- the knee protection equipment 1 comprises:
- a shoulder belt 3 intended to be disposed at the level of the user's pelvis.
- the support means 2,2 ' are located at the knee level of said shoulder belt 3 and said ground support means 2,2' are interconnected by the intermediate of a rigid arm 4; 4 'intended to be positioned laterally and externally to the thigh.
- the equipment 1 makes it possible to move from a standing position P1 in which the user is standing and in which the ground support means 2, 2 'are positioned at the knee (in front of the knee and / or laterally knee), to a kneeling position P2 in which the user is kneeling and in which the support means 2,2 'bear on the ground and are able to transmit at least a portion of the effort of vertical load of the shoulder belt 3, so as to relieve the knee of the user.
- the bearing means 50, 50 ' are located at the level of the tibia, the shoulder belt 3 and the said ground support means 50, 50' being connected to each other by means of a rigid branch 4,4 '. intended to be disposed laterally and externally to the thigh, said first rigid leg, the support means 50,50 'being articulated to said rigid branch 4,4'.
- the support means 50, 50 ' comprise a second rigid branch 5,5', intended to be positioned externally and laterally to the calf and a hinge.
- the second rigid branch 5,5 ' is articulated to said first rigid branch 4 by means of a hinge 6, disposed externally and laterally at the knee.
- the equipment 1 can move from a standing position P1 in which the ground support means 50,50 'are at the level of the tibia, to a kneeling position P3, said seat, in which the one or more joints 6 are in abutment and the ground support means 50,50 'are supported on the ground and are able to transmit the load to the shoulder 3
- the ground support means may be situated at the level of the knee rigidly fixed to the first rigid branch 4,4 'and at the level of the tibia, comprising the second rigid branch 5 , 5 '.
- the equipment 1 can pass from a standing position P1 (ie FIG.
- the branches 4,4 ' are movable relative to the harness 3 to follow the thighs of the user when walking.
- said rigid branch 4,4 ' can be connected to said harness at its proximal end by means of a flexible connection or an articulated connection.
- the flexible connection comprises straps in connection with the shoulder belt 3 and a rigid branch attachment means 4.
- Such a flexible connection allows a greater degree of freedom when the user has to move with the protective equipment.
- the support means 2 or 2 'associated with a knee are supported on the ground and allow to transmit all or part of the load of the harness to ground, without transmitting it to the knee.
- the weight of the user is thus taken up by the shoulder belt and transmitted to the ground, without transmitting this effort to the knee.
- the knee protection equipment 1 protects both knees of the user and comprises for this purpose two support means 2,2 '; 50,50 'on the ground, each of the two support means 2,2'; 50,50 'on the ground being positioned at one of the two knees and / or both shins, so that each knee of the user is relieved.
- Both support means 2,2 '; 50,50 'on the ground are respectively connected to the shoulder 3 by means of two rigid branches 4,4'.
- the support means 2,2 'on the ground at the knee or knees may each comprise at least one leg rigidly fixed to the distal end of the rigid leg 4.
- Said rigid leg 4 may be connected to the shoulder belt 3 to its proximal end by means of a removable attachment.
- the base 9 is semicylindrical in such a way that the base 9 is consistent with the morphology of the knee and bypasses the front. Such a shape makes it possible not to hinder the user when the latter goes from standing to kneeling.
- the base 9 can be fixed removably or not on the rigid branch 4.
- said rigid branch 4; 4 ' is said first branch.
- Said first rigid branch is extended by said second rigid branch 5,5 ', said second rigid branch 5,5' being articulated to said first rigid branch 4,4 'by means of a hinge 6, arranged externally and laterally at the level of knee.
- the ground support means 50, 50 ' may comprise said second rigid branch 5, 5'.
- Said hinge 6 comprises stops optionally defining a maximum bending position, illustrated in a nonlimiting manner in FIGS. 5 and 6, and a kneeling position, said seat, in which said second ground support means 50, 50 'at the level of the shins are supported on the ground and are able to transmit the vertical load force of said harness 3.
- the ground support means at the tibia 50, 50 ' may comprise for the or each tibia, an integral element covering the tibia along its length.
- the element may take the form of a tibia protector and be secured rigidly laterally, externally to said corresponding second branch 5 or 5 '.
- a third rigid reinforcement branch 7 may be rigidly secured to the element laterally on the inside.
- the first rigid branches 4 extend along the thigh on the external side, the joints 6 are at the level of the knees and the second rigid branches 5, 5 'and possibly the third rigid branches 7 extend. respectively along the outer and inner side of the tibia, the elements 50,50 'being at the level of the shins.
- the associated support means 2, 2 ' the first rigid branches 4,4 ' located at the knees, rest on the ground.
- These support means 2, 2 ' may comprise, for each knee, a base disposed laterally to the hinge 6 and projecting below the latter, according to the non-limiting example of FIGS. 5 to 7.
- the hinge 6 In kneeling position as illustrated in Figure 8, the hinge 6 is blocked after a bending of a certain angle between the first leg 4 and the second leg 5, substantially less than 90 ° such that 45 ° for example including between 50 ° and 30 °, to allow the user to remain in a sitting position by resting on the shoulder belt 3.
- the weight of the user In this seated position, the weight of the user is taken up by the shoulder belt 3 and transmitted to the ground by via the first branches 4,4 ', hinges 6 in abutment, second branches 5,5' and bearing means 50,50 'positioned at the tibia.
- the stroke of the hinge 6 between the sitting position and the maximum bending position also allows the user to walk.
- the support means 50, 50 ' are located at the level of the shins and comprise for each leg, an element covering the shin.
- Each of the support means is articulated to said rigid branch 4 or 4 'by joints 61, 62 distributed on either side, at the knee.
- each rigid branch 4, 4 ' may comprise adjustment means 40 in length so as to adapt the size of the equipment 1 to the morphology of the user.
- each rigid branch 4, 4 ' may comprise two parts 40,41, which can be positioned in different adjustment positions relative to each other by means of several orifices 1 1 of adjustment and organ fasteners such as pins 10 cooperating with the orifices 1 1.
- the support means 2,2 'and / or 50,50' on the ground can be removable and the rigid branches 4,4 'and / or 5,5', can be separated from the harness 3 by means of removable fastening .
- the proximal end of the rigid branch 4 can be nested in a C-rail 42 and locked in the latter by means of a locking screw 43, as illustrated in FIG. 10.
- the proximal end of the rigid branches 4 , 4 ' can still, for example, be clipped to the harness 3.
- the invention also relates to an assembly comprising a device 1 according to the invention and trousers 8, in which the harness 3 is secured to the pants 8, for example by sewing, at the pelvis and buttocks, the rigid branches 4 being secured to the shoulder belt 3 near the hips.
- the belt 32 of the harness 3 can be arranged at the pelvis and the two legwarmers 30,31 of the harness 3 can be sewn on the pants and arranged at the lower part of the gluteal.
- the waders 30,31 are each connected to the belt by means of a strap passing at the level of the crotch, the length of these straps being adjustable, the connection points between the belt strap and the straps of the waders forming the flexible connection and an anchorage point, lateral, for the rigid branches 4.
- the knee protection equipment 1 can be integrated inside the pants, in particular for aesthetic reasons, in particular at least the support means 2, 2 'and the branches 4,4 '; 5.5 'of equipment
