Patent

CA 2237999

A marine escape system has a passage (13; 30, 31, 32) extending between an evacuation point on a vessel and an inflatable life raft. The passage (13; 30, 31, 32) is arranged vertically and is connected to a succession of hoops (15). The connection between at least one of the hoops (15) and the life raft is by means of flexible elongate members (24) of differing flexibility. These are held in tension so that, as the life rafts move on swell, the passage extends and retracts from the lower end first. This allows the passage (13; 30, 31, 32) to have only one exit which can be within a life raft (12) so that persons can evacuate from the ship without ever being exposed to the elements. The passage may include a helical tube (13) or a tube (30, 31, 32) with angled panels (40).

Ce système de secours en mer présente un passage (13; 30; 31, 32) s'étendant entre un point d'évacuation à bord d'un bateau et un canot de sauvetage gonflable. Ce passage (13; 30, 31, 32) est conçu verticalement et il est relié à une succession de cerceaux (15). Le raccord entre au moins l'un des cerceaux (15) et le canot de sauvetage s'effectue au moyen d'éléments oblongs flexibles (24) et de différente flexibilité. Ces éléments sont maintenus en tension de manière à ce que, lorsque le canot de sauvetage se déplace sous l'effet de la houle, le passage s'allonge et se rétracte d'abord à partir de l'extrémité inférieure, ce qui permet audit passage (13; 30, 31, 32) d'avoir une seule sortie pouvant se situer dans le canot de sauvetage (12), de façon à ce que les personnes puissent évacuer le bateau sans être exposées aux éléments. Ce passage peut comporter un tube hélicoïdal (13) ou un tube (30, 31, 32) présentant des panneaux inclinés (40).
