Definitions

  • the invention relates to clothing, especially water sports clothing, such as than the so-called overall combinations and which are especially adapted to the practice of nautical or underwater activities such as surfing, sailing, diving, etc ...
  • These combinations generally comprise a main part which covers the bust, a front face of this part covering the anterior part of the thorax, and the rear face covering the back.
  • This main part which covers the bust has orifices for the passage of arms, legs and head.
  • the garment may have sleeves and legs for cover the upper and lower limbs, respectively. He can also have, at the level of the passage opening of the head, a collar or a hood.
  • These garments are usually made from flexible and elastic materials so as to fit the shape of the body without hindering movements.
  • These materials may for example be elastic fabrics (such as fabrics comprising elastane) or polychloroprene foams (known as trademark "Neoprene”), these materials can be assembled together at different Depending on the choice of these materials, these garments may be offer protection against the cold, against shocks, against the sun, etc ...
  • the invention proposes a garment comprising a bust portion which has a front face and a rear face and which is provided with orifices for the passage of the head, legs and arms, and of the type having an opening in the form of a cutout provided closure means, characterized in that the cutout comprises a curved section which extends from the front face to the rear face bypassing the orifice of passage of the head and passing through a shoulder of the bust portion.
  • a combination 10 which has a main part 12 covering the bust of a user.
  • This part 12 forming a bust thus has a face before 14 covering the front part of the torso and a rear face 16 covering the back.
  • This part has shoulders 18 on either side of a hole 20 for the passage of the head.
  • She also has passage openings for the upper and lower limbs, but in illustrated example, the combination is an integral combination that also includes 22 sleeves and legs 24 in the extension of these orifices.
  • the orifice 20 of passage of the head has the form of a tubular collar 34 which is intended to go up along the user's neck
  • the combination is for example essentially made of polychloroprene foam, in the form of panels assembled together. These signs may have different thicknesses or characteristics depending on their positioning on the garment.
  • the suit may also have inserts of different materials example in the form of elastic fabrics.
  • the combination is preferably a wet suit perfectly adjusted to the body of the user.
  • this one is provided with an opening which is arranged in the form of a cut-out 26 made in the main part 12 forming a bust, this cutout being furthermore provided with means for closing.
  • the closure means are for example formed of a zipper of the rack type or spiral spring type.
  • the cutout forming the opening 26, and also the closing means associated comprises a curved section 28 which extends from the front face 14 to the face back 16 through a shoulder 18.
  • the curved section form the front end of the cutout 26, but is extended on the rear face by a terminal section 32 which extends vertically downwards from the rear end of the section curve 28.
  • the front end of the curved section 28 is transversely in the center of the front face, substantially halfway between the collar 34 and the armpit line 36. front end is therefore at the region of the sternum of the user.
  • the curved section of the cut extends upwards and towards a shoulder (the right shoulder in the illustrated case) in an initial direction inclined by an angle between 20 and 70 degrees from the horizontal.
  • the rear end of the blank is arranged substantially in the region which, relative to the user, corresponds to the region of the back between the two shoulder blades.
  • the curved portion 28 has, at its rear end an inclination between 45 and 70 degrees from the horizontal. Both sections 28, 32 are well heard connected by a rounded portion. In this embodiment, it can be seen that the Curved section 28 does not have a point of inflection, that is to say that its direction of curvature does not change on its length.
  • the second embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B is provided with an opening 26 whose curved section 28 extends at its forward end beyond the sternum, direction of the left armpit 36, that is to say in the direction of the armpit opposite the shoulder 18 through which the cut 26 passes. Thanks to this longer cutout on the front face, it is possible to possibly dispense with extending the curved section on the rear face. Cutting is ends at the back between the two shoulder blades of the user. In this embodiment, realizes that the entire cut is located above the level of the line of the underarm 36. The entire cut is curved, with the same direction of curvature.
  • the curved section 28 of the cutout 26 is extended at its front and rear ends by end sections 38, 40 which are also curved but whose direction of curvature is inverted with respect to the direction of curvature of the section 28.
  • the front end portion 38 extends towards the armpit 36 opposite by gradually bowing downwards.
  • the rear end section 40 tilts down to finish substantially vertical in the center back, substantially at the armpit line.
  • the entire cut 26 forming an opening is arranged in a high area of the bust portion 12 of the combination. More precisely this high zone can be delimited downwards by the line of underarms or by a line passing through the lower end of the sternum. This is rendered possible by the fact that the curved section ensures maximum extension of the opening according to the transverse direction. The opening does not need to extend in height on a great distance. However, by limiting the overall height of the opening, so the extent of height of the zipper, limit the extent of the area of the combination whose stretching ability is locked by the inelastic nature of the closure means. Of overall, the combination therefore remains elastic enough to follow the body movements of the user.
  • the opening defines a kind of flap that incorporates the neckline of the suit and which can pivot laterally. Openness is not limited only to a slot, it releases a large area to allow easy threading of the combination.
  • the examples of implementation of the invention which have been described more are not not limitative, and many variants can be envisaged by those skilled in the art without however, outside the scope of the invention.
  • the skilled person may modify the exact position of the curved section (in particular by passing it more or less high on the shoulder) or it can still change the shape and length of the terminal sections likely to extend the curved section 28 at the front or rear.
  • the curved section passes over the left shoulder instead of the shoulder right, or even swap the geometry of the cutout between the front and the back of the combination.
