Definitions
- the invention relates to aquatic activities and sports, such as canoeing and kayaking, for which rivers are used where nautical stadiums are arranged to allow the training of practitioners and the conduct of competitions.
- the first type is made up of natural rivers which offer a privileged setting for practitioners and which require very little development, such as beacons suspended above the river to possibly diagram a determined route in the bed of this river.
- a second type of aquatic route is offered by pseudo-natural routes, which are the development of rivers using natural or concrete riprap. Indeed, the riverbed is modified by the creation of artificial volumes by means of concrete masses installed in the riverbed.
- a third type of aquatic route consists of artificial rivers obtained, for example, by diverting part of the flow of a river in an artificial channel or by pumping.
- the object of the invention is to develop a nautical course avoiding the aforementioned drawbacks and which may offer the possibility of changing the course of the flow of the river, so as to diversify the possible courses to practice on this river, while avoiding modifying the riverbed.
- patent document DE-A-3519168 discloses a flood protection barrier device consisting of removable elements placed in holes provided at the bottom of the body of water or of the river.
- An improvement of this process consists in connecting together several vertical elements by a connecting piece to secure them and materialize larger artificial volumes.
- the bases which may be made of concrete are preferably provided with holes on the upper surface of the base and the elements each have a rod to ensure their fixing in the holes.
- the holes are through and vertical with respect to the bases.
- the bases each have a few feet so that these bases are raised relative to the river bed to cause circulation around and through the bases in order to clean the holes.
- the upper part of certain elements may consist of a polyethylene envelope molded around the rod which extends over the entire height of the element, or of a vertical cylinder at the base of which the lower rod is fixed by means of 'a concrete sleeve.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the elements each consist of a vertical cylinder itself constituting the upper part at the base of which is fixed the lower rod by means of a concrete sleeve.
- such cylinders are completed by making handling orifices in the wall of each of them and also allowing river water to enter the cylinder when the river is put back into water and to evacuate from the cylinder when putting the water out of the river.
- each vertical element can be completed with a round cover provided with at least one hole.
- the cylinders and covers can be either polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene.
- the holes of the bases are covered with a sheath, preferably metallic.
- the sheath has grooves on its internal surface.
- the rods have longitudinal grooves.
- An improvement of the invention consists in that the upper parts of certain elements have grooves to accommodate intermediate boards thus placed between two elements and thus increase the artificial volumes created by the elements.
- the first main part of the device according to the invention consists in creating a series of bases 1, preferably made of concrete, and intended to be placed on the raft of the river bed, that is to say - say at the bottom of the latter.
- the main characteristic of these bases 1 is that elements 10 can be attached thereto which must constitute artificial volumes.
- the bases 1 each have a series of holes 2, for example, vertical and through, on the upper surface 3 of the base in question.
- the fact that these holes 2 are through avoids the suction cup effect when an object is inserted or removed from these holes 2.
- They are preferably reinforced with a sheath which may for example be metallic 4 to increase their resistance. wear and ensure the stability of the artificial volumes created in the river.
- feet 22 below the bases 1 so that they can be raised. Indeed, if these are surrounded by water, the current can allow systematic cleaning of the holes 2 when they are through.
- bases 1 whose sides can vary, for example, from one to three meters. Given that these bases 1 are preferably made of concrete, the handling of these must be done by means of a crane.
- the second essential element of the device according to the invention consists of a lot of elements 10, for example, vertical, which are intended to constitute an artificial volume in the river bed and to be able to divert the flow of water of the latter.
- each element has at its lower part a fixing rod 11, the shape of which corresponds to the internal diameter of the sheath 4. It is specified in this regard that, not only the shape complementary to the interior shape of the sheath 4 (a cylindrical tube if the sheath 4 is cylindrical) can be used, but also all the shapes inscribed can be used. It is thus envisaged to use cylindrical fixing rods 11 in sleeves 4 whose internal shape is circular in which is inscribed the external surface of the rods.
- this lower rod 11 can advantageously be produced in the form of a hollow metal profile. It is fixed to an upper part 12 of the vertical element 10 which is bulky. Indeed, it constitutes the operational part with respect to the flow of the river to be modified.
- the attachment of the lower rod 11 to the voluminous upper part 12 can advantageously be carried out using any connecting concrete constituting a fixing sleeve 13.
- FIG. 2 shows four vertical elements 10 placed one next to the other. Indeed, it is preferably provided that the distance between the holes 2 of the bases 1 corresponds to the diameter or to the width of the vertical elements 10. In this way, the latter, by being placed adjacent, can play the role of a dike opposite the river water.
- Figure 3 shows a top view of a possible embodiment of an obstacle shown in Figure 2.
- edge 20 of the river we see that the installation of one or more pedestals on the side of the bed , near this edge 20 allows to build a projection 21 consisting of eight vertical elements 10 placed so as to obtain the desired shape. This creates a diversion of the flow of the river, that is to say an artificial turning point.
- the embodiment of Figure 3 shows that the holes 4 are staggered relative to the edges 20 of the riverbed.
- the bases can be arranged anyhow on the bottom of the river, just as the location of the holes 2 in these bases 1 can be provided in any geometry. It is nonetheless preferable that their position and spacing make it possible to constitute compact volumes. It is also understood that if one or more bases 1 are placed in the middle of the river, it is possible to create, not only a projection of the edge 20 of the river, but an artificial island in the middle of the bed of the latter.
- the invention preferably applies to rivers which can be at least partially put out of water, that is to say which can be largely drained.
- the river can be filled with water.
- the handling holes 14 then allow the vertical elements 10 to remain in the bases 1 and not to float. Indeed, these fixing holes 14 allow the water to gradually enter into each of the vertical elements.
- the realization of the lower rods 11 by means of hollow profiles allows a possible circulation of water from the inside of the vertical elements 10 below the bases 1, if the holes 2 do not do not leak tightly onto the bottom 5 of the river.
- a drain hole 19 in the bottom of the cylinder 12 to allow the water to flow out of the upper part 12, when the river is put out of water, before a possible displacement of the vertical element.
- This type of hole 19 can also serve as a handling hole, as soon as it has the shape.
- a first preferred embodiment of the upper part 12 of the vertical elements 10 is to use relatively large cylinders.
- PVC drainage pipes that is to say polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene.
- These vertical elements 10 are advantageously supplemented each with a round cover 15 placed at the top 16 of a vertical element 10.
- a cover mainly makes it possible to avoid users of the aquatic course from getting their leg or arm caught in one of the elements vertical 10. It is preferably provided at least one hole 17 passing through each of the covers 16, to allow the air to escape, during the progressive filling of the interior of the vertical elements 10 during the re-filling of the river.
- the single or multiple covers can also be made of the same material as the upper part 12 of the vertical elements 10, in this case PVC or polyethylene.
- Such a vertical element can then be around sixty kilograms for a size of the order of one meter fifty to two meters.
- Such vertical elements 10 can withstand a difference in water level on either side of the vertical element equal to one meter. It is therefore understandable that it is possible to constitute rapid local currents and diversions of the flow of the river to simulate obstacles and situations of high difficulty on an aquatic course, such as rapids.
- this preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the lower rod 11 of the vertical elements 10 is a cylindrical rod and that the corresponding holes 2 are also. This is only an embodiment, these two elements being able to have different but corresponding shapes.
- the section of the vertical elements 10 may not be cylindrical, but square or of a shape more or less suitable for the configuration of the obstacle that it is desired to create. They can, in particular, have the complementary shape of the bank of the river opposite the place where they are placed to allow an obstacle to be in intimate contact with it and thus prevent the flow from skirting the bank .
- a second preferred embodiment of the elements consists mainly of molding a synthetic material, such as polyethylene, around a large rod 25 extending over the entire height of the element.
- the rod 25 is shown with longitudinal grooves 28. This can facilitate the introduction of the rods 25 into the holes, or the sheath of the holes, When there is a little soil or sand inside of these. This ease of assembly can also be obtained by making grooves on the internal surface of the sleeves placed in the holes.
- lower grooves 26 may be provided at the bottom of the polyethylene casing 23. It is thus possible to arrange beads 27 in the upper part of these lower grooves 26 to constitute grips.
- the method and the device according to the invention make it possible to have adaptable furniture which can be placed not only in running water, but in a simple body of water.
- Such a whitewater stadium using this type of obstacle offers a whole range of possibilities for variations in flow favorable to users.
- This type of equipment in fact makes it possible to overcome certain drawbacks which the bed of a river presents at a particular location by occasionally making a passage too difficult for users. Conversely, it is thus possible to create artificial difficulties in the bed of a river which usually does not present major difficulties for experienced users.
- the obstacles are movable, thus making it possible to vary the currents and the movements of the water of the same river in the same place.
- the elements of the device can be easily standardized.
- the height of the vertical elements 10 can be very variable, depending on the level of the river water or the type of obstacle that it is desired to create.
- the aquatic routes thus created can possibly be accessible to practitioners of all levels, when they are associated with variations in river flow.
- the invention makes it possible to remove all the elements from the river after their use, so as to restore this river with its initial natural bed.
- the invention is particularly well suited to artificial river arms which have been constructed beforehand, for example as a diversion from any arrangement installed on or by the river, such as a dam. .

Description
L'invention concerne les activités et sports aquatiques, comme le canoë et le kayak, pour lesquels on utilise les rivières où des stades nautiques sont aménagés pour permettre l'entraînement des pratiquants et le déroulement des compétitions.The invention relates to aquatic activities and sports, such as canoeing and kayaking, for which rivers are used where nautical stadiums are arranged to allow the training of practitioners and the conduct of competitions.
La pratique des sports d'eau vive, et plus particulièrement du canoë et du kayak, est en constante évolution et progression. A cet effet, plusieurs types de parcours aquatiques sont utilisés.The practice of white water sports, and more particularly canoeing and kayaking, is constantly evolving and progressing. Several types of aquatic routes are used for this purpose.
Le premier type est constitué des rivières naturelles qui offrent un cadre privilégié aux pratiquants et qui ne nécessitent que très peu d'aménagements, tels que des balises suspendues au dessus de la rivière pour éventuellement schématiser un parcours déterminé dans le lit de cette rivière.The first type is made up of natural rivers which offer a privileged setting for practitioners and which require very little development, such as beacons suspended above the river to possibly diagram a determined route in the bed of this river.
Un deuxième type de parcours aquatique est offert par les parcours pseudo-naturels qui sont des aménagements des rivières au moyen d'enrochements naturels ou en béton. En effet, le lit de la rivière est modifié par la création de volumes artificiels au moyen de masses de béton installées dans le lit de la rivière.A second type of aquatic route is offered by pseudo-natural routes, which are the development of rivers using natural or concrete riprap. Indeed, the riverbed is modified by the creation of artificial volumes by means of concrete masses installed in the riverbed.
Un troisième type de parcours aquatique est constitué par des rivières artificielles obtenues, par exemple, par dérivation d'une partie du flux d'une rivière dans un canal artificiel ou par pompage.A third type of aquatic route consists of artificial rivers obtained, for example, by diverting part of the flow of a river in an artificial channel or by pumping.
Ces types de parcours aquatiques n'offrent, pour une rivière déterminée, qu'un seul écoulement de l'eau de la rivière, déterminé et inamovible. En d'autres termes, le lit et le flux de la rivière sont définitivement figés.These types of aquatic routes offer, for a specific river, only one flow of water from the river, determined and irremovable. In other words, the bed and the flow of the river are permanently frozen.
De plus, le développement de ces activités nautiques est tel que ces stades d'eau vive sont des éléments moteurs essentiels et nécessaires pour la pratique de ces sports, et en particulier pour le canoé et le kayak.In addition, the development of these nautical activities is such that these white water stadiums are essential and necessary driving elements for the practice of these sports, and in particular for canoeing and kayaking.
Le but de l'invention est de développer un parcours nautique évitant les inconvénients précités et pouvant offrir la possibilité de changer le parcours du flux de la rivière, de manière à diversifier les parcours possibles à pratiquer sur cette rivière, tout en évitant de modifier le lit de la rivière.The object of the invention is to develop a nautical course avoiding the aforementioned drawbacks and which may offer the possibility of changing the course of the flow of the river, so as to diversify the possible courses to practice on this river, while avoiding modifying the riverbed.
Par ailleurs, on connaît par le document de brevet DE-A-3519168 un dispositif de barrage de protection contre les crues constitué d'éléments amovibles placés dans des trous prévus au fond du plan d'eau ou de la rivière.Furthermore, the patent document DE-A-3519168 discloses a flood protection barrier device consisting of removable elements placed in holes provided at the bottom of the body of water or of the river.
Un premier objet principal de l'invention est un procédé d'aménagement d'un parcours nautique en eau vive, destiné aux activités nautiques, et consistant à modifier le lit de la rivière, qui doit pouvoir être mise hors d'eau, en créant des volumes artificiels dans le lit de la rivière. Selon l'invention, il consiste à procéder selon les étapes suivantes :
- mettre hors d'eau partiellement la rivière ;
- disposer sur le lit de la rivière, à chaque endroit où l'on désire créer un volume, au moins un socle muni de trous débouchant sur sa surface supérieure ;
- placer dans les trous du ou des socles, des éléments ayant chacun une partie dépassant des trous pour constituer lesdits volumes artificiels ; et
- remettre en eau la rivière,
- partially clear the river;
- place on the river bed, at each place where one wishes to create a volume, at least one base provided with holes opening on its upper surface;
- placing in the holes of the base (s), elements each having a part projecting from the holes to constitute said artificial volumes; and
- put the river back in water,
Une amélioration de ce procédé consiste à relier entre eux plusieurs éléments verticaux par une pièce de liaison pour les solidariser et matérialiser des volumes artificiels plus importants.An improvement of this process consists in connecting together several vertical elements by a connecting piece to secure them and materialize larger artificial volumes.
Il est également possible de relier entre eux certains éléments par une planche intermédiaire pour augmenter ainsi les volumes artificiels créés par ces éléments.It is also possible to connect certain elements together by an intermediate board to thereby increase the artificial volumes created by these elements.
Le deuxième objet principal de l'invention est un parcours aquatique en eau vive pour les sports nautiques par modification du lit d'une rivière comprenant :
- des socles à poser sur le lit de la rivière ; et
- des éléments fixés sur les socles et ayant une partie supérieure volumineuse pour constituer une partie des volumes artificiels dans le lit de la rivière.
- pedestals to be placed on the river bed; and
- elements fixed on the bases and having a voluminous upper part to constitute a part of the artificial volumes in the river bed.
Les socles qui peuvent être en béton sont de préférence munis de trous sur la surface supérieure du socle et les éléments ont chacun une tige pour assurer leur fixation dans les trous.The bases which may be made of concrete are preferably provided with holes on the upper surface of the base and the elements each have a rod to ensure their fixing in the holes.
Dans ce cas, les trous sont débouchants et verticaux par rapport aux socles.In this case, the holes are through and vertical with respect to the bases.
Dans cette réalisation, les socles possèdent chacun quelques pieds pour que ces socles soient surélevés par rapport au lit de la rivière pour provoquer une circulation autour et à travers les socles afin de nettoyer les trous.In this embodiment, the bases each have a few feet so that these bases are raised relative to the river bed to cause circulation around and through the bases in order to clean the holes.
La partie supérieure de certains éléments peut être constituée d'une enveloppe en polyéthylène moulée autour de la tige qui se prolonge sur toute la hauteur de l'élément, ou d'un cylindre vertical à la base duquel est fixée la tige inférieure au moyen d'un manchon de béton.The upper part of certain elements may consist of a polyethylene envelope molded around the rod which extends over the entire height of the element, or of a vertical cylinder at the base of which the lower rod is fixed by means of 'a concrete sleeve.
On peut ainsi choisir le parcours que l'on désire installer en plaçant, au préalable, les socles en béton à certains endroits et en les équipant d'un ou de plusieurs éléments verticaux.We can thus choose the route that we wish to install by placing, beforehand, the concrete bases in certain places and by equipping them with one or more vertical elements.
Une réalisation préférentielle de l'invention prévoit que les éléments sont constitués chacun d'un cylindre vertical constituant lui-même la partie supérieure à la base de laquelle est fixée la tige inférieure au moyen d'un manchon en béton.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the elements each consist of a vertical cylinder itself constituting the upper part at the base of which is fixed the lower rod by means of a concrete sleeve.
On complète avantageusement de tels cylindres en pratiquant des orifices de manutention dans la paroi de chacun d'eux et permettant également à l'eau de la rivière de pénétrer dans le cylindre lors de la remise en eau de la rivière et de s'évacuer du cylindre lors de la mise hors d'eau de la rivière.Advantageously, such cylinders are completed by making handling orifices in the wall of each of them and also allowing river water to enter the cylinder when the river is put back into water and to evacuate from the cylinder when putting the water out of the river.
Dans cette réalisation, chaque élément vertical peut se compléter d'un couvercle rond muni d'au moins un trou.In this embodiment, each vertical element can be completed with a round cover provided with at least one hole.
On peut également utiliser des couvercles multiples constitués de plusieurs ronds munis chacun d'au moins un trou, pour mettre sur le sommet de plusieurs cylindres adjacents. On crée ainsi des volumes plus importants.It is also possible to use multiple covers made up of several rounds, each provided with at least one hole, for placing on the top of several adjacent cylinders. This creates larger volumes.
Les cylindres et les couvercles peuvent être soit en polychlorure de vinyl, soit en polyéthylène.The cylinders and covers can be either polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene.
De préférence, les trous des socles sont recouverts d'un fourreau de préférence métallique.Preferably, the holes of the bases are covered with a sheath, preferably metallic.
De préférence, le fourreau possède sur sa surface interne des rainures.Preferably, the sheath has grooves on its internal surface.
De même, les tiges possèdent des rainures longitudinales.Likewise, the rods have longitudinal grooves.
Une amélioration de l'invention consiste en ce que les parties supérieures de certains éléments possèdent des rainures pour accueillir des planches intermédiaires placées ainsi entre deux éléments et augmenter ainsi les volumes artificiels crées par les éléments.An improvement of the invention consists in that the upper parts of certain elements have grooves to accommodate intermediate boards thus placed between two elements and thus increase the artificial volumes created by the elements.

Le procédé et le dispositif sont décrits simultanément dans cette description.The method and the device are described simultaneously in this description.
En référence à la figure 1, la première partie principale du dispositif selon l'invention consiste à créer une série de socles 1, de préférence en béton, et destinés à être posés sur le radier du lit de la rivière, c'est-à-dire au fond de cette dernière. La principale caractéristique de ces socles 1 est qu'on peut fixer dessus des éléments 10 qui doivent constituer des volumes artificiels. Comme le montre la réalisation décrite, ceci est possible en ce que les socles 1 possèdent chacun une série de trous 2, par exemple, verticaux et débouchants, sur la surface supérieure 3 du socle en question. Le fait que ces trous 2 soient débouchants permet d'éviter l'effet de ventouse lorsqu'on introduit ou retire un objet de ces trous 2. Ils sont de préférence renforcés d'un fourreau qui peut être par exemple métallique 4 pour augmenter leur résistance à l'usure et assurer la stabilité des volumes artificiels créés dans la rivière.With reference to FIG. 1, the first main part of the device according to the invention consists in creating a series of
Il est également préférable de prévoir des pieds 22 en dessous des socles 1 de manière à pouvoir surélever ces derniers. En effet, si ceux-ci sont entourés d'eau, le courant peut permettre un nettoyage systématique des trous 2 lorsqu'ils sont débouchants.It is also preferable to provide
On peut ainsi envisager d'utiliser des socles 1 dont les côtés peuvent varier, par exemple, de un à trois mètres. Compte tenu que ces socles 1 sont de préférence fabriqués en béton, la manutention de ceux-ci doit être faite au moyen d'une grue.One can thus consider using
Le deuxième élément essentiel du dispositif selon l'invention est constitué d'un lot d'éléments 10, par exemple, verticaux, qui sont destinés à constituer un volume artificiel dans le lit de la rivière et à pouvoir détourner le flux de l'eau de cette dernière. Pour pouvoir être fixé dans un socle en béton 1, la réalisation représentée prévoit que chaque élément possède à sa partie inférieure une tige de fixation 11, dont la forme correspond au diamètre intérieur du fourreau 4. On précise à ce sujet que, non seulement la forme complémentaire à la forme intérieure du fourreau 4 (un tube cylindrique si le fourreau 4 est cylindrique) peut être utilisée, mais également toutes les formes inscrites peuvent l'être. On envisage ainsi d'utiliser des tiges de fixation 11 cylindriques dans des fourreaux 4 dont la forme intérieure est circulaire dans laquelle est inscrite la surface externe des tiges.The second essential element of the device according to the invention consists of a lot of
Dans une première réalisation, et pour faciliter la manutention de cet élément vertical 10, cette tige inférieure 11 peut avantageusement être réalisée sous la forme d'un profilé métallique creux. Elle est fixée à une partie supérieure 12 de l'élément vertical 10 qui est volumineuse. En effet, elle constitue la partie opérationnelle vis-à-vis du flux de la rivière à modifier. La fixation de la tige inférieure 11 à la partie supérieure volumineuse 12 peut se faire avantageusement à l'aide d'un béton quelconque de liaison constituant un manchon de fixation 13.In a first embodiment, and to facilitate the handling of this
On conçoit ainsi qu'il est possible, non seulement d'équiper n'importe quel socle 1 d'un ou plusieurs éléments verticaux 10 pour constituer un obstacle artificiel dans le lit de la rivière, mais qu'il est également possible de placer cet obstacle artificiel à un endroit désiré en plaçant le socle 1 à l'endroit correspondant sur le fond de la rivière.It is thus understood that it is possible, not only to equip any
En référence aux figures 2 et 3, on constate tout de suite que le dispositif selon l'invention permet de réaliser n'importe quel type de forme d'obstacle artificiel dans le lit de la rivière, du moment que la pose des socles 1 est possible sur le fond de celle-ci. En effet, la figure 2 montre quatre éléments verticaux 10 placés les uns à côté des autres. En effet, on prévoit de préférence que l'entraxe des trous 2 des socles 1 correspond au diamètre ou à la largeur des éléments verticaux 10. De la sorte, ces derniers, en étant placés de manière adjacente, peuvent jouer le rôle d'une digue vis-à-vis de l'eau de la rivière.Referring to Figures 2 and 3, it is immediately clear that the device according to the invention makes it possible to produce any type of artificial obstacle shape in the river bed, as long as the laying of the
La figure 3 montre en vue de dessus une réalisation possible d'un obstacle représenté par la figure 2. En effet, en considérant le bord 20 de la rivière, on voit que la pose d'un ou de plusieurs socles sur le côté du lit, près de ce bord 20 permet de construire une avancée 21 constituée de huit éléments verticaux 10 placés de manière à obtenir la forme désirée. On crée ainsi un détournement du flux de la rivière, c'est-à-dire un tournant artificiel.Figure 3 shows a top view of a possible embodiment of an obstacle shown in Figure 2. Indeed, considering the
La réalisation de la figure 3 montre que les trous 4 sont placés en quinconce par rapport aux bords 20 du lit de la rivière. Ceci n'est qu'un exemple de réalisation, les socles pouvant être disposés n'importe comment sur le fond de la rivière, tout comme l'emplacement des trous 2 dans ces socles 1 peut être prévu dans n'importe quelle géométrie. Il est tout de même préférable que leurs position et écartement permettent de constituer des volumes compacts. On comprend également que si un ou plusieurs socles 1 sont placés au milieu de la rivière, il est possible de créer, non seulement une avancée du bord 20 de la rivière, mais une ile artificielle au milieu du lit de cette dernière.The embodiment of Figure 3 shows that the holes 4 are staggered relative to the
En revenant à la figure 1, pour la manutention des éléments verticaux 10, on prévoit de pratiquer au moins un trou de manutention 14 dans la paroi de la partie supérieure 12 des éléments verticaux 10. Il est par ailleurs avantageux que ces trous 14 aient une forme de poignée. On peut ainsi placer manuellement les éléments verticaux 10 dans les trous 2 des socles 1 aux endroits voulus.Returning to FIG. 1, for handling the
On doit d'ailleurs préciser à ce sujet que l'invention s'applique de préférence à des rivières pouvant être mises au moins partiellement hors d'eau, c'est-à-dire pouvant être asséchées en grande partie. Une fois la pose des éléments verticaux 10 effectuée, la rivière peut être remise en eau. Les trous de manutention 14 permettent alors aux éléments verticaux 10 de rester dans les socles 1 et de ne pas flotter. En effet, ces trous de fixation 14 permettent à l'eau de rentrer progressivement dans chacun des éléments verticaux. La réalisation des tiges inférieures 11 au moyen de profilés creux permet une circulation possible de l'eau de l'intérieur des éléments verticaux 10 en dessous des socles 1, si les trous 2 ne débouchent pas de manière étanche sur le fond 5 de la rivière. Enfin, il est avantageux de prévoir un trou de vidange 19 dans le bas du cylindre 12 pour permettre à l'eau de s'écouler en dehors de la partie supérieure 12, lors d'une mise hors d'eau de la rivière, avant un déplacement éventuel de l'élément vertical. Ce type de trou 19 peut également servir de trou de manutention, dès l'instant qu'il en a la forme.It should also be specified in this connection that the invention preferably applies to rivers which can be at least partially put out of water, that is to say which can be largely drained.

Une première réalisation préférentielle de la partie supérieure 12 des éléments verticaux 10 est d'utiliser des cylindres relativement larges. On pense en particulier aux tuyaux d'assainissement en PVC, c'est-à-dire en polychlorure de vinyle ou en polyéthylène.A first preferred embodiment of the
Ces éléments verticaux 10 sont avantageusement complétés chacun d'un couvercle rond 15 placé au sommet 16 d'un élément vertical 10. Un tel couvercle permet principalement d'éviter aux utilisateurs du parcours aquatique de se coincer une jambe ou un bras dans un des éléments verticaux 10. On prévoit de préférence au moins un trou 17 traversant chacun des couvercles 16, pour permettre à l'air de s'échapper, lors du remplissage progressif de l'intérieur des éléments verticaux 10 pendant la remise en eau de la rivière.These
Dans le cas illustré par les figures 2 et 3, il est avantageux de disposer d'une pièce de liaison comme un chapeau multiple 18 constitué de couvercles individuels ronds solidarisés les uns aux autres. Un tel chapeau multiple 18 permet de rigidifier la structure créée par plusieurs éléments verticaux adjacents 10.In the case illustrated by Figures 2 and 3, it is advantageous to have a connecting piece such as a
Les couvercles simples ou multiples peuvent également être constitués du même matériau que la partie supérieure 12 des éléments verticaux 10, en l'occurrence du PVC ou du polyéthylène.The single or multiple covers can also be made of the same material as the
Le poids d'un tel élément vertical peut alors être d'environ soixante kilogrammes pour une taille de l'ordre de un mètre cinquante à deux mètres. De tels éléments verticaux 10 peuvent résister à une différence de niveau d'eau de part et d'autre de l'élément vertical égale à un mètre. On conçoit donc qu'il est possible de constituer des courants locaux rapides et des déviations du flux de la rivière pour simuler des obstacles et des situations de hautes difficultés sur un parcours aquatique, tels que des rapides.The weight of such a vertical element can then be around sixty kilograms for a size of the order of one meter fifty to two meters. Such
On a précisé que cette réalisation préférentielle de l'invention prévoit que la tige inférieure 11 des éléments verticaux 10 est une tige cylindrique et que les trous correspondants 2 le sont également. Ceci n'est qu'une forme de réalisation, ces deux éléments pouvant avoir des formes différentes, mais correspondantes.It has been specified that this preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the
De même, la section des éléments verticaux 10 peut être non pas cylindrique, mais carrée ou de forme plus ou moins appropriée à la configuration de l'obstacle que l'on désire créer. Ils peuvent, en particulier, avoir la forme complémentaire de la berge de la rivière en regard de l'endroit où ils sont placés pour permettre à un obstacle d'être en contact intime avec celle-ci et empêcher ainsi le flux de longer la berge.Likewise, the section of the
En référence à la figure 4, une deuxième réalisation préférentielle des éléments consiste principalement à mouler une matière synthétique, telle que du polyéthylène, autour d'une grande tige 25 se prolongeant sur toute la hauteur de l'élément. On constitue ainsi un élément vertical possédant une enveloppe 2 pouvant avoir n'importe quelle forme. Il est ainsi possible de mouler un grand nombre d'obstacles différents afin d'obtenir un jeu relativement complet d'obstacles pour réaliser un parcours varié.Referring to Figure 4, a second preferred embodiment of the elements consists mainly of molding a synthetic material, such as polyethylene, around a
Sur cette figure 4, la tige 25 est représentée avec des rainures longitudinales 28. Ceci peut faciliter l'introduction des tiges 25 dans les trous, ou le fourreau des trous, Lorsqu'il reste un peu de terre ou de sable à l'intérieur de ces derniers. Cette facilité de montage peut également être obtenue en pratiquant des rainures sur la surface interne des fourreaux placés dans les trous. Pour permettre la manutention de ces éléments 10, des rainures inférieures 26 peuvent être prévues en bas de l'enveloppe en polyéthylène 23. On peut ainsi aménager des bourrelets 27 dans la partie supérieure de ces rainures inférieures 26 pour constituer des poignées de préhension.In this Figure 4, the
D'autre part, en référence à la figure 5, il est avantageux de pratiquer des grosses rainures longitudinales 31 sur une partie ou sur toute la hauteur de plusieurs éléments 10 pour qu'une planche intermédiaire 30 puisse y être insérée. On peut ainsi constituer une liaison entre deux éléments 10 de manière à offrir des possibilités supplémentaires pour la formation de divers obstacles. Les planches intermédiaires 30 peuvent avoir des hauteurs différentes de manière à constituer, soit un obstacle complet vis-à-vis d'une embarcation, soit une sorte de déversoir pour provoquer un rapide.On the other hand, with reference to FIG. 5, it is advantageous to make large
Le procédé et le dispositif selon l'invention permettent de disposer d'un mobilier évolutif qui peut être placé non seulement en eau vive, mais dans un simple plan d'eau. Un tel stade d'eau vive utilisant ce type d'obstacle offre tout un éventail de possibilités de variations de flots propices aux utilisateurs. Ce type de matériel permet en effet de pallier à certains inconvénients que présente, à un endroit particulier, le lit d'une rivière en constituant ponctuellement un passage trop difficile pour les utilisateurs. A l'inverse, il est ainsi possible de créer des difficultés artificielles dans le lit d'une rivière qui habituellement ne présente pas de grosses difficultés pour les utilisateurs chevronnés.The method and the device according to the invention make it possible to have adaptable furniture which can be placed not only in running water, but in a simple body of water. Such a whitewater stadium using this type of obstacle offers a whole range of possibilities for variations in flow favorable to users. This type of equipment in fact makes it possible to overcome certain drawbacks which the bed of a river presents at a particular location by occasionally making a passage too difficult for users. Conversely, it is thus possible to create artificial difficulties in the bed of a river which usually does not present major difficulties for experienced users.
En outre, les obstacles sont déplaçables, permettant ainsi de faire varier les courants et les mouvements de l'eau d'une même rivière à un même endroit.In addition, the obstacles are movable, thus making it possible to vary the currents and the movements of the water of the same river in the same place.
De plus, les éléments du dispositif peuvent être facilement standardisés. On précise toutefois que la hauteur des éléments verticaux 10 peuvent être très variables, suivant le niveau de l'eau de la rivière ou le type d'obstacle que l'on désire créer.In addition, the elements of the device can be easily standardized. However, it should be noted that the height of the
Les parcours aquatiques ainsi créés peuvent éventuellement être accessibles aux pratiquants de tous niveaux, lorsqu'ils sont associés à des variations de débit de la rivière.The aquatic routes thus created can possibly be accessible to practitioners of all levels, when they are associated with variations in river flow.
Enfin, par son caractère démontable, l'invention permet de retirer de la rivière tous les éléments après leur utilisation, de manière à restituer cette rivière avec son lit naturel initial. Mais il faut préciser pour conclure que l'invention est particulièrement bien adaptée aux bras de rivière artificiels qui ont été construits au préalable, par exemple en dérivation de n'importe quel aménagement installé sur ou au bord de la rivière, tel qu'un barrage.Finally, by its removable nature, the invention makes it possible to remove all the elements from the river after their use, so as to restore this river with its initial natural bed. However, it must be clarified in conclusion that the invention is particularly well suited to artificial river arms which have been constructed beforehand, for example as a diversion from any arrangement installed on or by the river, such as a dam. .
D'autres réalisations sont possibles, le concept de l'invention résidant dans le fait de fixer des éléments sur des socles placés au fond de la rivière à aménager.Other embodiments are possible, the concept of the invention residing in the fact of fixing elements on bases placed at the bottom of the river to be developed.
