CA 2409939

A flotation device (10) for maintaining a watercraft (12) in a floating condition is provided. The flotation device comprises an elongated housing (14) mounted to the watercraft. A carrier (20) is slidably received within the housing with the carrier having a first (32) and second (34) cover channel and a bladder retaining slot (38). A first collapsible tubing is receivable within the first cover channel. An elongated cover (22) is releasably secured within the first cover channel and the second cover channel. A space (26) is defined between the carrier and the cover. A flotation bladder (24) is receivable within the space with the flotation bladder having a bladder edge receivable in the bladder retaining slot. An inflation mechanism (54,56) is connected to the first collapsible tubing and the flotation bladder for inflating the first collapsible tubing and for inflating the flotation bladder wherein upon inflation of the first collapsible tubing, the cover is released from the first cover channel of the carrier and the flotation bladder moves the first edge of the cover in a direction generally away from the watercraft allowing the flotation bladder to substantially completely inflate.

L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) de flottaison servant à maintenir un bateau (12) dans des conditions de flottaison. Le dispositif de flottaison comprend un logement allongé (14) monté sur le bateau. Un transporteur (20) est inséré par glissement dans le logement et possède un premier (32) et un second (34) canal couvert et une fente (38) de retenue de coussin. Un premier tube souple (36) peut être inséré dans le premier canal couvert. Un revêtement allongé (22) est fixé de façon amovible sur le premier canal couvert et le second canal couvert. Un espace est défini entre le transporteur et le revêtement. Un coussin (24) de flottaison peut être inséré dans cet espace et possède un bord pouvant être inséré dans la fente de retenue de coussin. Un mécanisme (54, 56) de flottaison est connecté au premier tube souple et au coussin de flottaison, servant à gonfler le premier tube souple et le coussin de flottaison. Le gonflement du premier tube souple permet de libérer le revêtement du premier canal couvert du transporteur et le coussin de flottaison déplace le premier bord du revêtement dans une direction généralement contraire au bateau, permettant ainsi au coussin de flottaison de gonfler sensiblement complètement.
