Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention est relative à une veste équipée d'une capuche ayant une enveloppe extérieure en tissu souple, et dotée d'un coulisseau interne pour le passage d'un cordon de serrage destiné à adapter la capuche à la tête de l'utilisateur.The invention relates to a jacket equipped with a hood having a outer shell of flexible fabric, and having an internal slider for the passage of a drawstring for adapting the hood to the head of the user.

Lors de la mise en place d'une capuche enveloppante sur la tête de l'utilisateur, la visibilité latérale reste problématique. Pour remédier à ce problème, certains fabricants proposent des capuches avec des découpes frontales autour des yeux qui améliorent le champ de vision latéral, mais au détriment de la protection contre les intempéries.When setting up a wraparound hood on the head of the user, lateral visibility remains problematic. To remedy this problem, some manufacturers offer hoods with cutouts frontal areas around the eyes that improve the lateral field of vision, but at detriment of protection against the weather.

Le brevet US2601680 décrit une protection pour la tête comportant des fenêtres transparentes et un cordon de serrage situé autour du cou de l'utilisateur. Les fenêtres sont cousues sur la protection et sont situées de telle manière que l'utilisateur puisse voir à travers en tournant la tête de côté, ce qui réduit le champ de vision de l'utilisateur et son confort. Le brevet US 3,505,681 décrit une veste avec une capuche ayant les caractéristiques du preambule de la revendication 1.US2601680 discloses a head protection comprising transparent windows and a drawstring around the neck of the user. The windows are sewn on the protection and are located such that the user can see through by turning the head aside, which reduces the user's field of vision and comfort. US Patent 3,505,681 describes a jacket with a hood having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

L'objet de l'invention consiste à réaliser une capuche permettant d'obtenir une visibilité latérale optimum, et une bonne protection contre les intempéries. The object of the invention is to provide a hood which makes it possible to obtain a optimum lateral visibility, and good weather protection.

Cet objet est obtenu par un dispositif selon les revendications annexées, plus particulièrement par un dispositif dans lequel, pour élargir le champ de vision latéral, la capuche comporte une paire de fenêtres en matière plastique transparente, situées au niveau des yeux de l'utilisateur et agencées dans des découpes à droite et à gauche de l'enveloppe en s'étendant entre le coulisseau et les bords antérieurs de la capuche, de manière à permettre le déploiement des fenêtres sans plis.This object is obtained by a device according to the appended claims, plus particularly by a device in which, to widen the field of vision side, the hood has a pair of plastic windows transparent, located at the level of the eyes of the user and arranged in cuts to the right and left of the envelope extending between the slide and the front edges of the hood, so as to allow the deployment of windows without folds.

Description sommaire des dessinsBrief description of the drawings

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de face de la capuche selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 montre une vue de profil de la figure 1;
  • les figures 3 et 4 représentent des vues partielles de la capuche respectivement en position desserrée et en position resserrée du cordon de serrage.
Other advantages and features will emerge more clearly from the following description of an embodiment of the invention given by way of non-limiting example, and represented in the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the hood according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of Figure 1;
  • Figures 3 and 4 show partial views of the hood respectively in the released position and in the tightened position of the drawstring.

Description d'un mode de réalisation préférentiel.Description of a Preferred Embodiment

En référence aux figures, une capuche 10 d'un vêtement 12 de montagne ou de loisirs, notamment une surveste, une parka, ou un anorak, comporte une enveloppe extérieure 14 souple avec possibilité d'incorporer une doublure interne en matière polaire chaude. Referring to the figures, a hood 10 of a mountain garment 12 or such as a surveste, a parka, or an ankle, 14 flexible outer shell with possibility of incorporating a liner internal in hot polar material.

Le tissu de l'enveloppe extérieure 14 de la capuche 10 est imperméable, coupe-vent et éventuellement respirant en fonction des conditions d'utilisation du vêtement 12 en montagne, ski, randonnée, ou de loisirs. Le tissu est généralement en matière synthétique qui isole de la pluie, du vent, et de la neige en autorisant en plus la respiration qui évite l'effet de condensation interne.The fabric of the outer shell 14 of the hood 10 is impermeable, windproof and possibly breathable depending on the conditions of use clothing 12 in the mountains, skiing, hiking, or leisure. The fabric is generally synthetic material that isolates from the rain, wind, and snow by allowing more breathing that avoids the effect of condensation internal.

Un coulisseau 16 est pris en couture à l'intérieur de la capuche 10 pour le passage d'un cordon de serrage 18 destiné à adapter la capuche 10 à la morphologie de la tête de l'utilisateur. Le coulisseau 16 est sensiblement parallèle aux bords antérieurs 24a et 24b de la capuche, entourant ainsi le visage de l'utilisateur.A slider 16 is sewn inside the hood 10 for the passage of a drawstring 18 for adapting the hood 10 to the morphology of the user's head. The slider 16 is substantially parallel to the front edges 24a and 24b of the hood, thus surrounding the face of the user.

La forme de la capuche 10 peut éventuellement recouvrir un casque de protection avec ou sans visière.The shape of the hood 10 may possibly cover a helmet of protection with or without visor.

Afin d'élargir le champ de vision latéral, la capuche est équipée d'une paire de fenêtres 20a, 20b en matière plastique transparente, les fenêtres 20a, 20b étant agencées à droite et à gauche au niveau des yeux de l'utilisateur.In order to widen the lateral field of vision, the hood is equipped with a pair of windows 20a, 20b made of transparent plastic, windows 20a, 20b being arranged to the right and to the left at the level of the eyes of the user.

Les deux fenêtres 20a, 20b latérales sont intégrées par des coutures 22 étanches dans des découpes du tissu de l'enveloppe extérieure 14, lesquelles s'étendent entre le coulisseau 16 et les bords 24a, 24b antérieurs de la capuche 10.The two windows 20a, 20b are integrated side seams 22 sealed in cutouts of the fabric of the outer casing 14, which extend between the slider 16 and the front edges 24a, 24b of the hood 10.

Le matériau plastique souple des fenêtres 20a, 20b est à base de polyuréthane transparent qui résiste au froid Il est clair que toute autre matière transparente appropriée peut être utilisée. The flexible plastic material of windows 20a, 20b is based on transparent polyurethane that is resistant to cold It is clear that any other suitable transparent material can be used.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent la capuche 10 respectivement en position desserrée et en position resserrée du cordon de serrage 18. Dans les deux positions, les fenêtres 20a, 20b transparentes restent déployées sans présence de plis grâce au retrait du coulisseau 16. La vision latérale est ainsi optimum indépendamment du degré de serrage de la capuche 10. En effet les fenêtres restent déployées, sans plis, indépendamment du degré de serrage de la capuche 10.Figures 3 and 4 show the hood 10 respectively in position loosened and in the tightened position of the drawstring 18. In both positions, the transparent windows 20a, 20b remain deployed without folds due to the withdrawal of the slider 16. The lateral vision is thus optimum regardless of the degree of tightening of the hood. the windows remain unfolded, without folds, regardless of the degree of tightening the hood 10.
