Abstract: The present invention relates to a fender comprising a textile envelop surrounding an inflatable chamber, a valve for inflating/deflating said chamber. According to the invention, said textile envelop comprises a central part for receiving said valve and two longitudinal side parts, said side parts being linked together on at least one portion of their length by a junction zone.

Abstract: Inflatable fender having an inflatable first, internal, casing provided at least at one end in the continuation of the chamber with an inflatable tubular appendage (3) equipped with a stoppered end stub (2), this assembly being housed inside an external second casing (5) that hugs the first casing and the appendage (3) and being equipped, at the neck hugging the appendage, with at least one pair of fixings (9) of the D-ring type.

Abstract: An inflatable member for a protection device for the hull of a ship, characterized in that the inflatable member includes a deformable casing (1B) housed in a textile flexible pocket (1D) unattached to the casing (1B), the flexible pocket (1D) limiting the deformation extent of the deformable casing

Abstract: A device for protecting a boat hull has an inflatable element with a deflated state, in which the element can be positioned either inside or outside of the boat hull. When located outside the hull, the inflatable element is operatively connected to an inflation/deflation circuit by a conduit. A translational control device causes the inflatable element to be selectively positioned between a position inside the hull and a position outside the hull. When outside the hull, the inflatable element may be inflated or deflated by the inflation/deflation circuit. A bushing provides a through opening in the hull through which the conduit and deflated element pass. A weighted plug is provided at the end of conduit and is shaped to provide sealing engagement with the bushing.
