Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gaiter for protecting the lower leg of a user, capable of cover at least partially the upper of a shoe, which consists of an elongated envelope of overall tubular shape which opens and closes over its entire length with a zipper slide with two fully separable coupling tapes.
  • Gaiters of this type such as those distributed by the company "Le Vieux Campeur” are known and widely used in sporting activities, especially in sports mountain, to ensure, if necessary, the seal between the lower leg of the user and the upper of the upper of the shoe. To this end, they are very often provided with means of less in their lower part likely to partially cover the upper of a shoe. We avoid thus the penetration of foreign bodies such as snow, ice, stones, ... etc, and it ensures at the same time protection in order to prevent the risk of superficial injuries on the bottom of leg such as scrapes.
  • gaiters are not required permanently during the practice sports activities, these are planned to be able to be put in place and removed from the bottom of leg of the individual despite the presence of the shoe. For this purpose they are fully deployable thanks to the possibility of full opening of their zipper including two ribbons couplings are separable.
  • the zipper of such gaiters has two coupling tapes, a slider provided with a zipper, a means of lateral hooking of the ribbons therebetween, and a means of stopping the cursor placed on the ribbons which mark the possible engagement limit of said ribbons with each other.
  • an engagement-disengagement zone of the cursor is fitted on each tape at the end of the zipper provided with the hooking means side which remains fixed on one of the coupling tapes in this way, the cursor can be separated from the other of the coupling tapes in this engagement-disengagement zone at the same time as the lateral hooking means of the latter are lifted.
  • This arrangement reduces the risk of inadvertent opening of the zipper which is likely to occur due to the lateral tension permanently exerted by the envelope gaiter, and by the means of clasping when it is provided, on its ribbons coupling, especially when the cursor is not positively stopped on the latter.
  • gaiters are relatively satisfactory in the sense that they provide the required protection by users, but have the disadvantage of not guaranteeing the closure of the gaiter, because the risk of inadvertent opening remains regardless of the mounting direction of the zipper, and being awkward to put on the lower leg and / or on the upper of the shoe: in fact, for the installation of a gaiter it is necessary, on the one hand, to bring the coupling tapes closer to the zipper by pulling on the gaiter envelope and on the means of clamping the latter, and on the other hand, while keeping the ribbons in screw by screw, connect the lateral attachment means carried by one of the ribbons to the other ribbon in taking care to immediately engage the cursor on the two ribbons thus abutted so that they do not drop out due to the lateral tension to which they are subjected.
  • the present invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks in a simple and effective manner by allowing the execution of the various maneuvers for setting up the gaiter on the lower leg successively, in particular avoiding being forced to pull on the envelope and on the means of the gaiter at the same time as it is necessary to connect the fastening means of the closure slider on the engagement-disengagement area of the cursor on the coupling tapes of the closing.
  • it aims to allow a quick attachment of the gaiter in the position of closure by holding the coupling tapes of the zipper opposite.
  • the invention has also intended to guarantee that the gaiter is kept in the closed position on the lower leg the user, and in particular to prevent the inadvertent opening of the zipper.
  • the invention aims to allow the mounting of the zipper on the gaiter by placing the means lateral attachment of the coupling tapes in the upper part of the gaiter, and the means cursor stop in the lower part of the latter, with the guarantee of avoiding any opening inadvertent even if the lateral tension exerted on the coupling tapes by the casing of the gaiter and / or a hugging means is very high.
  • the protective gaiter of a user's lower leg capable of at least partially cover the upper of a shoe, is in the form of an envelope elongated, generally tubular, which opens and closes over its entire length with a zipper slide comprising two coupling tapes, a cursor fitted with a pull tab, a means lateral hooking of the ribbons between them and a means of stopping the cursor which marks the limit possible engagement of coupling tapes; the cursor is engaging-disengaging from one coupling tapes at the end of the zipper which is provided with the means lateral attachment of said ribbons, the other end of the latter being provided with the stop means cursor.
  • the gaiter is characterized by the fact that a quick and safety fastening device gaiter closure is associated with the zipper, at least one of the two ends of this one.
  • the quick coupler device located near one of the ends of the zipper, consists of two fastening elements to close the gaiter on the user's lower leg by placing the two coupling tapes of the zipper in a position substantially corresponding to that which they occupy when are mated using the cursor.
  • the zipper is mounted on the gaiter with its lateral attachment means located in the upper part of the latter, while its cursor stop means is located in the lower part where it has a quick hooking device associated.
  • the user can thus proceed to the quick attach maneuver of the gaiter in the position of closing without having to bend too much and in a relatively short time, without being required to pass immediately to the lateral hooking operation of the coupling tapes from the closure to slide.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of a gaiter equipped with two fastening devices fast, according to a first embodiment.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 are partial views of the gaiter of Figure 1 showing, schematically, the fastening device attachment maneuver.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along line V-V of Figure 4 showing the nesting of constituent elements of the quick coupler.
  • FIGS 6 to 8 illustrate, by way of example, different embodiments of the elements components of the quick coupler.
  • the gaiter 1 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 consists of an elongated envelope of shape generally tubular.
  • a zipper 2 comprising two coupling tapes 3 and 4, a slider 5 provided with a pull tab 6, a lateral hooking means 7 for the tapes 3 and 4 and a stop means 8-8 ', allows you to open and close the gaiter over its entire length.
  • an engagement-disengagement zone 9 of the cursor 5 is arranged on each ribbon 3 and 4 at the end 10 of the closure slide 2 which is provided with lateral hooking means 7.
  • the latter remains permanently fixed on one, 3, said ribbons 3 and 4 in order to retain the cursor 5 trapped in this same ribbon 3, and thus to make it captive.
  • the gaiter is provided with at least one fastening device quick 12 or 22 comprising at least two fastening elements 13-14, 23-24, cooperating with each other by hanging.
  • This device, 12 or 22 is associated with the zipper 2 at one of its ends 10 and 11 in order to allow the installation of gaiter 1 in the closed position, without the aid or the implementation of the zipper 2, and very advantageously in order to hold the coupling tapes 3 and 4 facing each other so that they can be easily connected to each other at using the lateral attachment means 7, and / or using the cursor 5.
  • the cooperation of the two fastening elements 13-14 or 23-24 of the quick fastening devices 12 and 22 generate the positioning coupling tapes 3 and 4 of the zipper 2 in a corresponding position substantially to that which they occupy when they are coupled using the cursor 5.
  • the gaiter 1 comprises an attachment device 22 in its upper part 15, and a fastening device 12 in its lower part 16, one 22 facilitating the engagement of the lateral attachment means 7 of the tapes 3 and 4 of the zipper 2, and the other 12 ensuring the tightening of the gaiter 1 on the shoe 17, and the safety of closing the zipper 2 by holding coupling tapes 3 and 4 opposite.
  • the coupling tapes 3 and 4 of the closure 2 are no longer subjected to lateral pulls or tensions tending to spread them apart the other, whether in the upper part 15 or lower 16 since these are the devices quick coupler 12 and 22 which are subjected to them. Consequently, maintaining the closed position of the gaiter 1 is guaranteed, and the risks of inadvertent opening of the zipper 2 are avoided.
  • quick fastening devices 12 and 22 In order to facilitate the attachment of the fastening elements 13-14, 23-24, quick fastening devices 12 and 22, easily graspable means such as tongues 18 are associated with them. So even when the gaiter 1 is provided with clamping means in its upper 15 and lower parts 16, such as elastic tightening bands 19, 20, which offer some resistance to lengthening, the user has good grips, usable without problems with gloves.
  • the quick coupling devices 12 and 22 are moreover fixed and / or located on the clamping means constituted by the clamping bands 19, 20, open at the location of the devices 12 and 22, so that the tension they generate is directly taken up at these last.
  • the quick attach devices 12 and 22 used have, respectively, fastening elements 13-14 and 23-24 which are different but which are connect in the same way, that is to say by hooking.
  • the quick coupler 22 includes as elements a hook 24 and a cutout 23 which, carried out in the extension of the clamping means 19, has a closed contour, and which acts as a hooking ring.
  • one of the fastening elements is a button 13, and the other element a buttonhole 14 consisting of a cutout circular corresponding to the outline of the button 13.
  • a notch 14 'opens into the buttonhole 14, and oriented substantially in the direction of the tension exerted by the clamping means 20, is intended to serve the housing at the foot 13 ′ of the button 13 as soon as the latter is completely introduced into the buttonhole 14 and the tongue 18 is released.
  • the quick coupling device 12 is thus retained in active gaiter closing position under the effect of the tension exerted by the clamping means 20 which constitutes the equivalent of a restraint.
  • This example of embodiment of the device quick coupling 12 shows the button 13 fixed on the tongue 18 which is intended to facilitate the hooking operation of said device 12. It is obvious that reverse mounting, as illustrated on the Figure 6 is possible.
  • the notch 14 'of the buttonhole is then also reversed to take advantage of the tension exerted by the clamping means 20 in order to retain the fastening device in the active position fast 12.
  • a circular imprint 21 of dimension at least greater than that of the button 13 is obtained, concentrically, at the end of the notch 14 '. So when the tongue 18 is released, the foot 13 'of the button 13 is housed at the bottom of the notch 14', and said button 13 fits into the imprint 21 as soon as it arrives in correspondence.
  • This imprint 21 constitutes also a means for retaining the quick-coupling device 12 in the active position.
  • the quick coupling device 22 is similar to that described with reference to FIG. 1, but, in this example, is produced in the lower part 16 of the gaiter 1, at the end 11 of the zipper 2 which is provided with the stop means 8, 8 ', the cursor 5 (not shown).
  • the quick coupling device 32 consists as above of at least two fastening elements 33 and 34 connecting by hooking, the element 33 being a ring and that 34 a hook.
  • a hook 34 the end portion 34 'of which is elastic and curved to form, in fact, the equivalent of a spring clip. It follows that when the ring 33 is hung it does not can no longer undo the hook 34 without having to provide a certain effort at least greater than that resistant that opposes the curved elastic end 34 'of said hook.
  • This end 34 ' constitutes consequently the equivalent of a means of retaining the active fastening device 32 in the active position.
  • the example of embodiment of the gaiter 1 which has just been described shows the implementation two quick couplers, one in the upper part of the gaiter, and the other in the part lower: according to other embodiments, a single quick coupling device can obviously be arranged in any of the lower and upper parts of the gaiter.
