Abstract

The invention relates to a flexible container with a sealable closure. The inventive container is comprised of an envelope (1) which has impermeable walls and which is open towards the upper part thereof and comprises two rigid parallel bars (6, 7) which can fit tightly around the edges (3, 4) of the opening (2) in order to seal said opening, whereby at least one of said bars is fixed to a closure flap (5) of said envelope and means for locking in a tight position are disposed on both ends of said bars. The invention is specifically aimed at bathers who wish to keep their valuables with them when they become involved in nautical activities such as swimming, diving, windsurfing etc. but can also be applied on a widespread basis in a number of fields whenever a sealed envelope which can be opened and closed as often as possible is required.

Description

CONTENANT SOUPLE A FERMETURE POUVANT ETRE RENDUE ÉTANCHE FLEXIBLE CONTAINER WITH CLOSURE WHICH CAN BE SEALED
La présente invention a pour objet un contenant souple à fermeture pouvant être rendue étanche.The present invention relates to a flexible container with closure which can be made waterproof.
II est destiné en particulier aux baigneurs désirant conserver sur eux leurs objets de valeur lorsqu'ils se livrent à des ébats nautiques tels que natation, plongeon, planche à voile ou autres, mais peut trouver de très nombreuses applications, dans de nombreux domaines, chaque fois que l'on a besoin d'une enveloppe étanche pouvant être ouverte et refermée aussi souvent qu'on le souhaite.It is intended in particular for swimmers wishing to keep their valuables on them when they engage in nautical antics such as swimming, diving, windsurfing or other, but can find very many applications, in many fields, each whenever you need a waterproof envelope that can be opened and closed as often as desired.
Il existe à ce jour un grand nombre de de dispositifs destinés à protéger des objets contre l'eau. 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 large number of devices intended to protect objects against water. Belts are known in particular comprising one or more sealed 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 présente 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.Patents N ° FR 2,513,864 and N ° FR 2,517,183, filed by the author of the present 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 formed either at the periphery of this cut, 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'étanc héité de l'ensemble. Un autre brevet, déposé par le même inventeur sous le numéro FR 2 760 949 décrit un étui aplati étanche, en particulier à l'eau de mer, s'ouvrant par simple pression sur les extrémités latérales des bords provoquant leur écartement, ayant 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, et comportant des joints compressibles disposés sur la face interne un des bords de l'ouverture agencés de manière à rendre ledit étui parfaitement étanche lorsqu'aucune pression n'est exercée, des lames d'acier assurant la force de fermeture étant incorporées entre les parois de l'étui et les joints. Le principe utilisé ne permet cependant de réaliser que des pochettes de petites dimensions ce qui limite considérablement le champ d'application de ce système.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 are likely to be lodged in the throats by compromising the tightness héité of the unit. Another patent, filed by the same inventor under the number FR 2 760 949 describes a flattened waterproof case, in particular with sea water, opening by simple pressure on the lateral ends of the edges causing their separation, having for object the protection of various objects such as coins, banknotes, keys, identity papers, against water, perspiration, sand, dust, etc., and comprising compressible seals arranged on the internal face one of the edges of the opening arranged so as to make said case perfectly sealed when no pressure is exerted, steel blades ensuring the closing force being incorporated between the walls of the case and the seals. The principle used, however, allows only small pockets which considerably limits the scope of this system.
L'un des objectifs de la présente invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient. Elle permet en effet de réaliser des sacs ou des poches de tous types et de toutes dimensions à fermeture parfaitement étanche.One of the objectives of the present invention is to remedy this drawback. It makes it possible to produce bags or pockets of all types and of all dimensions with perfectly waterproof closure.
Elle est constituée d'une enveloppe à parois imperméables ouverte à sa partie supérieure et comportant deux barres rigides parallèles pouvant enserrer les bords de l'ouverture pour la rendre étanche, au moins l'une de ces barre étant fixé sur un rabat de fermeture de l'enveloppe, des moyens de verrouillage en position serrées étant disposés aux deux extrémités de ces barres.It consists of an envelope with impermeable walls open at its upper part and comprising two parallel rigid bars which can grip the edges of the opening to make it watertight, at least one of these bars being fixed on a closure flap of the casing, means for locking in the tight position being arranged at the two ends of these bars.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention: la figure 1 représente en perspective isométrique une poche ouverte de comportant qu'un seul joint d'étanchéité, la figure 2 montre la même poche, fermée, vue en bout, suivant la flèche F1 de la figure précédente, la figure 3 est une coupe transversale verticale d'une poche identique à celle de la figure 1 , mais comportant deux joints d'étanchéité, la figure 4 montre dans les mêmes conditions la poche de la figure 3 fermée, la figure 5 est un agrandissement du détail D1 de la figure 4 et la figure 6 représente vu d'en haut, un exemple de système de verrouillage de la fermeture.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples of embodiments of the subject of the invention: FIG. 1 represents in isometric perspective an open pocket comprising only one seal, FIG. 2 shows the same pocket, closed, end view, along arrow F1 of the previous figure, Figure 3 is a vertical cross section of a pocket identical to that of Figure 1, but having two seals, Figure 4 shows under the same conditions the pocket of Figure 3 closed, Figure 5 is an enlargement of the detail D1 of Figure 4 and FIG. 6 represents seen from above, an example of a locking locking system.
Le dispositif, figures 1 à 6, est constitué d'une enveloppe 1 comoportant une ouverture haute formée de deux bords réunis à leurs extrémités, un bord avant 3 et un bord arrière 4, cette ouverture pouvant être fermée au moyen d'un rabat 5 fixé sur la paroi arrère de l'enveloppe.The device, FIGS. 1 to 6, consists of an envelope 1 having a high opening formed by two edges joined at their ends, a front edge 3 and a rear edge 4, this opening being able to be closed by means of a flap 5 fixed on the rear wall of the enclosure.
L'ouverture peut être fermée de façon étanche au moyen de deux barres parallèles 6, 7 rigides, en métal ou plastique renforcé, agencées pour pouvoir comprimer l'un contre l'autre les bords 3, 4. La barre avant 6 est mobile et fixée par tous moyen adéquat sur la face interne du rabat 5, alors que la barre arrière 7 peut être fixée soit sur le rabat, soit sur la face arrière externe de la paroi de l'enveloppe 1. Lorsque le rabat 5 est relevé, la barre avant 6 est écartée de la barre arrière et libère l'ouverture permettant l'accès à l'intérieur du dispositif. Lorsqu'il est rabattu, la barre avant vient se positionner contre le bord avant 3 de l'ouverture, en face de la barre arrière 7. L'étanchéité est obtenue en serrant manuellement les deux barres l'une contre l'autre et en les maintenant dans cette position grâce à des éléments de verrouillage disposés aux extrémités de ces barres. A titre d'exemple, ces éléments peuvent être constitués de languette pliables 8 fixées au rabat 5 et pourvues de découpes emprisonnant les extrémités des barres 6, 7. Ils peuvent aussi consister en ergots 10 élastiques solidaires de l'une des barres et s'enclique- tant sur la seconde lorsqu'elle est suffisamment rapprochée, l'ouverture s'effectuant en appuyant sur l'ergot pour l'écarter de l'extrémité de la barre (flèche F2, figure 6). Tout autre système peut être utilisé dans la mesure ou il rempli les mêmes fonctions. On pourra en particulier utiliser un dispositif à serrure.The opening can be closed in a sealed manner by means of two parallel rigid bars 6, 7, of metal or reinforced plastic, arranged so as to be able to compress the edges 3, 4 against each other. The front bar 6 is movable and fixed by any suitable means on the internal face of the flap 5, while the rear bar 7 can be fixed either on the flap or on the external rear face of the wall of the envelope 1. When the flap 5 is raised, the front bar 6 is moved away from the rear bar and frees the opening allowing access to the interior of the device. When it is folded down, the front bar is positioned against the front edge 3 of the opening, opposite the rear bar 7. The seal is obtained by manually tightening the two bars against each other and keeping them in this position thanks to locking elements arranged at the ends of these bars. By way of example, these elements may consist of foldable tongues 8 fixed to the flap 5 and provided with cutouts trapping the ends of the bars 6, 7. They may also consist of elastic lugs 10 integral with one of the bars and s' snapping onto the second when it is close enough, the opening is effected by pressing on the lug to move it away from the end of the bar (arrow F2, figure 6). Any other system can be used as long as it performs the same functions. We can in particular use a lock device.
La paroi de l'enveloppe 1 peut être fabriquée en tous matériaux, mais on utilisera de préférence une matière étanche telle que les plastiques souples, le caoutchouc ou l'élastomère. Lorsque la texture de la paroi de l'enveloppe ne permet pas d'obtenir une bonne étanchéité, il pourra être prévu sur la face interne des bords de l'ouverture 2 au moins un joint 10 compressible collé ou scellé, qui est plaqué un contre le second joint ou contre le bord opposé lors de la fermeture de l'enveloppe.The wall of the envelope 1 can be made of any material, but preferably a waterproof material such as flexible plastics, rubber or elastomer will be used. When the texture of the wall of the envelope does not make it possible to obtain a good seal, it may be provided on the internal face of the edges of the opening 2 at least one compressible seal 10 glued or sealed, which is pressed one against the second seal or against the opposite edge when the envelope is closed.
Pour les réalisations de grande dimension, les bords 3, 4 de l'enveloppe 1 pourront être raidis au moyen de lames métalliques ou en matière synthétique.For large-scale constructions, the edges 3, 4 of the casing 1 can be stiffened by means of metal or plastic blades.
Le contenant objet de l'invention peut se présenter sous de nombreuses formes et dimensions, du porte-monnaie au sac de marin, en passant par le sac à main, de sac à dos, le cartable. Il peut être utilisé pour réaliser des poches étanches sur des sacs eux-mêmes étanches ou non. il pourra comporter des soufflets latéraux ou être pourvu d'une double paroi remplie d'air ou de gaz rendant le dispositif flottant.The container which is the subject of the invention can be in many forms and dimensions, from the purse to the duffel bag, passing through the handbag, backpack and school bag. It can be used to make waterproof pockets on bags which are themselves waterproof or not. it may include lateral bellows or be provided with a double wall filled with air or gas making the device floating.
Il est à noter que l'enveloppe peut être utilisée, selon les besoins, avec ou sans étanchéité, selon que l'on met ou non en service les moyens de verrouillage 8, 9.It should be noted that the envelope can be used, as required, with or without sealing, depending on whether or not the locking means 8, 9 are put into service.
Les barres 6, 7 peuvent éventuellement être montées sur un système de charnières ou de bras articulés garantissant une position correcte avant serrage. Cette disposition permet, pour certaines variantes d'exécution, de supprimer le rabat 5, les moyens de verrouillage (8, 9) étant dans ce cas fixés sur ces charnières ou bras articulés.The bars 6, 7 can possibly be mounted on a system of hinges or articulated arms guaranteeing a correct position before tightening. This arrangement allows, for certain alternative embodiments, to remove the flap 5, the locking means (8, 9) being in this case fixed on these hinges or articulated arms.
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.
