Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to equipment for protecting persons against impacts (projectiles, bullets, etc.)
  • Deployable panels are known in particular which are generally folded to form a relatively flat object and of dimensions comparable to those of a briefcase or suitcase. Such a panel, if it has a handle, can be worn by a bodyguard exactly as a briefcase, so with a minimum of discretion. In case of danger, it is deployed to form an elongated panel, held with a generally vertical orientation in front of the person to be protected.
  • Such equipment is described in the document FR 2,825,795 .
  • a personal protection equipment against impacts or shocks comprising a set of panels articulated to each other and able to adopt a first configuration in which the panels are folded against each other and a second configuration wherein the panels are deployed to form a shield, the equipment further comprising a handle for holding the equipment in its first configuration and in its second configuration, characterized in that the handle is mounted on the assembly of panels by a sliding connection, so as to occupy, in the first configuration of the panels, a first position located in the vicinity of the articulation between two given panels and, in the second configuration of the panels, a second position located at a distance of said hinge and at a level remote from a free edge of one of the two panels given, which constitutes a top panel of the equipment in its second configuration.
  • a protective equipment 100 which, in the deployed position, comprises a set of four panels 110 to 140, with two end panels 110 and 140 and two intermediate panels 120 and 130.
  • These panels are here of rectangular shape and of similar dimensions, and are connected to each other by a set of fold lines.
  • these panels are made from two pieces of fabric, skin, imitation, non-woven or other flexible material of appropriate strength, sewn to each other at a peripheral seam 160 and at the level of transverse seams respectively 151, 152 and 153 defining the respective fold lines, it being specified that a fold line may be embodied by a single seam or several adjacent seams.
  • the four flak structures 171 to 174 corresponding to the four panels are trapped permanently, and held in place by the seams, or alternatively may be replaced by other structures, this being allowed by providing each panel with a shutter openable and resealable allowing access to the interior of the panel, according to a technique already known per se in bulletproof vests.
  • a handle 115 comprises a gripping portion 115a and two wings 115b mounted on a slide using 115c rivets.
  • the slide is formed of two plates 115d, 115e of leather, imitation thick, plastic or composite assembled to each other by the aforementioned rivets 115c as well as by additional rivets 115f provided below the gripping portion 115a . Between these two rivets is defined a closed housing in which is trapped a band 111 relative to which this assembly can slide in the direction of the arrows on the figure 1 .
  • This band 111 is fixed on the outer face of the panel 110 in the longitudinal direction by means of a seam line 113 located in the vicinity of the seam lines 151 separating the panels 110 and 120, and a seam line 112 recessed from the top edge of panel 110 on the figure 1 . As illustrated, for convenience and / or for reasons of strength, the strip 111 may extend, this time being secured to the panel 110, in a zone 111a joining the upper edge of said panel 110.
  • the handle 115 can slide, for purposes explained below, between two extreme positions defined by the seams 112, 113 which connect the band 111 to the panel 110.
  • the panel 110 also has a first fastening device 118 in the form of a "Velcro" (trademark) type fastening strip or the like which extends transversely to the strip 111 in the region of the seam 112. and a second fastening device 119 preferably of the same type, but of greater width and height, extending on the panel 110 essentially along the seams 151 forming the transition with the panel 120.
  • a first fastening device 118 in the form of a "Velcro" (trademark) type fastening strip or the like which extends transversely to the strip 111 in the region of the seam 112.
  • a second fastening device 119 preferably of the same type, but of greater width and height, extending on the panel 110 essentially along the seams 151 forming the transition with the panel 120.
  • attachment device 110 is intended to cooperate with a complementary device, not shown, located below the slide of the handle 115, for purposes explained below.
  • the protective equipment also has, in the region of the fold lines separating the panels 130 and 140, a second gripping handle 133, of traditional structure, fixedly mounted in this region.
  • the panel 140 finally has a fastening device 149 complementary to the fastening device 110 provided on the panel 110.
  • a non-functional flap 134 defined by a bead 132 and provided with a functional attachment 133 or dummy.
  • This flap is fixed on the panel 130 for example at the seams 153 and along the lateral edges of the assembly, between the ends of said seams 153 and the respective starting points of the bead 132.
  • the outer face of the equipment may have any aesthetic appearance (color, texture, etc.) desired.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 illustrate the equipment in a first position, where the panels 110, 120, 130 and 140 are folded against each other so that the general outline of the equipment has approximately the dimensions of a single panel. More specifically, the panel 110 was folded against the panel 120, inner face against inner face, and the panel 140 was also folded against the panel 130, always inner face against inner face.
  • the two pairs of panels thus folded against each other are folded against each other substantially around the fold line 152, so that the outer faces of the panels 110 and 140 are against each other. the other and that, in this way, the fasteners 119, 149 of type "Velcro" or equivalent are vis-à-vis one another.
  • the operator When a protection has to be performed, the operator (usually a bodyguard, a member of the police, etc.) releases the fixed handle 133, and no longer holds the equipment by the handle 115. if necessary exercising a jerk on this handle, so with one hand, it is able to bring the two tapes 119, 149 to separate from one another. Under the effect of gravity (which by itself alone can be sufficient to separate said two strips 119, 149), the equipment deploys to adopt the configuration of Figures 1 and 2 . During this movement, the handle 115 slides along the band 111 to adopt a position adjacent to the seam 112. The equipment thus forms a vertically elongated, generally flat, protective screen whose height is of the same order of magnitude. than the size of the person to be protected.
