Description

ETUI ETANCHE EN PARTICULIER A L'EAU DE MER S'OUVRANT PAR SIMPLE PRESSION SUR DEUX POINTS OPPOSÉS WATERPROOF CASE ESPECIALLY WITH SEA WATER OPENING BY SIMPLE PRESSURE ON TWO OPPOSITE POINTS
La présente invention a pour objet un étui étanche, en particulier à 1 'eau de mer, s ' ouvrant par simple pression sur deux points opposés .The present invention relates to a waterproof case, in particular to sea water, opening by simple pressure on two opposite points.
Il a pour objet la protection de divers objets tels que pièces de monnaie, billets de banque, clés, papiers d'identité, contre l'eau, la transpiration, le sable, la poussière, etc.Its purpose is the protection of various objects such as coins, banknotes, keys, identity papers, against water, perspiration, sand, dust, etc.
Il est en particulier destiné aux baigneurs et leur permet de conserver sur eux leurs objets de valeur lorsqu'ils se livrent à des ébats nautiques tels que natation, plongeon, planche à voile ou autre.It is particularly intended for swimmers and allows them to keep their valuables on them when they engage in nautical antics such as swimming, diving, windsurfing or other.
Il existe à ce jour un certain nombre de dispositifs destinés à protéger des objets contre l'eau de mer. On connaît en particulier des ceintures comportant un ou plusieurs compartiments étanches, mais il s 'agit de systèmes relativement onéreux et encombrant dont l'usage peut difficilement se généraliser.To date there are a number of devices intended to protect objects against sea water. Belts are known in particular comprising one or more watertight compartments, but these are relatively expensive and bulky systems whose use can hardly be generalized.
Les brevets N° FR 2 513 864 et N° FR 2 517 183, déposés par l'auteur de la demande, font état d'un étui souple étanche de forme aplatie comportant sur l'une de ses faces une découpe dans laquelle s ' ajuste un couvercle rigide grâce à une gorge ménagée soit à la périphérie de cette découpe, soit à la périphérie du couvercle.The patents N ° FR 2,513,864 and N ° FR 2,517,183, filed by the author of the application, disclose a flexible waterproof case of flattened shape comprising on one of its faces a cutout in which s adjusts a rigid cover with a groove made either at the periphery of this cutout, or at the periphery of the cover.
La nécessité de devoir insérer le couvercle dans la gorge de l'étui, ou les bords de la découpe dans celle du couvercle rend les opérations d'ouverture et de fermeture malaisées et il peut arriver que le couvercle soit égaré. En outre, ce genre de dispositif étant surtout destiné à être utilisé sur la plage, des grains de sable risquent de se loger dans les gorges en compromettant l'étanchéité de l'ensemble.The necessity of having to insert the cover into the groove of the case, or the edges of the cut-out in that of the cover makes the opening and closing operations difficult and it can happen that the cover is lost. In addition, this kind of device being especially intended to be used on the beach, grains of sand risk being lodged in the grooves by compromising the tightness of the whole.
Le dispositif selon la présente invention a pour objectif de remédier à cet état des choses en permettant la réalisation d'un étui parfaitement étanche et d'un coût de fabrication peu élevé pouvant se placer dans la poche se suspendre au cou ou s'accrocher sur tout support vestimentaire, afin de permettre à l'usager de ne pas se séparer de ses billets ou papiers lorsqu'il se baigne.The device according to the present invention aims to remedy this state of affairs by allowing the realization of a perfectly waterproof case and a low manufacturing cost that can be placed in the pocket hanging on the neck or hanging on any clothing medium, in order to allow the user not to be separated from his tickets or papers when he bathes.
Il est constitué d'une pochette aplatie réalisée de préférence en une seule pièce en matière synthétique et comportant sur la face interne des bords de l'ouverture au moins un joint compressible collé ou scellé qui est plaqué contre le second joint ou contre le bord opposé de manière à rendre la pochette parfaitement étanche lorsqu ' aucune pression n'est exercée, les parois du dispositif étant agencés pour qu'une pression sur les extrémités latérales de ces bords provoquant leur écârtement en permettant l'accès à l'intérieur du dispositif.It consists of a flattened pouch, preferably made in a single piece of synthetic material and comprising on the internal face of the edges of the opening at least one compressible adhesive or glued seal which is pressed against the second seal or against the opposite edge. so as to make the pouch perfectly watertight when no pressure is exerted, the walls of the device being arranged so that a pressure on the lateral ends of these edges causing them to break apart allowing access to the interior of the device.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention : les figures 1 et 2 représentent respectivement en perspective axonométrique, l'étui ouvert et fermé, la figure 3 est une coupe verticale transversale suivant les flèches A-A' de la figure 2, la figure 4 est une coupe partielle agrandie montrant un étui comportant des joints d'étanchéité striés longitudinalement, la figure 5 représente dans les mêmes conditions un étui équipé de lames d'acier destinées à augmenter la pression de fermeture, la figure 6 représente une coupe partielle agrandie montrant un étui comportant des joints d'étanchéité selon une géométrie destinés à réaliser un effet de ventouse entre les deux bords d'ouverture, et la figure 7 représente une coupe partielle agrandie montrant un étui comportant un système de verrouillage destinés à solidariser les deux bords d'ouverture.In the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples of embodiments of the subject of the invention: FIGS. 1 and 2 represent respectively in axonometric perspective, the open and closed case, FIG. 3 is a section transverse vertical according to the arrows AA ′ in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial section showing a case comprising longitudinally striated seals, FIG. 5 represents, under the same conditions, a case equipped with steel blades intended to increase the closing pressure, FIG. 6 represents an enlarged partial section showing a case comprising seals according to a geometry intended to achieve an effect of suction cup between the two opening edges, and Figure 7 shows an enlarged partial section showing a case comprising a locking system intended to secure the two opening edges.
Le dispositif, figures 1 à 7, est constitué d'un étui 1 formant une pochette aplatie de forme générale rectangulaire, fermée sur trois côtés 2, 3, 4 et dont les bords 5, 6 du quatrième côté peuvent se rapprocher pour assurer une fermeture étanche, ou s'écarter pour permettre de remplir ou vider la pochette.The device, Figures 1 to 7, consists of a case 1 forming a flattened pocket of generally rectangular shape, closed on three sides 2, 3, 4 and whose edges 5, 6 of the fourth side can be brought together to ensure closure waterproof, or move away to allow filling or emptying the pouch.
L'étui 1 est fabriqué en matériau semi-rigide ou souple, et agencé de telle manière que les bords 5, 6 plaquent l'un contre l'autre lorsque aucun effort n'est exercé (figure 1), une pression effectuée suivant les flèches P-P' sur les extrémités latérales de ces bords provoquant leur déformation en arcs de cercle et un écartement suffisant pour permettre l'accès au contenu du dispositif ( figure 2 ) .The case 1 is made of semi-rigid or flexible material, and arranged in such a way that the edges 5, 6 press against each other when no effort is exerted (FIG. 1), a pressure applied according to the arrows PP 'on the lateral ends of these edges causing them to deform into arcs of a circle and sufficient spacing to allow access to the content of the device (FIG. 2).
Ce dernier est de préférence réalisé en une seule pièce dans un matériau résistant à l'eau de mer, tel que matière synthétique injectée ou thermoformée par soufflage, ou encore mise en œuvre par toute technique permettant d'obtenir le même résultat. Au moins l'une des faces internes des bords 5, 6 du quatrième côté est revêtue d'un joint 7, 8 compressible, par exemple en mousse d'élastomère, déterminés de façon à ce que l'étui soit parfaitement étanche au repos, lorsque aucune pression n'est exercée sur les extrémités latérales des bords.The latter is preferably made in one piece in a material resistant to seawater, such as synthetic material injected or thermoformed by blowing, or else implemented by any technique allowing the same result to be obtained. At least one of the internal faces of the edges 5, 6 of the fourth side is coated with a compressible seal 7, 8, for example made of elastomer foam, determined so that the case is perfectly sealed at rest, when no pressure is exerted on the lateral ends of the edges.
Le ou les joints 7, 8 peuvent être fixés par collage, ou par thermosoudage lors de la fabrication de l'étui 1. Ils pourront avoir une section rectangulaire ou présenter une surface interne striée longitudinalement, ce qui peut améliorer 1 'étanchéité du système ( figure 4 ) .The joint (s) 7, 8 can be fixed by gluing, or by heat sealing during the manufacture of the case 1. They may have a rectangular section or have an internal surface striated longitudinally, which can improve the sealing of the system ( figure 4).
Afin de présenter une rigidité suffisante pour garantir 1 'étanchéité de 1 'ensemble, les bords 5, 6 pourront avantageusement présenter une épaisseur plus forte que celle des parois 9, 10 de la pochette 1. Selon une variante d'exécution la force de fermeture est obtenue grâce à des lames d'acier 11, 12 incorporées dans les parois 9, 10 de l'étui 1, par exemple entre ces parois et les joints 7, 8 d'étanchéité. Cette disposition permet d'utiliser un matériau souple pour la fabrication de la pochette (figure 5 ) .In order to have sufficient rigidity to guarantee the tightness of the assembly, the edges 5, 6 may advantageously have a thickness greater than that of the walls 9, 10 of the pocket 1. According to an alternative embodiment, the closing force is obtained by means of steel blades 11, 12 incorporated in the walls 9, 10 of the case 1, for example between these walls and the seals 7, 8. This arrangement allows the use of a flexible material for the manufacture of the pouch (Figure 5).
Une bride 13 pourra être prévue sur l'une des faces externes du dispositif, dans laquelle on peut passer une ceinture afin d'en fixer l'étui à la taille (figure 3). De même, les côtés de la pochette pourront comporter des œillets 14 susceptibles de recevoir un cordon ou une chaînette se passant au cou ou permettant de suspendre l'étui 1 (figure 1).A strap 13 may be provided on one of the external faces of the device, in which a belt can be passed in order to fix the case at the waist (FIG. 3). Likewise, the sides of the pouch may include eyelets 14 capable of receiving a cord or a chain running around the neck or allowing the case 1 to be suspended (FIG. 1).
Selon une variante d'exécution la force de maintien de fermeture est obtenue grâce à un système de verrouillage 15, venant solidariser les deux bords d 'ouverture de la pochette (figure 7 ) . Grâce à sa simplicité, à sa facilité d'utilisation et à son faible coût de revient, le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit se prête particulièrement bien à la réalisation de porte-monnaie, de porte-caartes pouvant être utilisés en tous lieux et en toutes circonstances et en particulier sur la plage.According to an alternative embodiment, the closing holding force is obtained by means of a locking system 15, joining the two opening edges of the pouch (FIG. 7). Thanks to its simplicity, its ease of use and its low cost, the device which has just been described lends itself particularly well to the production of purses, of card holders which can be used in all places and in all circumstances and in particular on the beach.
Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires. The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained by similar devices.
