Definitions
- the present invention relates to a watercraft propellable by human force and can be applied to recreation, sports training or even rehabilitation, for both healthy people and disabled.
- - Seating means may consist of a coating of a relatively flexible material which covers at least partially the bottom of the concave portion of the frame (U bottom), to serve as support for at least one user disposed astride in this part concave and pressing his hands on one of the floats so as to freely move his legs in the water and move with said craft.
- the frame usually has a gutter-shaped portion for accommodating an inflatable element, so that the immersed part of the machine generally has a density lower than that of water. Therefore, when the user sits astride the bottom of the frame and floats in the water, the center of gravity of the floating assembly whose submerged portion is subject to buoyancy is raised relative to on the surface of the water, which reduces the stability of this set.
- the invention therefore firstly aims to eliminate these disadvantages.
- a machine of the aforesaid type provided with a tubular frame comprising in its lower part at least one water access orifice and, in its upper part, at least one air passage orifice or vent , provided so that when the machine is disposed in the water, the frame fills at least partially with water, the water contained inside the frame then playing the role of a ballast.
- the vent may be equipped with closure means so as to allow the user to control the amount of water inside the frame, in particular for the purpose of adjusting the position of the center of gravity of the floating assembly relative to the center of rotation of the frame.
- these propulsion means may consist of a flexible fin or fin attached to one of the two uprights of the frame, substantially mid-height thereof and extending outwardly of the frame, in a plane passing through a axis of rotation of the frame, in the vicinity of said cable.
- the machine may comprise at least one rotatably mounted blade on the rear part of the frame (for example under the rear float), and at least one lever rotatably mounted on the front part of the frame, for example under the second float, transmission means being provided to obtain a flapping of the palm under the effect of the alternating tilting of the actuating lever.
- the machine may include two levers rotatably mounted on the front part of the frame and transmission means causing the flapping of the palm under the effect of the actuation of the two levers.
- the machine may include two flippers and two levers respectively mounted on the rear and front of the frame, each lever being coupled to a corresponding palm by an independent transmission means.
- the aforesaid fins and the aforesaid levers are rotatably mounted on a rigid structure housed inside the tubular frame and engaging between the two half-shells of said frame so as to obtain a disconnectable attachment.
- the aforesaid transmission means may comprise disengageable connections for adjusting the stroke of the levers relative to the stroke of the fins.
- the frame of the machine may be equipped with a crutch and / or rolling means on the ground.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrammatic sections illustrating the principle of operation of the watercraft, in the normal flotation position (FIG. 1), in the pivoted position towards the front (FIG. 2) and in the rotated position towards the rear (Figure 3);
- Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the machine illustrated in Figures 1 to 3;
- Figure 5 is a top view of the machine illustrated in Figure 4 in the assembled position
- Figures 6 and 7 are respectively side views ( Figure 6) and from above ( Figure 7) of an alternative embodiment of the machine according to the invention equipped with fins;
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of the machine shown in Figures 5 and 6;
- Figure 9 is a schematic cross section of the frame of the machine shown in Figures 6 to 8, at the drive axes;
- Figure 10 is a schematic cross section of the frame of the machine shown in Figures 6 to 9 at a set of return pulleys;
- FIG. 11 is a diagrammatic representation of the drive mechanism of the fins of the machine illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 10.
- the watercraft comprises a rigid tubular frame having an inverted ⁇ shape which comprises a central portion 1 substantially circular open in its upper part and whose two ends are bent and extended by two respective wings 2, 3 which are extend outwardly coaxially relative to each other and which each carry a mortise assembly profile 4, 5.
- These assembly profiles 4, 5 each comprise a vent E 1 , E 2 allowing communication of the interior volume of the tubular frame with the outside. These vents can be closed by a shutter Oi, O 2 for example needle type.
- This tubular frame may be made of a light material such as a plastic material.
- the central portion 1 of the tubular frame comprises in its lower part 6 an area covered by a flexible pad 7 in the form of a hemicylindrical shell for example of closed-cell expanded plastics material.
- This lining serves as a seat for a user 8 disposed astride the seat.
- the zone of the lower part 6 of the frame which is opposite to the lining 7 is provided with three water-passing orifices 8, 9, 10. These orifices 8, 9, 10 are intended to allow the filling of the tubular frame by means of water when it is at least partially immersed. This filling which is carried out by chasing the air contained by the wind Ei, E 2 allows to obtain a "ballast" of the watercraft.
- the water level inside the frame can optionally be adjusted to suit the user through the shutters Oi, O 2 equipping the wind.
- Each of the floats 11, 12 is equipped with two handles 15, 16 respectively disposed on either side of its assembly profile 13, 14.

- the frame comprises in its central region, substantially at half height, two radial attachment studs 21, 22 on each of which can come engage and fix, removably, a flat fin 23 elastically deformable which extends in a plane (in principle horizontal) perpendicular to the general plane of the frame.
- the fin 23 has a cardioid shape.
- this fin 23 on the frame is effected by means of a yoke 24 in which is engaged one of the two tenons 21, 22.
- the two wings of the yoke and the tenon are each crossed by two bores arranged so that in the assembled position of the tenon 21, 22 in the yoke 24, there are two through passages in which can be engaged two fastening pins optionally secured to one another to one of their ends.
- the frame When it is launched, the frame fills at least partially with water that enters through the holes and flushes a corresponding volume of air through the vents until it floats on the water thanks to the floats 11, 12, the central part 1 of the frame which is immersed then plays the role of a boat keel.
- the first mode of propulsion is to bow forward in relation to the horizontal and to pedal like a cyclist or to beat legs like a swimmer.
- the fin 23 is not used.
- the second mode of propulsion is to cause, by alternately tilting forwards and backwards and exerting a force on the handles 15, 16, a rotation of the frame in its plane about its axis of rotation R.
- Figure 2 illustrates a position of the user tilted backwards.
- the fin elastically deforms upward by accumulating potential energy that it releases then returning to its original position by exerting a force of propulsion of the machine forward.
- the user can adjust the water level inside the frame so as to bring as close as possible the center of gravity of all user / machine, the center of rotation of the machine.
- the tubular frame 30 of the nautical craft 31 is made of two half-shells 32, 33 of C-shaped cross-section, assembled to one another at the their side edges, through screws 34 passing through chambered holes whose chambers are intended to receive the heads of the screws 34 and / or nuts.
- the tubular frame 30 engages at its ends in cavities provided in the floats 35, 36, the locking being provided by a locking means such as for example one or more screws.
- these floats 35, 36 have on one side a curved shape 37 which extends outwardly from the frame 30 and, on the opposite side to the previous one, a serrated shape 38.
- This serrated shape 38 comprises two notches 39, 40 respectively located on either side of a central portion 41 having the cavity 42 in which engages an end of the tubular frame 30 ( Figure 7).
- each float In a vertical plane perpendicular to the longitudinal median plane of symmetry of the frame 30, each float is in a slightly flattened oval shape (FIG. 6).
- the convex shape 37 has two indentations 39 ', 40' located in the extension of the indentations 39, 40.
- the two floats 35, 36 have identical shapes and each further comprise through recesses 41, 42, 43, 44 vertically oriented which each delimit with the rim of the float a gripping handle 41 ', 42', 43 ', 44' .
- the central portion of the tubular frame comprises an upper zone covered by a flexible liner 45 consisting of a shell having in an upright transverse plane an inverted U-shaped section.
- the tubular frame has at least one water passage orifice 46 intended to allow a filling of the frame when it is at least partially immersed.
- the tubular frame 30 comprises two coaxial through holes 47, 48 oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the frame 30. These two bores 47, 48 are intended to ensure the passage of two respective coaxial drive shafts 49, 50 (FIG. 9).
- These two drive shafts 49, 50 are rotatably mounted on a rigid structure 51 housed inside the frame 30.
- levers 52, 53 are intended to be manually actuated by a user according to an alternating tilting movement between an anterior position in which they each engage each other in a corresponding recess 39, 40 of the float 36 at a posterior position. in which they are outside the indentations 39, 40.
- the bent form of the levers 52, 53 is intended to extend as far as possible forward the end of the levers that serve as handles to the user.

- the frame 30 comprises two coaxial holes oriented parallel to the holes 47, 48, which are intended to ensure the passage of two respective coaxial drive axes 56, 57 in a mounting similar to that shown in Figure 9.
- the attachment of the flippers on the drive shafts 56, 57 is performed by screwing, by means of fixing means allowing adjustment of the orientation of the flippers.
- the two drive shafts 49, 50 - 56, 57 located on the same side of the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the frame 30 are coupled to each other by a transmission mechanism of conventional type.
- this mechanism involves a transmission by cables and pulleys.
- the rigid structure 51 comprises a P beam having a bent shape corresponding to the bent form of the frame 30, here a substantially trapezoidal shape open at the large base.
- This beam P carries, at each of the pairs of holes 47, 48, a transverse axis 60 which extends coaxially with the drilling torques 47, 48, on either side of the beam P.
- the ends of this axis 60 which protrude from either side of the beam P constitute trunnions on which engage two respective tubular drive shafts 49, 50 each carrying inside the frame 30 a double drum T1, T2 - T3, T4 on which are fixed and wind the ends of two cables C1, C2 - Cl ', C2'.
