Abstract

The present invention relates to a packaging kit 30 of small volume comprising loops 34 integral with a face 31 regularly distributed and eyelets 33 on the opposite face 32. These loops are linked to each other 60, 61 and the last buckle 70 is locked by a locking pin 74. The invention also provides the method for coiling the isothermal garment in this kit. Advantage: clothing that can be used directly with elimination of the endothermic effect when the kit is extracted. Application: assembly, rescue, air, land, sea survival.

Description

1. The present invention relates to a method and a

  device for conditioning an isothermal garment.

  Isothermal clothing is known to be more

  firstly called "down jacket". These clothes generally jackets are made of a sheet of fabric of synthetic material of very small thickness allowing air to pass, a layer of insulating material and heat reflector of the artificial fibers type or better still a layer of natural down, a sheet of synthetic fabric permitting air and water molecules but impermeable to water in the form of drops, this effect being obtained by deposition of a hydrophobic polymeric web. The quilting effect is obtained by stitching

  through which isolate volumes of reduced dimensions.

  This has a twofold advantage first and foremost that of a better

  their distribution of the insulating material and then avoid in case 2.

  of tearing to lose all of the insulating material.

  The operation of the insulating material is in fact

  due to the imprisonment of a layer of air

  created by the down and it is this, layer of air which is iso-

  lante. Down also has the advantage of having a very low density and an elastic nature which ensures a

good, swelling.

  This type of clothing has all the advantages of

  thermal point of view, but it implies a significant disadvantage

  as a corollary of its qualities: its volume is important.

  We understand that this inconvenience becomes a problem when the place is counted as in the bag of mountain climbers, in the first aid kits, in the refuges, on the boats

and planes for example.

  In addition, it is necessary that once folded this

jacket is quickly accessible.

  It has been proposed to place this type of garment in vacuum packs since indeed it is the air which takes

the largest volume.

  Such a method is susceptible of criticism. It is indeed necessary to have a vacuum installation and the method can not be applied anywhere more

cost price.

  During transport there may be snags on the packaging, which is likely given the uses,

and only one hitch is enough.

  The most serious is especially the endothermic effect during use. Indeed, being evacuated, there is

  a very low residual air fraction in the mattress-

  wise. The effect of elastic swelling down is progressive E

  when the user has donned his jacket it is his own

  their which is "pumped" by the swelling of the padding. It is therefore understandable that the insulating effect required from the start is

reversed.

  3. The purpose of the invention is therefore to propose a method of folding an isothermal garment comprising a material

  insulation with a large apparent volume characterized in that it

  is to make a roll by rolling the jacket, the bead being held by temporary tightening ties, to put

  elastic bracelets at intervals according to a

  barit of laying, along the longitudinal axis of the flange, to bend

  this bead to form substantially two concentric rectangles

  maintained in this position by new rubber bands,

  put the bolster thus coiled on the lower inner side

  of the conditioning kit, to pass the conditioning halyards resulting in solidarity loops of the

  through the passages that remain between the

  concentric gales, to fold the upper face and to pass the halyards through the regularly distributed eyelets

  the surface of this upper surface, to pull the quick closing

  of side to constitute a closed volume, by pulling on the halyards to make appear the short loops on the outside of the kit, to pass each halyard in the neighboring loop and to fold in the opposite direction so that

  each loop goes into the neighboring loop, at least two

  keys being locked by a closing pin, to

handle the locking halyards.

  The device for carrying out the method is a packaging kit consisting of two faces joined by a low-height lateral strip provided with a closure

  fast, the lower face being provided with regular loops

  distributed on its surface in which are slid removable packaging halyards, the upper face being provided with eyelets regularly distributed on its surface to the plumb

  loops so that each loop corresponds to an eyelet.

  The folded jacket is immediately usable

  after extraction of the bag which is obtained by withdrawal by trac-

  locking pin, opening the closure

fast, removal of elastics.

  This type of jacket finds a certain application 4.

  in survival kits in cold regions.

  The invention will now be described according to a

  non-exhaustive embodiment in relation to the attached figures which represent: Figure 1: Unfolded garment

  Figure 2: Garment rolled with temporary ties.

  In FIG. 1, an isothermal jacket is shown

  unfolded 1, which distinguishes the hood 2, the collar 3, sleeves 4 'and 4 "and the jacket itself 4.It consists of two sheets of very thin synthetic materials between which

  is usually provided with natural down or other

  fiber insulation (not shown). Stitching 5 are performed to delimit volumes 6 ensuring a good distribution

down.

  In FIG. 2, there is seen a bead 7 made by

  rolling of the jacket in the direction of the arrow 8 indicated

  re 1 that is to say from the hood down.

  Temporary tightening ties 9 ensure the hand

  in the shape of the coil 7. The parallel rod is then

  10, which indicates the position of the bracelets

  fixed clamping elastics 11 as shown in FIG.

  These elastics are in fact positioned at

  of each end of the flange to allow

  be a folding of this double concentric square

  than as shown in Figure 4. Elastic bracelets

  18 keep the jacket in the home position.

  Vee. Conditioning halyards such as 20 are passed through the folds of the coil. In the example shown schematically in FIG. 4, the kit 30 comprises 15 halyards of conditioning regularly distributed more particularly to equidistances.

  from each other and with the edge of the kit.

  30, the bottom face 31 of which is shown bounded by a quick-closing part 310. In FIG.

  placed the upper face 32 provided with 15 eyelets 33 regular-

  spread out to be in line with each halyard which is

  then passed through each eyelet.

  On the enlargement of a portion of FIG. 5, the upper face and the bead have been omitted to show that the conditioning halyards are temporary, they are simply introduced into a loop 34 which itself is sewn into 35 or at least secured to the underside 31

of the kit 30.

  The upper face 32 is also bordered by a

  311 symmetrical snap-fastener at part 310. Kit 6 is closed to form a volume by virtue of the

  rapid closure and folding flaps 36 and 37. Parallel-

  we draw on each halyard so as to make the loop appear through the eyelet and we then pass the halyard of

  the adjacent loop in the first loop so that.

  the adjacent loops are held together with the

  very needless of a knot. The assembly is shown enlarged by the loops 60 and 61. The loop 60 passes through the eyelet 62 and the loop 61 passes through the eyelet

  63 and in the loop 60 which then maintains this loop 60.

  The length of the loop is calculated so that the voltage is

sufficient but possible.

  In FIG. 7 the central loop 70 has been shown

  that is passed in the two adjacent loops 71 and 72.

  The length of the loop 70 is intended to be just beyond

  above the corresponding eyelet 73 so that

  the locking pin 74 can be inserted therein.

  it can be connected to a strap (not shown) secured to the kit so as to facilitate the subsequent traction; 6.

  Similarly, the locking pin can now be

  naked in place by a safety link that breaks easily under the effect of traction but which limits the possibilities of inadvertent disengagement of the spindle. Such a kit can be used to package a jacket weighing 1135 g for adults in a volume of 375 mm in length Width 270 mm Height 60 mm

  for an additional weight of 215 g.

  The present invention is not limited to the examples

  tion, which is just described, it is, on the contrary, susceptible of modifications and variants which

will appear to those skilled in the art.
