Definitions

  • the invention relates to clothing, especially water sports clothing, such as than those adapted to the practice of nautical or underwater activities such as surfing, windsurfing, diving, etc ...
  • These garments may cover the upper body, lower body, or, in the case of combinations, cover both the top and the bottom of the body.
  • Combinations usually have a main part that covers the bust and the user's pool. This main part is completed by extensions (sleeves and legs) which are intended to cover, at least partially, the arms and legs of the user. They may also comprise, at the level of a passage opening of the head, a collar or 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 "Neoprene”), these materials can be combined with one another different places of the same garment. Depending on the choice of these materials, these clothes can offer protection against the cold, against shocks, against the sun, etc ...
  • the invention proposes a garment for aquatic sports, of the type having a main part intended to cover the torso and / or the pelvis of a user, as well as extensions (for example substantially tubular) intended to cover the least partially each a member of the user, of the type in which the garment has, at least at the end of an extension, at least one sign end of cellular material, said end panel of cellular material forming at least a portion of an end edge of the extension, characterized in that the panel end of the extension has a relaxed zone in which are arranged a series of grooves, said grooves being arranged in a substantially general direction oriented along the general axis of the extension.
  • the thickness of the cellular material is reduced at the bottom of the grooves.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a combination 10 having a main portion 12 covering the bust and pelvis of a user.
  • This main part 12 thus comprises a front face 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.
  • the orifice 20 for the passage of the head has the shape of a tubular collar which is intended to back up along the user's neck.
  • the combination also includes extensions, in this case sleeves 22 and legs 24, which are intended to cover respectively the arms and legs of a user.
  • the sleeves and the legs of the suit are long so as to cover the user respectively up to the wrists and ankles.
  • the combination is for example essentially made of cellular material such as Polychloroprene foam, in the form of panels assembled together. These panels may have different thicknesses or characteristics (coating, elasticity, etc .%) according to their positioning on the garment.
  • the combination can also have inserts of different materials for example in the form of fabrics elastic.
  • the combination is preferably a wet suit perfectly adjusted to the body of the user.
  • this one is provided with an opening (not shown) which can for example be arranged in the form of a cut made in the main part, this cutout being further provided with closure means (not shown) such as a zipper.
  • FIG 3 there is shown the end of a sleeve 22 of the combination. All as the legs 24 of the suit, the sleeves 22 are in the form of substantially tubular extensions of the main part of the suit, so that they have a general axis corresponding to the length of the corresponding member of the user.
  • the end of the sleeve 22 is made in the form of two panels 26, 28: an inner panel 26 (arranged on the wrist side in the extension of the palm of the hand) and an outer panel 28.
  • the two panels are polychloroprene foam panels (possibly lined on a or on both sides of an extensible textile) joined together by two seams 30.
  • the two panels 26, 28 open into the end edge 32 of the sleeve 22, that is to say that said edge is formed by edges of these two panels.
  • end of the sleeve (or leg) can be envisaged, in particular by modifying the patronage.
  • This end can be thus composed of a single panel closed on itself by a longitudinal seam, by a single annular seamless panel, or other panel assembly, for example using panels of different materials.
  • one of these panels in this case the inner panel 26, presents a relaxed zone 19 having a series of grooves 34 oriented globally according to the longitudinal direction of the sleeve 22.
  • the series of grooves 34 has grooves of different lengths, but preferably all the grooves open into the edge 32 of the sleeve. Moreover, it is planned in the embodiment of the invention that the edge of the panel 26 into which the grooves is devoid of the edge of protection 38 which is provided with the corresponding edge of the other sign 28.
  • the grooves 34 are formed by portions of lower thickness of the panel 26, the residual thickness of the material at the groove 34 being of course inversely proportional to the depth of the groove.
  • the depth of a groove can vary along its length. Preferably, this variation of depth is done in such a way that the groove is deeper near the edge 32 of the sleeve, and less and less deep as one moves away from the edge. Possibly this depth can vary gradually until the groove disappears.
  • all grooves of the series have substantially the same depth.
  • we can see that some of the grooves may be more deeper than others. In this case, we can see that the groove or grooves transversely at the center of the series are deeper than the lateral grooves arranged on either side of these central grooves. In this way, it is possible to provide that the grooves more extreme of the series are barely marked.
  • the deepest grooves may have a greater depth at 80% of the thickness of the panel 26.
  • the grooves have a substantially identical width, and they are spaced from each other by a constant interval. However, one could predict that the grooves are of different widths and / or have intervals between them different.
  • the grooves are substantially rectilinear and parallel. However, one could predict that the grooves are non-rectilinear, and / or non-parallel, as long as their divergent general orientation remains overall in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve 22. Grooves whose general orientation is shifted by about 20 degrees from the longitudinal direction of the sleeve will retain the same technical effect.
  • the grooves 34 make it possible to soften the zone of the sleeve end on which they are arranged.
  • Each groove in the honeycomb material forms, by its Thicker, a hinge that allows the material to flex around an axis corresponding to the direction of the groove.
  • the series of grooves 34 forms a series of hinges close together, so that the area thus relaxed will be able to marry at best the different curvatures of the corresponding portion of the user's body, including during this one is active, which causes important modifications of the geometry of its body as is the case at the joints.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a second embodiment of the invention in which the zone The softened end of the sleeve has not one but two sets of grooves.
  • the first series of grooves 34 is, as in the previous example, oriented substantially according to the general axis of the sleeve 22.
  • the second series of grooves 36 is it oriented in another direction.
  • the second series 36 is oriented substantially perpendicular to the first, so that the two series of grooves 34, 36 intersect and form a kind of grid.
  • the second set of grooves 36 is shown here in the form of parallel grooves, but all embodiments envisaged above for the first series of grooves 34 may also be implemented for producing the second series of grooves 36.
  • the relaxed area only extends over a half circumference from the end of the tubular sleeve.
  • the softened zones arranged at the ends have been described more particularly. sleeves 22 of the suit, that is to say near the wrists of the user.
  • the same means can be put in with the same advantages, to create relaxed areas at the end legs 24 of the combination, that is to say near the ankles.
  • the softened zone will then be arranged in priority on the rear of the circumference corresponding to the ankle, so as to cover the Achilles tendon of the user and the adjacent areas.
  • the invention also covers the case where the same type of grooves is used at the level of the zone neckline, which is an extension of the garment intended to partially cover the neck of the user, with therefore a generally vertical general orientation of the grooves.
  • the grooves according to the invention will for example be arranged on the rear part of the neck.
  • the foam panels of polychloroprene being obtained by expansion molding, it is conceivable that the grooves are obtained directly during molding. It can also be provided that the grooves are obtained simply by removal of material in a plate of cellular material of uniform thickness, for example by chemical means.
  • the grooves be carried out according to a technique similar to quilting, that is to say by providing that a seam is made at the location of the groove by compressing the material locally under the seam, thus forming the groove.
  • the grooves are obtained by a thermoforming process with compression of material, also called embossing, starting from a panel of alveolar material initially thick constant.
  • this thermoforming is carried out on a plate of polychloroprene lined on both sides with an extensible textile.
  • This thermoforming may be performed according to any known technique, on one side or on both sides of the panel as described in US-6,623,839.
  • This guy of thermoforming is known for the realization of bending folds at the knees and elbows combinations, the bending folds then being parallel to the axis of the joint corresponding.
  • the illustrated combination comprises such folds of bending arranged at the neckline 20 to increase the mobility of the neck of the user.
  • These bending folds 40, 42 are respectively arranged on the front face 14 and on the rear face 16 of the garment, just at the base of the neckline 20, and comprise one or more parallel grooves oriented in a generally horizontal direction.
  • thermoforming has the advantage of not reduce the amount of material present under the grooves, the latter being in a state compressed.
  • thermoforming for the realization of the grooves. Indeed, we realized that the material compressed by thermoforming exhibited resistance to elongation in superior traction to uncompressed material. This feature does not prevent the groove from playing its hinge role, as described above. On the other hand, it decreases the elongation capacity of the material in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve (or leg of the garment). Paradoxically, this slight elongation according to the direction Longitudinal allows the hand (or foot) to pass through the portion of the sections narrowed that is usually the end of the sleeve (or the leg of the garment).
  • the hand when the material is very elastic in the longitudinal direction, the hand, more than the section provided for the wrist, tends to remain locked at the wrist moment of donning the garment, and the elasticity of the material tends to absorb all the energy implementation to try to get the hand.
  • the longitudinal elasticity of the material in the end zone of the sleeve (or leg) without significantly affecting its ability to stretch radially, the passage of the hand (foot) is more frank, allowing a better in place of the garment.
