Abstract
La présente invention concerne un dispositif dénommé navire commercial équipé d'un gréement duplex permettant d'utiliser l'énergie éolienne en tant que force motrice du navire. La particularité de ce dispositif est d'utiliser un gréement constitué de mâts solidaires en position jumelée, chaque mât étant placé sur les côtés de la coque au lieu de la position classique centrale, un navire pouvant contenir plusieurs couples de mâts duplex. Cette disposition des mâts présente plusieurs avantages, dont celui de réduire l'emprise des mâts sur la structure, celui de laisser un espace optimal au chargement, celui d'offrir une meilleure emprise au vent, celui de réduire le gîte, et celui de positionner les mâts en des points structuraux très robustes. Un haubanage transversal et longitudinal assorti d'entretoises robustes entre les mâts duplex assure une très grande robustesse à l'ensemble. Optionnellement, grâce au haubanage garantissant l'assise mécanique du gréement, les mâts peuvent être à la base montés sur des articulations permettant un démontage ou un basculement facilitant la maintenance et la navigation en zone à faible tirant d'air (fleuves, embouchures, voies maritimes...).The present invention relates to a device called a commercial ship equipped with a duplex rig making it possible to use wind energy as the driving force of the ship. The particularity of this device is to use a rigging made up of integral masts in the twin position, each mast being placed on the sides of the hull instead of the classic central position, a ship being able to contain several pairs of duplex masts. This arrangement of the masts has several advantages, including that of reducing the grip of the masts on the structure, that of leaving an optimal space for loading, that of offering a better grip in the wind, that of reducing the heel, and that of positioning masts at very robust structural points. A transverse and longitudinal bracing matched with robust spacers between the duplex masts ensures a very high robustness to the whole. Optionally, thanks to the guying guaranteeing the mechanical seat of the rigging, the masts can be originally mounted on articulations allowing disassembly or tilting facilitating maintenance and navigation in areas with low air draft (rivers, mouths, routes sea ...).

DESCRIPTION
La marine marchande est une industrie très consommatrice de pétrole et un important émetteur de Gaz à
Effet de Serre (GES). Cette industrie est très sensible au cours du pétrole et peu conforme aux règles environnementales et lois sur la protection de l'environnement qui s'annoncent pour les années à venir.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif dénommé
navire commercial équipé d'un gréement duplex permettant d'équiper un navire commercial de type cargo tels que roulier, porte-conteneurs, pétrolier, ou ferry, afin que celui-ci utilise la puissance éolienne comme force motrice primaire ou secondaire. Cette invention permet de remédier à
la dépendance de la marine conventionnelle vis-à-vis du pétrole et de réduire de façon très importante la consommation de pétrole et la pollution en remplaçant la propulsion traditionnelle par une propulsion utilisant l'énergie éolienne gratuite et non polluante.
L'implantation classique des mats(2) sur un navire est centrale et alignée selon l'axe longitudinal(3) du navire (fig.la). Un navire commercial équipé d'un gréement duplex (fig.2) propose une implantation des mâts non pas de façon centrale, mais par paires solidaires, chaque mât d'une paire duplex étant positionné de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal(3) (fig.lb). La position typique est de positionner les mâts sur une droite(4) perpendiculaire à cet axe et à égale distance de celle-ci, le plus près possible de la coque pour profiter de la grande rigidité de la structure de la coque. L'invention décrite par ce brevet couvre aussi toute disposition non symétrique et non centrée (fig.lc, ld et le).
La caractéristique principale du gréement duplex est de rendre solidaire les mâts par l'utilisation d'entretoises et de haubans rendant la structure parallélépipédique (fig.2) très robuste et résistantes aux contraintes mécaniques. Cette structure sera également appelée portique(13) par la suite. L'arrimage de cette structure sur le bateau au niveau de la coque ajoute à la robustesse de l'ensemble. Il est à noter que la forme parallélépipédique ab ,. 02793016 2012-10-18 PATENT
COMMERCIAL SHIP EQUIPPED WITH A DUPLEX RIG

DESCRIPTION
The merchant navy is a very important industry oil consumer and a major gas emitter at Greenhouse effect (GHG). This industry is very sensitive to oil prices and little in line with the rules environmental protection laws and laws the environment for the years to come.
The present invention relates to a device referred to commercial vessel equipped with duplex rigging allowing to equip a cargo type commercial vessel such as ro-ro, container ship, tanker, or ferry, so that this one uses wind power as a driving force primary or secondary. This invention makes it possible to remedy the dependence of the conventional navy vis-à-vis the oil and reduce very significantly the oil consumption and pollution by replacing the traditional propulsion by propulsion using free wind energy and non-polluting.
The classic implantation of the mats (2) on a ship is central and aligned along the longitudinal axis (3) of the ship (Fig.la). Commercial vessel with duplex rigging (fig.2) proposes an installation of the masts not in a way central, but in solidarity pairs, each mast of a pair duplex being positioned on both sides of the axis longitudinal (3) (fig.lb). The typical position is position the masts on a line (4) perpendicular to this axis and equidistant from it, as close as possible of the hull to take advantage of the great rigidity of the structure of the hull. The invention described by this patent also covers any non-symmetrical and non-centered layout (fig.lc, ld and the).
The main feature of duplex rigging is to secure the masts by the use of spacers and shrouds making the structure parallelepipedic (fig.2) very robust and resistant to stress mechanical. This structure will also be called portico (13) thereafter. The stowage of this structure on the boat at the hull adds to the robustness of all. It should be noted that the parallelepipedic shape
2 ab,. 02793016 2012-10-18 rectangle(fig.2a) est prise par défaut, mais que la présente invention couvre également toute autre forme, notamment trapézoïdale ou polygonale à quatre côtés quelconques (fig.2b). Un système permettant le changement de forme du portique pour exploiter au mieux les conditions de navigation est également du domaine de la présente invention (fig.2c). On peut, par exemple, utiliser un parallélogramme déformable à l'aide de haubans de longueur variable (par l'utilisation de manivelles, treuils, winchs, tendeurs, ou tout autre moyen adaptant la longueur d'un câble) permettant de pencher les mâts d'un côté ou de l'autre du navire afin d'optimiser les conditions de navigation. La déformation du portique peut être manuelle ou motorisée. Dans ce cas, le portique est monté sur une structure articulée(9) permettant un mouvement dans le sens latéral du mât.
En sus du haubanage et des entretoises, le portique constitué des deux mâts est également haubané dans le sens longitudinal (fig.3) afin d'assurer sa stabilité et sa robustesse d'ensemble. Le positionnement des haubans longitudinaux peut recouvrer diverses configurations, individuelles (fig.3a) ou en série (fig.3b), ou une combinaison de ces configurations. La combinaison des haubans longitudinaux(12) et du haubanage du portique confère une très grande robustesse à l'ensemble du gréement 2 ab ,. 02793016 2012-10-18 rectangle (fig.2a) is taken by default, but that this invention also covers any other form, in particular trapezoidal or polygonal four-sided (Fig.2b). A system allowing the change of shape of the gantry to make the most of the conditions of navigation is also within the scope of the present invention (2C). One can, for example, use a parallelogram deformable by means of stays of variable length (for the use of cranks, winches, winches, turnbuckles, or any other means adapting the length of a cable) allowing to lean the masts on one side or the other of the ship to optimize navigation conditions. The deformation of Gantry can be manual or motorized. In this case, the gantry is mounted on an articulated structure (9) allowing a movement in the lateral direction of the mast.
In addition to the stay and spacers, the gantry consisting of both masts is also guyed in the direction longitudinal axis (fig.3) to ensure its stability and overall robustness. The positioning of the stay cables longitudinal features can recover various configurations, individually (fig.3a) or in series (fig.3b), or combination of these configurations. The combination of longitudinal stays (12) and gantry stay gives great rigidity to the entire rig
3 ab,. 02793016 2012-10-18 tout en minimisant la grosseur des composants (mâts, entretoises, haubans, piétement...) impliqués dans cette structure qui travaillent dans la meilleure direction du point de vue de la résistance des matériaux (en compression pour les mâts et entretoises, et en extension pour les haubans), les efforts de flexions, torsions et porte-à-faux étant réduits au minimum. Le piétement des mâts se décline selon plusieurs versions, d'une simple fixation au pont(7) jusqu'à une combinaison d'éléments(8, 9, 10 et 11) permettant au mât d'avoir un mouvement de rotation latérale et/ou longitudinale selon les souhaits du concepteur du navire.
Les configurations de voiles pouvant être fixées au gréement duplex peuvent être de tout type et ne limitent pas cette invention à une configuration particulière. Toutefois, la configuration spéciale du gréement permet l'implantation d'une voile centrale(14) positionnée entre les mâts et permettant à certaines allures d'accroître la force propulsive du navire. L'implantation de cette voile sur la double mâture offerte par le gréement duplex n'est pas limitative. Elle peut être fixée horizontalement à partir d'un système de doubles bômes coulissant sur les mâts, sur des rails fixés sur les mâts, sur un haubanage, elle peut être fixée sur un des mâts puis déroulée dans le sens 3 ab ,. 02793016 2012-10-18 while minimizing the size of the components (masts, spacers, shrouds, legs ...) involved in this structure working in the best direction of the point of view of the resistance of materials (in compression for poles and spacers, and in extension for guy lines), bending, twisting and canting efforts being reduced to a minimum. The base of the masts is declined according to several versions, from a simple attachment to the bridge (7) up to a combination of elements (8, 9, 10 and 11) allowing the mast to have a lateral rotational movement and / or longitudinal according to the wishes of the designer of the ship.
The sail configurations that can be attached to the duplex rigging can be of any type and do not limit this invention has a particular configuration. However, the special configuration of the rig allows the implantation a central sail (14) positioned between the masts and allowing certain paces to increase the strength propulsive of the ship. The implementation of this sail on the double mast offered by the duplex rig is not limiting. It can be fixed horizontally from a system of double booms sliding on the masts, on rails fixed on the masts, on a stay, it can be fixed on one of the masts then unrolled in the direction

Le nombre de portiques(13), le nombre d'entretoises(6), le placement des haubans ne sont pas limitatifs et incluent tout type de configurations basées sur une combinaison de ces critères.
Un navire peut posséder plusieurs portiques duplex en fonction de sa taille ou du choix des concepteurs du navire.
L'ancrage du portique duplex sur le navire peut recouvrer plusieurs situations, la largeur du portique pouvant être inférieure (fig.4a), égale (fig.4b) ou supérieure (fig.4c) à la largeur de la coque, mais il est recommandé d'ancrer les mâts le plus près possible du bord de la coque afin d'avoir la plus grande largeur possible du portique et la meilleure solidité, un ancrage directement sur la coque offrant de bonnes garanties de robustesse, évitant le renforcement du pont et de la coque nécessaire lorsque les mâts sont en position centrale. Un 4 ab ,. 02793016 2012-10-18 vertical, or any other configuration allowing position this sail according to the wishes of the crew and ship designer (horizontal position deployed (fig.6a), high horizontal position (fig.6b), position horizontal low (fig.6c), horizontal position intermediate (fig.6d), vertical position deployed (fig.6e), or intermediate vertical position (fig.6f)).
The number of gantries (13), the number of spacers (6), the placement of the stays are not limiting and include any type of configurations based on a combination of these criteria.
A ship may have several duplex portals in depending on its size or the choice of ship designers.
The anchorage of the duplex gantry on the ship can recover several situations, the width of the gantry can be lower (fig.4a), equal (fig.4b) or superior (fig.4c) to the width of the hull, but it is recommended to anchor the masts as close to the edge as possible of the hull in order to have the widest possible width of gantry and the best solidity, an anchorage directly on the hull offering good guarantees of robustness, avoiding reinforcement of the bridge and the necessary hull when the masts are in central position. A
5 positionnement des mâts ayant une largeur supérieure à la coque (fig.4c) peut cependant présenter un intérêt en termes de navigabilité en offrant une plus grande surface de voilure.
La structure haubanée du portique offre la possibilité
de pouvoir être montée sur un piétement articulé permettant le basculement du portique dans le sens longitudinal (fig.5). Cette articulation(10) permettant la rotation du portique dans le sens longitudinal peut être associée à
l'articulation latérale(9) précédemment décrite, sans préjuger de l'ordre dans lesquelles ces articulations sont montées (dans le cas où les deux articulations cohabitent sur un même portique). Ainsi, les haubans longitudinaux peuvent aussi servir à déplier et replier les portiques à
des fins de maintenance, de navigation (en cas de tempête, par exemple), ou encore pour pouvoir accéder à des zones n'offrant pas un tirant d'air suffisant (passage sous les ponts notamment). 5 positioning of masts with a width greater than shell (fig.4c) may, however, be of interest in of airworthiness by providing a larger area of wing.
The cable-stayed structure of the portico offers the possibility to be mounted on an articulated base allowing the tilting of the gantry in the longitudinal direction (Fig.5). This articulation (10) allowing the rotation of the gantry in the longitudinal direction can be associated with the lateral articulation (9) previously described, without prejudge the order in which these joints are mounted (in the case where both joints coexist on the same portico). Thus, the longitudinal stays can also be used to unfold and fold the porticos to maintenance, navigation (in case of a storm, for example), or to access areas not providing adequate draft (passage under bridges in particular).

Claim 7 Device according to the above claims, characterized by the possibility of modifying the shape of the portico. This modification can be done manually by intervening on the gantry or automatically if the Guying of the gantry allows this. In particular, an action on the guying (5) of the gantry can modify its tilt and provide navigation conditions different (fig. 2c and 2d). This claim must be coupled with claim 5 to be possible.
Claim 8 Device according to the above claims characterized by the use of one or more gantries according to the size of the ship or the wishes of its designers.
Claim 9 Device according to the above claims characterized by one or more guyed gantry (s) in longitudinal direction in order to ensure stability and robustness of the portal (s) (fig. 3a and 3b).
Claim 10 Device according to the above claims characterized by the possibility of tilting the masts in modifying the length of the longitudinal stays in order to decrease the air draft or fold the masts on the deck upper part of the vessel (fig. 5).
Claim 11 Device according to the above claims characterized by the possibility of setting up a sail central (14) between the duplex masts. The implementation of this sail on the double mast offered by the duplex rigging is not restrictive and can cover different types of supports (horizontal deployment on systems based on mobile booms, shrouds, boom / shroud hybrid, vertical deployment on systems similar to horizontal deployment, or any other system allowing flexible positioning of the central sail. This system allows several types of configuration of the sail: horizontal position extended (fig. 6a), position upper horizontal (fig. 6b), lower horizontal position (fig.6c), intermediate horizontal position (fig.6d), upright extended position (fig.6e), or vertical position intermediate (fig. 6f).
