Description

L'invention a trait à un couvre-chef transformable.The invention relates to a transformable headgear.

Par couvre-chef, on désigne ici un accessoire vestimentaire adapté pour couvrir la tête d'une personne, que ce soit un adulte ou un enfant. Ce couvre-chef peut être un chapeau, une casquette, un casque, un béret ou un bonnet.By headgear, is meant here a clothing accessory adapted to cover the head of a person, whether an adult or a child. This headgear can be a hat, a cap, a helmet, a beret or a hat.

On connaît par US-A-5 328 399 un couvre-chef en tissu, souple, transformable par retournement en un autre objet. Ce couvre-chef, configuré en un casque ou une casquette une fois retourné, forme un article de sport, tel qu'un ballon, ou une reproduction d'une voiture. Les parois constitutives de ce couvre-chef sont rembourrées de sorte que, lorsqu'on les retourne, elles maintiennent en forme l'article de sport ou la reproduction de voiture. Ce couvre-chef est pourvu d'un organe de fermeture de type fermeture à glissières. Un tel couvre-chef ne peut être transformé qu'en un seul autre objet.We know by US-A-5,328,399 a fabric headgear, flexible, convertible by turning into another object. This headgear, configured as a helmet or cap when returned, forms a sports article, such as a balloon, or a reproduction of a car. The constituent walls of this headgear are padded so that when returned, they keep in shape the sporting article or the car reproduction. This headgear is provided with a closure member of the zipper type. Such a headgear can only be transformed into one other object.

On connaît par WO 00/06276 un couvre-chef comprenant une figurine et transformable en plusieurs objets par retournements successifs. Dans la configuration couvre-chef, la figurine est au moins partiellement masquée par la tête de l'utilisateur.We know by WO 00/06276 a headgear comprising a figurine and convertible into several objects by successive turns. In the headgear configuration, the figure is at least partially hidden by the user's head.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend remédier l'invention en proposant un couvre-chef comprenant une figurine transformable en différents objets par retournements successifs, sans pour autant que le couvre-chef masque la figurine.It is these drawbacks that the invention intends to remedy by proposing a headgear comprising a figurine convertible into different objects by successive reversals, without the headgear hiding the figurine.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un couvre-chef transformable en au moins un autre objet, ce couvre-chef comprenant une figurine pourvue d'une base creuse délimitant, dans au moins une première configuration, un objet équipé d'un volume de réception d'un élément, la base creuse, formant par retournement partiel, dans une deuxième configuration un deuxième objet pourvu d'un autre volume de réception. , formant, par retournement total dans une troisième configuration, un troisième objet. Ce couvre-chef est caractérisé en ce que dans la première configuration, le volume de réception est adapté pour couvrir la tête d'un utilisateur, une face interne de la base de la figurine couvrant la tête de l'utilisateur de manière que la figurine soit entièrement visible.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a headgear convertible into at least one other object, this headgear comprising a figurine provided with a hollow base delimiting, in at least one first configuration, an object equipped with a receiving volume of an element, the hollow base forming, by partial inversion, in a second configuration a second object provided with another receiving volume. forming, by total reversal in a third configuration, a third object. This headgear is characterized in that in the first configuration, the reception volume is adapted to cover the head of a user, an inner face of the base of the figurine covering the head of the user so that the figurine be fully visible.

Ainsi, avec une figurine creuse constitutive du couvre-chef on peut réaliser plusieurs objets.Thus, with a hollow figure constituting the headgear can be achieved several objects.

Selon des aspects avantageux mais non obligatoires de l'invention, le couvre-chef peut incorporer une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • Le couvre-chef est équipé d'un organe de fermeture des volumes de réception de la base.
  • Dans une autre configuration du couvre-chef, le volume de réception de la base creuse est fermé par l'organe de fermeture, le couvre-chef formant un quatrième objet.
  • Le couvre-chef est équipé d'un organe formant un organe de maintien en position du couvre-chef dans au moins une configuration et un organe de préhension dans au moins une autre configuration.
  • Le couvre-chef comprend un moyen d'émission d'une musique ou d'un message audio.
  • Le couvre-chef comprend un dispositif d'éclairage.
  • Le matériau constitutif de la base et les dimensions de celle-ci sont adaptés pour que, dans une configuration donnée, on obtienne un objet d'une densité supérieure à la densité du couvre-chef lorsque celui-ci est dans les autres configurations.
According to advantageous but non-mandatory aspects of the invention, the headgear may incorporate one or more of the following features:
  • The headgear is equipped with a closing member of the reception volumes of the base.
  • In another configuration of the headgear, the receiving volume of the hollow base is closed by the closure member, the headgear forming a fourth object.
  • The headgear is equipped with a member forming a holding member in position of the headgear in at least one configuration and a gripping member in at least one other configuration.
  • The headgear includes means for transmitting music or an audio message.
  • The headgear includes a lighting device.
  • The material constituting the base and the dimensions thereof are adapted so that, in a given configuration, one obtains an object of a density greater than the density of the headgear when it is in the other configurations.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation d'un couvre-chef transformable, conforme à l'invention, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une représentation de face d'un couvre-chef en une première configuration, en position sur une tête de mannequin,
  • la figure 2 est une vue, de côté, à la même échelle, du couvre-chef de la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une vue de face du couvre-chef, sa base creuse étant fermée et le couvre-chef étant dans une seconde configuration où il forme un second objet,
  • la figure 4 est une vue du dessous du couvre-chef, à une autre échelle, la base étant ouverte, dans une autre configuration où le couvre chef forme un autre objet,
  • la figure 5 est une vue de face du couvre-chef, dans une troisième configuration où il forme un troisième objet, la base étant partiellement retournée, et
  • la figure 6 est une vue de côté, à plus grande échelle, du couvre-chef, la base étant complètement retournée dans une quatrième configuration où le couvre-chef forme un quatrième objet.
The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an embodiment of a transformable headgear, according to the invention, given only to by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a front view of a headgear in a first configuration, in position on a manikin head,
  • the figure 2 is a side view, on the same scale, of the headdress of the figure 1 ,
  • the figure 3 is a front view of the headgear, its hollow base being closed and the headgear being in a second configuration where it forms a second object,
  • the figure 4 is a view from below of the headgear, on another scale, the base being open, in another configuration where the headdress forms another object,
  • the figure 5 is a front view of the headgear, in a third configuration where it forms a third object, the base being partially turned over, and
  • the figure 6 is a side view, on a larger scale, of the headgear, the base being completely returned to a fourth configuration where the headgear forms a fourth object.

La figure 1 représente un couvre-chef 1 comprenant une figurine 2, en l'espèce cette figurine représente un père Noël. En variante, il peut s'agir d'un personnage, d'un animal ou d'un objet, d'une représentation graphique.The figure 1 represents a headgear 1 including a figurine 2, in this case this figure represents a Santa Claus. Alternatively, it may be a character, an animal or an object, a graphic representation.

La figurine 2 est réalisée en tissu, en cuir ou en toute autre matière textile souple. Cette matière est renforcée par un matériau de remplissage, de type mousse ou laine synthétique. Ce matériau de renfort assure la structure du couvre-chef 1 et lui donne son aspect extérieur. Pour cela, le couvre-chef 1 est réalisé à partir de panneaux de textile, plus ou moins rembourrés selon la position qu'ils occupent, et qui sont cousus ensemble pour former la figurine 2. Des renforts sur les panneaux et/ou sur certaines coutures sont prévus afin d'autoriser, sans risque de détérioration, des manipulations répétées du couvre-chef 1.The figurine 2 is made of fabric, leather or any other soft textile material. This material is reinforced by a filling material, foam or synthetic wool type. This reinforcing material provides the structure of the headwear 1 and gives it its appearance. For this, the headgear 1 is made from textile panels, more or less upholstered depending on the position they occupy, and which are sewn together to form the figurine 2. Reinforcements on the panels and / or on some seams are provided to allow, without risk of deterioration, repeated handling of the headgear 1.

La face externe 3 de la figurine 2 est avantageusement réalisée en un tissu de type peluche, au toucher doux. En variante la face externe 3, ou une partie de cette face externe 3, est réalisée en une autre matière textile, par exemple en un tissu réfléchissant et/ou imperméable.The outer face 3 of the figurine 2 is advantageously made of a plush type fabric, soft touch. As a variant, the external face 3, or part of this external face 3, is made of another textile material, for example a reflective and / or impermeable fabric.

La base 4 de la figurine 2, c'est-à-dire dans l'exemple la partie inférieure du corps de celle-ci en regardant la figure 1, est creux et définit un volume V de réception d'un élément. Cet élément est, dans une première configuration illustrée aux figures 1 et 2, la tête 5 d'un utilisateur. En d'autres termes, on forme un chapeau comme premier objet. Dans ce cas, le volume V de réception est adapté pour couvrir efficacement la tête 5 d'un utilisateur. Les dimensions de la figurine 2 sont telles qu'elles couvrent non seulement la tête 5 de l'utilisateur mais également une partie des oreilles. Dans un mode de réalisation non illustré, la figurine 2 comporte une partie pouvant former une visière dans cette première configuration.The base 4 of the figurine 2, that is to say in the example the lower part of the body of this one while looking at the figure 1 , is hollow and defines a volume V of receiving an element. This element is, in a first configuration illustrated at figures 1 and 2 , the head 5 of a user. In other words, a hat is formed as the first object. In this case, the receiving volume V is adapted to effectively cover the head of a user. The dimensions of the figurine 2 are such that they cover not only the head 5 of the user but also part of the ears. In a non-illustrated embodiment, the figurine 2 has a portion that can form a visor in this first configuration.

Dans une seconde configuration, l'élément reçu dans le volume V est un article de décoration ou vestimentaire, par exemple un pyjama. On forme alors un sac 11 comme second objet.In a second configuration, the item received in the volume V is a decorative item or clothing, for example a pajamas. A bag 11 is then formed as a second object.

Dans cette configuration, le sac 11 ainsi formé est utilisable ouvert ou fermé. Pour cela, la base 4 est pourvue d'un organe de fermeture 6 du volume V de réception. Dans l'exemple, il s'agit d'une fermeture à glissières. En variante, il s'agit d'une fermeture auto-agrippante, d'un système à pression ou de boutons.In this configuration, the bag 11 thus formed can be used open or closed. For this, the base 4 is provided with a closure member 6 of the receiving volume V. In the example, it is a zipper. Alternatively, it is a Velcro closure, a pressure system or buttons.

La face interne 7 de la base 4 est avantageusement réalisée dans un matériau similaire à celui de la face externe 3 de la figurine 2, de sorte que lors d'un retournement de la base 4 l'on retrouve le même aspect et/ou les mêmes couleurs que celles de la face externe 3. En variante, les matériaux et/ou les couleurs sont différents.The inner face 7 of the base 4 is advantageously made of a material similar to that of the outer face 3 of the figurine 2, so that during a reversal of the base 4 we find the same appearance and / or the same colors as those of the outer face 3. Alternatively, the materials and / or colors are different.

Avantageusement, comme illustré aux figures 1 et 2, deux lanières 8 forment deux organes de maintien en position de la figurine 2 en configuration « chapeau », en position sur la tête 5 d'un utilisateur. Ces lanières 8 sont reliées entre elles par un dispositif connu en soi, par exemple des bandes auto-agrippantes, un bouton ou simplement nouées. En variante non illustrée, les organes de maintien permettant d'attacher le couvre-chef sur la tête de l'utilisateur sont formés directement par des éléments de la figurine 2, par exemple les jambes et non par des lanières.Advantageously, as illustrated in figures 1 and 2 two strips 8 form two holding members in the position of the figurine 2 in "hat" configuration, in position on the head 5 of a user. These strips 8 are interconnected by a device known per se, for example self-gripping strips, a button or simply knotted. As a variant not shown, the holding members for attaching the headgear to the head of the user are formed directly by elements of the figurine 2, for example the legs and not by straps.

Lorsque que le couvre chef est dans la seconde configuration, c'est-à-dire en forme de sac 11, telle qu'illustrée à la figure 4, les lanières 8 forment, une fois reliées entre elles, un organe de préhension.When the head cover is in the second configuration, that is to say in the form of a bag 11, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 , the strips 8 form, once connected together, a gripping member.

Les panneaux constitutifs de la figurine 2 sont adaptés pour que, lorsque le volume V de réception est fermé par l'organe de fermeture 6, la base 4 de la figurine 2 forme une assise permettant le maintien en au moins une position, par exemple assise, de la figurine 2 tel qu'illustré à la figure 3. Dans cette configuration, lorsque les lanières 8 sont fixées sur la face interne 7 de la base 4, elles sont dissimulées dans le volume V fermé. En variante non illustrée, la position est différente. Le couvre-chef 1 est ainsi dans une troisième configuration où, lorsque la base 4 est fermée, le couvre-chef forme un jouet, par exemple une poupée 9 ou un objet de décoration.The panels constituting the figurine 2 are adapted so that, when the receiving volume V is closed by the closure member 6, the base 4 of the figurine 2 forms a seat for holding in at least one position, for example sitting , figurine 2 as illustrated in figure 3 . In this configuration, when the strips 8 are fixed on the inner face 7 of the base 4, they are hidden in the closed volume V. In a non-illustrated variant, the position is different. The headgear 1 is thus in a third configuration where, when the base 4 is closed, the headgear forms a toy, for example a doll 9 or a decorative object.

Lorsque l'on retourne partiellement la base 2 après avoir ouvert celle-ci de sorte que sa face interne 7 soit orientée vers l'extérieur, on définit un autre volume V1 de réception dont les dimensions sont adaptées pour recevoir le reste de la figurine 2, en l'espèce les bras, le corps, les jambes et la tête de la figurine 2 comme illustré à la figure 5. Le volume V1 est inférieur au volume V.When partially returning the base 2 after opening the latter so that its inner face 7 is oriented outwardly, we define another receiving volume V1 whose dimensions are adapted to receive the rest of the figurine 2 , in this case the arms, the body, the legs and the head of the figurine 2 as illustrated in figure 5 . The volume V1 is smaller than the volume V.

L'organe de fermeture 6 est avantageusement manoeuvrable à partir des deux faces externe 3 et interne 7 de la base 4. On obtient ainsi une autre configuration du couvre-chef 1, représenté à la figure 5, où il forme un quatrième objet dans lequel une partie de la figurine 2 reste visible, par exemple la tête et le haut du corps, le reste étant inséré dans le volume V1 de la base 4 ainsi partiellement retournée. Le quatrième objet ainsi défini est de type couffin ou landau 10 accueillant une partie de la figurine 1. Il s'agit donc d'un jouet utilisable par un enfant. Dans cette configuration, en reliant ensemble les lanières 8, on forme un organe de préhension similaire à celui illustré à la figure 4.The closing member 6 is advantageously operable from the two outer 3 and inner 7 faces of the base 4. This gives another configuration of the headgear 1, shown in FIG. figure 5 , where it forms a fourth object in which a portion of the figurine 2 remains visible, for example the head and upper body, the rest being inserted into the volume V1 of the base 4 and partially returned. The fourth object thus defined is a basket or pram 10 accommodating part of the figurine 1. It is therefore a toy used by a child. In this configuration, by connecting the strips 8 together, a gripping member similar to that illustrated in FIG. figure 4 .

Lorsque, comme illustré à la figure 6, on poursuit le mouvement de retournement vers l'extérieur de la face interne 7 de la base 4 on insère complètement la figurine 2 et les lanières 8 dans le volume V1, lorsque celles-ci sont fixées sur la face externe 7 défini par la base 4 retournée. On obtient, après avoir fermé l'organe de fermeture 6, une cinquième configuration formant un cinquième objet 12. Les dimensions et la forme de la base 4 ainsi complètement retournées sont telles que le volume V1 est totalement occupé par la figurine 2 et les lanières 8. Ainsi on obtient un cinquième objet 12 suffisamment dense et rigide pour former un article de sport tel qu'un ballon. En l'espèce, le ballon 12 représenté à la figure 6 est ovale, tel qu'un ballon de rugby ou de football américain. En variante non illustrée, il peut être sphérique, tel un ballon de basket, de volley, de handball ou de football ou une balle de baseball.When, as illustrated in figure 6 , the movement of turning towards the outside of the inner face 7 of the base 4 is continued, the figure 2 and the strips 8 are completely inserted into the volume V1, when these are fixed on the external face 7 defined by the base 4 returned. After having closed the closing member 6, a fifth configuration forming a fifth object 12 is obtained. The dimensions and the shape of the base 4 thus completely turned over are such that the volume V1 is totally occupied by the figurine 2 and the straps. 8. Thus we obtain a fifth object 12 sufficiently dense and rigid to form a sports article such as a balloon. In this case, the balloon 12 shown in figure 6 is oval, such as a rugby ball or football. Alternatively not illustrated, it can be spherical, such as a basketball, volleyball, handball or football or a baseball.

Dans le cas de la réalisation d'un ballon sphérique, par exemple un ballon de football, l'ensemble de la figurine 2 est réalisé à partir de panneaux identiques, en forme de pentagone, dans lequel on a glissé une quantité plus ou moins importante de matériau de renfort afin que l'on obtienne les différents objets tels qu'illustrés.In the case of the realization of a spherical ball, for example a football, the whole of the figurine 2 is made from identical panels, pentagon-shaped, in which we slipped a greater or lesser amount of reinforcing material so that one obtains the different objects as illustrated.

Avantageusement, dans un mode de réalisation non décrit, la figurine comprend un organe d'émission, soit d'un message vocal soit de musique, par exemple une petite boîte insérée dans la figurine.Advantageously, in an embodiment not described, the figurine comprises a transmitting member, either a voice message or music, for example a small box inserted in the figurine.

La figurine peut être également pourvue d'un organe d'éclairage, par exemple une LED fixée sur la figurine. Cet organe d'éclairage peut être associé à l'organe d'émission d'un message vocal ou de musique.The figurine may also be provided with a lighting member, for example an LED fixed on the figurine. This lighting member may be associated with the transmitting member of a voice message or music.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation non illustré, la figurine comprend une tête, par exemple en silicone, représentant une personne ou un personnage connu.In another embodiment not illustrated, the figurine comprises a head, for example silicone, representing a person or a known character.
