Description

L'invention se rapporte à une embarcation sportive empruntant ses caractéristiques essentielles à des engins de conceptions a priori très éloignées, tels que notamment la planche à voile et le Prao.The invention relates to a sports boat borrowing its essential characteristics from a priori very distant design vehicles, such as in particular windsurfing and Prao.

On connaît le principe de la planche à voile, réunissant un flotteur profilé, sur lequel l'utilisateur peut se tenir debout et une voilure dont le mât est articulé à ce flotteur et comprend un arceau de manoeuvre permettant de maintenir la voile dans une position choisie par rapport au vent. La planche à voile se pilote donc par déplacement du centre de voilure, opéré par le véliplanchiste lui-même, dont tout le corps participe à la stabilisation de la voilure. Par vent violent et/ou en raison de la fatigue, (notamment dans les bras), celui-ci éprouve des difficultés à diriger efficacement son engin.We know the principle of windsurfing, bringing together a profiled float, on which the user can stand up and a wing whose mast is articulated to this float and includes a maneuvering hoop making it possible to maintain the sail in a chosen position compared to the wind. Windsurfing is therefore controlled by displacement of the center of the sail, operated by the windsurfer himself, whose whole body participates in the stabilization of the sail. In strong winds and / or due to fatigue (especially in the arms), he has difficulty effectively steering his machine.

Par ailleurs, le Prao est une barque à voilure conçue et utilisée à l'origine par les habitants de l'île de la Sonde, comportant un seul balancier muni à son extrémité d'un flotteur. Le comportement d'une telle embarcation est très différent selon la direction du vent, en raison de son asymétrie. Ainsi, lors d'un changement de bord, si le balancier et son flotteur étaient au vent par rapport à la barque, ceux-ci se retrouvent sous le vent et réciproquement, entraînant une modification totale du comportement de la barque. La situation la plus avantageuse est celle où le balancier est au vent et se comporte essentiellement en contrepoids.In addition, the Prao is a sailboat designed and originally used by the inhabitants of Sunda Island, comprising a single pendulum fitted at its end with a float. The behavior of such a boat is very different depending on the wind direction, due to its asymmetry. Thus, during a change of edge, if the balance and its float were in the wind relative to the boat, these are found downwind and vice versa, causing a total modification of the behavior of the boat. The most advantageous situation is that where the pendulum is in the wind and behaves essentially as a counterweight.

L'invention propose une embarcation sportive combinant certaines caractéristiques de ces deux embarcations, dans un agencement nouveau permettant leur coopération et offrant, au bout du compte, un mode de pilotage sportif, totalement original.The invention proposes a sports boat combining certain characteristics of these two boats, in a new arrangement allowing their cooperation and offering, in the end, a completely original sport steering mode.

Une embarcation de ce genre est connu de FR-A-2 619 782. L'invention concerne une embarcation selon le texte de la revendication 1.A boat of this kind is known from FR-A-2 619 782. The invention relates to a boat according to the text of claim 1.

Le flotteur principal a la même allure générale que celui d'une planche à voile; il peut comporter une dérive. La traverse formant balancier est de préférence articulée au flotteur principal par un système à tourillon pivotant autour de son axe et agencé perpendiculairement au flotteur principal. L'articulation entre la traverse et le flotteur auxiliaire est analogue; les deux axes de pivotement aux deux extrémités de la traverse formant balancier sont donc parallèles. Par conséquent, en supposant que la traverse et le flotteur auxiliaire sont au vent, lors d'un virement de bord qui implique de libérer momentanément l'articulation entre le flotteur principal et la traverse formant balancier, cette dernière et le flotteur auxiliaire restent au vent après virement de bord, car les deux flotteurs pivotent dur eux-mêmes.The main float has the same general appearance as that of a windsurf board; it may include a drift. The cross-member forming a pendulum is preferably articulated to the main float by a journal system pivoting about its axis and arranged perpendicular to the main float. The articulation between the cross member and the auxiliary float is similar; the two pivot axes at the two ends of the crosspiece forming a pendulum are therefore parallel. Consequently, supposing that the cross member and the auxiliary float are in the wind, during a tack which involves temporarily releasing the articulation between the main float and the cross member forming a pendulum, the latter and the auxiliary float remain in the wind after tack, because the two floats pivot hard themselves.

Selon une autre caractéristique preferée, l'embarcation comporte une nacelle formant siège ou analogue, solidaire de l'ensemble mât-traverse. De cette façon, l'utilisateur peut utiliser ses jambes pour diriger la voile. Pour ce faire, l'armature comporte des arceaux de manoeuvre supérieurs, manoeuvrables par les bras, et des arceaux de manoeuvre inférieurs, manoeuvrables par les jambes.According to another preferred characteristic, the boat comprises a nacelle forming a seat or the like, integral with the mast-transom assembly. In this way, the user can use his legs to steer the sail. To do this, the frame comprises upper maneuvering hoops, maneuverable by the arms, and lower maneuvering hoops, maneuverable by the legs.

L'utilisation simultanée des bras et des jambes, s'exerçant sur les différents arceaux ou "wishbones" permet d'augmenter la force s'exerçant sur la voilure, tout en diminuant la fatigue au niveau des bras. Le corps humain tout entier s'implique de façon entièrement nouvelle dans le pilotage de cette embarcation, tout en conservant le caractère sportif que l'on attend de ce type d'engin.The simultaneous use of the arms and legs, exercising on the different arches or "wishbones" allows to increase the force exerted on the wing, while reducing fatigue in the arms. The entire human body is involved in an entirely new way in piloting this boat, while retaining the sporting character that is expected from this type of gear.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation actuellement préféré d'une embarcation conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique générale de l'embarcation selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue schématique de détail, à plus grande échelle, de l'articulation blocable entre la traverse formant balancier et le flotteur principal;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de détail du bras d'articulation inférieur de l'armature de voile;
  • la figure 4 est une vue de détail de dessus, représentant la nacelle formant siège dans laquelle prend place l'utilisateur; et
  • la figure 5 est une vue de dessus de l'armature de voile.
The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the light of the following description of a currently preferred embodiment of a boat conforming to its principle, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a general schematic view of the boat according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a schematic detail view, on a larger scale, of the lockable joint between the cross member forming a pendulum and the main float;
  • Figure 3 is a detail view of the lower articulation arm of the sail frame;
  • Figure 4 is a detail view from above, showing the nacelle forming a seat in which the user takes place; and
  • Figure 5 is a top view of the sail frame.

Sur les dessins, on a représenté une embarcation sportive conforme au principe de l'invention et essentiellement constituée d'un flotteur principal 11, semblable à celui d'une planche à voile et muni ici d'une dérive 12 et d'un aileron arrière 13, d'un flotteur auxiliaire 14, d'une traverse formant balancier 16 reliant les deux flotteurs et d'un mât 18 portant une voile 19. La traverse formant balancier 16 est articulée auxdits flotteurs à chacune de ses extrémités, respectivement. Ces articulations sont ici matérialisées par des systèmes à tourillons 20, 21, respectivement, d'axes parallèles verticaux 20a, 21a, symbolisés par des traits interrompus sur la figure 1. Un moyen de blocage 24 de l'articulation entre ladite traverse 16 et le flotteur principal 11 est prévu. Il est ici agencé au voisinage du système à tourillon 21. Comme on le verra plus loin, ce moyen de blocage 24 est commandé par un mécanisme actionnable manuellement. Le flotteur auxiliaire est muni d'un moyen d'orientation automatique, tel qu'une queue spatulée 25 ou analogue. Avec cet agencement simple, le flotteur auxiliaire s'oriente toujours dans la direction du déplacement, parallèlement au flotteur principal. Le mât 18 est ici solidaire de la traverse formant balancier 16. La voile 19 est montée dans une armature rigide 28, par exemple en tube métallique, articulée à sa partie supérieure au mât 18, plus particulièrement à l'extrémité d'une vergue 30, elle-même fixée à ce mât. La même armature 28 est articulée à sa partie inférieure à un bras 32 légèrement incliné. Ce bras 32 est lui-même articulé par un tourillon 33 d'axe vertical à la traverse formant balancier 16. Le bras 32 pourrait être articulé au mât 18. Ce bras coopère avec des butées latérales 34, solidaires de la traverse, pour délimiter une plage de débattement de la partie inférieure de ladite armature. Les articulations de l'armature à la vergue 30 et au bras 32 sont avantageusement réalisées par des dispositifs connus sous le nom de "diabolos". Un tel dispositif se compose de deux axes alignés montés rotatifs l'un par rapport à l'autre et d'un flexible en matériau élastomère permettant un désaxage. On prévoit un "diabolo" 36 entre la vergue et l'armature et un "diabolo" 38 entre l'armature et le bras 32.The drawings show a sports boat conforming to principle of the invention and essentially consisting of a main float 11, similar to that of a windsurfing board and provided here with a fin 12 and a rear spoiler 13, an auxiliary float 14, a beam forming a beam 16 connecting the two floats and a mast 18 carrying a sail 19. The beam forming a beam 16 is articulated to said floats at each of its ends, respectively. These articulations are here materialized by trunnion systems 20, 21, respectively, of vertical parallel axes 20a, 21a, symbolized by broken lines in FIG. 1. A means 24 for locking the articulation between said crosspiece 16 and the main float 11 is provided. It is here arranged in the vicinity of the trunnion system 21. As will be seen below, this locking means 24 is controlled by a mechanism that can be actuated manually. The auxiliary float is provided with an automatic orientation means, such as a spatula tail 25 or the like. With this simple arrangement, the auxiliary float is always oriented in the direction of movement, parallel to the main float. The mast 18 is here integral with the cross member forming a pendulum 16. The sail 19 is mounted in a rigid frame 28, for example in metal tube, articulated at its upper part to the mast 18, more particularly at the end of a yard 30 , itself attached to this mast. The same frame 28 is articulated at its lower part to an arm 32 slightly inclined. This arm 32 is itself articulated by a pin 33 with a vertical axis to the cross member forming a balance 16. The arm 32 could be articulated to the mast 18. This arm cooperates with lateral stops 34, integral with the cross member, to delimit a travel range of the lower part of said armature. The articulations of the frame to the yard 30 and to the arm 32 are advantageously produced by devices known under the name of "diabolos". Such a device consists of two aligned axes rotatably mounted with respect to each other and a hose made of elastomeric material allowing an offset. A "diabolo" 36 is provided between the yard and the frame and a "diabolo" 38 between the frame and the arm 32.

L'embarcation comporte en outre une nacelle formant siège 40 ou analogue, solidaire de l'ensemble mât-traverse. L'utilisateur manoeuvre l'embarcation en étant assis dans cette nacelle. Dans l'exemple, ladite nacelle 40 se compose d'un arceau en tube fixé au mât et supportant une assise 41, par exemple en toile forte. La nacelle pourrait être raccordée à une autre partie que le mât, elle pourrait être solidaire d'un support fixé à la traverse. En outre, l'armature rigide 28 est munie, de part et d'autre de la voile 19, d'arceaux de manoeuvre transversaux (que l'on nomme couramment "wishbones" dans le domaine de la planche à voile). Dans l'exemple représenté, l'armature 28 comporte des arceaux de manoeuvre supérieurs 43, manoeuvrables par les bras, et des arceaux de manoeuvre inférieurs, 44, 45, manoeuvrables par les jambes. Des éléments 46 peuvent joindre des arceaux situés à des niveaux différents, pour faciliter le maintien des pieds de l'utilisateur.The boat further comprises a nacelle forming a seat 40 or the like, integral with the mast-transom assembly. The user operates the boat while seated in this nacelle. In the example, said nacelle 40 consists of a tube hoop fixed to the mast and supporting a seat 41, for example of heavy canvas. The nacelle could be connected to a part other than the mast, it could be secured to a support fixed to the crosspiece. In addition, the rigid frame 28 is provided on either side of the sail 19 with transverse operating hoops (which are commonly called "wishbones" in the field of windsurfing). In the example shown, the frame 28 comprises upper maneuvering hoops 43, maneuverable by the arms, and lower maneuvering hoops, 44, 45, maneuverable by the legs. Elements 46 can join arches located at different levels, to facilitate the maintenance of the feet of the user.

Le moyen de blocage commandé 24 consiste ici en un frein dont la mâchoire 48, solidaire de la traverse 16, se déplace en regard d'une bride annulaire 49 solidaire du flotteur principal 11. Les éléments mobiles de la mâchoire sont actionnés, via un câble 50, par un levier 51 situé au voisinage de la nacelle. Dans l'exemple, ce levier est fixé à l'arceau de la nacelle. Le frein pourrait aussi être du type a tambour; il pourrait être remplacé par un système à taquet et pignon cranté.The controlled locking means 24 here consists of a brake, the jaw 48 of which is secured to the cross member 16, moves opposite an annular flange 49 secured to the main float 11. The movable elements of the jaw are actuated via a cable 50, by a lever 51 located in the vicinity of the nacelle. In the example, this lever is fixed to the hoop of the nacelle. The brake could also be of the drum type; it could be replaced by a cleat and notched pinion system.

En fonctionnement, le frein est normalement serré par l'utilisateur, agissant sur le levier 51. Ce dernier est muni d'un mécanisme de verrouillage évitant d'avoir à le solliciter en permanence. L'orientation du flotteur principal par rapport à la traverse est donc fixé et déterminé par l'utilisateur. Le flotteur auxiliaire s'oriente automatiquement dans le sens du déplacement, grâce à la queue spatulée 25.In operation, the brake is normally applied by the user, acting on the lever 51. The latter is provided with a locking mechanism avoiding having to constantly apply it. The orientation of the main float relative to the cross member is therefore fixed and determined by the user. The auxiliary float automatically turns in the direction of movement, thanks to the spatula tail 25.

Lorsqu'il veut virer de bord, l'utilisateur relâche le frein, le flotteur principal pivote automatiquement en position vent arrière et simultanément l'utilisateur agit sur la voile pour faire pivoter le balancier et changer d'amure. Le flotteur auxiliaire pivote automatiquement pour se remettre en position suivant la nouvelle direction de déplacement. A la fin de la manoeuvre, l'utilisateur actionne à nouveau le frein pour bloquer l'articulation de la traverse par rapport au flotteur principal.When he wants to tack, the user releases the brake, the main float automatically rotates to the downwind position and simultaneously the user acts on the sail to rotate the balance and change tack. The auxiliary float rotates automatically to return to position in the new direction of travel. At the end of the maneuver, the user applies the brake again to block the articulation of the cross member with respect to the main float.
