Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protection element of at least a part of the body of a user, of the type comprising a first part intended to cover at least part of a user's joint, and a second part intended to cover at least a part of the user's a part of a member of the user articulated to said articulation.
  • Such protective equipment forms for example a shoulder-arm protection intended for law enforcement or security officers.
  • Such equipment must be able to protect the user against violent shocks, possibly carried by heavy objects blunt or not.
  • each part is generally formed of a rigid shell lined with an elastically deformable mattress pressed against the rigid shell and forming a padding.
  • the mattress is formed by a foam-wrapped fabric arranged to crash in case of shock to absorb energy and thus protect the user's member against which the mattress is applied.
  • the rigid shell receives the shock, absorbs some of its energy and protects the user by preventing the source of shock to reach directly the member carrying the equipment, while the mattress is arranged to crash between the hull and the limb to absorb another part of the energy.
  • the first and second parts generally comprise a shell specific to each part, and a common mattress to both parts.
  • the fact of having separate shells between the first and second parts makes it possible to give a certain flexibility to the protective equipment, and a certain freedom of movement to the articulation.
  • US2005246812 discloses a protection element with several parts.
  • An object of the invention is to improve the accompaniment of the movements of the user by the protective equipment.
  • the invention characterized by the claims, relates to a protective equipment of the aforementioned type, wherein the first and second parts are hinged to each other by a connection joint having a degree of freedom in translation along a main direction joining a center of the first portion to a center of the second portion.
  • the term "outer” is defined by what is turned outwardly of the protective vest, that is to say the opposite of the part of the body carrying the equipment, and the term “ internal “by what is turned inward of the equipment, that is to say towards the part of the body carrying the equipment.
  • the protective vest 10 shown on the Figure 1 is of the type bumpers for law enforcement or for security officers or other. It comprises a main portion 12, intended to cover a trunk of the user, and two side portions 14, each intended to cover a shoulder and at least a portion of the user's arm.
  • the main part 12 comprises a front part 20, intended to cover a front face of the trunk of the user, and a dorsal part 22 ( Figure 2 ), intended to cover the back of the user, the front 20 and dorsal 22 parts being connected to each other by shoulder straps 24.
  • the front portions 20, dorsal 22 and the straps 24 are for example linked together by stitching.
  • Each of the front and back portions 22 comprises one or more protective panels, each panel being provided with at least one mattress (not shown) of elastically compressible material, for example a foam or an elastomeric material, for example obtained by injection, molding or cutting.
  • a plate 25 of rigid material is disposed in front of the mattress, towards the outside of the vest 10.
  • the plate 25 can be substantially flat or be shaped to fit the shape of the part of the body it covers, to be ergonomic and thus improve the comfort of the panel while facilitating the freedom of movement of the user.
  • Such a plate 25 allows a good distribution of energy when an impact is applied to it, as well as the absorption of a portion of this energy, the absorption then being made by the mattress.
  • the mattress and the plate 25 are, for example, coated with a fabric suitable for the field of protective equipment. The production of such panels is known per se and will not be described in more detail here.
  • Each protective panel because of its structure, is able to absorb at least a portion of the energy due to impact, including shocks due to blows carried by a third with bare hands or with an object or projectiles launched by a third party, in order to protect the user wearing the equipment, while allowing him to move freely.
  • each panel is optionally doubled by one or more textile materials adapted for the absorption and / or evacuation of the sweat of the user, as well as for the ventilation of the vest 10, to enhance the comfort of the user.
  • a textile material is for example a so-called "breathable" textile material.
  • the front portion 20 further comprises two first lateral flaps 26 at the user's ribs, and the dorsal portion 22 comprises two second lateral flaps 28 at the user's ribs. Said flaps 26, 28 are provided with means for adjusting the tightening of the main part 12 on the trunk of the user.
  • These adjustment means comprise primary attachment means (not shown), provided on an outer face of each first flap 26, and secondary attachment means (not shown), provided on an inner face of each second flap 28, and adapted to cooperate with the primary attachment means for the reversible attachment of each second flap 28 to a first flap 26.
  • These primary and secondary gripping means are for example self-gripping tape type.
  • the straps 24 are two in number, each being provided to cover a shoulder of the user. They delimit between them an upper passage 30 for a neck of the user.
  • the vest 10 comprises an opening formed on each side of the vest 10 and defined vertically by a shoulder strap 24 on the one hand and a lateral flap 26, 28 on the other hand, and defined horizontally by the front portion 20 on the one hand and the dorsal part 22 on the other hand, as shown on the Figure 2 , for the passage of an arm of the user.
  • each side portion 14 extends above one of the side passages 32.
  • Each side portion 14 includes a first portion 34, intended to cover one shoulder of the user, and a second portion 36, intended to cover a portion of the arm of the user who is articulated to said shoulder.
  • Each of the first and second parts 34, 36 essentially comprises, from the outside towards the inside, a shell 38, defining an external face 40 of said portion 34, 36, and a mattress 42, defining an internal face 44 ( Figure 4 ) of said portion 34, 36.
  • the shell 38 is made of a rigid material, such as polycarbonate for example. It is made in one piece.
  • the shell 38 has the general shape of the portion of the member to be protected.
  • the outer face of each shell 38 is shaped in a known manner for shock absorption during clashes.
  • the conformation is adapted to the part of the body intended to be protected and comprises, for example, protuberances extending on either side of the recesses intended to improve the behavior of the shells 38 in the event of an impact. Since the external form of the protective equipment is not the subject of the invention, it will not be described further here.
  • the shell 38 defines a cavity (not shown) facing inward and adapted to receive a member intended to carry the equipment.
  • the mattress 42 is disposed in said cavity.
  • the mattress 42 covers substantially all of an inner face (not shown) of the shell 38, and thus forms a "lining" of the shell 38.
  • the mattress 42 is adapted to absorb shocks.
  • the mattress 42 is for example made of an elastically compressible material, of the elastomer type.
  • the mattress 42 is made of foam surrounded by fabric.
  • Each of the first and second parts 34, 36 has a proximal end 46, close to the other part, respectively 36, 34, and a distal end 48, remote from the other part, respectively 36, 34.
  • the first part 34 in particular its distal end 48, partly covers a strap 24 of the main part 12.
  • the first portion 34 also covers a portion of the outer face 40 of the second portion 36.
  • the proximal end 46 of the first portion 34 covers the proximal end 46 of the second portion 36.
  • the second portion 36 is provided with a member 49 for clamping the arm of the user.
  • This clamping member 49 is preferably, as shown, closer the distal end 48 as the proximal end 46.
  • the clamping member 49 is, in the example shown, a strap.
  • Each lateral portion 14 is detachably fastened to a shoulder strap 24 of the main portion 12.
  • the protective vest 10 comprises, for each lateral portion 14, a reversible fastening system of said lateral portion 14 to its respective strap 24.
  • this reversible system comprises an appendage 50, integral with the first portion 34 of the lateral portion 14, and a fastening strap 52, integral at each of its ends with the respective shoulder strap 24, in particular with an external face of the shoulder strap 24.
  • Appendix 50 is typically made of fabric. It is attached, for example stitched and / or riveted, to the distal end 48 of the first portion 34. It has a proximal end 54 of connection to the first portion 34, and a distal end 56 free. It comprises an intermediate portion 58 between its proximal ends 54 and distal 56.
  • Appendix 50 has a first large face 60 extending the outer face 40 of the first portion 34, and a second large face 62 ( Figure 6 ), opposite the first large face 60 and extending the inner face 44 of the first portion 34.
  • the distal end 56 carries a first attachment member 62. More particularly, the first attachment member 64 is carried by the second major face 62 of the appendix 50.
  • the fastening strap 52 is oriented substantially parallel to the shoulder strap 24. It defines with the shoulder strap 24 a passage 66 for the appendix 50.
  • the fixing strap 52 has a free face 68 opposite to the passage 64.
  • This free face 68 carries a second fastener 70 adapted to cooperate with the first fastener 64 for the reversible joining of the first and second fasteners 64, 70 to each other.
  • the first and second fasteners 64, 70 are preferably adapted to be detached from each other by exerting a force of separation on these two members 64, 70, said separating force being oriented substantially perpendicular to a contact interface of said members 64, 70.
  • the first and second fasteners 64, 70 are for example of the self-gripping tape type, which allows a quick attachment and does not require a high accuracy in the placement of fasteners relative to one another. Alternatively, they are of the type snap.
  • the intermediate portion 58 of the appendix 50 is engaged in the passage 66, and the distal end 56 is folded over the fastening strap 52 so as to cover its free face 68, the second large face 62 of the appendix 50 being oriented towards said free face 68.
  • the distal end 56 is folded toward the proximal end 54, and the first and second fasteners 64, 70 cooperate with each other.
  • first portion 34 of the lateral portion 14 is also folded so as to cover the fastening strap 52, the inner face of said first portion 34 being oriented towards the attachment strap 52.
  • the attachment strap 52 is thus found again. interposed between the shoulder strap 24 and the first portion 34.
  • intermediate portion 58 and the distal end 56 of the appendix 50 are each folded towards the first portion 34.
  • Each lateral portion 14 is thus firmly attached to the main portion 12. Indeed, in case of attempted tearing of one of the side portions 14 by a third person, the main pulling efforts are taken care of by the strap 52. Only a residual portion of the pulling forces is taken up by the fasteners 64, 70, and this residual part is oriented parallel to the contact interface of the first and second fasteners 64, 70, which is not suitable for detaching the fasteners 64, 70 from each other. Accordingly, to separate the side portion 14 of the main portion 12 while the vest 10 is worn by the user, the third person should tear the strap 52 of the main portion 12, which requires a much greater effort than that normally necessary to separate the fasteners 64, 70.
  • Each side portion 14 can, however, be easily detached from the main part 12 when its user no longer wears the vest 10. It is sufficient to raise the first portion 34 to release access to the distal end 56 of the appendix 50 , then to seize this distal end 56 by exerting a force directed away from the shoulder strap 24 to separate the first and second fasteners 64, 70. It then remains only to release the appendix 50 of the passage 66 by sliding the distal end 56 to finish separating the lateral portion 14 of the main portion 12.
  • each side portion 14 It is also easy and particularly fast to attach each side portion 14 to the main portion 12, performing the preceding operations in reverse order. This makes it possible to choose whether or not to put the lateral parts on the vest, according to the type of situation that the user is confronted with. In addition, the user can easily and quickly add the side parts "on the ground", if the situation requires it.
  • This removable attachment also makes it possible to adapt the lateral part 14 to the situation encountered, by choosing more or less rigid shells depending on this situation, for example, or by providing a longer or shorter lateral part 14.
  • Each lateral portion 14 also includes, with reference to the Figure 5 , an articular connection 80 for the articulation of the first and second parts 34, 36 to one another.
  • This articular connection 80 has three degrees of freedom in rotation; in other words, it is adapted to allow rotation of the second portion 36 relative to the first portion 34 about each axis of the space.
  • the articular connection 80 thus has a degree of freedom in rotation around an axis (not shown) substantially perpendicular to the outer face 40 of the second portion 36.
