Description

DISPOSITIF POUR FAIRE PASSER UN CORDAGE AUTOUR D'UN ELEMENT D'ANCRAGE DEVICE FOR PASSING A ROPE AROUND AN ANCHORING ELEMENT
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour faire passer automatiquement et aisément un cordage autour d'un élément d'ancrage.The present invention relates to a device for automatically and easily passing a rope around an anchoring element.
Il comporte une fourche à deux branches dont l'écartement mutuel est suffisant pour permettre l'introduction de l'élément d'ancrage entre elles.It comprises a fork with two branches whose mutual spacing is sufficient to allow the introduction of the anchoring element between them.
Un tel dispositif trouve une de ses applications pour l'amarrage d'embarcations. Il permet de faire passer un cordage autour de l'anneau d'une bouée ou d'une barre d'amarrage.One such device finds one of its applications for mooring boats. It allows to pass a rope around the ring of a buoy or a mooring bar.
Il peut également être utilisé pour passer un cordage autour d'une barre, par exemple dans le but de soulever un objet. Plus généralement, il trouve son application dès lors que l'on souhaite faire passer un cordage autour d'un élément d'ancrage difficile à atteindre manuellement.It can also be used to pass a rope around a bar, for example in order to lift an object. More generally, it finds its application when it is desired to pass a rope around an anchoring element which is difficult to reach manually.
Un dispositif de ce genre est décrit dans US-A-3 813 122. Il est constitué d'une fourche à deux branches et d'un élément plat et allongé dénommé "navette". Les extrémités des branches de la fourche présentent chacune une ouverture, celles-ci étant dirigées dans des directions opposées. La navette comporte une lumière pour le passage d'un cordage ainsi que les plots destinés à être positionnés dans les ouvertures des branches de la fourche. La mise en place du cordage autour d'un élément d'ancrage se fait en poussant la navette contre cet élément, ce qui provoque son pivotement autour d'un des plots. Par traction sur le cordage on ramène la navette dans sa position initiale puis on tire sur la fourche de manière à faire pivoter la navette autour de l'autre plot. On a ainsi réalisé le passage du cordage autour de l'élément d'ancrage.A device of this kind is described in US-A-3,813,122. It consists of a fork with two branches and a flat and elongated element called "shuttle". The ends of the fork legs each have an opening, which are directed in opposite directions. The shuttle includes a light for the passage of a rope as well as the studs intended to be positioned in the openings of the branches of the fork. The placing of the rope around an anchoring element is done by pushing the shuttle against this element, which causes it to pivot around one of the studs. By pulling on the line, the shuttle is brought back to its initial position and then the fork is pulled so as to rotate the shuttle around the other stud. The passage of the rope around the anchoring element was thus carried out.
Du fait que la navette présente deux points de pivotement, elle constitue une pièce indépendante du reste du dispositif. A ce titre, elle est susceptible de se détacher inopinément de la fourche et ainsi, d'être égarée ou de tomber à l'eau lorsqu'on réalise l'amarrage d'un bateau. De plus, son maniement nécessite un certain entraînement. La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients.Because the shuttle has two pivot points, it constitutes an independent part from the rest of the device. As such, it is likely to come off unexpectedly from the fork and thus, to be lost or fall into the water when mooring a boat. In addition, its handling requires a certain training. The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
A cet effet, elle propose un dispositif pour faire passer un cordage autour d'un point d'ancrage de maniement facile et dont le prix de revient est relativement bas. Il s'agit d'un dispositif qui ne présente aucune pièce amovible, ce qui élimine les risques d'égarement ou de perte.To this end, it offers a device for passing a rope around an anchor point of easy handling and whose cost is relatively low. It is a device that has no removable parts, which eliminates the risk of loss or loss.
Ce dispositif, qui est constitué par une fourche à deux branches dont l'écartement mutuel est suffisant pour permettre l'introduc¬ tion de l'élément d'ancrage entre elles, est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte un doigt articulé à l'extrémité d'une première branche et en ce qu'il est prévu des premier et second moyens de coincement du cordage, l'un sur le doigt et l'autre sur la seconde branche de la fourche, sensiblement en regard du doigt, de telle sorte que, dans un premier temps, le cordage est rendu solidaire du premier moyen de coincement, puis, après introduction de l'élément d'ancrage entre les branches de la fourche, il quitte le premier moyen de coincement pour venir en prise avec le second moyen de coincement, ce qui réalise le passage du cordage autour de l'élément d'ancrage.This device, which consists of a fork with two branches whose mutual spacing is sufficient to allow the introduction of the anchoring element between them, is characterized in that it comprises a finger articulated at the end of a first branch and in that there are provided first and second means for wedging the rope, one on the finger and the other on the second branch of the fork, substantially opposite the finger, so that, initially, the rope is made integral with the first clamping means, then, after introduction of the anchoring element between the legs of the fork, it leaves the first clamping means to engage with the second wedging means, which realizes the passage of the rope around the anchoring element.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses mais non limitatives : - l'un au moins des moyens de coincement consiste en une découpure prévue dans la branche et/ou dans le doigt ;According to other advantageous but non-limiting characteristics: - at least one of the wedging means consists of a cutout provided in the branch and / or in the finger;
- la découpure a la forme générale d'un "V" à ailes rapprochées, dont la pointe est dirigée vers l'extrémité libre des branches ;- the cutout has the general shape of a "V" with close wings, the point of which is directed towards the free end of the branches;
- le moyen de coincement prévu sur le doigt consiste en une paire de pattes élastiques entre lesquelles le cordage est coincé ;- The wedging means provided on the finger consists of a pair of elastic tabs between which the rope is trapped;
- l'une des branches est disposée dans le prolongement du manche de la fourche ;- one of the branches is arranged in the extension of the handle of the fork;
- l'autre branche se prolonge du côté du manche par une pointe formant crochet. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaî¬ tront de la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation qui va suivre, description faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :- the other branch is extended on the side of the handle by a hook point. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear from the detailed description of an embodiment which follows, description made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en coupe longitudinale partielle d'une partie du dispositif ; - la figure 2 est une vue de face de l'extrémité d'une des branches de la fourche ;- Figure 1 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of part of the device; - Figure 2 is a front view of the end of one of the legs of the fork;
- la figure 3 est une vue de dessus (à plus grande échelle) du doigt qui équipe le dispositif ; - la figure est une vue destinée à montrer comment s'effectue la mise en place d'un cordage sur le dispositif de l'invention ;- Figure 3 is a top view (on a larger scale) of the finger which equips the device; - The figure is a view intended to show how the establishment of a rope is carried out on the device of the invention;
- les figures 5 à 9 sont des vues schématiques destinées à expliquer la mise en place d'un cordage autour d'un élément d'ancrage à l'aide du dispositif de l'invention. Le dispositif objet de l'invention est une gaffe ayant la forme générale d'une fourche. Il comprend un manche 1 réalisé en matière plastique ou en métal. De préférence, celui-ci est formé de plusieurs tronçons adaptables les uns aux autres par exemple par vissage, ce qui permet, en période de non utilisation du dispositif, de le ranger plus facilement.- Figures 5 to 9 are schematic views intended to explain the establishment of a rope around an anchoring element using the device of the invention. The device which is the subject of the invention is a gaff having the general shape of a fork. It includes a handle 1 made of plastic or metal. Preferably, it is formed of several sections adaptable to each other for example by screwing, which allows, when not in use of the device, to store it more easily.
A l'une des extrémités de ce manche est fixé un organe 2 à deux branches. Il y est fixé par exemple par collage, vissage ou par d'autres moyens de fixation connus de l'homme du métier. Selon une variante de réalisation, le manche 1 et l'organe 2 forment une seule pièce. Cet organe 2 comprend deux branches 3 et 4 qui s'étendent parallèlement l'une à l'autre et sensiblement dans le même plan. Ainsi qu'on le voit à la figure 1, la branche se situe dans le prolongement du manche 1 et la branche 3 est décalée par rapport à celui-ci.At one end of this handle is attached a member 2 with two branches. It is fixed there for example by gluing, screwing or by other fixing means known to those skilled in the art. According to an alternative embodiment, the handle 1 and the member 2 form a single piece. This member 2 comprises two branches 3 and 4 which extend parallel to each other and substantially in the same plane. As seen in Figure 1, the branch is located in the extension of the handle 1 and the branch 3 is offset from it.
L'organe 2 est réalisé en matière plastique, par exemple par moulage.The member 2 is made of plastic, for example by molding.
La branche présente une longueur plus importante que celle de la branche 3. Celles-ci sont réunies par une zone intermédiaire 7 qui présente, du côté des branches 3 et , un profil incurvé. Du côté opposé à ces branches, la zone 7 est également incurvée et se prolonge du même côté que le manche, et sensiblement parallèlement à ce dernier, par une pointe 8 formant crochet, qui se situe sensiblement dans le prolongement de la branche 3. On expliquera plus loin l'utilité d'une telle pointe. L'écartement mutuel entre les branches 3 et 4 est suffisant pour permettre l'introduction d'un élément d'ancrage dont la section est de taille moyenne. Cet écartement est par exemple de l'ordre de 50 mm lorsque le dispositif est destiné à l'amarrage d'une embarcation ; il peut être toutefois plus important.The branch has a greater length than that of the branch 3. These are joined by an intermediate zone 7 which has, on the side of the branches 3 and, a curved profile. On the side opposite these branches, the area 7 is also curved and extends on the same side as the handle, and substantially parallel to the latter, by a point 8 forming a hook, which is located substantially in the extension of the branch 3. On will explain later the usefulness of such a tip. The mutual spacing between the branches 3 and 4 is sufficient to allow the introduction of an anchoring element whose section is of medium size. This spacing is for example of the order of 50 mm when the device is intended for mooring a boat; however, it may be more important.
Dans le corps creux de la branche 4, et du côté de la branche 3, est prévue une découpure 0 dirigée sensiblement selon l'axe de la branche. Ainsi que le montre la figure 2, cette découpure présente sensiblement une forme en "V" comportant des ailes rapprochées, la pointe 400 du "V" étant dirigée vers l'extrémité libre de la branche et présentant une forme arrondie.In the hollow body of the branch 4, and on the side of the branch 3, there is provided a cutout 0 directed substantially along the axis of the branch. As shown in Figure 2, this cutout has a substantially "V" shape with close wings, the tip 400 of the "V" being directed towards the free end of the branch and having a rounded shape.
La branche 3 est délimitée à sa base, c'est-à-dire du côté du manche 1, par une paroi ou lèvre de matière plastique 30 qui s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement à cette branche. Cette dernière a une forme sensiblement tubulaire mais est ouverte du côté de la branche 4.The branch 3 is delimited at its base, that is to say on the side of the handle 1, by a wall or lip of plastic material 30 which extends substantially perpendicular to this branch. The latter has a substantially tubular shape but is open on the side of the branch 4.
Comme le montre plus nettement la figure 3, la section droite de la branche 3 présente la forme d'une chape en "U" dont les ailes 31 sont dirigées vers la branche 4. Entre les ailes 31 et sensiblement perpendicu- lairement à celles-ci est fixée une petite tige 32 d'axe XX' formant axe de rotation pour un doigt tubulaire 5 en matière plastique. Bien entendu, ce doigt présente un diamètre adapté pour pouvoir pivoter autour de l'axe XX' sans être gêné par les ailes 31.As shown more clearly in FIG. 3, the cross section of the branch 3 has the shape of a "U" yoke whose wings 31 are directed towards the branch 4. Between the wings 31 and substantially perpendicular to them is fixed a small rod 32 of axis XX 'forming an axis of rotation for a tubular finger 5 of plastic. Of course, this finger has a diameter suitable for being able to pivot around the axis XX 'without being hindered by the wings 31.
De la même façon que la branche 4, le doigt 5 présente une découpure en "V" à pointe arrondie 500, la pointe étant dirigée vers l'extrémité libre de la branche 3. Bien entendu, le débattement angulaire du doigt 5 est limité par la paroi de la branche 3, dans sa partie formant la base du "U".In the same way as the branch 4, the finger 5 has a "V" cutout with a rounded tip 500, the tip being directed towards the free end of the branch 3. Of course, the angular movement of the finger 5 is limited by the wall of the branch 3, in its part forming the base of the "U".
Il est à noter que le doigt 5 est fixé à demeure sur le corps de la fourche.It should be noted that the finger 5 is permanently fixed to the body of the fork.
Nous allons maintenant expliquer, plus spécialement en référence aux figures 4 à 9, la façon dont on utilise le dispositif de l'invention pour faire passer un cordage autour d'un élément d'ancrage. Dans ce but, nous allons supposer que l'on désire amarrer un bateau à un élément d'ancrage, par exemple à une barre représentée en coupe, et référencée 9.We will now explain, more specifically with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9, the way in which the device of the invention is used to pass a rope around an anchoring element. For this purpose, we will assume that we want to moor a boat to an anchor, for example to a bar shown in section, and referenced 9.
Dans un premier temps, le doigt 5 de la fourche étant dans la position représentée aux figures 1 et 4, c'est-à-dire rabattu contre la branche 3, on positionne le cordage C_ de telle manière que son extrémité vienne en appui contre la lèvre 30 de la branche 3. De plus, on opère une pression sur le cordage de manière à ce qu'il s'engage dans la découpure 50 et qu'il vienne se loger partiellement à l'intérieur du doigt 5. Bien entendu, on utilisera un cordage de diamètre compatible avec les dimensions de la découpure 50. Il est à noter que différents diamètres de cordage peuvent être utilisés, le coincement se faisant alors dans des zones différentes de la découpure. Lorsque cette mise en place est effectuée, on rabat le cordage de manière qu'il longe la branche 3. Dans un deuxième temps, on opère une traction sur le cordageInitially, the finger 5 of the fork being in the position shown in Figures 1 and 4, that is to say folded against the branch 3, the rope C_ is positioned so that its end comes to bear against the lip 30 of the branch 3. In addition, pressure is applied to the rope so that it engages in the cutout 50 and it comes to be housed partially inside the finger 5. Of course , a rope of diameter compatible with the dimensions of the cutout 50 will be used. It should be noted that different diameters of rope can be used, the wedging then taking place in different areas of the cutout. When this establishment is carried out, the rope is folded down so that it runs along the branch 3. In a second step, a pull is made on the rope
Ç_, dans le sens de la flèche , ce qui provoque le pivotement du doigt 5. Ce pivotement est limité angulairement du fait que l'extrémité du cordage quitte la lèvre 30 pour venir en butée à l'intérieur de la découpure 40 de la branche 4. Dans cette position, le doigt 5 occupe une position sensiblement perpendiculaire aux branches 3 et 4 ; il "ferme" l'espace E situé entre ces deux branches.Ç_, in the direction of the arrow, which causes the pivoting of the finger 5. This pivoting is limited angularly because the end of the rope leaves the lip 30 to come into abutment inside the cutout 40 of the branch 4. In this position, the finger 5 occupies a position substantially perpendicular to the branches 3 and 4; it "closes" the space E located between these two branches.
Dans une étape ultérieure, on déplace le dispositif en direction de la barre 9 dans le sens de la flèche , comme le montre la figure 5. Cette opération provoque l'effacement du doigt 5 qui revient dans sa position initiale représentée sur la figure 4, pour permettre l'introduction de la barre 9 à l'intérieur de l'espace E. On atteint alors la position représentée à la figure 6.In a subsequent step, the device is moved in the direction of the bar 9 in the direction of the arrow, as shown in FIG. 5. This operation causes the erasure of the finger 5 which returns to its initial position shown in FIG. 4, to allow the introduction of the bar 9 inside the space E. The position shown in FIG. 6 is then reached.
La traction étant maintenue sur le cordage C_, le doigt 5 reprend sa position où il ferme l'espace E. On se trouve alors dans la situation illustrée à la figure 7.With the traction maintained on the line C_, the finger 5 returns to its position where it closes the space E. We are then in the situation illustrated in FIG. 7.
On tire alors la fourche vers soi c'est-à-dire dans le sens de la flèche h (figure 8). Durant cette opération, la barre 9 vient prendre appui contre le doigt 5 et le repousse hors de l'espace E. L'extrémité du cordage vient alors en prise à l'intérieur de la découpure 40 de la branche 4 alors que le doigt 5, pivote en dehors de l'espace E pour occuper finalement une position sensiblement parallèle et dans le prolongement de la branche 3. Le doigt 5 étant en matière plastique, la manoeuvre de pivotement est facilitée par la déformation élastique de celle-ci.The fork is then pulled towards you, that is to say in the direction of the arrow h (Figure 8). During this operation, the bar 9 comes to bear against finger 5 and pushes it out of space E. The end of the rope then engages inside the cutout 40 of the branch 4 while the finger 5, pivots outside the space E to finally occupy a substantially parallel position and in the extension of the branch 3. The finger 5 being made of plastic, the pivoting operation is facilitated by the elastic deformation thereof.
On a donc fait passer l'extrémité du cordage C_ autour de la barre 9. Enfin, comme le montre la figure 9, il suffit de continuer à tirer à soi la fourche pour pouvoir récupérer l'extrémité du cordage, à condition, bien entendu, d'avoir lâché au préalable celui-ci. La description du fonctionnement du dispositif de l'invention qui vient d'être faite se rapporte à l'amarrage d'un bateau. Bien entendu, diverses applications sont possibles, par exemple pour permettre à un ouvrier de s'attacher à une structure d'échafaudage.We therefore passed the end of the line C_ around the bar 9. Finally, as shown in Figure 9, it suffices to continue to pull the fork to yourself to be able to recover the end of the line, provided, of course , to have released it beforehand. The description of the operation of the device of the invention which has just been made relates to the mooring of a boat. Of course, various applications are possible, for example to allow a worker to attach to a scaffolding structure.
Il peut être prévu sur le doigt 5, au niveau de son articulation sur la branche 3, deux lumières identiques qui s'étendent parallèlement au grand axe du doigt et qui autorisent, lors de sa manoeuvre de pivotement hors de l'espace, un certain déplacement du doigt vers la branche 3, ce qui en facilite le dégagement.It can be provided on finger 5, at its articulation on branch 3, two identical slots which extend parallel to the major axis of the finger and which allow, during its pivoting maneuver out of space, a certain displacement of the finger towards the branch 3, which facilitates its release.
Selon une variante de réalisation, la découpure prévue dans le doigt 5 peut être remplacée par deux petites pattes élastiques entre lesquelles le cordage est coincé.According to an alternative embodiment, the cutout provided in the finger 5 can be replaced by two small elastic tabs between which the rope is trapped.
Selon une autre variante, la branche 3 peut être formée de deux languettes planes et parallèles formant une chape dans laquelle est articulé le doigt 5. Elle peut également être formée d'une seule languette sur les chants de laquelle est articulé le doigt.According to another variant, the branch 3 can be formed from two flat and parallel tongues forming a yoke in which the finger 5 is articulated. It can also be formed from a single tongue on the edges of which the finger is articulated.
On notera que la pointe 8 formant crochet du dispositif permet d'utiliser celui-ci comme gaffe de traction, pour permettre un accrochage momentané d'une embarcation, par exemple pour la rapprocher une embarcation d'un quai. Du fait de la simplicité d'utilisation du dispositif de l'invention, on peut le manier d'une seule main, ce qui est pratique lorsqu'on est sur une embarcation.It will be noted that the point 8 forming the hook of the device makes it possible to use it as a traction hook, to allow a temporary attachment of a boat, for example to bring it closer to a boat from a quay. Due to the simplicity of use of the device of the invention, it can be operated with one hand, which is practical when one is on a boat.
Bien entendu, si la section du cordage à passer autour de l'élément d'ancrage n'est pas adaptée aux dimensions des découpures, il suffit de lier ce cordage à un autre présentant la section requise. Of course, if the section of the rope to pass around the anchoring element is not suitable for the dimensions of the cutouts, it is sufficient to link this rope to another having the required section.
