Description

"Nacelle servant d'élément de base pour un engin de déplacement pouvant être associée à d'autres éléments permettant quatre modes de dépla¬ cement". "Nacelle serving as a basic element for a displacement machine that can be associated with other elements allowing four modes of displacement".
L'invention a pour objet un élément de base dénommé nacelle pouvant être utilisée pour quatre modes de déplacement : roulant, flottant, glissant et volant, lesdits modes de déplacement pouvant être associés aux trois moyens de propulsion :The subject of the invention is a basic element called a nacelle which can be used for four modes of movement: rolling, floating, sliding and flying, said modes of movement being able to be associated with the three means of propulsion:
- musculaire (rames)- muscle (oars)
- éolienne (voile) - motorisée (hélices marines, hélices aériennes)- wind turbine (sail) - motorized (marine propellers, aerial propellers)
La nacelle selon l'invention permet d'utiliser un engin de déplacement à partir d'un élément de base multifonction mixte (loisir et professionnel) à faible coût de réalisation, susceptible d'être produit en grande série. Les domaines d'utilisation prioritaires sont l'eau, la neige, l'air. Le remorquage sur route est toujours possible qu≥lles gj2 solmt les versicr-s. La contradiction apparente entre les formules lentes et les formules rapides est résolue par le développement d'un élément de base qui est dénommé "nacelle".The nacelle according to the invention makes it possible to use a displacement machine from a mixed multifunction base element (leisure and professional) at low production cost, capable of being produced in large series. The priority areas of use are water, snow, air. Road towing is always possible that the gj2 solmt the other. The apparent contradiction between slow formulas and fast formulas is resolved by the development of a basic element which is called "pod".
Ladite nacelle peut être complétée par des accessoires liés aux modes de déplacement et aux moyens de propulsion choisis.Said nacelle can be supplemented by accessories linked to the modes of movement and to the means of propulsion chosen.
La nacelle de base peut être équipée par tout type de flotteurs ce qui la rend utilisable soit à l'aviron, soit à la voile, soit avec un moteur hors bord.The basic nacelle can be fitted with any type of float, which makes it usable either by rowing, sailing, or with an outboard motor.
La motorisation de la nacelle avec un moteur type ULM (Ultra léger motorisé) permet compte tenu du volant et des différentes commandes l'utilisation soit sur " eau, soit sur neige, soit sur glace, soit en version volante.The motorization of the nacelle with a ULM type motor (Ultra light motorized) allows, taking into account the steering wheel and the various commands, the use either on " water, or on snow, or on ice, or in flying version.
L'adaptation de roues sur la nacelle permet l'utilisation en char à voile et permet le remorquage avec ou sans les flotteurs, avec ou sans les skis.The adaptation of wheels on the nacelle allows the use in sand yachting and allows towing with or without the floats, with or without the skis.
Ces différents engins, issus de la même nacelle de base, sont susceptibles d'être complètes par des équipements modulaires optionnels spécifiques assurant une fonction particulière (bulle plexi pouvant être chauffée, civières, vol sous dirigeable etc )These different machines, coming from the same basic nacelle, are likely to be completed by specific optional modular equipment ensuring a particular function (plexi bubble that can be heated, stretchers, flight under airship etc)
A cet effet, la nacelle selon l'invention a une forme en voûte avec appuis latéraux et une courbe vers l'avant lui permettant une pénétration dans l'air ne nécessitant que peu d'énergie. La stabilité à grande vitesse est assurée par des volets situés à l'avant de chaque côté et orientables. La forme en voûte assure la rigidité latérale. Le caisson central faisant, office de coffre et siège assure la rigidité de l'avant à l'arrière. La partie antérieure de la nacelle est relevée afin de faire office d'étrave, et d'assurer une certaine portance.To this end, the nacelle according to the invention has a vaulted shape with lateral supports and a forward curve allowing it to penetrate the air requiring only little energy. Stability at high speed is ensured by flaps located at the front on each side and adjustable. The arch shape provides lateral rigidity. The central box making, trunk and seat office ensures rigidity from front to back. The front part of the nacelle is raised to act as a bow, and to ensure a certain lift.
La partie postérieure de la nacelle comporte le support moteur et dé¬ borde du tableau arrière afin d'assurer le dégagement pour le pivotement de celui-ci. Ladite nacelle comporte de nombreux points de fixation qui permettent de fixer des flotteurs, des bras de suspension pour roues ou patins à glace, des skis.The rear part of the nacelle includes the engine support and extends from the transom in order to provide clearance for the pivoting thereof.
