A wave power generating device which utilizes a simple mechanical arrangement to convert wave energy to rotational energy for subsequent conversion to other forms of energy. A main flotation section supports a pair of guides within which a frame is slidable. The frame has a float attached thereto which is responsive to the action of the waves for reciprocating the frame within the guides. A pair of racks movable with the frame and engageable with a pair of one-way drive mechanisms mounted on a power shaft drive the shaft uni-directionally on both the upstroke and the downstroke of the frame. Preferably, the guides are disposed at an oblique angle with respect to the vertical for capitalizing, at least in part, on the kinetic energy of the wave.

La présente invention a pour objet un système de génération d'énergie utilisant un dispositif mécanique de construction simple pour convertir l'énergie de la houle en mouvement rotatif aux fins de conversion sous d'autres formes d'énergie. Une partie principale comporte une paire de guides supportant une structure coulissante. Un flotteur fixé à la structure coulissante obéit au mouvement ondulatoire de la houle, entraînant celle-ci dans un mouvement alternatif. Une paire de crémaillères mobiles suivant les déplacements de la structure coulissante viennent en prise avec une paire de mécanismes de commande unidirectionnelle montés sur un arbre de commande utilisent les courses ascendantes et descendantes de la structure pour assurer la rotation unidirectionnelle de l'arbre de commande. De préférence, les guides sont inclinés obliquement par rapport à la verticale, de manière à tirer profit, partiellement du moins, de l'énergie cinétique de la houle.
