The invention concerns a device for automatically hauling very long elongated objects (10) Said device enables in particular handling of very long tubular objects having a relatively flexible and fragile structure such as underwater cables, pipes or streamer-type linear sonar antennae. The device mainly comprises traction means consisting of at least two running belts (12) with rough surface which are urged to be pressed on both sides of the object and haul it in a tractive movement and gripping means (114, 116) which permanently maintain the running belts (12) pressed against the object so as to ensure a proper grip. The invention also concerns means for actuating coordinately the traction means and the gripping means, such that the object to de hauled is subjected to a constant traction throughout the hauling operation. The inventive device provides the advantage of being mounted on a fixed chassis (11) and therefore does not require an installation zone. It is particularly designed for buildings where there is restricted available space such as submarines.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de halage automatique d'objets allongés (10) de grande longueur. Ce dispositif permet notamment de manipuler des objets tubulaires de grande longueur et de structure relativement souple et fragile comme notamment des câbles sous-marins, des tuyaux ou encore des antennes sonar linéaires de type "flûte". Le dispositif comporte principalement des moyens de traction constitués d'au moins deux bandes roulantes (12) à surface rugueuses qui viennent se plaquer de part et d'autre de l'objet et l'entraînent dans un mouvement de traction et des moyens de préhension (114, 116) qui maintiennent en permanence les bandes roulantes (12) plaquées sur l'objet de façon à assurer une bonne adhérence. L'invention a également pour objet des moyens pour actionner de manière coordonnée les moyens de tractions et les moyens de préhension, de sorte que l'objet à haler subit une traction continue durant toute l'opération de halage. Le dispositif selon l'invention présente pour avantage d'être monté sur un châssis fixe (11) et donc de ne pas nécessiter de zone de mis en oeuvre. Il est ainsi particulièrement destiné à des bâtiments où l'espace disponible est restreint, comme des sous-marins.
