Definitions

  • the present invention relates to protective equipment of the bumper protection vest type, comprising at least one dorsal part, intended to cover at least part of the back of a user, and at least one front part, intended to cover at least a portion of the torso of the user, the back portion comprising at least one rear side flap and the front portion comprising at least one front side flap, said flaps being fixed to one another in an adjustable manner and defining between them part of a user's arm pass.
  • Such equipment is intended for law enforcement or security officers, for example.
  • Such equipment must be able to protect the user against violent shocks, possibly carried by heavy objects, for example during demonstrations or clashes.
  • the equipment is worn around the upper body, usually accompanied by a helmet to protect the user's head.
  • the vests of this type known are generally made in several parts permanently attached to each other and slip through the head as a chasuble or as a jacket.
  • This type of equipment must be worn closer to the body to allow great freedom of movement to the user and not to interfere in its maneuvers.
  • this type of equipment is usually pooled in a barracks so that it can be worn by different people of different build.
  • it is intended to allow adjustment of the tightening of the equipment to adjust to the build of the person who wears it and possibly to facilitate its introduction and withdrawal by loosening the equipment.
  • each side portion is formed by two flaps, one of which is integral with the dorsal portion and the other is integral with the front portion, and provided with self-gripping means for securing a fastener. removable from one flap to the other in different positions.
  • Adjustment of the clamping is also problematic since it is not possible to simultaneously adjust the position of the flaps on both sides of the equipment. Thus, the adjustment must be made on one side of the equipment and then on the other side, which makes adjustment tedious and may result in a different clamping between the two sides of the equipment.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages by providing protective equipment to ensure effective clamping, robust and easily adjustable.
  • the invention relates to protective equipment of the aforementioned type, in which one of the lateral flaps comprises at least one attachment point, to which one strap is fastened, the other flap comprising at least one passer, in which said strap is engaged, said passer forming a return element of the strap towards the attachment point so that the strap is arranged to ensure the fixing and tightening of the flaps together by traction on a free end portion of the strap engaged in the loop .
  • the tightening can be done easily in a single pulling operation on the free end of the strap.
  • the strap provides a robust fastening of the flaps, able to withstand a pulling attempt by a third party.
  • the strap can be handled regularly without wear, extending the life of the protective equipment.
  • the term “external” is defined by what is turned outwardly of the protective equipment, that is to say opposite 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 term “front” refers to what is turned to the torso of the user of the equipment and the term “back” which is turned to the back of it when the equipment is worn.
  • a protective equipment of the type bumpers 1 for the security forces or for security agents or other.
  • the protective equipment will simply be called “vest" 1.
  • the vest 1 is intended to cover at least the torso and the back and / or the abdomen of the user, as shown on the Fig. 1 and 2 .
  • the vest 1 essentially comprises a front part 2 and 4, formed of two front panels 2 and 4, or front parts 2 and 4, a dorsal part 6 ( Fig. 2 ), the front portions 2 and 4 being connected to the dorsal portion 6 each by a strap 8 intended to cover a shoulder of the user.
  • the vest 1 comprises only a front portion covering the abdomen and / or the torso of the user and connected to the back portion by two shoulder straps extending on either side of the parts dorsal and frontal so as to define a passage for the user's head between the shoulder straps.
  • the vest 1 comprising two front portions 2 and 4.
  • the front portions 2 and 4 are connected to the dorsal portion 6 by lateral flaps, defining with the straps 8 openings 10 for the passage of the arms of the user.
  • the dorsal portion 6 comprises two rear lateral flaps 12 extending on either side of the dorsal portion 6 and being spaced from the shoulder straps 8. The rear lateral flaps 12 thus extend towards the front portions 2 and 4 the user's ribs so as to cover a portion of the sidewalls thereof, as shown in FIG. Fig. 2 .
  • Each front portion 2, 4 comprises a front side panel 14 spaced apart from a strap 8 and extending towards the dorsal portion.
  • Each front side flap 14 thus also extends at one of the sidewalls of the user, so that each side flap before 14 can be superimposed on or below at least a portion of a rear side flap 12, as is more particularly visible on the Fig. 2 .

  • the plate may be substantially flat or be shaped to fit the shape of the part of the body that it covers, in order to be ergonomic and thus improving the comfort of the panel while facilitating the freedom of movement of the user.
  • Such a plate 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 are for example coated with a fabric adapted 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 or of some of them may possibly be doubled by one or more textile materials adapted for the absorption and / or evacuation of the sweat of the user, as represented by the reference 16 of the Fig. 3 and 4 and the ventilation of the vest 1 in order to improve its comfort, for example a so-called "breathable" textile material.
  • the vest 1 further comprises panels for protecting a portion of the arms 18 fixed, for example removably, to the shoulder straps 8 covering the shoulders.
