Abstract
The object of the invention is a device for deploying on the ground a temporary surface covering (1) stored rolled, characterized by the combination, on the one hand, of the temporary surface covering (1) and, on the other hand, by at least one flexible tube (2) pressed against the internal surface of said covering (1) over substantially all its length and in conjunction with the covering, said flexible tube (2) being adapted to be connected, at the free end of the rolled-up assembly, to a source of fluid under pressure (5) for its inflation.
Claims11
A device for deploying on the ground a temporary surface covering stored rolled, the device comprising:
- only one flexible tube disposed against one of the surfaces of the covering over substantially its length, in a manner substantially perpendicular to an axis of rolling/unrolling, and rolled up conjointly with the covering, said flexible tube being adapted to be connected, at a free end of the rolled-up assembly, to a source of fluid under pressure for its inflation.
A device for deploying on the ground a temporary surface covering stored rolled, the device comprising:
- at least one flexible tube disposed against one of the surfaces of the covering over substantially its length, in a manner substantially perpendicular to the axis of rolling/unrolling, and rolled up conjointly with the covering, said flexible tube being adapted to be connected, at a free end of the rolled-up assembly, to a source of fluid under pressure for its inflation, an end of the tube internal to the unrolled assembly being at least partially opened.
A device for deploying on the ground a temporary surface covering stored rolled, the device comprising:
- at least one flexible tube disposed against one of the surfaces of the covering over substantially its length, in a manner substantially perpendicular to the axis of rolling/unrolling, and rolled up conjointly with the covering, said flexible tube being constituted by a sleeve with a thin wall not secured to said covering, said flexible tube being further adapted to be connected, at a free end of the rolled-up assembly, to a source of fluid under pressure for its inflation.
A process for the deployment of a temporary surface covering on a ground covered with water, comprising the following steps of:
- first disposing at least one flexible tube against an upper surface of the temporary surface covering substantially perpendicular to an axis of rolling/unrolling, over substantially all its length, then rolling up conjointly said covering and said tube, and
- for deployment, connecting the flexible tube to a source of water under pressure for its inflation so as automatically to unroll the temporary surface covering and to cause said covering to flow onto the ground covered with water.
A process for the deployment on the ground of a temporary surface covering, the device having two flexible tubes disposed against one of the surfaces of the covering over substantially its length, in a manner substantially perpendicular to the axis of rolling/unrolling, and rolled up conjointly with the covering, the two flexible tubes being placed parallel to each other adjacent the edge of the covering, said process comprising the step of inflating differently said two flexible tubes so as to deflect the deployment to obtain a diversion.
