Description

" SYSTEME AMELIORE DE RETENUE D'UNE CRAVATE SUR UNE CHEMISE" "IMPROVED TIE RETENTION SYSTEM ON A SHIRT"
1. DOMAINE DE L'INVENTION1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention concerne un système amélioré pour fixer une cravate sur une chemise de façon sûre, esthétique, pratique et sans dommage ni pour la cravate ni pour la chemise.The present invention relates to an improved system for securing a tie to a shirt in a safe, aesthetic, practical and harmless manner neither for the tie nor for the shirt.
2. DESCRIPTION DE L'ART ANTERIEUR2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
La cravate conventionnelle, lorsqu'elle est nouée autour du col de chemise, laisse pendre un grand pan et un petit pan de cravate. Il est d'usage que le fabricant couse sur ses deux bords verticaux une bande de tissu à l'arrière du grand pan de la cravate. Pour caractériser l'élément qui occupe la fonction de cette bande de tissu, nous utiliserons par la suite la dénomination de " passe-pan ". Le petit pan de la cravate, lorsqu'il est passé entre le ° passe-pan " et le grand pan de la cravate, devient invisible au regard. La cravate joue alors pleinement son rôle esthétique mais peut être très gênante lorsque le porteur se penche en avant ou lorsqu'il y a du vent. Elle peut même devenir dangereuse quand elle risque par exemple de se coincer dans une machine.The conventional tie, when it is tied around the shirt collar, leaves a large section and a small section of tie hanging. It is customary that the manufacturer sews on its two vertical edges a strip of fabric at the back of the large section of the tie. To characterize the element which occupies the function of this strip of fabric, we will use the designation "pass-pan". The small part of the tie, when passed between the "pass-pan" and the large part of the tie, becomes invisible to the eye. The tie then plays its aesthetic role fully but can be very annoying when the wearer bends in front or when there is wind. It can even become dangerous when it risks, for example, getting caught in a machine.
Pour maîtriser ce problème et garder la cravate centrée au milieu de la chemise, une méthode très utilisée consiste à utiliser une pince à cravate montée avec un ressort à rappel. Cette pince à cravate va pincer le grand pan de la cravate et l'ouverture avant de la chemise. Elle présente les inconvénients très importants de casser Pesthétisme de la cravate et d'endommager la chemise.To control this problem and keep the tie centered in the middle of the shirt, a widely used method is to use a tie clip mounted with a return spring. This tie clip will pinch the large part of the tie and the front opening of the shirt. It has the very significant disadvantages of breaking the aesthetics of the tie and damaging the shirt.
De nombreux moyens ont été proposés pour solutionner les problèmes cités ci-dessus. Un autre objet de l'art antérieur est le fait du brevet français FR2714268. Il décrit un système de pince à cravate relié de façon permanente au grand pan de la cravate au moyen de deux chaînes. La pince permet de fixer de façon souple la cravate à l'avant de la chemise. Ce système, cependant, présente les inconvénients :Many means have been proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Another object of the prior art is the fact of French patent FR2714268. He describes a tie clip system that is permanently connected to the large section of the tie by two chains. The pliers allow the tie to be flexibly attached to the front of the shirt. This system, however, has the disadvantages:
- de gêner l'utilisateur lorsqu'il noue sa cravate- to annoy the user when he ties his tie
- de ne pas pouvoir fixer de façon indifférente la cravate à une chemise comportant une ouverture avant à gauche ou à droite- not being able to fix the tie indifferently to a shirt with a front opening on the left or right
- d'être visible lors de son utilisation. - d'obliger le porteur à utiliser le système même si les circonstances ne le demandent pas.- be visible during use. - to oblige the holder to use the system even if the circumstances do not require it.
D'autres systèmes ont été développés sur la base d'un maintien centré de la cravate en utilisant les boutons de la chemise.Other systems have been developed on the basis of a centered retention of the tie using the buttons of the shirt.
On trouve par exemple, l'objet de l'art antérieur décrit dans le brevet des Etats Unis d'Amérique N° WO 93/00835. Le système qui y est développé permet de fixer une bande horizontale de tissu, coulissant verticalement le long du grand pan de la cravate, à un bouton de la chemise.We find, for example, the object of the prior art described in the United States patent No. WO 93/00835. The system developed there enables a horizontal strip of fabric to be attached, sliding vertically along the large section of the tie, to a button on the shirt.
Ces systèmes présentent cependant l'inconvénient de ne pas pouvoir être utilisés avec des chemises sans bouton apparent. RESUME DE L'INVENTIONHowever, these systems have the drawback of not being able to be used with shirts without an apparent button. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention concerne un système amélioré pour fixer le grand pan et le petit pan d'une cravate sur une chemise.The present invention relates to an improved system for fixing the large and the small part of a tie to a shirt.
Le système amélioré comprend un " passe-pan " et une pince indépendante améliorés, munis tous deux de moyens de fixations qui sont complémentaires, non permanents et qui permettent de maintenir la pince positionnée sur la cravate.The improved system includes a "pan-pass" and an improved independent clip, both provided with fixing means which are complementary, not permanent and which make it possible to maintain the clip positioned on the tie.
Le " passe-pan " permet une fixation de la pince à un ou plusieurs niveaux de hauteur de la cravate et donne la possibilité au porteur d'orienter et de fixer la pince en fonction d'une ouverture de chemise à gauche ou à droite. Sous sa forme préférée le système amélioré comprend :The "pass-pan" allows the clip to be fixed to one or more levels of tie height and gives the wearer the possibility of orienting and fixing the clip according to a shirt opening on the left or right. In its preferred form the improved system includes:
- un " passe-pan fourreau " (13), c'est à dire un " passe-pan " muni sur sa hauteur d'un ou de plusieurs fourreaux (16),- a "pass-through sleeve" (13), that is to say a "pass-through" provided on its height with one or more sleeves (16),
- une pince à cravate élastique (14) et indépendante de la cravate.- an elastic tie clip (14) and independent of the tie.
Une fois que le nœud de cravate est fait autour du col de chemise, le porteur de la cravate choisit un fourreau (16) du " passe-pan fourreau " (13) ne se retrouvant pas face à un bouton de chemise. Il y insère la plaque intérieure (18) de la pince (14) en même temps qu'il fait entrer l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) entre la plaque intérieure (18) et les bras de pince intérieurs (28), (29), (26), (34).Once the tie knot is made around the shirt collar, the wearer of the tie chooses a sheath (16) from the "sheath pass-through" (13) not facing a shirt button. He inserts therein the inner plate (18) of the clamp (14) at the same time as he enters the front opening of the shirt (10) between the inner plate (18) and the inner clamp arms (28), ( 29), (26), (34).
La présente invention s'adapte à tout type de chemise, bouton apparent ou non, ouverture de chemise à gauche ou à droite.The present invention adapts to any type of shirt, button visible or not, shirt opening on the left or on the right.
Une fois la cravate mise en place, l'invention n'est pas visible et respecte l'esthétisme de la cravate.Once the tie is in place, the invention is not visible and respects the aesthetics of the tie.
L'invention n'endommage ni la cravate, ni la chemise avec, par exemple, des pincements excessifs. L'invention est facile à utiliser et ne gène pas le porteur lorsqu'il fait son nœud de cravate ou lorsque par exemple celle-ci est repassée.The invention does not damage the tie or the shirt with, for example, excessive pinching. The invention is easy to use and does not interfere with the wearer when he ties his tie or when for example it is ironed.
Les matériaux utilisés pour fabriquer le « passe-pan fourreau » sont ceux utilisés sur une cravate conventionnelle. Ils respectent donc le tissu de la cravate. BREVE DESCRIPTION DES DESSINS La présente invention sera décrite ci-après de manière plus détaillée à l'aide de modes de réalisation représentés sur les dessins annexés, dans lesquels :The materials used to make the "sheath pan pass" are those used on a conventional tie. They therefore respect the fabric of the tie.

- les figures 6, 7 et 8 présentent trois formes de réalisation non limitatives de " passe-pan fourreau " DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DES FORMES PREFEREES DE REALISATION- Figures 6, 7 and 8 show three non-limiting embodiments of "sleeve pass-through" DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
La présente invention est un système amélioré pour fixer de façon centrée une cravate à une chemise que celle-ci ait ou n'ait pas de boutons apparents, que son ouverture avant soit à gauche ou à droite.The present invention is an improved system for centering a tie on a shirt whether or not the shirt has visible buttons, whether its front opening is on the left or on the right.
Sous ses formes préférées de réalisation, le système amélioré de la présente invention comprend deux éléments distincts : le " passe-pan fourreau " (13) représenté sur les figures 1 ,2,4,5,6,7,8 et la pince élastique (14) représentée sur les figures 3,4,5.In its preferred embodiments, the improved system of the present invention comprises two distinct elements: the "sheath pass-through" (13) shown in Figures 1, 2,4,5,6,7,8 and the elastic clamp (14) shown in Figures 3,4,5.
Le " passe-pan fourreau " (13) est un " passe-pan " muni sur sa hauteur d'un ou plusieurs fourreaux (16) adaptés pour y insérer la plaque d'une pince à cravateThe "pass-pan sheath" (13) is a "pass-pan" provided on its height with one or more sheaths (16) adapted to insert the plate of a tie clip
Le " passe-pan fourreau " (13) est fabriqué à partir de tissu tel que celui couramment utilisé pour fabriquer les « passe-pan ».The "sheath pass-through" (13) is made from fabric such as that commonly used to make the "pass-through".
La fixation du « passe-pan fourreau » (13) au dos du grand pan de la cravate (11), dont une représentation possible est faite figure 2, peut se faire soit sur toute sa hauteur (23), soit en un certain nombre de points (24). Une fixation sur toute la hauteur du « passe-pan fourreau » permet d'éviter de confondre, lors de la mise en place de la pince (14), l'ouverture (17) d'un fourreau (16) et le bord du « passe-pan fourreau » (13).The fixing of the "pass-pan sheath" (13) on the back of the large pan of the tie (11), a possible representation of which is made in FIG. 2, can be done either over its entire height (23), or in a certain number of points (24). A fixing over the entire height of the “sleeve pan pass” makes it possible to avoid confusing, when the clamp is put in place (14), the opening (17) of a sleeve (16) and the edge of the "Sheath pass-through" (13).
Le " passe-pan fourreau " (13) est fixé sur le dos du grand pan de la cravate (11) de telle façon qu'il existe un espace suffisant entre les deux pour le passage du petit pan de la cravate (12). Le petit pan de la cravate (12) sera ainsi maintenu au dos du grand pan de la cravate.The "sleeve pan-pass" (13) is fixed on the back of the large section of the tie (11) so that there is sufficient space between the two for the passage of the small section of the tie (12). The small section of the tie (12) will thus be held on the back of the large section of the tie.
Le " passe-pan fourreau " (13) est fabriqué à partir d'une ou plusieurs superpositions de tissus, dont deux représentations possibles sont faites figure 6 et 7.The "sleeve pan pass" (13) is made from one or more overlays of fabrics, two possible representations of which are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
L'espacement entre deux fourreaux sera différent de celui entre deux boutons de chemise afin de pouvoir fixer la cravate à la chemise même si un des fourreaux se retrouve face à un bouton. Les formes des fourreaux seront obtenues de préférence avec des coutures (33). D'autres méthodes d'obtention de ces fourreaux utiliseront le tissage et le soudage. Des couches de tissus, comme la couche de tissu (21), peuvent être rajoutées pour limiter les efforts d'un frottement de la pince dans le fourreau (16).The spacing between two sleeves will be different from that between two shirt buttons in order to be able to fix the tie to the shirt even if one of the sleeves is facing a button. The shapes of the sleeves will preferably be obtained with seams (33). Other methods of obtaining these sleeves will use weaving and welding. Tissue layers, such as the tissue layer (21), can be added to limit the forces of friction of the clamp in the sheath (16).
Chaque fourreau (16) comprend deux ouvertures (17), chacune à une extrémité du fourreau (16), pour insérer soit par la gauche, soit par la droite, la plaque intérieure (18) de la pince (14) dans le fourreau (16). Cette plaque intérieure (18) est guidée et positionnée sur le " passe-pan fourreau " (13) grâce au fourreau (16).Each sheath (16) comprises two openings (17), each at one end of the sheath (16), for inserting either from the left or from the right, the internal plate (18) of the pliers (14) in the sheath ( 16). This inner plate (18) is guided and positioned on the "sheath pass-through" (13) thanks to the sheath (16).
Le tissu extérieur (20) offre une surface idéale pour y faire apparaître la marque de fabrique ou des écritures du fabricant.The outer fabric (20) provides an ideal surface for showing the trademark or the manufacturer's writings.
Une finition par de la couture (22) ou tout autre moyen, du " passe-pan fourreau " (13), permet de lui donner une homogénéité visuelle et de faciliter son utilisation. Une forme simplifiée du « passe-pan fourreau » consiste à utiliser une ou plusieurs entailles (35) sur le « passe-pan », comme celles représentées sur la figure 8, afin reproduire la fonction du fourreau (16).Finishing by sewing (22) or any other means, "sheath pass-through" (13), makes it possible to give it visual uniformity and to facilitate its use. A simplified form of the “pass-pan sheath” consists in using one or more notches (35) on the “pass-pan”, like those represented in FIG. 8, in order to reproduce the function of the sheath (16).
La pince (14) comporte au moins une plaque extérieure (25) adaptée pour être insérée dans l'ouverture de la chemise, et une plaque intérieure (18) disposée de manière sensiblement parallèle à la plaque extérieure (25) et adaptée pour être insérée dans un moyen de fixation situé au dos du grand pan (11) de la cravate. Ce moyen de fixation peut être un fourreau.The clamp (14) has at least one outer plate (25) adapted to be inserted into the opening of the jacket, and an inner plate (18) arranged substantially parallel to the outer plate (25) and adapted to be inserted in a fastening means located on the back of the large section (11) of the tie. This fixing means can be a sheath.
La pince (14), comme le montrent les figures 4 et 5, sert à fixer l'élément cravate plus ° passe-pan fourreau " (13) sur la chemise.The clip (14), as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, is used to fix the tie element plus ° pass-through sleeve "(13) on the shirt.
Après avoir fait le nœud de sa cravate de façon conventionnelle, le sujet passe le petit pan de la cravate (12) entre le ° passe-pan fourreau " (13) et le dos du grand pan de cravate (11). Il choisit l'un des fourreaux (16) du " passe-pan fourreau " (13) afin de ne pas se trouver en face d'un bouton de chemise. Il y introduit par l'une de ses deux ouvertures (17) la plaque intérieure (18) de la pince (14). Il avance alors l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) vers l'ouverture de pince (30), puis il insère l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) entre les bras de pince intérieurs (26), (28), (29), (34) et la plaque intérieure (18). La plaque extérieure (25) de la pince (14) se retrouve ainsi entre l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) et l'ouverture arrière de chemise (15). Après ajustement la cravate sera maintenue sur la chemise de façon centrée.After having tied the knot of his tie in a conventional manner, the subject passes the small part of the tie (12) between the "pass-pan pan" (13) and the back of the large part of tie (11). one of the sheaths (16) of the "sheath pan-pass" (13) so as not to be in front of a shirt button. It introduces therein, via one of its two openings (17), the inner plate ( 18) of the clamp (14). It then advances the front liner opening (10) towards the clamp opening (30), then it inserts the front liner opening (10) between the inner clamp arms ( 26), (28), (29), (34) and the inner plate (18). The outer plate (25) of the clamp (14) is thus found between the front opening of the shirt (10) and the rear shirt opening (15) After adjustment, the tie will be centered on the shirt.
Le système amélioré de la présente invention restera invisible aux regards et la cravate gardera son esthétisme naturel.The improved system of the present invention will remain invisible to the eye and the tie will keep its natural aesthetics.
Le choix entre les deux ouvertures (17) de fourreau (16) permet au porteur d'orienter la pince, lorsqu'il la fixe, en fonction d'une ouverture de chemise à gauche ou à droite. La pince, parce qu'elle est ajoutée au dernier moment, ne gène en rien la réalisation du nœud de cravate.The choice between the two sheath openings (17) allows the wearer to orient the clamp, when he fixes it, as a function of a shirt opening on the left or on the right. The clip, because it is added at the last moment, does not interfere in any way with the making of the tie knot.
Le mode de serrage utilisé par la pince (14) fait que cette dernière n'abîme ni la chemise ni la cravate.The method of tightening used by the clip (14) means that the latter does not damage the shirt or the tie.
Les matériaux nécessaires à la fabrication du « passe-pan fourreau » sont ceux couramment utilisés pour fabriquer le « passe-pan ». Ils respectent donc la qualité et l'image d'une cravate en soie, ce qui ne serait pas le cas de tout système faisant appel à du plastique ou du VELCRO®.The materials necessary for the manufacture of the "pass-pan" are those commonly used to manufacture the "pass-pan". They therefore respect the quality and image of a silk tie, which would not be the case with any system using plastic or VELCRO ® .
Pour enlever sa cravate, le sujet commence par sortir la pince (14) du fourreau (16). Les opérations qui suivent sont celles réalisées avec une cravate conventionnelle. Dans sa forme préférée de réalisation, la pince (14) est réalisée à partir d'une plaque mince élastique par découpe, courbure et emboutissage de forme.To remove his tie, the subject begins by removing the clip (14) from the sheath (16). The following operations are those carried out with a conventional tie. In its preferred embodiment, the clamp (14) is produced from a thin elastic plate by cutting, bending and stamping in shape.
La pince (14) est composée d'un plaque intérieure (18), d'une série de bras de pince intérieurs (26), (28), (29), (34) d'une plaque extérieure (25) et d'une extrémité courbe (31). La plaque extérieure (25) et la plaque intérieure (18) sont disposées de préférence de manière sensiblement parallèle. Elles sont reliées par l'extrémité courbe (31). L'autre extrémité forme une ouverture de pince (30).The clamp (14) is composed of an inner plate (18), a series of inner clamp arms (26), (28), (29), (34) an outer plate (25) and d 'a curved end (31). The outer plate (25) and the inner plate (18) are preferably arranged substantially parallel. They are connected by the curved end (31). The other end forms a clamp opening (30).
Le bras de pince (28) et la plaque intérieure (18) constituent l'ouverture de pince (30). Les plaques intérieure (18) et extérieure (25) peuvent être découpées, courbées et embouties selon des formes originales.The gripper arm (28) and the inner plate (18) constitute the gripper opening (30). The inner (18) and outer (25) plates can be cut, curved and stamped according to original shapes.
La plaque extérieure (25) et la plaque intérieure (18) peuvent accueillir la marque de fabrique ou toute autre écriture.The outer plate (25) and the inner plate (18) can accommodate the trademark or any other writing.
L'ouverture de pince (30) facilite le positionnement de l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) dans la pince grâce à son bras de pince (28).The clamp opening (30) facilitates the positioning of the front liner opening (10) in the clamp thanks to its clamp arm (28).
Le point de contact (27) entre les bras de pince (28) et (29) touche ou touche quasiment la plaque intérieure (18). Il exerce lors de l'utilisation de la pince un effort de serrage sur l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) et le tissu du fourreau (16).The contact point (27) between the gripper arms (28) and (29) almost touches or touches the inner plate (18). When using the clamp, it exerts a clamping force on the front opening of the shirt (10) and the sheath fabric (16).
Le bras de pince (26) fournit un serrage progressif de l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) et du tissu du fourreau (16). Il augmentera également, lorsque sollicité, la pression au point de contact (27). L'extrémité du bras de pince (26) la plus proche de l'extrémité courbe (31) est en contact ou quasiment en contact avec la plaque intérieure (18).The gripper arm (26) provides progressive tightening of the front shirt opening (10) and the sheath fabric (16). It will also increase, when requested, the pressure at the contact point (27). The end of the gripper arm (26) closest to the curved end (31) is in contact or almost in contact with the inner plate (18).
Lorsque l'ouverture avant de chemise (10) a une double épaisseur sur une petite longueur, ce qui est une majorité des cas, le point de contact (27) jouera également le rôle de clips. Pour franchir le point de contact (27), afin de désolidariser la cravate de la chemise, l'inclinaison du bras de pince (29) par rapport à la plaque intérieure (18) permet un effort progressif.When the front shirt opening (10) has a double thickness over a short length, which is the majority of cases, the contact point (27) will also act as clips. To cross the point of contact (27), in order to separate the tie from the shirt, the inclination of the clamp arm (29) relative to the inner plate (18) allows a progressive effort.
Le bras de pince (34) part de l'extrémité du bras de pince intérieur (26) la plus proche de la plaque intérieure (18). Il constitue avec la plaque intérieure (18) un ouverture intérieure de la pince.The gripper arm (34) extends from the end of the inner gripper arm (26) closest to the inner plate (18). It constitutes with the inner plate (18) an inner opening of the clamp.
Le bras de pince (34) facilite la mise et le retrait de la pince (14) dans le fourreau en évitant que cette pince n'accroche le tissu du fourreau (16) ou de l'ouverture avant (10) de la chemise.The clamp arm (34) facilitates putting and removing the clamp (14) in the sheath by preventing this clamp from catching the fabric of the sheath (16) or of the front opening (10) of the shirt.
Des arrondis (32) sont réalisés sur la plaque intérieure (18) de la pince au niveau de l'ouverture de pince (30). Ces arrondis permettent d'éviter les accrocs avec des éléments de la cravate.Rounding (32) is made on the inner plate (18) of the clamp at the clamp opening (30). These roundings help avoid snags with elements of the tie.
Les bras de pince (26), (28), (29) et (34) peuvent être rapportés sur la plaque extérieure (25) afin d'obtenir des élasticités différentes entre les éléments (25), (31), (18) et les bras de pince (26), (28), (29), (34). Les formes préférées de réalisation présentées avec cette invention ne limitent pas l'invention à ces dernières et des modifications peuvent être faites dans le cadre des revendications suivantes. The clamp arms (26), (28), (29) and (34) can be attached to the outer plate (25) in order to obtain different elasticities between the elements (25), (31), (18) and the gripper arms (26), (28), (29), (34). The preferred embodiments presented with this invention do not limit the invention to the latter and modifications may be made within the scope of the following claims.
