CA 2349954

A system to keep any type of vessel afloat in case of entry of water, by means of providing inflatable flotation elements through the outside of the hull of the vessel, including a variety of mechanisms that are activated automatically when a water level detecting device inside the vessel detects that water has reached a maximum permitted level, which causes the opening of an electrically operated valve to allow pressurised fluid to pass in order to unfold said flotation elements. Alternatively, another unfolding mechanism may consist of a pair of cylinders screwed themselves, through the wall of the hull, of which the interior cylinder encloses the flotation elements and the exterior includes a cover on its outside face that can be ejected by the pressure exerted from the interior.

L'invention concerne un système permettant de maintenir à flot tout type de navire en cas de voie d'eau grâce à des éléments gonflables de flottaison à l'extérieur de la coque du navire. Ce système est équipé d'une pluralité de mécanismes qui s'actionnent automatiquement lorsque un détecteur de niveau d'eau à l'intérieur du navire détecte que l'eau a atteint le niveau maximum autorisé. Une électrovanne s'ouvre alors et laisse s'écouler un fluide sous pression permettant de déployer les moyens de flottaison. Selon une autre variante, chaque mécanisme de déploiement peut être constitué d'une paire de cylindres mutuellement vissés à travers la paroi de la coque qui contiennent les moyens de flottaison et présentent à l'extérieur un couvercle sur leur face extérieure, couvercle qui peut être éjecté par la pression exercée de l'extérieur.
