Description

L'invention est relative à un cuissard d'encordement pour la sécurité des personnes effectuant un rappel le long d'une corde, comprenant une paire de tours de cuisses associée à une ceinture dotée d'un organe d'accrochage central agencé sur la branche ventrale, chaque tour de cuisse étant équipé d'un brin prolongateur attaché à un premier et un deuxième points de liaison de la branche ventrale, et d'un dispositif de réglage destiné à ajuster la dimension souhaitée du tour de cuisse en fonction de la morphologie de l'utilisateur.The invention relates to a roping shorts for the safety of persons performing a rappelling along a rope, comprising a pair of leg loops associated with a belt provided with a central hooking member arranged on the branch ventral, each thigh circumference being equipped with an extension strand attached to a first and a second connection point of the ventral branch, and an adjustment device intended to adjust the desired dimension of the thigh circumference according to the morphology of the user.

Le réglage des tours de cuisses équipant les cuissards ou baudriers connus s'effectue généralement au moyen d'une boucle attachée à chaque tour de cuisse. La formation de ce dernier résulte du passage de l'extrémité libre de la sangle principale dans la boucle. Il suffit de tirer sur la sangle dans un sens ou dans l'autre au niveau de la boucle pour obtenir la dimension souhaitée. Un tel agencement nécessite un blocage efficace de la corde dans la boucle. A la suite d'une chute, un défaut de blocage risque en effet de provoquer un échappement indésirable de la sangle hors de la boucle, et l'ouverture simultanée du tour de cuisse. La présence de la boucle sur le tour de cuisse pose d'autre part le problème du décollement de la boucle lors de l'utilisation du cuissard. Voir p.ex. GB-A-272602 et FR-A-2 221 910.The adjustment of the thigh loops fitted to known waders or harnesses is generally carried out by means of a loop attached to each thigh loop. The formation of the latter results from the passage of the free end of the main strap in the loop. Just pull the strap in one direction or the other at the buckle to get the desired size. Such an arrangement requires effective blocking of the rope in the loop. Following a fall, a blocking defect may indeed cause an undesirable escape of the strap out of the buckle, and the simultaneous opening of the thigh circumference. The presence of the loop on the thigh also poses the problem of detachment of the loop when using the shorts. See eg GB-A-272602 and FR-A-2 221 910.

L'objet de l'invention consiste à améliorer la sécurité et le confort des cuissards ou baudriers d'encordement réglables.The object of the invention is to improve the safety and comfort of the adjustable harness or seat harnesses.

Le cuissard selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le dispositif de réglage de chaque tour de cuisse comporte une boucle de retenue fixée à la ceinture par une sangle d'attache, et une sangle de réglage ayant une première extrémité libre coopérant avec la boucle, et une deuxième extrémité opposée solidarisée à l'anneau fermé du tour de cuisse, et que le moyen de fixation, conformant ledit anneau fermé, est situé entre la boucle de retenue et la deuxième extrémité lorsque la sangle de réglage est engagée dans la boucle.The shorts according to the invention are characterized in that the adjustment device for each thigh circumference comprises a retaining loop fixed to the belt by a fastening strap, and an adjustment strap having a first free end cooperating with the loop, and a second opposite end secured to the closed ring of the thigh, and that the fixing means, conforming said closed ring, is located between the retaining loop and the second end when the adjustment strap is engaged in the buckle.

Le premier critère de sécurité est obtenu par l'impossibilité d'ouvrir les tours de cuisses. On est sûr que les anneaux des tours de cuisses sont fermés en permanence, indépendamment de l'état du dispositif de réglage.The first safety criterion is obtained by the impossibility of opening the thigh loops. It is certain that the rings of the leg loops are permanently closed, regardless of the state of the adjustment device.

Le deuxième critère de confort résulte de la fixation de la boucle de réglage à la ceinture, et non pas au tour de cuisse. L'effet de décollement de la boucle est ainsi supprimé.The second comfort criterion results from the attachment of the adjustment buckle to the belt, and not around the thigh. The loosening effect of the loop is thus eliminated.

De préférence, la sangle de réglage traverse un passant fixé sur chaque tour de cuisse au niveau du moyen de fixation correspondant.Preferably, the adjustment strap passes through a loop fixed on each thigh circumference at the corresponding fixing means.

De préférence, la largeur de la sangle de réglage et de la sangle d'attache correspondante est inférieure à celle de la sangle formant les tours de cuisses.Preferably, the width of the adjustment strap and of the corresponding attachment strap is less than that of the strap forming the thigh towers.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et représenté aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un cuissard équipé du dispositif de réglage selon l'invention ;
  • les figures 2 à 4 montrent une vue partielle à echelle agrandie de la figure 1, de différentes étapes de mise en oeuvre du réglage d'un tour de cuisse.
Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly from the description which follows of an embodiment of the invention given by way of nonlimiting example, and represented in the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of a shorts equipped with the adjustment device according to the invention;
  • Figures 2 to 4 show a partial view on an enlarged scale of Figure 1, of different stages of implementation of the adjustment of a thigh turn.

Sur les figures, un cuissard 10 ou baudrier de sécurité comporte une paire de tours de cuisses 12, 14, et une ceinture 16 équipée d'un organe d'accrochage 18 central agencé sur la branche ventrale 20. L'extrémité de la branche ventrale 20 est dotée d'une attache 22 ou fermoir destinée à recevoir l'autre extrémité 24 de la branche dorsale 26 pour adapter la circonférence de la ceinture 16 à la taille de l'utilisateur. La ceinture 16 est réalisée à partir d'une première sangle 28 en matériau souple de grande résistance mécanique, notamment en polyamide.In the figures, a shorts 10 or safety harness includes a pair of thigh loops 12, 14, and a belt 16 equipped with a central hooking member 18 arranged on the ventral branch 20. The end of the ventral branch 20 is provided with a fastener 22 or clasp intended to receive the other end 24 of the dorsal branch 26 to adapt the circumference of the belt 16 to the size of the user. The belt 16 is made from a first strap 28 made of flexible material of high mechanical strength, in particular polyamide.

Une deuxième sangle 30 de même nature que la première 28 est utilisée pour l'agencement des tours de cuisses 12, 14 identiques, réunis l'un à l'autre par l'organe d'accrochage 18.A second strap 30 of the same kind as the first 28 is used for the arrangement of identical thigh towers 12, 14, joined to one another by the hooking member 18.

L'une des extrémités de la deuxième sangle 30 est attachée par un premier moyen de fixation 32 en un premier point prédéterminé de ladite sangle 30 pour constituer le premier tour de cuisse 12 conformé selon un anneau fermé. Un brin prolongateur 34 du premier tour de cuisse 12 est fixé à un premier point de liaison 36 de la branche ventrale 20.One of the ends of the second strap 30 is attached by a first fastening means 32 at a first predetermined point of said strap 30 to constitute the first thigh circumference 12 shaped according to a closed ring. An extension strand 34 of the first thigh circumference 12 is fixed to a first connection point 36 of the ventral branch 20.

Le deuxième tour de cuisse 14 est fabriqué d'une manière identique au moyen d'un deuxième moyen de fixation 38 destiné à assembler l'extrémité opposée de la sangle 30 à un deuxième point. Le positionnement des deux points de fixation des tours de cuisses 12, 14 est choisi pour obtenir deux anneaux fermés identiques. Le brin prolongateur 40 du deuxième tour de cuisse 14 est attaché à un deuxième point de liaison 42 de la ceinture 16.The second leg loop 14 is manufactured in an identical manner by means of a second fastening means 38 intended to assemble the opposite end of the strap 30 at a second point. The positioning of the two attachment points of the leg loops 12, 14 is chosen to obtain two identical closed rings. The extension strand 40 of the second thigh circumference 14 is attached to a second connection point 42 of the belt 16.

L'organe d'accrochage 18 est formé par une boucle de la sangle 30 reliée aux deux points de liaison 36, 42. Tout autre système d'accrochage peut être utilisé, notamment une boucle métallique ou deux attaches séparées.The attachment member 18 is formed by a loop of the strap 30 connected to the two connection points 36, 42. Any other attachment system can be used, in particular a metal loop or two separate fasteners.

Chaque tour de cuisse 12, 14 est équipé d'un dispositif de réglage 44 destiné à ajuster la taille de l'anneau en fonction de la morphologie de l'utilisateur.Each thigh circumference 12, 14 is equipped with an adjustment device 44 intended to adjust the size of the ring as a function of the morphology of the user.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de réglage 44 de chaque tour de cuisse 12, 14 comporte une boucle 46 de retenue fixée à la branche ventrale 20 de la ceinture 16 par une sangle d'attache 48, 50, et une sangle de réglage 52 dont l'une des extrémités 54 coopère avec la boucle 46, et dont l'extrêmité opposée 56 est solidarisée à l'anneau fermé du tour de cuisse 12, 14. Un passant 58 est cousu sur la face apparente de chaque tour de cuisse 12, 14 au voisinage du moyen de fixation 32, 38 pour autoriser le passage de la sangle de réglage 52.According to the invention, the adjustment device 44 of each thigh circumference 12, 14 comprises a retaining loop 46 fixed to the ventral branch 20 of the belt 16 by a fastening strap 48, 50, and an adjustment strap 52 one of the ends 54 of which cooperates with the loop 46, and the opposite end 56 of which is secured to the closed ring of the thigh circumference 12, 14. A loop 58 is sewn onto the visible face of each thigh circumference 12 , 14 in the vicinity of the fixing means 32, 38 to authorize the passage of the adjustment strap 52.

Les deux boucles 46 de retenue représentées sur les figures sont du type à passage multiple de la sangle de réglage 52, mais d'autres boucles, notamment à autoserrage, peuvent être utilisées.The two retaining loops 46 shown in the figures are of the multiple-pass type of the adjustment strap 52, but other loops, in particular with self-tightening, can be used.

La distance entre les points de liaison 36, 42 des brins prolongateurs 34, 40 est inférieure à l'écartement des coutures 60, 62 reliant les sangles d'attache 48, 50 à la ceinture 16.The distance between the connection points 36, 42 of the extension strands 34, 40 is less than the spacing of the seams 60, 62 connecting the fastening straps 48, 50 to the belt 16.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de réglage 44 de l'un 12 des tours de cuisses est illustré sur les figures 2 à 4 :The operation of the adjusting device 44 of one of the thigh loops is illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4:

Sur la figure 2, la sangle de réglage 52 n'est pas engagée dans le passant 58 et dans la boucle 46 de retenue, et la distance d1 entre l'extrémité 56 d'attache et le premier moyen de fixation 32 est maximum. L'anneau du tour de cuisse 12 est fermé en permanence et présente la taille la plus grande.In FIG. 2, the adjustment strap 52 is not engaged in the loop 58 and in the retaining loop 46, and the distance d1 between the end 56 of attachment and the first fixing means 32 is maximum. The thigh ring 12 is permanently closed and has the largest size.

Pour réduire la taille de l'anneau en fonction de la morphologie de l'utilisateur, il suffit d'exercer une traction sur la sangle de réglage 52, de manière à rapprocher l'extrémité 56 vers le premier moyen de fixation 32, et à diminuer la distance d2 par rapport à d1 (figure 3). La formation d'un pli 64 dirigé vers l'intérieur permet d'obtenir une diminution de la taille de l'anneau.To reduce the size of the ring as a function of the morphology of the user, it suffices to exert traction on the adjustment strap 52, so as to bring the end 56 towards the first fixing means 32, and to decrease the distance d2 with respect to d1 (Figure 3). The formation of a fold 64 directed inwards makes it possible to obtain a reduction in the size of the ring.

Sur la figure 4, la sangle de réglage 52 traverse le passant 58 et est engagée dans la boucle 46 pour ajuster le réglage du tour de cuisse 12 à une valeur prédéterminée.In FIG. 4, the adjustment strap 52 passes through the loop 58 and is engaged in the loop 46 to adjust the adjustment of the thigh circumference 12 to a predetermined value.

La même opération est effectuée sur l'autre tour de cuisse 14.The same operation is performed on the other thigh circumference 14.

On remarque que les anneaux des deux tours de cuisses 12, 14 restent fermés en permanence indépendamment de l'état du dispositif de réglage 44. Le cuissard 10 est de ce fait particulièrement adapté pour les écoles d'escalade car il est toujours utilisable avec une sécurité suffisante, même en cas d'oubli d'engagement de la sangle de réglage 52 dans la boucle 46 de retenue.It is noted that the rings of the two thigh towers 12, 14 remain permanently closed regardless of the state of the adjustment device 44. The shorts 10 are therefore particularly suitable for climbing schools because it is always usable with a sufficient security, even in case of forgetting to engage the adjustment strap 52 in the retaining loop 46.

La largeur de la sangle de réglage 52 et de la sangle d'attache 48, 50 est inférieure à celle de la deuxième sangle 30. Il en résulte que la boucle 46 de retenue présente également une largeur inférieure à celle de la sangle 30.The width of the adjustment strap 52 and of the attachment strap 48, 50 is less than that of the second strap 30. As a result, the retaining loop 46 also has a width that is less than that of the strap 30.

La fixation de la boucle 46 de retenue à la ceinture 16, et non pas sur le tour de cuisse 12 ou 14, permet d'éviter tout effet de décollement de la boucle 46 lors de l'utilisation du cuissard 10.The attachment of the retaining loop 46 to the belt 16, and not to the thigh circumference 12 or 14, makes it possible to avoid any effect of detachment of the loop 46 when using the shorts 10.
