Definitions

  • the invention relates to a personal protective equipment for protecting a user.
  • Passive personal protective equipments such as that of document FR 2 594 653, have been used to provide a protection of the user.
  • Such passive personal protective equipments provide the same protection whichever the situation is, including situations where no protection is required.
  • Such active personal protective equipments generally comprise:
  • the garment adapted to cover at least the user's bust, the garment comprising an inner surface intended to be directed towards the user, and an outer surface intended to be directed opposite to the user,
  • an airbag system comprising an inflatable chamber conformed to protect at least a part of the user's bust, and an actuation device, the inflatable chamber presenting an inactive state in which said inflatable chamber is deflated, and an active state in which said inflatable chamber is inflated, the actuation device being adapted to pass the inflatable chamber from the inactive state to the active state upon occurrence of a risk involving situation.
  • Such active personal protective equipment is used to provide a direct protection of the user against severe injuries in occurrence of an accident, a fall or any risk involving situation imparting a high acceleration to the body of the user.
  • the active personal protective equipment finds many applications not only in known risk involving activities but also more generally in many sport activities, work activities and even daily activities.
  • the active personal protective equipment finds particular applications in sliding activities such as skiing or kite-surfing, in free flight activities, such as ultra-light aircraft flight, delta wing flight or paragliding, in mechanical sports, such as motorcycling or snowmobile riding, in horse riding, in professional activities, such as workers on scaffoldings.
  • the invention aims at providing a personal protective equipment of the aforementioned active type, further improved especially in terms of manufacturing simplicity.
  • the invention provides a personal protective equipment of the aforementioned active type further comprising a lining adapted to cover at least a part of the inner surface of the garment (namely, the inner most surface of the garment), the lining including internally the inflatable chamber, the actuation device being secured to the lining, the personal protective equipment comprising an attaching system adapted to removably attach the lining to the garment, the garment and the lining being adapted to enable the inflatable chamber to pass from the inactive state to the active state.
  • the airbag system is integrated to a detachable lining, separate from the garment and that can be removably attached to the garment.
  • a detachable lining separate from the garment and that can be removably attached to the garment.
  • the lining can thus be optimised as regards its integrated protective function and standardized to be mounted in a simple while reliable manner on different kinds of garments.
  • the manufacturing of the personal protective equipment is further eased since the inflatable chamber can be directly conformed to a suitable final shape.
  • These provisions also provide modularity to the personal protective equipment by enabling a combination of different linings with different garments. Such modularity is especially useful to enable the replacement of the garment without the need of replacing the lining with the integrated inflatable chamber.
  • the attaching system ensures proper positioning of the inflatable chamber and accurate control of the actuation of the airbag system, including upon inflation of the inflatable chamber.
  • the lining may have a border and the attaching system may comprise first and second attaching members adapted to be removably attached to each other, the first and second attaching members being secured respectively to the lining and the garment, at least a part of the first attaching member of the attaching system extending along at least a part of the border of the lining.
  • the garment may have a border, the border of the lining being arranged at vicinity of the border of the garment when the lining is attached to the garment, at least a part of the second attaching member of the attaching system extending along at least a part of the border of the garment.

  • the garment may have a collar intended to be arranged around the user's neck, the collar having a base towards the rest of the garment, and a free edge opposite to the base, the collar comprising inner and outer folds overlapping each other, the inner fold being intended to be directed towards the user, the attaching system extending along at least a part of the inner fold, the inner and outer folds being connected to each other only by a fold line along the free edge of the collar, no connection between the inner and outer folds being provided close to the base of the collar, so as to enable the collar to be deployed when the inflatable chamber is in the active state.
  • At least one of the garment and the lining may have at least one elastically deformable portion arranged in correspondence with a portion of the inflatable chamber.
  • the elastically deformable portion may be made of an elastically deformable fabric.
  • the elastically deformable fabric may comprise threads made of elastically deformable material.
