Definitions
- the present invention relates to an article of clothing and in particular a protective gaiter of the lower leg of a user. She concerns more particularly an improvement of its means superior peripheral grip, improving comfort and sealing.
- Protective gaiters are articles of clothing, already well known and which are worn by walkers the walkers or the hikers on foot, on snowshoes or on skis. These gaiters, are intended for ensure the tightness and comfort of the lower leg of users and are formed by a cloth envelope, of generally tubular shape carrying means of closures and openings arranged along its entire length and clipping means disposed on its lower periphery and / or superior. We also find on this type of gaiter means for hook the bottom end to the lace up of the shoe using one or several hooks, but also one or more straps of lengths adjustable under the shoe at the level of the arch.
- the gaiters of the trade also include means of maintain, allow the leggings not to go up along the leg of the user.
- These means usually consist of straps which can be constructed of fabrics, elastic material or more or less big cable intended to pass under the shoe of the user.
- the means of superior clasping that we know about the current market consists of non-elastic soft straps, see laces or fully elastic straps. In both cases, the goal sought is to limit the intrusion of particles such as ice, snow, water, land ... etc ..
- the known adjustment means are for example a fastener end having a gripping textile web, referred to commercially as "Velcro" or the buckle of the type found on belts for example.
- this type of clamping means does not allow to obtain a good seal at the upper end of the because when the user's leg is in motion, the parts of his leg are constantly changing in volume. To ensure a certain comfort, the user tends not to sufficiently tighten the strap, and the desired sealing is not assured. Also the user will seek to privilege the tightness and tighten too much his strap, this which will cause some discomfort.
- the elastic strap the device is more watertight than with the rigid strap, it is still necessary that the user has chosen a gaiter well to his size. Sometimes the elastic strap being too small, creates nuisance for the user such as slowing down the bloodstream, which can to give a feeling of coldness to the foot. Otherwise, the gaiter not being tight enough will let the snow pass or go down.
- the invention proposes to solve its disadvantages by means of simple and inexpensive means.
- the protective gaiter according to the invention is of form generally tubular type comprising, on the one hand, a lower part at least partly covering the upper of a shoe and, secondly, of an upper part intended to wrap the bottom of the leg of a the user and comprising at least one means of clasping, and is characterized in that at least one of the clasping means is associated with means for adjusting the clasping level, while the means upper entailment consist of a connected non-elastic portion to the gaiter via an elastic portion, while the end of the non-elastic portion is attached to the gaiter by means adjustment and locking.
- the non-elastic portion is a soft textile strap, while the elastic portion is a strap elastic.
- the assembly constituted by the strap elastic and the non-elastic strap is housed in a hem arranged at the upper part of the gaiter.
- the adjustment means consist of self-gripping textile strips of the type marketed under the brand "VELCRO", constituting a quick coupler formed by a first Velcro type velcro fastening strip, attached to the inner surface of the end of the non-elastic strap, intended to cooperate with a second hook-and-loop fastener, secured to the wall external of the gaiter.
- the gaiter of the invention is generally tubular shape of the type comprising, on the one hand, a part lower part (1b) at least partly covering the upper of a shoe (101) and, on the other hand, an upper part (1a) intended to envelop the bottom of the leg (102) of a user (100). It also includes means opening and closing (MO, MF) such as a zipper for example, which opens and closes advantageously over the entire length (L) of the tubular body.
- MO, MF opening and closing
- the invention also applies to a gaiter that does not open all the way up, or which opens differently.
- the gaiter (1) made of fabric or synthetic fabric advantageously sealed, thus comprises an end periphery lower (2b), designed to fit the outline of the upper of the shoe (101), and an upper end periphery (2a) for wrapping the bottom leg (102) of the user (100).
- the perimeters lower ends (2b) and upper ends (2a) comprise the means clasping. They are, therefore, arranged to receive a device for gripping the leg of a user.
- the invention thus relates to these arrangements by means of a particular construction of the gaiter (1) and more particularly on its upper clamping means which allow said gaiter to obtain excellent support without disturbing or hurting the lower leg (102) of the user (100).
- the clasping means upper and lower gaiters are arranged at the upper part (1a) or / and low (1b) peripheral bordering the peripheries of extremities upper (2a) or / and lower (2b) of the gaiter (1).
- the end periphery upper (2a) and / or the lower end periphery (2b) of the gaiter (1) are folded on themselves, so that, the fabric or the fabric of which consists of the upper part (1a) peripheral and / or the lower part (1b) device of said gaiter (1), forms one / hems (4a, 4b).
- each hem (4a, 4b) is made by stitching or welding, or by any other means, with the fabric or fabrics constituting the gaiter (1) in full or partially.
- Each seam (5) or weld (5) can go around circumference of the gaiter, fully or partially.
- Said hems (4a, 4b) allow; to introduce into the space (6) thus formed, between seams / welds (5) closing each hem and the fold (7) formed by the folding of the fabric or fabric of the upper periphery (2a) or / and lower (2b), the clamping means (ME) and the means for adjusting the level tightness (MR).
- the gaiter comprises, on the one hand, simple clamping means (ME) constituted an elastic band (10) around the lower part (1b) inside the lower hem (4b), and on the other hand, Closing and Clasping Level (ME, MR) circling the peripheral upper part (1a) inside the hem higher (4a).
- ME simple clamping means
- ME Closing and Clasping Level
- the gaiter of the invention may comprise for each means clamping means (ME), means for adjusting the clasping level (MR).
- ME clamping means
- MR clasping level
- the user can, in this case, adjust at each end device, the level of clasping of the gaiter on his leg (102) and on the shoe (101).
- the adjustment means the level of clasping (MR), associated with simple clasping means (ME), are arranged only on the upper end (2a) of the gaiter.
- the lower end (2b) of the gaiter (1) comprises means simple entanglement (ME), ie they consist of a band elastic (10) housed inside the bottom hem (4b).
- the peripheral upper end (2a) of said gaiter (1) has inside its hem (4a), the device (3) of encapsulation of the invention.
- said device (3) consists on the one hand, a part elastic (10) called “comfort”, and secondly, a flexible part, but non-elastic (11) allowing the user to adjust the level clasping.
- the tightening strap of the part high of the gaiter is constituted by a first elastic portion (10) constituted for example by an elastic strap, extended by a non-elastic portion (11) constituted by a synthetic textile strap.
- the elastic strap (10) has two ends, namely, a first end (10a) attached to the gaiter, and a second end end (10b) attached to the non-elastic strap (11).
- the first end (10a) of the elastic strap, attached to the gaiter is fixed inside the hem (4a), substantially at level of one of the detachable parts of the zipper (MO; MF). It has also been understood that the free end (10b) of the elastic strap is associated, by sewing, welding or otherwise, the non-elastic strap (11).
- the adjustment means consist of strips gripping textiles of the type marketed under the trademark "VELCRO", constituting a quick coupler formed by a first gripping band velvet type, fixed on the inner surface (12) of the end of the strap non-elastic (11), intended to cooperate with a second band gripper hook type, attached to the outer wall of the gaiter, and more precisely on the hem (4a) of the upper periphery (2a) of the gaiter (1) at the fixed end (10a) of the elastic band (10).
- the hook and loop portion (9a), located on the hem (4) of the gaiter is placed facing towards the outside (EXT) of the gaiter (1).
