige.As a variant, the wheels 26 and 30 can be replaced by other locomotion members such as skates or skis and one obtains, then, a chariot with sails which can move on ice or on snow.
La figure 11 représente en vue éclatée différentes possibilités d'utilisation d'une coque 1 selon l'invention. Chaque application est représentée par une lettre et les flèches indiquent les emplacements des éléments interchangeables qui doivent être utilisés pour chaque application. La lettre A correspond à une planche à voile simple (fig.5), la lettre B à une planche à voile à deux occupants, la lettre C à un engin nautique à pédale (fig.6), la lettre D à un engin nautique motorisé (fig.7), la lettre E à un char à voiles sur roues (fig.10), la lettre F à un char à voiles sur glace ou sur neige. Figure 11 shows in exploded view different possibilities of using a shell 1 according to the invention. Each application is represented by a letter and the arrows indicate the locations of the interchangeable elements which must be used for each application. The letter A corresponds to a simple windsurfing board (fig. 5), the letter B to a windsurfing board with two occupants, the letter C to a pedal-powered nautical device (fig. 6), the letter D to a nautical device motorized (fig. 7), the letter E to a sailboat on wheels (fig.10), the letter F to a sailboat on ice or on snow.
