Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for closing an orifice in a wall.
  • the technical field and the main application of the invention relate to the production and implementation of devices for the emergency filling, from the inside, of accidental waterways in the hull or the boat deck afloat. , but such a device can also be used to seal an accidental orifice in a tank such as fuel, and in this case from outside the tank.
  • a solution to the problem posed is a device for closing off an orifice in a wall, comprising at least one flexible and deformable balloon, a locking means capable of being slid into the orifice of the wall from one side thereof. and coming to bear against the opposite side of this wall, a bearing means adapted to rest on the at least one balloon and to take it sandwiched against the wall, and a connecting means between the locking means and the support means, and such that the locking means is a bar, the support means is a circular plate through which the connecting means passes and the latter is a flexible rope which is secured by a system blocking on the circular plate and whose traction on the locking bar puts the balloon in compression against one orifice.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a single balloon comprising an inner conduit in which the flexible connecting string passes and in another embodiment the device according to the invention comprises at least two balloons assembled together. against each other and delimiting between them a duct space in which passes the flexible connecting string.
  • a bar is slid into the orifice of the wall from one side thereof, a bar which is a locking means which is positioned against the opposite side of the wall which surrounds the orifice, - It connects, by a flexible connecting string, the locking bar to a circular plate which is a support means which sandwiches against the wall at least one flexible and deformable balloon positioned on the opposite side of the wall relative to the one where the blocking device is put in place,
  • the at least balloon is pressed against the orifice by traction on the flexible rope which is secured by a locking system on the circular plate, and crushing of the at least one balloon by pressing the circular plate.
  • the balloon or balloons are inflatable and are inflated after positioning, on the one hand, or thereof, against the orifice to be sealed, and on the other hand by the circular plate. , able to compress this or these balloons during its or their inflation, and taking it or them sandwiched against the wall.
  • the wall is that of the hull of a boat or vessel, mainly for pleasure or fishing.
  • the result is a new device and a new method of closing a hole in a wall, which are simple to implement and which address the problem and the disadvantages of the current devices and methods.
  • the volume of the balloon (s) and its mode of action make it adaptable to any waterway even in the case of irregular and not only circular breaches, and large sizes such as up to at least 20 dm 2 .
  • the device and the method according to the invention allow a rapid implementation, necessary in case of emergency during an accidental damage such as during a shock of the boat with an object drifting on the surface: such device can thus constitute a reference boating safety equipment; the introduction of a simple outer bar through the gap is indeed easy and fast, its effective and immediate anchoring then allows to apply a deflated balloon by sliding the plate along the rope (the operator using for example the pressure strong of his feet) and the balloon can then be heavily inflated until complete tightness.
  • this device can be used from the outside of a tank, either on land or at sea during the sinking of a ship to prevent, among other things, a fuel leak: the use of the device is then simply inverted, the locking means being placed inside the tank, and the balloon or balls bearing against the outside against its wall.
  • the materials of the device must then, in this use, resist hydrocarbons for the case of fuel tank, but in the case of leakage, for example, water tank on land, it is of course not necessary.
  • this duct which is inside a single balloon or defined by a space delimited between several contiguous balloons, is flexible and deformable, and also crushes, during the compression of the balloon or balls, against the connecting means which passes therethrough, thereby sealing against it and preventing water or other fluid from passing through this conduit.
  • the balloon can also serve as a fender to protect the hull of the ship by interposing between it this and any wall against which the ship berths (wharf, other ship ).
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary device according to the invention with a single inflatable balloon traversed by a conduit, in the assembly position but before implementation.
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view of the device of Figure 1 along a plane passing through the axis of the inner conduit of the balloon.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the example of the device of Figures 1 and 2 in the implementation position for sealing an orifice such as a waterway in a ship hull.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view of the device of Figure 3 along a plane passing through the axis of the inner conduit of the balloon as in Figure 2, and during the pressurization of the balloon which will then come close the orifice of the hull.
  • the device for closing off an orifice 9 in a wall 8 such as that of a boat or ship as represented in FIGS. 3 and 4, comprises:
  • a single flexible and deformable balloon 3 having an inner conduit 12 sealed with respect to the remainder of the volume of the balloon, which conduit 12 is preferably axial, that is to say passing through the center of the volume of the balloon, which may be quasi-spherical shape such as 50 cm in diameter, which balloon may be PVC approximately 0.7 mm thick,
  • a blocking means 1 capable of being slid into the orifice 9 of the wall 8 from one side thereof, said blocking means 1 being a metal bar such as aluminum, and allowing immediate anchoring / blocking and effective against the wall 8 surrounding the orifice 9, -
  • connecting means 2 which is a rope such as textile, between the blocking means 1, either said bar 1, and the support means 4, or the circular plate 4,
  • the circular plate 4 is slid along the rope 2, and then said plate 4 is pressed against the balloon 3 by a simple strong pressure of the feet, which already ensures a rapid closure of the orifice 9.
  • the closure device comprises a locking system 5 of the connecting means 2 relative to the support means or circular plate 4 , thereby securing the connecting means 2 on the support means 4 at this distance from the partition 8.
  • the balloon when the balloon is inflatable, it can then be more strongly inflated until the complete seal, or by manual inflation (possible in 10 seconds maximum), or by gas cartridge (even faster).
  • the distance between the circular plate 4 and the wall 8 can be given and desired for a deformable and non-inflatable flexible balloon, and combined with the inflation pressure of the balloon when it is inflatable, or with the hardness of its foam. it is not inflatable, it must ensure the compression of the balloon 3, against this wall and thus on the orifice 9 which is thus closed, to a value able to oppose the force of the pressure of the water outdoor; the choice of the value of this distance can be evaluated and adjusted by the operator himself.
  • an inflation hose 6 with a non-return valve and a three-way valve 7 to adapt an inflator or a manual pump or a gas cartridge; the valve 7 also comprises a deflation valve.
  • the surface of the balloon 3 intended to be applied to the orifice 9 or gap is preferably covered with a resin-coated fabric or any other product that can harden on contact with water in order to complete the sealing of the device on the contours. breach or orifice 9.
  • Embodiments using two or three or more balloons, contiguous to each other, are not shown in the present embodiment which only describes a device with a single balloon but their technique of realization and their method of setting are the same as those described above and shown in the accompanying figures, and are therefore included in the present invention.
