Description

Gilet de protection, notamment chasuble ou gilet tactique, gilet porte-plaque ou gilet pare-balles Protective vest, including chasuble or tactical vest, plate carrier or bulletproof vest
[0001 ] La présente invention se rapporte à un gilet de protection, notamment une chasuble ou gilet tactique, un gilet porte-plaque ou un gilet pare-balles. The present invention relates to a protective vest, in particular a chasuble or tactical vest, a plate carrier vest or a bulletproof vest.
[0002] Un gilet de protection est destiné à être porté par un utilisateur, notamment un membre des forces de l'ordre, un militaire ou analogue, soit, lorsqu'il s'agit d'un gilet porte-plaque ou d'un gilet pare-balles, pour se protéger contre des coups, tels que des coups de pied, de poing ou analogues, des impacts de projectiles, tels que des balles ou analogues, et/ou contre des coups de couteau ou analogues, soit, dans le cas d'une chasuble, pour porter un ensemble d'objets nécessaires à sa mission, par exemple une arme, des menottes, des documents, etc. [0002] A protective vest is intended to be worn by a user, in particular a member of the police, a soldier or the like, that is to say, when it is a plate holder vest or a bulletproof vest, to protect against blows, such as kicks, punches or the like, impacts of projectiles, such as bullets or the like, and / or against stabbing or the like, either, in the case of a chasuble, to carry a set of objects necessary for its mission, for example a weapon, handcuffs, documents, etc.
[0003] Il existe ainsi différents types de gilet de protection. [0003] There are thus different types of protective vest.
[0004] Le premier type de gilet de protection, qui offre la protection la moins grande, est désigné sous le terme de chasuble d’intervention ou "gilet tactique". Une chasuble d'intervention ne comporte pas de poche destinée à recevoir des plaques de protection contre les coups ou les balles, telles que des plaques en céramique, mais comporte en revanche un certain nombre de moyens de fixation amovible d'éléments, tels que des jumelles, un talkie-walkie, une arme et analogues, pour les fixer à même sur le gilet et les rendre facilement disponibles à l'utilisateur/porteur du gilet. Ce type de gilet présente un faible degré de protection aux balles ou aux coups. [0004] The first type of protective vest, which offers the least protection, is referred to as an intervention chasuble or "tactical vest". An intervention chasuble does not have a pocket intended to receive protection plates against blows or bullets, such as ceramic plates, but on the other hand has a certain number of removable fixing means of elements, such as binoculars, a walkie-talkie, a weapon and the like, to attach them directly to the vest and make them readily available to the user / wearer of the vest. This type of vest has a low degree of protection against bullets or blows.
[0005] Un deuxième type de gilet de protection est le gilet pare-balles ou pare-coups, qui comprend une ou plusieurs poches, notamment à l'avant et à l'arrière, destinées à recevoir des plaques, telles que des plaques en céramique ou des blocs en matière thermoplastique, notamment en aramide ou en polyéthylène, ou une combinaison de plaques en céramique et de blocs en polyéthylène ou aramide de ce genre. La protection conférée par ce type de gilet pare-balles est bien plus élevée que celle conférée par un gilet tactique. [0005] A second type of protective vest is the bulletproof vest, which comprises one or more pockets, in particular at the front and at the rear, intended to receive plates, such as plates in ceramic or blocks of thermoplastic material, in particular of aramid or polyethylene, or a combination of ceramic plates and blocks of polyethylene or aramid of this kind. The protection conferred by this type of bulletproof vest is much higher than that conferred by a tactical vest.
[0006] A ces deux types de gilet, on peut en outre associer un type complémentaire respectif de gilet qui consiste à prévoir des éléments de protection des épaules/bras, ces éléments comportant une pluralité de coques disposées les unes à la suite de l’autre le long du bras de l’utilisateur, en partant de l’épaule. [0006] These two types of vest can also be associated with a respective complementary type of vest which consists in providing protective elements for the shoulders / arms, these elements comprising a plurality of shells arranged one after the other along the user's arm, starting from the shoulder.
[0007] On obtient ainsi un troisième type de gilet, ou premier type bis constitué du gilet tactique auquel a été adjoint, de manière amovible ou non, deux éléments de protection d’épaule/bras gauche et droit et un quatrième type ou deuxième type bis, constitué du gilet pare balles auquel a été adjoint, de manière amovible ou non, deux éléments de protection d’épaule/bras gauche et droit. [0007] A third type of vest is thus obtained, or first type a consisting of the tactical vest to which has been added, removably or not, two left and right shoulder / arm protection elements and a fourth type or second type bis, made up of the bulletproof vest to which has been added, removable or not, two left and right shoulder / arm protection elements.
[0008] Classiquement, un gilet de protection comporte une face avant externe destinée, lorsque le gilet est porté, à se trouver du côté avant du porteur, une face arrière externe destinée à se trouver dans le dos du porteur, les deux faces avant et arrière étant complétées par deux flancs latéraux, respectivement gauche et droit, tandis que des parties d'épaule, respectivement gauche et droite, forment avec les bords supérieurs des deux faces avant et arrière et des deux flancs, un trou pour la tête et deux trous, respectivement gauche et droit, pour les bras de l'utilisateur/porteur du gilet. [0008] Conventionally, a protective vest comprises an external front face intended, when the vest is worn, to be on the front side of the wearer, an external rear face intended to be located in the wearer's back, the two front faces and rear being completed by two side flanks, left and right respectively, while shoulder parts, left and right respectively, form with the upper edges of the two front and rear faces and both sides, a hole for the head and two holes , respectively left and right, for the arms of the user / wearer of the vest.
[0009] Compte tenu du poids des plaques de protection insérées dans les poches d'un gilet pare-balles ou pare-coups, et ce même si les dernières avancées technologiques ont permis de le réduire, il est difficile pour un membre des forces de l'ordre de porter en permanence un gilet pare-balles. En outre, si l'on doit y rajouter les éléments qu'il transporte classiquement pour les interventions habituelles sans violence, tels que talkie-walkie, arme, jumelles, insigne et analogues, il n'est pas possible d'envisager de prévoir une fixation de ces éléments directement sur les faces avant et/ou arrière d'un gilet pare-balles pour obtenir ainsi un gilet ayant la double fonction de gilet tactique et de gilet pare-balles. Il en résulte que les forces de l'ordre, en intervention, ont la nécessité de conserver auprès d'elles, en permanence, deux types de gilet en fonction de la situation, ce qui prend de la place, notamment dans les véhicules d'intervention, ainsi que du temps de manœuvre pour passer d'un gilet à l'autre. [0009] Given the weight of the protective plates inserted in the pockets of a bulletproof or body armor vest, and even if the latest technological advances have made it possible to reduce it, it is difficult for a member of the forces to the order to wear a bulletproof vest at all times. In addition, if we must add to it the elements that it carries conventionally for the usual interventions without violence, such as walkie-talkie, weapon, binoculars, insignia and the like, it is not possible to envisage providing a fixing these elements directly on the front and / or rear faces of a bulletproof vest to thus obtain a vest having the dual function of tactical vest and bulletproof vest. It follows that the police, in intervention, have the need to keep near them, at all times, two types of vests depending on the situation, which takes up space, in particular in the vehicles of intervention, as well as the maneuver time to switch from one BC to another.
[0010] La présente invention vise à surmonter les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un gilet de protection, qui permet de maintenir au niveau le plus bas possible le nombre de vêtements ou parties de vêtement à stocker dans un véhicule d'intervention, tout en permettant aux forces de l'ordre de disposer d'au moins deux, et notamment quatre, types de protection. En outre, on souhaite pouvoir passer plus rapidement d'un type de gilet à un autre en fonction des besoins ou de la situation rencontrée. The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a protective vest, which keeps the number of garments or parts of clothing to be stored in an intervention vehicle as low as possible, while allowing the police to have at their disposal minus two, and in particular four, types of protection. In addition, we want to be able to switch more quickly from one type of vest to another depending on the needs or the situation encountered.

[0037] Aux figures 1 et 2, il est représenté un mode de réalisation d'un gilet de base d’un ensemble suivant l'invention. Ce gilet de base comporte une partie 1 avant destinée à être portée sur le devant pour couvrir le thorax et l’abdomen et une partie 6 arrière destinée à être portée à l’arrière pour couvrir le dos. La partie 1 avant définit une région 2 avant sensiblement rectangulaire prolongée sur le côté par deux régions 3 de flanc droite et gauche destinées à venir recouvrir au moins en partie le flanc de l'utilisateur et à coopérer avec des régions correspondantes de la partie 6 arrière pour assurer une protection latérale autour de la taille du porteur. In Figures 1 and 2, there is shown an embodiment of a basic vest of an assembly according to the invention. This basic vest has a front part 1 intended to be worn on the front to cover the thorax and abdomen and a rear part 6 intended to be worn on the back to cover the back. The front part 1 defines a substantially rectangular front region 2 extended on the side by two regions 3 of the right and left flanks intended to come to cover at least part of the side of the user and to cooperate with corresponding regions of the rear part 6 to provide side protection around the wearer's waist.
[0038] La partie 6 arrière définit une région 7 arrière sensiblement rectangulaire prolongée sur le côté par deux régions 8 de flanc droite et gauche destinées à venir recouvrir au moins en partie le flanc de l'utilisateur et à assurer avec les régions 3 correspondantes de la partie 1 formant face avant une protection latérale complète autour de la taille du porteur. [0039] La partie 6 arrière comporte dans la partie supérieure en outre deux parties 1 1 d’épaule gauche et droite arrière destinées à coopérer avec deux parties 10 d’épaule gauche et droite avant en forme de languettes dans la partie supérieure de la face 1 avant d'épaule pour assurer la fixation amovible sur le haut des deux parties 1 avant et 6 arrière. Ces fixations amovibles se font par l'intermédiaire de boucles et crochets auto agrippants, sous la forme de champs de crochets ou de boucles formés à la surface des parties 10, notamment du côté avant (visible à la figure 2) et du côté arrière (non visible à la figure 2) et de champs de boucles ou crochets respectifs formés sur les faces antagonistes des parties 1 1 d'épaule de la partie 1 avant, chaque partie 1 1 d’épaule étant constituée de deux languettes 12A et 12B, respectivement arrière et avant prenant en sandwich une languette 10 respective, les champs de boucles ou crochets issus des deux côtés de la languette 10 coopérant par accrochage avec les champs de crochets ou boucles des languettes 12A et 12B. The rear part 6 defines a substantially rectangular rear region 7 extended on the side by two regions 8 of right and left flank intended to come to cover at least part of the side of the user and to ensure with the corresponding regions 3 of part 1 forming the front face complete side protection around the waist of the wearer. The rear part 6 comprises in the upper part furthermore two parts 1 1 left and right shoulder rear intended to cooperate with two parts 10 of the left and right shoulder front in the form of tabs in the upper part of the face 1 front shoulder to ensure removable attachment to the top of the two parts 1 front and 6 rear. These removable fasteners are made by means of self-gripping buckles and hooks, in the form of hook or loop fields formed on the surface of the parts 10, in particular on the front side (visible in FIG. 2) and on the rear side ( not visible in Figure 2) and fields of loops or respective hooks formed on the opposing faces of the shoulder parts 1 1 of the front part 1, each shoulder part 1 1 consisting of two tabs 12A and 12B, respectively rear and front sandwiching a respective tongue 10, the fields of loops or hooks from both sides of the tongue 10 cooperating by hooking with the fields of hooks or loops of the tongues 12A and 12B.
[0040] A la place d’autoagrippant à crochets et boucles, on pourrait également réaliser ces fixations par l'intermédiaire de boutons pression, de fixations à boucles, de fermetures à glissière et analogues. [0040] Instead of hook-and-loop fasteners, these fasteners could also be achieved through snaps, buckle fasteners, zippers and the like.
[0041 ] La partie 6 arrière comporte en outre deux rabats 9 gauche et droit qui s’étendent à partir de la face arrière de la partie arrière, à l’arrière des flancs 8, et qui comportent à leur extrémité respective des moyens de fixation amovible pour une fixation à la partie 1 avant et ainsi fermer le gilet autour de la taille de l’utilisateur. The rear part 6 further comprises two left and right flaps 9 which extend from the rear face of the rear part, to the rear of the sidewalls 8, and which comprise at their respective end fixing means removable for attachment to the front part 1 and thus close the vest around the user's waist.
[0042] Notamment ces moyens de fixation amovible peuvent prendre la forme de champs 60 de boucles formés sur les faces intérieures des rabats 9 pour venir s’accrocher à un champs 17 de crochets 17 inférieur issus de la face avant de la partie 1 avant. En outre, il est prévu, sur la face opposée extérieure, des champs 16d, 16g droit et gauche de crochets pour remplacer, vis-à-vis de platines 30 ou 40 destinées à venir se fixer de manière amovible sur la face avant du gilet de base, les crochets du champ 17 pris par les boucles 60 pour assurer une fixation complète des platines à l’état porté du gilet. [0042] In particular, these removable fixing means may take the form of fields 60 of loops formed on the inner faces of the flaps 9 in order to hook onto a field 17 of lower hooks 17 from the front face of the front part 1. In addition, it is provided, on the outer opposite face, 16d, 16g right and left fields of hooks to replace, vis-à-vis plates 30 or 40 intended to come to be fixed in a removable manner on the front face of the vest. base, the hooks of the field 17 taken by the loops 60 to ensure complete fixing of the plates in the worn state of the vest.
[0043] Les deux rabats 9 comportent en outre chacun une languette 28 s’étendant à partir de leur bord supérieur et comportant des champs 29A de crochets ou boucles destinés à venir coopérer avec un champs 29B de boucles ou crochets associé formé sur la face intérieure du rabats 9, les champs 29A et 29B étant destinés à coopérer l’un avec l’autre en emprisonnant entre eux les bords des flancs 3 et 8 lorsque ceux-ci sont positionnés autour de la teille de l’utilisateur, garantissant ainsi un bon maintien des flancs à l’état porté du gilet. The two flaps 9 further each comprise a tongue 28 extending from their upper edge and comprising fields 29A of hooks or loops intended to cooperate with a field 29B of associated loops or hooks formed on the inner face of the flaps 9, the fields 29A and 29B being intended to cooperate with one another by trapping the edges of the sides 3 and 8 between them when these are positioned around the user's bottle, thus guaranteeing good support for the sides in the worn state of the vest.
[0044] Dans la position dans laquelle les flancs 3 et 8 sont rabattus l'un vers l'autre autour de la taille de l'utilisateur et les parties de liaison d’épaule sont reliées les unes aux autres, il est formé entre la partie 1 avant et la partie 6 arrière trois trous, respectivement deux trous gauche et droit pour les bras de l'utilisateur et un trou central pour la tête de l'utilisateur. In the position in which the sides 3 and 8 are folded towards each other around the waist of the user and the shoulder connecting parts are connected to each other, it is formed between the front part 1 and rear part 6 three holes, respectively two left and right holes for the user's arms and a central hole for the user's head.
[0045] Deux boucles à embout femelle 13 gauche et droite font saillie en partie haute de la région 2 avant tandis que deux boucles à embout femelle 14 gauche et droite font saillie en partie haute de la région 7 arrière. Two female end buckles 13 left and right protrude in the upper part of the front region 2 while two left and right female end loops 14 protrude in the upper part of the rear region 7.
[0046] Ces boucles 13, 14 qui pourraient être remplacées par des boucles à embout mâle, des boutons pression, des éléments de fixation crochets ou boucles auto agrippants, l’une ou l’autre des deux éléments d’une fermeture à glissière ou tout autre moyen de fixation amovible habituel, permettent de réaliser non seulement une fonction de première fixation mais aussi de définir le bon positionnement, lors de sa fixation, d'une platine en recouvrement respectivement des régions 2 avant et 4 arrière. These loops 13, 14 which could be replaced by buckles with a male end, press studs, hook fastening elements or self-gripping loops, one or the other of the two elements of a zipper or any other usual removable fixing means, make it possible to perform not only a first fixing function but also to define the correct positioning, during its fixing, of a plate covering respectively the front and rear regions 2.
[0047] Deux champs 17 inférieur et 18 supérieur, notamment de forme rectangulaire ou carré, de crochets sont formés sur la région 2 en dessous des boucles 13 de préfixation/positionnement. Ces deux champs 17 et 18 de crochets remplissent sensiblement toute la face 200 avant externe de la région 2 avant. On pourrait également ne prévoir qu'un seul champ de crochets recouvrant la totalité de la face avant, c'est-à-dire également la partie intermédiaire entre les champs 17 et 18. Two fields 17 lower and 18 upper, in particular of rectangular or square shape, of hooks are formed on region 2 below the loops 13 of prefixing / positioning. These two fields 17 and 18 of hooks substantially fill the entire outer front face 200 of the front region 2. It would also be possible to provide only one field of brackets covering the entire front face, that is to say also the intermediate part between fields 17 and 18.
[0048] De même, la face 700 arrière externe de la région 7 arrière comporte deux champs de crochets 19 inférieur et 20 supérieur identiques ou sensiblement identiques aux champs 17 et 18. On pourrait également ne prévoir qu'un seul champ de crochets incluant les deux champs 19 et 20, ainsi que la partie intermédiaire entre les deux champs de crochets. [0049] Aux figures 3, 4 et 5, il est représenté le gilet de base à l’état porté, dans lequel les régions de flanc 8 ont été rabattues sur la face avant ou externe de la partie 1 avant, les champs 60 de boucles coopérant avec le champ 17 de crochets, notamment chacun des deux champs 60 gauche et droite recouvrant une moitié respective du champs 17. On pourrait cependant prévoir qu’ils recouvrent chacun moins que la moitié du champs 17, de sorte que certains crochets, centraux, du champs 17 restent accessible de l’extérieur. Likewise, the outer rear face 700 of the rear region 7 comprises two fields of lower and 20 upper hooks identical or substantially identical to the fields 17 and 18. One could also provide only one field of hooks including the two fields 19 and 20, as well as the intermediate part between the two fields of brackets. Figures 3, 4 and 5, there is shown the basic vest in the worn state, in which the sidewall regions 8 have been folded over the front or outer face of the front part 1, the fields 60 of loops cooperating with the field 17 of hooks, in particular each of the two left and right fields 60 covering a respective half of the field 17. It could however be provided that they each cover less than half of the field 17, so that certain hooks, central , from field 17 remain accessible from the outside.
[0050] Ainsi, à l’état porté du gilet, la face 100 avant externe du gilet de base est formée d’une part par la partie supérieure de la face 200 avant externe de la région 2 avant de la partie 1 avant (la partie de la face 200 avant externe qui n’est pas recouverte par les flancs 8 et les languettes 9) et d’autre part par la face externe des languettes 9, rabattues sur la partie inférieure de la face 200 avant externe. Thus, in the worn state of the vest, the outer front face 100 of the basic vest is formed on the one hand by the upper part of the outer front face 200 of the front region 2 of the front part 1 (the part of the outer front face 200 which is not covered by the flanks 8 and the tongues 9) and on the other hand by the outer face of the tongues 9, folded over the lower part of the outer front face 200.
[0051 ] A l’état porté du gilet, sa face 100 avant externe, qui recouvre le thorax et l’abdomen en ayant une forme sensiblement rectangulaire, comporte deux champs de crochets, à savoir d’une part le champ 18 issu de la face 200 avant externe de la région 2 avant de la partie 1 avant et d’autre part le champ 16 de crochets formé par les champs 16d et 16g droit et gauche, ainsi qu’éventuellement les crochets du champ 17 non recouverts par les languettes 9 dans le cas où les champs 16d et 16g ne recouvrent pas totalement le champs 17 et laissent accessible une partie centrale du champ 17 de crochets. In the worn state of the vest, its outer front face 100, which covers the thorax and the abdomen by having a substantially rectangular shape, comprises two fields of hooks, namely on the one hand the field 18 from the outer face 200 of the front region 2 of the front part 1 and on the other hand the field 16 of hooks formed by the right and left fields 16d and 16g, as well as possibly the hooks of the field 17 not covered by the tongues 9 in the case where the fields 16d and 16g do not completely cover the field 17 and leave accessible a central part of the field 17 of brackets.
[0052] Quant à sa face 700 arrière externe, qui recouvre le dos du porteur, elle est formée par la face externe de la région 7 arrière. As for its outer rear face 700, which covers the back of the wearer, it is formed by the outer face of the rear region 7.
[0053] On définit la région de fixation, notamment d’accrochage, de la face 100 avant externe du gilet, respectivement de la face 700 arrière externe du gilet, comme la région de plus grande surface possible délimitée par la ligne fermée L passant par les crochets les plus excentrés de la région de manière à inclure la totalité des crochets issus de la face 100 avant externe, respectivement 700 arrière externe. Ainsi par exemple, aux figures 3 et 6, la ligne L englobe les deux champs 16 et 17, respectivement 19 et 20, ainsi que le champ intermédiaire entre les deux champs 16 et 17, respectivement 19 et 20. Cette région correspond à la région de fixation de la platine antagoniste comportant des champs de boucles associé, sachant que lorsque cette platine antagoniste est fixée sur la face 100 avant externe, respectivement sur la face 700 arrière externe, du gilet de base, les parties de la platine en face de la région de fixation délimitée par la ligne L ne sont plus libres, tandis que les parties à l’extérieur de la ligne L sont en parties libres, pouvant par exemple être pliées au niveau de la ligne L. Ainsi par exemple, la région intermédiaire entre les champs 16 et 17, respectivement 19 et 20, bien que ne comportant pas de crochets, est aussi bloquée par la coopération crochets boucles. The fixing region, in particular hooking, of the outer front face 100 of the vest, respectively of the outer rear face 700 of the vest, is defined as the region of the largest possible surface area delimited by the closed line L passing through the most eccentric hooks in the region so as to include all of the hooks from the outer front 100, respectively the outer rear 700. Thus, for example, in FIGS. 3 and 6, the line L includes the two fields 16 and 17, respectively 19 and 20, as well as the intermediate field between the two fields 16 and 17, respectively 19 and 20. This region corresponds to the region for fixing the antagonist plate comprising associated loop fields, knowing that when this antagonist plate is fixed to the outer 100 front face, respectively on the outer rear face 700, of the base vest, the parts of the plate opposite the binding region delimited by the line L are no longer free, while the parts outside the line L are in parts free, for example being able to be folded at the level of the line L. Thus for example, the intermediate region between the fields 16 and 17, respectively 19 and 20, although not comprising hooks, is also blocked by the hook-loop cooperation.
[0054] De préférence, la région de fixation respective délimitée par la ligne L recouvre une majeure partie de la face 100 avant externe du gilet, respectivement de la face 700 arrière externe du gilet, notamment plus de 50%, de préférence plus de 60%, de préférence plus de 70% et encore plus préférablement de plus de 80%. Preferably, the respective attachment region delimited by the line L covers a major part of the outer front face 100 of the vest, respectively of the outer rear face 700 of the vest, in particular more than 50%, preferably more than 60 %, preferably more than 70% and even more preferably more than 80%.
[0055] Les lignes L sont représentées en pointillés aux figures 5 et 6. The lines L are shown in dotted lines in Figures 5 and 6.
[0056] A la place de champs de crochets, on pourrait évidemment prévoir des champs des boucles et inversement des champs de crochets à la place des champs de boucles. En outre, à la place de champs de crochets et/ou de boucles, on pourrait prévoir une pluralité de boutons pression, par exemple sous la forme de rangées et/ou colonnes issues des régions 2 et 7 ou une ou plusieurs fermetures à glissière. On définirait alors de la même manière la région de fixation comme étant la région de plus grande surface possible délimitée par la ligne fermée L passant par les boutons ou fermeture les plus excentrés de la région de manière à inclure la totalité des boutons ou fermetures issus de la face 100 avant externe, respectivement 700 arrière externe, la région correspondant à la région de fixation de la platine antagoniste comportant des champs de boutons ou fermetures associés, sachant que lorsque cette platine antagoniste est fixée sur la région 2 avant, respectivement 7 arrière, les parties de la platine en face de la région de fixation délimitée par la ligne L ne sont plus libres, tandis que les parties à l’extérieur de la ligne L sont en parties libres, pouvant par exemple être pliées par rapport à la partie centrale délimité par la ligne L, qui est bloquée par la région de fixation. Aux figures 4 et 5, les lignes L sont représentées légèrement décalées vers l’extérieur pour facilité leur visibilité. Instead of hook fields, it would obviously be possible to provide loop fields and conversely hook fields instead of loop fields. In addition, instead of fields of hooks and / or loops, a plurality of press studs could be provided, for example in the form of rows and / or columns from regions 2 and 7 or one or more zippers. The fixing region would then be defined in the same way as being the region of the largest possible surface area delimited by the closed line L passing through the most eccentric buttons or closure of the region so as to include all of the buttons or closures resulting from the outer 100 front face, respectively 700 outer rear, the region corresponding to the fixing region of the opposing plate comprising fields of associated buttons or closures, knowing that when this opposing plate is fixed to the front region 2, respectively 7 rear, the parts of the plate opposite the fixing region delimited by the line L are no longer free, while the parts outside the line L are in free parts, which can for example be bent relative to the central part delimited by line L, which is blocked by the fixation region. In Figures 4 and 5, the L lines are shown shifted slightly outward for ease of visibility.
[0057] A la figure 6, il est représenté le gilet des figures 1 à 5 auquel a été adjoints une platine 30 du type à plaques, destinée à coopérer avec le gilet de base, de préférence également avec une deuxième platine 30 identique, pour former un porte-plaque ou gilet pare-balles. In Figure 6, there is shown the vest of Figures 1 to 5 which has been added a plate 30 of the plate type, intended to cooperate with the base vest, preferably also with an identical second plate 30, to form a plate holder or bulletproof vest.
[0058] La platine 30 est de forme sensiblement rectangulaire ou carrée. Elle est constituée de deux feuilles, étoffes, tissus ou analogues respectivement avant et arrière cousues l’une à l’autre le long de leur bord périphérique pour former entre elles une poche fermée destinée à recevoir une ou des plaques de protection, notamment une ou des plaques en céramique, un ou plusieurs blocs de plis en matière thermoplastique, notamment en polyéthylène ou en aramide ou une combinaison de plaques et blocs de ce genre. Cette poche est fermée le long du bord inférieur de la platine par une fermeture 34 dite à glissière. [0058] The plate 30 is of substantially rectangular or square shape. It consists of two sheets, fabrics, fabrics or the like respectively front and rear sewn to each other along their peripheral edge to form between them a closed pocket intended to receive one or more protective plates, in particular one or more. ceramic plates, one or more ply blocks of thermoplastic material, in particular polyethylene or aramid or a combination of plates and blocks of this kind. This pocket is closed along the lower edge of the plate by a so-called zipper 34.
[0059] Deux boucles à embouts mâles 31 gauche et droite, destinées à coopérer avec l’un des couples de boucles à embouts femelles 13 ou 14 respectivement issues du haut de la région 2 avant ou de la région 7 arrière, sont fixées au niveau du bord supérieur de la platine 30. Two loops with male ends 31 left and right, intended to cooperate with one of the pairs of buckles with female ends 13 or 14 respectively from the top of the front region 2 or of the rear region 7, are fixed at the level from the upper edge of the plate 30.
[0060] Un élément 32 formant rabat inférieur est issu de la partie inférieure, notamment du bord inférieur de la platine 30, et est destiné à être rabattu à l'intérieur, entre le corps de l’utilisateur et la partie 1 avant, respectivement la partie 6 arrière. En outre cet élément rabat 32 a les fonctions supplémentaires d’une part de bien positionner et centrer la platine par rapport à la partie 1 avant ou 6 arrière à laquelle elle est fixée et d’autre part d’empêcher des plaques se trouvant dans la poche de tomber dans le cas où la fermeture à glissière 34 venait à être défectueuse. An element 32 forming a lower flap comes from the lower part, in particular from the lower edge of the plate 30, and is intended to be folded inside, between the body of the user and the front part 1, respectively the rear part 6. In addition, this flap element 32 has the additional functions on the one hand of correctly positioning and centering the plate with respect to the front or rear part 1 or 6 to which it is fixed and, on the other hand, of preventing plates located in the plate. pocket from falling out in the event that the zipper 34 becomes defective.
[0061 ] Sur la face arrière de la feuille arrière, c’est-à-dire la face destinée à être en contact avec la partie 1 avant ou la partie 6 arrière, s’étendent des champs de boucles correspondant aux champs 16, 18, 19, 20 de crochets de la région 2 avant ou de la région 7 arrière pour la fixation amovible de la platine 30. On the rear face of the rear sheet, that is to say the face intended to be in contact with the front part 1 or the rear part 6, extend fields of loops corresponding to the fields 16, 18 , 19, 20 of hooks of the front region 2 or of the rear region 7 for the removable fixing of the plate 30.
[0062] Sur la face avant de la feuille avant, s’étendent des champs de crochets en forme de bandelettes 35 parallèles dans la direction horizontale destinées à coopérer avec des boucles issues d’accessoires en vue de leur fixation. En outre, les bandelettes 35 ne sont fixées à la feuille avant que suivant des lignes verticales (par exemple par couture) de manière à définir entre chaque ligne verticale des zones où les bandelettes 35 peuvent être éloignées de la face avant de la feuille avant pour permettre l’accrochage d’accessoires. On the front face of the front sheet, extend fields of hooks in the form of parallel strips 35 in the horizontal direction intended to cooperate with loops from accessories for their attachment. In addition, the strips 35 are only attached to the front sheet along vertical lines (for example by stitching) so as to define between each vertical line of areas where the strips 35 can be moved away from the front face of the front sheet to allow attachment of accessories.
[0063] A la figure 6, il est représenté un gilet de base auquel ont été fixées, de manière amovible, deux platines 30 du deuxième type, pour ainsi former un gilet pare-balles. In Figure 6, there is shown a basic vest to which have been fixed, removably, two plates 30 of the second type, to thus form a bulletproof vest.
[0064] A la figure 7, il est représenté un gilet de base auquel ont été fixées, à la place des platines 30 de la figure 6, deux platines 40, dite du premier type. In Figure 7, there is shown a basic vest to which have been fixed, instead of the plates 30 of Figure 6, two plates 40, called the first type.
[0065] Chaque platine 40 est formée d’une seule feuille, tissu, étoffe ou analogue. Sur sa face arrière, elle comporte les mêmes champs de boucles que ceux prévus sur la face arrière de la feuille arrière de la platine 30 du deuxième type pour la fixation amovible de la platine par coopération avec les champs 16, 18, 19 et 20 de crochets issus des régions 2 avant et 7 arrière. Each plate 40 is formed of a single sheet, fabric, fabric or the like. On its rear face, it has the same loop fields as those provided on the rear face of the rear sheet of the plate 30 of the second type for the removable fixing of the plate by cooperation with the fields 16, 18, 19 and 20 of hooks from regions 2 front and 7 back.
[0066] Ainsi, de préférence, la face arrière de la platine 30 du premier type est identique à la face arrière de la platine 40 du deuxième type. En revanche, la platine 40 étant constituée d'une seule feuille, tissu, étoffe ou analogue, elle ne comporte pas en son sein de poche de réception. Thus, preferably, the rear face of the plate 30 of the first type is identical to the rear face of the plate 40 of the second type. On the other hand, the plate 40 being made of a single sheet, fabric, fabric or the like, it does not include a receiving pocket within it.
[0067] Sur la face avant de la platine 40, on peut prévoir, comme sur la face avant de la feuille avant de la platine 30, des champs de crochets en forme de bandelettes 35 parallèles dans la direction horizontale destinées à coopérer avec des boucles issues d’accessoires en vue de leur fixation. En outre, les bandelettes 35 ne sont fixées à la feuille avant que suivant des lignes verticales (par exemple par couture) de manière à définir entre les lignes verticales des zones où les bandelettes 35 peuvent être éloignées de la face avant de la feuille avant pour permettre l’accrochage d’accessoires. On the front face of the plate 40, one can provide, as on the front face of the front sheet of the plate 30, hook fields in the form of strips 35 parallel in the horizontal direction intended to cooperate with loops from accessories for their attachment. Further, the strips 35 are only attached to the front sheet along vertical lines (eg by stitching) so as to define between the vertical lines areas where the strips 35 can be moved away from the front face of the front sheet to allow the attachment of accessories.
[0068] Cependant, on peut également prévoir un agencement différent de cette face avant pour améliorer la fonction d’accrochage/fixation d’accessoires, sachant que cette platine 40 est destinée à former avec le gilet de base, un gilet non pas pare- balle mais une chasuble tactique. En outre prévoir deux agencements différents de la face avant suivant qu’il s’agit d’une platine 30 du deuxième type ou d’une platine 40 du premier type permet, sur un simple coup d’œil, de les différencier. However, one can also provide a different arrangement of this front face to improve the attachment / attachment function of accessories, knowing that this plate 40 is intended to form with the basic vest, a non-protective vest. ball but a tactical chasuble. In addition, providing two different arrangements of the front face depending on whether it is a plate 30 of the second type or a plate 40 of the first type allows, at a glance, to differentiate them.
[0069] Un même élément 32 formant rabat inférieur est issu de la partie inférieure, notamment du bord inférieur de la platine 40, et est destiné à être rabattu à l'intérieur, entre le corps de l’utilisateur et la partie 1 avant, respectivement la partie 6 arrière. En outre cet élément rabat 32 a les fonctions supplémentaires de bien positionner et centrer la platine par rapport à la partie 1 avant ou 6 arrière à laquelle elle est fixée. The same element 32 forming a lower flap comes from the lower part, in particular from the lower edge of the plate 40, and is intended to be folded inside, between the user's body and the front part 1, respectively the part 6 rear. In addition, this flap element 32 has the additional functions of correctly positioning and centering the plate relative to the front or rear part 1 or 6 to which it is fixed.
[0070] A la figure 7, il est ainsi représenté une chasuble tactique comportant un gilet de base et deux platines 40 du premier type fixées de manière amovible, respectivement à la région 2 avant et à la région 7 arrière du gilet de base. In Figure 7, there is thus shown a tactical chasuble comprising a base vest and two plates 40 of the first type removably attached, respectively to the front region 2 and to the rear region 7 of the basic vest.
[0071 ] Les différentes platines 30 et 40 peuvent être détachées du gilet de base sans que le porteur ait besoin de retirer le gilet de base, et notamment le gilet de base, à l’état porté, est de forme et structure identique, avec et sans la platine ou les platines, et en particulier conserve sa forme comportant les deux parties avant et arrière reliées entre elles au niveau des épaules et de la taille. The various plates 30 and 40 can be detached from the basic vest without the wearer having to remove the basic vest, and in particular the basic vest, in the worn state, is of identical shape and structure, with and without the plate or the plates, and in particular retains its shape comprising the two front and rear parts connected to each other at the level of the shoulders and the waist.
[0072] De même, les différentes platines 30 et 40 peuvent être fixées au gilet de base sans que le porteur ait besoin ni de retirer le gilet de base, ni même d’en modifier sa structure et/ou sa forme à l’état porté. Likewise, the different plates 30 and 40 can be attached to the basic vest without the wearer needing to remove the basic vest, or even to modify its structure and / or its shape as it is. door.
[0073] Le porteur du gilet passe ainsi très facilement et très rapidement d’une configuration à une autre. En particulier pour ce faire, il agit toujours par des mouvements ou déplacements des mains uniquement à l’extérieur du gilet de base. [0073] The wearer of the vest thus switches very easily and very quickly from one configuration to another. In particular to do this, it always acts by movements or movements of the hands only outside the base vest.
[0074] D’autre part, on peut également prévoir de rajouter au gilet de base deux éléments de protection d’épaule gauche et droite amovibles, tels que représentés aux figures 4 à 9. Chaque élément de protection d’épaule peut notamment être réalisé comme décrit dans la demande de brevet EP-A-3195743 au nom de la demanderesse en comportant une plaque de base ou renfort 50 en un matériau souple adapté pour épouser la forme de l’épaule et/ou de la partie supérieure du bras et des coques 51 , notamment trois coques, recouvrant le renfort et fixées de manière articulée au renfort, de préférence indépendamment les unes des autres de manière à se chevaucher partiellement. On the other hand, one can also provide to add to the basic vest two removable left and right shoulder protection elements, as shown in Figures 4 to 9. Each shoulder protection element can in particular be produced as described in patent application EP-A-3195743 in the name of the applicant, comprising a base plate or reinforcement 50 in a flexible material suitable for conforming to the shape of the shoulder and / or the upper part of the arm and shells 51, in particular three shells, covering the reinforcement and fixed in an articulated manner to the reinforcement, preferably independently of one another so as to partially overlap.
[0075] La fixation de chaque élément d'épaule au gilet de base se fait par un élément 52 de liaison respectif comportant une languette supérieure 58 et deux pattes 59 inférieures de forme allongée faisant saillie du renfort 50. La face supérieure ou extérieure de la languette 58 supérieure est recouverte d’un élément à boucles ou velours et sa face inférieure ou intérieure est recouverte d’un élément à crochets, tandis que les faces extérieures ou supérieures des pattes 59 inférieures sont recouvertes d’un élément à crochets et les faces intérieures ou inférieures des pattes 59 sont recouvertes d’un élément à boucles ou velours. Pour fixer un élément d’épaule à la partie 7 arrière, on intercale la languette 12B de la partie d’épaule 11 entre la languette 58 et les pattes 59, puis on rabat les pattes 59 sur la languette 58 en enserrant la languette 12B, les crochets sur la face supérieure des pattes 59 venant s’accrocher aux boucles du velours recouvrant la face supérieure de la languette 58. En outre les crochets de la face inférieure de la languette 58 coopèrent avec un velours recouvrant la partie supérieure de la face extérieure de la languette 12B de la partie d’épaule 11. Les boucles du velours recouvrant la face supérieure de la languette 58 coopèrent avec les crochets recouvrant la face intérieure de la partie d’épaule 10 respective de la partie 1 avant. The attachment of each shoulder element to the base vest is effected by a respective connecting element 52 comprising an upper tongue 58 and two lower tabs 59 of elongated shape projecting from the reinforcement 50. The upper or outer face of the upper tongue 58 is covered with a loop or velor element and its lower or inner face is covered with a hook element, while the outer or upper faces of the lower tabs 59 are covered with a hook element and the inner or lower faces of the legs 59 are covered with a loop or velvet element. To fix a shoulder element to the rear part 7, the tongue 12B of the shoulder part 11 is interposed between the tongue 58 and the tabs 59, then the tabs 59 are folded over the tab 58 by gripping the tab 12B, the hooks on the upper face of the tabs 59 coming to cling to the loops of the velor covering the upper face of the tongue 58. In addition, the hooks of the lower face of the tongue 58 cooperate with a velor covering the upper part of the outer face of the tongue 12B of the shoulder portion 11. The velor loops covering the upper face of the tongue 58 cooperate with the hooks covering the inner face of the respective shoulder portion 10 of the front portion 1.
[0076] D’autre part, à l’autre extrémité, inférieure, les éléments d’épaule comportent chacun deux sangles fixées au renfort 50 et comportant chacune des boutons pression ou analogue pour un maintien de l’élément d’épaule autour du bras dans la partie basse de l’élément d’épaule. On the other hand, at the other end, lower, the shoulder elements each comprise two straps fixed to the reinforcement 50 and each comprising press studs or the like for maintaining the shoulder element around the arm. in the lower part of the shoulder element.
[0077] Ainsi, en fonction des besoins de l'utilisateur, ce dernier peut adjoindre à son gilet de base formé des parties 1 avant et 6 arrière, au choix, une platine 30 de type à plaques ou une platine 40 de type à intervention tactique, ainsi qu’éventuellement des éléments d’épaule. Il n'a ainsi plus besoin de conserver deux gilets à portée immédiate et n'a besoin de n’en conserver qu'un seul gilet et, par exemple, deux couples de deux platines des premier et deuxième types et un couple d’éléments d’épaule, qu'il positionne sur le gilet en fonction de ses besoins du moment, pour ainsi avoir à disposition plusieurs types de gilet. En outre, il lui est ainsi beaucoup plus rapide de changer de type de protection. En outre, on peut faire en sorte que toutes les platines 30 et 40 soient toutes de la même taille, alors que les gilets seront de tailles différentes, ce qui permet de pouvoir les stocker au même endroit pour toutes les personnes d'une même compagnie par exemple, ce qui permet encore un gain de place supplémentaire.; Thus, depending on the needs of the user, the latter can add to his basic vest formed of the front and 6 rear parts, as desired, a plate 30 of the plate type or a plate 40 of the intervention type. tactical, as well as possibly shoulder elements. He thus no longer needs to keep two vests within immediate reach and does not need to keep only one vest and, for example, two couples of two plates of the first and second types and a couple of elements. shoulder strap, which he positions on the vest according to his current needs, in order to have several types of vest available. In addition, it is much faster for him to change the type of protection. In addition, we can ensure that all the plates 30 and 40 are all the same size, while the vests will be of different sizes, which allows to be able to store them in the same place for all the people of the same company. for example, which still allows additional space saving .;
