Abstract

The device (1) has an arch shaped support (3) whose ends (41, 42) are connected together by an elastically deformable central arm (47). The arm occupies a rest position in which the arm plates one of the ends of the support at an end of a base (2) when a fixing unit of the support is cooperated with a fixing unit (21) of the base. Another end of the support is chamfered to allow introduction of a branch of pair of spectacles between the ends of the support and the base, which guides leads to distance from each other at the ends of the support based on elastic deformation of the central arm. An independent claim is also included for a method for supporting a pair of spectacles on a cloth.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de support d'une paire de lunettes sur un vêtement, et à un procédé associé de support d'une paire de lunettes sur un vêtement.The present invention relates to a device for supporting a pair of spectacles on a garment, and to an associated method of supporting a pair of spectacles on a garment.

Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à un dispositif de support d'une paire de lunettes sur un vêtement, du type comprenant:

  • une embase destinée à se positionner sur l'arrière du vêtement et comportant des moyens de fixation; et
  • un support de la paire de lunettes destiné à se positionner sur l'avant du vêtement et comportant des moyens complémentaires de fixation destinés à coopérer avec les moyens de fixation de l'embase, par exemple à travers le vêtement, pour une fixation amovible sur le vêtement.
It relates more particularly to a device for supporting a pair of spectacles on a garment, of the type comprising:
  • a base for positioning on the back of the garment and having fastening means; and
  • a support of the pair of spectacles intended to be positioned on the front of the garment and comprising complementary fastening means intended to cooperate with the fastening means of the base, for example through the garment, for a removable attachment on the clothing.

Pour le support de lunettes sur un vêtement, il est connu du document WO 2010/013007 A2 d'employer un support en forme générale d'anneau ou de boucle fermée qui coopère avec une embase, par exemple par aimantation ou par une fixation à pointe du type pin's ou épinglette.For the support of glasses on a garment, it is known from the document WO 2010/013007 A2 to use a support in the general form of ring or closed loop which cooperates with a base, for example by magnetization or a pin-type pin fastening or pin.

L'état de la technique peut être également illustré par l'enseignement de la demande de brevet FR 2 913 186 A1 . Dans cette demande, le support est réalisé sous la forme d'une coque rigide tubulaire dans laquelle est prévu un orifice de réception des lunettes, cette coque rigide étant fixée par aimantation sur une embase aimantée.The state of the art can also be illustrated by the teaching of the patent application FR 2 913 186 A1 . In this application, the support is made in the form of a rigid tubular shell in which is provided a receiving orifice of the glasses, the rigid shell being fixed by magnetization on a magnetized base.

Il est également connu du brevet US 6 260 749 B1 d'employer comme support un anneau circulaire fixé par aimantation sur une embase aimantée.It is also known from the patent US 6,260,749 B1 to use as a support a circular ring fixed by magnetization on a magnetized base.

Le document US 6 269 993 B1 divulgue un clip de support d'une paire de lunettes comportant un plateau plat et un battant élastique, le battant élastique étant réalisé dans un matériau résilient et présentant, d'une part, une première extrémité connectée au plateau au moyen d'un rivet et, d'autre part, une seconde extrémité libre plane plaquée contre le plateau.The document US 6,269,993 B1 discloses a support clip of a pair of spectacles comprising a flat plate and an elastic leaf, the elastic leaf being made of a resilient material and having, on the one hand, a first end connected to the plate by means of a rivet and on the other hand, a second plane free end pressed against the plate.

Ces types de dispositifs de support présentent tous le même inconvénient, à savoir que l'utilisateur doit viser pour introduire une branche de lunettes à l'intérieur de l'orifice du support en forme générale d'anneau, de boucle ou de tube. En effet, l'utilisateur doit introduire la branche de lunette de haut en bas, en prenant soin de bien engager cette branche dans l'orifice du support. En outre, ces dispositifs de support permettent l'introduction que d'une seule des deux branches de lunettes dans le support, obligeant ainsi l'utilisateur à maintenir cette branche légèrement ouverte et écartée de l'autre branche pour assurer son introduction sans que l'autre branche ne gêne.These types of support devices all have the same disadvantage, namely that the user must aim to introduce a branch of glasses inside the support hole in the general shape of ring, loop or tube. Indeed, the user must introduce the bezel branch from top to bottom, taking care to engage this branch in the hole of the support. In addition, these support devices allow the introduction of only one of the two glasses branches in the support, thereby forcing the user to keep this branch slightly open and away from the other branch to ensure its introduction without the other branch is embarrassing.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de support qui permette une mise en place de la paire de lunettes dans le support qui soit aisée, rapide et sans nécessité d'un centrage précis de la paire de lunettes lors de son introduction dans le support.The present invention aims to solve these disadvantages by providing a support device that allows a placement of the pair of glasses in the support which is easy, fast and without the need for a precise centering of the pair of glasses when its introduction into the support.

A cet effet, elle propose un dispositif de support d'une paire de lunettes sur un vêtement, du type comprenant:

  • une embase destinée à se positionner sur l'arrière du vêtement et comportant des moyens de fixation; et
  • un support de la paire de lunettes destiné à se positionner sur l'avant du vêtement et comportant des moyens complémentaires de fixation destinés à coopérer avec les moyens de fixation de l'embase, notamment à travers le vêtement, pour une fixation amovible sur le vêtement ;
ce dispositif étant remarquable en ce que:
  • l'embase présente une première et une seconde extrémités opposées, et les moyens de fixation comportent des premiers moyens de fixation disposés sur la première extrémité de l'embase;
  • le support présente une forme générale d'arche avec une première et une seconde extrémités opposées reliées entre elles par un bras central élastiquement déformable, et les moyens complémentaires de fixation comportent des premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation disposés sur la première extrémité du support et coopérant avec les premiers moyens de fixation de l'embase ;
en ce que, lorsque les premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation du support coopèrent avec les premiers moyens de fixation de l'embase, le bras central occupe naturellement une position de repos dans laquelle ledit bras central plaque la seconde extrémité du support sur la seconde extrémité de l'embase;
et en ce que la seconde extrémité du support est biseautée pour permettre l'introduction d'au moins une branche de la paire de lunettes entre les secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase qui conduit à l'éloignement de ces secondes extrémités l'une de l'autre suite à la déformation élastique du bras central.For this purpose, it proposes a device for supporting a pair of glasses on a garment, of the type comprising:
  • a base for positioning on the back of the garment and having fastening means; and
  • a support for the pair of spectacles intended to be positioned on the front of the garment and comprising complementary fastening means intended to cooperate with the fastening means of the base, in particular through the garment, for a removable fastening on the garment; ;
this device being remarkable in that:
  • the base has first and second opposite ends, and the fixing means comprise first fastening means disposed on the first end of the base;
  • the support has a general arch shape with first and second opposite ends interconnected by an elastically deformable central arm, and the complementary fixing means comprise first complementary fastening means disposed on the first end of the support and cooperating with the first fastening means of the base;
in that, when the first complementary fixing means of the support cooperate with the first fastening means of the base, the central arm naturally occupies a rest position in which the said central arm plate the second end of the support on the second end of the base;
and in that the second end of the support is beveled to allow the introduction of at least one branch of the pair of spectacles between the second ends of the support and the base which leads to the removal of these second ends the one of the other following the elastic deformation of the central arm.

Ainsi, avec un tel dispositif de support, il suffit d'introduire latéralement l'une ou les deux branches de la paire de lunettes dans le support. Il est entendu par introduction latérale une introduction selon un mouvement de translation perpendiculaire aux branches. Aucun centrage n'est nécessaire, il suffit juste de positionner les lunettes verticalement sur le vêtement, au niveau du dispositif de support, et de les faire glisser latéralement sur le vêtement pour effectuer une sorte de cisaillement qui écartent les secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase l'une de l'autre.Thus, with such a support device, it is sufficient to introduce laterally one or both branches of the pair of glasses in the support. It is understood by lateral introduction an introduction according to a translation movement perpendicular to the branches. No centering is necessary, it is sufficient to position the glasses vertically on the garment, at the support device, and to slide them laterally on the garment to perform a kind of shear that separate the second ends of the support and the base of one another.

Lors de cette introduction latérale, la ou les branches de lunettes sont guidées entre les secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase plaquées naturellement l'une contre l'autre (ce guidage étant favorisé par la forme biseautée de la seconde extrémité du support), puis ces secondes extrémités s'écartent l'une de l'autre (cet écartement étant autorisé grâce au bras central élastiquement déformable qui fléchit sous l'effet de cette introduction), ensuite la ou les branches de lunettes rentrent à l'intérieur du support en forme d'arche, et enfin les secondes extrémités reviennent automatiquement se plaquées l'une contre l'autre (sous l'effet du bras central qui recouvre naturellement sa position de repos) pour interdire toute sortie intempestive de la paire de lunettes hors du support.During this lateral introduction, the one or more branches of the spectacles are guided between the second ends of the support and of the base that are naturally pressed against each other (this guidance being favored by the beveled shape of the second end of the support) , then these second ends deviate from each other (this spacing being authorized thanks to the elastically deformable central arm which flexes under the effect of this introduction), then the glasses or branches come into the interior of the arch support, and finally the second ends automatically come back pressed against each other (under the effect of the central arm which naturally covers its rest position) to prohibit untimely exit of the pair of glasses out of the support.

Dans une réalisation particulière:

  • les moyens de fixation comportent en outre des seconds moyens de fixation amovible disposés sur la seconde extrémité de l'embase ;
  • les moyens complémentaires de fixation comportent en outre des seconds moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible disposés sur la seconde extrémité du support et coopérant avec les seconds moyens de fixation amovible de l'embase pour une établir une liaison amovible entre les secondes extrémités de l'embase et du support qui est séparable par cisaillement dans un plan sensiblement parallèle au bras central;
et les premiers moyens de fixation de l'embase exerce une première force de liaison sur les premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation du support, les seconds moyens de fixation amovible de l'embase exerce une seconde force de liaison amovible sur les seconds moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible du support, et la première force de liaison présente une valeur supérieure à la seconde force de liaison.In a particular embodiment:
  • the fixing means further comprise second removable fixing means disposed on the second end of the base;
  • the additional fastening means further comprise second complementary removable fixing means arranged on the second end of the support and cooperating with the second removable fastening means of the base for a detachable connection between the second ends of the base and support which is separable by shear in a plane substantially parallel to the central arm;
and the first fastening means of the base exerts a first binding force on the first complementary fastening means of the support, the second removable fastening means of the base exerts a second detachable connection force on the second complementary fastening means removable from the support, and the first binding force has a value greater than the second binding force.

L'emploi de ces seconds moyens de fixation permettent avantageusement de garantir le plaquage l'une contre l'autre des secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase. Le fait que la seconde force de liaison soit plus faible que la première force de liaison permet d'avoir une bonne fixation amovible du support sur l'embase (avec une première force de liaison plus élevée), tout en ayant peu d'effort à fournir pour écarter l'une de l'autre les secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase lors de l'introduction de la paire de lunettes (cet écartement nécessitant bien entendu de rompre la seconde liaison amovible, ce qui est permis en ayant une seconde force de liaison plus faible).The use of these second fixing means advantageously ensure the plating against each other of the second ends of the support and the base. The fact that the second binding force is weaker than the first binding force makes it possible to have good removable attachment of the support on the base (with a first higher linkage force), while having little effort to provide to separate from each other the second ends of the support and the base when the introduction of the pair of glasses (this gap of course requiring to break the second removable link, which is allowed by having a second lower link strength).

Selon une caractéristique, l'un des seconds moyens de fixation amovible et des seconds moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible comportent au moins un aimant, et l'autre des seconds moyens de fixation amovible et des seconds moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible comportent au moins un aimant de polarité inverse ou au moins un élément ferromagnétique pour former une seconde liaison magnétique amovible entre ces deux seconds moyens.According to one feature, one of the second removable attachment means and second complementary removable attachment means comprise at least one magnet, and the other second removable attachment means and second complementary removable attachment means comprise at least one magnet of inverse polarity or at least one ferromagnetic element to form a second removable magnetic link between these two second means.

L'avantage d'employer des aimants est de permettre de contrôler facilement la valeur de la seconde force de liaison.The advantage of using magnets is to allow easy control of the value of the second bonding force.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, les premiers moyens de fixation de l'embase et les premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation du support constituent des moyens de fixation solidaire de sorte que les premières extrémités du support et de l'embase sont solidaires l'une de l'autre.In a first embodiment, the first fastening means of the base and the first complementary means for fixing the support constitute fastening means secured so that the first ends of the support and the base are integral with one of the other.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif de support est constitué d'une seule pièce avec une embase et un support solidaires l'un de l'autre. Un tel dispositif se fixe sur le vêtement tel une pince sur une bordure verticale du vêtement.In this first embodiment, the support device consists of a single piece with a base and a support integral with one another. Such a device is attached to the garment such as a clip on a vertical border of the garment.

Dans un second mode de réalisation, les premiers moyens de fixation de l'embase et les premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation du support constituent des moyens de fixation amovible de sorte que les premières extrémités du support et de l'embase sont fixées de manière amovible l'une à l'autre, notamment à travers le vêtement en situation.In a second embodiment, the first fastening means of the base and the first complementary means for fixing the support are removable fastening means so that the first ends of the support and the base are removably attached. one to the other, especially through the garment in situation.

Dans ce second mode de réalisation, le dispositif de support est constitué de deux pièces distinctes, à savoir l'embase et le support, qui coopèrent de manière amovible à travers le vêtement.In this second embodiment, the support device consists of two separate parts, namely the base and the support, which cooperate removably through the garment.

Selon une caractéristique de ce second mode de réalisation, l'un des premiers moyens de fixation amovible et des premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible comportent au moins un aimant, et l'autre des premiers moyens de fixation amovible et des premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible comportent au moins un aimant de polarité inverse ou au moins un élément ferromagnétique pour former une première liaison magnétique amovible entre ces deux premiers moyens.According to a characteristic of this second embodiment, one of the first removable fastening means and first removable fastening complementary means comprise at least one magnet, and the other of the first removable fastening means and first complementary fixing means removable element comprise at least one magnet reverse polarity or at least one ferromagnetic element to form a first removable magnetic link between these two first means.

L'avantage d'employer des aimants est de permettre de contrôler facilement la valeur de la première force de liaison.The advantage of using magnets is to allow easy control of the value of the first bonding force.

Dans le mode de réalisation avec deux liaisons magnétiques amovibles, les moyens de fixation amovible et les moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible sont conformés pour que la seconde liaison magnétique amovible établisse une seconde force de liaison magnétique de valeur inférieure à celle de la première force de liaison magnétique établie par la première liaison magnétique amovible.In the embodiment with two removable magnetic bonds, the removable fastening means and the additional removable fastening means are shaped so that the second removable magnetic bond establishes a second magnetic bonding force of value less than that of the first bonding force. magnet established by the first removable magnetic link.

Pour établir cette différence entre les deux forces de liaison magnétique, trois possibilités sont envisageables, seules ou en combinaison.To establish this difference between the two magnetic bonding forces, three possibilities are possible, alone or in combination.

Selon une première possibilité, les premiers moyens de fixation amovible et les premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible présentent une première surface d'aimantation, les seconds moyens de fixation amovible et les seconds moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible présentent une seconde surface d'aimantation, et la première surface d'aimantation est supérieure à la seconde surface d'aimantation. Ainsi, on joue avec le rapport entre les deux surfaces d'aimantation pour établir deux forces de liaison distinctes aux extrémités du dispositif de support.According to a first possibility, the first removable fixing means and the first additional removable fixing means have a first magnetization surface, the second removable fixing means and the second additional removable fixing means have a second magnetization surface, and the first magnetization surface is greater than the second magnetization surface. Thus, the relationship between the two magnetization surfaces is used to establish two distinct bonding forces at the ends of the support device.

Selon une deuxième possibilité, les premiers moyens de fixation amovible et les premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible comportent plus d'aimant et/ou d'élément ferromagnétique que les seconds moyens de fixation amovible et les seconds moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible. Ainsi, on joue avec le nombre d'aimants pour établir deux forces de liaison distinctes aux extrémités du dispositif de support.According to a second possibility, the first removable fixing means and the first additional removable fixing means comprise more magnet and / or ferromagnetic element than the second removable fixing means and the second additional removable fixing means. Thus, one plays with the number of magnets to establish two distinct bonding forces at the ends of the support device.

Selon une troisième possibilité, les premiers moyens de fixation amovible et les premiers moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible utilisent pour le ou les aimants et/ou le ou les éléments ferromagnétiques un ou plusieurs matériaux magnétiques distincts de ceux utilisés pour le ou les aimants et/ou le ou les éléments ferromagnétiques des seconds moyens de fixation amovible et des seconds moyens complémentaires de fixation amovible. Ainsi, on joue avec les matériaux magnétiques pour établir deux forces de liaison distinctes aux extrémités du dispositif de support.According to a third possibility, the first removable fixing means and the first additional removable fixing means use for the magnet (s) and / or the ferromagnetic element (s) one or more magnetic materials different from those used for the magnet (s) and / or the ferromagnetic element or elements of the second removable fixing means and second complementary removable fixing means. Thus, magnetic materials are used to establish two distinct bonding forces at the ends of the support device.

De façon avantageuse, le support présente à sa seconde extrémité un bossage, notamment en forme générale de mamelon conique ou de prisme à base triangulaire, présentant deux partie inclinée opposées et convergentes avec, d'une part, une partie inclinée extérieure définissant le biseau de la seconde extrémité guidant l'introduction de la ou des branches de la paire de lunettes dans le support et, d'autre part, une partie inclinée intérieure définissant une rampe guidant l'extraction de la ou des branches de la paire de lunettes hors du support.Advantageously, the support has at its second end a boss, particularly in the general shape of conical nipple or prism triangular base, having two opposite inclined and convergent parts with, on the one hand, an external inclined portion defining the bevel of the second end guiding the introduction of the or branches of the pair of glasses into the support and, d on the other hand, an inner inclined portion defining a ramp guiding the extraction of the branch (s) of the pair of spectacles from the support.

Ainsi, en employant un tel bossage, on peut guider non seulement l'introduction de la paire de lunettes, et également son extraction.Thus, by employing such a boss, one can guide not only the introduction of the pair of glasses, and also its extraction.

De plus, la forme en mamelon conique est particulièrement avantageuse pour permettre une introduction de la ou des branches de lunettes plus ou moins en biais par rapport à la verticale.In addition, the tapered nipple shape is particularly advantageous to allow introduction of the or more of the glasses branches at an angle to the vertical.

Dans une réalisation particulière, l'embase présente une forme générale d'arche avec sa première et sa seconde extrémité reliées entre elles par un bras central élastiquement déformable, cette embase présentant de préférence une géométrie identique à celle du support avec notamment une seconde extrémité de l'embase biseautée.In a particular embodiment, the base has a generally arched shape with its first and second ends interconnected by an elastically deformable central arm, this base preferably having a geometry identical to that of the support including a second end of the beveled base.

En utilisant une embase géométriquement proche voire identique au support, on améliore encore le comportement du dispositif lors de l'introduction/extraction de la paire de lunettes. En outre, cela permet de fabriquer en série des supports et embases à partir d'une même base géométrique, réduisant ainsi les coûts de fabrication en limitant la diversité des pièces.By using a base geometrically close or identical to the support, the behavior of the device during the introduction / extraction of the pair of spectacles is further improved. In addition, this allows mass production of supports and bases from the same geometric base, thus reducing manufacturing costs by limiting the diversity of parts.

L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé de support d'une paire de lunettes sur un vêtement, consistant à employer un dispositif de support conforme à l'invention avec les étapes suivantes:

  • mise en place du dispositif de support sur le vêtement en positionnant l'embase sur l'arrière du vêtement, en positionnant le support sur l'avant du vêtement et en faisant coopérer les moyens de fixation de l'embase avec les moyens complémentaires de fixation du support, à travers le vêtement, pour une fixation amovible sur le vêtement ;
  • mise en butée d'au moins une branche de la paire de lunettes contre la seconde extrémité biseautée du support;
  • poussée de la ou des branches de la paire de lunettes contre la seconde extrémité biseautée du support en direction de la première extrémité du support, cette poussé exerçant un effort de cisaillement qui éloigne les secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase l'une de l'autre, cet éloignement étant permis par la déformation élastique du bras central;
  • introduction de la ou des branches de la paire de lunettes entre les secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase, jusqu'à se positionner entre les deux extrémités du support pour un maintien de la paire de lunettes sur le bras central du support, le bras central recouvrant une position de repos dans laquelle ledit bras central plaque la seconde extrémité du support sur la seconde extrémité de l'embase.
The invention also relates to a method for supporting a pair of spectacles on a garment, consisting in using a support device according to the invention with the following steps:
  • placing the support device on the garment by positioning the base on the back of the garment, by positioning the support on the front of the garment and by cooperating the fixing means of the base with the complementary fastening means the support, through the garment, for removable attachment to the garment;
  • abutting at least one limb of the pair of spectacles against the second beveled end of the support;
  • pushing the one or more branches of the pair of spectacles against the second beveled end of the support towards the first end of the support, this thrust exerting a shear force which distances the second ends of the support and the base of one another, this distance being allowed by the elastic deformation of the central arm;
  • introduction of the pair or branches of the pair of spectacles between the second ends of the support and the base, until it is positioned between the two ends of the support for holding the pair of spectacles on the central arm of the support, the central arm covering a rest position in which said central arm plate the second end of the support on the second end of the base.

Les figures 1 à 3 illustrent un dispositif de support 1 conforme à l'invention, pour supporter une paire de lunettes L sur un vêtement V porté par l'utilisateur de la paire de lunettes L.The Figures 1 to 3 illustrate a support device 1 according to the invention for supporting a pair of glasses L on a garment V worn by the user of the pair of glasses L.

Ce dispositif de support 1 comporte les deux pièces distinctes suivantes:

  • une embase 2 destinée à se positionner sur l'arrière du vêtement V et comportant des moyens de fixation ; et
  • un support 3 de la paire de lunettes L destiné à se positionner sur l'avant du vêtement V et comportant les destinés à coopérer à travers le vêtement V avec les moyens de fixation de l'embase pour une fixation amovible sur le vêtement V.
This support device 1 comprises the following two distinct parts:
  • a base 2 intended to be positioned on the back of the garment V and having fixing means; and
  • a support 3 of the pair of glasses L intended to be positioned on the front of the garment V and having the intended to cooperate through the garment V with the fastening means of the base for a removable attachment to the garment V.

Les moyens de fixation de l'embase 2 et les moyens complémentaires de fixation du support 3 sont du type moyen de fixation par aimantation ou par liaison magnétique amovible, et comprennent :

  • deux aimants 21, 22 montés sur l'embase 2 ; et
  • deux aimants de polarité inverse ou deux éléments ferromagnétiques 31, 32 montés sur le support 3.
The fastening means of the base 2 and the complementary fixing means of the support 3 are of the type of attachment by magnetization or by removable magnetic connection, and include:
  • two magnets 21, 22 mounted on the base 2; and
  • two magnets of inverse polarity or two ferromagnetic elements 31, 32 mounted on the support 3.

Il est bien entendu envisageable que le support 3 intègre deux aimants et que l'embase 2 intègre deux éléments ferromagnétiques. Pour la suite de la description, nous estimerons que l'embase 2 intègre deux aimants 21, 22 et le support 3 intègre deux aimants 31, 32 de polarité inverse.It is of course conceivable that the support 3 integrates two magnets and that the base 2 integrates two ferromagnetic elements. For the rest of the description, we will estimate that the base 2 integrates two magnets 21, 22 and the support 3 incorporates two magnets 31, 32 of inverse polarity.

A l'exception des aimants, l'embase 2 et le support 3 présente une géométrie identique. De façon plus spécifique, l'embase 2 et le support 3 sont réalisés à partir de deux pièces 4 identiques, ou du moins similaires. Chaque pièce 4 est réalisée d'un seul tenant, autrement dit elle est du type monobloc. Cette pièce 4 est réalisée dans un matériau plastique, notamment par un procédé de moulage d'une matière plastique.With the exception of magnets, the base 2 and the support 3 has an identical geometry. More specifically, the base 2 and the support 3 are made from two identical pieces 4, or at least similar. Each piece 4 is made in one piece, in other words it is of the monobloc type. This piece 4 is made of a plastic material, in particular by a method of molding a plastic material.

Ainsi, l'embase 2 comporte une pièce 4 supportant les deux aimants 21, 22, tandis que le support 3 comporte une autre pièce 4 supportant les deux autres aimants 31, 31.Thus, the base 2 comprises a part 4 supporting the two magnets 21, 22, while the support 3 comprises another part 4 supporting the other two magnets 31, 31.

En référence aux figures 4 à 6, chaque pièce 4 comporte une plaque sensiblement plane et rectangulaire présentant deux extrémités 41, 42 opposées dans la direction longitudinale et de laquelle font saillie :

  • sur la première extrémité 41, un premier bossage 43 en forme générale de pyramide tronquée pourvue d'une première cavité 44 ouverte de forme générale parallélépipédique ; et
  • sur la seconde extrémité 42, un second bossage 45 en forme générale de mamelon conique pourvue d'une seconde cavité 46 ouverte de forme générale cylindrique.
With reference to Figures 4 to 6 each piece 4 comprises a substantially flat and rectangular plate having two ends 41, 42 opposite in the longitudinal direction and from which protrude:
  • on the first end 41, a first boss 43 generally truncated pyramid shape provided with a first cavity 44 open generally parallelepiped shape; and
  • on the second end 42, a second boss 45 in the general conical nipple shape provided with a second cavity 46 open generally cylindrical shape.

Entre les deux extrémités 41, 42 de chaque pièce 4, autrement dit entre les deux bossages 43, 45, la plaque sensiblement plane définit un bras central 47 reliant entre elles ces deux extrémités 41, 42. Ce bras central 47, de forme sensiblement plane, est élastiquement déformable. Avec ces deux bossages 43, 45 et ce bras central 47, chaque pièce 4 et donc aussi le support 3 et l'embase 2 présentent une forme générale d'arche en « U ».Between the two ends 41, 42 of each piece 4, in other words between the two bosses 43, 45, the substantially flat plate defines an arm central 47 interconnecting these two ends 41, 42. This central arm 47 of substantially planar shape is elastically deformable. With these two bosses 43, 45 and this central arm 47, each piece 4 and thus also the support 3 and the base 2 have a general shape of arch "U".

En situation, et comme illustré sur les figures 2 et 3, le bras central 47 occupe naturellement une position de repos dans laquelle le bras central 47 plaque la seconde extrémité 42 de la pièce 4 du support 3 sur la seconde extrémité 42 de la pièce 4 de l'embase 2. Ainsi, le dispositif de support 1 occupe naturellement une configuration dans laquelle les bras centraux 47 du support 3 et de l'embase 2 délimitent intérieurement un orifice 5 fermé d'un côté par les premières extrémités 41, en appui l'une contre l'autre, et de l'autre côté par les secondes extrémités 42 en appui l'une contre l'autre.In situation, and as illustrated on Figures 2 and 3 , the central arm 47 naturally occupies a rest position in which the central arm 47 plates the second end 42 of the part 4 of the support 3 on the second end 42 of the part 4 of the base 2. Thus, the support device 1 naturally occupies a configuration in which the central arms 47 of the support 3 and the base 2 internally delimit an orifice 5 closed on one side by the first ends 41, bearing against each other, and the other side by the second ends 42 resting against each other.

La première cavité 44 accueille un aimant de forme générale parallélépipédique, en l'occurrence le premier aimant 21 pour l'embase 2 ou le premier aimant 31 pour le support 3. Pour maintenir le premier aimant 21 ou 31 à l'intérieur de la première cavité 44, chaque pièce 4 comporte deux pattes longitudinales ou crochets 48 faisant saillie intérieurement dans la première cavité 41, sur les deux côtés longitudinaux de cette première cavité 44. En complément ou en variante de ces pattes ou crochets 48, il est envisageable de coller et/ou monter en force le premier aimant 21 ou 31 à l'intérieur de la première cavité 44.The first cavity 44 accommodates a magnet of parallelepipedal general shape, in this case the first magnet 21 for the base 2 or the first magnet 31 for the support 3. To maintain the first magnet 21 or 31 inside the first cavity 44, each piece 4 comprises two longitudinal tabs or hooks 48 projecting internally into the first cavity 41, on the two longitudinal sides of this first cavity 44. In addition or as a variant of these tabs or hooks 48, it is possible to glue and / or forcibly mounting the first magnet 21 or 31 inside the first cavity 44.

La seconde cavité 46 accueille un aimant de forme générale cylindrique, en l'occurrence le second aimant 22 pour l'embase 2 ou le second aimant 32 pour le support 3. Pour maintenir le second aimant 22 ou 32 à l'intérieur de la seconde cavité 46, chaque pièce 4 comporte une réduction de diamètre 49 au niveau de l'ouverture de la seconde cavité 46. En complément ou en variante de cette réduction de diamètre 49, il est envisageable de coller et/ou monter en force le second aimant 22 ou 32 à l'intérieur de la seconde cavité 46.The second cavity 46 accommodates a magnet of generally cylindrical shape, in this case the second magnet 22 for the base 2 or the second magnet 32 for the support 3. To hold the second magnet 22 or 32 inside the second cavity 46, each piece 4 has a diameter reduction 49 at the opening of the second cavity 46. In addition or as a variant of this diameter reduction 49, it is conceivable to glue and / or to force the second magnet 22 or 32 within the second cavity 46.

Du fait de sa forme générale de mamelon conique, le second bossage 45 définit extérieurement deux partie inclinée opposées et convergentes, c'est-à-dire en forme de rampe, à savoir une partie inclinée intérieure 450, située du côté du bras central 47 en regard du premier bossage 43, et une partie inclinée extérieure 451 opposée. La partie inclinée extérieure 451 permet ainsi à la pièce 4 de présenter une seconde extrémité biseautée, utile pour permettre l'introduction de la paire de lunettes L dans le dispositif de support 1.Due to its generally conical nipple shape, the second boss 45 externally defines two opposed and convergent inclined portions, that is to say in the form of a ramp, namely an inner inclined portion 450, situated on the side of the central arm 47 facing the first boss 43, and an outer inclined portion 451 opposite. The external inclined portion 451 thus allows the piece 4 to present a second beveled end, useful for allowing the introduction of the pair of glasses L into the support device 1.

La première liaison magnétique amovible réalisée par les deux premiers aimants 21, 31 présente une force de liaison, dite première force de liaison magnétique, dont la valeur est proportionnelle à la surface de contact entre ces deux premiers aimants 21, 31, dite première surface magnétique. De même, la seconde liaison magnétique amovible réalisée par les deux seconds aimants 22, 32 présente une force de liaison, dite seconde force de liaison magnétique, dont la valeur est proportionnelle à la surface de contact entre ces deux seconds aimants 22, 32, dite seconde surface magnétique.The first removable magnetic link produced by the first two magnets 21, 31 has a bonding force, called the first magnetic bonding force, the value of which is proportional to the contact surface between these first two magnets 21, 31, referred to as the first magnetic surface. . Similarly, the second removable magnetic link formed by the two second magnets 22, 32 has a bonding force, called a second magnetic bonding force, the value of which is proportional to the contact surface between these two second magnets 22, 32, so-called second magnetic surface.

La première surface magnétique est équivalente à la surface rectangulaire libre présentée les deux premiers aimants 21, 31, tandis que la seconde surface magnétique est équivalente à la surface circulaire libre présentée les deux seconds aimants 22, 32. Les aimants 21, 31, 22, 32 sont dimensionnées de telle sorte que la première surface magnétique est supérieure à la seconde surface magnétique, afin que la valeur de la première force de liaison magnétique soit supérieure à la valeur de la seconde force de liaison magnétique.The first magnetic surface is equivalent to the free rectangular surface presented the first two magnets 21, 31, while the second magnetic surface is equivalent to the free circular surface presented the second two magnets 22, 32. The magnets 21, 31, 22, 32 are dimensioned such that the first magnetic surface is greater than the second magnetic surface, so that the value of the first magnetic bonding force is greater than the value of the second magnetic bonding force.

Pour que la valeur de la première force de liaison magnétique soit supérieure à la valeur de la seconde force de liaison magnétique, deux autres possibilités non illustrées sont également envisageables.In order for the value of the first magnetic bonding force to be greater than the value of the second magnetic bonding force, two other non-illustrated possibilities are also conceivable.

Premièrement, il est possible de disposer plus d'aimants sur la première extrémité 41 de la pièce 4 que sur la seconde extrémité 42 de la pièce 4. Par exemple, le premier bossage 43 accueille plusieurs aimants (dans une ou plusieurs cavités), tandis que le second bossage 45 accueille un seul aimant. De cette manière, la première surface magnétique (équivalente à la somme des surfaces magnétiques offertes par les aimants disposés sur la première extrémité 41 de la pièce 4) est supérieure à la seconde surface magnétique.First, it is possible to have more magnets on the first end 41 of the part 4 than on the second end 42 of the part 4. For example, the first boss 43 accommodates several magnets (in one or more cavities), while that the second boss 45 accommodates a single magnet. In this way, the first magnetic surface (equivalent to the sum of the magnetic surfaces offered by the magnets disposed on the first end 41 of the part 4) is greater than the second magnetic surface.

Deuxièmement, il est possible de disposer sur la première extrémité 41 de la pièce 4 un ou plusieurs aimants réalisés dans un premier matériau magnétique, et de disposer sur la seconde extrémité 42 de la pièce 4 un ou plusieurs aimants réalisés dans un second matériau magnétique, où le premier matériau magnétique offre une capacité d'aimantation supérieure à celle du second matériau, pour au final avoir une première force de liaison magnétique de valeur supérieure à celle de la seconde force de liaison magnétique.Second, it is possible to have on the first end 41 of the part 4 one or more magnets made of a first magnetic material, and to have on the second end 42 of the part 4 one or more magnets made of a second magnetic material, where the first magnetic material has a greater magnetization capacity than the second material, to finally have a first bonding force magnetic value greater than that of the second magnetic bonding force.

Le fonctionnement de ce dispositif de support 1 est décrit ci-après en référence aux figures 3 et 7a à 7d.The operation of this support device 1 is described below with reference to figures 3 and 7a to 7d .

Premièrement, et comme illustré sur les figures 7a et 3, l'utilisateur met en place le dispositif de support 1 sur le vêtement V en positionnant l'embase 2 (non visible) sur l'arrière du vêtement V, en positionnant le support 3 sur l'avant du vêtement V et en faisant coopérer, à travers le vêtement V, les aimants 21, 22 de l'embase 2 avec les aimants 31, 32 du support 3, pour une fixation amovible sur le vêtement V.First, and as illustrated in the figures 7a and 3 , the user sets up the support device 1 on the garment V by positioning the base 2 (not visible) on the back of the garment V, by positioning the support 3 on the front of the garment V and by cooperating , through the garment V, the magnets 21, 22 of the base 2 with the magnets 31, 32 of the support 3, for a removable attachment to the garment V.

Deuxièmement, et comme illustré sur la figure 7a, l'utilisateur place une seule ou les deux branches B de la paire de lunettes L en butée contre la seconde extrémité 42 biseautée du support 3.Second, and as illustrated on the figure 7a , the user places one or both branches B of the pair of glasses L in abutment against the second end 42 beveled support 3.

Troisièmement, et comme illustré sur la figure 7b, l'utilisateur pousse la ou les branches B de la paire de lunettes L contre la seconde extrémité 42 biseautée du support 3, en direction de la première extrémité 41 du support 3 ; cette poussé étant schématisé par la flèche P.Third, and as illustrated on the figure 7b , the user pushes or branches B of the pair of glasses L against the second end 42 beveled support 3, towards the first end 41 of the support 3; this push being shown schematically by the arrow P.

Cet effort de poussée conjugué à la forme biseautée des secondes extrémités 42 du support 3 et de l'embase 2, exerce un effort de cisaillement qui éloigne ces secondes extrémités 42 l'une de l'autre ; cet éloignement étant permis par la déformation élastique du bras central 47, le bras fléchissant lors de cette poussée comme schématisé par la flèche FL sur la figure 7b.This thrust force combined with the beveled shape of the second ends 42 of the support 3 and the base 2, exerts a shear force which moves these second ends 42 away from each other; this distance being allowed by the elastic deformation of the central arm 47, the arm flexing during this push as shown schematically by the arrow FL on the figure 7b .

Quatrièmement, et comme illustré sur la figure 7c, on termine l'introduction des branches B de la paire de lunettes L, entre les secondes extrémités 42 du support 3 et de l'embase 2, jusqu'à se positionner entre les deux extrémités 41, 42 du support 3, en regard du bras central 47 ; le bras central 47 recouvrant alors sa position de repos initiale dans laquelle le bras central 47 plaque la seconde extrémité 42 du support 3 sur la seconde extrémité 42 de l'embase 2.Fourth, and as illustrated on the Figure 7c , the insertion of the branches B of the pair of glasses L, between the second ends 42 of the support 3 and the base 2 is completed, until it is positioned between the two ends 41, 42 of the support 3, opposite the central arm 47; the central arm 47 then covering its initial rest position in which the central arm 47 plates the second end 42 of the support 3 on the second end 42 of the base 2.

Cinquièmement, et comme illustré sur la figure 7d, l'utilisateur relâche la paire de lunettes L qui vient se maintenir sur le bras central 47 du support 3.Fifth, and as illustrated on the figure 7d , the user releases the pair of glasses L which is maintained on the central arm 47 of the support 3.

Bien entendu l'exemple de mise en oeuvre évoqué ci-dessus ne présente aucun caractère limitatif et d'autres améliorations et détails peuvent être apportés au dispositif de support selon l'invention, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention où d'autres formes de moyens de fixation peuvent être réalisées.Of course the implementation example mentioned above is not limiting in nature and further improvements and details can be made to the support device according to the invention, without departing of the scope of the invention where other forms of fastening means can be realized.

Par exemple, dans une première variante non illustrée, le dispositif de support 1 est constitué d'une seule pièce avec la première extrémité de l'embase solidaire de la première extrémité du support ; un tel dispositif se fixant sur le vêtement tel une pince sur une bordure verticale du vêtement.For example, in a first variant not shown, the support device 1 consists of a single piece with the first end of the base secured to the first end of the support; such a device attaching to the garment such as a clip on a vertical border of the garment.

Dans une deuxième variante, le dispositif de support 1 ne présente pas de moyens de fixation sur les secondes extrémités du support et de l'embase. Ces secondes extrémités sont simplement plaquées l'une contre l'autre en situation de repos, du fait de la géométrie et de la configuration des bras centraux du support et de l'embase.In a second variant, the support device 1 does not have fixing means on the second ends of the support and the base. These second ends are simply pressed against each other in a rest situation, because of the geometry and configuration of the central arms of the support and the base.

Dans une troisième variante, les aimants placés sur les premières extrémités de l'embase et du support peuvent être remplacés par d'autres moyens de fixation amovible, comme par exemple un système de fixation à pointe du type pin's ou épinglette.In a third variant, the magnets placed on the first ends of the base and the support can be replaced by other removable fastening means, such as for example a pin-type fastening system or pin.

Dans une quatrième variante, l'embase peut présenter une forme complètement plane, non arquée, distincte de celle du support.In a fourth variant, the base may have a completely flat, non-arcuate shape, distinct from that of the support.

Dans une réalisation perfectionnée, le support présente sur sa face avant visible une surface de réception d'une information, telle qu'un logo publicitaire, un nom, une marque, etc.In an improved embodiment, the support has on its visible front surface a receiving surface of information, such as an advertising logo, a name, a brand, etc.
