Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements brought to the devices constituted by or comprising at least one inflatable enclosure delimited by at least one flexible wall and at least one accessory secured to said flexible wall of the enclosure.
  • the provisions of the invention can find application in all types of devices comprising at minus an inflatable enclosure of any type. It seems, however, that they must find a preferred application in inflatable boats which whatever the specific arrangement (with flexible hull, with rigid hull) and in inflatable pools whatever the constitution of the inflatable side, being heard that other types of devices (e.g. inflatable liferafts, flexible tanks for liquids, ...) also fall within the scope of application of the provisions of the invention.
  • Pool users can also wish to have a place to group together small accessories usable in water (such as floating toys, a balloon, ...) and easily accessible from inside the pool.
  • the object of the present invention is to respond to aspirations of the various users of the devices in question in an original way, either in substitution for existing solutions, either in addition to these, without resulting in additional bulk in the device nor a substantial modification of general infrastructure of the system.
  • the means according to the invention are of great universality of employment and allow to ensure the mounting many types of accessories as will explained further. These means are structurally simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture and install.
  • the presence of the protruding reinforcement (rod) around the periphery of the opening, which is engaged and retained in the groove provided in at least one of the frames ensures a holding mechanics of the flexible wall all around the opening and in all directions, so that the shape and resistance of the inflatable enclosure find nothing affected by the presence of the opening: the functional combination of the reinforcement protruding peripheral and rigid frame equipped with a reinforcement receiving groove provides recovery particularly effective stressing efforts to which is subjected the flexible wall stretched by the inflation.
  • the sealing means sealing the inflation fluid (a gas, usually air), a simple and effective solution is that the sealing means comprise a flexible pocket made of a waterproof material, which is secured tightly to the internal face of the wall of the inflatable enclosure around the opening, said pocket extending inside the inflatable enclosure in sealingly surrounding the above accessory.
  • the tightening means are screws or bolts distributed around the perimeter of the opening, although could also consider (especially for the mounting of small accessories) that the wall bordering the opening, the inner frame and the outer frame are secured by gluing and / or welding.
  • the invention relates in particular to mounting accessories such as handles, cleats or other similar devices.
  • substantially rigid base for mounting the accessory, which extends at least partly inside of the enclosure and has a perimeter rim constituting the aforesaid interior frame.
  • the base is substantially in the form of plate, in which case the base will extend approximately in the plane of the flexible wall and its accessory integral will project from said wall.
  • the base either in the form of an open box which then extends at least partly below the level of the flexible wall and at inside the inflatable enclosure (recessed base): it thus becomes possible that the accessory is housed in the box-shaped base so that this accessory becomes at least partially embedded (for example built-in cleat), or retractable (for example extractable handle, recalled by springs inside of the base).
  • the accessory has a functional part which is integral with the base or the accessory has a part which is attached to the base and fixed to it.
  • the outer frame is equipped or coated externally of a hubcap.
  • the means according to the invention allow the installation, on the wall of the inflatable enclosure, of a accessory of an uncommon type, namely a chest substantially rigid which extends at least in part to the interior of said inflatable enclosure and which comprises a substantially rigid rim projecting transversely to the wall of the trunk, located outside the wall of the enclosure.
  • volume of the enclosure for example of the "empty" volume (ie filled with air) from the pneumatic enclosure (s) (buoyancy tubes of an inflatable boat, peripheral tube of an inflatable swimming pool or raft survival, filling volume of a flexible tank) equipping the device.
  • This volume admittedly relatively important, performs an essential function in the operation of the device (in particular buoyancy for a boat, retention of a volume of water for a swimming pool, storage of a liquid for a tank);
  • the volume of the inflatable enclosure (s) is largely dimensioned, in particular with regard to what would be strictly necessary.
  • the invention therefore provides to divert a proportionally weak part, of this volume to assign it an additional function storage.
  • the edge of the trunk is independent of the above outer frame and covers it; in this case the trunk rim is fixed by the above means of tightening, or even the trunk is secured to a single of the two frames by second fixing means separate from the above clamping means.
  • the wall side of the trunk has a shoulder and that the second fastening means include screws or bolts crossing said side wall of the trunk and engaged with one of the interior or exterior frames, the heads of these screws or bolts supported on a support piece resting against the above shoulder; especially then, the support piece is unique and shaped like a frame inner peripheral contour of the trunk to reinforce this one.
  • the edge of the trunk, the interior frame and possibly the second outer frame are substantially planar.
  • the trunk can be equipped with all the means necessary for its function and its environment ; cover (removable, sliding or pivoting), closing lock, gasket, etc.
  • the trunk can receive any desired conformation, in particular parallelepiped, in particular parallelepiped elongated rectangle, which fits more easily into a elongated enclosure such as a rod boat buoyancy or poolside.
  • An accessory arrangement as defined above according to the invention can be integrated, as as needed, in many types of devices provided with at least one inflatable enclosure with at least one flexible wall, whatever the type (pneumatic, hydraulic) of inflation of said enclosure.
  • the invention is particularly attached (but not exclusively) to pneumatic devices comprising at at least one sidewall comprising at least one inflatable tube pneumatically which are then made up as exposed above, the aforesaid inflatable enclosure being constituted here by said pneumatically inflatable tube which receives said accessory.
  • an application more particularly referred to in the context of the present invention relates the field of inflatable boats: according to the invention, an inflatable boat comprising two lateral floats joining forward to form a bow and braced by a rigid floor and by a transom, each lateral float being formed of minus a pneumatically inflatable tube, is characterized in that this inflatable tube is equipped with at least one accessory as described above.
  • Another application preferred also particularly targeted in the context of the invention relates to the field of inflatable swimming pools: according to the invention, a delimited pneumatic swimming pool perimeter by at least one inflatable tube pneumatically is characterized in that this tube is equipped with at least one accessory as described above.
  • the sealing means 10 vis-à-vis the inflation fluid can be arranged so as to completely isolate the zone of the wall 2 on which the accessory 3 is mounted from the rest of the 'enclosure 1.
  • the sealing means may comprise a sheet of flexible material (in particular of the same nature and same characteristics as that constituting the wall 2) forming a flexible pocket 10 which is tightly secured to its periphery at 10 a (in particular by gluing or welding) to the internal face of the flexible wall 2 around the opening 4, said pocket 10 then extending inside the enclosure 1, sealingly surrounding the accessory 3 and its mounting parts on the wall 2.
  • the two frames 6 and 7 are provided of respective grooves 8 opposite opposite defining together a retaining channel suitable for housing said reinforcement 5 which is thus retained symmetrically.
  • the presence of the reinforcement or ring 5 allows to resume, on all the circumference of the opening 4, the tension forces of the wall 2 of so that the speaker does not show any weakening or no deformation and retains its general shape despite the presence of the accessory.
  • the tightening means are screws or bolts (the reference 9 designating the diagrams of the axes thereof) which are distributed around the periphery of the opening 4.
  • the clamping means are constituted simply by bonding and / or welding against one another the edge 2 a of the opening 4, the outer frame 6 and the inner frame 7 (the reference 2 a designating the peripheral part of the wall 2 which is sandwiched between the two frames 6, 7 and which is bordered by the rod 5).
  • FIG 2 is illustrated an example inflatable boat 11 likely to be affected by the invention.
  • Boat 11 is a boat pneumatic which includes two pneumatic floats 1 bilaterally bordering a bottom 13 and a hull (not visible) underlying. The stern part of the boat is closed by a transom 14 secured to the bottom 13 and floats 1 and bracing them. Both floats 1 join forward to form a bow.

  • Boats, including boats inflatable, are equipped with traditional accessories such as carrying handles, cleats for ropes mooring, or others, which are fixed (glued, welded, bolted) in projecting position on the float.
  • the arrangements according to the invention allow not only consider mounting these accessories on the wall of float 1 in their usual situation - that is to say protruding from the float - but they also make it possible to envisage an original assembly of these accessories, namely part or all mounting built-in and / or retractable.
  • a base is provided for substantially rigid mounting 15 for mounting accessory 3 (for example a handle or a cleat), which base 15 extends at least in part to inside enclosure 1 (i.e. below the level of the wall 2) and is provided with a rim perimeter constituting the abovementioned internal framework 7.
  • the mounting base 15 and the ledge forming the inner frame 7 are located in the extension of one another and the whole presents itself generally in the form of a plate 17 provided with the groove 8 perimeter.
  • the plate 17 formed by the base 15 and the inner frame 7 was made of the same material as accessory 3 (illustrated here in the form of a cleat): in this case the whole of the plate 17 and of the part functional 16 of accessory 3 can be realized under integral form as illustrated in FIG. 3A.
  • accessory 3 (by example the cleat) is attached to plate 17 and fixed (for example by screwing in 18) on it as illustrated in Figure 3B.
  • the mounting base 15 can be arranged substantially in the form of an open box surrounded by a rim perimeter constituting the aforesaid inner frame 7 (the entire box being designated by the reference 19).
