Descripiion  Description
Titre de l'invention : Dispositif de sécurité pour permettre le sauvetage en mer Title of the invention: Safety device to enable rescue at sea
[0001] La présente invention est du domaine des dispositifs de sécurité, et concerne plus particulièrement, mais non exclusivement, les équipements de sécurité dans le domaine du nautisme, et vise plus particulièrement la navigation plaisancière. La présente invention concerne en particulier un dispositif de sécurité pour permettre le sauvetage en mer. The present invention is in the field of safety devices, and relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to safety equipment in the field of boating, and more particularly relates to pleasure boating. The present invention relates in particular to a safety device to enable rescue at sea.
[0002] Parmi les équipements de sécurité dont la présence est imposée par les normes et/ou réglementation du domaine du nautisme (en particulier la norme EN/ISO 15085 et la directive européenne 94/25/CE), et notamment dans le cadre de la navigation plaisancière, il est connu d’avoir recours à des équipements annexes pour récupérer les personnes tombées à la mer en navigation. A cette fin, les échelles de sécurité qui équipent les navires de plaisance sont généralement constituées d’une échelle souple, du type échelle de corde, qui est liée au bastingage ou au garde-corps qui entoure le pont du bateau.  Among the safety equipment whose presence is imposed by the standards and / or regulations of the nautical field (in particular the standard EN / ISO 15085 and the European directive 94/25 / EC), and in particular within the framework of boating, it is known to use ancillary equipment to recover people who have fallen overboard while sailing. To this end, the safety ladders which equip pleasure vessels generally consist of a flexible ladder, of the rope ladder type, which is linked to the railing or the railing which surrounds the deck of the boat.
[0003] Différents modèles d’échelle sont connus, l’échelle souple pouvant être fixée à un mousqueton, comme cela est décrit dans la demande W087G3328, et il est possible de mettre en place l’échelle dans une sacoche. La sacoche permet le stockage et la mise à disposition de l’échelle à tout moment sur la partie du navire où elle peut être utilisée aux fins précitées. La sacoche doit être fixée au garde-corps et le déploiement de l’échelle souple depuis la sacoche est effectué pour libérer l’échelle et permettre à une personne à la mer de remonter sur le pont du navire. Bien que fiable et très pratique à mettre en œuvre, ce type de dispositif n’est pas compatible avec tous les navires, car ceux-ci n’ont pas tous des garde- corps appropriés en termes de configuration et de solidité.  Different ladder models are known, the flexible ladder being able to be fixed to a carabiner, as described in application W087G3328, and it is possible to set up the ladder in a bag. The bag allows the storage and the provision of the ladder at any time on the part of the ship where it can be used for the aforementioned purposes. The bag must be attached to the railing and the deployment of the flexible ladder from the bag is carried out to release the ladder and allow a person overboard to go up on the deck of the ship. Although reliable and very practical to implement, this type of device is not compatible with all ships, because not all of them have suitable guardrails in terms of configuration and strength.
[0004] Parmi les systèmes mis en œuvre avec des échelles du type échelle de corde, il est connu d’avoir recours à des boîtiers insérés dans une partie de bâtiment et qui peuvent être sollicités en vue de libérer l’échelle. De telles systèmes sont compliqués de par leur conformation, et ils imposent le recours à des éléments de poussé pour l’expulsion de l’échelle, comme par exemple le dispositif décrit dans la demande GB 2 444 499 De plus, les échelles intégrées dans ces boîtiers du domaine du bâtiment ne sont pas configurées avec les lattes et les cordages appropriés pour répondre aux pratiques et aux réglementations en vigueur dans l’univers du nautisme. Among the systems implemented with ladders of the rope ladder type, it is known to use housings inserted in a part of a building and which can be used in order to release the ladder. Such systems are complicated by their conformation, and they impose the use of thrust elements for the expulsion of the ladder, as for example the device described in application GB 2 444 499 In addition, the scales integrated in these housings in the building sector are not configured with the appropriate slats and ropes to meet the practices and regulations in force in the world of boating .
[0005] La présente invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients de l’art antérieur. The present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art.
[0006] A cet effet, selon un premier aspect, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour permettre le sauvetage en mer comportant :To this end, according to a first aspect, the present invention relates to a safety device for enabling sea rescue comprising:
- un boitier comprenant une première façade et une deuxième façade, le boîtier comprenant deux parois qualifiées de parois latérales sensiblement positionnées en vis-à-vis, et une paroi dénommée fond et fermant le boîtier sur un côté, les parois latérales et le fond s’étendent entre les deux susdites façades ; - A housing comprising a first facade and a second facade, the housing comprising two walls qualified as side walls substantially positioned opposite, and a wall called bottom and closing the housing on one side, the side walls and the bottom s 'extend between the two above facades;
- une échelle souple fixée à l’une de ses deux extrémités, dite première extrémité, sur le fond du boitier comprenant au moins trois échelons ;  - a flexible ladder fixed to one of its two ends, called the first end, on the bottom of the case comprising at least three steps;
- une bouche d’évacuation de l’échelle souple ménagée dans le boîtier et préférentiellement positionnée sensiblement en regard du fond ;  - an outlet for the flexible ladder provided in the housing and preferably positioned substantially facing the bottom;
le dispositif de sécurité étant prévu pour passer d’une configuration repliée dans laquelle l’échelle souple est repliée dans le boîtier, à une configuration déployée dans laquelle l’échelle souple s’étend par la bouche d’évacuation en restant fixée sur le fond du boîtier,  the safety device being designed to pass from a folded configuration in which the flexible ladder is folded back into the housing, to a deployed configuration in which the flexible ladder extends by the discharge mouth while remaining fixed on the bottom of the housing,
caractérisé en ce que la bouche d’évacuation comporte une rampe comprenant une cloison cintrée qui s’étend à partir de la première façade. Un tel dispositif est dévolu au sauvetage en mer et à la remontée à bord d’une embarcation nautique L’échelle est une échelle souple, par exemple réalisé dans un agencement de matériaux qui lui confèrent une souplesse au niveau des liens qui séparent les échelons et une rigidité au niveau des échelons. Chaque échelon comprend une latte en matériau(x) piastique(s), de préférence un composite, insérée dans une gaine souple, la gaine souple étant cousue avec des liens qui maintiennent latéralement les échelons solidaires entre eux. La latte en plastique est avantageusement une latte souple qui peut être déformée, pliée par simple manipulation par un utilisateur. La cloison cintrée permet de guider la sortie de i’échelie souple fixée dans le boîtier et de l’évacuer en la tractant par le bas dans la configuration d’utilisation du dispositif selon l’invention lorsqu’il est intégré à la coque d’un navire. characterized in that the discharge mouth comprises a ramp comprising a curved partition which extends from the first facade. Such a device is used for rescue at sea and climbing back on board a nautical boat. The ladder is a flexible ladder, for example made from an arrangement of materials which give it flexibility at the level of the links which separate the rungs and rigidity at the level. Each rung comprises a slat made of piastic material (s), preferably a composite, inserted in a flexible sheath, the flexible sheath being sewn with ties which laterally hold the rungs integral with each other. The plastic batten is advantageously a flexible batten which can be deformed, folded by simple manipulation by a user. The curved partition makes it possible to guide the exit of the flexible ladder fixed in the housing and to evacuate it by pulling it from below in the configuration of use of the device according to the invention when it is integrated into the hull of a ship.
[0007] Les inventeurs ont mis en évidence qu’une telle disposition permettait non seulement d’avoir un dispositif encastrable dans une coque de navire, mais aussi de pouvoir offrir les avantages suivants :  The inventors have demonstrated that such an arrangement not only makes it possible to have a device which can be built into a ship's hull, but also to be able to offer the following advantages:
- ne plus devoir positionner le système de sécurité sur un balcon (garde- corps), ce qui évite d’avoir du matériel sur le pont du navire et permet d’améliorer la fiabilité de la fixation de l’échelle ;  - no longer having to position the security system on a balcony (railing), which avoids having equipment on the deck of the ship and improves the reliability of the ladder attachment;
- le dispositif est toujours présent sans risque de détérioration ou d’enlèvement et est donc toujours disponible en cas de besoins ;  - the device is always present without risk of deterioration or removal and is therefore always available when needed;
- l’intégration dans un boîtier diminue les risques de rouille et de coulure - integration in a housing reduces the risk of rust and sagging
- un tel dispositif est aisément encastrable sur beaucoup de supports nautiques tels que les voiliers, les bateaux à moteur, mono- ou multicoques (catamarans...), et ne requiert aucun entretien particulier ; - such a device is easily built into many nautical supports such as sailboats, motor boats, monohulls or multihulls (catamarans ...), and requires no particular maintenance;
- la mise en place du boîtier dans une coque par le constructeur du bateau ou sur un chantier est très simple.  - the installation of the box in a hull by the boat builder or on a site is very simple.
[0008] L’invention est avantageusement mise en œuvre selon les modes de réalisation et les variantes exposés ci-après, lesquelles sont à considérer individuellement ou selon toute combinaison techniquement opérante.  The invention is advantageously implemented according to the embodiments and the variants set out below, which are to be considered individually or in any technically operative combination.
[0009] Avantageusement, le boîtier comporte deux évidements latéraux, respectivement un premier évidement latéral et un deuxième évidement latéral, qui débouchent latéralement sur le fond du boîtier en regard l’un de l’autre, les évidements latéraux coopérant avec les extrémités d’un échelon de l’échelle souple. Avantageusement la première extrémité de l’échelle souple comporte un échelon, qualifiée d’échelon de fixation, de préférence de plus grande longueur que les autres échelons, comprenant un premier bout encastré dans le premier évidement latéral et un deuxième bout encastré dans le deuxième évidement latéral. Ainsi, l’échelle est fixée solidement et avec fiabilité sur le fond du boîtier. Un tel montage permet une maintenance facilitée et de pouvoir positionner ou retirer l’échelle avec précision sans l’endommager. Advantageously, the housing has two lateral recesses, respectively a first lateral recess and a second lateral recess, which open laterally on the bottom of the housing opposite one another, the lateral recesses cooperating with the ends of a step of the flexible scale. Advantageously, the first end of the flexible ladder comprises a rung, qualified as a fixing rung, preferably of greater length than the other rungs, comprising a first end embedded in the first lateral recess and a second end embedded in the second recess lateral. Thus, the ladder is securely and reliably attached to the bottom of the housing. Such an assembly allows easier maintenance and to be able to position or remove the ladder precisely without damaging it.
[0010] La bouche d’évacuation de l’échelle comporte avantageusement deux encoches latérales, une première encoche latérale et une deuxième encoche latérale, positionnées en regard l’une de l’autre et localisées sensiblement sur la jonction entre la cloison cintrée et la première façade. Une telle configuration de la bouche d’évacuation permet d’offrir des moyens de fixation pour pouvoir ciipser des extrémités de lattes d’échelons de l’échelle souple à l’intérieur de la bouche d’évacuation. L’échelle souple comporte avantageusement à l’autre de ses deux extrémités, dite deuxième extrémité, un échelon, qualifiée d’échelon de verrouillage, intégrant à chaque bout une première languette de conformation adaptée pour coopérer par clipsage dans la première encoche latérale et une deuxième languette de conformation adaptée pour coopérer par clipsage dans la deuxième encoche latérale. L’échelon de verrouillage comporte avantageusement une latte souple qui se cintre sous l’effet d’une traction exercée sur l’échelle pour libérer les languettes de l’échelon de verrouillage des encoches, ou pour permettre un repositionnement des languettes de l’échelon de verrouillage dans ces encoches. L’actionnement de l’échelle souple est très simple à mettre en œuvre depuis l’extérieur, à la fois pour l’éjection de l’échelle dans le boîtier ou pour son rangement. Ce mécanisme faisant appel au clipsage est très simple à réaliser et ne risque pas d’occasionner de grippage. En outre, une telle échelle souple clipsable dans son boîtier permet aussi bien une utilisation pour la sécurité, c’est-à-dire le sauvetage en mer, que pour l’agrément, car il peut être utilisé facilement lors des baignades des occupant du navire. The ladder discharge mouth advantageously comprises two lateral notches, a first lateral notch and a second lateral notch, positioned opposite one another and located substantially on the junction between the curved partition and the first facade. Such a configuration of the discharge mouth makes it possible to offer fixing means in order to be able to clip ends of slat steps from the flexible ladder inside the discharge mouth. The flexible ladder advantageously comprises at the other of its two ends, called the second end, a rung, qualified as a locking rung, integrating at each end a first conformation tongue adapted to cooperate by clipping in the first lateral notch and a second shaping tongue adapted to cooperate by clipping into the second lateral notch. The locking rung advantageously comprises a flexible slat which bends under the effect of a pull exerted on the ladder to release the tabs from the ratchet locking ratchet, or to allow repositioning of the rung tabs locking in these notches. The actuation of the flexible ladder is very simple to implement from the outside, both for the ejection of the ladder into the housing or for its storage. This mechanism using clipping is very simple to perform and does not risk causing seizure. In addition, such a flexible ladder that can be clipped into its housing allows both use for safety, that is to say rescue at sea, as well as for pleasure, since it can be used easily when bathing occupants of the ship.
[0011] Avantageusement, l’échelle souple comporte une cordelette de traction fixée sur un échelon de fraction, l’échelon de traction est de préférence l’échelon qui suit directement l’échelon de fixation, c'est-à-dire qui est placé de manière contiguë à l’échelon de fixation. La cordelette de traction est avantageusement insérée dans un perçage ménagé dans le boîtier, mais peut également passer par la bouche d’évacuation, et permet de déployer l’échelle souple en exerçant une traction sur la cordelette. Ainsi, une personne en mer peut actionner l’échelle en tirant sur la latte non fixée au boîtier la plus proche du fond du boîtier, et provoquer la descente et le déroulement instantané du l’échelle souple. [0012] Avantageusement, !a deuxième façade comporte un capot comprenant au moins un moyen de ventilation. Ainsi, le dispositif peut être monté sur la coque d’un bateau au niveau d’une zone intégrant les machines et les moteurs du bateau, qui nécessite une ventilation. Le moyen de ventilation comporte avantageusement deux bouches d’aération, pour une ventilation optimale du local technique qui intègre les moteurs et qui est positionné de préférence sur le tableau arrière des navires de plaisance. Lesdites bouches d’aération sont avantageusement connectées à des gaines de ventilation du navire. Grâce à cette configuration, le dispositif selon l’invention a une fonction supplémentaire de ventilation, la bouche d’évacuation étant alors une prise d’air - par exemple pour la ventilation d’un local technique - ce qui permet par ailleurs de minimiser les ouvertures dans la coque du bateau. Advantageously, the flexible ladder comprises a traction cord fixed on a fraction rung, the traction rung is preferably the rung which directly follows the fixing rung, that is to say which is placed adjacent to the fixing rung. The pull cord is advantageously inserted into a bore in the housing, but can also pass through the discharge mouth, and makes it possible to deploy the flexible ladder by exerting a pull on the cord. Thus, a person at sea can activate the ladder by pulling the slat not attached to the case closest to the bottom of the case, and cause the descent and instantaneous unwinding of the flexible ladder. Advantageously, the second facade includes a cover comprising at least one ventilation means. Thus, the device can be mounted on the hull of a boat at an area integrating the machines and the engines of the boat, which requires ventilation. The ventilation means advantageously includes two air vents, for optimal ventilation of the technical room which incorporates the motors and which is preferably positioned on the transom of pleasure craft. Said air vents are advantageously connected to the ship's ventilation ducts. Thanks to this configuration, the device according to the invention has an additional ventilation function, the exhaust outlet then being an air intake - for example for the ventilation of a technical room - which also makes it possible to minimize the openings in the hull of the boat.
[0013] La présente invention concerne également une coque de navire comprenant une fente et le dispositif de sécurité tel que décrit précédemment dans le cadre de l’invention qui est fixé sur la partie interne de la coque et la bouche d’évacuation de l’échelle souple débouche dans la lumière de la fente. L’usinage ou le moulage de la fente peut être réalisé simultanément à la fabrication de la coque. Le dispositif est avantageusement fixé par collage sur la partie interne de la coque, ce qui permet de n’avoir qu’une seule fente visible depuis l’extérieur, et aucune pièce apparente ce qui diminue le risque de détérioration. La coque du navire étant considérée dans sa position d’utilisation, le dispositif de sécurité est fixé sur la coque tel que le l’échelon de fixation est positionné sensiblement vers le haut, l’échelon de verrouillage est fixé par ses deux languettes vers le bas dans les encoches latérales. Pour libérer l’échelle, un homme à la mer tire sur la cordelette et libère l’échelle souple qui descend au travers de la bouche d’évacuation et de la fente de la coque.  The present invention also relates to a ship hull comprising a slot and the safety device as described above in the context of the invention which is fixed on the internal part of the hull and the discharge outlet of the flexible ladder opens into the slot light. The machining or molding of the slot can be carried out simultaneously with the manufacture of the shell. The device is advantageously fixed by gluing to the internal part of the shell, which makes it possible to have only one slot visible from the outside, and no visible part, which reduces the risk of deterioration. The hull of the ship being considered in its position of use, the safety device is fixed on the hull such that the fixing rung is positioned substantially upwards, the locking rung is fixed by its two tabs towards the low in the side notches. To release the ladder, a man overboard pulls on the cord and releases the flexible ladder that descends through the vent and the slot in the hull.
[0014] La fente et le dispositif de sécurité sont avantageusement localisés sur le tableau arrière de ladite coque. Le terme « tableau arrière » au sens de la présente invention, parfois désigné sous le terme de « balcon arrière », définit la zone à l’arrière du navire qui comporte notamment les moteurs ou les systèmes de ventilation du navire. Un tel positionnement est avantageux car il permet de connecter sur le dispositif de sécurité comprenant i’écheiie souple une ou plusieurs gaines de ventilation qui utilisent l’ouverture faite dans la coque (fente) pour aspirer de l’air. En outre, le tableau arrière est d’avantage accessible pour un homme à la mer et la préhension de la cordelette à ce niveau est donc plus aisée. The slot and the security device are advantageously located on the rear panel of said shell. The term "transom" within the meaning of the present invention, sometimes referred to as "aft balcony", defines the area aft of the ship which includes in particular the engines or ventilation systems of the ship. Such positioning is advantageous because it makes it possible to connect to the security device comprising the flexible grid one or more ventilation ducts which use the opening made in the shell (slot) to suck in air. In addition, the transom is more accessible for a man overboard and gripping the cord at this level is therefore easier.
[0015] La présente invention concerne aussi un procédé d’utilisation du dispositif de sécurité selon l’invention intégré à la coque d’un navire, comprenant les étapes suivantes :  The present invention also relates to a method of using the safety device according to the invention integrated into the hull of a ship, comprising the following steps:
- déplier l’échelle par traction ;  - unfold the ladder by traction;
- utiliser l’échelle pour remonter à bord du navire ; et  - use the ladder to go back on board the ship; and
- ranger l’échelle dans le boîtier en la repliant et en exerçant une poussée de bas en haut pour l’insertion des échelons dans la bouche d’évacuation. Le procédé selon l’invention comporte avantageusement une étape supplémentaire consistant à exercer une pression sur l’échelon de verrouillage pour clipser la première languette et la deuxième languette dans la première encoche latérale et la deuxième encoche latérale.  - store the ladder in the box by folding it up and exerting a push from the bottom up for the insertion of the rungs in the evacuation mouth The method according to the invention advantageously comprises an additional step consisting in exerting pressure on the locking rung to clip the first tab and the second tab into the first lateral notch and the second lateral notch.
Le déclenchement de l’échelle se fait en tirant d’un coup sur la cordelette. L’action sur la cordelette permet de comprimer l’échelle et par conséquent d’exercer une pression sur l’échelon de verrouillage. Sous l’effet de cette pression, la latte de l’échelon de verrouillage qui est avantageusement souple se cintre et/ou les languettes se plient dans les encoches latérales et se déciipsent desdites encoches pour libérer l’échelon de verrouillage. Par suite, par gravité, l’ensemble de l’échelle se déploie le long de la coque et plonge dans l’eau par son propre poids. Il est donc possible à un homme à la mer de remonter à bord.  The ladder is triggered by pulling the cord suddenly. The action on the cord makes it possible to compress the ladder and therefore to exert pressure on the locking rung. Under the effect of this pressure, the lath of the locking rung which is advantageously flexible bends and / or the tongues bend in the lateral notches and unclip from said notches to release the locking rung. As a result, by gravity, the entire ladder deploys along the hull and dives into the water by its own weight. It is therefore possible for a man overboard to go back on board.
Pour ranger l’échelle souple dans son boitier après utilisation, l’utilisateur plie un à un les échelons et les pousse dans la fente.  To store the flexible ladder in its case after use, the user folds the rungs one by one and pushes them into the slot.
Lorsque l’échelle est entièrement repliée dans le boîtier, une simple pression sur l’échelon de verrouillage permet de clipser les languettes dans les encoches latérales.  When the ladder is fully folded back into the housing, a simple press on the locking rung clips the tabs into the side notches.

[0026] La figure 1 montre le dispositif de sécurité 1 selon l’invention selon une vue éclatée pour mieux visualiser ses différents éléments, parmi lesquels un boîtier 2 fermé sur une face par une première façade 3a sur laquelle s’étendent deux parois latérales 4a et 4b et un fond 5. Un premier évidement latéral 6a et un deuxième évidement latéral 6b, s’ouvrent latéralement sur le fond 5 du côté de chaque parois latérale 4a et 4b. Selon ce mode de réalisation avantageux, le boîtier 2 comporte une deuxième façade 3b en regard de la première façade 3a intégrant un rebord 8 qui s’étire à la fois sur le fond, les parois latérales, et les évidements latéraux en venant fermer une partie d’une bouche d’évacuation 9. La bouche d’évacuation 9 comporte une cloison cintrée 10 qui s’étend à partir de la première façade sur le rebord 8. D’autre part, la bouche d’évacuation 9 comporte deux encoches latérales, une première encoche latérale 11a et une deuxième encoche latérale 11b, positionnées en regard l’une de l’autre et localisées sensiblement sur la jonction entre la cloison cintrée 10 et la première façade 3. Figure 1 shows the safety device 1 according to the invention in an exploded view to better view its different elements, including a housing 2 closed on one side by a first facade 3a on which extend two side walls 4a and 4b and a bottom 5. A first lateral recess 6a and a second lateral recess 6b, open laterally on the bottom 5 on the side of each side wall 4a and 4b. According to this advantageous embodiment, the housing 2 has a second facade 3b facing the first facade 3a integrating a flange 8 which stretches both on the bottom, the side walls, and the side recesses by closing part of a discharge mouth 9. The discharge mouth 9 comprises a curved partition 10 which extends from the first facade on the flange 8. On the other hand, the discharge mouth 9 comprises two lateral notches, a first lateral notch 11a and a second lateral notch 11b, positioned facing one another and located substantially on the junction between the curved partition 10 and the first facade 3.
[0027] Le dispositif de sécurité 1 intègre une échelle souple 12, comportant des échelons 13. Une barre de fixation intégrée à l’échelle et désignée échelon de fixation 14 permet de fixer l’échelle souple 12 au boîtier par les deux évidements latéraux 6a et 6b. Un échelon de verrouillage 15 situé sur l’extrémité opposée de l’extrémité de l’échelle qui comporte l’échelon de fixation 14, permet de maintenir l’échelle dans le boîtier par les encoches latérales 11a et 11b dans lesquelles sont insérées une première languette 16a de conformation adaptée pour coopérer par clipsage dans la première encoche latérale, et, une deuxième languette 16b de conformation adaptée pour coopérer par clipsage dans la deuxième encoche latérale.  The safety device 1 incorporates a flexible ladder 12, comprising rungs 13. A fixing bar integrated into the ladder and designated fixing rung 14 makes it possible to fix the flexible ladder 12 to the housing by the two lateral recesses 6a and 6b. A locking rung 15 located on the opposite end of the end of the ladder which includes the fixing rung 14, makes it possible to maintain the ladder in the housing by the lateral notches 11a and 11b in which are inserted a first tongue 16a of conformation adapted to cooperate by clipping in the first lateral notch, and, a second tongue 16b of conformation adapted to cooperate by clipping in the second lateral notch.
[0028] L’échelon de verrouillage 15 comporte une latte souple 18 soit pour libérer l’échelon de verrouillage 15 par traction en pliant la latte 18 et en dégageant les languettes 16a, 16b des encoches latérales 11a, 11 b - ce qui a pour effet de déplier l’échelle souple 12, soit pour ranger l’échelle souple 12 après son utilisation en pliant la latte 18 et en engageant les languettes 18a, 16b dans les encoches latérales 11a, 11 b.  The locking rung 15 comprises a flexible slat 18 either to release the locking rung 15 by traction by folding the slat 18 and releasing the tabs 16a, 16b from the side notches 11a, 11b - which has for effect of unfolding the flexible ladder 12, that is to store the flexible ladder 12 after its use by folding the slat 18 and engaging the tabs 18a, 16b in the lateral notches 11a, 11b.
[0029] L’échelle souple 12 comporte également une cordelette de traction 19 fixée sur un échelon de traction 20, qui est le premier échelon qui suit l’échelon de fixation 14. La cordelette de traction 19 est passée au travers d’un orifice de sortie 21 positionné sur un doigt 22 prévu sur la partie basse du rebord 8 qui communique avec la bouche d’évacuation 9.  The flexible ladder 12 also includes a traction cord 19 fixed on a traction rung 20, which is the first rung which follows the fixing rung 14. The traction cord 19 is passed through an orifice outlet 21 positioned on a finger 22 provided on the lower part of the rim 8 which communicates with the discharge mouth 9.
[0030] Le boîtier 2 est fermé sur une face par la deuxième façade 3b qui comporte un capot 24 intégrant des perçages 25 pour le montage par vissage sur le rebord 8 de la deuxième façade 3b. Le capot 24 comprend un moyen de ventilation qui, dans le cadre du mode de réalisation montré sur les figures, consiste en deux bouches d’aération 26a et 26b. Ces bouches d’aération 26a et 26b permettent de ventiler une zone technique ou des équipements en y raccordant deux gaines, l’air est prélevé depuis la bouche d’évacuation 9 (et la fente décrite ci-après) qui remplit alors une fonction supplémentaire d’aération. Un joint 27 est placé entre le rebord 8 et le capot 24 pour améliorer l’étanchéité. The housing 2 is closed on one side by the second facade 3b which has a cover 24 incorporating holes 25 for mounting by screwing on the flange 8 of the second facade 3b. The cover 24 comprises a ventilation means which, in the context of the embodiment shown in the figures, consists of two air vents 26a and 26b. These air vents 26a and 26b make it possible to ventilate a technical area or equipment by connecting two ducts to it, the air is taken from the discharge mouth 9 (and the slot described below) which then fulfills an additional function of ventilation. A seal 27 is placed between the flange 8 and the cover 24 to improve the seal.
[0031] Le dispositif de sécurité 1 selon l’invention est fixé sur le tableau arrière 28 de la coque d’un navire (voir figure 6 et 7). Le dispositif 1 est fixé sur la partie interne de la coque et la bouche d’évacuation 9 de l’échelle souple débouche dans la lumière d’une fente 29 ménagée dans la coque, montrée sur les figures 8 et 9. Selon un mode de réalisation, la cordelette de traction The safety device 1 according to the invention is fixed to the transom 28 of the hull of a ship (see Figure 6 and 7). The device 1 is fixed on the internal part of the hull and the evacuation opening 9 of the flexible ladder opens into the lumen of a slot 29 formed in the hull, shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. According to a mode of realization, the pull cord
19 descend par la fente 29, et il n’est ni utile de prévoir l’orifice de sortie 21 , ni le doigt 22 (figure 9). 19 descends through the slot 29, and it is neither useful to provide the outlet orifice 21, nor the finger 22 (FIG. 9).
[0032] Le déclenchement de l’échelle se fait en tirant d’un coup « sec » sur la cordelette qui doit se situer à moins de 50 cm de la ligne de flottaison.  The ladder is triggered by pulling "sharply" on the cord which must be less than 50 cm from the waterline.
[0033] L’action sur la cordelette de traction 19 qui est fixée sur l’échelon de traction The action on the traction cord 19 which is fixed on the traction rung
20 permet de comprimer l’échelle et par conséquent d’exercer une pression sur l’échelon de verrouillage. Sous l’effet de cette pression, la latte souple 18 de l’échelon de verrouillage 15 se cintre et/ou les languettes 16a, 16b se plient dans les encoches latérales 11a, 11 b et se déclipsent desdites encoches pour libérer l’échelon de verrouillage. 20 makes it possible to compress the ladder and therefore to exert pressure on the locking rung. Under the effect of this pressure, the flexible slat 18 of the locking rung 15 bends and / or the tabs 16a, 16b bend in the lateral notches 11a, 11b and unclip from said notches to release the rung of locking.
[0034] Par suite, par gravité, l’ensemble de l’échelle souple 12 se déploie le long de la coque et plonge dans l’eau par son propre poids. Il est donc possibie à un homme à la mer de remonter à bord.  As a result, by gravity, the entire flexible ladder 12 deploys along the hull and plunges into the water by its own weight. It is therefore possible for a man overboard to go back on board.
[0035] Pour ranger l’échelle souple dans son boîtier après utilisation, l’utilisateur plie un à un les échelons et les pousse dans la fente 29.  To store the flexible ladder in its housing after use, the user folds the rungs one by one and pushes them into the slot 29.
[0036] Lorsque l’échelle est entièrement repliée dans le boîtier, une simple pression sur l’échelon de verrouillage permet de ciipser les languettes 11a, 11 b dans les encoches latérales, de sorte que l’échelle de sécurité est de nouveau en place et prête pour une utilisation ultérieure.  When the ladder is fully folded back in the housing, a simple pressure on the locking rung allows the tongues 11a, 11b to be pinched in the lateral notches, so that the safety ladder is again in place and ready for later use.
