Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of covers for the transport and or the protection of elongated sports articles.
  • the sporting articles in question here will for example be gliding machines such as skis, water ski boards, water surf boards or snowboards. These machines generally measure between 120 and 200 centimeters.
  • essentially rigid covers generally consisting of a plastic case.
  • the case is optionally composed of two tubular elements closed at one end and open to each other, the two elements being intended to fit one into the other.
  • the case can also be divided in two along a longitudinal plane, the two elements then possibly being articulated around a longitudinal axis such as a musical instrument case.
  • the essentially rigid covers are relatively heavy but they are particularly particularly bulky, including when not in use.
  • the covers are really necessary only during transport, even if they can also be used for storage. Often items are stored outside the cover, if only to allow them to dry properly. Also, the cover is not used and it appears useful that it occupies the least possible space.
  • the invention therefore aims to propose a new design of an essentially flexible cover that allows to store the cover as easily as possible when not in use, the cover then having a minimal footprint.
  • the invention provides an essentially flexible cover for an elongated sports article, of the type comprising an envelope which is intended to form a compartment of sufficient size to receive the sport article, of the type in which the envelope comprises a continuous tubular wall and a first and a second longitudinal end portion opposite, characterized in that the cover comprises attachment means which allow to attach the first end portion with a main portion of the casing in a folded configuration in which they delimit between them a reduced volume, and in that in this folded configuration, the portion of the tubular wall of the envelope which extends between the main portion and the first end portion are folded and contained within the reduced volume delimited by the first end portion and the main portion.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 illustrate a cover 10 which is in accordance with the teachings of the invention and which is for example intended to carry a pair of alpine skis.
  • This cover which is essentially a flexible cover, thus has a tubular shape whose maximum length is for example of the order of 190 cm and whose sectional dimensions are of the order of 15 to 25 cm. In this first illustrated example, the cover has an oval section. Of course, many other forms could be considered.
  • the cover 10 thus comprises an envelope made essentially of synthetic fabrics, this envelope comprising a tubular side wall 14 which is closed by a first longitudinal end portion 16 and a second longitudinal end portion 18 opposite to the first.
  • the second end portion 18 of the envelope (that in the background in the figures) is directly contiguous to a main portion 20 of the envelope, which is in this case formed of a terminal portion of the side wall 14 of the casing, and which is here provided with a gripping handle 22.
  • this main portion 20 is only a few centimeters long, for example between 5 and 15 cm, and is bounded longitudinally outwards by a transverse wall forming the second end portion 18, and inwardly by an inner edge along which is mounted a toothed ribbon 24 of a
  • the other toothed strip 28 of said slide fastener 26 is arranged near the first end portion 16, which is here simply formed of a transverse wall.
  • the second toothed strip 28 is thus arranged substantially along the intersection edge of the tubular side wall 14 with the transverse wall forming the first end portion 16.
  • the toothed ribbons 26, 28 are intended to be assembled to one another according to the well-known technique of zippers, in particular with the aid of a slider 30. In doing so, once assembled the one to the other, the first end portion 16 and the second end portion 18 are separated only by the length of the main portion 20, so that they delimit between them a reduced internal volume .
  • the tubular wall section 14 of the envelope which extends between the first end portion 16 and the main portion 20 is intended to be folded over and contained within the reduced volume.
  • the zipper 26 extends along a closed path around the circumference of the tubular wall 14, so that when closed, the reduced volume is a substantially closed volume.
  • the end portions 16, 18 and the main portion of the envelope are formed of reinforced fabrics and therefore have a semi-rigid character.
  • this reinforcement is of course advantageous in terms of strength and protection of the ends of gliding machines to be received in the cover.
  • the semi-rigid nature of these portions have the further advantage that the shape of the folded cover, as shown in Figure 2 is relatively stable and forms a kind of box inside which it is easy to fold the rest of the envelope.
  • folding it is of course not necessary that this folding be done methodically or according to predefined diagrams: the envelope can be simply "stuffed” inside the reduced volume . Note however that in this process, the envelope does not need to be turned on itself in the manner of a thermowell.
  • the assembly formed by the main portion 20 and the second end portion 18 delimits by itself a closed cavity on one side and in which the folding section of the flexible envelope can be progressively piled up, until the first end portion 16 is found near the main portion 20. It can then be fastened together by means of the closure 26, the first end portion 16 thus closing the foldable section of the envelope 14 inside the reduced volume in the manner of a lid.
  • the cover has a resealable opening to allow the introduction of the sports item or articles.
  • this opening is arranged in the foldable section of the tubular envelope 14, in the form of a longitudinal slot which is closed by a slide fastener 32.
  • Other embodiments may be envisaged, in particular providing an opening having another shape, or providing other means of closure.
  • the opening is arranged partly or wholly in one of the end portions 16, 18 and / or in the main portion 20.
  • the cover comprises a carrying strap which is attached at two points of the folding section of the envelope, so that the strap 34 is also intended to be folded and contained within the reduced volume when the cover is in folded configuration.
  • the cover has, in cross section, a polygonal shape, in this case a substantially rectangular shape.
  • a polygonal shape in this case a substantially rectangular shape.
  • any other form is conceivable.
  • the main portion 20 and the second end 18 of the envelope are substantially in the same manner as in the first embodiment, namely in the form of two semi-rigid portions that are not susceptible to be separated from each other.
  • the first end portion 16 comprises on the one hand a transverse wall 36, and on the other hand a tubular wall element 38 which, in the folded configuration of the cover, is intended to engage by longitudinal sliding inside the main portion, so that both ends and the main portion define the reduced volume as shown in Figure 4.
  • the sectional dimensions of the first end 16 are slightly smaller than the dimensions in section of the main portion 20 in which it fits.
  • the cover always has the tubular side wall section 14 which extends from the first end 16 to the main portion 20 and which is intended to be received within the reduced volume.
  • the walls 36, 38 of the first end portion 16 form a concave assembly similar to the concave assembly formed by the main portion 20 bonded to the second end portion 18.
  • the fastening means that maintain the first end 16 attached to the main portion 20 are made in the form of self-gripping strips 40, 42 complementary (known for example under the brand Velcro). Other means may be used, such as bands with snaps.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a variant of the first embodiment of the invention, in which the second end portion 18 is not permanently integral with the main portion 20 but, on the contrary, is constructed in a manner that is perfectly analogous to the first end portion 16.
  • the main portion 20 is substantially in the middle of the cover in the longitudinal direction when it is in unfolded position.
  • the attachment means of the second end 18 consist of a slide fastener identical to that 26 which allows the attachment of the first end portion 16.
  • the two end portions 16, 18 and their attachment means 26 are substantially identical. However one could for example provide that one of the end portions is constructed as in the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, and that the other end portion is constructed according to the principle of the embodiment of FIGS. to 5. Similarly, all types of attachment means may be provided, possibly different for the two end portions.
  • At least one of the end portions or of the main portion to be partially or completely made of rigid material, for example of molded plastics material.
  • This possibly rigid or semi-rigid nature of certain parts of the cover does not prevent that the cover can be considered as being essentially flexible insofar as the greater part of the lateral tubular wall 14 of the envelope is well flexible, so that it can be folded easily.
  • these main or end portions comprise cushioning materials such as foam, to better protect the sports articles or articles contained in the cover.
  • portions 16, 18, 20 of the cover which define the reduced volume are also portions of the envelope which delimit the compartment in the cover in which the sport article is received. These portions therefore have a dual function, one when the cover is unfolded and the other when folded. There is therefore an optimal use of the material, which favors the gains of weight and costs.
  • the folded cover is in a particularly compact form, easy to store.
