Description

VÊTEMENT A DOUBLE CONFIGURATION, ETANCHE ET AEREE DOUBLE CONFIGURATION CLOTHES, SEALED AND AIRCRAFT
La présente invention est relative à un vêtement tel qu'une veste, un pantalon ou encore une combinaison. Ce vêtement sera notamment porté pour les activités sportives ou les loisirs tels que ceux pratiqués en milieu marin, par exemple pour les promenades en bateau, pour la pêche ou encore pour les promenades en bordure de mer, mais aussi pour la montagne, la pêche, les sapeurs pompier.The present invention relates to a garment such as a jacket, pants or a combination. This garment will be worn especially for sports activities or recreation such as those practiced in the marine environment, for example for boat trips, for fishing or for walks along the sea, but also for the mountains, fishing, firemen.
Les vêtements utilisés pour la pratique d'activités en milieu nautique sont généralement réalisés dans un matériau textile étanche à l'eau afin de protéger convenablement l'utilisateur contre les filtrations d'eau pouvant occasionner une gêne et rendre désagréable la pratique de l'activité. Lors de la pratique d'une activité sportive ou physique, dans des conditions atmosphériques favorables, par exemple lors de beau temps ou lors d'un vent de faible force, les personnes portant le vêtement sont susceptibles de ressentir des échauffements et une montée en température du corps humain. Dans ces conditions, l'utilisateur souhaite avantageusement porter des vêtements avec des ouvertures pour le passage des extrémités du corps suffisamment amples, favorisant l'aération et la ventilation à l'intérieur de ce vêtement afin de limiter la transpiration du corps, et également de laisser toute liberté de mouvements, notamment au niveau des bras et des jambes, de la tête.The clothing used for the practice of activities in a nautical environment are generally made of a watertight textile material in order to adequately protect the user against water filtrations that can cause discomfort and make the practice of the activity unpleasant. . When practicing a sporting or physical activity, under favorable weather conditions, for example during good weather or during a wind of weak force, people wearing the garment are likely to experience overheating and a rise in temperature of the human body. Under these conditions, the user desirably wishes to wear clothes with openings for the passage of the ends of the body sufficiently wide, promoting ventilation and ventilation inside the garment to limit perspiration of the body, and also to allow freedom of movement, especially in the arms and legs, the head.
Inversement, lors de conditions climatiques défavorables, comme par exemple lors de fortes pluies, lors de vents forts ou, en milieu marin, lors d'une mer agitée où les vagues sont susceptibles de passer au dessus des bateaux, il est alors souhaitable de porter des vêtements fermés pour éviter toute pénétration de l'eau et, éventuellement, de limiter le passage de l'air à l'intérieur du vêtement. Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, les personnes pratiquant ce genre de loisir ou d'activité, se munissent généralement de plusieurs types de vêtements adaptés en fonction des conditions climatiques, ce qui a pour conséquence d'encombrer la personne durant la pratique de son activité. II est connu certains types de vêtements comme ceux décrits dans les brevets FR 2.232.280, FR 2.138.286, EP 0.245.947, ou encore le brevet US 3.214.771 qui proposent des vêtements adaptables en fonction des conditions d'utilisation ou des conditions climatiques. Dans les brevets FR 2.232.280 et US 3.214.771, il est divulgué en particulier un vêtement de type veste dont les extrémités des manches comportent chacune une poche rapportée sur la face extérieure desdites manches. Ces poches reçoivent en particulier des gants qui sont fixés partiellement par rapport aux extrémités de manches, par exemple au moyen d'une couture ou d'une fermeture positionnée à l'intérieur de ces poches. Lorsque les conditions climatiques sont favorables, les gants peuvent donc rester rangés à l'intérieur des poches. Au contraire, lorsque les conditions climatiques sont défavorables, l'utilisateur a alors la possibilité de sortir les gants desdites poches et de les porter aux mains ; ces gants sont alors positionnés dans le prolongement du conduit des manches au travers desquelles passent les mains de la personne portant le vêtement.Conversely, during adverse weather conditions, such as during heavy rain, during strong winds or, in the sea, during rough seas where waves are likely to pass over boats, it is then desirable to wear closed clothing to prevent water penetration and possibly limit the passage of air inside the garment. To remedy this drawback, people practicing this kind of leisure or activity, are usually provided with several types of clothing adapted to the climatic conditions, which has the effect of encumbering the person during the practice of his activity. Certain types of clothing are known, such as those described in patents FR 2,232,280, FR 2,138,286, EP 0,245,947, or US Pat. No. 3,214,771, which proposes clothing that can be adapted according to the conditions of use or the weather conditions. In FR 2,232,280 and US 3,214,771, it is disclosed in particular a jacket-type clothing whose ends each sleeve has a pocket attached to the outer face of said sleeves. These pockets in particular receive gloves which are partially fixed relative to the ends of the sleeves, for example by means of a seam or a closure positioned inside these pockets. When weather conditions are favorable, the gloves can be stored inside the pockets. On the contrary, when the weather conditions are unfavorable, the user then has the opportunity to take the gloves out of said pockets and carry them to the hands; these gloves are then positioned in the extension of the duct of the sleeves through which pass the hands of the person wearing the garment.
La demande de brevet FR 2.138.286 divulgue un vêtement de type blouse munie de deux manches dont les extrémités comportent des gants, ces blouses étant en particulier utilisées comme vêtement de protection des mains lors de la réalisation de travaux, par exemple contre les salissures ou les blessures. Ces manches se terminent par des gants et disposent d'une ouverture partielle latérale située au niveau des poignets ; cette ouverture partielle latérale permet de replier le gant sur lui-même et de le fixer par exemple au moyen d'un bouton de pression sur le coté de la manche. Ainsi, le vêtement permet de plier les gants pour les dégager des mains et faciliter la manipulation au cours d'une intervention minutieuse.The patent application FR 2,188,286 discloses a garment type blouse with two sleeves whose ends include gloves, these gowns being used in particular as a hand protection garment when performing work, for example against dirt or the wounds. These sleeves end with gloves and have a partial lateral opening at the wrists; this lateral partial opening makes it possible to fold the glove on itself and to fix it for example by means of a button of pressure on the side of the sleeve. Thus, the garment makes it possible to fold the gloves to free them from the hands and to facilitate the handling during a meticulous intervention.
Le brevet européen EP 0.245.097 divulgue une construction de manche pour des vêtements, la manche comprenant à son extrémité un gant défini dans le prolongement du conduit de la manche. L'extrémité de la manche comprend sur une partie de son périmètre un panneau agencé de manière à se rabattre le long d'une pliure, définie suivant ce périmètre, pour passer d'une position fermée à une position ouverte. En position fermée, le panneau est rabattu sur la manche de manière à former le revêtement en forme de gant pour la main. Tandis qu'en position ouverte, la forme du gant est rabattue sur la face externe de la manche ; le panneau prend la forme d'un conduit qui est replié sur lui-même de manière à couvrir et ranger le gant sous ledit panneau constituant, de cette façon, une poche de rangement du gant.European patent EP 0,245,097 discloses a sleeve construction for clothing, the sleeve comprising at its end a glove defined in the extension of the duct of the sleeve. The end of the sleeve comprises on a portion of its perimeter a panel arranged so as to fold down along a fold, defined along this perimeter, to pass a closed position to an open position. In the closed position, the panel is folded down on the sleeve so as to form the glove-shaped coating for the hand. While in the open position, the shape of the glove is folded on the outer face of the sleeve; the panel takes the form of a duct which is folded on itself so as to cover and store the glove under said panel constituting, in this way, a glove storage pocket.
Les documents cités ci-dessus ont donc pour fonction de concevoir des vêtements permettant l'utilisation de ceux-ci soit en laissant les mains à l'air libre, soit en les recouvrant par exemple au moyen d'un gant, ledit gant étant rabattable sur la face externe de l'extrémité de la manche et pouvant être maintenu en position rabattue, soit au moyen d'une fixation du type bouton pression ou du type adhésif, ou encore au moyen d'une poche, ledit gant étant disposé dans la poche. Ces différents vêtements sont donc en particulier prévus pour protéger les mains et permettre de dégager la partie en forme de gant de la main, par exemple pour permettre de manipuler plus facilement les objets, ou tout simplement pour ne pas se protéger les mains lorsque les températures sont douces.The documents cited above therefore have the function of designing clothes allowing the use thereof either leaving the hands in the open air, or covering them for example by means of a glove, said glove being foldable on the outer face of the end of the sleeve and can be held in the folded position, either by means of a fastener type snap or adhesive type, or by means of a pocket, said glove being disposed in the poached. These different clothes are therefore particularly intended to protect the hands and allow to release the glove-shaped part of the hand, for example to make it easier to handle objects, or simply not to protect hands when temperatures are sweet.
Ces différentes conceptions présentent pour inconvénient de disposer la partie gantée, sur la face externe de la manche, lorsque celle-ci est repliée sur elle-même. Selon ces dispositions, les manches présentent des plis ou des bourrelets susceptibles de gêner les mouvements convenables de la personne portant le vêtement. En effet, lorsque la personne effectue des mouvements, les extrémités des manches, comprenant des plis ou éventuellement une poche pour enfermer le gant, peuvent éventuellement se prendre et s'accrocher sur des obstacles environnants.These different designs have the disadvantage of arranging the gloved portion on the outer face of the sleeve when it is folded on itself. According to these provisions, the sleeves have folds or bulges likely to hinder the proper movements of the person wearing the garment. Indeed, when the person performs movements, the ends of the sleeves, including folds or possibly a pocket to enclose the glove, can eventually catch and hang on surrounding obstacles.
Les différents vêtements décrits dans ces brevets, prévoient une manche de vêtement dont le conduit, au travers duquel passe la main, peut recevoir un gant positionné dans le prolongement de ce conduit. Une telle mise en œuvre prévoit donc de disposer d'un vêtement multifonctionnel qui permet soit de laisser les mains à l'air libre soit de protéger les mains par des gants. Ces conceptions présentent pour inconvénient de devoir manipuler le vêtement avec les deux mains afin d'adapter les manches selon le premier mode ou le second mode l'utilisation. En effet, pour disposer la partie gantée sur la main passant au travers du conduit de manche, la personne portant le vêtement, doit saisir ladite partie gantée avec l'autre main et adapter celle-ci sur le corps en la positionnant convenablement, dans l'axe du conduit de la manche et pour cela, ladite personne doit préalablement détacher ou sortir le gant de la poche, puis le déplier afin de permettre son positionnement dans l'axe du conduit de la manche. Le retrait et le repliage du gant, pour une utilisation suivant le second mode, nécessitent également d'utiliser la seconde main. En outre, on connaît le document US 6.035.441 qui décrit un vêtement du type manche, celle-ci étant prolongée par un conduit qui présente une première ouverture à l'une de ses extrémités pour le passage de certains doigts de la main, à savoir l'index, le majeur, l'annulaire et l'auriculaire. Le vêtement comprend par ailleurs une deuxième ouverture réalisée sur ledit premier conduit, au niveau de laquelle est rapportée par couture un deuxième conduit à l'intérieur duquel le pouce de la main peut pénétrer. Le premier conduit est apte à être replié sur lui-même et sur l'extrémité de la manche pour réaliser au moins un pli de manière à dégager ledit conduit et laisser la main à l'air libre, et à dissimuler le deuxième conduit qui est disposé sous le premier conduit replié. Ce premier et ce second conduit constituent un élément de type gant ou mitaine permettant de recouvrir, de manière ajustée, la main et au moins une partie des doigts. Ces deux conduits sont utilisés simultanément et permettent la réception de deux parties du corps distinctes, le premier conduit recevant l'index, le majeur, l'annulaire et l'auriculaire, tandis que le second conduit reçoit le pouce. Lorsque le premier conduit est replié sur lui-même pour laisser la main à l'air libre, celui-ci est disposé autour de l'extrémité de la manche. Par conséquent, la manche et le premier conduit replié sont resserrés autour du poignet de la main lorsque celle-ci est laissée à l'air libre, ce qui empêche d'aérer le vêtement en laissant un espace d'aération entre ladite manche et le corps de la personne. Le but de la présente invention, à la différence de l'art antérieur, est d'obtenir un vêtement multifonctionnel qui permet l'adaptation en fonction des conditions climatiques afin d'obtenir au moins deux modes d'utilisation pour lesquels la partie du corps passe au travers de l'extrémité du vêtement en restant libre, c'est-à-dire en contact avec le milieu ambiant, le vêtement étant soit aéré soit étanche autour du corps qui traverse ladite extrémité.The different garments described in these patents, provide a sleeve of clothing whose conduit, through which passes the hand, can receive a glove positioned in the extension of this conduit. Such an implementation therefore provides for a multifunctional garment that allows either to leave the hands in the open or to protect the hands with gloves. These designs have the disadvantage of having to handle the garment with both hands to fit the sleeves in the first mode or the second mode use. Indeed, to arrange the gloved portion on the hand passing through the sleeve channel, the person wearing the garment, must grasp said gloved portion with the other hand and adapt it to the body by positioning it properly, in the axis of the duct of the sleeve and for this, said person must first detach or remove the glove from the pocket, and then unfold to allow its positioning in the axis of the duct of the sleeve. The removal and folding of the glove, for use in the second mode, also require the use of the second hand. In addition, document US Pat. No. 6,035,441 describes a garment of the sleeve type, the latter being extended by a duct which has a first opening at one of its ends for the passage of certain fingers of the hand, to know the index, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. The garment further comprises a second opening made on said first duct, at which is connected by sewing a second duct within which the thumb of the hand can penetrate. The first conduit is adapted to be folded on itself and on the end of the sleeve to achieve at least one fold so as to clear said conduit and leave the hand in the open air, and to hide the second conduit which is disposed under the first folded conduit. This first and second conduit is a glove or mitten-type element for covering, in a controlled manner, the hand and at least a portion of the fingers. These two ducts are used simultaneously and allow the reception of two distinct parts of the body, the first duct receiving the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger, while the second duct receives the thumb. When the first conduit is folded on itself to leave the hand in the open air, it is arranged around the end of the sleeve. Consequently, the sleeve and the first folded duct are tightened around the wrist of the hand when it is left in the open air, which prevents ventilation of the garment by leaving a ventilation space between said sleeve and the sleeve. body of the person. The object of the present invention, unlike the prior art, is to obtain a multifunctional garment that allows the adaptation according to the climatic conditions to obtain at least two modes of use for which the body part passes through the end of the garment while remaining free, that is to say in contact with the ambient environment, the garment being either ventilated or tight around the body which passes through said end.
Par ailleurs, la présente invention présente l'avantage de pouvoir adapter le vêtement pour augmenter l'étanchéité autour de la partie du corps qui traverse l'extrémité du vêtement, voire même isoler complètement ladite partie du corps par rapport au milieu ambiant.Furthermore, the present invention has the advantage of being able to adapt the garment to increase the seal around the body part that passes through the end of the garment, or even completely isolate said body part relative to the environment.
L'invention a également pour but de réduire le temps d'adaptation du vêtement d'un premier mode d'utilisation au second mode d'utilisation, en minimisant la manipulation du vêtement lors de son adaptation.The invention also aims to reduce the adaptation time of the garment from a first mode of use to the second mode of use, minimizing the handling of the garment during its adaptation.
La conception du vêtement selon l'invention présente pour avantage d'assurer une étanchéité de l'ensemble du vêtement lors de son adaptation pour une utilisation de celui-ci en tant que vêtement étanche. Et inversement, le vêtement permet de favoriser le passage de l'air lorsque celui-ci est utilisé comme vêtement aéré.The design of the garment according to the invention has the advantage of ensuring a seal of the entire garment during its adaptation for use thereof as a waterproof garment. And conversely, the garment helps promote the passage of air when it is used as airy clothing.
Un autre avantage de la présente invention est de concevoir un vêtement multifonctionnalité qui offre une très bonne aération et ventilation du corps lors d'une activité intensive au cours de laquelle la personne portant le vêtement doit disposer d'une grande liberté de mouvement.Another advantage of the present invention is to design a multifunctional garment that provides very good ventilation and ventilation of the body during an intensive activity during which the person wearing the garment must have great freedom of movement.
La présente invention permet également de réduire voire supprimer la formation de bourrelets ou de surépaisseurs au niveau des extrémités des vêtements, évitant ainsi d'accrocher ledit vêtement lors de la pratique d'une activité sportive ou intensive.The present invention also makes it possible to reduce or even eliminate the formation of bulges or overthickness at the ends of the garments, thus avoiding hanging the garment during the practice of a sports or intensive activity.
A ce sujet, l'invention concerne un vêtement comprenant un premier conduit présentant une première ouverture à l'une de ses extrémités pour le passage d'une partie du corps, selon un premier mode d'utilisation, et une seconde ouverture débouchant dans ledit premier conduit. En outre, le vêtement comprend un second conduit débouchant dans le premier conduit par la seconde ouverture, ce second conduit permettant le passage de la même partie du corps, selon un second mode d'utilisation.In this regard, the invention relates to a garment comprising a first duct having a first opening at one of its ends for the passage of a portion of the body, according to a first mode of use, and a second opening opening into said first conduit. In addition, the garment includes a second duct opening into the first conduit through the second opening, this second conduit allowing the passage of the same part of the body, according to a second mode of use.
Le vêtement est remarquable en ce que le premier conduit présente un diamètre agencé pour maintenir un espace entre la partie du corps et sa paroi interne, ce qui assure la ventilation à l'intérieur du vêtement lorsque celui-ci est utilisé selon le premier mode d'utilisation. Selon ce premier mode d'utilisation, le second conduit est apte à être replié sur lui-même et rabattu à l'intérieur du premier conduit ; il peut toutefois être laissé à l'extérieur du premier conduit, dans quel cas il serait de préférence immobilisé sur celui-ci. Par ailleurs, ce second conduit est réalisé dans un matériau étanche et extensible, et il est rapporté de manière étanche sur le premier conduit. Ce second conduit présente un diamètre agencé pour épouser la forme de la partie du corps qu'il est destiné à recevoir, en assurant une étanchéité du vêtement selon ce second mode d'utilisation. Le premier conduit comprend un moyen de fermeture qui est agencé pour assurer la fermeture étanche de celui-ci, notamment lorsque le vêtement est utilisé selon le second mode d'utilisation. Par ailleurs, ces moyens de fermeture sont agencés pour éventuellement maintenir serrés et en contact l'ouverture du premier conduit, au niveau de son extrémité, avec la partie du corps insérée au travers de celui-ci, lorsqu'il est utilisé selon le premier mode d'utilisation.The garment is remarkable in that the first duct has a diameter arranged to maintain a space between the body part and its inner wall, which ensures ventilation inside the garment when it is used according to the first embodiment. 'use. According to this first mode of use, the second conduit is adapted to be folded on itself and folded inside the first conduit; it may, however, be left outside the first conduit, in which case it would preferably be immobilized thereon. Furthermore, this second conduit is made of a tight and extensible material, and is sealed in the first conduit. This second conduit has a diameter arranged to match the shape of the part of the body that it is intended to receive, ensuring a tightness of the garment according to this second mode of use. The first conduit comprises a closure means which is arranged to ensure the tight closure thereof, especially when the garment is used according to the second mode of use. Moreover, these closure means are arranged to possibly keep tight and in contact the opening of the first conduit, at its end, with the body part inserted through it, when it is used according to the first how to use.
De manière préférentielle, l'extrémité du premier conduit est inclinée ; cette inclinaison permet d'éviter que l'ouverture ne reprenne sa forme canonique lorsque le vêtement est employé selon le second mode d'utilisation, pour éviter le passage de l'air et/ou les infiltrations d'eau.Preferably, the end of the first duct is inclined; this inclination prevents the opening from returning to its canonical form when the garment is used according to the second mode of use, to prevent the passage of air and / or water infiltration.
En outre, la paroi interne de l'extrémité du premier conduit est muni d'une bande de silicone qui assure une étanchéité au niveau de l'ouverture du premier conduit lorsque le vêtement est employé selon la deuxième utilisation. De manière préférentielle, les moyens de fermeture comprennent également un premier élément et un second élément, fixés au premier conduit, et aptes à coopérer de manière à assurer le serrage autour du premier conduit, ce qui permet d'assurer éventuellement l'étanchéité au niveau de celui-ci lorsque le vêtement est employé selon la première utilisation. Ces éléments permettent, en outre, le maintien du premier conduit lorsque le vêtement est employé selon la seconde utilisation. D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre et qui s'appuie sur la figure 1 présentant un mode préférentiel de conception du vêtement mis en œuvre au niveau d'une manche.In addition, the inner wall of the end of the first conduit is provided with a silicone strip which provides a seal at the opening of the first conduit when the garment is used according to the second use. Preferably, the closing means also comprise a first element and a second element, fixed to the first conduit, and capable of cooperating so as to ensure the clamping around the first conduit, which makes it possible to ensure sealing at the level thereof when the garment is used according to the first use. These elements allow, in addition, the maintenance of the first conduit when the garment is used according to the second use. Other advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the description which follows and based on Figure 1 showing a preferred mode of design of the garment implemented at a sleeve.
Les caractéristiques de l'invention mise en œuvre à l'extrémité de la manche, telles que représentées en figure 1, sont envisageables et concevables au niveau de chacune des ouvertures du vêtement, notamment au niveau de l'ouverture d'une veste ou d'un pull permettant le passage de la tête et du cou de l'utilisateur, ainsi que les ouvertures permettant le passage des pieds de l'utilisateur sur les jambes de pantalon. On pourra également prévoir la mise en œuvre de ces caractéristiques au niveau de la taille du vêtement lorsqu'il s'agit notamment d'une veste.The features of the invention implemented at the end of the sleeve, as shown in FIG. 1, are conceivable and conceivable at each of the openings of the garment, in particular at the level of the opening of a jacket or a sweater allowing the passage of the head and the neck of the user, and the openings allowing the passage of the user's feet on the trouser legs. It will also be possible to implement these characteristics at the level of the size of the garment when it is particularly a jacket.
Le vêtement comprend un premier conduit 1 présentant une première ouverture 2 à l'une de ses extrémités la qui peut être par exemple une extrémité de manche, le tour de cou du vêtement, ou encore l'extrémité d'une jambe de pantalon, ainsi que l'extrémité de la taille. Cette extrémité permettant le passage d'une partie du corps, c'est-à-dire les mains, la tête, les pieds, ou encore la taille.The garment comprises a first duct 1 having a first opening 2 at one of its ends, which may be for example a handle end, the choker of the garment, or the end of a trouser leg, and than the end of the waist. This end allowing the passage of a body part, that is to say the hands, head, feet, or the size.
Dans la suite de la description, on se référera en particulier à la mise en œuvre de l'invention appliquée aux manches d'une veste, tel que cela est représenté en figure 1.In the following description, reference will be made in particular to the implementation of the invention applied to the sleeves of a jacket, as shown in Figure 1.
Selon un mode préférentiel et non limitatif, le vêtement est réalisé dans un matériau imperméable à l'eau. Il sera de préférence perméable à l'air ou respirant afin de favoriser l'aération et les échanges thermiques, et d'éviter ainsi la montée en température du corps notamment pendant la pratique d'activités sportives ou intensives. Le vêtement comprend une seconde ouverture 3 qui débouche dans le premier conduit 1 ou à proximité de celui-ci, la première 2 et la seconde 3 ouvertures étant de préférence disposées à proximité l'une de l'autre, ce qui réduit le temps d'adaptation du vêtement. La première ouverture 2 est définie dans l'axe du premier conduit, tandis que la deuxième ouverture 3 est disposée latéralement par rapport à ce premier conduit.According to a preferred and non-limiting mode, the garment is made of a material impermeable to water. It will preferably be breathable or breathable to promote aeration and heat exchange, and thus prevent the body temperature rise especially during the practice of sports or intensive activities. The garment comprises a second opening 3 which opens into or near the first conduit 1, the first 2 and the second 3 openings being preferably arranged close to one another, which reduces the time of adaptation of the garment. The first opening 2 is defined in the axis of the first duct, while the second opening 3 is disposed laterally with respect to this first duct.
Cette deuxième ouverture 3 reçoit un deuxième conduit 4 à l'intérieur duquel la partie du corps peut pénétrer lorsque celle-ci est tout d'abord extraite du premier conduit 1 pour ensuite être engagée dans ledit second conduit 4. Ce conduit 4 est défini suivant un axe incliné formant un angle, de préférence aigu, avec l'axe du premier conduit 1, voire perpendiculaire par rapport à l'axe du premier conduit 1. Cette inclinaison favorise l'introduction de la partie du corps dans le second conduit 4, sans avoir à manipuler ledit conduit pour l'orienter par rapport à la partie du corps. On peut toutefois prévoir un angle obtus entre l'axe du premier conduit 1 et l'axe incliné du second conduit 4, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.This second opening 3 receives a second duct 4 inside which the body part can penetrate when the latter is first extracted from the first duct 1 to then be engaged in said second duct 4. This duct 4 is defined as follows an inclined axis forming an angle, preferably acute, with the axis of the first duct 1, or even perpendicular to the axis of the first duct 1. This inclination promotes the introduction of the body part into the second duct 4, without having to manipulate said conduit to orient it relative to the body part. However, it is possible to provide an obtuse angle between the axis of the first duct 1 and the inclined axis of the second duct 4, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Ce second conduit 4 est conçu dans un matériau étanche, c'est-à-dire imperméable à l'eau, ledit conduit imperméable ou étanche étant par ailleurs rapporté sur la deuxième ouverture 3 de manière étanche, ce qui permet de constituer un prolongement étanche entre la matière du vêtement, qui est de préférence réalisée en matériau imperméable à l'eau, et le second conduit 4 constitué d'un matériau également imperméable à l'eau. La liaison entre ce second conduit 4 et l'extrémité du premier conduit 1, agencée au niveau de l'ouverture 3, est réalisée selon les techniques de confection connues de l'homme du métier, de manière à assurer une continuité de l'étanchéité entre les deux matériaux du premier conduit et du deuxième conduit.This second duct 4 is designed in a waterproof material, that is to say, impervious to water, said impermeable or leakproof duct being also attached to the second opening 3 in a sealed manner, which allows to form a sealed extension between the material of the garment, which is preferably made of waterproof material, and the second conduit 4 made of a material also impermeable to water. The connection between this second duct 4 and the end of the first duct 1, arranged at the opening 3, is performed according to the fabrication techniques known to those skilled in the art, so as to ensure continuity of the seal between the two materials of the first conduit and the second conduit.
Selon un mode préférentiel de conception, le second conduit 4 présente un diamètre qui est inférieur à celui du premier conduit 1, cette différence de diamètre étant au moins réalisée à proximité de l'extrémité 4a de ce second conduit 4 ; ce diamètre du second conduit 4 sera également inférieur au diamètre de la partie du corps qu'il est destiné à recevoir. On assure ainsi que ce second conduit 4 épouse convenablement le corps, lorsque celui-ci est mis en place pour être utilisé.According to a preferred embodiment, the second duct 4 has a diameter which is smaller than that of the first duct 1, this difference in diameter being at least achieved near the end 4a of the second duct 4; this diameter of the second duct 4 will also be less than diameter of the part of the body that it is intended to receive. This ensures that the second conduit 4 suitably marries the body when it is put in place to be used.
Le deuxième conduit 4 est constitué au moins partiellement en matériau étanche, confectionné par exemple dans un tricot, présentant également l'avantage d'être extensible, ce qui permet de l'adapter convenablement à la taille du corps qu'il est destiné à recevoir. Ce deuxième conduit 4 comprend une ouverture 5 disposée en son extrémité 4a opposée à la première ouverture 3 débouchant dans le premier conduit 1 ou à proximité de celui-ci. Ainsi, le passage de la partie du corps dans le second conduit 4 du vêtement se fait de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, en insérant tout d'abord cette partie du corps au travers de l'ouverture 3 sur le vêtement puis en déplaçant ladite partie du corps au travers du second conduit 4 jusqu'à sortir de celui-ci au travers de l'ouverture 5 disposée à son extrémité, le second conduit 4 épousant alors la forme du corps.The second duct 4 consists at least partially of waterproof material, made for example in a knit fabric, also having the advantage of being extensible, which allows it to be suitably adapted to the size of the body that it is intended to receive. . This second duct 4 comprises an opening 5 disposed at its end 4a opposite to the first opening 3 opening into the first duct 1 or close thereto. Thus, the passage of the body part in the second conduit 4 of the garment is from the inside to the outside, by first inserting this part of the body through the opening 3 on the garment and then moving said portion of the body through the second duct 4 until it leaves the latter through the opening 5 disposed at its end, the second duct 4 then conforming to the shape of the body.
Le premier conduit 1 dispose quant à lui d'un diamètre qui de préférence est supérieur ou égal au diamètre de la partie du corps qu'il est destiné à recevoir. Ainsi, lorsque la partie du corps est enfilée dans le premier conduit 1, ce premier conduit 1 est disposé autour de la partie du corps en maintenant un espace permettant le passage de l'air entre la paroi du conduit 1 et la partie du corps. On favorise ainsi l'aération ou la ventilation à l'intérieur du vêtement, ce qui privilégie les échanges thermiques et l'évacuation de la chaleur sous le vêtement. Le vêtement est en particulier utilisé selon ce mode lorsque la personne le porte pour effectuer des activités qui ne nécessitent pas de protection particulière du point de vue de l'étanchéité, lorsque les conditions climatiques, sont clémentes.The first conduit 1 has meanwhile a diameter which preferably is greater than or equal to the diameter of the body part that it is intended to receive. Thus, when the body portion is threaded into the first conduit 1, the first conduit 1 is disposed around the body portion while maintaining a space for the passage of air between the wall of the conduit 1 and the body part. This promotes ventilation or ventilation inside the garment, which favors heat exchange and the evacuation of heat under the garment. The garment is particularly used in this mode when the person wears it to perform activities that do not require special protection from the point of view of tightness, when weather conditions, are lenient.
En outre, lorsque ce vêtement est porté par la personne en vue d'effectuer des activités qui nécessitent de se protéger contre les risques de pénétration de l'eau par les extrémités ouvertes du vêtement, la personne utilise alors le second conduit étanche. Pour cela, l'utilisateur retire la partie du corps du premier conduit pour la positionner dans le second conduit. Tel que représenté sur la figure 1, le premier conduit 1 peut être fermé en son extrémité la au niveau de sa première ouverture 2. Pour cela, le premier conduit 1 présente a proximité de sa première ouverture 2 un moyen de fermeture 6 de ladite première ouverture 2. Ces moyens de fermeture 6 peuvent permettre éventuellement de fermer ladite ouverture 2 pour que celle- ci soit maintenue serrée et en contact avec la partie du corps qui est insérée au travers du premier conduit, par exemple pour éviter les infiltrations d'air lors de mauvaises conditions climatiques ne nécessitant pas pour autant d'obtenir une étanchéité à l'eau. Dans ce cas, les moyens de fermeture sont simplement resserrés autour du corps de l'utilisateur. Ces moyens de fermeture 6 ont par ailleurs également pour fonction de permettre la fermeture de l'ouverture 2 disposée à l'extrémité la du premier conduit 1, lorsque la partie du corps est insérée au travers du second conduit 4, afin de s'assurer de l'étanchéité du vêtement et d'éviter la pénétration de l'eau par le premier conduit 1.In addition, when the garment is worn by the person to perform activities that require protection against the risk of penetration of water from the open ends of the garment, the person then uses the second duct tight. For this, the user removes the body part of the first conduit to position it in the second conduit. As shown in FIG. 1, the first duct 1 may be closed at its end la at its first opening 2. For this purpose, the first duct 1 has, near its first opening 2, a closure means 6 of said first duct 1. opening 2. These closure means 6 may possibly allow closing said opening 2 so that it is held tight and in contact with the body part which is inserted through the first conduit, for example to prevent air infiltration in bad weather conditions that do not require watertightness. In this case, the closing means are simply tightened around the body of the user. These closure means 6 also have the function of allowing the closure of the opening 2 disposed at the end 1a of the first duct 1, when the body part is inserted through the second duct 4, in order to ensure the tightness of the garment and to prevent the penetration of water through the first duct 1.
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, les moyens de fermeture 6 comprennent un premier élément 7 et un second élément 8 qui sont fixés à l'extrémité la du premier conduit 1 et s'étendent de part et d'autre du contour du conduit 1 pour se rejoindre en un point de fermeture. Cette fermeture assure, lorsque le premier élément 7 et le second élément 8 sont rejoints, un serrage autour du conduit 1 ; ce serrage combiné avec la fermeture assurée par la liaison 11 entre le premier 7 et le second 8 éléments, permettent également d'assurer l'étanchéité au niveau du conduit 1.According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the closing means 6 comprise a first element 7 and a second element 8 which are fixed at the end 1a of the first duct 1 and extend on either side of the contour. duct 1 to meet at a point of closure. This closure ensures, when the first element 7 and the second element 8 are joined, a clamping around the conduit 1; this clamping combined with the closure provided by the link 11 between the first 7 and the second 8 elements, also ensure sealing at the duct 1.
On peut également envisager un premier élément fixe sur le contour du conduit 1, et un second élément se prolongeant autour du contour, dans une direction opposée au premier élément, afin de ceinturer le conduit 1, le second élément rejoignant le premier élément de manière à permettre leur liaison et assurer ainsi la fermeture et l'étanchéité au niveau de l'extrémité la du conduit 1. Selon un mode préférentiel et non limitatif, cette liaison 11 entre le premier élément 7 et le deuxième élément 8 est constituée au moyen d'un dispositif boucle/crochet de type Velcro® ou au moyen d'un dispositif de type clipsage. II est également possible de prévoir des moyens de fermeture de type à glissière ou bande adhésive afin d'assurer l'étanchéité du conduit lorsque ces moyens de fermeture sont mis en place. Dans ce cas, les moyens de fermeture sont situés à la périphérie immédiate de la première ouverture dans le conduit, c'est-à-dire qu'ils sont disposés sur le contour de l'extrémité du conduit, et agissent comme un collier d'étranglement autour du conduit. On pourra également envisager l'utilisation de bandes adhésives pour assurer la fermeture du conduit.It is also possible to envisage a first fixed element on the contour of the conduit 1, and a second element extending around the contour, in a direction opposite to the first element, in order to surround the conduit 1, the second element joining the first element so as to allow their connection and thus ensure the closure and sealing at the end of the conduit 1 1. In a preferred and non-limiting, this connection 11 between the first element 7 and the second element 8 is constituted by means of a hook / loop device of the Velcro® type or by means of a clipping-type device. It is also possible to provide closure means of slide type or adhesive tape to ensure the tightness of the conduit when these closure means are put in place. In this case, the closure means are located at the immediate periphery of the first opening in the duct, that is to say that they are arranged on the contour of the end of the duct, and act as a collar of the duct. throttling around the duct. It may also consider the use of adhesive strips to ensure the closure of the conduit.
Selon un mode préférentiel de conception, le second conduit 4 est rapporté sur le premier conduit 1 au moyen d'une couture et/ou par thermocollage. Le second conduit 4 est donc rapporté au niveau de l'ouverture 3 disposé à l'extrémité du premier conduit 1, au niveau de sa périphérie. L'assemblage du conduit 4 sur l'ouverture est réalisé de manière étanche.According to a preferred mode of design, the second duct 4 is attached to the first duct 1 by means of a seam and / or by heat-sealing. The second conduit 4 is reported at the opening 3 disposed at the end of the first conduit 1 at its periphery. The assembly of the duct 4 on the opening is made in a sealed manner.
Selon un mode préférentiel de conception, le deuxième conduit 4 est réalisé en deux parties 9,10 qui sont assemblées entre elles et avec le premier conduit 1, par couture ou par thermocollage 14. Selon cette conception, la première partie 9 se raccorde au premier conduit 1 à proximité du coté de la première ouverture 2 du premier conduit 1, tandis que la seconde partie 10 se raccorde au premier conduit 1 en position la plus éloignée par rapport à l'ouverture 2 de ce premier conduit 1. Dans ces conditions, la première partie 9 dispose d'une longueur moins importante que la deuxième partie 10 de manière à définir une orientation inclinée du second conduit 4 qui tend à assurer le prolongement et la continuité de l'extrémité du vêtement.According to a preferred embodiment, the second duct 4 is made in two parts 9, 10 which are assembled together and with the first duct 1, by sewing or heat-sealing 14. According to this design, the first part 9 is connected to the first one. duct 1 near the side of the first opening 2 of the first duct 1, while the second portion 10 is connected to the first duct 1 in the furthest position relative to the opening 2 of the first duct 1. the first part 9 has a shorter length than the second part 10 so as to define an inclined orientation of the second conduit 4 which tends to ensure the extension and continuity of the end of the garment.
Lorsque le corps est introduit dans le premier conduit 1, le second conduit 4 est alors inutilisé. Dans ces conditions, le second conduit présente pour avantage de pouvoir être dissimulé à l'intérieur du premier conduit 1. Pour cela, le second conduit 4 se replie sur lui-même vers l'intérieur, les première 9 et seconde 10 parties de ce second conduit 4 favorisant son positionnement à plat, replié sur lui-même, le long de la paroi interne du premier conduit 1. L'ouverture 5 de ce second conduit 4 est de préférence laissée ouverte telle quelle, sans ajouter de fermeture complémentaire, lors de son repli à l'intérieur du premier conduit 1. Toutefois, il est également possible de prévoir des moyens de fermeture de cette ouverture 5 à l'extrémité 4a du second conduit 4 afin d'éviter par exemple le passage de l'air à l'intérieur de celui-ci. Ce passage de l'air est toutefois minimisé grâce à l'orientation du conduit 4 dissimulé à l'intérieur du premier conduit et orienté vers l'extérieur de ce premier conduit 1, en direction de l'ouverture 2.When the body is introduced into the first conduit 1, the second conduit 4 is then unused. Under these conditions, the second duct has the advantage of being concealed inside the first duct 1. For this, the second duct 4 folds on itself inward, the first 9 and second 10 parts of it. second duct 4 promoting its positioning flat, folded on itself, along the inner wall of the first duct 1. The opening 5 of the second duct 4 is preferably left open as is, without adding additional closure, when of its withdrawal inside of the first duct 1. However, it is also possible to provide means for closing this opening 5 at the end 4a of the second duct 4 so as to avoid, for example, the passage of air inside it. . This passage of air is however minimized thanks to the orientation of the duct 4 concealed inside the first duct and oriented towards the outside of this first duct 1, in the direction of the opening 2.
Lorsque le corps est disposé à l'intérieur du second conduit 4 et que le premier conduit 1 est inutilisé, celui-ci se replie sur lui-même de manière à lui donner une forme plane, puis à le rabattre sur lui-même, avant d'assurer sa fermeture et son étanchéité en le ceinturant autour du corps avec les moyens de fermeture.When the body is disposed inside the second duct 4 and the first duct 1 is unused, it folds on itself so as to give it a flat shape, then to fold on itself, before to ensure its closure and its sealing by surrounding around the body with the closure means.
Par ailleurs, la paroi interne 15 de l'extrémité du premier conduit 1 est munie d'une bande de silicone qui assure, lors du pliage dudit conduit 1 à fin de l'aplanir avant de le rabattre, l'adhérence sur cette paroi interne 15 entre les deux bords internes rapprochés et en contact. On assure de cette manière une étanchéité au niveau de l'ouverture 2 située à l'extrémité la du premier conduit 1, cette étanchéité complémentaire renforçant l'étanchéité obtenue par les moyens de fermeture.Furthermore, the inner wall 15 of the end of the first duct 1 is provided with a silicone strip which ensures, during the folding of said duct 1 in order to flatten it before folding it down, the adhesion on this inner wall 15 between the two inner edges close together and in contact. In this way, a seal is provided at the opening 2 located at the end 1a of the first duct 1, this complementary seal reinforcing the tightness obtained by the closing means.
Selon un mode préférentiel et non limitatif de conception, en particulier lorsque la présente invention est mise en œuvre au niveau des manches du vêtement, lesdites manches présentent une partie inférieure 12 et une partie supérieure 13 dont la longueur est différente. En effet, la partie inférieure 12 de la manche est de préférence plus courte que la partie supérieure 13, ce qui permet de donner une forme inclinée à l'extrémité la du conduit 1. Cette inclinaison de l'extrémité la permet de mieux recouvrir l'ouverture lorsque le premier conduit 1 est plié puis rabattu pour sa fermeture, et évite que l'extrémité la du conduit 1 reprenne sa forme canonique.According to a preferred and non-limiting design, particularly when the present invention is implemented at the sleeves of the garment, said sleeves have a lower portion 12 and an upper portion 13 whose length is different. Indeed, the lower portion 12 of the sleeve is preferably shorter than the upper portion 13, which allows to give an inclined shape at the end of the duct 1. This inclination of the end allows it to better cover the l opening when the first duct 1 is folded and folded to close, and prevents the end of the duct 1 to resume its canonical form.
Selon une variante de réalisation du vêtement, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, on peut prévoir avantageusement que le second conduit 4 est au moins partiellement fermé en son extrémité 4a, par un élément (non représenté sur la figure 1) tel une moufle, un gant ou une mitaine, lorsque l'invention est mise en œuvre sur une manche de veste ; tel un chausson, lorsque l'invention est mise en œuvre sur une jambe de pantalon ; ou encore tel une cagoule, lorsque l'invention est mise en œuvre au niveau d'un col de veste ou de blouson. Cet élément peut être une pièce rapportée à l'extrémité 4a du second conduit 4, ou une prolongation intégrale de ce second conduit 4.According to an alternative embodiment of the garment, without departing from the scope of the present invention, it is advantageous to provide that the second duct 4 is at least partially closed at its end 4a by an element (not shown in FIG. 1) such as a muffle , a glove or a mitten, when the invention is implemented on a jacket sleeve; such a slipper, when the invention is implemented on a pant leg; or like a hood, when the invention is implemented at a jacket collar or jacket. This element may be a piece attached to the end 4a of the second conduit 4, or an integral extension of the second conduit 4.
Dans ce cas, la pièce rapportée est par exemple cousue, au niveau de son extrémité, sur l'ouverture 5 disposée à l'extrémité 4a du second conduit 4, cette couture étant, de préférence, réalisée de manière étanche. On peut toutefois prévoir d'autres moyens, amovibles, comme par exemple une fermeture éclair, mise en œuvre entre l'extrémité de la pièce rapportée et l'extrémité 4a du second conduit 4, permettant ainsi de retirer plus facilement ladite pièce rapportée si celle-ci s'avère inutilisée.In this case, the insert is for example sewn, at its end, on the opening 5 disposed at the end 4a of the second conduit 4, this seam is preferably made sealingly. However, it is possible to provide other means, removable, such as for example a zipper, implemented between the end of the insert and the end 4a of the second conduit 4, thus making it easier to remove said insert if the it turns out to be unused.
La présente invention sera notamment mise en œuvre dans l'industrie textile pour la confection de vestes, de pantalons, de combinaisons imperméables à l'eau, et à vocation sportive ou maritime. The present invention will be implemented in particular in the textile industry for the manufacture of jackets, pants, waterproof suits, and for sporting or maritime purposes.
