Abstract

The sea jacket (1) has its front panels (2, 3) connected by an inner flap (6) and joined by lower (4, 4') and upper (5, 5') fastenings. the jacket is pulled on over the head like a pullover and designed to be worn over an inflatable life jacket with two front buoyancy chambers. The upper fastenings (5, 5') are in the form of press studs or Velcro (RTM) strips, and preferably the latter, so they release automatically when the life jacket is inflated. The lower fastenings are in the form of a sliding clasp fastener.

Description

La présente invention concerne une veste de protection marine. Elle est plus particulièrement adaptée pour être utilisée par dessus un gilet de sauvetage gonflable.The present invention relates to a protective jacket Marine. It is more particularly adapted to be used by above an inflatable life jacket.

Les activités maritimes ou plus généralement aquatiques présentent des risques dont le principal est la noyade. Les personnes soumises à un tel risque sont donc généralement porteuses de gilets de sauvetage et de préférence du type gonflable qui, dégonflés, présentent un faible encombrement et donc une gène réduite et qui peuvent donc être portés d'une manière continue. Ces gilets sont généralement à gonflage automatique, le contact de l'eau déclenchant l'ouverture d'une bouteille de gaz sous pression dans les poumons du gilet. Ces gilets peuvent être simples, c'est à dire comporter simplement les poumons et les sangles destinées à les maintenir, ou encore faire partie d'un ensemble fonctionnel comme décrit dans la demande FR-00/4730 du présent demandeur. Cet ensemble fonctionnel comporte en particulier un dispositif de bretelles de sécurité comportant un gilet gonflable.Maritime or more generally aquatic activities present risks, the main one being drowning. The people subject to such a risk are therefore generally wear life jackets and preferably of the type inflatable which, when deflated, are compact and therefore a reduced gene and which can therefore be carried from a continuously. These vests are generally inflated automatic, the water contact triggering the opening of a pressurized gas cylinder in the lungs of the vest. These vests can be simple, i.e. simply include the lungs and the straps to hold them, or even make part of a functional assembly as described in the request FR-00/4730 of the present applicant. This functional set includes in particular a safety strap device comprising an inflatable vest.

De même dans le cadre de ces activités, les personnes peuvent être soumises à des conditions environnementales ou climatiques défavorables, par exemple froid, vent, embruns... Ces personnes doivent donc se protéger de ces conditions. L'ensemble fonctionnel de la demande FR-00/4730 peut donc être particulièrement effectif à cet égard car il est adapté à un pantalon. Toutefois, il est souvent nécessaire que les personnes soient également mieux protégées au niveau du tronc, voire de la tête. A cette fin, des vestes de protection sont proposées. Le terme veste correspond ici à tout vêtement destiné à protéger le tronc et par exemple une veste proprement dite, un blouson, un anorak, une sur-veste, voire un gilet... Or, si le port d'une veste ne pose pas de problème lorsqu'un gilet de sauvetage qui se trouve dessous est dégonflé, il en va tout autrement lorsque le gilet est gonflé et que la veste est fermée car le thorax de la personne se trouve alors comprimée par les poumons du gilet qui sont contraints à l'intérieur de la veste fermée. La solution pour la personne est alors d'ouvrir la veste pour que les poumons du gilet puissent se développer librement. Cela suppose toutefois que la personne soit consciente et capable d'ouvrir sa veste, dans le cas contraire, la personne pourrait se retrouver étouffée.Similarly in the context of these activities, people may be subject to environmental conditions or unfavorable climates, for example cold, wind, spray ... people should therefore protect themselves from these conditions. All functional of the request FR-00/4730 can therefore be particularly effective in this regard because it is suitable for pants. However, it is often necessary for people to be also better protected at the level of the trunk, even of the head. AT for this purpose, protective jackets are offered. The term jacket corresponds here to any garment intended to protect the trunk and by example a jacket proper, a jacket, an anorak, a over-jacket, even a vest ... Or, if wearing a jacket does not pose problem when a life jacket underneath is deflated, it is quite different when the vest is inflated and the jacket is closed because the person's chest is then compressed by the lungs of the vest which are forced inside of the closed jacket. The solution for the person is then to open the jacket so that the lungs of the vest can develop freely. However, this assumes that the person is aware and able to open his jacket, otherwise, the person could be smothered.

La présente invention propose donc une veste de protection qui évite ces inconvénients. L'invention concerne donc une veste de protection marine comportant deux volets antérieurs, une fermeture sur l'avant destinée à réunir et fermer les deux volets, ladite veste pouvant être portée sur un gilet de sauvetage gonflable comportant deux poumons disposés sur les parties latérales et antérieure du thorax de l'utilisateur.The present invention therefore provides a protective jacket which avoids these disadvantages. The invention therefore relates to a jacket marine protection with two front flaps, one closure on the front intended to join and close the two shutters, said jacket being able to be worn on an inflatable life jacket comprising two lungs arranged on the lateral parts and anterior chest of the user.

Selon l'invention, les deux volets antérieurs sont solidarisés par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce de tissu formant un soufflet, ladite veste devant être enfilée à la manière d'un pull-over que l'on passe par-dessus la tête pour être mise en place, ledit soufflet étant disposé vers l'intérieur par rapport à la fermeture afin de laisser accessible à l'extérieur la fermeture,
et en ce que la fermeture comporte deux moyens de fermeture, le premier moyen présentant une résistance à l'ouverture sous contrainte d'écartement des volets inférieure à celle du second moyen,
le premier moyen de fermeture étant disposé vers la partie supérieure de la fermeture et le second moyen de fermeture étant disposé vers la partie inférieure de la fermeture, le second moyen de fermeture permettant la fermeture jusqu'à une hauteur correspondant sensiblement à l'extrémité inférieure du gilet de sauvetage afin d'éviter une compression de l'utilisateur lorsque le gilet est gonflé et que le premier moyen est ouvert et que le second moyen fermé jusqu'à son extrémité supérieure.
According to the invention, the two front flaps are secured by means of a piece of fabric forming a bellows, said jacket to be donned in the manner of a sweater that is passed over the head to be put in place, said bellows being disposed inwardly relative to the closure so as to leave the closure accessible to the outside,
and in that the closure comprises two closure means, the first means having a resistance to opening under the spacing constraint of the flaps less than that of the second means,
the first closure means being disposed towards the upper part of the closure and the second closure means being disposed towards the lower part of the closure, the second closure means allowing the closure to a height corresponding substantially to the lower end of the life jacket to avoid compression of the user when the life jacket is inflated and the first means is open and the second means closed to its upper end.

Dans divers modes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, les moyens suivants pouvant être utilisés seuls ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniquement possibles, sont mis en oeuvre:

  • la résistance à l'ouverture du premier moyen est telle que l'ouverture se fait spontanément lors du gonflement du gilet,
  • le premier moyen de fermeture est choisi parmi les attaches VELCRO® ou boutons pression,
  • le premier moyen de fermeture est de préférence en VELCRO®,
  • la résistance à l'ouverture est fonction du type et la surface de contact des attaches VELCRO® ou le type et le nombre de boutons pression,
  • dans le cas où le premier moyen de fermeture est en VELCRO® une bande continue est mise en oeuvre sur chacun des volets,
  • dans le cas où le premier moyen de fermeture est en VELCRO® une bande discontinue est mise en oeuvre sur chacun des volets afin de pouvoir régler la hauteur maximale de fermeture dudit premier moyen,
  • le second moyen de fermeture est choisi parmi les fermetures à glissière, les attaches VELCRO® ou boutons pression,
  • le second moyen de fermeture est de préférence une fermeture à glissière,
  • le premier moyen de fermeture et le second moyen de fermeture se chevauchent partiellement,
  • la veste est réalisée en une matière étanche à au moins l'eau liquide,
  • le soufflet est réalisé en une matière étanche à au moins l'eau liquide,
  • la veste comporte un rabat antérieur destiné à venir en recouvrement de la fermeture vers l'extérieur,
  • la veste comporte une capuche de protection.
In various embodiments of the invention, the following means can be used alone or in all their technically possible combinations, are used:
  • the resistance to the opening of the first means is such that the opening occurs spontaneously when the vest is inflated,
  • the first closing means is chosen from VELCRO® fasteners or snaps,
  • the first closure means is preferably made of VELCRO®,
  • the resistance to opening depends on the type and the contact surface of the VELCRO® fasteners or the type and number of snaps,
  • in the case where the first closure means is made of VELCRO®, a continuous strip is used on each of the flaps,
  • in the case where the first closing means is made of VELCRO® a discontinuous strip is used on each of the flaps in order to be able to adjust the maximum closing height of said first means,
  • the second closure means is chosen from zippers, VELCRO® fasteners or snaps,
  • the second closure means is preferably a zipper,
  • the first closure means and the second closure means partially overlap,
  • the jacket is made of a material impervious to at least liquid water,
  • the bellows is made of a material impervious to at least liquid water,
  • the jacket has a front flap intended to cover the closure towards the outside,
  • the jacket has a protective hood.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre où:

  • la Figure 1 une veste selon l'invention complètement ouverte;
  • la Figure 2 une veste selon l'invention partiellement ouverte;
  • la Figure 3 une veste selon l'invention fermée sur un utilisateur, gilet de sauvetage dégonflé;
  • la Figure 4 une veste selon l'invention fermée sur un utilisateur après gonflage du gilet de sauvetage.
  • The present invention will be better understood on reading an example of implementation where:
  • Figure 1 a jacket according to the invention completely open;
  • Figure 2 a jacket according to the invention partially open;
  • Figure 3 a jacket according to the invention closed on a user, deflated life jacket;
  • Figure 4 a jacket according to the invention closed on a user after inflating the life jacket.
  • Sur la figure 1, la veste 1 comporte deux volets 2 et 3 destinés à être disposés sur les parties antéro-latérales de l'utilisateur. Les deux volets sont réunis par un soufflet 6, qui, dans ce mode de réalisation est une pièce de tissu rapportée qui est fixée définitivement sur les deux volets 2,3, sensiblement parallèlement à leurs bords médians. La fixation peut résulter d'une couture, d'un collage ou d'une soudure par tout moyen connu dont ultrasons thermiques, haute fréquence ... Dans d'autres modes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention non représentés, le soufflet 6 est un prolongement d'un des deux volets 2 ou 3 et qui est fixé sur le volet opposé ou le soufflet 6 correspond à la réunion et fixation médiane de deux prolongements partant chacun d'un volet 2, 3. La veste 1 comporte en outre une fermeture destinée à la fermer dans un plan sensiblement médian vers l'avant de l'utilisateur et formée de deux moyens de fermeture. Le premier moyen de fermeture, bandes 5,5' continues de VELCRO® dans cet exemple est disposé vers le haut de la veste 1. Le second moyen de fermeture, fermeture à glissière 4,4' dans cet exemple, est disposé vers le bas de la veste 1. La veste comporte également dans cet exemple, un rabat 9, une bande 7 pour fermeture dans le cou et une capuche 8 Sur la figure 1, la veste est étendue au maximum, c'est à dire que le soufflet 6 qui est complètement étiré permet de gagner environ 35 cm au niveau du thorax et environ 25 cm au niveau de l'abdomen par rapport à la circonférence quant la veste est fermée par sa fermeture. Ces chiffres sont évidemment fonction de gammes de tailles définies en fonction des utilisateurs qui peuvent aussi bien être des enfants que des adultes. Par ailleurs, la différence entre la circonférence entre le thorax et l'abdomen est indicatif et on envisage également que les circonférences soient égales. Les dimensions et la forme cintrée ou non de la veste et/ou la forme du soufflet sera/seront donc choisies en conséquence. Le soufflet 6 est disposé intérieurement vers l'utilisateur par rapport à la fermeture. Dans cet exemple de mise en oeuvre, un rabat de protection 10 est disposé entre le moyen 4' du second moyen de fermeture et le soufflet 6.In Figure 1, the jacket 1 has two flaps 2 and 3 intended to be placed on the anterolateral parts of the user. The two flaps are joined by a bellows 6, which, in this embodiment is an attached piece of fabric which is permanently fixed on the two flaps 2,3, substantially parallel to their median edges. The fixation can result from a sewing, bonding or welding by any known means including thermal ultrasound, high frequency ... In other modes of implementation of the invention not shown, the bellows 6 is a extension of one of the two flaps 2 or 3 and which is fixed on the opposite flap or the bellows 6 corresponds to the assembly and fixing median of two extensions each starting from a part 2, 3. The jacket 1 also has a closure for closing it in a substantially median plane towards the front of the user and formed two closing means. The first means of closure, 5.5 'continuous strips of VELCRO® in this example is arranged towards the top of the jacket 1. The second means of closure, 4.4 'zipper in this example, is arranged downwards of jacket 1. In this example, the jacket also has a flap 9, a band 7 for closure in the neck and a hood 8 In Figure 1, the jacket is extended to the maximum, i.e. the bellows 6 which is fully stretched saves approximately 35 cm at the level of the thorax and approximately 25 cm at the level of the abdomen relative to the circumference when the jacket is closed by its closure. These figures are obviously a function of size ranges defined according to the users who can be children as well as adults. In addition, the difference between the circumference between the thorax and the abdomen is indicative and it is also envisaged that the circumferences are equal. The dimensions and the curved shape or not of the jacket and / or the shape of the bellows will be / will therefore be chosen accordingly. The bellows 6 is disposed internally towards the user with respect to the closure. In this example of implementation, a flap of protection 10 is disposed between the means 4 'of the second means of closure and bellows 6.

    Sur la Figure 2, les volets 2, 3 de la veste 1 ont été rapprochés suffisamment pour que la fermeture puisse être réalisée. Dans une telle configuration, le soufflet 6 est replié à l'intérieur de la veste sous les volets 2, 3. Des moyens de fermeture du type VELCRO® sont mis en oeuvre au niveau de la bande de cou pour permettre sa fermeture. D'autres types de fermeture sont envisagées. Toutefois la fermeture de bande de cou doit avoir la même caractéristique de résistance que le premier moyen de fermeture afin de pouvoir être ouvert facilement et/ou automatiquement lors du gonflage du gilet de sauvetage.In Figure 2, flaps 2, 3 of jacket 1 have been close enough so that the closure can be carried out. In such a configuration, the bellows 6 is folded back inside the jacket under the flaps 2, 3. Means of VELCRO® type closures are implemented at the neck band to allow its closure. Other types of closure are being considered. However the neck band closure must have the same resistance characteristic as the first closing means so that it can be opened easily and / or automatically when the life jacket is inflated.

    Sur la Figure 3, la veste 1 a été enfilée par la tête par un utilisateur et a été fermée. Le premier et le second moyen de fermeture sont fermés et non visible sur cette figure car recouverts par le rabat 9. La bande de cou 7 est également fermée. Sur cette Figure, l'utilisateur porte un gilet de sauvetage non gonflé sous sa veste.In Figure 3, jacket 1 was pulled over the head by a user and was closed. The first and second means of closure are closed and not visible in this figure because covered by the flap 9. The neck band 7 is also closed. On this Figure, the user is wearing an uninflated life jacket under his jacket.

    Sur la figure 4, le gilet de l'utilisateur de la figure 3 s'est gonflé et la partie haute de la veste correspondant au premier moyen de fermeture est ouverte. L'ouverture du premier moyen est obtenue manuellement, l'utilisateur manoeuvrant la fermeture ou, de préférence, automatiquement, la résistance à l'ouverture du premier moyen et de la bande de cou étant vaincue par la pression des poumons du gilet qui se gonfle. Sur la Figure 4 on peut voir que le second moyen de fermeture est aussi partiellement ouvert à sa partie supérieure. Dans d'autres modes de mise en oeuvre, la position de l'extrémité supérieure du second moyen de fermeture est telle que cette ouverture partielle n'est pas nécessaire.In Figure 4, the vest of the user in Figure 3 has swollen and the upper part of the jacket corresponding to the first closing means is open. The opening of the first plea is obtained manually, the user operating the closure or, preferably, automatically, the resistance to opening the first plea and the neck band being defeated by pressure from the lungs of the swelling vest. In Figure 4 we can see that the second closing means is also partially open to its upper part. In other embodiments, the position of the upper end of the second closure means is such that this partial opening is not necessary.

    D'autre part, bien que préférentiellement l'extrémité supérieure du second moyen de fermeture soit située sensiblement à la hauteur de l'extrémité inférieure du gilet, il est envisagé que soit le second moyen remonte légèrement plus haut, soit reste légèrement plus bas sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. La caractéristique essentielle étant que l'utilisateur ne soit pas comprimé par le gilet gonflé du fait de la présence d'un second moyen totalement ou partiellement fermé.On the other hand, although preferably the end upper of the second closure means is located substantially at the level of the lower end of the vest, it is envisaged that either the second plea goes slightly higher, or remains slightly lower without departing from the scope of the invention. The essential characteristic being that the user is not compressed by the swollen vest due to the presence of a second medium totally or partially closed.

    Les matières mises en oeuvre pour la confection de la veste et du soufflet 6 sont de préférence des tissus étanches à l'eau liquide et coupe vent. On envisage également l'utilisation de tissu qui laisse passer la vapeur d'eau. Les tissus à base de matières synthétiques peuvent être cousus, collés et/ou soudés.The materials used to make the jacket and bellows 6 are preferably waterproof fabrics liquid and windproof. We are also considering the use of fabric which lets water vapor through. Materials-based fabrics synthetics can be sewn, glued and / or welded.

    Le vêtement peut être réalisé dans un tissu enduit avec un support en polyamide, polyester ou toutes autres matières se prêtant à la technique de l'enduction, du calandrage ou de l'imprégnation ou d'un contre-collage de membrane. Ces enductions peuvent être en PVC, PU (polyuréthanne), nitrile ou toutes autres matières pouvant servir à étanchéifier un support textile. Ce vêtement pourra également être réalisé dans un complexe respirant, multicouches, le matériau employé pourra être utilisé seul ou doublé.The garment can be made of a fabric coated with a support in polyamide, polyester or any other material lending to the technique of coating, calendering or impregnation or laminating of membrane. These coatings can be PVC, PU (polyurethane), nitrile or all other materials which can be used to seal a support textile. This garment can also be made in a breathable complex, multilayer, the material used can be used alone or doubled.

    Ces exemples de mise en oeuvre sont purement indicatifs et il est possible de combiner d'autres moyens classiques aux moyens de la présente invention sans sortir de son cadre. En particulier des tissus élastiques peuvent éventuellement être utilisés, d'autres rabats de protection contre l'eau et le vent mis en oeuvre, les bandes 5,5' de VELCRO® descendre jusqu'en bas de la veste 1 ou le rabat 9 comporter un moyen de fermeture d'un tel type Velcro® ou bouton pression à sa partie inférieure. La veste peut également être plus ou moins longue et, dans le cas de manches, les extrémités des manches comporter des manchons élastiques de protection contre l'eau et le vent.These examples of implementation are purely indicative and it is possible to combine other conventional means with the means of the present invention without departing from its scope. In particular elastic fabrics can optionally be used, others protective flaps against water and wind used, 5.5 'VELCRO® bands go down to the bottom of the jacket 1 or the flap 9 include a closure means of such a Velcro® type or press button at the bottom. The jacket can also be more or less long and, in the case of sleeves, the sleeve ends have elastic sleeves protection against water and wind.
