Description

Title of the invention: Mobile protective equipment for the protection of naval vessel personnel

[0001] The present invention relates to mobile protective equipment for the protection of naval vessel personnel.

[0002] It is known to embark on a naval vessel, in particular a military naval vessel, one or more autonomous aircraft, or drones, capable of moving without a pilot on board. More and more of these aircraft are also capable of taking off and landing without the intervention of personnel dedicated to this task.

[0003] However, for certain models and / or in difficult conditions, it may be necessary to have a person on deck to assist in the take-off and / or landing of aircraft. In this case, the personnel must be positioned in the vicinity of the take-off or landing area and have a clear view of the surroundings of the naval vessel in order to best guide the aircraft during maneuvers to approach or move the aircraft away from the naval vessel.

[0004] Personnel on the deck are then exposed and are likely to be injured, for example, by debris from an aircraft damaged during takeoff or landing maneuvers.

[0005] To overcome this drawback, it may be provided to install a glazed sentry box on a deck of the naval building in order to allow a user to pilot an autonomous aircraft remotely while remaining sheltered inside the sentry box.

[0006] However, such a sentry box cannot be moved, which reduces the freedom of action of a user, in particular when the aircraft or aircraft are likely to take off and / or land at different locations on the naval building, and occupies a significant amount of space on the deck, which reduces the usable surface area thereof.

[0007] One of the aims of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing protective equipment that is compact and offers a user great freedom of action.

[0008] To this end, the invention relates to mobile protective equipment for the protection of naval vessel personnel comprising:

[0009] - at least one lower structure, comprising at least one solid lower panel and two solid lower side panels extending on either side of the lower panel in a transverse direction and movable relative to the inner panel between a retracted position, in which the side panels are folded against the lower panel, and a deployed position, in which the side panels extend from the lower panel to extend the protective surface of the lower structure in the transverse direction,

[0010] - at least one upper structure, comprising at least one glazed panel and at least one at least two glazed side panels extending on either side of the glazed panel in the transverse direction and movable relative to the glazed panel between a retracted position, in which the glazed side panels are folded against the glazed panel, and a deployed position, in which the glazed side panels extend from the glazed panel to extend the protective surface of the upper structure in the transverse direction,

[0011] - a rolling device mounted on the lower structure allowing to move protective equipment on a deck of a naval vessel,

[0012] the upper structure being movable relative to the lower structure between a retracted position, in which the upper structure extends against the lower structure, and a deployed position, in which the upper structure extends the lower structure in a direction of elevation substantially perpendicular to the transverse direction.

[0013] The protective equipment is particularly space-saving and easily movable in the retracted position of the lower side panels, the glazed side panels and the upper structure. Thus, the protective equipment can be stored without occupying a significant amount of space and can be moved and positioned at the most advantageous location when it is to be used. In the deployed position of the lower and glazed side panels and the upper structure, the protective equipment provides extensive protection to a user while providing a significant field of vision.

[0014] The mobile protection equipment according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following characteristics, taken in isolation or in any technically conceivable combination: - the lower structure comprises a lower bearing surface, formed by a lower edge of the lower panel in the elevation direction opposite the upper structure, the bearing surface being intended to rest the deck of a naval vessel when the upper structure is in the deployed position; - the rolling device is movable relative to the lower structure between a retracted position, in which the rolling device is folded against the lower structure so as to extend to a height greater than or equal to the height of the lower bearing surface so that the protective equipment rests on the deck by the bearing surface, and a deployed position, in which the lower bearing surface extends to a height greater than the rolling device so that the protective equipment can be moved on the bridge by the rolling device; - the lower structure comprises an element for anchoring to the deck of the naval building, said anchoring element extending projecting under the lower bearing surface in the elevation direction, in an anchoring position of the anchoring element; - the upper structure is mounted to move in translation in the direction of elevation on the lower structure between the retracted position and the deployed position; - the lower side panels are mounted to rotate on side edges of the lower panel around axes of rotation extending in the direction of elevation between the retracted position and the deployed position; - the glazed side panels are mounted to rotate on lateral edges of the glazed panel around axes of rotation extending in the direction of elevation between the retracted position and the deployed position; - the rolling device comprises at least one drive wheel, rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the transverse direction and to the elevation direction relative to the lower structure, and at least one idler wheel rotatable about an axis of rotation substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive wheel on the one hand and about an axis extending substantially in the elevation direction on the other hand relative to the lower structure, the drive wheel and the idler wheel extending on either side of the lower structure in the transverse direction; - the lower structure comprises at least one stabilizing leg extending projecting from the lower panel in an anchoring position and / or at least one element for hooking a stabilizing strap; - the upper structure comprises at least one augmented reality device arranged to display information on the glass panel.

[0015] Other aspects and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description, given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:

[0016] [Fig-1] - [Fig.l] is a schematic perspective representation of a protective equipment according to the invention in the deployed position seen from the front,

[0017] [Fig.2] - [Fig.2] is a schematic perspective representation of the protective equipment [Fig.l] in the deployed position seen from the rear,

[0018] [Fig.3] - [Fig.3] is a schematic perspective representation of the protective equipment of [Fig.l] in the retracted position seen from the front,

[0019] [Fig.4] - [Fig.4] is a schematic perspective representation of the protective equipment of [Fig.l] in the retracted position seen from behind,

[0020] [Fig.5] - [Fig.5] is a schematic side view of part of the protective equipment of [Fig.l] showing the rolling device in the deployed position,

[0021] [Fig.6] - [Fig.6] is a schematic side view of part of the protective equipment of [Fig.l] showing the rolling device in the retracted position, and

[0022] [Fig.7] - [Fig.7] is a schematic perspective representation of part of the protective equipment of [Fig.l] showing an augmented reality device on the glass panel.

[0023] With reference to Figs. 1 and 2, a mobile protective equipment 1 is described comprising a lower structure 2 and an upper structure 4 defining a front face 6 and a rear face 8. Such protective equipment 1 allows a user to position himself on the side of the rear face 8 to be protected against projectiles, such as aircraft debris, striking the front face 6, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

[0024] In use as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the upper structure 4 extends above the lower structure 2 in an elevation direction Z. The elevation direction corresponds for example to the vertical direction when the protective equipment 1 rests on horizontal ground. In the remainder of the description, the terms “above”, “below”, etc. are defined according to the elevation direction and any height is measured according to the elevation direction Z.

[0025] When the protective equipment 1 is used, the lower structure 2 rests on a ground, for example formed by the deck of a naval vessel, more particularly a military naval vessel and the upper structure 4 extends above the lower structure 2 so that a user facing the rear face 8 is entirely protected by the protective equipment 1, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In other words, the total height of the protective equipment 1, corresponding to the sum of the heights of the lower 2 and upper 4 structures, is greater than the height of the user. The total height of the protective equipment 1 is for example between 2 m and 2.1 m. According to one embodiment, described in more detail later, the height of the protective equipment 1 is adjustable.

[0026] The lower structure 2 comprises at least one solid lower panel 10 and at least two lower side panels 12 extending on either side of the lower panel 10 in a transverse direction, substantially perpendicular to the elevation direction Z and to a longitudinal direction, corresponding to the direction going from the front face 6 to the rear face 8.

[0027] By solid panel is meant a panel without a through opening between the front face 6 and the rear face 8, as well as a glazed opening. According to one embodiment, the lower panel 10 is made of a material suitable for protection against projectiles, such as a ballistic protection material. Thus, the lower panel 10 comprises, for example, a plate made of metal, Kevlar© or other, this plate forming at least the front face 6 of the lower panel 10. According to one embodiment, the lower panel 10 comprises several plates extending against each other between the front face 6 and the rear face 8.

[0028] The lower panel 10 is delimited by two lateral edges 14, extending in the elevation direction Z when the protective equipment 1 is used and spaced from each other in the transverse direction, a lower edge 16 and an upper edge 18 connecting the lateral edges 14, extending in the transverse direction and spaced from each other in the elevation direction. The lower edge 16 also forms the lower edge of the lower structure 2, opposite the upper structure 4, and forms a lower bearing surface 20 ([Fig.2]) resting on the deck when the protective equipment 1 is used. The lower panel 10 has a height, for example substantially between 1.2 m and 1.3 m and a width, measured in the transverse direction, for example substantially between 1.1 m and 1.2 m.

[0029] The side panels 12 are also solid. The side panels 12 are for example made of the same material as the lower panel 10. The side panels 12 extend along the lateral edges 14 of the lower panel 10, for example over the entire height of these lateral edges 14. Each side panel 12 has for example a width of between 0.5 m and 1 m.

[0030] Each side panel 12 is movable relative to the lower panel 10 between a retracted position (Figs. 3 to 6) and a deployed position (Figs. 1, 2 and 7).

[0031] In the retracted position, each side panel 12 is folded against the lower panel 10 and extends, for example, opposite the rear face 8 thereof. In other words, in the retracted position, the side panels do not increase the width of the lower structure 2, the width of the lower structure 2 corresponding, in this position, to the width of the lower panel 10.

[0032] In the deployed position, each side panel 12 extends from the lower panel 10 to extend the protective surface of the lower structure 2. In other words, in the deployed position, the side panels 12 project from the lower panel 10 in the transverse direction to protect a larger area around the user, in particular at the user's sides. According to one embodiment, each side panel 12 forms a non-zero angle of between 90° and 180° with the lower panel 10, more particularly with the rear face 8 of the lower panel 10. Thus, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in the deployed position, the lower part of the user's body is protected in front of him and on his sides against projectiles striking the front face 6 of the lower structure 2 by the lower panel 10 and the side panels 12. According to one embodiment, the deployed position of each side panel 12 is adjustable, the user choosing the angle between each side panel 12 and the lower panel 10 by moving the side panel 12 more or less away from the lower panel 10. A stop element 22 may be provided to limit the movement of each side panel 12 in the deployed position.

[0033] According to one embodiment, the side panels 12 are rotatable relative to the lower panel 10 between the retracted and deployed positions. The axis of rotation then extends along the lateral edge 14 of the lower panel 10 to which the side panel 12 is attached. Alternatively, the side panels 12 move in translation in the transverse direction between the retracted and deployed positions. According to a particular embodiment, each side panel comprises a telescopic portion making it possible to increase the width of the side panel 12 by deploying the telescopic portion relative to the remainder of the side panel 12 in the deployed position. In the retracted position, the telescopic portion is retracted into or against the remainder of the side panel 12 so as to limit the size of the side panel 12 when it is folded against the lower panel 10.

[0034] A rolling device is further mounted on the lower structure 2 in order to allow the protective equipment 2 to be moved in the naval vessel by rolling it. The rolling device comprises at least one drive wheel 24 mounted on one of the lateral edges 14 of the lower panel 10 and rotatable about an axis of rotation extending in the longitudinal direction. According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the rolling device comprises two drive wheels 24 mounted on the same lateral edge 14 of the lower panel 10.According to one embodiment, the rolling device further comprises at least one idler wheel 26 mounted on the other lateral edge 14 of the lower panel 10 and rotatable about an axis of rotation extending in the longitudinal direction and further rotatable relative to the lower panel about an axis of rotation extending substantially in the elevation direction Z or in a direction slightly inclined relative to the elevation direction Z, as shown in [Fig. 5]. Such an idler wheel 26 makes it possible to orient the direction of movement of the protective equipment 1. The diameter of the idler wheel 26 is for example smaller than that of the driving wheel 24. To move the protective equipment 1, the user stands on the side of the idler wheel 26 and rolls the protective equipment 1 to the desired location.According to one embodiment, the rolling device comprises two idler wheels 26 mounted on the same lateral edge 14 of the lower panel 10.

[0035] According to the embodiment shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the rolling device is furthermore movable relative to the lower structure 2 between a retracted position ([Fig.6]) and a deployed position ([Fig.5]). In the retracted position, the wheels of the device rolling device are raised relative to the lower edge 16 of the lower panel 10 so that the bearing surface 20 can rest on the deck of the naval vessel and ensure the stable maintenance of the protective equipment 1 in the elevation direction Z. In other words, in the retracted position, the rolling device is folded against the lower structure 2 so as to extend to a height greater than or equal to the height of the lower bearing surface 20 so that the protective equipment 1 rests on the deck by this lower bearing surface 20. In the deployed position, the protective element is in contact with the ground via the rolling device, so that the protective element 1 can be moved in a simple manner.In other words, in the deployed position, the lower support surface 20 extends to a height greater than the rolling device so that the protective equipment 1 can be moved on the deck by the rolling device.

[0036] To move from the retracted position to the deployed position, the driving wheel(s) 24 on the one hand and the idler wheel(s) 26 on the other hand are for example mounted to be able to rotate about their longitudinal axis of rotation on a support 28 itself mounted to be able to rotate about a longitudinal axis of rotation on the lower structure 2 between the retracted position and the deployed position.

[0037] According to one embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the protective equipment 1 on a deck when it rests on the lower bearing surface, the lower structure 2 further comprises an anchoring element 30 to the deck of the naval vessel. The anchoring element 30 extends projecting under the lower bearing surface 20 in the elevation direction in an anchoring position of the anchoring element 30 in order to cooperate with a corresponding housing (not shown), extending hollow in the deck of the naval vessel. The anchoring element 30 is for example arranged to lock in the corresponding housing when the lower bearing surface 20 is arranged against the deck by passing the rolling device from the deployed position to the retracted position when the protective equipment 1 is positioned at the desired location.According to one embodiment, the naval building comprises several housings corresponding for example to several aircraft take-off and landing zones in order to allow the positioning of the protective equipment 1 in different places on the deck depending on the zone used by an aircraft and / or in order to allow the positioning of several protective equipment 1 when several aircraft are used simultaneously.

[0038] According to an alternative or complementary embodiment not shown, the protective equipment comprises at least one stabilizing leg extending projecting from the lower panel 10 in an anchoring position and / or at least one element for hooking a stabilizing strap in order to improve the maintenance of the protective equipment 1 when it rests on the deck by means of the lower support surface 20. In the case of the stabilizing leg, this is for example retractable and / or telescopic so that it does not hinder the movement of the protective equipment 1 and does not increase its size when the protective equipment 1 is stored.

[0039] The upper structure 4 comprises at least one glazed panel 32 and at least two glazed side panels 34 extending on either side of the glazed panel 32 in the transverse direction.

[0040] By glazed panel is meant a panel made at least in part of a transparent or translucent material allowing to see through at least the rear face 8 towards the front face 6. In other words, a user placed on the side of the rear face 8 can see what extends on the side of the front face 6 by looking through the glazed panel. According to one embodiment, the glazed panel 32 is made at least in part of armored glass or other material suitable for seeing through while ensuring protection against projectiles. According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the glazed panel 32 comprises a glazed plate 36 made entirely of such a material and mounted in a frame 38 surrounding the glazed plate 36.

[0041] The glazed panel 32 is delimited by two lateral edges 40, extending in the elevation direction Z when the protective equipment 1 is used and spaced from each other in the transverse direction, a lower edge 42 and an upper edge 44 connecting the lateral edges 40, extending in the transverse direction and spaced from each other in the elevation direction. When the protective equipment is used, the glazed panel 32 extends above the lower panel 10 so as to extend opposite the upper part of the user's body, for example from the user's waist to above his head so that the user has a clear field of vision when looking through the glazed panel 32. For this purpose, the glazed panel 32 has a height for example substantially between 0.7 m and 0.9 m and a width substantially equal to that of the lower panel 10.

[0042] The side panels 34 are also glazed. The glazed side panels 34 are for example made of the same material as the glazed panel 32. The glazed side panels 34 extend along the lateral edges 40 of the glazed panel 32, for example over the entire height of these lateral edges 40. Each glazed side panel 34 has for example a width of between 0.5 m and 1 m, for example substantially equal to the width of the side panels of the lower structure 2.

[0043] Each glazed side panel 34 is movable relative to the glazed panel 32 between a retracted position (Figs. 3 to 6) and a deployed position (Figs. 1, 2 and 7).

[0044] In the retracted position, each glazed side panel 34 is folded against the glazed panel 32 and extends, for example, opposite the rear face 8 thereof. In other words, in the retracted position, the glazed side panels do not increase not the width of the upper structure 4, the width of the upper structure 4 corresponding, in this position, to the width of the glass panel 32.

[0045] In the deployed position, each glazed side panel 34 extends from the glazed panel 32 to extend the protective surface of the upper structure 4. In other words, in the deployed position, the glazed side panels 34 project from the glazed panel 32 in the transverse direction to protect a larger area around the user, in particular at the user's sides. According to one embodiment, each glazed side panel 34 forms a non-zero angle of between 90° and 180° with the glazed panel 32, more particularly with the rear face 8 of the glazed panel 32. Thus, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in the deployed position, the upper part of the user's body is protected in front of him and on his sides against projectiles striking the front face 6 of the upper structure 4 by the glazed panel 32 and the glazed side panels 34.According to one embodiment, the deployed position of each glazed side panel 34 is adjustable, the user choosing the angle between each glazed side panel 34 and the glazed panel 32 by moving the glazed side panel 34 more or less away from the glazed panel 32. The lower structure 2 can serve as a stop element to limit the movement of each glazed side panel 34 in the deployed position.

[0046] According to one embodiment, the glazed side panels 34 are rotatable relative to the glazed panel 32 between the retracted and deployed positions. The axis of rotation then extends along the lateral edge 40 of the glazed panel 32 to which the glazed side panel 34 is attached, for example by being articulated to the frame 36. Alternatively, the glazed side panels 34 move in translation in the transverse direction between the retracted and deployed positions. According to a particular embodiment, each glazed side panel 34 comprises a telescopic portion making it possible to increase the width of the glazed side panel 34 by deploying the telescopic portion relative to the rest of the glazed side panel 34 in the deployed position. In the retracted position, the telescopic portion is retracted into or against the remainder of the glazed side panel 34 so as to limit the bulk of the glazed side panel 34 when it is folded against the glazed panel 32.

[0047] The upper structure 4 is furthermore movable relative to the lower structure 2 between a retracted position (Figs. 3 to 6) and a deployed position (Figs. 1, 2 and 7).

[0048] In the retracted position, the glazed side panels 34 are in their retracted position and the upper structure 2 extends against the lower structure 2. More particularly, the glazed panel 32 and the glazed side panels 34 in the retracted position extend opposite the lower panel 10 so that the dimensions of the protective equipment 1 in the retracted position of the upper structure 4 correspond to the dimensions of the lower structure 2, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. More particularly, when the side panels 12 of the lower structure 2 are also in the retracted position, the size of the protective equipment 1 is particularly reduced so that it can be stored easily and without occupying a significant amount of space on the naval vessel. In addition, the movement of the protective equipment 1 is also facilitated due to this small size.

[0049] In the deployed position, the upper structure 4 extends the lower structure 2 in the elevation direction so as to extend above the lower structure 2 as described previously. Thus, in the deployed position, a user is fully protected by the protective equipment 1 while having a clear field of vision thanks to the upper structure 2 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This allows a user to pilot an aircraft remotely, for example to assist in takeoff and / or landing operations.

[0050] To allow the upper structure 4 to move between the retracted position and the deployed position, the upper structure 4 is mounted to be able to move in translation along the elevation direction Z on the lower structure 2. More particularly, the frame 36 of the glazed panel 32 is for example mounted in rails extending along the lateral edges 14 of the lower panel 10 to allow the upper structure 4 to move relative to the lower structure 2. One or more locking elements (not shown) are for example provided to allow the upper structure 4 to be locked in the deployed position. According to one embodiment, the height of the upper structure 2 in the deployed position is adjustable in order to adapt this height to the size of a user. According to this embodiment, the upper structure 4 can then be locked in different positions relative to the lower structure 2.

[0051] According to a particular embodiment shown in [Fig.7], the upper structure 4 comprises at least one augmented reality device arranged to display information 46 on the glass panel 32. Such information gives, for example, a user indications to assist him in piloting an aircraft remotely, such as the position of the aircraft, weather conditions, etc.

[0052] According to one embodiment, the protective equipment may further comprise a removable panel, such as an additional glazed panel, extending between the free ends of the side panels 12 and 34 of the lower 2 and upper 4 structures in the deployed position so as to form with these structures a closed enclosure completely surrounding the user. Such a removable panel makes it possible to provide protection all around the user while leaving his field of vision free in all directions.

[0053] The protective equipment 1 makes it possible to effectively protect a user on the deck of a naval vessel while allowing the latter to assist in operations of take-off and / or landing of an aircraft remotely. The protective equipment 1 is also easily movable to different locations within the naval building and can be stored without taking up significant space within the naval building.
