There is a lateral connector (7) for fastening sections (2,3) and slide (5), with slide stops (8, 8'') limiting the range of engagement. A quick fastening device (12, 22, 23) also secures the closure of the gaiter, which is located at the end(s) of the zip.

Description

L'invention se rapporte à une guêtre de protection du bas de jambe d'un utilisateur, susceptible de recouvrir au moins en partie la tige d'une chaussure, qui est constituée d'une enveloppe allongée de forme globalement tubulaire qui s'ouvre et se ferme sur toute sa longueur à l'aide d'une fermeture à glissière comportant deux rubans d'accouplement totalement séparables.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.

Des guêtres de ce type telles que celles distribuées par la société "Le Vieux Campeur" sont connues et très largement utilisées dans les activités sportives notamment dans celles des sports de montagne, pour assurer, en cas de besoin, l'étanchéité entre le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur et le haut de la tige de la chaussure. A cette fin elles sont dotées très souvent de moyens d'enserrement au moins dans leur partie inférieure susceptible de recouvrir en partie la tige d'une chaussure. On évite ainsi la pénétration de corps étrangers tels que la neige, la glace, les cailloux,...etc, et on assure en même temps une protection en vue de prévenir les risques de blessures superficielles sur le bas de jambe telles que les éraflures.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.

Compte tenu du fait que l'usage des guêtres n'est pas requis en permanence pendant la pratique des activités sportives, celles-ci sont prévues pour pouvoir être mises en place et enlevées du bas de jambe de l'individu malgré la présence de la chaussure. A cet effet elles sont totalement déployables grâce à la possibilité d'ouverture totale de leur fermeture à glissière dont les deux rubans d'accouplement sont séparables.Taking into account that the use of gaiters is 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.

De manière connue en soi, et également comme enseigné dans le brevet français n° 1 048 160, la fermeture à glissière de telles guêtres comporte deux rubans d'accouplement, un curseur muni d'une tirette, un moyen d'accrochage latéral des rubans entre eux, et un moyen d'arrêt du curseur placé sur les rubans qui marque la limite d'engagement possible desdits rubans entre eux. Afin de permettre la séparation totale et volontaire des rubans, une zone d'engagement-désengagement du curseur est aménagée sur chaque ruban à l'extrémité de la fermeture à glissière munie du moyen d'accrochage latéral qui reste fixe sur l'un des rubans d'accouplement de la sorte, le curseur peut être séparé de l'autre des rubans d'accouplement dans cette zone d'engagement-désengagement en même temps que l'on décroche le moyen d'accrochage latéral de ces derniers. Par ailleurs, la partie inférieure de ces guêtres étant davantage exposée que la partie supérieure aux tiraillements et à l'usure car très proche du sol et/ou tendue sur la tige de la chaussure, la fermeture à glissière est pratiquement toujours montée pour se fermer par déplacement du curseur vers le haut. En fait, le moyen d'accrochage latéral des rubans d'accouplement est placé dans la partie inférieure de la guêtre et le moyen d'arrêt du curseur est placé dans la partie supérieure de cette dernière.In a manner known per se, and also as taught in French Patent No. 1,048,160, 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. In order to allow the total and voluntary separation of the ribbons, 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. Furthermore, the lower part of these gaiters being more exposed than the upper part to tightness and wear because very close to the ground and / or stretched over the upper of the shoe, the zipper is practically always mounted to close by moving the cursor up. In fact, the way side hooking of the coupling tapes is placed in the lower part of the gaiter and the cursor stop means is placed at the top of the latter.

Par cette disposition on diminue le risque d'ouverture intempestive de la fermeture à glissière qui est susceptible de se produire sous l'effet de la tension latérale exercée en permanence par l'enveloppe de la guêtre, et par les moyens d'enserrement lorsqu'elle en est pourvue, sur ses rubans d'accouplement, et ce notamment lorsque le curseur n'est pas stoppé positivement sur ces derniers.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.

Ces guêtres donnent relativement satisfaction dans le sens où elles procurent la protection requise par les utilisateurs, mais présentent cependant l'inconvénient de ne pas garantir la fermeture de la guêtre, car le risque d'ouverture intempestive subsiste quel que soit le sens de montage de la fermeture à glissière, et d'être mal commodes à mettre en place sur le bas de jambe et/ou sur la tige de la chaussure : en effet, pour la mise en place d'une guêtre il est nécessaire, d'une part, de rapprocher les rubans d'accouplement de la fermeture à glissière en tirant sur l'enveloppe de la guêtre et sur le moyen d'enserrement de cette dernière, et d'autre part, tout en maintenant les rubans en vis à vis, de connecter le moyen d'accrochage latéral porté par l'un des rubans sur l'autre ruban en prenant soin d'engager aussitôt le curseur sur les deux rubans ainsi aboutés pour qu'ils ne se décrochent pas sous l'effet de la tension latérale à laquelle ils sont soumis.These 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.

Par ailleurs, la simultanéité nécessaire de ces différentes manoeuvres dans la zone du bas de jambe implique de la part de l'utilisateur qu'il se courbe de manière significative pour atteindre l'extrémité à accrocher de la fermeture à glissière, et qu'il garde cette position courbée, sans perte d'équilibre, le temps d'exécuter ces manoeuvres qui demandent une certaine précision gestuelle, excluant par ailleurs l'usage des gants. Comme cela apparaít clairement, la mise en place d'une telle guêtre revêt donc un aspect pénible, voire rébarbatif, qui est encore aggravé lorsque l'accrochage de la fermeture à glissière doit s'effectuer dans la partie inférieure de la guêtre. C'est également le cas lorsque l'accrochage s'effectue sur le terrain, en présence de la pluie, de la neige, de la glace,...etc, et/ou sous le vent et le froid qui provoquent l'engourdissement.Furthermore, the necessary simultaneity of these different maneuvers in the lower area of leg implies that the user bends significantly to reach the hook end of the zipper, and that it keeps this bent position, without loss balance, the time to execute these maneuvers which require a certain gestural precision, excluding the use of gloves. As is clear, the establishment of such a gaiter therefore takes on a painful, even daunting aspect, which is further aggravated when the attachment of the zipper must be made at the bottom of the gaiter. This is also the case when the attachment is made on the ground, in the presence of rain, snow, ice, ... etc, and / or downwind and cold that cause numbness.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients de manière simple et efficace en permettant l'exécution des différentes manoeuvres de mise en place de la guêtre sur le bas de jambe de manière successive, en évitant notamment d'être contraint de tirer sur l'enveloppe et sur le moyen d'enserrement de la guêtre en même temps qu'il faille connecter le moyen d'accrochage de la fermeture à glissière sur la zone d'engagement-désengagement du curseur sur les rubans d'accouplement de la fermeture. En fait, elle a pour but de permettre une attache rapide de la guêtre en position de fermeture en tenant les rubans d'accouplement de la fermeture à glissière en vis à vis. L'invention a également pour but de garantir le maintien de la guêtre en position fermée sur le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur, et notamment d'empêcher l'ouverture intempestive de la fermeture à glissière. Encore, l'invention vise à permettre le montage de la fermeture à glissière sur la guêtre en plaçant le moyen d'accrochage latéral des rubans d'accouplement dans la partie supérieure de la guêtre, et le moyen d'arrêt du curseur dans la partie inférieure de cette dernière, avec la garantie d'éviter toute ouverture intempestive même si la tension latérale exercée sur les rubans d'accouplement par l'enveloppe de la guêtre et/ou un moyen d'enserrement est très élevée.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. In fact, 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. Again, 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.

Pour atteindre ces buts, la guêtre de protection du bas de jambe d'un utilisateur, susceptible de recouvrir au moins en partie la tige d'une chaussure, se présente sous la forme d'une enveloppe allongée, globalement tubulaire, qui s'ouvre et se ferme sur toute sa longueur à l'aide d'une fermeture à glissière comportant deux rubans d'accouplement, un curseur muni d'une tirette, un moyen d'accrochage latéral des rubans entre eux et un moyen d'arrêt du curseur qui marque la limite d'engagement possible des rubans d'accouplement; le curseur est engageable-désengageable de l'un des rubans d'accouplement à l'extrémité de la fermeture à glissière qui est pourvue du moyen d'accrochage latéral desdits rubans, l'autre extrémité de cette dernière étant dotée du moyen d'arrêt du curseur. La guêtre se caractérise par le fait qu'un dispositif d'attache rapide et de sécurité de fermeture de la guêtre est associé à la fermeture à glissière, à l'une au moins des deux extrémités de celle-ci.To achieve these goals, 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.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques, le dispositif d'attache rapide, situé à proximité de l'une des extrémités de la fermeture à glissière, est constitué de deux éléments d'attache permettant de fermer la guêtre sur le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur en plaçant les deux rubans d'accouplement de la fermeture à glissière dans une position correspondant sensiblement à celle qu'ils occupent lorsqu'ils sont accouplés à l'aide du curseur.According to other characteristics, 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.

Selon un mode de réalisation caractéristique, la fermeture à glissière est montée sur la guêtre avec son moyen d'accrochage latéral situé dans la partie supérieure de cette dernière, tandis que son moyen d'arrêt du curseur est situé dans la partie inférieure où un dispositif d'accrochage rapide lui est associé. L'utilisateur peut ainsi procéder à la manoeuvre d'attache rapide de la guêtre en position de fermeture sans devoir trop se courber et dans un temps relativement court, sans être tenu de passer immédiatement à la manoeuvre d'accrochage latéral des rubans d'accouplement de la fermeture à glissière.According to a characteristic embodiment, 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.

L'invention sera du reste mieux comprise en se reportant à la description qui va suivre en référence aux dessins annexés, et dans laquelle d'autres caractéristiques ressortiront, cette description étant donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif.The invention will moreover be better understood by referring to the description which follows in reference to the accompanying drawings, and in which other characteristics will emerge, this description given by way of nonlimiting example.

Les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues en perspective d'une guêtre équipée de deux dispositifs d'attache rapide, selon un premier mode de réalisation.Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of a gaiter equipped with two fastening devices fast, according to a first embodiment.

Les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues partielles de la guêtre de la figure 1 montrant, schématiquement, la manoeuvre d'attache du dispositif d'attache rapide.Figures 3 and 4 are partial views of the gaiter of Figure 1 showing, schematically, the fastening device attachment maneuver.

La figure 5 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne V-V de la figure 4 montrant l'imbrication des éléments constitutifs du dispositif d'attache rapide.Figure 5 is a sectional view along line V-V of Figure 4 showing the nesting of constituent elements of the quick coupler.

Les figures 6 à 8 illustrent, à titre d'exemple, différents modes de réalisation des éléments constitutifs du dispositif d'attache rapide.Figures 6 to 8 illustrate, by way of example, different embodiments of the elements components of the quick coupler.

La guêtre 1 illustrée aux figures 1 et 2 est constituée d'une enveloppe allongée de forme globalement tubulaire. Une fermeture à glissière 2, comportant deux rubans d'accouplement 3 et 4, un curseur 5 muni d'une tirette 6, un moyen d'accrochage latéral 7 des rubans 3 et 4 et un moyen d'arrêt 8-8', permet d'ouvrir et de fermer la guêtre sur toute sa longueur. A cet effet une zone d'engagement-désengagement 9 du curseur 5 est aménagée sur chaque ruban 3 et 4 à l'extrémité 10 de la fermeture à glissière 2 qui est munie du moyen d'accrochage latéral 7. Ce dernier reste à demeure fixe sur l'un, 3, desdits rubans 3 et 4 afin de retenir le curseur 5 prisonnier de ce même ruban 3, et ainsi de le rendre imperdable. La guêtre 1 étant fermée comme cela est représenté sur la figure 1, il suffit de faire coulisser le curseur 5 jusqu'à cette zone 9 pour désaccoupler totalement les deux rubans 3 et 4, et ensuite de dégager le moyen d'accrochage latéral 7 du ruban 3 ou 4 où il n'est pas fixé pour ouvrir la guêtre tel qu'illustré à la figure 2.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. For this purpose 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. Gaiter 1 being closed as shown in FIG. 1, it suffices to slide the cursor 5 to this zone 9 to completely uncouple the two ribbons 3 and 4, and then to release the lateral hooking means 7 from the tape 3 or 4 where it is not fixed to open the gaiter as illustrated in figure 2.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la guêtre est pourvue d'au moins un dispositif d'attache rapide 12 ou 22 comportant au moins deux éléments d'attache 13-14, 23-24, coopérant entre eux par accrochage. Ce dispositif, 12 ou 22, est associé à la fermeture à glissière 2 à l'une de ses extrémités 10 et 11 dans le but de permettre la mise en place de la guêtre 1 en position de fermeture, sans l'aide ou la mise en oeuvre de la fermeture à glissière 2, et très avantageusement dans le but de tenir les rubans d'accouplement 3 et 4 en vis à vis de sorte qu'ils puissent être aisément connectés entre eux à l'aide du moyen d'accrochage latéral 7, et/ou à l'aide du curseur 5. En fait, la coopération des deux éléments d'attache 13-14 ou 23-24 des dispositifs d'attache rapide 12 et 22 engendre la mise en place des rubans d'accouplement 3 et 4 de la fermeture à glissière 2 dans une position correspondant sensiblement à celle qu'ils occupent lorsqu'ils sont accouplés à l'aide du curseur 5.According to a characteristic of the invention, 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. In fact, 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.

Plus précisément dans cet exemple illustré, la guêtre 1 comporte un dispositif d'attache 22 dans sa partie supérieure 15, et un dispositif d'attache 12 dans sa partie inférieure 16, l'un 22 facilitant l'engagement du moyen d'accrochage latéral 7 des rubans 3 et 4 de la fermeture à glissière 2, et l'autre 12 assurant l'enserrement de la guêtre 1 sur la chaussure 17, et la sécurité de fermeture de la fermeture à glissière 2 en retenant les rubans d'accouplement 3 et 4 en vis à vis.More precisely in this illustrated example, 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.

Dans un tel mode de construction de la guêtre 1, les rubans d'accouplement 3 et 4 de la fermeture à glissière 2 ne sont plus soumis aux tiraillements ou tensions latérales tendant à les écarter l'un de l'autre, que ce soit dans la partie supérieure 15 ou inférieure 16 puisque ce sont les dispositifs d'attache rapide 12 et 22 qui les subissent. Par conséquence, le maintien en position de fermeture de la guêtre 1 est garanti, et les risques d'ouverture intempestive de la fermeture à glissière 2 sont évités.In such a construction method of the gaiter 1, 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.

Afin de faciliter l'accrochage des éléments d'attache 13-14, 23-24, des dispositifs d'attache rapide 12 et 22, des moyens aisément saisissables tels que des languettes 18 leur sont associés. Ainsi, même lorsque la guêtre 1 est pourvue de moyens d'enserrement dans ses parties supérieure 15 et inférieure 16, tels que des bandes de serrage élastiques 19, 20, qui opposent une certaine résistance à l'allongement, l'utilisateur dispose de bonnes prises, utilisables sans problème avec des gants. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, les dispositifs d'attache rapide 12 et 22 sont par ailleurs fixés et/ou situés sur les moyens d'enserrements constitués par les bandes de serrage 19, 20, ouvrables à l'endroit des dispositifs 12 et 22, afin que la tension qu'ils engendrent soit directement reprise au niveau de ces derniers.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. In this exemplary embodiment, 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.

Dans ce mode de réalisation de la guêtre 1, les dispositifs d'attache rapide 12 et 22 mis en oeuvre comportent, respectivement, des éléments d'attache 13-14 et 23-24 qui sont différents mais qui se relient de la même manière, c'est-à-dire par accrochage. Ainsi, le dispositif d'attache rapide 22 comporte comme éléments un crochet 24 et une découpe 23 qui, réalisée dans le prolongement du moyen d'enserrement 19, présente un contour fermé, et qui fait office d'anneau d'accrochage. Concernant le dispositif d'attache rapide 12 illustré plus en détail sur les figures 3, 4 et 5, l'un des éléments d'attache est un bouton 13, et l'autre élément une boutonnière 14 constituée d'une découpe circulaire correspondante au contour du bouton 13. Une entaille 14' débouchante dans la boutonnière 14, et axée sensiblement dans le sens de la tension qu'exerce le moyen d'enserrement 20, est destinée à servir le logement au pied 13' du bouton 13 dès que ce dernier est totalement introduit dans la boutonnière 14 et qu'on relâche la languette 18. Le dispositif d'attache rapide 12 est ainsi retenu en position active de fermeture de la guêtre sous l'effet de la tension exercée par le moyen d'enserrement 20 qui constitue l'équivalent d'un moyen de retenue. Cet exemple de réalisation du dispositif d'accrochage rapide 12 montre le bouton 13 fixé sur la languette 18 qui est destinée à faciliter la manoeuvre d'accrochage dudit dispositif 12. Il est évident qu'un montage inverse, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 6, est possible. L'entaille 14' de la boutonnière est alors également inversée pour profiter de la tension exercée par le moyen d'enserrement 20 afin de retenir en position active le dispositif d'attache rapide 12.In this embodiment of the gaiter 1, 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. Thus, 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. Regarding the quick coupler 12 illustrated in more detail in Figures 3, 4 and 5, 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.

Selon un perfectionnement, une empreinte circulaire 21 de dimension au moins supérieure à celle du bouton 13 est obtenue, de manière concentrique, à l'extrémité de l'entaille 14'. Ainsi, lorsque la languette 18 est relâchée, le pied 13' du bouton 13 se loge au fond de l'entaille 14', et ledit bouton 13 s'emboíte dans l'empreinte 21 dès qu'il arrive en correspondance. Cette empreinte 21 constitue de la sorte également un moyen de retenue en position active du dispositif d'attache rapide 12.According to an improvement, 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.

En figure 7, le dispositif d'attache rapide 22 est similaire à celui décrit en référence à la figure 1, mais, dans cet exemple, est réalisé dans la partie inférieure 16 de la guêtre 1, à l'extrémité 11 de la fermeture à glissière 2 qui est munie du moyen d'arrêt 8, 8', du curseur 5 (non représenté).In FIG. 7, 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).

En figure 8, le dispositif d'attache rapide 32 est constitué comme précédemment d'au moins deux éléments d'attache 33 et 34 se reliant par accrochage, l'élément 33 étant un anneau et celui 34 un crochet. Par contre, pour retenir le dispositif d'attache 32 en position active de fermeture de la guêtre 1, il est fait appel à un crochet 34 dont la partie d'extrémité 34' est élastique et recourbée pour former, en fait, l'équivalent d'une pince élastique. Il s'ensuit que lorsque l'anneau 33 est accroché il ne peut plus se défaire du crochet 34 sans qu'on doive fournir un certain effort au moins supérieur à celui résistant qu'oppose l'extrémité élastique recourbée 34' dudit crochet. Cette extrémité 34' constitue par conséquent l'équivalent d'un moyen de retenue en position active du dispositif d'attache rapide 32.In FIG. 8, 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. On the other hand, to retain the fastening device 32 in the active position for closing the gaiter 1, use is made of 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.

Il est évident que d'autres dispositifs d'attache rapide connus peuvent être mis en oeuvre sur la guêtre, comme par exemple des agrafes à emboítement élastique, des bandes de tissus munies de structures auto-agrippantes,...etc, sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention.It is obvious that other known quick coupling devices can be implemented on the gaiter, such as staples with elastic interlocking, strips of fabric provided with hook-and-loop structures, etc., without thereby departing from the scope of the invention.

Par ailleurs, l'exemple de réalisation de la guêtre 1 qui vient d'être décrit montre la mise en oeuvre de deux dispositifs d'attache rapide, un dans la partie supérieure de la guêtre, et l'autre dans la partie inférieure : selon d'autres réalisations, un seul dispositif d'attache rapide peut évidemment être disposé dans l'une quelconque des parties inférieure et supérieure de la guêtre.Furthermore, 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.

Enfin, le sens de montage de la fermeture à glissière 2, c'est-à-dire avec son moyen d'accrochage latéral 7 situé dans la partie supérieure 15 de la guêtre 1, peut sans problème être inversé.Finally, the mounting direction of the zipper 2, that is to say with its hooking means lateral 7 located in the upper part 15 of the gaiter 1, can easily be reversed.
