Abstract

The undergarment has a woven fabric piece formed of four sections, where top section is open-necked at shoulders. Left and right sections are folded-up towards center of the undergarment, so that the left section is superimposed and attached to the right section to cover a chest of a child. A lower section is extended towards bottom of the undergarment, so as to be folded-up at its revolution on both the left and right sections. The lower section is attached to the left and right sections at a bottom of the garment by a Velcro(RTM: hook-and-loop fastener) band.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des vêtements pour enfants et porte plus précisément sur un sous-vêtement communément appelé « body » et utilisé par les nourrissons et les jeunes enfants.The present invention relates to the field of children's clothing and relates more specifically to an undergarment commonly known as " body " and used by infants and young children.

Ce sous-vêtement est constitué de plusieurs pièces de tissus, qui sont assemblées et cousues entre elles pour ne former qu'un seul ensemble.This undergarment consists of several pieces of fabric, which are assembled and sewn together to form a single set.

Ce sous-vêtement recouvre l'abdomen de l'enfant, entre le périnée et le cou, ainsi que les bras de celui-ci. À cet effet, ce sous-vêtement comporte donc des manches longues ou courtes. Les jambes de l'enfant ne sont par contre pas recouvertes par ce sous-vêtement.This undergarment covers the child's abdomen, between the perineum and the neck, as well as the arms of the latter. For this purpose, this underwear therefore has long or short sleeves. The legs of the child are not covered by this underwear.

Ce type de sous-vêtement peut être ouvert pour l'habillage et le déshabillage de l'enfant ainsi que pour le change de la couche-culotte.This type of undergarment can be opened for the dressing and undressing of the child as well as for the change of the diaper.

L'ouverture et la fermeture du bas de ce sous-vêtement sont généralement réalisées au moyen de boutons-pressions qui sont placés au niveau de l'entrejambe et qui désolidarisent les pans antérieur et postérieur du dit sous-vêtement.The opening and closing of the bottom of this undergarment are generally performed by means of snaps which are placed at the level of the crotch and which separate the front and rear panels of said undergarment.

Le système d'ouverture et de fermeture au moyen des boutons-pressions présente toutefois des inconvénients particuliers pour la personne qui procède aux manipulations d'habillage et/ou de change de l'enfant, notamment :

  • le fait que cette personne doive ouvrir et fermer chaque bouton-pression ;
  • le fait que cette personne doive utiliser ses deux mains pour ouvrir et fermer chaque bouton-pression ;
  • le fait que cette personne doive utiliser une certaine force pour ouvrir et fermer chaque bouton-pression ;
  • le fait que cette personne risque, lors de la fermeture et de l'ouverture de chaque bouton-pression, d'occasionner des déchirures dans le tissu du body.
The system of opening and closing by means of press-studs, however, has particular disadvantages for the person who makes the dressing and / or changes of the child, including:
  • the fact that this person must open and close each snap;
  • the fact that this person must use both hands to open and close each snap;
  • the fact that this person must use a certain force to open and close each snap;
  • the fact that this person risks, during the closing and opening of each snap, to cause tears in the fabric of the body.

En outre, l'emplacement des boutons-pressions, dans l'entrejambe, n'est ni pratique ni confortable pour l'enfant. Les manipulations d'ouverture et de fermeture du sous-vêtement requièrent que l'enfant se maintienne en position couchée sur le dos, les deux jambes en l'air.In addition, the location of snaps in the crotch is neither convenient nor comfortable for the child. The opening and closing manipulations of the undergarment require the child to be in a supine position with both legs in the air.

Enfin, la circonstance que le vêtement soit constitué de plusieurs pièces de tissus engendre des coûts de production non négligeables, dans la mesure où il est nécessaire de coudre toutes ces pièces ensemble.Finally, the fact that the garment consists of several pieces of fabric generates significant production costs, insofar as it is necessary to sew all these pieces together.

La présente invention tend à pallier ces divers inconvénients en proposant une seule pièce de tissu centrale, sur laquelle ne doivent plus être cousus que les manches éventuelles et les systèmes d'ouverture et de fermeture, ainsi qu'un système d'ouverture et de fermeture nouveau et différent, par rapport à l'art antérieur, tant par l'endroit où ledit système est localisé que par le moyen d'ouverture et de fermeture utilisé.

  • Contrairement à l'état antérieur, le body est constitué d'une seule pièce de tissu, faite de quatre pans, un pan inférieur, un pan supérieur, un pan gauche et un pan droit.
    Les quatre pans du body ne doivent donc plus être cousus ensemble.
    Les deux pans gauche et droit se rabattent vers le centre du vêtement, afin que le pan gauche se superpose et s'attache au pan droit.
    Le pan inférieur est prolongé vers le bas et échancré à hauteur de l'aine de l'enfant, pour servir de rabat.
  • Contrairement à l'art antérieur, l'ouverture et la fermeture ne sont plus localisées dans l'entrejambe de l'enfant.
    Le rabat placé sur le pan inférieur de l'enfant, qui est échancré dans l'aine de l'enfant, doit passer par l'entrejambe de l'enfant. Ce rabat doit en outre être accroché sur la partie antérieure ou « avant » du body, pour recouvrir le périnée et le bas de l'abdomen de l'enfant
  • Contrairement à l'art antérieur, l'ouverture et la fermeture ne sont plus réalisées au moyen de boutons-pressions.
    Le rabat dont question ci-dessus comprend à son extrémité une bande transversale de type « Velcro » ™ (système d'ouverture et de fermeture à boucles et crochets) qui doit s'accrocher à la bande complémentaire « Velcro » ™ placée sur la partie antérieure ou « avant » basse du body que forment les deux pans gauche et droit rabattus et accrochés ensemble. Cette bande complémentaire « Velcro » ™ est donc partiellement placée sur le pan gauche et le pan droit du body,
    L'accès au système d'ouverture et de fermeture du body est ainsi grandement facilité. Le geste d'ouverture et de fermeture est plus rapide et s'effectue à proximité immédiate de la couche à changer.
    D'autre part, l'échancrure prévue permet une liberté de mouvement pour les jambes de l'enfant.
The present invention tends to overcome these various disadvantages by providing a single piece of central fabric, on which should be sewn only the sleeves and any possible opening and closing systems, and a system of opening and closing new and different from the prior art, both by the location where said system is located and by the opening and closing means used.
  • Unlike the previous state, the body consists of a single piece of fabric, made of four panels, a lower pan, an upper pan, a left pan and a right pan.
    The four sides of the body should not be sewn together.
    The two left and right flaps fold towards the center of the garment, so that the left pan is superimposed and attaches to the right pan.
    The lower pan is extended down and notched at the height of the groin of the child, to serve as a flap.
  • Unlike the prior art, the opening and closing are no longer localized in the crotch of the child.
    The flap placed on the inferior part of the child, which is indented in the groin of the child, must pass through the crotch of the child. This flap must also be hung on the front or "front" of the body, to cover the perineum and the lower abdomen of the child
  • Unlike the prior art, the opening and closing are no longer performed by means of snaps.
    The flap which above matter comprises at its end a transverse strip of "Velcro" type ™ (opening and closing system hook and loop) to cling to the complementary band "Velcro" ™ placed on the part front or "front" low body that form the two left and right flaps folded and hung together. This complementary band "Velcro" ™ is partially placed on the left and right pan of the body,
    Access to the opening and closing system of the body is thus greatly facilitated. The opening and closing gesture is faster and is performed in the immediate vicinity of the layer to be changed.
    On the other hand, the notch provided provides freedom of movement for the legs of the child.

L'invention peut par ailleurs être mieux comprise à l'examen du dessin repris en annexe, lesquels ne sont fournis qu'à titre d'exemples.

  • La Fig. 1 représente deux bodies : le premier est le body réalisé suivant l'art antérieur, le second est le body réalisé suivant l'invention.
  • La Fig. 2 représente, en trois tableaux, les phases successives pour la fermeture du body.
The invention can also be better understood on examining the drawing in the appendix, which are provided only as examples.
  • The Fig. 1 represents two bodies: the first is the body made according to the prior art, the second is the body made according to the invention.
  • The Fig. 2 represents, in three tables, the successive phases for the closure of the body.

Les boutons-pressions repris sur le premier body sont remplacés par les deux bandes « Velcro » ™ complémentaires, la première bande étant placée sur le rabat, la seconde bande étant placée sur le pan arrière.The snap fasteners taken on the first body is replaced by two bands "Velcro" ™ Further, the first band being positioned on the flap, the second band being positioned on the back panel.

Enfin, l'invention est susceptible d'application industrielle dans la mesure où il peut être fabriqué par l'industrie textile.Finally, the invention is susceptible of industrial application insofar as it can be manufactured by the textile industry.
