Abstract

The swimming shorts, especially for use when surfing, have an elastic panel (26) at the back which covers the buttocks. The panel may be extended (28) between the legs.

Description

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des maillots de bain, notamment des maillots de bain destinés à la pratique du surf.The invention relates to the field of bathing suits, in particular bathing suits intended for the practice of surfing.

Dans le domaine des maillots de bains, on peut constater qu'il existe deux catégories. La première est celle des maillots de bains moulants, qui sont généralement construits complètement ou en grande partie avec des matériaux extensibles. Ces maillots moulants sont donc en permanence serrés contre le corps de l'utilisateur.In the field of swimwear, we can see that there are two categories. The first is that of tight-fitting swimsuits, which are generally constructed completely or largely with stretch materials. These tight jerseys are therefore permanently pressed against the body of the user.

La seconde catégorie est celle des maillots de bain à coupe ample où, sauf au niveau de la ceinture, le maillot n'est pas serré contre l'utilisateur. Pour la pratique du surf, on utilise généralement des maillots de bain à coupe ample de type short (parfois appelés « board-shorts ») qui comportent une ceinture, une partie correspondant au bassin de l'utilisateur, et deux jambes qui sont destinées à descendre le long des jambes de l'utilisateur, par exemple jusqu'en dessus ou jusqu'en dessous du niveau des genoux de l'utilisateur. Ces maillots de bain sont réalisés dans des matériaux inextensibles tels que des tissus de coton, de polyester ou de polyamide. La coupe ample de ces maillots donne la liberté de mouvement requise pour la pratique du surf.The second category is that of loose fit swimwear where, except at the level of the belt, the jersey is not tight against the user. For the practice of surfing, we use usually loose-fitting shorts like shorts (sometimes called “board-shorts” ") Which include a belt, a part corresponding to the user's pelvis, and two legs which are intended to descend along the legs of the user, for example up to or below the user's knee level. These jerseys bath are made of inextensible materials such as cotton, polyester fabrics or polyamide. The loose fit of these jerseys gives the freedom of movement required for surfing.

Cependant, l'ampleur de la coupe ne suffit pas toujours à donner toute la liberté de mouvement qui serait souhaitable, ceci d'autant plus que, lorsque le maillot de bain est mouillé, les tissus qui le composent glissent moins bien sur la peau de l'utilisateur et tendent à se bloquer, ce qui provoque généralement une certaine gêne.However, the size of the cut is not always enough to give full freedom of movement which would be desirable, especially since, when the swimsuit is when wet, the tissues that compose it slip less well on the user's skin and tend to hang, which usually causes some discomfort.

L'invention a donc pour but de proposer un maillot à coupe ample qui n'entrave pas les mouvements de l'utilisateur.The invention therefore aims to provide a loose fit jersey that does not interfere with user movements.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un maillot de bain de type short à coupe ample, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins une zone élastique autre que la ceinture.To this end, the invention provides a shorts type swimsuit with a loose cut, characterized in that it comprises at least one elastic zone other than the belt.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit, ainsi qu'au vu des dessins annexés dans lesquels les figures 1, 2, et 3 sont des vues schématiques en plan illustrant un maillot de bain selon l'invention, respectivement en vue de face, en vue de dos, et en vue de côté.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, and in view of the appended drawings in which FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 are schematic plan views illustrating a swimsuit according to the invention, respectively in front view, in back view, and in side view.

Sur la figure 1 on a illustré de manière schématique un vêtement 10 qui est en l'occurrence un maillot de bain de type « short » ou « bermuda ». Ce vêtement 10 comporte une ceinture 12, une partie 14 correspondant au bassin de l'utilisateur, et deux jambes 16 qui sont destinées à descendre le long des jambes de l'utilisateur, par exemple jusqu'en dessus ou jusqu'en dessous du niveau des genoux de l'utilisateur.In Figure 1 is schematically illustrated a garment 10 which is in this case a “short” or “bermuda” type swimsuit. This garment 10 has a belt 12, a part 14 corresponding to the user's pelvis, and two legs 16 which are intended to descend along the legs of the user, for example to the top or to below the user's knee level.

De préférence, la ceinture 12 est sensiblement inextensible, c'est-à-dire qu'elle est construite par exemple avec des tissus conventionnels. Cette ceinture 12 sera de préférence munie d'un système de réglage permettant d'ajuster au mieux la ceinture à la taille de l'utilisateur, ceci afin de garantir une bonne tenue du maillot, même si l'utilisateur est pris dans une vague. Eventuellement, la ceinture pourra être réalisée avec des matériaux élastiques mais il sera alors préférable de juguler cette élasticité en prévoyant par exemple un lacet inextensible de serrage.Preferably, the belt 12 is substantially inextensible, that is to say it is constructed for example with conventional fabrics. This belt 12 will preferably be fitted with an adjustment system to best adjust the belt to the waist the user, this in order to guarantee a good holding of the jersey, even if the user is taken in a wave. Optionally, the belt can be made with elastic materials but it will then be preferable to curb this elasticity by providing for example a lace inextensible tightening.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le maillot comporte tout d'abord, juste en dessous de la ceinture 12, une première zone annulaire supérieure élastique 18 (réalisée en un seul ou plusieurs panneaux) qui fait le tour de la taille de l'utilisateur et qui forme un anneau élastique interposé entre la ceinture 12 et le reste du maillot de bain. Cette zone annulaire supérieure 18 présente une hauteur de quelques centimètres, par exemple entre 1 et 10 cm. La hauteur de cette zone 18 peut par exemple être déterminée en fonction du degré d'élasticité du matériau et elle peut varier sur le tour du maillot. Cette zone annulaire 18 permet un découplage entre les mouvements de la ceinture 12 du maillot, qui est serrée sur le corps de l'utilisateur, et ceux de la partie basse 14 du maillot qui suit le mouvement des hanches et des jambes de l'utilisateur. Ce découplage intervient aussi bien lors d'une flexion du tronc par rapport aux membres inférieurs (par exemple lorsque l'utilisateur se penche en avant ou s'accroupit) que lors d'un mouvement de torsion du tronc.In the example illustrated, the jersey comprises first of all, just below the belt 12, a first elastic upper annular zone 18 (produced in one or more panels) which goes around the waist of the user and which forms an interposed elastic ring between the belt 12 and the rest of the swimsuit. This upper annular zone 18 has a height of a few centimeters, for example between 1 and 10 cm. The height of this area 18 can for example be determined according to the degree of elasticity of the material and it can vary around the jersey. This annular zone 18 allows decoupling between the movements of the belt 12 of the jersey, which is tight on the body of the user, and those of the lower part 14 of the jersey which follows the movement of the user's hips and legs. This decoupling occurs as well during a flexion of the trunk with respect to the limbs lower (e.g. when the user leans forward or squats) than when torsional movement of the trunk.

Le maillot de bain 10 illustré comporte ensuite une seconde zone dans laquelle sont agencés des panneaux élastiques : les deux côtés latéraux 20, partant verticalement de la ceinture 12 jusqu'au bord inférieur 22 des jambes 16. Ces panneaux latéraux élastiques 20 permettent un découplage entre les parties avant et arrière du maillot 20 et interviennent notamment lors des mouvements de forte flexion. Dans l'exemple illustré, ces panneaux latéraux 20 présentent une portion inférieure élargie 24 de manière à donner plus d'élasticité dans la partie basse des jambes 16 que dans la partie haute.The swimsuit 10 illustrated then has a second zone in which are arranged elastic panels: the two lateral sides 20, starting vertically from the belt 12 to the lower edge 22 of the legs 16. These elastic side panels 20 allow a decoupling between the front and rear parts of the jersey 20 and intervene especially during strong bending movements. In the example illustrated, these panels side 20 have an enlarged lower portion 24 so as to give more elasticity in the lower part of the legs 16 than in the upper part.

A titre d'exemple, chacun des panneaux latéraux 20 du modèle illustré présente, dans sa partie supérieure, une largeur d'environ 9 cm et peut s'étendre jusqu'à une largeur d'environ 15 cm. Dans sa partie inférieure, ces valeurs sont respectivement d'environ 17 et 25 centimètres.By way of example, each of the side panels 20 of the illustrated model has, in its upper part, a width of approximately 9 cm and can extend up to a width of approximately 15 cm. In its lower part, these values are respectively around 17 and 25 centimeters.

De même, dans l'exemple illustré, on a choisi que chacun des panneaux latéraux 20 soit réalisé en une seule pièce avec une moitié correspondante de la zone annulaire supérieure élastique 18. Cette disposition constructive n'est toutefois pas obligatoire dans la mesure où ces deux zones remplissent des fonctions complémentaires mais séparées.Similarly, in the example illustrated, it has been chosen that each of the side panels 20 is made in one piece with a corresponding half of the upper annular area elastic 18. This constructive provision is not however compulsory insofar as these two areas fulfill complementary but separate functions.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, il est prévu une troisième zone du maillot qui est pourvue de panneaux élastiques : la zone arrière 26 qui correspond aux fesses de l'utilisateur. Dans l'exemple illustré, cette zone arrière 26 se trouve directement encadrée, sur les côtés, par les panneaux latéraux élastiques 20, et, vers le haut, par la zone supérieure annulaire élastique 18. On pourrait prévoir toutefois que cette zone arrière élastique soit séparées des autres zones par des zones inextensibles ou peu extensibles. La zone arrière 26 peut être divisée en plusieurs panneaux, par exemple en deux panneaux droit et gauche.According to another aspect of the invention, a third zone of the jersey is provided, which is provided with elastic panels: the rear zone 26 which corresponds to the buttocks of the user. In the example illustrated, this rear zone 26 is directly framed, on the sides, by the elastic side panels 20, and, upwards, through the elastic annular upper zone 18. Provision could however be made for this elastic rear zone to be separated from the other zones. by inextensible or poorly extensible zones. The rear area 26 can be divided into several panels, for example in two panels right and left.

Cette zone arrière élastique 26 permet d'absorber la proéminence formée par les fesses de l'utilisateur lorsqu'il se penche en avant ou lorsqu'il se met en position accroupie. This elastic rear zone 26 makes it possible to absorb the prominence formed by the buttocks of user when leaning forward or when crouching.

Enfin, le maillot comporte une quatrième zone élastique : la zone d'entrejambe 28. Cette zone d'entrejambe 28 peut par exemple être conçue comme un prolongement, vers le bas et vers l'avant, de la zone arrière 26. L'élasticité de la zone d'entrejambe 28 est plus particulièrement utile lorsque l'utilisateur écarte les jambes.Finally, the jersey has a fourth elastic zone: the crotch zone 28. This crotch area 28 can for example be designed as an extension, down and forward, from the rear area 26. The elasticity of the crotch area 28 is more particularly useful when the user spreads his legs.

Selon l'invention, le maillot de bain 10 comporte par ailleurs des zones dans lesquelles le ou les panneaux ne sont pas élastiques. Dans l'exemple illustré, il s'agit essentiellement de la ceinture 12, de panneaux 30 situés sur la face avant du maillot, et de panneaux 32 agencés à l'extrémité inférieure de la face arrière des jambes 16. Notamment pour les panneaux de la face avant 30, on aura intérêt à choisir un matériau qui, n'étant pas nécessairement élastique, sera résistant à l'abrasion. En effet, ce sont ces panneaux qui seront le plus exposés à l'abrasion lorsque le maillot de bain sera utilisé par un surfeur, lequel passe une part non négligeable de son temps allongé sur le ventre sur sa planche. D'autres critères, tels que la légèreté et la rapidité de séchage pourront être pris en compte dans le choix de ce matériau.According to the invention, the swimsuit 10 also includes zones in which the or the panels are not elastic. In the example illustrated, it is essentially the belt 12, panels 30 located on the front face of the jersey, and panels 32 arranged at the lower end of the rear face of the legs 16. In particular for the panels of the front face 30, it will be advantageous to choose a material which, not necessarily being elastic, will be abrasion resistant. Indeed, these are the panels that will be most exposed to abrasion when the swimsuit is used by a surfer, who passes a part not negligible of his time lying on his stomach on his board. Other criteria, such as lightness and speed of drying can be taken into account in the choice of this material.

Pour la réalisation des zones élastiques, l'homme du métier pourra choisir différents types de matériaux, notamment des tissus incorporant au moins une part des fibres élastiques telles que les fibres élasthannes. Le degré d'élasticité du matériau pourra être ajusté en choisissant la quantité de fibres élastiques présentes dans le tissu. De même, on pourra prévoir que le matériau présente des élasticités variables suivant la direction d'allongement considérée. Eventuellement, on peut prévoir que le matériau élastique soit un film élastique.For the production of elastic zones, the skilled person can choose different types of materials, in particular fabrics incorporating at least part of the elastic fibers such than spandex fibers. The degree of elasticity of the material can be adjusted by choosing the amount of elastic fibers present in the fabric. Likewise, it can be expected that material has elasticities varying according to the direction of elongation considered. Optionally, provision can be made for the elastic material to be an elastic film.

Lorsque le maillot comporte plusieurs zones élastiques il est possible que les matériaux élastiques ne soient pas les mêmes d'une zone à l'autre et qu'ils présentent des caractéristiques d'élasticité différentes d'une zone à l'autre.When the jersey has several elastic zones it is possible that the materials elastic are not the same from one zone to another and that they present elasticity characteristics different from one zone to another.

Bien entendu, chacune des zones décrites ci-dessus pourra être réalisée en un seul panneau ou en plusieurs panneaux. De même, un maillot selon l'invention pourra ne pas comporter toutes le zones élastiques décrites ci-dessus. Cependant, dans tous les cas, on obtiendra ainsi un maillot de bain qui, par sa coupe ample, n'aura pas les inconvénients, manque de confort, d'esthétique, des maillots de bains moulants mais qui en revanche, contrairement aux maillots à coupe ample classique en matériau inextensible, permettra d'obtenir toute la liberté de mouvement souhaitable à la pratique du sport et notamment du surf.Of course, each of the areas described above can be produced in a single panel or in several panels. Likewise, a jersey according to the invention may not include all the elastic zones described above. However, in all cases, we will thus obtain a swimsuit which, by its loose cut, will not have the disadvantages, lack of comfort, aesthetic, tight-fitting swimsuits but, on the other hand, unlike swimsuits classic loose cut in inextensible material, will allow to obtain all the freedom of movement desirable for the practice of sport and especially surfing.
