Description

Ceinture de support d'accessoires destinée par exemple aux forces de maintien de l'ordre Accessory support belt for example for law enforcement
La présente invention concerne une ceinture de support d'accessoires destinée par exemple aux forces de maintien de l'ordre ou à des agents de sécurité.The present invention relates to an accessory support belt for example for law enforcement or security officers.
Le personnel destiné au maintien de l'ordre ou à assurer la sécurité, est équipé de ceinture ou de ceinturon sur lequel différents accessoires sont placés, comme par exemple des étuis supportant une arme de poing, une matraque, des menottes, une bombe lacrymogène ou un appareil de communication.The personnel intended for the maintenance of the order or to ensure the security, is equipped with belt or belt on which various accessories are placed, such as cases carrying a handgun, a truncheon, handcuffs, a bomb of tear or a communication device.
Jusqu'à présent, chaque étui est monté sur un passant glissé sur la ceinture qui est, pour cela, formée par une bande munie d'une boucle de fixation autour de la taille de l'utilisateur. Dans la majorité des cas actuels, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite enlever l'accessoire, il est obligé de retirer la ceinture et de faire glisser un ou plusieurs passants avant d'extraire le passant portant l'accessoire qu'il ne souhaite plus utiliser.So far, each case is mounted on a loop slipped on the belt which is, for this, formed by a band provided with a fastening loop around the size of the user. In the majority of the current cases, when the user wishes to remove the accessory, he is obliged to remove the belt and slide one or more loops before extracting the passer with the accessory that he no longer wants to use.
Pour éviter ces inconvénients, certains accessoires sont équipés de passants munis de boutons pression ou de ruban auto-agrippant. L'invention a pour objet de proposer une ceinture de support d'accessoires qui évite ces inconvénients.To avoid these disadvantages, some accessories are equipped with loops with snaps or Velcro tape. The object of the invention is to provide an accessory support belt which avoids these disadvantages.
L'invention a donc pour objet une ceinture de support d'accessoires, du type comprenant une bande principale équipée d'un système de fermeture autour de la taille d'un utilisateur, caractérisée en ce que la bande principale comporte, sur au moins une partie de la longueur de sa face interne, une bande secondaire munie de moyens d'accrochage dans au moins une position déterminée d'au moins un passant portant un accessoire.The invention therefore relates to an accessory support belt, of the type comprising a main band equipped with a closure system around the size of a user, characterized in that the main band comprises, on at least one part of the length of its internal face, a secondary band provided with hooking means in at least one determined position of at least one passer carrying an accessory.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :According to other features of the invention:
- les moyens d'accrochage sont formés par des orifices ménagés sur la bande secondaire et destinés à coopérer avec au moins un ergot ménagé sur le passant,- The attachment means are formed by orifices provided on the secondary band and intended to cooperate with at least one lug formed on the passer,
- le passant comprend deux branches parallèles et reliées au niveau d'une de leurs extrémités par une zone de jonction, une première bande portant sur sa face externe ledit accessoire et une seconde bande portant sur sa face interne ledit au moins ergot, - les deux branches du passant sont déplaçables par basculement au niveau de ladite zone de jonction entre une position écartée pour l'introduction du passant sur la bande principale et une position rapprochée de fixation dans ladite position déterminée, et - la ceinture est réalisée en cuir ou en matière synthétique ou encore en matière plastique,the passer comprises two parallel branches connected at one of their ends by a junction zone, a first band bearing on its external face said accessory and a second band bearing on its internal face said at least one lug, - The two branches of the passer are movable by tilting at said junction zone between a position apart for the introduction of the passer on the main band and a close fixing position in said determined position, and - the belt is made of leather or in synthetic material or plastic,
Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels : - la Fig. 1 est une vue schématique en perspective et éclatée d'une partie d'une ceinture de support d'accessoires, conforme à l'invention,The features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description given by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective and exploded view of a portion of an accessory support belt, according to the invention,
- la Fig. 2 est une vue schématique en perspective montrant la fixation d'un passant sur la ceinture, etFIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the fastening of a loop on the belt, and
- la Fig. 3 est une vue schématique en perspective d'une portion d'une cein- ture avec le passant monté sur ladite ceinture.FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of a portion of a belt with the passer mounted on said belt.
Sur les figures, on a représenté schématiquement une portion d'une ceinture désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 1 et qui comprend une bande principale 10 équipée, de manière classique, d'un système de fermeture, non représenté autour de la taille d'un utilisateur. Cette ceinture 1 est destinée par exemple aux forces de maintien de l'ordre ou à des agents de sécurité et permet de supporter différents accessoires, comme par exemple des étuis pour une arme de poing, une matraque, des menottes, une bombe lacrymogène ou encore un appareil de communication.In the figures, there is shown diagrammatically a portion of a belt generally designated by the reference 1 and which comprises a main band 10 equipped, in a conventional manner, with a closure system, not shown around the size of an user. This belt 1 is intended for example for law enforcement or security officers and can support various accessories, such as cases for a handgun, a baton, handcuffs, a tear gas bomb or even a communication device.
Pour cela, la bande principale 10 comporte, sur au moins une partie de la longueur de sa face interne 10a, une bande secondaire 15 munie de moyens 20 d'accrochage dans au moins une position déterminée d'au moins un passant 25 portant un accessoire, non représenté.For this, the main band 10 comprises, on at least a portion of the length of its inner face 10a, a secondary band 15 provided with means 20 for hooking in at least one determined position of at least one passer 25 carrying an accessory , not shown.
De préférence, les moyens 20 d'accrochage sont formés par des orifices 21 ménagés sur la bande secondaire 15. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures, ces orifices 21 présentent une forme oblongue et sont disposés horizontalement. Selon d'autres modes de réalisation, ces orifices 21 peuvent avoir une forme oblongue et dispo- ses verticalement ou tout autre forme comme par exemple une forme, circulaire, carrée ou rectangulaire ou triangulaire.Preferably, the attachment means 20 are formed by orifices 21 formed on the secondary strip 15. In the embodiment shown in the figures, these orifices 21 have an oblong shape and are arranged horizontally. According to other embodiments, these orifices 21 may have an oblong shape and vertically or any other form such as a shape, circular, square or rectangular or triangular.
Comme montré par exemple à la Fig. 1 , le passant 25 comprend deux branches parallèles, respectivement 26 et 27, reliées entre elles au niveau d'une de leurs extrémités par une zone de jonction 28. Une première branche 26 porte sur sa face externe l'accessoire, non représenté, et une seconde branche 27 porte sur sa face interne au moins un ergot 29 destiné à coopérer avec un orifice 21 de la bande secondaire 15 et de forme sensiblement complémentaire audit orifice 21. Ainsi et comme montré à la Fig. 2, la branche 27 du passant 25 est dépla- çable par un mouvement de levier au niveau de la ligne de jonction 28 de façon à l'écarter de la branche 26.As shown for example in FIG. 1, the loop 25 comprises two parallel branches, respectively 26 and 27, interconnected at one of their ends by a junction zone 28. A first branch 26 carries on its external face the accessory, not shown, and a second branch 27 carries on its inner face at least one lug 29 intended to cooperate with an orifice 21 of the secondary band 15 and of substantially complementary shape to said orifice 21. Thus and as shown in FIG. 2, the branch 27 of the loop 25 is displaceable by a lever movement at the junction line 28 so as to move it away from the branch 26.
Pour l'introduction du passant 25 sur la bande principale 10 de la ceinture, il suffit à l'utilisateur d'écarter la branche 27 et de glisser le passant 25 portant un accessoire sur la bande principale 10. Ensuite, l'utilisateur déplace le passant 25 le long de la bande principale 10 en maintenant la branche 27 écartée pour placer dans l'orifice 21 choisi l'ergot 29 afin de disposer le passant et l'accessoire dans la position désirée correspondant à celle choisie et à la morphologie de l'utilisateur.For the introduction of the loop 25 on the main band 10 of the belt, it is sufficient for the user to spread the branch 27 and slide the passer 25 carrying an accessory on the main band 10. Then, the user moves the passing along the main band 10 holding the branch 27 apart to place in the hole 21 selected the pin 29 to arrange the passer and the accessory in the desired position corresponding to that chosen and the morphology of the 'user.
L'utilisateur peut placer bien évidement plusieurs passants 25 portant cha- cun un accessoire sur la bande principale 10 de la ceinture.The user can of course place several loops 25 each carrying an accessory on the main band 10 of the belt.
La ceinture 1 est réalisée en cuir ou en matière synthétique ou encore en matière plastique et le passant est, de préférence, réalisé par injection d'au moins une matière plastique.The belt 1 is made of leather or plastic or plastic and the passer is preferably made by injection of at least one plastic material.
La ceinture selon l'invention présente l'avantage pour un utilisateur de pou- voir placer les accessoires dans une position quelconque le long de la ceinture, tout en les maintenant dans une position fixe déterminée. Ainsi, le passant présente la même sécurité qu'un passant fixe sans en avoir les inconvénients.The belt according to the invention has the advantage for a user to be able to place the accessories in any position along the belt, while maintaining them in a fixed position determined. Thus, the passerby has the same security as a fixed passer without the disadvantages.
De plus, l'utilisateur a la possibilité d'ôter un accessoire sans avoir à retirer tous les autres accessoires ou sans être obligé de retirer complètement la cein- ture.In addition, the user can remove an accessory without having to remove all other accessories or without having to remove the belt completely.
Enfin, la ceinture selon l'invention présente la même esthétique qu'une ceinture classique du fait que les moyens de fixation sont placés sur le côté interne de celle-ci. Finally, the belt according to the invention has the same aesthetics as a conventional belt because the fastening means are placed on the inner side thereof.
