Description
La prƩsente invention concerne le domaine des dispositifs antivols, en particulier pour bagages.The present invention relates to the field of anti-theft devices, in particular for luggage.
Dans de nombreuses situations, il peut ĆŖtre utile de sĆ©curiser un bagage pour empĆŖcher qu'il soit ouvert sans autorisation, voire mĆŖme qu'il soit dĆ©placĆ© sans autorisation.In many situations, it can be useful to secure a piece of luggage to prevent it from being opened without authorization or even being moved without authorization.
Un exemple ou une telle sĆ©curisation est utile est celui de la plage. Par exemple, lorsqu'une personne souhaite se baigner, elle doit laisser sur place ses effets personnels qui peuvent avoir de la valeur. Il est possible de placer ces effets dans un sac fermĆ© et verrouillĆ© pour Ć©viter qu'il soit ouvert et fouillĆ©. Cela n'empĆŖche cependant pas qu'il soit emportĆ© alors qu'il se retrouve sans surveillance.An example where such securing is useful is that of the beach. For example, when a person wishes to bathe, they must leave behind their personal effects which may be valuable. It is possible to place these effects in a closed and locked bag to prevent it from being opened and searched. However, this does not prevent him from being carried away when he finds himself unsupervised.
Une autre situation est celle d'un voyageur en transit. AprĆØs sa derniĆØre nuitĆ©e Ć l'hĆ“tel, il peut souhaiter laisser son bagage pour pouvoir se dĆ©placer en ville sans avoir Ć le porter en permanence. Si son bagage peut ĆŖtre fermĆ© (par exemple avec un cadenas), il n'est pas impossible qu'il soit emportĆ©, soit volontairement, soit par mĆ©garde, par exemple dans la bagagerie de l'hĆ“tel.Another situation is that of a traveler in transit. After his last night at the hotel, he may wish to leave his luggage to be able to move around town without having to carry it constantly. If his luggage can be closed (for example with a padlock), it is not impossible that it is carried away, either voluntarily or inadvertently, for example in the luggage room of the hotel.
Les bagages (y compris les sacs fermables) prĆ©sentent donc deux problĆ©matiques. La premiĆØre est d'Ć©viter le vol en empĆŖchant qu'il soit dĆ©placĆ©. La deuxiĆØme est d'Ć©viter l'ouverture de du bagage pour empĆŖcher qu'il soit fouillĆ©.Luggage (including lockable bags) therefore presents two problems. The first is to prevent theft by preventing it from being moved. The second is to prevent the opening of the luggage to prevent it from being searched.
En gĆ©nĆ©ral, les sacs de plage, sacs de sport, sacoches et sacs Ć main etc. sont rarement pourvus de sĆ©curitĆ© antivol. Il existe bien des cadenas pour la bagagerie, mais ils ne protĆØgent que la fermeture du bagage.In general, beach bags, sports bags, satchels and handbags etc. are rarely equipped with anti-theft security. There are many padlocks for luggage storage, but they only protect the closing of the luggage.
En ce qui concerne la sĆ©curitĆ© du bagage en lui-mĆŖme, il existe des chaĆ®nes ou des cĆ¢bles de sĆ©curitĆ© Ć verrou ou Ć clĆ©, mais ils sont imposants, trop voyants et ils ne sĆ©curisent pas la fermeture des sacs ou des bagages.Regarding the security of the luggage itself, there are security chains or cables with lock or key, but they are imposing, too conspicuous and they do not secure the closure of bags or luggage.
Le document
Il existe cependant encore un besoin pour amƩliorer la sƩcurisation des bagages (y compris les cas fermables). La prƩsente invention s'inscrit dans ce contexte.There is however still a need to improve the securing of luggage (including closable cases). The present invention falls within this context.

Les dispositifs selon des modes de rĆ©alisation peuvent Ć©quiper divers types de bagages (sac de plage, sacoche, sacs de sport, sac Ć dos, sac Ć main, etc.). Ils peuvent permettre de sĆ©curiser Ć la fois la fermeture de ces bagages et leur fixation Ć un point fixe tel que par exemple un mobilier urbain ou un point d'ancrage Ć un mur ou un sol ou autre.The devices according to embodiments can equip various types of luggage (beach bag, satchel, sports bags, backpack, handbag, etc.). They can make it possible to secure both the closure of these bags and their attachment to a fixed point such as, for example, street furniture or an anchor point to a wall or floor or the like.
Des dispositifs selon des modes de rĆ©alisation peuvent par exemple permettre de verrouiller une fermeture, telle qu'une fermeture Ć©clair, d'un tel bagage tout en permettant de l'accrocher Ć un poteau ou une barriĆØre par exemple.Devices according to embodiments can for example make it possible to lock a closure, such as a zipper, of such luggage while allowing it to be hung on a post or a barrier for example.
D'une maniĆØre gĆ©nĆ©rale, un dispositif selon des modes de rĆ©alisation comporte au moins deux parties montĆ©es mobiles l'une par rapport Ć l'autre, par exemple au moyen d'une charniĆØre (par exemple une charniĆØre rivetĆ©e). Le dispositif peut ĆŖtre fixĆ© Ć un bagage. Il comporte en outre un mĆ©canisme de liaison des deux parties, permettant de lier entre elles les deux parties du dispositif et d'accueillir un mĆ©canisme de fermeture d'un bagage (tel qu'une fermeture Ć©clair par exemple) pour le maintenir fermĆ©. Le dispositif comporte en outre un mĆ©canisme de verrouillage pour fermer le dispositif et verrouiller entre elles les deux parties. En verrouillant les deux parties entre elles, le mĆ©canisme de verrouillage permet aussi de verrouiller le mĆ©canisme de liaison.In general, a device according to embodiments comprises at least two parts mounted to move relative to each other, for example by means of a hinge (for example a riveted hinge). The device can be attached to luggage. It further comprises a mechanism for linking the two parts, making it possible to link the two parts of the device together and to accommodate a mechanism for closing a piece of luggage (such as a zipper for example) to keep it closed. The device further comprises a locking mechanism for closing the device and locking the two parts together. By locking the two parts together, the locking mechanism also makes it possible to lock the link mechanism.
Dans une configuration ouverte, le dispositif permet d'accueillir Ć la fois le mĆ©canisme de fermeture du bagage et un point fixe auquel on souhaite fixer le bagage. Dans une configuration fermĆ©e, le mĆ©canisme de liaison maintien le mĆ©canisme de fermeture fermĆ© et enferme le point fixe de sorte qu'il n'est pas possible d'ouvrir le bagage ou le sĆ©parer du point fixe.In an open configuration, the device makes it possible to accommodate both the luggage closing mechanism and a fixed point to which it is desired to attach the luggage. In a closed configuration, the link mechanism maintains the closing mechanism closed and encloses the fixed point so that it is not possible to open the luggage or separate it from the fixed point.
Par exemple, le mĆ©canisme de liaison est une tige (par exemple une tige mĆ©tallique), fixĆ©e Ć une premiĆØre partie du dispositif, pouvant s'insĆ©rer dans la glissiĆØre d'une fermeture Ć©clair et venant se loger dans un orifice de la deuxiĆØme partie du dispositif. Par exemple, le mĆ©canisme de verrouillage est une serrure Ć code ou Ć clĆ©.For example, the connecting mechanism is a rod (for example a metal rod), fixed to a first part of the device, which can be inserted into the slide of a zipper and which is housed in an orifice of the second part of the device. For example, the locking mechanism is a code or key lock.
Avantageusement, en une manipulation, la fermeture du mĆ©canisme de verrouillage, c'est tout le dispositif qui sĆ©curise le bagage Ć la fois en fermant le cas ou bagage et en le fixant de maniĆØres sĆ©curisĆ©es.Advantageously, in one manipulation, the closing of the locking mechanism is the whole device which secures the luggage both by closing the case or luggage and by fixing it in secure ways.

La premiĆØre boucle du huit dĆ©finie par la partie comprenant le mĆ©canisme de liaison 2 et le mĆ©canisme de fermeture 4 permet de lier, voire de fixer, le dispositif Ć un bagage que l'on souhaite sĆ©curiser, par exemple au moyen d'un Ć©lĆ©ment de liaison. La deuxiĆØme boucle du huit dĆ©finie par la partie comprenant le mĆ©canisme de fermeture 4 et le mĆ©canisme de verrouillage 6 permet de fixer le dispositif Ć un point fixe en encerclant et enfermant ce point fixe dans la boucle.The first loop of the eight defined by the part comprising the
Selon la rĆ©alisation illustrĆ©e, la premiĆØre boucle du huit est de plus petites dimensions que la deuxiĆØme boucle. La deuxiĆØme boucle a par exemple des dimensions permettant d'encercler des points fixes dans suffisamment de situations pour permettre un usage polyvalent (par exemple en permettant d'encercler des pieds ou des poteaux de mobilier urbain ou autre). D'autres rapports de dimensions sont possibles. Le mĆ©canisme de fermeture 4 peut accueillir la fermeture du bagage que l'on souhaite sĆ©curiser. Par exemple, la tige 3 peut ĆŖtre passĆ©e dans les orifices des tirettes (ou languettes) de la fermeture Ć©clair du bagage. Les boucles peuvent avoir une forme circulaire. Elles peuvent aussi avoir d'autres formes, par exemple elliptique. Par exemple encore, les boucles peuvent avoir des formes triangulaires, rectangulaires ou autre.According to the embodiment illustrated, the first loop of the eight is of smaller dimensions than the second loop. The second loop has for example dimensions making it possible to encircle fixed points in sufficient situations to allow versatile use (for example by making it possible to encircle feet or posts of street furniture or the like). Other dimensional ratios are possible. The
Selon des modes de rĆ©alisation le matĆ©riau dans lequel est sont formĆ©es les parties A et B est suffisamment rĆ©sistant pour un usage antivol, c'est-Ć -dire qu'il peut rĆ©sister Ć des tentatives de sciage ou de coupe quelconque, selon le degrĆ© de sĆ©curitĆ© souhaitĆ© et les normes antivol Ć respecter. Les matĆ©riaux peuvent ĆŖtre totalement rigides. Il est aussi possible d'envisager des matĆ©riaux flexibles. Ainsi, il est possible de faciliter l'accrochage Ć des points fixes par exemple. Cela peut aussi permettre de faciliter le rangement du dispositif. Selon des modes de rĆ©alisation, il est possible de rĆ©aliser les parties A et B sous forme de chaĆ®nes de maillons en matĆ©riau suffisamment rĆ©sistant pour l'usage antivol envisagĆ©.According to embodiments, the material in which parts A and B are formed is sufficiently resistant for anti-theft use, that is to say it can withstand attempts at sawing or any cutting, depending on the degree desired security and the anti-theft standards to be complied with. Materials can be totally rigid. It is also possible to envisage flexible materials. Thus, it is possible to facilitate the attachment to fixed points for example. This can also make it easier to store the device. According to embodiments, it is possible to produce the parts A and B in the form of chains of links in a material that is sufficiently resistant for the anti-theft use envisaged.
Selon des modes de rƩalisation, les parties A et B sont recouvertes d'un matƩriau permettant un habillage (couleurs, motifs, ou autre).According to embodiments, parts A and B are covered with a material allowing dressing (colors, patterns, or other).
