Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a reinforcement, in particular for articles made of textile material or similar such as garment (bag, shoe, etc ..) and intended for protection including against abrasion, tears, etc.
  • the field of application of the present invention is more particularly that of sports equipment and in particular sports clothing for skiing, skiing, climbing, walking, but also sports bags, backpacks, shoes, etc.
  • WO 01/67903 teaches to cover the parts exposed by a additional yoke of high tenacity polyamide as known under the Cordura trade name.
  • US Pat. No. 6,286,150 relating to trousers teaches two ways to achieve a protection of the lower leg against the edges of skis, namely by the addition of a heavy polyamide yoke, relatively rigid or by the provision of a yoke specific in a material as known under one of the trade names Kevlar, Cordura or Spectra, added in a corresponding cut of the pants.
  • This extra thickness also prevents a smooth and continuous surface and constitutes this makes a "hooking" zone weakening said reinforcement.
  • the FR 2 838 303 proposes to use a reinforcement consisting of a simple thermoplastic film provided with a thermally bonded face and applied under hot and pressure on the outer face of the clothing.
  • An object of the present invention is to improve a reinforcement of this type in order to make it even more resistant to cuts and abrasions.
  • the reinforcement according to the present invention which is intended to be assembled when hot at a temperature ⁇ 3 on an article, in that it consists of an adhesive film thermoplastic having a bonding temperature ⁇ 1, provided, inner side of a face fusible and, on the external side, a discontinuous application of material resistant to abrasion and having a softening temperature ⁇ 2, greater than the temperature of collage1 bonding of the thermoplastic film, and in that the ⁇ 3 assembly temperature of the reinforcement is between ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2.
  • thermoplastic film softens and adheres to the article to be reinforced, simultaneously the thermoplastic film fills the spaces between the pieces of material resistant to abrasion and thus ensures excellent cohesion of the composite thermoplastic film / abrasion resistant material.
  • a very flexible and flexible reinforcement is obtained, having a very smooth upper surface and a abrasion resistance significantly increased by the pieces / particle of material abrasion resistant.
  • such a reinforcement is inexpensive since the material resistant to abrasion is applied by inexpensive means, such as screen printing, and that is when of the assembly / bonding of the reinforcement to the article to be reinforced, that the reinforcement itself is completed.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the manufacture of a blank 10 of the reinforcement according to the invention.
  • This blank 10 consists of a thermoplastic film 1, to which is applied by silkscreen, ie through a screen 2, a discontinuous coating of material 3 abrasion resistant.
  • the screen 2 has a grid shape whose mesh 2a open allow the material 3 to pass.
  • the material 3 can be applied, preferably at an ambient temperature such as 20 ° C, with the brush 4 as shown in FIG. 1 or by any other means of application used in screen printing such as roll, stamp, etc.
  • the reinforcement blank 10 is then in the form of a flexible film presenting discontinuous platelets 3a of material 3 resistant to abrasion.
  • the plates 3a have a shape corresponding to that of the meshes 2a of the screen, namely a hexagonal shape, and are separated by intervals 3b corresponding to the son 2b forming the meshes 2a.
  • any other form of mesh can be provided.
  • the thermoplastic film 1 may be a polyurethane, polyamide or polyester film, polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride.
  • this thermoplastic film has a temperature of different softening.
  • the bonding temperature ⁇ 1 of said film will be greater than the temperature of softening.
  • the temperature ⁇ 1 of bonding can vary between 100 and 185 ° C.
  • thermoplastic films used can be, for example, adhesive films sold by Bermis under the trade names “Dewface”, “Clarese”, or by the West Bridgford Machine Company or Ardmel. They have a thickness between 100 and 400 microns.
  • the reinforcement blank 10 may be protected by at least one non-paper adherent (not shown in the drawing) disposed on the side of the adhesive film, and intended to prevent any unwanted collage of said film.
  • the abrasion-resistant material 3 consists for example of epoxy resin, or any other thermosetting resin (silicone, cross-linked polyurethane (PUR)) loaded with fiber glass, carbon, aramid, etc.
  • thermosetting resin silicon, cross-linked polyurethane (PUR)
  • This resin has a softening temperature ⁇ 2 which is chosen higher than gluing temperature ⁇ 1 of the thermoplastic film.
  • the softening temperature ⁇ 2 is greater than 180 ° C.
  • the epoxy resin 3 applied by brush, roller, etc. will dry and polymerize, either at an ambient temperature of about 20 ° C, or at a temperature below ⁇ 1.
  • this resin can be softened only after heating to a temperature greater than or equal to 180 ° C, ie higher than its softening temperature.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 illustrate the placing and bonding of a reinforcing blank 10 on a Article 20 to be protected.
  • a blank 10 precut to the desired shape, is positioned on the article 20 so that the thermoplastic or fusible film 1 is located on the side of the article to 20.
  • the assembly is then placed in a press 30 and pressed hot to a temperature ⁇ 3 less than 180 ° C, and for example between 100 and 175 ° C if the resin is epoxy resin, under a pressure of a few bars, by lowering the upper plate 31 of the press.
  • the plate 31 is reassembled and the cooling is almost immediate.
  • the cooling means may be provided.
  • other means of hot pressing may be provided.
  • the film thermoplastic 1 which has softened during the hot pressing stage is reassembled in the 3b intervals located between two particles 3a of material 3 and thus provides excellent cohesion between the different particles 3a of materials, which are no longer likely to detach.
  • thermoplastic film thickness 1 these 3b intervals will be more or less full.
  • the reinforcement 15 then has a much more flexible structure, flexible and resistant to shocks.
  • the distance d between two platelets 3 a corresponds substantially to the thickness e of each wafer 3a, for example the thickness e is equal to 0.8mm, and in general, d is between 0.2mm and 1mm, and e is between 0.2 mm and 1 mm.
  • the structure of the wafers 3a is not modified since the temperature ⁇ 3 of hot pressing is less than the softening temperature ⁇ 2 of said platelets.
  • a layer of material foam 40 is interposed between the reinforcement 15 and the article to be protected 20, below the film thermoplastic 1.
  • This layer of foam may be made of polyurethane foam, polyolefin and have a thickness between 0.5 mm and 3 mm. It can also be a type of fabric three-dimensional bringing as well as foam, volume and damping shocks to all.
  • a foam thickness 40 of approximately 3 mm will be provided.
  • the foam 40 will preferably be pre-applied to the material to be protected, for example by sewing and / or gluing.
  • the foam layer is held in place by the film fusible 1 when gluing the blank on the article to be protected, in this case the layer of foam will have a smaller outline than that of the draft so as to be held in place by the overflowing parts of the film.
  • FIGS 6 to 7 illustrate the application of the reinforcement according to the invention to different articles.
  • the reinforcement 15 is applied to the lower legs 51 of a pants 50, inner or medial side of it.
  • the reinforcement 15 is applied at least partially on the rod 61 of a shoe 60.
  • the reinforcement 15 is applied to the end of each of the fingers 71 glove 70, palm side of the hand.
