Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a reinforcement, in particular for an article of textile material or the like such as clothing (bag, shoe, etc.) and intended for protection in particular 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 exposed parts with an additional yarn made of high tenacity polyamide as known under the trade name Cordura.
  • He is also known by the US 6,044,493 to provide a non-slip protective coating on the palm of a glove by PVC coating, that is to say application of this material in liquid form and drying.
  • This extra thickness also prevents a smooth and continuous surface and therefore constitutes a "hooking" zone weakening said reinforcement.
  • sewn inserts require recovery operations and may cause additional sealing problems if they are applied to waterproof clothing, the seams then to be sealed.
  • the FR 2,838,303 proposes to use a reinforcement constituted by a simple thermoplastic film provided with a thermocollante face and applied under hot and under pressure on the outer face of the garment.
  • An object of the present invention is to improve a reinforcement of this type to make it even more resistant to cutting and abrasion.
  • the reinforcement according to the present invention which is intended to be hot assembled at a temperature ⁇ 3 on an article, in that it consists of a thermoplastic adhesive film having a bonding temperature ⁇ 1, provided with on the inner side of a heat-sealing face and, on the outer side, of a discontinuous application of abrasion-resistant material having a softening temperature ⁇ 2, greater than the bonding temperature ⁇ 1 of the thermoplastic film, and in that the temperature ⁇ 3 reinforcement assembly is between ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2.
  • thermoplastic film softens and adheres to the article to be reinforced, simultaneously the thermoplastic film fills the gaps between the pieces of abrasion-resistant material and thus ensures excellent cohesion of the film composite thermoplastic / material resistant to abrasion.
  • a very flexible and flexible reinforcement is obtained, having a very smooth upper surface and an abrasion resistance significantly increased by the pieces / particle of abrasion-resistant material.
  • the construction of such a reinforcement is inexpensive since the abrasion resistant material is applied by inexpensive means, such as screen printing, and it is during the assembly / bonding of the reinforcement to the article to reinforce, that the reinforcement itself is finished.
  • the 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, on which is applied by screen printing, that is to say through a screen 2, a discontinuous coating of material 3 resistant to abrasion.
  • 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. figure 1 or by any other means of application used in screen printing such as roll, buffer, etc.
  • the reinforcing blank 10 is then in the form of a flexible film having discontinuous platelets 3a of abrasion resistant material 3.
  • 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 wires 2b forming the meshes 2a.
  • any other form of mesh may be provided.
  • the thermoplastic film 1 may be a polyurethane, polyamide, polyester, polyolefin or polyvinyl chloride film.
  • this thermoplastic film has a different softening temperature.
  • the bonding temperature ⁇ 1 of said film will be greater than the softening temperature.
  • the temperature ⁇ 1 of bonding can vary between 100 and 185 ° C.
  • thermoplastic films used can be, for example, adhesive films sold by the company Bermis under the trade names "Dewface”, “Clarese”, or by the West Bridgford Machine Company or Ardmel. They have a thickness of between 100 and 400 microns.
  • the reinforcing blank 10 may be protected by at least one non-adhering paper (not shown in the drawing) disposed on the side of the adhesive film, and intended to prevent inadvertent bonding of said film.
  • the abrasion resistant material 3 consists for example of epoxy resin, or any other thermosetting resin (silicone, cross-linked polyurethane (PUR)) filled with fiberglass, carbon, aramid, etc.
  • epoxy resin or any other thermosetting resin (silicone, cross-linked polyurethane (PUR)) filled with fiberglass, carbon, aramid, etc.
  • PUR cross-linked polyurethane
  • This resin has a softening temperature ⁇ 2 which is chosen to be greater than the bonding 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 the order of 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 gluing of a reinforcing blank 10 on an article 20 to be protected.
  • a blank 10 pre-cut to the desired shape, is positioned on the article 20 so that the thermoplastic or heat-sealing film 1 is located on the side of the article to be reinforced 20.
  • the assembly is then placed in a press 30 and hot pressed at a temperature ⁇ 3 of less than 180 ° C, and for example between 100 and 175 ° C if the resin is epoxy resin, at a pressure of a few bars, by lowering the upper plate 31 of the press.
  • the plate 31 is raised and the cooling is almost immediate.
  • additional cooling means may be provided.
  • other means of hot pressing can be provided.
  • thermoplastic film 1 which has softened during the heat-pressing step is raised in the gaps 3b situated between two particles 3a of material 3 and thus ensures excellent cohesion between the various particles 3a of materials, who are no longer in danger of detaching themselves.
  • thermoplastic film thickness 1 these intervals 3b will be more or less filled.
  • the reinforcement 15 then has a much more flexible structure, flexible and resistant to shocks.
  • the distance d separating two wafers 3a substantially corresponds to the thickness e of each wafer 3a, for example the thickness e is equal to 0.8 mm, and in general, d is between 0.2 mm and 1 mm, and e is between 0.2 mm and 1 mm.
  • the structure of the wafers 3a is not modified since the hot pressing temperature ⁇ 3 is lower than the softening temperature ⁇ 2 of said wafers.
  • a layer of foam material 40 is interposed between the reinforcement 15 and the article to be protected 20, below the thermoplastic film 1.
  • This foam layer may be polyurethane foam, polyolefin and have a thickness between 0.5 mm and 3 mm. It can also be a three-dimensional type fabric bringing the same as the foam, volume and shock absorption to the whole.
  • a foam thickness 40 of about 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 heat-sealing film 1 during bonding of the blank to the article to be protected, in this case the foam layer will have a smaller contour than that of the draft to be held in place by the overflowing parts of the film.
  • the reinforcement 15 is applied to the bottom of the legs 51 of a pair of trousers 50, on the inner or medial side thereof.
  • the reinforcement 15 is applied at least partially on the shaft 61 of a shoe 60.
  • the reinforcement 15 is applied to the end of each of the fingers 71 of a glove 70, palm side of the hand.
