Definitions

  • the invention relates to water sports clothing, especially those generally called suits and which are particularly suitable for the practice of nautical or underwater activities such as surfing, windsurfing, diving, etc. ..
  • These combinations generally comprise a main part that covers the bust, a front panel of this part covering the anterior part of the thorax, and a rear panel covering the back.
  • This main part that covers the bust has orifices for the passage of arms, legs and head.
  • the garment may have sleeves and legs to cover respectively the upper limbs and the lower limbs.
  • These garments are generally made from soft and elastic materials so as to fit the shape of the body without hindering movement.
  • These materials may for example be elastic fabrics (such as fabrics comprising elastane) or polychloroprene foams (known under the trademark "Neoprene”), these materials can be assembled together at different locations of the same clothing Depending on the choice of these materials, these clothes can offer protection against the cold, against shocks, against the sun, etc ...
  • the conventional arrangement of the closure means poses problems of comfort and sealing at the neck and at the level of the cut.
  • the invention provides a water sports clothing having a bust portion which has a front panel and a rear panel and which is provided with orifices for passage of the head, legs and arms, and of the type comprising an opening in the form of a cutout provided with closure means, characterized in that it comprises an internal collar, a main portion of which surrounds the neck of a user, and in that the collar is fixed on an inner face of the bust part.
  • the figures show a garment of the combination type 10 which has a main portion 12 covering the bust of a user.
  • This part 12 forming a bust thus has a front panel 14 covering the front part of the torso and a rear panel 16 covering the back.
  • This portion 12 has shoulders 18 on either side of a hole 20 for the passage of the head.
  • It also has passage openings for the upper and lower limbs, but in the example shown, the combination is an integral combination which also includes sleeves 22 and legs 24 in the extension of these orifices.
  • the head passage opening 20, which forms the upper edge of the front and rear panels substantially follows the contour of the user's neck base. However, this orifice could be constituted by the edge of a collar that would be integrated into the bust portion and which would go up along the neck of the user.
  • the combination is for example essentially made of polychloroprene foam (known under the trade name "neoprene”), in the form of panels assembled together. These panels may have different thicknesses or characteristics depending on their positioning on the garment. Each panel may itself be composed of several pieces.
  • the combination may also include inserts of different materials for example in the form of elastic fabrics. The combination is preferably a wet suit perfectly fitted to the body of the user.
  • the latter is provided with an opening which is arranged in the form of a cutout 26 formed in the main part 12 forming a bust, this cutout being by elsewhere provided with closure means.
  • the closure means are for example formed of a zipper of the rack type or spiral spring type.
  • the cutout 26 is formed in the rear panel 18 of the bust 12, and it is provided with a slide fastener 28, which can be controlled by pulling on a flexible cord 30.
  • this cutout 26 is inclined relative to the vertical. It further has, at least in an upper section, a curved shape. It extends upwards from a central zone of the rear panel 18 and opens into the passage opening of the head 20 being shifted transversely with respect to a median longitudinal axis of the panel.
  • the cutout 26 delimits two sections of the rear panel, and in the open position of the closing means 28, the two panels are spaced transversely to allow the entry of the body of the user into the combination.
  • the cutout 26 opens into the orifice 20 for the passage of the head, not in the center as is known, but on one side, that is to say at the level of one of the shoulders 18 of the garment.
  • This form of the cut 26 has many advantages, especially in terms of ease of handling when opening and closing the associated zipper 28.
  • the closure has a rectilinear lower section, which extends substantially over half the length of the slide, and a curved upper section.
  • the combination 10 comprises an internal collar 32, a main portion 34 of which surrounds the neck of a user, the collar 32 being fastened to an inner face of the bust portion 12.
  • the main portion 34 of the flange preferably has a tubular or frustoconical shape, and is made of a sufficiently flexible material to allow its passage over the head of the user and to allow its perfect adaptation to the neck of the user. It will ensure, without tightening the neck of the user, a perfect seal by preventing water from passing between the neck and the main portion.
  • the collar also has a lower portion 36 which covers the base of the neck and the shoulders 18 and which extends slightly downwards at the back and front, respectively along the back and along the chest of the body. 'user.
  • This lower portion 36 is intended to be covered by the main part forming bust 12 of the combination.
  • the main portion 34 is intended to extend upwardly through the passage opening of the head 20 (at least when the bust portion is neckless and has an orifice 20 arranged at the the base of the neck as shown in the figures).
  • the flange 32 comprises a sealing portion 38 which extends the lower part 36 downwards so as to be positioned opposite the cutout 26 and the associated slide fastener.
  • This sealing portion 38 prevents water from coming into direct contact with the user when it is infiltrated by the slide fastener 28.
  • the sealing portion 38 forms a padding which improves the comfort of the combination.
  • the main qualities required for the material or materials constituting the collar are the flexibility and tightness.
  • the thermal insulation qualities being of less importance, it will be possible for example to use polychloroprene foams of small thickness.
  • hatching zones 40 of the flange are illustrated by hatching on the internal face of the bust portion.
  • these attachment zones extend essentially on one of the lateral edges, the right edge in this case so as to fix the collar mainly under the right shoulder of the suit, but also , always on the right side, on the chest and in the back, along the cutout 26.
  • the attachment zones extend to the lower end of the sealing portion 38.
  • the user can enter the suit and completely cover it. Once the suit is coated, but before closing the cutout 26, the user will be able to grip the flange 32 and pass it over his head in the manner of a collar or a hood. Then, he will have to adjust the position of the lower portion 36 and the sealing portion 38 of the flange 32 before closing the zipper 28.
  • the adjustment of the bust format portion 12 of the garment is used to create a force that tends to press this portion 12 on the flange 32 and the flange 32 against the body of the user.
  • the plating is in all circumstances perfectly achieved, which ensures a good seal.
  • the design of the sealing means is more particularly shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
  • the slide fastener 28 is a conventional closure comprising two ribbons 44 each provided with a series of teeth, which are intended to grip one end. in the other to ensure closure.
  • the stapling and the disintegration of the teeth is controlled, in known manner, by a slider 47 provided with a pull tab 48.
  • the flange 32 is fixed on a first pan, in this case the right pan 16a.
  • One of the ribbons 44 of the slide 28 is fixed directly on the inner face of this right pan 16a.
  • the second ribbon is fixed on the outer face of a protective flap 46 (made in the form of a neoprene strip), which flap 46 is fixed on the left pan 16b, along the cutout 26.
  • the width of this ribbon flap 46 is such that, when the garment is closed, it completely covers the zipper 28, the inner side, and thus overlaps partially, the inner side, the right pan 16a.
  • the sealing portion 38 of the collar 32 completes the device and covers the assembly described above from the inside.
  • the left panel 16b is provided in such a way that when the cut is closed by the closure 28, the left panel 16b completely covers the slide from the outside and overlaps, a few centimeters, the right pan 16a from the outside.
  • the attachment areas of the flange 32 could be distributed differently, for a different implementation, where the attachment areas 40 described above could be supplemented by other attachment points.
  • the left edge comprises, in its lower parts, at the front and / or at the back, bonding points on the inner face of the bust portion 12 . The retraction of the collar 32 at the time of donning the combination may then be less easy, but the establishment of the collar 32 before closing the combination will be greatly facilitated.
  • Fixing the flange 32 on the inner face of the combination will be by any appropriate means depending on the materials constituting the flange 32 and the portion 12 forming a bust. In the case of neoprene, we can for example choose to achieve this fixation by stitching and / or gluing.
  • one of the flanks delimited by the cutout 26 comprises, at the orifice 20 for passage of the head, a locking lug 42 which is intended to overlap the cut 26 to come hang on the opposite side.
  • the attachment tab 42 and the opposite pan are provided with self-gripping strips that allow several attachment positions, whereby the user can perfectly adjust the tightening of the orifice 20 around his neck to ensure a good seal.
