Abstract

The invention concerns a device for varying the capsizing torque of a multihull (12) consisting of at least two floaters (9) linked together by at least two beams respectively called front link beam (8) and rear link beam (6). The invention is characterised in that it comprises a geometrical platform (15) supporting a masting (1) and a crew dinghy (10) and said platform (15) is mounted transversely sliding on the multihull (12) to enable, depending on the equilibrium desired by the crew, the displacement of the masting (1) and the crew dinghy (10) from one side to the other of the multihull (12). The invention also concerns a multihull equipped with such a device.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant le déplacement latéral de la structure porteuse d'un gréement. The present invention relates to a device allowing lateral movement of the supporting structure of a rigging.

Le principe de fonctionnement d'un catamaran, ne lui permet pas d'atteindre les vitesses de pointe d'un trimaran aux allures du près : La première cause de ce problème est liée au couple de chavirement (ou bras de levier), étant plus petit que celui du trimaran. The operating principle of a catamaran, does not allow it to reach the top speeds of a trimaran with upwind gaits: The first cause of this problem is linked to the capsizing torque (or lever arm), being more smaller than that of the trimaran.

La deuxième cause directement liée à la précédente, ne permet pas au catamaran de porter une surface de voile identique.  The second cause directly linked to the previous one, does not allow the catamaran to wear an identical sail area.

La présente invention règle ce problème, apporte de nouvelles dimensions de fonctionnement et de réglages.  The present invention solves this problem, brings new dimensions of operation and adjustments.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de déplacer l'ensemble du gréement, qui se compose d'un espar (mât), de sa structure porteuse, ainsi que des haubans, permettant l'assemblage et le maintien du mât, nommé GREEMENT REGLABLE LATERALEMENT (G. R. L)
Le dispositif selon l'invention se compose d'une forme géométrique quelconque, (carré, rectangle, T, étoile), pourvue d'un bras, dans l'axe longitudinal de la structure, permettant le maintien de l'espar par son avant, et de deux autres points de fixation, situés sur les deuxtiers arrières de celui-ci. The device according to the invention makes it possible to move the whole of the rigging, which consists of a spar (mast), of its carrying structure, as well as shrouds, allowing the assembly and the maintenance of the mast, named LATERALLY ADJUSTABLE RIG (GR L)
The device according to the invention consists of any geometric shape (square, rectangle, T, star), provided with an arm, in the longitudinal axis of the structure, allowing the spar to be maintained by its front , and two other attachment points, located on the rear two thirds thereof.

Le principe de fonctionnement du déplacement latéral se conçoit par la fixation de rails et de chariots, permettant son déplacement, sur deux poutres, perpendiculaires à l'axe de l'engin.  The operating principle of the lateral displacement is conceived by the fixing of rails and carriages, allowing its displacement, on two beams, perpendicular to the axis of the machine.

Les différents avantages de ce nouveau type de gréement sont les suivants : - Augmentation et diminution du couple de chavirage en navigation.  The various advantages of this new type of rigging are as follows: - Increase and decrease in the capsizing torque when sailing.

- Déplacement de la charge totale de l'ensemble (trampolinegréement), en navigation.  - Displacement of the total load of the whole (trampolineregree), in navigation.

- Redressage de l'engin par ses propres centres de gravité.  - Straightening of the machine by its own centers of gravity.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :
La figure 1 présente deux vues de traversa et II). La première représente l'ensemble du Gréement Réglable Latéralement. La deuxième, identique, montre l'augmentation de la hauteur de l'espar et du bout dehors. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows two cross views and II). The first represents the whole of the Laterally Adjustable Rigging. The second, identical, shows the increase in the height of the spar and the bowsprit.

La figure 2 présente plusieurs dessins, vus de dessus, des différents supports réalisables (1, II et In.), pour l'application du Gréement à Réglage Latéral, ainsi que de l'option choisie (IV), en rapport au poids/résistance de la plate-forme et de son innovation architecturale sûr un catamaran. Les figures V et VI montrent les déplacements possibles.  Figure 2 presents several drawings, seen from above, of the various achievable supports (1, II and In.), For the application of the Rigging with Lateral Adjustment, as well as of the option chosen (IV), in relation to the weight / resistance of the platform and its architectural innovation on a catamaran. Figures V and VI show the possible displacements.

-Les différentes modifications apportées aux volumes des coques pour supporter la charge du G. R. L. et pour lui permettre, de trouver une assiette longitudinale plus stable lors des passages obligés dans les vagues.  -The various modifications made to the volumes of the hulls to support the load of the G. R. L. and to allow him, to find a more stable longitudinal attitude during the obligatory passages in the waves.

- Les points d'insertion des deux poutres lui permettant d'éviter l'enfournement, comme la bascule arrière.  - The insertion points of the two beams allowing it to avoid charging, like the rear rocker.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un espar (1) dont sa partie haute est munie d'un tangon (2), lui permettant de hisser la voile plus haut, qui a pour conséquence d'augmenter la surface de la voile par le bas (figure l) Le support de l'espar (1) est une étoile symétrique (3) dont le volume augmente vers son milieu (figure 1 et 3. ). Elle est munie d'une barre de liaison (4) qui reçoit sur sa partie inférieure, le rail de chariot (5) Ce rail de chariot permet le déplacement latéral de l'étoile (3) Sur sa partie supérieure, un rail de chariot (6) permet le réglage d'angle de la grande voile. Par le centre de l'étoile, et sur la partie inférieure, se trouve un chariot (7) qui permet, en conjugaison avec le rail de chariot arrière (8), de déplacer l'ensemble de celle-ci d'un bord à l'autre du bateau.  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a spar (1) whose upper part is provided with a pole (2), allowing it to hoist the sail higher, which has the consequence of increasing the surface of the sail by the bottom (figure l) The support of the spar (1) is a symmetrical star (3) whose volume increases towards its middle (figure 1 and 3.). It is provided with a connecting bar (4) which receives on its lower part, the carriage rail (5) This carriage rail allows the lateral movement of the star (3) On its upper part, a carriage rail (6) allows the angle of the mainsail to be adjusted. Through the center of the star, and on the lower part, is a carriage (7) which allows, in conjunction with the rear carriage rail (8), to move the whole of it from one edge to the other from the boat.

Ce nouveau Gréement Réglable Latéralement a donc été conçu pour ajuster les rapports poids/puissance/équilibre, dans le but : - d'augmenter la puissance dans le vent fort, - d'équilibrer les poids suivant la force du vent, - d'augmenter la puissance dans le vent faible, - de déplacer les centres de graviter, pour permettre un auto- redressage, - de naviguer confortablement, - d'augmenter la sécurité de l'équipage. This new laterally adjustable rigging has therefore been designed to adjust the weight / power / balance ratios, with the aim of: - increasing power in strong winds, - balancing weights according to wind strength, - increasing the power in the weak wind, - to move the centers of gravity, to allow self-righting, - to navigate comfortably, - to increase the safety of the crew.
