Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention concerne un harnais composé de sangles textiles, et ayant au moins un point de connexion et de retenue conformé selon une boucle fermée en matériau textile délimitant une ouverture pour le passage d'un mousqueton ou autre connecteur. Un tel harnais est utilisé pour la sécurité des personnes dans les travaux en hauteur.The invention relates to a harness consisting of textile straps, and having at least one connection and retaining point shaped according to a closed loop of textile material defining an opening for the passage of a carabiner or other connector. Such a harness is used for the safety of people in the work at height.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

La plupart des harnais pour les travaux en hauteur, comporte en plus du pontet central d'encordement, des points de connexion latéraux de maintien et de retenue lors de l'utilisation de ces points latéraux dans une position de travail de l'utilisateur.Most of the harnesses for working at height, has in addition to the central tie-in bridge, side connection points for holding and retaining when using these side points in a working position of the user.

Ces points de connexion sont réalisés d'une manière connue :

  • soit par des boucles de sangle agencées sur la sangle de ceinture. Ces boucles sont légères, non proéminentes et permettent une bonne orientation des connecteurs de la longe de maintien au travail. Par contre, ces boucles de sangles ont l'inconvénient d'être moins ergonomiques à connecter, à cause de leur souplesse, et présentant une ouverture déformable et réduite qui complique la mise en place des connecteurs. Un usage fréquent risque en plus de provoquer une usure prématurée de la sangle de ceinture.
  • soit par des dés métalliques montés chacun dans une boucle cousue sur la sangle de ceinture. L'avantage de ces dés métalliques à structure rigide est d'être facile à connecter, car l'ouverture est grande et non déformable. Mais l'inconvénient d'un tel dé est d'être proéminent et susceptible de s'accrocher aux éléments extérieurs, d'être plus lourd, et d'orienter les connecteurs de la longe de maintien selon une direction perpendiculaire à la ceinture. Une telle orientation des connecteurs n'est pas idéale lors des maintiens au travail décalés. De plus, la venue en engagement des dés métalliques sur les hanches de l'utilisateur, peut occasionner un point de compression gênant, au détriment du confort pour l'utilisateur.
These connection points are made in a known manner:
  • either by strap loops arranged on the belt strap. These loops are light, not prominent and allow a good orientation of the connectors of the lanyard for maintenance at work. On the other hand, these loops of straps have the disadvantage of being less ergonomic to connect, because of their flexibility, and having a deformable and reduced opening which complicates the installation of the connectors. Frequent use may also cause premature wear of the belt strap.
  • either by metal dice each mounted in a loop sewn on the belt strap. The advantage of these metal dies rigid structure is to be easy to connect because the opening is large and not deformable. But the disadvantage of such a die is to be prominent and likely to cling to the outer elements, to be heavier, and to guide the connectors of the lanyard in a direction perpendicular to the belt. Such an orientation of the connectors is not ideal during staggered work restraints. In addition, the coming into engagement of the metal dice on the hips of the user, may cause an annoying compression point, to the detriment of comfort for the user.

Le document CH695542 concerne un cuissard d'escalade ayant une ceinture reliée à une paire de tours de cuisse, et un pontet d'encordement central, reliant les deux tours de cuisse, et ayant une forme en arc. Le pontet est protégé par une pièce anti-usure en matériau thermoplastique, ou composite à base de fibres. Le document EP 1 849 502 A1 concerne un harnais avec une pièce de liaison, qui est rigidifiée et protégée par un insert semi-rigide.The document CH695542 relates to a climbing shorts having a belt connected to a pair of leg loops, and a central tie-bar connecting the two leg loops, and having an arch form. The trigger guard is protected by an anti-wear part made of thermoplastic material, or fiber composite. The document EP 1 849 502 A1 relates to a harness with a connecting piece, which is stiffened and protected by a semi-rigid insert.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

L'objet de l'invention consiste à remédier aux inconvénients précités, et à réaliser un harnais de sécurité pour travaux en hauteur, ayant des points de connexion fonctionnels et ergonomiques qui soient faciles à connecter, tout en améliorant le confort de maintien au travail.The object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, and to make a safety harness for work at height, having functional and ergonomic connection points that are easy to connect, while improving the comfort of maintaining work.

Le harnais selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que l'ouverture de la boucle textile est rigidifiée par un insert rigide ou semi-rigide, lequel est configuré pour faciliter la mise en place du connecteur, ledit insert comprenant une surface de base solidarisée à la structure porteuse du harnais pour transmettre et répartir les efforts lorsque l'utilisateur est en position de maintien au travail.The harness according to the invention is characterized in that the opening of the textile loop is stiffened by a rigid or semi-rigid insert, which is configured to facilitate the installation of the connector, said insert comprising a base surface secured to the carrying structure of the harness for transmitting and distributing the forces when the user is in a work-holding position.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, l'insert comprend une coque en matière plastique ayant un orifice interne adaptable à l'ouverture de la boucle textile, et des moyens de guidage pour le cheminement de la boucle textile lors de son enroulement dans la coque.According to a preferred embodiment, the insert comprises a plastic shell having an internal orifice adaptable to the opening of the textile loop, and guide means for the path of the textile loop during its winding in the shell.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la surface de base de l'ensemble coque et boucle est cousue sur la structure porteuse du harnais.According to one characteristic of the invention, the base surface of the hull and loop assembly is sewn onto the carrying structure of the harness.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la boucle du point de connexion est agencée sur la partie latérale et/ou arrière de la sangle de ceinture,
De préférence, la boucle est fabriquée en continuité avec une partie intermédiaire de la sangle de ceinture. Le cheminement de la sangle dans la coque de l'insert contribue à ce que la connexion s'effectue à l'intérieur de la sangle de ceinture.
L'insert présente une forme en Oméga, avec une surface de base surmontée d'un arceau pour former ledit orifice interne de maintien, ladite base étant cousue sur le bandeau de rembourrage par des coutures.
La sangle de ceinture comporte avantageusement au moins deux points de connexion latéraux situés de part et d'autre du point d'encordement central, l'ensemble étant configuré pour répartir la tension de maintien sur toute la hauteur du harnais.According to another characteristic of the invention, the loop of the connection point is arranged on the lateral and / or rear part of the belt strap,
Preferably, the loop is made in continuity with an intermediate portion of the belt strap. The path of the strap in the shell of the insert contributes to the connection being made inside the belt strap.
The insert has an Omega shape, with a base surface surmounted by a bow to form said internal holding hole, said base being sewn on the padding strip by seams.
The belt strap advantageously comprises at least two lateral connection points located on either side of the central point of attachment, the assembly being configured to distribute the holding tension over the entire height of the harness.

Selon une variante de réalisation, la boucle du point de connexion peut être fabriquée avec une sangle auxiliaire distincte de la sangle principale de ceinture.According to an alternative embodiment, the loop of the connection point can be manufactured with an auxiliary strap separate from the main belt strap.

La coque de l'insert comprend une surface de base configurée pour constituer un point d'accrochage latéral, ou ventral ou sternal.The shell of the insert includes a base surface configured to provide a lateral attachment point, or ventral or sternal.

Cette fonction de rigidification des boucles de connexion par la coque de l'insert peut être mise en oeuvre dans tout type de harnais de sécurité pour les travaux en hauteur.This stiffening function of the connection loops by the shell of the insert can be implemented in any type of safety harness for work at height.

L'invention s'applique ainsi à un harnais cuissard avec ou sans harnais torse, et également à une simple ceinture de maintien au travail sans cuissard et sans torse.The invention thus applies to a sit harness with or without torso harness, and also to a simple seat belt at work without shorts and without torso.

Description d'un mode particulier de réalisationDescription of a particular embodiment

En référence aux figures, un harnais 10 de sécurité pour travaux en hauteur, est réalisé par l'entrecroisement de sangles textiles, comprenant une ceinture 11 entourant la taille de l'utilisateur, et une paire de tours de cuisse 12. La ceinture 11 comporte un bandeau de rembourrage 13 souple, par exemple en mousse, sur lequel est cousue une sangle de ceinture 14 de résistance mécanique élevée pour assurer la tenue mécanique de la ceinture 11. La sangle de ceinture 14 est plus étroite que le bandeau 13 et est dotée à l'avant d'une boucle de fixation 15 ouvrable destinée à ouvrir et fermer l'avant de la ceinture 11. La sangle de ceinture 14 est reliée aux tours de cuisse 12 par un anneau de liaison, pouvant être associé à un pontet constituant un point d'encordement central.Referring to the figures, a safety harness 10 for work at height, is achieved by the interweaving of textile straps, comprising a belt 11 surrounding the size of the user, and a pair of thighs 12. The belt 11 comprises a padding strip 13 flexible, for example foam, which is sewn on a belt strap 14 of high mechanical strength to ensure the mechanical strength of the belt 11. The belt strap 14 is narrower than the strip 13 and is endowed at the front of a fastening buckle 15 openable to open and close the front of the belt 11. The belt strap 14 is connected to the leg loops 12 by a connecting ring, which can be associated with a bridge constituting a central stitching point.

La sangle de ceinture 14 comporte en plus au moins un point de connexion et de retenue 16 additionnel, lequel est décalé latéralement par rapport au point d'encordement central et à la boucle de fixation 15. Ce point de connexion et de retenue 16 additionnel est conformé selon une boucle fermée 17 en matériau textile délimitant une ouverture 18 pour le passage d'un connecteur 19, par exemple un mousqueton d'une longe 20 ou corde de sécurité. Le point de connexion et de retenue 16 additionnel permet de supporter l'utilisateur lorsque cela est nécessaire. Le point de connexion et de retenue 16 est formé par une sangle afin d'assurer une bonne tenue mécanique de manière compacte et sans surpoids excessif.The belt strap 14 further comprises at least one additional connection and retention point 16, which is offset laterally with respect to the central point of attachment and to the attachment loop 15. This additional connection and retention point 16 is shaped according to a closed loop 17 of textile material defining an opening 18 for the passage of a connector 19, for example a carabiner of a lanyard 20 or safety rope. The additional connection and retention point 16 makes it possible to support the user when necessary. The connection and retaining point 16 is formed by a strap to ensure good mechanical strength in a compact manner and without excessive overweight.

Selon l'invention, l'ouverture 18 de la boucle 17 textile est rigidifiée par un insert 21 (figures 4 et 5) rigide ou semi-rigide, lequel est configuré pour faciliter la mise en place du connecteur 19, et pour répartir la tension de maintien lorsque l'utilisateur est en position de travail. L'insert 21 comprend à titre d'exemple, une coque 22 en matière plastique ayant un orifice 23 interne non déformable et adaptable à l'ouverture 18 de la boucle 17 textile. La périphérie de la coque 22 est pourvue de moyens de guidage 24a, 24b pour le cheminement de la boucle 17 textile lors de son enroulement dans la coque 22. De préférence, cette boucle 17 est fabriquée en continuité avec une partie intermédiaire de la sangle de ceinture 14. Par exemple, la même sangle forme la boucle textile 14 et la ceinture ou une bretelle du harnais. L'insert 21 assure que l'ouverture 18 de la boucle représente une surface minimale compatible avec l'insertion d'un connecteur 19. En d'autres termes, l'insert n'est pas configuré pour supporter le poids de l'utilisateur lorsque si ce dernier est maintenu uniquement par l'insert 21, c'est-à-dire sans la sangle. Le matériau formant l'insert 21 peut être inadapté et/ou la fixation de l'insert sur la structure porteuse du harnais peut ne pas être configurée pour supporter le poids de l'utilisateur.According to the invention, the opening 18 of the textile loop 17 is stiffened by an insert 21 ( Figures 4 and 5 ) rigid or semi-rigid, which is configured to facilitate the introduction of the connector 19, and to distribute the holding voltage when the user is in the working position. The insert 21 comprises, by way of example, a plastic shell 22 having an internal orifice 23 which is non-deformable and adaptable to the opening 18 of the textile loop 17. The periphery of the shell 22 is provided with guide means 24a, 24b for the routing of the textile loop 17 during its winding in the shell 22. Preferably, this loop 17 is manufactured in continuity with an intermediate portion of the strap of 14. For example, the same strap forms the textile loop 14 and the belt or shoulder strap of the harness. The insert 21 ensures that the opening 18 of the loop represents a minimum surface compatible with the insertion of a connector 19. In other words, the insert is not configured to support the weight of the user. when if it is maintained only by the insert 21, that is to say without the strap. The material forming the insert 21 may be unsuitable and / or the attachment of the insert on the carrying structure of the harness may not be configured to support the weight of the user.

De manière avantageuse, l'insert 21 n'assure aucune tenue mécanique lorsque le point de connexion et de retenue 16 est mis sous tension. La tenue mécanique est assurée par le matériau textile qui définit l'ouverture 18. L'insert retransmet les efforts au matériau textile. L'insert 21 est configuré pour la boucle en matière textile ne se referme pas sur elle-même ce qui oblige l'utilisateur à utiliser ses deux mains pour insérer le connecteur 19 dans l'ouverture 18 et fixer mécaniquement le connecteur 19 avec le point de connexion et de retenue 16.Advantageously, the insert 21 provides no mechanical strength when the connection and retaining point 16 is energized. The mechanical strength is provided by the textile material which defines the opening 18. The insert retransmits the forces to the textile material. The insert 21 is configured for the loop of textile material does not close on itself which requires the user to use both hands to insert the connector 19 in the opening 18 and mechanically fix the connector 19 with the point connection and restraint 16.

La coque 22 de l'insert 21 présente une forme d'anse en Oméga, avec une base 25 légèrement incurvée, et surmontée d'un arceau 26 pour former ledit orifice 23 interne de maintien. Il est avantageux d'avoir une base 25 légèrement incurvée pour mieux s'adapter la morphologie du bassin de l'utilisateur. La coque 22 empêche la boucle en matière textile de se refermer sur elle-même. Dans les modes de réalisation illustrés, la boucle textile est tendue ou légèrement tendue afin de suivre la forme définie par la coque 22 de l'insert 21.The shell 22 of the insert 21 has a shape of Omega loop, with a base 25 slightly curved, and surmounted by a hoop 26 to form said internal orifice 23 for holding. It is advantageous to have a slightly curved base 25 to better adapt the morphology of the user's pelvis. The shell 22 prevents the loop of textile material to close on itself. In the illustrated embodiments, the textile loop is stretched or slightly tensioned in order to follow the shape defined by the shell 22 of the insert 21.

Le passage de la sangle 14 dans l'insert 21 s'effectue de la manière suivante:
Sur la figure 4, on plie d'abord la sangle 14 sur elle-même dans le sens de la longueur pour la faire passer dans les moyens de guidage 24a de l'arceau 26. A sa sortie de l'arceau 26, elle est dépliée pour reprendre la largeur normale de la sangle 14, et ressort par l'extrémité de gauche de la base 25, pour former une boucle 27 en U. Le prolongement de la boucle 27 passe ensuite en sens inverse dans les moyens de guidage 24b pour ressortir par l'extrémité de droite de la base 25. De cette manière, la sangle 14 forme une boucle fermée et l'insert 21 est situé dans la boucle fermée. De manière avantageuse, la boucle textile fermée 17 est maintenue fermée par tout moyen adapté, par exemple par couture.The passage of the strap 14 in the insert 21 is carried out as follows:
On the figure 4 the strap 14 is first folded on itself in the longitudinal direction in order to pass it through the guide means 24a of the arch 26. At its exit from the arch 26, it is unfolded to take up the normal width of the strap 14, and spring through the left end of the base 25, to form a loop 27 U. The extension of the loop 27 then passes in the opposite direction in the guide means 24b to emerge by the right end of the base 25. In this manner, the strap 14 forms a closed loop and the insert 21 is located in the closed loop. Advantageously, the closed textile loop 17 is kept closed by any suitable means, for example by sewing.

Sur les figures 5 et 6, après avoir introduit une boucle de réglage 28 additionnelle dans la boucle 27, l'ensemble boucle 17 textile et coque 22 de la figure 4 est fixé sur le bandeau de rembourrage 13 de la ceinture 11 au moyen de diverses coutures 29, 30 pour constituer le point de connexion 16 renforcé. Dans l'exemple illustré, la boucle 27 est une boucle terminale qui est utilisée pour fixer un dispositif de réglage de la circonférence de la sangle 28, par exemple un dispositif de réglage de la circonférence de la ceinture ou d'une bretelle. La boucle terminale forme une extrémité de la sangle.On the figures 5 and 6 , after introducing an additional adjustment loop 28 in the loop 27, the entire loop 17 textile and shell 22 of the figure 4 is attached to the padding strip 13 of the belt 11 by means of various seams 29, 30 to form the reinforced connection point 16. In the example shown, the loop 27 is an end loop which is used to secure a device for adjusting the circumference of the strap 28, for example a device for adjusting the circumference of the belt or shoulder strap. The end loop forms one end of the strap.

Selon un mode de réalisation de la figure 3, la sangle 14 est une sangle de ceinture qui comporte au moins deux points de connexion 16 latéraux situés de part et d'autre de la boucle de fixation 15 centrale, l'ensemble étant configuré pour répartir symétriquement la tension de maintien sur toute la hauteur de la ceinture 11.According to one embodiment of the figure 3 , the strap 14 is a belt strap which has at least two lateral connection points 16 located on either side of the central fastening loop, the assembly being configured to symmetrically distribute the holding tension over the entire height of the belt 11.

Un point de connexion supplémentaire peut aussi être prévu à l'arrière de la sangle de ceinture 14.An additional connection point may also be provided at the back of the waist strap 14.

La figure 1 montre comment est sécurisé un utilisateur lors de sa montée le long d'un pylône 31. Il entoure la longe 20 de sécurité autour d'un tronçon du montant vertical du pylône 31, et accroche les deux bouts opposés de la longe 20 aux deux points de connexion 16 latéraux de la ceinture 11 au moyen de connecteurs 19. Il en résulte un état de maintien au travail qui permet à l'utilisateur de travailler en toute sécurité. Un appareil anti-chute 32 est placé en plus à l'arrière du harnais 10, et coopère avec une corde 33 pour bloquer toute chute de l'utilisateur.The figure 1 shows how a user is secured when climbing along a pylon 31. It surrounds the safety lanyard 20 around a section of the vertical upright of the pylon 31, and hooks the two opposite ends of the lanyard 20 at the two points 16 of the lateral connection of the belt 11 by means of connectors 19. This results in a state of maintenance at work that allows the user to work safely. An anti-fall device 32 is placed further behind the harness 10, and cooperates with a rope 33 to block any fall of the user.

Dans l'exemple illustré, les ouvertures 18 sont des orifices traversants dans un plan de coupe comprenant l'axe longitudinal de la sangle, par exemple l'axe longitudinal de la ceinture. Le plan de coupe peut être un plan horizontal lorsque l'utilisateur est debout. Les connecteurs viennent alors naturellement se placer dans leur position de travail sans torde la boucle de la sangle qui forme le point de connexion. Les connecteurs appliquent une force sur l'insert et cette force est répartie sur une plus grande surface au moyen de l'insert 21. Le confort est amélioré. La surface de l'ouverture 18 est définie par l'insert qui tend la boucle textile de manière à ce que les points de fixation de la sangle soient toujours sollicités de manière homogène.In the illustrated example, the openings 18 are through holes in a cutting plane comprising the longitudinal axis of the strap, for example the longitudinal axis of the belt. The cutting plane can be a horizontal plane when the user is standing. The connectors are then naturally placed in their working position without twisting the loop of the strap that forms the connection point. The connectors apply a force on the insert and this force is distributed over a larger area by means of the insert 21. The comfort is improved. The surface of the opening 18 is defined by the insert which tends the textile loop so that the fastening points of the strap are always homogeneously stressed.

La figure 2 illustre une vue agrandie du raccordement du connecteur 19 de la longe 20. L'arceau 26 de l'insert 21 s'étend le long de la sangle de ceinture 14, ce qui permet au connecteur 19 de se placer sensiblement parallèlement à la ceinture 11. La coque 22 en plastique rigidifie la structure de la boucle 17, et maintient l'ouverture 18 de la boucle 17 textile, ce qui facilite le raccordement du connecteur 19. La coque 22 assure que l'ouverture 18 présente une surface minimale qui facilite la coopération avec un connecteur.The figure 2 illustrates an enlarged view of the connector 19 connection of the lanyard 20. The arch 26 of the insert 21 extends along the belt strap 14, which allows the connector 19 to be placed substantially parallel to the 11. The plastic shell 22 stiffens the structure of the loop 17, and maintains the opening 18 of the textile loop 17, which facilitates the connection of the connector 19. The shell 22 ensures that the opening 18 has a minimum surface which facilitates cooperation with a connector.

Sur la figure 6, on note que la largeur de la base 25 de la coque 22 du point de connexion 16 permet de répartir la tension de retenue exercée par la longe 20 sur l'arrière de la ceinture. Cette répartition P de la tension s'exerce sur toute la hauteur du bandeau 13 de rembourrage, c'est à dire sur une hauteur plus importante que celle de la sangle de ceinture 14. L'utilisation de ces points de connexion 16 ergonomiques assure un confort optimum de maintien au travail. Il est particulièrement avantageux d'avoir une base 25 dont la largeur est supérieure à la largeur de la sangle 14 et éventuellement inférieure à la largeur du bandeau de rembourrage. La largeur est mesurée selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la sangle, ici selon une direction perpendiculaire aux flèches représentant la tension P.On the figure 6 it is noted that the width of the base 25 of the shell 22 of the connection point 16 distributes the retaining tension exerted by the lanyard 20 on the back of the belt. This distribution P of the tension is exerted over the entire height of the padding strip 13, that is to say on a height greater than that of the belt strap 14. The use of these 16 ergonomic connection points ensures optimum comfort at work. It is particularly advantageous to have a base 25 whose width is greater than the width of the strap 14 and possibly less than the width of the padding strip. The width is measured in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strap, here in a direction perpendicular to the arrows representing the tension P.

Les figures 7 et 8 montrent une variante de réalisation du point de connexion 116. La sangle auxiliaire 134 constitutive de la boucle 117 est dans ce cas distincte de la sangle de ceinture 14 principale. La sangle auxiliaire 134 s'étend le long de l'arceau 126 de l'insert 121, et ressort de la base 125 de la coque 122 en étant cousue sur la sangle de ceinture 14. La base 125 de l'insert 121 est en forme de plaque rectangulaire, laquelle est cousue sur le bandeau de rembourrage 13 de la ceinture par des coutures 29. L'arceau 126 est incliné vers la gauche par rapport à la base 125.The figures 7 and 8 show an alternative embodiment of the connection point 116. The auxiliary strap 134 constituting the loop 117 is in this case separate from the main belt 14. The auxiliary strap 134 extends along the hoop 126 of the insert 121, and emerges from the base 125 of the shell 122 by being sewn onto the waist strap 14. The base 125 of the insert 121 is rectangular plate shape, which is sewn on the padding strip 13 of the belt by seams 29. The bow 126 is inclined to the left relative to the base 125.

Il est possible de prévoir des points de connexion rigidifiés sur toute autre partie du harnais, notamment pour réaliser en plus des points latéraux de maintien au travail, un point de connexion antichute, ou des points de retenue auxiliaires, notamment ventral et sternal. La base 25, 125 de l'insert 21, 121 est configurée de manière spécifique pour chacun de ces points de connexion.It is possible to provide rigidized connection points on any other part of the harness, in particular to perform in addition to the lateral retention points at work, a fall protection connection point, or auxiliary retaining points, especially ventral and sternal. The base 25, 125 of the insert 21, 121 is configured specifically for each of these connection points.

L'invention s'applique ainsi à un harnais cuissard avec ou sans harnais torse, et également à une simple ceinture de maintien au travail sans cuissard et sans torse.The invention thus applies to a sit harness with or without torso harness, and also to a simple seat belt at work without shorts and without torso.
