Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the exploration of the ocean space, intended to be fixed to a boat, the exploration device comprising a support that is able to receive one or more users in a lying position, a deployment means, said deployment means making it possible to position the support in a given position under the water such that, when the support is in said given position under the water, said one or more users can lie down on the support, being partially immersed, and fixing means for maintaining the support in the given position under the water.
Claims30
A device for exploring the ocean space, intended to be attached to a vessel, said exploration device comprising:
- a support able to receive one or more users in a recumbent position;
- deployment means, said deployment means enabling the positioning of the support in a given position under the water, such that when the support is in said given position under the water said one or more users can lie on the support while being partially immersed;
- and securing means for maintaining the support in the given position under the water;
- wherein the deployment means comprises a guiding system, said guiding system being formed of at least two bearings, or two hasps, intended to be arranged respectively on the port and starboard sides of the vessel to allow deployment by rotating bars into the given position under the water.
A device for exploring the ocean space, intended to be attached to a vessel, said exploration device comprising:
- a support able to receive one or more users in a recumbent position;
- deployment means, said deployment means enabling the positioning of the support in a given position under the water, such that when the support is in said given position under the water said one or more users can lie on the support while being partially immersed;
- and
- securing means for maintaining the support in the given position under the water;
- wherein the deployment means is intended to be mounted at least either to port or starboard on the lateral faces of the vessel and comprises at least two structures located on the same lateral face of the vessel respectively at the front and back of the boat, said structures forming a frame to which the support is secured in the given position under the water.
A system comprising a semi-rigid vessel and a device for exploring the ocean space equipping said vessel, said device comprising:
- a support able to receive one or more users in a recumbent position;
- deployment means, said deployment means enabling the positioning of the support in a given position under the water, such that when the support is in said given position under the water said one or more users can lie on the support while being partially immersed;
- and securing means for maintaining the support in the given position under the water;
- wherein the deployment means comprises a guiding system, said guiding system being formed of at least two bearings, or two hasps, intended to be arranged respectively on the port and starboard sides of the vessel to allow deployment by rotating bars into the given position under the water.
A system comprising an inflatable vessel and a device for exploring the ocean space equipping said vessel, said device comprising:
- a support able to receive one or more users in a recumbent position:
