Description

La présente invention concerne un article de chapellerie, et plus particulièrement une casquette, visière et autres, notamment destiné à un usage sportif ou de loisirs ou dans un cadre publicitaire.The present invention relates to an article of headwear, and more particularly to a cap, visor and the like, in particular intended for sports or leisure use or in an advertising context.

On connaît dans l'art antérieur plusieurs types d'articles de chapellerie entrant dans ce domaine. En particulier, certains de ces articles sont munis de moyens pour les ajuster au tour de tête de la personne qui le porte. De tels articles sont dits « à taille unique », puisqu'ils peuvent être confectionnés à partir d'un seul patron, tout en étant adaptables à des morphologies différentes.Several types of headwear articles entering the field are known in the prior art. In particular, some of these articles are provided with means for adjusting them to the head of the wearer. Such articles are said to be "one size fits all", since they can be made from a single pattern, while being adaptable to different morphologies.

Par exemple, on connaît un ensemble dans lequel une casquette est munie, à l'arrière, de deux bandes souples. L'une, dite mâle, est munie de picots régulièrement espacés, l'autre, dite femelle, comporte des oeillets qui peuvent coopérer avec les picots. Cela permet d'ajuster la casquette, en sélectionnant le couple picot-oeillet le mieux adapté.For example, there is known a set in which a cap is provided at the rear with two flexible strips. One, called male, is provided with regularly spaced pins, the other, said female, has eyelets that can cooperate with the pins. This makes it possible to adjust the cap, by selecting the most appropriate picot-eyelet pair.

Cependant, un tel ensemble ne permet qu'un nombre fini de positions différentes, ce qui peut ne pas être adapté à certaines personnes : soit en étant trop serré, soit trop lâche.However, such a set allows only a finite number of different positions, which may not be suitable for some people: either being too tight or too loose.

Dans une autre réalisation, une bande de tissu passe dans une boucle, pour serrer plus ou moins la casquette autour de la tête du porteur.In another embodiment, a web of fabric passes through a loop, to more or less tighten the cap around the wearer's head.

Cet ensemble procure une plus grande adaptabilité, mais, comme d'ailleurs dans le cas précédent, il exige un grand nombre d'étapes de confection. Par ailleurs, il ne permet pas de résoudre un autre problème qui se pose avec ce type d'article, spécialement dans un usage sportif : l'absorption de la transpiration.This set provides greater adaptability, but, as in the previous case, it requires a large number of manufacturing steps. In addition, it does not solve another problem that arises with this type of article, especially for sporting use: the absorption of perspiration.

Enfin, dans le cadre d'un usage publicitaire, il est essentiel qu'un tel article soit personnalisable et de fabrication aisée, dans un court laps de temps, en petites quantités éventuellement, mais pour un coût réduit.Finally, in the context of an advertising use, it is essential that such an article is customizable and easy to manufacture, in a short period of time, in small quantities possibly, but for a reduced cost.

On connaît également une casquette qui est munie d'un bandeau intérieur élastique absorbant à sa base, cousu sur toute sa périphérie, le long de la paroi intérieure de la casquette. La confection de cette casquette exige donc l'utilisation d'un tissu extensible, et ne satisfait pas l'impératif publicitaire précité.Also known is a cap which is provided with an elastic inner band absorbent at its base, sewn on its entire periphery, along the inner wall of the cap. The making of this cap therefore requires the use of an extensible fabric, and does not meet the aforementioned advertising requirement.

On connaît du document US-6.170.086 une casquette comprenant une portion en calotte et une visière. La portion en calotte présente une ouverture arrière sur laquelle est cousue une pièce d'ajustement élastique, permettant à ladite casquette de s'adapter à différentes morphologies de têtes.Document US-6,107,086 discloses a cap comprising a cap portion and a visor. The cap portion has a rear opening on which is sewn a piece of elastic adjustment, allowing said cap to adapt to different head morphologies.

On connaît du document US-6.016.572 une casquette constituée d'une calotte fabriquée à partir de plusieurs segments.Document US-6,016,572 discloses a cap consisting of a cap made from several segments.

Chaque segment est lié par une pièce qui fonctionne comme une couture flexible. La pièce s'étend du bord inférieur de la calotte jusqu'au sommet de cette dernière.Each segment is linked by a piece that functions as a flexible seam. The piece extends from the lower edge of the cap to the top of the latter.

On connaît du document US-3.188.654 une coiffe constituée par une calotte ovale formée par un matériau inélastique. La partie arrière de la coiffe présente une découpe pourvue d'une section en un matériau résilient.Document US-3,188,654 discloses a cap constituted by an oval cap formed of an inelastic material. The rear portion of the cap has a cutout provided with a section of a resilient material.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un article de chapellerie qui pallie les inconvénients précités.The object of the present invention is to provide a headwear article which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.

En particulier, on s'efforcera de proposer un article de chapellerie de confection aisée, de type à taille unique au moins pour une population donnée, c'est-à-dire qui puisse s'adapter à des têtes de diamètres différents, et qui présente une faculté d'adaptation au besoin publicitaire notamment.In particular, an effort will be made to provide an easy-made, one-size-fits-all headgear article at least for a given population, that is to say which can adapt to heads of different diameters, and which has an adaptability to the advertising need in particular.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un article présentant un faible coût de fabrication.Another object of the present invention is to provide an article having a low manufacturing cost.

D'autres buts et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description qui va suivre, qui n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter.Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the description which follows, which is given for information only and which is not intended to limit it.

L'invention concerne un article de chapellerie, constitué d'une coiffe, ouverte ou fermée, munie d'une visière et de moyens élastiques coopérant avec ladite coiffe, ladite coiffe présentant au moins une découpe au moins sur une partie de sa périphérie, lesdits moyens élastiques coopérant avec ladite coiffe au moins au niveau de ladite découpe et restant visibles au niveau de ladite découpe, caractérisé en ce que

  • ladite découpe est prévue selon une ligne de lisière sensiblement parallèle au bord inférieur de ladite coiffe et sur une hauteur h par rapport audit bord inférieur, lesdits moyens élastiques sont disposés sur toute la périphérie de la coiffe et se présentent sous la forme d'un ruban élastique dont la largeur I correspond au moins à la hauteur h de ladite découpe,
  • le bord supérieur dudit ruban élastique est cousu à ladite coiffe au niveau de ladite ligne de lisière,
  • le bord inférieur dudit ruban élastique est cousu en outre au niveau du bord inférieur de ladite coiffe à l'avant de ladite coiffe.
The invention relates to an article of headgear, consisting of a cap, open or closed, provided with a visor and elastic means cooperating with said cap, said cap having at least one cutout at least over part of its periphery, said resilient means cooperating with said cap at least at said cutout and remaining visible at said cutout, characterized in that
  • said cut is provided along a selvedge line substantially parallel to the lower edge of said cap and at a height h with respect to said lower edge, said elastic means are disposed over the entire periphery of the cap and are in the form of a ribbon elastic whose width I corresponds at least to the height h of said cut,
  • the upper edge of said elastic band is sewn to said cap at said selvedge line,
  • the lower edge of said elastic band is sewn further at the lower edge of said cap in front of said cap.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description, accompagnée des dessins en annexe, parmi lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de profil gauche d'un article de chapellerie, de type casquette, conforme à l'invention, selon un premier mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective, de dessous, de l'article de la figure 1, selon un premier mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 3 est une vue de profil gauche, d'un article de chapellerie, de type visière, conforme à l'invention,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe, selon la ligne IV de la figure 1, montrant comment lesdits moyens élastiques coopèrent avec ladite coiffe, au niveau de ladite découpe.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description, accompanied by the appended drawings, among which:
  • FIG. 1 is a left-side view of a headgear article, of the cap type, according to the invention, according to a first embodiment,
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view, from below, of the article of FIG. 1, according to a first embodiment,
  • FIG. 3 is a left-side view of a visor-type headgear article according to the invention,
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the line IV of FIG. 1, showing how said elastic means cooperate with said cap, at said cutout.

La présente invention concerne un article de chapellerie, par exemple une casquette, comme illustrée aux figures 1 et 2, ou une visière, comme illustrée à la figure 3.The present invention relates to a headwear article, for example a cap, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, or a visor, as illustrated in FIG.

La différence entre ces deux types d'articles réside dans la coiffe 1, qui peut être ouverte ou fermée. Lorsque la dite coiffe est ouverte, comme dans le cas d'une visière, celle-ci ne fait que ceindre la tête du porteur, et peut servir de support pour une visière 2 et, par exemple, pour un bandeau absorbant la transpiration. Lorsque la coiffe est fermée, comme dans le cas d'une casquette, celle-ci peut en outre protéger du soleil la tête du porteur.The difference between these two types of articles lies in the cap 1, which can be open or closed. When said cap is open, as in the case of a visor, it merely girds the head of the wearer, and can serve as a support for a visor 2 and, for example, for a headband absorbing perspiration. When the cap is closed, as in the case of a cap, it can further protect the wearer's head from the sun.

En outre, un article de chapellerie conforme à l'invention est muni de moyens élastiques 3 coopérant avec ladite coiffe 1.In addition, a hat article according to the invention is provided with elastic means 3 cooperating with said cap 1.

Selon l'invention, ladite coiffe présente au moins une découpe 4 au moins sur une partie de sa périphérie et lesdits moyens élastiques 3 coopèrent avec ladite coiffe 1 au moins au niveau de ladite découpe 4.According to the invention, said cap has at least one cutout 4 at least over part of its periphery and said elastic means 3 cooperate with said cap 1 at least at said cutout 4.

Ainsi, l'article est adaptable à différentes morphologies, au moins pour une population donnée. Une population, considérée comme homogène, c'est-à-dire pour laquelle on peut prévoir une taille unique, peut-être celle des enfants, ou celles des femmes, ou encore celle des hommes par exemple.Thus, the article is adaptable to different morphologies, at least for a given population. A population, considered homogeneous, that is to say for which one can predict a unique size, perhaps that of children, or those of women, or that of men for example.

Ladite découpe 4 peut être prévue selon une ligne de lisière 5 sensiblement parallèle au bord inférieur 6 de ladite coiffe 1 et sur une hauteur h par rapport audit bord inférieur.Said cutout 4 may be provided along a selvedge line 5 substantially parallel to the lower edge 6 of said cap 1 and a height h with respect to said lower edge.

Comme illustré à la figure 2, lesdits moyens élastiques 3 sont disposés sur toute la périphérie de ladite coiffe.As illustrated in Figure 2, said resilient means 3 are disposed over the entire periphery of said cap.

De plus, les moyens élastiques 3 sont aptes à occulter ladite découpe 4. Autrement dit, la découpe 4 est remplie par lesdits moyens élastiques 3 qui y prennent place, et ces derniers sont visibles de l'extérieur de l'article.In addition, the resilient means 3 are able to conceal said cutout 4. In other words, the cutout 4 is filled by said elastic means 3 which take place, and these are visible from the outside of the article.

Lesdits moyens élastiques peuvent ainsi servir de support publicitaire.Said elastic means can thus serve as support advertising.

Ainsi, avantageusement, lesdits moyens élastiques 3 se présentent sous la forme d'un ruban élastique dont la largeur I correspond au moins à la hauteur h de ladite découpe 4.Thus, advantageously, said elastic means 3 are in the form of an elastic band whose width I corresponds at least to the height h of said blank 4.

Conformément à l'invention, le bord supérieur 7 dudit ruban élastique est cousu à ladite coiffe 1 au niveau de ladite ligne de lisière 5.According to the invention, the upper edge 7 of said elastic band is sewn to said cap 1 at said selvedge line 5.

Les principales coutures sont représentées sur les figures 1 à 3 par des pointillés. Ainsi, comme illustré à la figure 2, au niveau de ladite découpe 4, la couture 8, entre ladite coiffe 1 et ledit ruban élastique 3, suit la ligne de lisière 5. Puis, au niveau de la visière, à l'avant de l'article de chapellerie conforme à l'invention, la couture entre ledit ruban élastique et ladite coiffe 1 suit le bord inférieur de ladite coiffe. Dans ce cas, c'est donc le bord inférieur 9 dudit ruban élastique qui est cousu au niveau du bord inférieur 6 de ladite coiffe 1.The main seams are shown in Figures 1 to 3 by dashed lines. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 2, at the level of said cutout 4, the seam 8, between said cap 1 and said elastic strip 3, follows the edge line 5. Then, at the level of the visor, at the front of the the article of headgear according to the invention, the seam between said elastic tape and said cap 1 follows the lower edge of said cap. In this case, it is therefore the lower edge 9 of said elastic band which is sewn at the lower edge 6 of said cap 1.

Comme illustré à la figure 4, le bord inférieur de ladite coiffe 1, au niveau de ladite découpe 4, est replié intérieurement, pour former ladite ligne de lisière 5. Ledit ruban élastique est cousu audit pli, qui constitue donc un ourlet.As illustrated in FIG. 4, the lower edge of said cap 1, at the level of said cutout 4, is folded internally, to form said selvedge line 5. Said elastic tape is sewn to said ply, which thus constitutes a hem.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ladite coiffe 1 peut être constituée d'un textile inextensible. Il s'agira notamment de textile à base de coton, ou de fibres synthétiques.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said cap 1 may consist of an inextensible textile. This will include cotton-based textiles, or synthetic fibers.

Ladite coiffe peut aussi être constituée d'un textile extensible.Said cap may also consist of an extensible textile.

En outre, ledit ruban élastique sera constitué d'un textile élastique, comme on peut en utiliser classiquement en chapellerie ou dans le domaine plus large de l'habillement.In addition, said elastic band will consist of an elastic textile, as can be conventionally used in headgear or in the wider field of clothing.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, ladite coiffe 1 est fermée et constituée de pièces d'étoffe 10, confectionnées en forme de demi-sphère. Selon une autre caractéristique particulière de l'invention, ladite coiffe 1 se présente sous la forme d'un bandeau 11, comme illustré à la figure 3.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, said cap 1 is closed and consists of pieces of fabric 10, made in the shape of a half-sphere. According to another particular characteristic of the invention, said cap 1 is in the form of a strip 11, as illustrated in FIG.

Selon l'invention, ladite visière 2 peut être constituée d'une forme mince, en un matériau rigide, enveloppé de tissu. On pourra choisir par exemple du plastique ou du carton et donner à la visière 2 une forme aplatie ou arrondie.According to the invention, said visor 2 may consist of a thin form, made of rigid material, wrapped in fabric. We can choose for example plastic or cardboard and give the visor 2 a flattened or rounded shape.

Naturellement, d'autres modes de mise en oeuvre, à la portée de l'homme de l'art, auraient pu encore être envisagés sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications.Naturally, other modes of implementation, within the reach of those skilled in the art, could still be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims.
