Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à une bretelle de fusil, en particulier d'un fusil pour des forces armées.The present invention relates to a rifle sling, in particular a rifle for armed forces.
Le déposant de la présente demande commercialise depuis de nombreuses années des bretelles de fusil pour des forces armées.The applicant of the present application has been selling rifle straps for armed forces for many years.
Une telle bretelle est en général attachée par ses extrémités à un fusil, par exemple un fusil d'assaut, ce qui permet de porter l'arme autour du cou lors de déplacements ou des patrouilles et évite de devoir porter l'arme à deux mains. Elle facilite le changement entre des positions de patrouille et des positions de tir.Such a strap is usually attached at its ends to a rifle, for example an assault rifle, which allows the weapon to be worn around the neck when traveling or patrolling and avoids having to carry the weapon with both hands . It facilitates change between patrol positions and firing positions.
Les bretelles du déposant se distinguent par le fait de comprendre dans une portion de gaine un élastique qui a pour fonction d'amortir les chocs à chaque pas lors d'un déplacement et ainsi de soulager les muscles de la nuque.The straps of the depositor are distinguished by the fact of comprising in a portion of sheath an elastic whose function is to cushion the shocks with each step during a displacement and thus relieve the muscles of the neck.
Actuellement, l'élastique est dimensionné pour des armes de 5kg environ et il est fixé à l'intérieur de la gaine en réalisant aux extrémités de l'élastique une couture transversale à la bretelle ce qui a pour effet que l'aiguille de couture traverse la gaine et l'élastique en même temps. De cette sorte, l'élastique est fixé à l'intérieur de la gaine et peut amortir les chocs lors de la marche.Currently, the elastic is dimensioned for weapons of about 5kg and is fixed inside the sheath by producing at the ends of the elastic a transverse stitch to the strap which has the effect that the sewing needle through sheath and elastic at the same time. In this way, the elastic is attached to the inside of the sheath and can dampen shocks when walking.
Toutefois, pour des armes d'un poids supérieur à 5kg, l'élastique doit être d'un diamètre plus grand pour amortir aussi dans ce cas des chocs. Or, il se pose le problème de la fixation de l'élastique, car la largeur de la gaine est fixée pour des raisons ergonomiques à 25mm, de sorte qu'il n'y a plus assez de largeur pour réaliser une fixation par couture.However, for weapons weighing more than 5kg, the elastic must be larger in diameter to dampen shocks as well. However, there is the problem of fixing the elastic, because the width of the sheath is fixed for ergonomic reasons to 25mm, so that there is more enough width to make a fixation by stitching.
De plus, le fait que l'aiguille traverse l'élastique lors de la couture paraît insatisfaisant lors du processus de fabrication.In addition, the fact that the needle passes through the elastic during sewing seems unsatisfactory during the manufacturing process.
La présente invention vise à proposer une bretelle de fusil avec un mode alternatif de fixation de l'élastique dans la gaine qui convient à tous les élastiques.The present invention aims to provide a rifle sling with an alternative method of fixing the elastic in the sheath that is suitable for all the elastics.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une bretelle de fusil apte à être fixée aux extrémités d'un fusil et comportant au moins une gaine ainsi qu'un tendeur élastique fixé à l'intérieur de ladite gaine, caractérisée en ce que le tendeur élastique est réalisé sous forme d'une boucle fermée coulissante dans la gaine et en ce qu'elle comporte des moyens de positionnement des extrémités de ladite boucle de tendeur élastique qui soient en prise avec celle-ci depuis l'intérieur de ladite boucle.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a rifle sling adapted to be attached to the ends of a rifle and comprising at least one sheath and an elastic tensioner fixed inside said sheath, characterized in that the elastic tensioner is formed as a closed loop sliding in the sheath and in that it comprises means for positioning the ends of said elastic tensioner loop which are engaged therewith from within said loop.
Cette bretelle de fusil peut comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises seule ou en combinaison :
- les moyens de positionnement sont formées par des coutures réalisées entre des parois en vis-à-vis de la gaine, à l'intérieur de la boucle de tendeur élastique,
- les moyens de positionnement comprennent pour chaque extrémité une lanière fixée à la gaine à l'extérieur de la boucle et en prise avec la boucle depuis l'intérieur de celle-ci,
- le tendeur élastique comprend un élastique et un arceau métallique réunissant les extrémités de l'élastique pour former une boucle fermée de tendeur élastique,
- une extrémité de la gaine comporte une attache pour le canon du fusil et l'autre extrémité est réalisée sous forme d'une sangle de réglage coopérant avec une boucle de réglage,
- la sangle de réglage présente à son extrémité libre une bande d'agrippement transversale pour permettre l'enroulement du surplus de sangle et son attachement,
- l'attache pour le canon du fusil est réalisée en un matériau ignifuge.
- the positioning means are formed by seams made between walls facing the sheath, inside the elastic tensioner loop,
- the positioning means comprise for each end a strap attached to the sheath on the outside of the loop and engaged with the loop from the inside thereof,
- the elastic tensioner comprises an elastic and a metal arch joining the ends of the elastic to form a closed loop of elastic tensioner,
- one end of the sheath has an attachment for the barrel of the rifle and the other end is in the form of an adjustment strap cooperating with a control loop,
- the adjustment strap has at its free end a transverse gripping strip to allow the winding of the excess strap and its attachment,
- the gun barrel clip is made of flame retardant material.

Le crochet 13 est métallique pour conférer une bonne solidité à la liaison entre l'enveloppe 7 et la gaine 9. Il comporte de préférence une languette de fermeture sollicitée par un ressort en position fermée.The
Grâce à ce crochet 13, on peut décrocher facilement un fusil autour du cou d'un combattant blessé et lui porter secours sans avoir besoin de le manoeuvrer davantage.With this
Le fourreau de camouflage évite toute éventuelle réflexion sur le crochet métallique 13, en particulier, si le métal est mis à nu par une utilisation importante.The camouflage sheath avoids any possible reflection on the
Il permet en outre d'éviter que le combattant accroche ses autres équipements à la bretelle ou se blesse par inadvertance.It also prevents the fighter hangs his other equipment on the ramp or inadvertently injures himself.
Selon une première variante, le crochet 11 coopère avec une boucle en tissu 15 cousue sur une lanière 17 à laquelle est attachée une seconde boucle de réglage 19.According to a first variant, the

Plus particulièrement, le tendeur élastique 25 est réalisé sous forme d'une boucle fermée coulissante dans la gaine. Par coulissante dans la gaine, on comprend que le tendeur n'est pas directement fixé contre la paroi 27 de la gaine 9, mais peut réaliser un certain mouvement relatif à l'état non tendu.More particularly, the
Préférentiellement, le tendeur élastique 25 comprend un élastique et un arceau métallique 29 réunissant les extrémités de l'élastique pour former une boucle fermée.Preferably, the
Pour maintenir le tendeur 25 dans la gaine et pour qu'il puisse exercer ses fonction pour amortir les chocs, la bretelle comporte des moyens 31 de positionnement des extrémités de ladite boucle qui sont en prise avec celle-ci depuis l'intérieur de la boucle. Selon une première variante représentée à la
Ainsi, lorsque l'on tend la gaine 9, ces coutures 33 viennent en prise depuis l'intérieur avec le tendeur 25 et celui-ci s'opposera de façon élastique à une élongation supplémentaire de la gaine 9, amortissant ainsi les chocs lors de la marche.Thus, when the

Enfin, l'autre extrémité de la gaine 9 comporte une attache 37 pour le canon du fusil de préférence réalisée en un matériau ignifuge pour résister à l'échauffement du canon.Finally, the other end of the
On comprend donc que la bretelle selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages et peut être adapté à la taille de tous les combattants et au poids de tout fusil.It is therefore understood that the strap of the invention has many advantages and can be adapted to the size of all fighters and the weight of any rifle.
Les surplus de sangles ou lanières peuvent être rangés ou repliées pour ne pas gêner les opérations.The surplus straps or straps can be stored or folded so as not to hinder operations.
En outre, en cas de besoin, elle permet d'être détachée facilement pour permettre toute intervention, notamment de secours sur un combattant blessé.In addition, if necessary, it allows to be detached easily to allow any intervention, including relief on a wounded fighter.
