La présente invention concerne une bouée individuelle gonflable permettant de voir sous l'eau. The present invention relates to an inflatable individual buoy for viewing underwater.
Le secteur technique de l'invention est la bouée de loisirs permettant des activités aquatiques de surface, 5 en regardant les fonds sous-marins. The technical sector of the invention is the recreational buoy for surface water activities, 5 looking at the seabed.
L'objectif à atteindre est la réalisation d'une bouée portable et flottante, dont les rebords sont suffisamment hauts pour ne pas être gênés par les vagues. The goal is to build a buoyant, portable buoy, whose ledges are high enough not to be bothered by the waves.
On connaît actuellement diverses sortes de bouées gonflables. Il n'existe pas sur le marché de bouée gonflable ayant un hublot rigide et immergé permettant de voir sous l'eau. At present, various types of inflatable buoys are known. There is no inflatable buoy on the market with a rigid and submerged porthole for underwater viewing.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de voir sous l'eau sans porter de masque, en tenant la bouée. L'utilisateur a la tête hors de l'eau: son buste, en position horizontale, est appuyé à plat ventre sur la bouée. Les jambes et pieds sont immergés et assurent le déplacement de l'invention. The device according to the invention allows to see under the water without wearing a mask, while holding the buoy. The user has his head out of the water: his bust, in a horizontal position, is pressed flat on the buoy. The legs and feet are immersed and provide the displacement of the invention.
L'invention est composée de 3 parties: la bouée, le hublot transparent, et le châssis du hublot, ce dernier solidarise le hublot à la bouée et assure l'étanchéité. The invention is composed of 3 parts: the buoy, the transparent porthole, and the frame of the porthole, the latter secures the porthole to the buoy and ensures sealing.
La "bouée" est gonflable, en matière imperméable, remplie d'air ou de gaz. Elle est munie à l'avant d'une valve afin de la remplir et la vider, pour rangement et transport. La bouée assure le maintien sur l'eau, par flottaison, de l'invention et de son utilisateur. Sa partie avant fuselée permet de se diriger en nageant. Sa partie arrière est découpée de façon ergonomique pour le confort de l'utilisateur. La bouée peut être de plusieurs tailles (petite, moyenne, grande) selon la charge et le poids de l'utilisateur. The "buoy" is inflatable, impervious material, filled with air or gas. It is equipped at the front with a valve to fill and empty it, for storage and transport. The buoy ensures the maintenance on the water, by flotation, of the invention and its user. Its tapered front allows you to swim. Its rear part is cut ergonomically for the comfort of the user. The buoy can be of various sizes (small, medium, large) depending on the load and weight of the user.
Le "hublot", avec le châssis, constituent la partie rigide de l'invention. Le hublot est en contact permanent avec l'eau pour la vision sous-marine, même s'il est légèrement surélevé par la rondeur de la bouée. Son diamètre et son poids assurent la stabilité de la bouée. Son épaisseur - 2 - et le matériau transparent qui le compose contribuent à la solidité de l'invention. Du vernis anti-rayure est passé sur la face immergée du hublot, et de l'antibuée est pulvérisé sur la face non immergée du hublot. Pour l'entretien du hublot, il doit être rincé à l'eau claire après chaque utilisation. Lorsque l'utilisateur s'appuie sur la bouée, une force immerge le fond de la bouée, et toute la surface du hublot est en contact avec l'eau. The "porthole", with the frame, constitute the rigid part of the invention. The porthole is in constant contact with the water for underwater vision, even if it is slightly elevated by the roundness of the buoy. Its diameter and weight ensure the stability of the buoy. Its thickness - 2 - and the transparent material which composes it contribute to the solidity of the invention. Anti-scratch varnish is passed on the submerged face of the porthole, and anti-fog is sprayed on the non-submerged face of the porthole. For the maintenance of the porthole, it must be rinsed with clean water after each use. When the user leans on the buoy, a force submerges the bottom of the buoy, and the entire surface of the porthole is in contact with the water.
Le "châssis du hublot" constitue le système de jointure solidarisant la bouée et le hublot, dans lequel le hublot est encastré. Il détermine la position du hublot dans la bouée. Il permet le contact permanent du hublot avec l'eau en le situant légèrement en dessous du niveau de flottaison de l'invention en charge. Le "châssis du hublot" est thermo- formé dans la bouée ou collé sur la face interne de la bouée. Il épouse la forme de la bouée et la forme du hublot. Il est composé d'une matière non corrosive et suffisamment rigide pour tenir le hublot. The "frame of the porthole" is the joint system joining the buoy and the porthole, in which the porthole is recessed. It determines the position of the porthole in the buoy. It allows the permanent contact of the window with water by placing it slightly below the floating level of the invention under load. The "window frame" is thermo-formed in the buoy or glued to the inside of the buoy. He marries the shape of the buoy and the shape of the porthole. It is composed of a non-corrosive material and rigid enough to hold the porthole.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: - 2 poignées sont réalisées de chaque côté, pour la tenue et la direction de l'invention. According to particular embodiments: - 2 handles are made on each side, for holding and direction of the invention.
