Description

Les besoins de la technologie moderne en ce qui concerne l'utilisationThe needs of modern technology with regard to the use

appropriée de navires de toutes sortes a conduit à l'utilisation de points d'amarrage fixes sur certains fonds marins. Le cas qui est le plus courant est représenté par l'amarrage de bateaux-citerne pendant les opérations de  Appropriate vessels of all kinds have led to the use of fixed mooring points on some seabed. The most common case is represented by the mooring of tankers during

chargement.loading.

On va décrire un exemple de mode de réalisation de la présente invention en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels: la figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale de la structure; la figure 2 est une vue en plan de dessus; la figure 3 est une vue en coupe par III-III de la figure 1; et la figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 3, mais  An exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the structure; Figure 2 is a top plan view; Figure 3 is a sectional view through III-III of Figure 1; and FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG.

montrant la position d'attente de la structure.  showing the waiting position of the structure.

L'ensemble est donc composé essentiellement des parties constitutives suivantes: le bloc central 1, le bras rotatif  The assembly is therefore essentially composed of the following constituent parts: the central block 1, the rotary arm

2, et le châssis d'amarrage 3 (voir figure 1).  2, and the docking frame 3 (see FIG. 1).

Le bloc central 1 peut être fixé au fond de la mer sous l'effet de son propre poids ou par des poteaux implantés dans le lit de la mer. Autour du bloc central, se trouve un  The central block 1 can be fixed to the bottom of the sea under the effect of its own weight or by posts located in the bed of the sea. Around the central block, there is a

rail de guidage 9 sur lequel peut coulisser le chariot 10.  guide rail 9 on which the carriage 10 can slide.

Le bras rotatif 2 est articulé à son extrémité inférieure  The rotary arm 2 is articulated at its lower end

au chariot 10 et à son extrémité supérieure au châssis d'amar-  to the carriage 10 and at its upper end to the frame of amar-

rage 3 par le dispositif 5 de double articulation.  rabies 3 by the device 5 of double articulation.

Le châssis d'amarrage 3 est constitué par une structure tubulaire articulée au bras rotatif 2 au moyen du dispositif 5 de double articulation, des deux piliers 6 munis de blocs amortisseurs qui servent à procurer à l'embarcation des points d'amarrage momentanés quand celle- ci s'approche de la structure,  The mooring frame 3 is constituted by a tubular structure articulated to the rotary arm 2 by means of the device 5 of double articulation, the two pillars 6 provided with damping blocks which are used to provide the boat momentary mooring points when the one - it approaches the structure,

et des plans de contact 4.and contact plans 4.

Au sommet de l'un des piliers 6, se trouve un tuyau de chargement et au sommet de l'autre pilier est installé un compresseur 7 à moteur. Aux sommets des piliers 6 sont fixés momentanément les câbles d'amarrage finaux 8. Une partie de la structure du châssis d'amarraae 3 est cloisonnée de façon appropriée de sorte que, enactionnant des valves de décharge, on maintient la structure immergée dans une position d'attente (voir figure 4), tandis qu'en pompant de l'air à l'aide du compresseur 7 et en déplaçant ainsi l'eau qui a été retenue, on soumet la structure à une poussée positive appropriée  At the top of one of the pillars 6, is a loading pipe and at the top of the other pillar is installed a compressor 7 motor. At the tops of the pillars 6 are fixed momentarily the final mooring cables 8. A part of the structure of the mooring frame 3 is partitioned appropriately so that, by actuating discharge valves, the immersed structure is maintained in a position waiting (see Figure 4), while by pumping air with the compressor 7 and thus moving the water that has been retained, the structure is subjected to an appropriate positive thrust

vers le haut.to the top.

Les sommets des deux piliers 6 sont la seule partie émoergeant de la structure complète qui constitue l'ensemble d'amarrage. On manoeuvre le navire ou l'embarcation devant être amarré de manière qu'il se rapproche des deux piliers 6 et onl' amarre momentanément à ces derniers. En actionnant le compresseur, on imprime une poussée positive au châssis d'amarrage 3 de sorte que ce dernier, au début, fait venir les plans 4 en contact avec le fond de la coque, après quoi  The tops of the two pillars 6 are the only emoticing part of the complete structure that constitutes the mooring assembly. Maneuvering the vessel or boat to be moored so that it is close to the two pillars 6 and it moor momentarily to them. By operating the compressor, a positive thrust is imparted to the mooring frame 3 so that the latter, at the beginning, causes the planes 4 to come into contact with the bottom of the hull, after which

une autre poussée supplémentaire est appliquée.  another extra push is applied.

Les câbles d'amarrage 8 sont fixés à la coque, de sorte que le châssis d'amarrage 3 ne forme qu'un seul bloc avec le navire pendant tout déplacement de ce dernier sous l'effet des forces extérieures telles que le vent et les vagues (voir  The mooring cables 8 are attached to the hull, so that the mooring frame 3 forms a single block with the ship during any displacement of the latter under the effect of external forces such as wind and water. waves (see

figure 3).Figure 3).

enune rotation autour du bloc central 1.  in a rotation around the central block 1.

La nouveauté de l'invention et son avantage économique résident dans le fait quelle navire peut être amarré dans une position qui, de façon appropriée, se trouve près du centre de la coque de manière à réduire à un minimum les déplacements dûs aux vagues et au vent; la structure, quand aucun navire n'y est amarré, n'offre qu'un minimum de résistance aux forces extérieures qui sont réduites à la résistance offerte par les deux piliers faisant saillie de la surface de la mer et enfin, le tuyau de chargement s'étendant à partir du bas se trouve toujours protégé et est amené à tomber sur le  The novelty of the invention and its economic advantage lie in the fact that the ship can be moored in a position which is suitably close to the center of the hull so as to minimize the travel due to waves and wind; the structure, when no ship is moored there, offers only a minimum of resistance to external forces which are reduced to the resistance offered by the two piers protruding from the sea surface and finally the loading pipe extending from the bottom is always protected and is brought to fall on the

navire chaque fois que cela est nécessaire.  ship whenever necessary.

Il est bien entendu que la description qui précède n'a  It is understood that the foregoing description has not

été donnée qu'à titre purement illustratif et non limitatif et que des variantes ou des modifications peuvent y être  given merely as an illustration and not as a limitation and that variants or modifications may be
