Abstract

Clothing for improving the conditions for rescuing a man fallen into the sea, especially a sailor carrying out his duties. Floats (11 to 14) are disposed in those parts (A,B,C,D) of an oilskin which are least subject to wear. A waistband (41) delimits an air reserve, whilst a phosphorescent covering (30) is applied to these parts (A,B,C,D) of the clothing. A strap ending in a handle (50) enables rescuers to take hold of the shipwrecked person. Finally, a whistle (60) enables the latter to give an audible indication of his position. The invention applies to all work clothing worn, in bad weather, by sailors carrying out their duties on, especially, a fishing boat. <IMAGE>

Description

L'invention concerne un vêtement destiné à amélio­rer les conditions de sauvetage d'un homme tombé à la mer.The invention relates to a garment intended to improve the rescue conditions of a man who has fallen overboard.

Elle concerne plus précisément un tel vêtement por­té par les équipages des bateaux de pêche tels que des chalutiers.It relates more precisely to such clothing worn by the crews of fishing boats such as trawlers.

Tous les hivers, le monde maritime est endeuillé par des disparitions en mer, et pas toujours par suite de naufra­ges. Beaucoup de marins sont perdus, notamment sur les chalu­tiers pendant les manoeuvres de virage, de filage du chalut, par mauvais temps.Every winter, the maritime world is bereaved by disappearances at sea, and not always as a result of shipwrecks. Many sailors are lost, especially on trawlers during tacking and spinning maneuvers, in bad weather.

Il n'est pas question pour ces marins dont l'activi­té à bord est intense et demande beaucoup d'agilité, de porter des brassières de sauvetage telles qu'il en existe de nombreux modèles sur le marché, ni de combinaisons de survie trop sophis­tiquées qui entraveraient leurs mouvements.It is out of the question for these sailors, whose activity on board is intense and requires a lot of agility, to wear lifejackets such as there are many models on the market, or overly sophisticated survival suits. that would hinder their movements.

La présente invention a donc pour but de résoudre ce double problème de l'efficacité du marin lorsqu'il travaille sur son bateau et de sa récupération lorsqu'il tombe acciden­tellement à l'eau. Elle concerne un vêtement qui permet au secours de disposer de plus de temps pour repérer le naufragé et le sortie de l'eau avant qu'il ne coule.The present invention therefore aims to solve this double problem of the efficiency of the sailor when working on his boat and of his recovery when he accidentally falls into the water. It concerns a garment which allows the rescuer to have more time to locate the shipwrecked and the outlet of the water before it flows.

L'invention concerne plus précisément un vêtement de travail destiné à améliorer les conditions de sauvetage d'un homme tombé à la mer, et notamment d'un homme d'équipa­ge de bateau de pêche, vêtement du type ciré caractérisé en ce que des éléments de flottaison (11, 12, 13,14) sont disposés dans les zones (A, B, C, D) du vêtement les moins sollicitées lors des manoeuvres en cours de travail, zones respectivement situées au niveau des aisselles, de l'épaule , de la nuque et de l'arête dorsale.The invention relates more specifically to work clothing intended to improve the rescue conditions of a man who has fallen overboard, and in particular of a crew member of a fishing boat, clothing of the waxed type characterized in that elements flotation devices (11, 12, 13,14) are arranged in the areas (A, B, C, D) of the garment least stressed during maneuvers during work, areas respectively located at the armpits, shoulder , the nape of the neck and the dorsal edge.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide des expli­cations qui vont suivre et des deux figures jointes qui re­présentent respectivement, vu de face et vu de dos, un vête­ment conforme à l'invention.The invention will be better understood with the aid of the explanations which follow and of the two attached figures which respectively represent, seen from the front and seen from the back, a garment according to the invention.

Comme le montrent la figure 1 (vue de face) et la figure 2 (vue de dos), un vêtement 1 conforme à l'invention se présente sous la forme d'une vareuse, ou plus exactement d'un ciré dont la forme générale est semblable à celle qui est communément revêtue par les marins les jours de mauvais temps durant leur travail. Elle se compose d'un corps 2 de vêtement, de manches 3, et d'une capuche 5.As shown in Figure 1 (front view) and Figure 2 (back view), a garment 1 according to the invention is in the form of a jacket, or more exactly a waxed whose general shape is similar to that commonly worn by seafarers on days of bad weather while on the job. It consists of a body 2 of clothing, sleeves 3, and a hood 5.

Conformément à l'invention, un tel vêtement 1 est équipé d'un certain nombre d'éléments de flottaison dont une des caractéristiques essentielles est d'être disposés de tel­le sorte qu'ils se trouvent aux emplacements du vêtement les moins sollicités, et donc où l'usure est la moins rapide. Il s'agit en l'occurrence de la partie A du vêtement située sous les aisselles, de la partie B correspondant aux épaules, de la partie C située à l'arrière de la capuche 5 au niveau de la nuque et de la partie D située (côté dos) le long de l'axe de symétrie du vêtement, sensiblement parallèle à la colonne vertébrale de celui qui porte le vêtement.According to the invention, such a garment 1 is equipped with a certain number of flotation elements, one of the essential characteristics of which is that they are arranged in such a way that they are at the locations of the least stressed garment, and therefore where wear is the least rapid. This is part A of the garment located under the armpits, part B corresponding to the shoulders, part C located at the back of the hood 5 at the nape of the neck and part D located (back side) along the axis of symmetry of the garment, substantially parallel to the spine of the wearer.

Selon une variante de mise en oeuvre donnée à ti­tre d'exemple nullement limitatif, un vêtement conforme à l'invention peut être réalisé de la manière décrite mainte­nant.According to an implementation variant given by way of nonlimiting example, a garment according to the invention can be produced in the manner described now.

Au niveau des parties A, B, C, D décrites précédem­ment, une double paroi (double couche de tissu ab) est pré­vue. Cette double paroi délimite un logement dans lequel sont introduits des éléments de flottaison 11, 12, 13, 14 correspondant aux zones A, B, C, D. Ces éléments sont réali­sés en un matériau capable de flotter tel que du polystyrène alvéolé par exemple. Leur dimensionnement est optimisé pour, d'une part, ne pas gêner les mouvements du marin et, d'autre part, assurer à ce dernier un minimum de flottabilité qui per­met de le maintenir hors de l'eau un temps suffisant pour que les secours puissent intervenir. Les éléments 11 à 14 se pré­sentent sous la forme de boudins de flottaison de préférence plutôt larges, plats. Ils sont compartimentés par des coutu­res 100 en cas d'accrocs.At the parts A, B, C, D described above, a double wall (double layer of fabric ab) is provided. This double wall delimits a housing into which flotation elements 11, 12, 13, 14 are introduced corresponding to zones A, B, C, D. These elements are made of a material capable of floating such as alveolated polystyrene for example. Their sizing is optimized to, on the one hand, not hinder the movements of the sailor and, on the other hand, to ensure the latter a minimum of buoyancy which allows to keep him out of the water a sufficient time for the rescue can intervene. The elements 11 to 14 are in the form of flotation tubes, preferably rather broad, flat. They are compartmentalized by 100 seams in case of snags.

Comme cela a été dit précédemment, on évite de dis­poser ces éléments 11 à 14 au niveau des zones les plus sol­licitées du vêtement. On sait en effet que les cirés des ma­rins, et plus particulièrement ceux des marins qui travail­lent au chalut, sont mis à rude épreuve par les filins d'acier, au niveau du ventre 25 et des avant-bras 26, c'est-à-dire à l'extrémité des manches. Ainsi, ces éléments de flottaison 11 à 14 ne risquent pas de gêner le marin dans ses mouvements d'une part, et échappe à des risques de détérioration trop rapide d'autre part.As has been said previously, these elements 11 to 14 are avoided in the most stressed areas of the garment. We know that the oilskins of sailors, and more particularly those of sailors who work with a trawl, are severely tested by steel ropes, at the level of the belly 25 and forearms 26, that is to say - say at the end of the sleeves. Thus, these flotation elements 11 to 14 are not likely to hinder the sailor in his movements on the one hand, and escapes the risk of too rapid deterioration on the other hand.

Selon une variante de l'invention, et pour donner encore plus d'aisance au vêtement conforme à l'invention, des soufflets peuvent être réalisés notamment au niveau de la capuche 20, voire même des aisselles (non représentés). L'élément flottant 13 prévu au niveau de la nuque se présen­te, quant à lui, plus sous la forme d'un coussin que d'un boudin, ceci dans le but de protéger la tête du marin en toute circonstance, et d'éviter autant que possible les ris­ques d'évanouissement tout en maintenant la tête hors de l'eau.According to a variant of the invention, and to give even more comfort to the garment according to the invention, bellows can be produced in particular at the level of the hood 20, or even of the armpits (not shown). The floating element 13 provided at the nape of the neck is, in turn, more in the form of a cushion than a bead, this in order to protect the head of the sailor in all circumstances, and to avoid as much as possible the risk of fainting while keeping the head above water.

Selon une autre variante de l'invention, et pour améliorer encore les conditions de repérage surtout de nuit, on recouvre les parties extérieures du ciré conforme à l'in­vention, notamment au niveau des éléments flottants 11 à 14, d'une matière phosphorescente 30.According to another variant of the invention, and to further improve the tracking conditions, especially at night, the outer parts of the waxed coat according to the invention are covered, in particular at the level of the floating elements 11 to 14, with a phosphorescent material 30.

Selon une autre variante de l'invention, une ceintu­re 41, en nylon par exemple, est prévue. Elle est glissée à l'intérieur d'un coulisseau 40 lui-même situé à l'intérieur du vêtement conforme à l'invention. Seules les deux extrémi­tés 42 de cette ceinture débouchent sur l'extérieur de telle sorte que l'utilisateur puisse faire un noeud au niveau de son abdomen. Ainsi, en serrant un peu, il constitue une ré­serve d'air au-dessus de la ceinture qui, avec les éléments flottants 11 à 14 décrits précédemment, tend à augmenter encore les chances de sauvetage, pour un court instant certes, mais chaque instant gagné accroît considérablement celles-ci.According to another variant of the invention, a belt 41, made of nylon for example, is provided. It is slid inside a slide 40 itself located inside the garment according to the invention. Only the two ends 42 of this belt open onto the outside so that the user can tie a knot at his abdomen. Thus, by tightening a little, it constitutes a reserve of air above the belt which, with the floating elements 11 to 14 described above, tends to further increase the chances of rescue, for a short instant of course, but each instant earned considerably increases these.

Selon une autre variante de l'invention, une san­gle 51 formant une poignée 50 est également rendu solidaire de la capuche 5 du vêtement conforme à l'invention. Cette sangle 51 est destinée , par l'intermédiaire de la poignée 50, à servir de point d'agrippage pour les sauveteurs. Afin de ne pas risquer de blesser le naufragé, elle suit de préférence, comme le montre le pointillé 51, la couture dorsale du ciré jusqu'au niveau des reins, de telle sorte que l'effort de trac­tion résultant de la prise en charge du naufragé au niveau de la poignée 50, se répercute sur toute la longueur de la sangle 51, l'effort est ainsi réparti et permet d'éviter les risques d'accident supplémentaire au niveau de la colonne vertébrale.According to another variant of the invention, a strap 51 forming a handle 50 is also made integral with the hood 5 of the garment according to the invention. This strap 51 is intended, via the handle 50, to serve as a gripping point for rescuers. In order not to risk injuring the shipwrecked person, it preferably follows, as shown by the dotted line 51, the dorsal seam of the oilskin up to the level of the kidneys, so that the tensile force resulting from taking charge of the wrecked at the handle 50, affects the entire length of the strap 51, the effort is thus distributed and avoids the risk of additional accident at the spine.

Enfin, pour parfaire cet équipement, un moyen de repérage sonore tel qu'un sifflet 60 peut être rendu solidai­re du vêtement et accessible facilement au naufragé qui peut ainsi signaler sa détresse et sa présence.Finally, to perfect this equipment, a sound tracking means such as a whistle 60 can be made integral with the clothing and easily accessible to the shipwrecked who can thus signal his distress and his presence.

Un tel vêtement 1 conforme à l'invention n'est peut-­être pas véritablement un vêtement de survie, mais constitue tout de même une garantie non négligeable pour le marin, car, en cas d'accident,il permet à ce dernier de surnager suffisam­ment longtemps pour que les secours s'organisent, et que ses coéquipiers puissent le suivre à la trace et le saisir pour le hisser à nouveau à bord.Such a garment 1 in accordance with the invention may not really be a survival garment, but nevertheless constitutes a non-negligible guarantee for the sailor, because, in the event of an accident, it allows the latter to float long enough for relief to organize, and for its teammates can track him and grab him to hoist him back on board.

La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, elle est au contraire susceptible de modifications et de varian­tes qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art.The present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments which have just been described, it is on the contrary liable to modifications and variants which will appear to those skilled in the art.
