Description

Ensemble plateau-support pour navire Ship support tray assembly
La présente invention a trait au domaine des équipements pour navires et concerne plus particulièrement un ensemble plateau-support pour navire, notamment de plaisance, dans lequel le support est destiné à être solidarisé à la structure du navire et, lorsque l'ensemble est assemblé, à porter le plateau pour former une table. Cet ensemble plateau-support est particulièrement adapté pour une utilisation à bord d'un voilier.The present invention relates to the field of equipment for ships and relates more particularly to a tray-support assembly for ships, in particular pleasure craft, in which the support is intended to be secured to the structure of the ship and, when the assembly is assembled, to carry the tray to form a table. This tray-support assembly is particularly suitable for use on board a sailboat.
Dans un voilier, le « cockpit » est souvent par beau temps, lors d'une phase de mouillage, le lieu privilégié pour se restaurer.In a sailboat, the "cockpit" is often in good weather, during a mooring phase, the privileged place to eat.
Dans ce but, il est typiquement fait usage d'une table pliante que l'on installe généralement entre deux coffres qui font office de banquettes. Cette table, en dehors des repas, est généralement rangée pliée dans un des coffres du cockpit.For this purpose, it is typically made use of a folding table which is generally installed between two chests which act as benches. This table, apart from meals, is generally stored folded in one of the cockpit lockers.
Bien que d'usage pratique, ce type de table, présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients. D'une part, bien que pliante, la table occupe un volume relativement important dans son espace de rangement, alors qu'elle n'est utilisée que durant les phases de repas au mouillage. D'autre part, ce type de table n'étant généralement pas fixée à la structure du navire, elle peut présenter une certaine instabilité provoquée par exemple par le roulis.Although practical, this type of table has a number of drawbacks. On the one hand, although folding, the table occupies a relatively large volume in its storage space, while it is only used during the meal phases at anchor. On the other hand, since this type of table is not generally fixed to the structure of the ship, it may have a certain instability caused for example by rolling.
On peut alors envisager d'installer une table pliante à demeure dans le cockpit, cette table étant composée d'un support fixé à la structure du navire de façon non amovible et d'un plateau repliable.We can then consider installing a permanently folding table in the cockpit, this table being composed of a support fixed to the structure of the ship in a non-removable manner and a folding tray.
Cependant une telle table présente l'inconvénient d'être encombrante lorsqu'elle n est pas utilisée, notamment durant les phases de manœuvre du navire Compte tenu de cet inconvénient, un tel dispositif est souvent proscrit sur les voiliers de course-croisièreHowever, such a table has the disadvantage of being cumbersome when not in use, in particular during the maneuvering phases of the ship Given this drawback, such a device is often prohibited on cruising-racing sailboats
Par ailleurs, on a pu observer qu'il était difficile pour les équipiers de s'arrimer dans le cockpit, en raison de l'absence de points d'ancrage pour les lignes de vie des harnais de sécuritéFurthermore, it was observed that it was difficult for the crew members to stow in the cockpit, due to the absence of anchor points for the lifelines of the safety harnesses.
En outre, on a pu remarquer que les cockpits de voiliers souffraient d'un déficit en dispositifs d'arrimage permettant de suspendre ou de maintenir des objets divers, par exemple des sacs Enfin, les cockpits se caractérisent par l'absence de main courante dans leur partie médianeIn addition, it has been noted that the cockpits of sailboats suffered from a deficit in stowage devices making it possible to suspend or hold various objects, for example bags Finally, cockpits are characterized by the absence of a handrail in their middle part
Des observations similaires à celles mentionnées ci-dessus peuvent être faites en ce qui concerne l'intérieur des navires, et notamment en ce qui concerne le carré. La présente invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients et lacunes mentionnés ci-dessus des équipements pour navires, et à procurer les avantages qui seront décrits infra.Similar observations to those mentioned above can be made with regard to the interior of the ships, and in particular with regard to the saloon. The present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks and shortcomings mentioned above of equipment for ships, and to provide the advantages which will be described below.
A cet effet, I invention a pour objet un ensemble plateau-support pour navire, notamment de plaisance, dans lequel le support est destiné à être solidarisé à la structure du navire et, lorsque l'ensemble est assemblé, à porter le plateau pour former une tableTo this end, the subject of the invention is a tray-support assembly for a ship, in particular a pleasure craft, in which the support is intended to be secured to the structure of the ship and, when the assembly is assembled, to carry the tray to form a table
Conformément à l'invention l'ensemble plateau-support est caractérisé en ce que le plateau comporte des moyens de fixation amovible sur le support, le support s'inscπvant globalement dans un plan vertical, et étant en outre adapté pour servir indépendamment du plateau, d'une part, de moyen d'accrochage et/ou de maintien et, d'autre part, de main courante.In accordance with the invention, the tray-support assembly is characterized in that the tray comprises removable fixing means on the support, the support being generally inserted in a vertical plane, and being further adapted to serve independently of the tray, on the one hand, hooking and / or holding means and, on the other hand, handrail.
Grâce à ces dispositions la présente invention pallie les inconvénients précitésThanks to these provisions, the present invention overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks
En effet, le plateau étant fixé de façon amovible sur le support, il peut donc être enlevé et rangé, par exemple dans un coffre, lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, notamment durant les phases de manœuvre. Dans cette configuration, l'encombrement de l'ensemble plateau-support, alors réduit au support, est significativement diminué. Par ailleurs, le fait que le support s'inscrive globalement dans un plan vertical permet de limiter la surface qu'il occupe sur la structure du navire, ce qui contribue encore à diminuer l'encombrement de l'ensemble. Par ailleurs, toujours dans la configuration dans laquelle le support est utilisé sans le plateau, le support peut être avantageusement utilisé comme main courante ou bien comme point d'ancrage pour des lignes de vie de harnais de sécurité, contribuant ainsi à renforcer la sécurité des équipiers, en particulier durant les phases de manœuvre par mer formée. Le support peut également servir en mer de moyen d'arrimage ou de maintien de sacs ou d'objets variés. Il peut aussi servir de moyen pour suspendre, par exemple, des bacs ou des vide-poches.Indeed, the tray being removably attached to the support, it can therefore be removed and stored, for example in a trunk, when not in use, especially during the maneuvering phases. In this configuration, the size of the tray-support assembly, then reduced to the support, is significantly decreased. Furthermore, the fact that the support fits generally in a vertical plane makes it possible to limit the surface it occupies on the structure of the ship, which further contributes to reducing the overall size. Furthermore, still in the configuration in which the support is used without the tray, the support can be advantageously used as a handrail or as an anchor for lifelines of safety harnesses, thus helping to reinforce the safety of team members, in particular during maneuvering phases in heavy seas. The support can also be used at sea as a means of securing or holding bags or various objects. It can also be used as a means of hanging, for example, bins or storage compartments.
Enfin, de part ses caractéristiques, l'ensemble plateau-support conforme à l'invention peut être avantageusement utilisé dans un cockpit ou dans un carré de navire.Finally, due to its characteristics, the tray-support assembly according to the invention can be advantageously used in a cockpit or in a saloon.
Dans un mode de réalisation, un ensemble plateau-support conforme à l'invention comprend un support qui est solidarisé de façon amovible à la structure du navire. Ainsi, il sera possible de ranger l'ensemble, dissocié ou non, de façon à procurer un gain supplémentaire de place ou de conserver le support pour profiter de sa fonction de main courante et de moyen de maintien ou d'arrimage.In one embodiment, a tray-support assembly according to the invention comprises a support which is removably secured to the structure of the ship. Thus, it will be possible to store all, dissociated or not, so as to provide an additional gain of space or to keep the support to take advantage of its function of handrail and means of holding or stowage.
Dans un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, le support est avantageusement en forme de « U » retourné dont les deux branches verticales sont solidarisées à leur extrémité, à la structure du navire. De cette façon, l'encombrement latéral du support est réduit au maximum et, d'autre part, de part sa forme très simple, son coût de fabrication est faible.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support is advantageously in the form of an inverted "U", the two vertical branches of which are secured to their end, to the structure of the ship. In this way, the lateral size of the support is reduced to the maximum and, on the other hand, because of its very simple shape, its manufacturing cost is low.
Dans ce mode de réalisation, les branches verticales du support pourront être tubulaires et emmanchées dans la structure du navire. Ainsi, d'une part, la fixation du support sur la structure du navire est aisée à mettre en œuvre, et d'autre part, ce mode de fixation peut être rendu amovible facilement.In this embodiment, the vertical branches of the support may be tubular and fitted into the structure of the ship. Thus, on the one hand, the fixing of the support on the structure of the ship is easy to implement, and on the other hand, this method of fixing can be made removable easily.
Selon une variante de réalisation, le support comporte une barre horizontale reliant les deux branches verticales du support pour faire office de cale-pieds. En effet, cette barre permet avantageusement de servir de cale-pieds aux équipiers, lorsque ceux-ci sont assis sur les banquettes de part et d'autre du support, en particulier en cas de gîte importante. En outre, cette barre accroît la rigidité globale du support. Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, cette barre est agencée à une hauteur d'environ dix centimètres de la structure du navire.According to an alternative embodiment, the support comprises a horizontal bar connecting the two vertical branches of the support to act as footrests. Indeed, this bar advantageously makes it possible to serve as toe clips for team members, when they are seated on the benches on either side of the support, in particular in the event of a large list. In addition, this bar increases the overall rigidity of the support. In a preferred embodiment, this bar is arranged at a height of about ten centimeters from the structure of the ship.
Selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, le plateau est fixé au support au moyen d'un caisson de liaison creux ouvert vers le bas, formant un logement qui s'emboîte sur le support. De cette façon, la fixation amovible du plateau sur le support est simple et rapide à mettre en œuvre.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the plate is fixed to the support by means of a hollow connection box open at the bottom, forming a housing which fits on the support. In this way, the removable fixing of the tray on the support is simple and quick to implement.
Dans ce mode de réalisation, on pourra prévoir un plateau constitué de deux panneaux, chacun desquels étant solidarisé latéralement à un bord latéral de la face supérieure du caisson de liaison par un moyen d'articulation permettant à chacun des panneaux d'être repliable verticalement vers le bas. De cette façon, lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, le plateau replié peut être facilement rangé, ou laissé sur le support tout en réduisant l'encombrement de l'ensemble.In this embodiment, it is possible to provide a tray consisting of two panels, each of which being secured laterally to a lateral edge of the upper face of the connection box by a hinge means allowing each of the panels to be folded vertically towards the bottom. In this way, when not in use, the folded tray can be easily stored, or left on the support while reducing the size of the assembly.
En pratique, on pourra prévoir que chacun des moyens d'articulation mentionnés ci-dessus comporte un moyen de pivotement destiné à assurer le pivotement du panneau correspondant par rapport au caisson, et un moyen de verrouillage assurant le verrouillage du panneau correspondant en position horizontale. Ainsi il sera aisé et rapide de faire passer le plateau de la position repliée à la position déployée et inversement.In practice, provision may be made for each of the articulation means mentioned above to comprise a pivoting means intended to ensure the pivoting of the corresponding panel relative to the box, and a locking means ensuring the locking of the corresponding panel in a horizontal position. Thus it will be easy and quick to pass the tray from the folded position to the deployed position and vice versa.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description ci-après d'un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, faite en relation avec les dessins annexés dans lesquels :Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the description below of a preferred embodiment of the invention, made in relation to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un cockpit de voilier dans lequel seul un support conforme à l'invention est monté ;- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sailboat cockpit in which only a support according to the invention is mounted;
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective du cockpit de la figure 1 dans lequel un plateau conforme à l'invention est assemblé avec le support ;- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the cockpit of Figure 1 in which a tray according to the invention is assembled with the support;
- la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du cockpit de la figure 2 dans lequel le plateau, assemblé sur le support, est montré en position repliée. Dans le mode de réalisation choisi et représenté aux figures, le navire dans lequel l'ensemble plateau-support objet de l'invention est utilisé est un voilier. En effet, l'invention est particulièrement bien adaptée à une application dans ce type de navire. Cependant l'invention peut être avantageusement utilisée dans tout type de navires.- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the cockpit of Figure 2 in which the tray, assembled on the support, is shown in the folded position. In the embodiment chosen and shown in the figures, the ship in which the tray-support assembly object of the invention is used is a sailboat. Indeed, the invention is particularly well suited to an application in this type of ship. However, the invention can be advantageously used in any type of ship.
En référence à la figure 1 , un cockpit 1 de voilier comporte un support 20 selon l'invention, solidarisé à la structure 13 du navire.Referring to Figure 1, a sailboat cockpit 1 comprises a support 20 according to the invention, secured to the structure 13 of the ship.
Conformément à l'invention, le support 20 s'inscrit globalement dans un plan vertical. Par ailleurs, le support 20, tel que représenté sur la figure 1 , est utilisé sans son plateau. Ce dernier sera décrit plus loin en liaison avec la figure 2.In accordance with the invention, the support 20 is essentially inscribed in a vertical plane. Furthermore, the support 20, as shown in Figure 1, is used without its tray. The latter will be described later in conjunction with FIG. 2.
Dans cette configuration le support 20, de par sa forme et sa structure, est adapté pour servir d'une part de moyen d'accrochage et/ou de maintien, par exemple calage de sacs à voiles, arrimage de cordages ou de lignes de vie, suspension de bacs ou de vide-poches etc., et d'autre part de main courante.In this configuration, the support 20, by its shape and structure, is adapted to serve on the one hand as a hooking and / or holding means, for example wedging of sail bags, securing of ropes or lifelines , suspension of bins or storage compartments etc., and on the other hand of handrail.
Dans le mode de réalisation choisi et représenté à la figure 1 , le support 20 est en forme de « U » retourné dont les deux branches verticales 201 a et 201 b sont solidarisées, à leur extrémité, à la structure 13 du navire. La partie supérieure 205 du support 20 est horizontale.In the embodiment chosen and shown in FIG. 1, the support 20 is in the form of an inverted "U", the two vertical branches 201 a and 201 b of which are secured, at their end, to the structure 13 of the ship. The upper part 205 of the support 20 is horizontal.
A titre d'exemple, dans la figure 1 , on a représenté, suspendus à la partie horizontale 205 du support 20, un bac 51 et un vide-poches 53.By way of example, in FIG. 1, there is shown, suspended from the horizontal part 205 of the support 20, a container 51 and a storage compartment 53.
Dans ce mode de réalisation, le support 20 est solidarisé de façon fixe à la structure 13 du navire par un moyen approprié non représenté. Cette disposition rend le support inamovible par rapport à la structure du navire sur laquelle il repose, ce qui est avantageux lorsque le support exerce sa fonction de main courante ou de dispositif d'arrimage ou d'accrochage, par exemple pour des harnais de sécurité.In this embodiment, the support 20 is fixedly secured to the structure 13 of the ship by a suitable means not shown. This arrangement makes the support irremovable with respect to the structure of the ship on which it rests, which is advantageous when the support exercises its function of handrail or stowage or attachment device, for example for safety harnesses.
Cependant, conformément à une variante de l'invention, le support 20 peut être solidarisé de façon amovible à la structure du navire.However, according to a variant of the invention, the support 20 can be removably secured to the structure of the ship.
Dans ce but et à titre d'exemple de réalisation, on pourra utiliser des branches verticales 201a, 201 b de forme tubulaire qui seront fixées à la structure du navire par emmanchement Un dispositif de verrouillage, non représenté, et constitué par exemple par une clavette peut alors être utilisé Ces dispositions permettent à l'utilisateur de décider d'utiliser ou non le moyen de maintien ou d'arrimage constitué par le support 20 Dans le mode de réalisation choisi et représenté a la figure 1 , le support 2 est constitué d'une structure tubulaire de section circulaire Par ailleurs, le support 2 comporte une barre horizontale 203 reliant les deux branches verticales 201a, 201 b du support, pour servir de cale-pieds aux équipiers du navire, lorsque ceux-ci sont assis sur des banquettes 1 1 du cockpit 1 situées de part et d'autre du support 20 Cette barre est particulièrement utile en cas de gîte importante En outre, la barre 203 accroît la rigidité globale du support 20 La barre 203 est de préférence soudée aux branches verticales Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, la barre 203 est fixée aux branches verticales 201 a-b, a une hauteur d'environ dix centimètres de la structure 13 du navireFor this purpose and as an exemplary embodiment, it is possible to use vertical branches 201a, 201 b of tubular shape which will be fixed to the structure of the vessel by fitting A locking device, not shown, and constituted for example by a key can then be used These provisions allow the user to decide whether or not to use the means of retention or stowage constituted by the support In the embodiment chosen and represented in FIG. 1, the support 2 consists of a tubular structure of circular section. Furthermore, the support 2 comprises a horizontal bar 203 connecting the two vertical branches 201a, 201b of the support, to serve as footpegs for the ship's crew, when they are seated on benches 1 1 of the cockpit 1 located on either side of the support 20 This bar is particularly useful in the event of large heeling In addition, the bar 203 increases the overall rigidity of the support 20 The bar 203 is preferably welded to the vertical branches In a preferred embodiment, the bar 203 is fixed to the vertical branches holds 201 ab, at a height of about ten centimeters from the structure 13 of the ship
En liaison maintenant avec la figure 2, on va décrire un plateau conforme à l'invention destiné à être assemble avec le support décrit ci-dessus en relation avec la figure 1Now in connection with FIG. 2, a tray will be described in accordance with the invention intended to be assembled with the support described above in relation to FIG. 1
Conformément à l'invention, le plateau 30 comporte des moyens de fixation amovible sur le support 20According to the invention, the plate 30 includes removable fixing means on the support 20
Selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, le plateau 30 est fixé amovible sur le support 20 au moyen d'un caisson de liaison 301 parallélépipédique creux ouvert vers le bas Le caisson de liaison 301 forme un logement qui s'emboîte sur le support 20 en englobant la partie horizontale 205 du support et une portion de chaque branche verticale du support De par ce système de fixation, on peut rapidement assembler et désassembler le plateau du supportAccording to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the plate 30 is removably fixed on the support 20 by means of a hollow parallelepipedic connection box 301 open downwards. The connection box 301 forms a housing which fits on the support 20 including the horizontal part 205 of the support and a portion of each vertical branch of the support By this fixing system, one can quickly assemble and disassemble the support plate
De façon à assurer l'efficacité de l'emboîtement, on pourra prévoir que le caisson de liaison s'emboîte sur le support selon une profondeur correspondant à une portion de la longueur de chaque branche verticale du support comprise entre 1/3 et 1/2 de la longueur totale de la brancheIn order to ensure the effectiveness of the nesting, provision may be made for the connection box to nest on the support at a depth corresponding to a portion of the length of each vertical branch of the support between 1/3 and 1 / 2 of the total length of the branch
Selon une variante de réalisation, on peut prévoir, de manière à ajuster et verrouiller la fixation du caisson de liaison 301 sur le support 20, des clavettes 305. Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, les clavettes 305 sont au nombre de deux et traversent respectivement la face antérieure et la face postérieure du caisson 301 et, selon le cas, la branche verticale antérieure 201a et la branche verticale postérieure 201 b.According to an alternative embodiment, one can provide, so as to adjust and lock the attachment of the connection box 301 to the support 20, keys 305. According to a preferred embodiment, the keys 305 are two in number and respectively pass through the front face and the rear face of the box 301 and, according to the case, the anterior vertical branch 201a and the posterior vertical branch 201 b.
Conformément à l'invention, le plateau 30 est constitué de deux panneaux 303a, 303b, chacun desquels étant solidarisé latéralement à un bord latéral de la face supérieure du caisson de liaison 301. Par ailleurs, un moyen d'articulation permet à chacun des deux panneaux 303a-b d'être repliable verticalement vers le bas, et un moyen de verrouillage assure le verrouillage de chaque panneau 303a, 303b en position horizontale.According to the invention, the plate 30 consists of two panels 303a, 303b, each of which being secured laterally to a lateral edge of the upper face of the connection box 301. Furthermore, an articulation means allows each of the two panels 303a-b to be folded vertically downwards, and a locking means ensures the locking of each panel 303a, 303b in a horizontal position.
En pratique, chacun des moyens de pivotement peut être constitué d'une charnière (non représentée), et chacun des moyens de verrouillage est constitué d'une barre de fixation (non représentée) reliée, à une extrémité, de façon pivotante à la face inférieure du panneau correspondant, et, à l'autre extrémité, reliée de façon amovible à la face latérale correspondante du caisson de liaison. Ces moyens sont classiques et ne seront pas décrits ici.In practice, each of the pivoting means can consist of a hinge (not shown), and each of the locking means consists of a fixing bar (not shown) connected, at one end, pivotally to the face bottom of the corresponding panel, and, at the other end, detachably connected to the corresponding side face of the connection box. These means are conventional and will not be described here.
De cette façon, lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, le plateau 30 peut être replié et soit rangé soit laissé sur le support 20, ce qui permet de réduire l'encombrement de l'ensemble plateau-support dans le cockpit. Le plateau de la figure 2 est représenté en configuration repliée et assemblé au support, sur la figure 3.In this way, when not in use, the tray 30 can be folded up and either stored or left on the support 20, which makes it possible to reduce the size of the tray-support assembly in the cockpit. The tray of FIG. 2 is shown in the folded configuration and assembled to the support, in FIG. 3.
Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, le plateau et le caisson de liaison sont réalisés majoritairement en bois. Le support est quant à lui, constitué d'une structure métallique tubulaire creuse. On pourra, par exemple, réaliser le support en aluminium pour allier légèreté et rigidité, ce qui est souhaitable notamment pour une application de l'invention à la navigation à voile de course.According to a preferred embodiment characteristic, the plate and the connection box are mainly made of wood. The support is made up of a hollow tubular metallic structure. We can, for example, make the aluminum support to combine lightness and rigidity, which is desirable in particular for an application of the invention to racing sail navigation.
Bien entendu, de nombreuses modifications peuvent être apportées au mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté et décrit supra sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. En particulier, la cavité du caisson de liaison 301 qui s'emboîte sur la partie horizontale du support 20 pourra « épouser » la forme de la partie horizontale du support, de manière à former un manchon, ou au contraire être de dimensions plus grandes que celles de la partie horizontale 205 du support. Dans ce dernier cas, on pourra utiliser un dispositif à base de glissières ou de cornières, ou tout autre dispositif équivalent, permettant d'assurer une fixation efficace du caisson de liaison 301 sur le support 20. Par ailleurs, la partie horizontale 205 du support sur laquelle s'emboîte le caisson de liaison pourra être prévue significativement plus courte dans le sens longitudinal que le caisson, de manière à pouvoir aménager des tiroirs aux extrémités antérieure et postérieure du caisson de liaison. Of course, many modifications can be made to the embodiment of the invention shown and described above without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the cavity of the connection box 301 which fits on the horizontal part of the support 20 can “marry” the shape of the horizontal part of the support, so as to form a sleeve, or on the contrary be of dimensions larger than those of the horizontal part 205 of the support. In the latter case, it is possible to use a device based on slides or angles, or any other equivalent device, making it possible to ensure effective attachment of the connection box 301 to the support 20. Furthermore, the horizontal part 205 of the support on which fits the connection box may be provided significantly shorter in the longitudinal direction than the box, so as to be able to arrange drawers at the front and rear ends of the connection box.
