Description

La présente invention concerne une gaffe passe-amarre pour le passage d'un bout ou cordage sur un organe d'accrochage.The present invention relates to a mooring hook for the passage of a tip or rope on a hooking member.

On connaît déjà dans l'état de la technique, un certain nombre de gaffes de ce type qui permettent de passer n'importe quel type de bout ou de cordage, en simple ou en double, sur un organe d'accrochage tel qu'un anneau de coffre ou de ponton, ou autre.Already known in the state of the art, a number of gaffs of this type that can pass any type of end or rope, single or double, on a fastener such as a trunk or pontoon ring, or other.

De telles gaffes ont permis d'améliorer la sécurité par exemple à bord des bateaux, en facilitant les manoeuvres délicates et dangereuses d'amarrage de ceux-ci.Such gaffes have made it possible to improve safety, for example aboard the boats, by facilitating the delicate and dangerous maneuvers of mooring them.

Différents exemples de réalisation de telles gaffes ont été décrits dans les documents US-A-3 813 122, GB-A-723 835, GB-A-250 367, CH-A-587 144 et FR-A-2 667 291 (WO-A-92 05 996).Various examples of embodiments of such gaffs have been described in US-A-3813122, GB-A-723,835, GB-A-250,367, CH-A-587,144 and FR-A-2,667,291 ( WO-A-92 05 996).

On conçoit cependant que toutes ces gaffes présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients notamment au niveau de leur structure relative complexe, de leur poids, de leur encombrement et de leur utilisation relativement délicate.However, it is understood that all these gaffs have a number of disadvantages including their complex relative structure, their weight, their size and their relatively delicate use.

Ceci est en particulier le cas de la gaffe décrite dans le document FR-A-2 667 291 (WO-A-92 05 996) qui comporte deux branches 3 et 4, dont l'une 3, est munie d'un doigt 5, équipé de moyens de coincement 50 du cordage. Ce doigt et ces moyens de coincement permettent alors de maintenir en position le cordage lors de l'engagement sur l'organe d'accrochage et, lors du dégagement de la gaffe de cet organe, d'amener le cordage dans les moyens de coincement 40 de la branche 4, tout en le libérant des moyens de coincement 50 du doigt 5 de la branche 3, afin de permettre la récupération du cordage.This is particularly the case of the gaffe described in the document FR-A-2,667,291 (WO-A-92 05 996) which comprises two branches 3 and 4, one of which 3 is equipped with a finger 5 equipped with means of jamming 50 of the rope. This finger and these jamming means then allow the rope to be held in position during engagement with the catch member and, when the hook of this member is released, to bring the rope into the wedging means 40. of the branch 4, while releasing the wedging means 50 of the finger 5 of the branch 3, to allow recovery of the rope.

En particulier, la gaffe décrite dans ce document présente un poids et un encombrement importants qui en rendent l'utilisation difficile surtout si l'on considère que ce système est monté à l'extrémité d'un manche de manutention relativement long.In particular, the gaff described in this document has a weight and a large footprint that make it difficult to use especially considering that this system is mounted at the end of a relatively long handle.

Le but de l'invention est donc de résoudre ces problèmes.The object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une gaffe passe-amarre pour le passage d'un bout ou cordage sur un organe d'accrochage, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte à l'une de ses extrémités, des moyens en forme de pince à deux mâchoires, dont les extrémités sont en appui élastique l'une contre l'autre et dont une première comporte des moyens de guidage d'une portion d'extrémité repliée du bout, de manière que ce bout soit maintenu en position par pincement entre les extrémités des mâchoires et que son extrémité libre s'étende entre ces mâchoires, lors de l'engagement de la pince sur l'organe d'accrochage, et dont une seconde mâchoire comporte des moyens d'accrochage par coincement de l'extrémité correspondante du bout, pour permettre sa récupération lors du dégagement de la pince de l'organe d'accrochage, la pince étant adaptée pour être engagée sur l'organe d'accrochage par passage de celui-ci entre le bout et la seconde mâchoire de la pince munie des moyens d'accrochage de l'extrémité du bout, de manière à permettre à cet organe d'accrochage de franchir l'extrémité libre de ce bout entre les deux mâchoires de la pince et pour être dégagée de cet organe d'accrochage par passage de celui-ci entre le bout et la première mâchoire munie des moyens de guidage de l'extrémité du bout, pour pousser cette extrémité du bout à s'engager dans les moyens d'accrochage de la seconde mâchoire de la pince et en ce que la seconde mâchoire de la pince munie de moyens d'accrochage est réalisée à partir d'un fil d'acier élastique replié, dont les extrémités sont fixées sur le reste de la gaffe et dont les brins se rapprochent en direction de sa pointe, pour former les moyens d'accrochage par coincement du bout entre ces brins, une portion d'appui en regard des moyens de guidage de la première mâchoire et une portion de guidage de l'organe d'accrochage entre les mâchoires de la pince.For this purpose, the object of the invention is a hook-and-loop hook for the passage of a bit or rope on an attachment member, characterized in that it comprises at one of its ends, shaped means from pliers to two jaws, the ends of which bear elastically against one another and of which a first comprises means for guiding a folded end portion of the end, so that this end is held in position by pinching between the ends of the jaws and that its free end extends between these jaws, during the engagement of the clamp on the latching member, and a second jaw comprises hooking means by wedging the corresponding end of the end, to allow its recovery during release of the gripper of the fastener, the clip being adapted to be engaged on the fastening member by passing it between the end and the second jaw of the clamp provided with hooking means of the end of the end, so as to allow this fastener member to cross the free end of this end between the two jaws of the clamp and to be disengaged from this hooking member e by passage thereof between the end and the first jaw provided with guide means of the tip end, to push this end of the end to engage in the attachment means of the second jaw of the clamp and in that the second jaw of the clamp provided with hooking means is made from a folded elastic steel wire, the ends of which are fixed to the remainder of the hook and whose strands are approaching towards its tip, to form the hooking means by wedging the end between these strands, a bearing portion facing the guide means of the first jaw and a guide portion of the fastening member between the jaws of the clamp .

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • les Figs.1 et 2 représentent deux vues en perspective d'un exemple de réalisation d'une gaffe passe-amarre selon l'invention; et
  • les Figs.3,4,5,6 et 7 illustrent le fonctionnement d'une telle gaffe.
The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figs.1 and 2 show two perspective views of an embodiment of a hook-and-loop muffler according to the invention; and
  • Figs.3,4,5,6 and 7 illustrate the operation of such a blunder.

On reconnaît en effet sur ces figures, une gaffe passe-amarre qui permet le passage d'un bout ou cordage sur un organe d'accrochage constitué par exemple par un anneau de coffre ou de ponton.It is recognized in fact in these figures, a mooring hook that allows the passage of a tip or rope on a fastening member consisting for example of a trunk ring or pontoon.

Sur ces différentes figures, on reconnaît par exemple un embout d'extrémité désigné par la référence générale 1, adapté pour être engagé sur l'extrémité d'une tige de gaffe, cet embout permettant à la gaffe de remplir la fonction de passe-amarre telle que décrite.In these various figures, there is for example an end piece designated by the general reference 1, adapted to be engaged on the end of a gaff pin, this tip allowing the gaff to perform the mooring pass function as described.

Cet embout peut donc être réalisé séparément du reste de la gaffe comme cela est représenté sur ces figures. Cependant, il va de soi que cet embout peut également être directement intégré au reste de cette gaffe.This tip can be made separately from the rest of the gaff as shown in these figures. However, it goes without saying that this tip can also be directly integrated with the rest of this blunder.

Celle-ci comporte alors sur l'un des côtés de son extrémité correspondante, une partie en saillie latérale en forme de crochet, désignée par la référence générale 2, de type classique, à son extrémité, des moyens de forme de fourche, désignés par la référence générale 3, permettant le passage d'un bout désigné par la référence générale 4 sur les figures 3 à 7 et sur l'autre côté de son extrémité, des moyens en forme de pince, désignés par la référence générale 5, à deux mâchoires 6 et 7, dont des zones d'extrémité sont en appui élastique l'une contre l'autre.This then comprises on one of the sides of its corresponding end, a hook-shaped lateral projection part, designated by the general reference 2, of conventional type, at its end, fork-shaped means, designated by the general reference 3, allowing the passage of a tip designated by the general reference 4 in Figures 3 to 7 and on the other side of its end, means in the form of clamp, designated by the general reference 5, two jaws 6 and 7, whose end zones are elastically supported against each other.

Au moins l'une de ces mâchoires, c'est-à-dire par exemple une première mâchoire 6, comporte des moyens de guidage 6a d'une portion d'extrémité repliée 4a du bout 4 comme cela est illustré sur la figure 3.At least one of these jaws, that is to say for example a first jaw 6, comprises guiding means 6a of a folded end portion 4a of the end 4 as shown in FIG.

En fait, ces moyens de guidage de la première mâchoire 6 de la pince peuvent se présenter sous la forme d'un organe 6a à gouttière présentant la forme générale d'un V dont les branches sont inclinées et reliées au reste de la gaffe comme cela est illustré.In fact, these guide means of the first jaw 6 of the clamp may be in the form of a gutter member 6a having the general shape of a V whose branches are inclined and connected to the rest of the gaff like this is illustrated.

La seconde mâchoire 7 de la pince peut quant à elle se présenter par exemple sous la forme d'une épingle réalisée en fil d'acier élastique replié, par exemple à ressort, fixée à l'une de ses extrémités, par exemple par l'intermédiaire de tout moyen de fixation approprié 8, sur le reste de la gaffe.The second jaw 7 of the clamp may for its part be for example in the form of a pin made of folded elastic steel wire, for example spring-loaded, fixed at one of its ends, for example by the intermediate any suitable fastening means 8, on the rest of the gaff.

A cette extrémité de fixation, les brins 7a et 7b du fil replié de cette épingle sont proches l'un de l'autre, puis ceux-ci s'étendent en éloignement l'un de l'autre dans la partie intermédiaire de cette épingle, avant de se rapprocher à nouveau l'un de l'autre au niveau de la pointe de cette épingle, pour constituer une portion d'appui 9 en regard des moyens de guidage 6a de la première mâchoire 6 de la pince et une portion de guidage inclinée 10 adaptée pour coopérer avec l'organe d'accrochage comme cela sera décrit plus en détail par la suite, pour le guider dans la pince.At this end of attachment, the strands 7a and 7b of the folded wire of this pin are close to one another, and then they extend away from each other in the intermediate portion of this pin before approaching each other again at the point of this pin, to constitute a bearing portion 9 facing the guide means 6a of the first jaw 6 of the clamp and a portion of inclined guide 10 adapted to cooperate with the attachment member as will be described in more detail later, to guide it in the clamp.

Comme cela sera également décrit plus en détail par la suite, ces brins 7a et 7b constituent de plus des moyens d'accrochage par coincement du bout, afin de permettre sa récupération.As will also be described in more detail below, these strands 7a and 7b also constitute hooking means by wedging the tip, to allow its recovery.

On conçoit alors qu'en position initiale telle que représentée sur la figure 3, le bout 4 passe dans les moyens en forme de fourche 3 prévus à l'extrémité de la gaffe.It is then conceivable that in the initial position as shown in Figure 3, the tip 4 passes through the fork-shaped means 3 provided at the end of the gaff.

La portion d'extrémité 4a de ce bout 4 est repliée et passe dans les moyens de guidage 6a de la première mâchoire 6 de la pince, dans laquelle le bout 4 est maintenu par pincement entre les extrémités des mâchoires 6 et 7 et plus particulièrement par appui de la portion d'appui 9 de la seconde mâchoire en forme d'épingle 7 sur ce bout 4 dans les moyens de guidage 6a de la première mâchoire 6.The end portion 4a of this end 4 is folded and passes into the guide means 6a of the first jaw 6 of the clamp, wherein the tip 4 is held by gripping between the ends of the jaws 6 and 7 and more particularly by supporting the support portion 9 of the second pin-shaped jaw 7 on this end 4 in the guide means 6a of the first jaw 6.

L'extrémité libre de ce bout 4 s'étend alors entre les mâchoires 6 et 7 de la pince.The free end of this end 4 then extends between the jaws 6 and 7 of the clamp.

L'état de la gaffe illustré sur la figure 3 est alors l'état qui permet l'engagement de la pince de celle-ci sur l'organe d'accrochage comme cela est illustré sur la figure 4.The state of the gaffe illustrated in FIG. 3 is then the state that allows the clamp of the latter to be engaged on the hooking member as shown in FIG. 4.

En effet, lors de cet engagement de la pince sur l'organe d'accrochage illustré par exemple sous la forme d'un anneau désigné par la référence générale 11 sur cette figure 4, cet organe d'accrochage 11 pénètre dans la pince, en étant guidé par la portion de guidage 10 par exemple de la seconde mâchoire 7 et passe entre le bout 4 et la seconde mâchoire 7, par déformation élastique de celle-ci.Indeed, during this engagement of the clamp on the attachment member illustrated for example in the form of a ring designated by the general reference 11 in this figure 4, this attachment member 11 enters the clamp, in being guided by the guide portion 10 for example of the second jaw 7 and passes between the end 4 and the second jaw 7, by elastic deformation thereof.

La sollicitation élastique permet le maintien du bout 4 en position dans les moyens de guidage 6a de la première mâchoire 6 de la pince.The elastic biasing allows the holding of the tip 4 in position in the guide means 6a of the first jaw 6 of the clamp.

Ceci permet alors comme on peut le voir sur la figure 5, à cet organe d'accrochage 11 de franchir l'extrémité libre du bout 4 entre les deux mâchoires de la pince.This allows then as can be seen in Figure 5, this attachment member 11 to cross the free end of the end 4 between the two jaws of the clamp.

Lorsque l'on souhaite dégager la pince de l'organe d'accrochage, on peut alors constater que celui-ci se place entre le bout 4 et la première mâchoire 6 comportant les moyens de guidage 6a de ce bout, comme cela est illustré sur la figure 6.When it is desired to release the clamp of the attachment member, it can then be seen that it is placed between the end 4 and the first jaw 6 having the guide means 6a of this end, as shown on Figure 6.

L'organe d'accrochage 11 a alors tendance à pousser cette extrémité du bout 4 à s'engager dans les moyens d'accrochage de la seconde mâchoire élastique 7 de la pince et plus particulièrement entre les brins 7a et 7b constituant l'épingle formant cette mâchoire.The attachment member 11 then tends to push this end of the end 4 to engage in the attachment means of the second elastic jaw 7 of the clamp and more particularly between the strands 7a and 7b constituting the pin forming this jaw.

On a indiqué précédemment que les brins 7a et 7b de cette épingle se rapprochent en direction de sa pointe. Ceci constitue une sorte de fente de section progressivement décroissante, dans laquelle vient se coincer automatiquement l'extrémité du bout lors du dégagement de la pince de l'organe d'accrochage, cette extrémité du bout étant alors poussée dans cette fente par cet organe d'accrochage 11 lors de son dégagement de la pince 5.It has been indicated previously that the strands 7a and 7b of this pin are approaching towards its tip. This is a kind of slit of progressively decreasing section, in which is automatically jammed the end of the tip during the release of the gripper of the fastener, this end of the tip then being pushed into this slot by this body member. hooking 11 during its release of the clamp 5.

Une fois la portion d'extrémité du bout maintenue en position entre les brins 7a et 7b de l'épingle, il est alors possible comme cela est illustré sur la figure 7, de dégager complètement la pince 5 de l'organe d'accrochage 11 et de récupérer l'extrémité libre de ce bout 4 en laissant filer ce bout et en ramenant l'extrémité de la gaffe et donc l'extrémité libre du bout, par exemple sur le bateau.Once the end portion of the end held in position between the strands 7a and 7b of the pin, it is then possible as shown in Figure 7, to completely clear the clamp 5 of the fastening member 11 and of recover the free end of this end 4 by leaving this end and bringing back the end of the hook and therefore the free end of the tip, for example on the boat.

Il va de soi bien entendu que différents modes de réalisation de cette gaffe passe-amarre peuvent être envisagés.It goes without saying of course that different embodiments of this mooring gaffe can be envisaged.

Ceci est en particulier le cas de la seconde mâchoire 7 de la pince de cette gaffe.This is particularly the case of the second jaw 7 of the clamp of this blunder.

En effet, dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur ces figures, cette seconde mâchoire est réalisée à partir d'un fil d'acier replié dont les brins se rapprochent en direction de sa pointe.Indeed, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in these figures, this second jaw is made from a folded steel wire whose strands are approaching towards its tip.

Comme on l'a indiqué précédemment, cette épingle remplie à la fois des fonctions de maintien du bout en position et de guidage de l'organe d'accrochage, lors de l'engagement de la pince sur cet organe d'accrochage, et d'accrochage par coincement de l'extrémité libre du bout pour permettre sa récupération après le passage de ce bout dans l'organe d'accrochage.As indicated above, this pin fulfills both the functions of holding the tip in position and guiding the latching member, during the engagement of the clamp on the latching member, and hooking by wedging of the free end of the tip to allow recovery after the passage of this end in the fastener.

On conçoit que d'autres modes de réalisation de cette mâchoire peuvent être envisagés pour remplir ces différentes fonctions. Celle-ci peut être réalisée par exemple sous la forme d'une mâchoire rigide articulée sur le reste de la gaffe et sollicitée en appui contre l'autre mâchoire par exemple par un ressort ou autre.It is conceivable that other embodiments of this jaw can be envisaged to fulfill these different functions. This can be achieved for example in the form of a rigid jaw hinged to the rest of the gaff and biased against the other jaw for example by a spring or the like.

On conçoit alors que cette gaffe passe-amarre présente un certain nombre d'avantages par rapport aux gaffes de l'état de la technique.It is conceivable that this mooring gaffe has a number of advantages over gaffs of the state of the art.

En effet, la gaffe selon l'invention présente une structure extrêmement simple, ce qui permet d'une part, de réduire l'encombrement et le poids de la gaffe et d'autre part, d'en faciliter la manipulation.Indeed, the gaffe according to the invention has an extremely simple structure, which on the one hand, to reduce the size and weight of the hook and on the other hand, to facilitate handling.
