Abstract

The procedure, designed for use in the manufacture of a boat hull (2) with a free shape and no exterior projections, consists of fixing transparent components (4) into pre-shaped recesses (5) in the hull with the aid of a mastic adhesive (7) and with no mechanical fixings. The transparent components can be made with developable surfaces or surfaces which can be hot or cold moulded. Some sections (8) of the hull can be left non-transparent, while the boat's framework can be made wholly or partly from transparent materials. In a variant of the design the hull can be hot-moulded in one piece. The transparent components are preferably made from a material with a high resistance to impact and breakage, with the mastic adhesive selected according to the material used and applied in a quantity sufficient to absorb the differences in expansion rates between the materials.

Description

L'invention concerne la fabrication de carènes transparentes pour bateau.The invention relates to the manufacture of transparent hulls for boats.

Elle est destinée à permettre la réalisation d'embarcations offrant la possibilité de vision sous-marine pour des activités industrielles ou de loisirs.It is intended to allow the realization of boats offering the possibility of underwater vision for industrial or leisure activities.

Les dispositifs permettant l'observation sous-marine depuis un bateau en surface font l'objet d'applications orientées
-soit sur le principe de hublots de tailles et de formes variables fixés
mécaniquement sur une coque et plus ou moins sphériques et protubérants.
Devices allowing underwater observation from a surface boat are the subject of oriented applications
-or on the principle of portholes of variable sizes and shapes fixed
mechanically on a shell and more or less spherical and protruding.

Ce système oblige à disposer d'une coque suffisamment vaste pour accueillir
les observateurs. La fragilité des parties transparentes protubérantes interdit
les évolutions dans les petits fonds irréguliers, les plus intéressants pour la
vision, et oblige à une attention soutenue lors des manoeuvres de port.
This system requires having a hull large enough to accommodate
the observers. The fragility of the protruding transparent parts prohibited
the developments in the irregular small bottoms, the most interesting for the
vision, and requires sustained attention during port maneuvers.

-soit sur des systèmes que l'on peut rétracter lorsque l'on veut assurer la bonne
marche du bateau (tel le brevet n" 2 609 959). Ce système limite la surface
de vision, est inconfortable pour l'observateur, nécessite une mise en oeuvre
lors de la vision et la maintenance des parties sensibles (joints).
- or on systems that can be retracted when you want to ensure good
boat operation (such as patent number 2 609 959). This system limits the surface
vision, is uncomfortable for the observer, requires implementation
during the vision and maintenance of sensitive parts (seals).

-soit sur des fonds plats constitués d'une plaque ancrée dans un prolongement
des bordés du bateau (telle la demande de brevet n" 2 544 685). Ce
dispositif emprisonnant un volume d'eau sous le fond du bateau gêne les
évolutions du bateau en route libre.
- either on flat bottoms consisting of a plate anchored in an extension
side of the boat (such as patent application no. 2 544 685).
device trapping a volume of water under the bottom of the boat hinders
developments in the free way boat.

Ces systèmes sont sujets aux problèmes de vieillissement des fixations mécaniques des parties transparentes sur la coque.These systems are subject to the problems of aging of the mechanical fixings of the transparent parts on the shell.

L'invention supprime ces inconvénients et permet de réaliser une carène lisse de forme quelconque, en forme ou à bouchains. Elle est constituée par la combinaison d'une charpente accueillant la bordure des éléments transparents constituant la carène. Les contours délimités par la charpente devant accueillir les bords des éléments transparents sont réalisés tels qu'ils présentent un renfoncement permettant la fixation des éléments transparents sans créer d'aspérité sur l'extérieur de la carène. Les éléments transparents sont fixés préférentiellement sans élément mécanique à l'aide d'un mastic-colle adapté aux matériaux en présence. The invention eliminates these drawbacks and makes it possible to produce a smooth hull of any shape, in shape or with chines. It is formed by the combination of a frame welcoming the border of the transparent elements constituting the hull. The contours delimited by the frame which should receive the edges of the transparent elements are made such that they have a recess allowing the fixing of the transparent elements without creating any roughness on the outside of the hull. The transparent elements are preferably fixed without mechanical element using a sealant suitable for the materials present.

Cette méthode n'empêche en rien d'équiper normalement le bateau suivant sa vocation.This method in no way prevents the boat from being normally equipped according to its vocation.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

La figure 1 représente une possibilité de disposition des éléments transparents sur
la charpente solidaire de la coque.
Figure 1 shows a possibility of arrangement of the transparent elements on
the frame integral with the hull.

La figure 2 représente en demi-coupe verticale une possibilité de coque selon
l'invention.
Figure 2 shows in vertical half-section a possible hull according to
the invention.

La figure 3 représente en demi-coupe horizontale une possibilité de coque selon
l'invention.
Figure 3 shows in horizontal half-section a possible shell according to
the invention.

En référence à ces dessins, la réalisation consiste en une charpente (1), partie de la coque de l'embarcation (2), présentant des évidements (3) ayant un contour correspondant aux contours des éléments transparents (4) finalisant la carène et les recevant.With reference to these drawings, the embodiment consists of a frame (1), part of the hull of the boat (2), having recesses (3) having a contour corresponding to the contours of the transparent elements (4) finalizing the hull and receiving them.

La périphérie des évidements (3) présente un renfoncement (5) permettant la fixation des éléments transparents (4) sans nuire à la forme extérieure de la coque.The periphery of the recesses (3) has a recess (5) allowing the fixing of the transparent elements (4) without harming the external shape of the shell.

La charpente (1) est réalisée en éléments métalliques mais peut être également réalisée en éléments transparents si la taille de l'embarcation le permet.The frame (1) is made of metal elements but can also be made of transparent elements if the size of the boat allows.

Cette charpente (1) peut servir d'appuis intermédiaires (6) aux surfaces transparentes (4) si leurs dimensions le nécessitent. Cette disposition permet l'utilisation de grands éléments transparents afin d'augmenter les surfaces sans raccord de fixation.This frame (1) can serve as intermediate supports (6) for transparent surfaces (4) if their dimensions require it. This arrangement allows the use of large transparent elements in order to increase the surfaces without fixing fittings.

Les éléments transparents (4) sont réalisés préférentiellement en polyméthacrylate de méthyle ou en polycarbonate présentant une haute résistance aux chocs et à la rupture.The transparent elements (4) are preferably made of polymethyl methacrylate or polycarbonate having a high resistance to impact and breakage.

Leur fixation est réalisée préférentiellement avec un mastic-colle (7) adapté aux matériaux en présence. La quantité déposée est fixée afin de permettre d'absorber la différence de dilatation des deux matériaux.They are preferably fixed with a sealant (7) adapted to the materials present. The quantity deposited is fixed in order to allow the difference in expansion of the two materials to be absorbed.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation:
-Les carènes peuvent comporter des parties non transparentes (8) réalisées de
façon classique, en particulier les zones avant et arrière pouvant subir des
efforts ou des chocs plus forts, ou des zones ne présentant pas d'intérêts pour
la vision sous-marine, par exemple cachées à la vue par les emménagements
du bateau tel que puits à chaînes, compartiments moteurs, sièges,
rangements, etc...
According to particular embodiments:
-The hulls may include non-transparent parts (8) made of
in a conventional manner, in particular the front and rear areas which may be subjected to
stronger forces or shocks, or areas of no interest to
underwater vision, for example hidden from view by accommodation
of the boat such as chain wells, engine compartments, seats,
storage, etc ...

-A l'inverse, les parties transparentes peuvent remonter au-dessus de la ligne
de flottaison pour faciliter la construction.
- Conversely, the transparent parts can go back above the line
buoyancy to facilitate construction.

-Les surfaces transparentes (4) peuvent être des surfaces développables, par
exemple des coques à bouchains, ou bien formées à chaud ou à froid.
-The transparent surfaces (4) can be developable surfaces, for example
example of chines hulls, or hot or cold formed.

Un fond plat transparent en est un mode particulier de réalisation non illustré
pour une embarcation monocoque ou multiflotteurs assurant le confort de
l'observateur qui peut alors être assis, à l'air libre, dans l'embarcation.
A transparent flat bottom is a particular embodiment not shown.
for a monohull or multi-float boat ensuring the comfort of
the observer who can then be seated, in the open air, in the boat.

Une barque réalisée à chaud en un élément transparent est un autre mode
particulier de réalisation non illustré.
Another mode is a boat made hot with a transparent element
particular embodiment not shown.

Dans ces deux cas une protection du fond est à prévoir pour empêcher son
frottement lors des mises à sec, par exemple à l'aide d'espaceurs.
In these two cases a bottom protection is to be provided to prevent its
friction when dry, for example using spacers.

C'est pourquoi les formes, dimensions et dispositions des différents éléments pourront varier dans la limite des équivalents sans changer pour cela la conception générale de l'invention qui vient d'être décrite. This is why the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the various elements may vary within the limit of the equivalents without thereby changing the general conception of the invention which has just been described.
