Abstract

The jointed panel comprises plates (3) assembled one to another and these plates (3) are of circular form. They are assembled in fives fitting the nipples (2) in the holes (1). Preferably the holes (1) necessary to assemble the plates (3) are of oblong form and are disposed perpendicularly to the radius of the plates (3). The nipples (2) are preferably situated on the rear face of plates (3) and when the nipples (2) and holes (1) are assembled the assembly is not visible on the front face of the panel. USE - Different articles such as garments, bags, protective aprons, curtains and carpets.

Description

 The prante invention relates in particular to an articulated panel for the production of various articles such as, for example, clothing, bags, protective aprons, curtains, carpets, as well as the articles obtained by said panel.

 There is already known an articulated panel intended to manufacture clothing such as protective aprons. This panel consists of perforated plates, generally metallic, assembled to each other by junction rings, generally welded, engaged in the holes of the neighboring plates. This type of panel has several disadvantages.

 It soils and damages the user's clothing. When a ring or several rings, or one or more of the pads are damaged, or even broken, the user must necessarily call a specialist to ensure repair.

 The production of such a panel requires complex and expensive tools. This panel has many holes necessary for joining the plates using rings, which can be troublesome in certain applications.

 We know a chain mail type fabric, consisting of metal rings assembled to each other. This system has the same drawbacks as the previous system.

 A panel is known, generally made of plastic, consisting of flat plates of hexagonal shape, interconnected by a system of pins engaging in holes. This panel has the disadvantage of damaging clothing due to the acute angles of the pads. The holes necessary for assembling the plates are partly visible, which can present a drawback in certain applications. This system lacks flexibility.

 The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing an articulated panel characterized in that the plates (3), made of a material such as plastic, for example, are of circular shape, and assembled together by a system of holes (1) of oblong shape and nipples (2), arranged so that no hole is visible on the front face of the panel.

Figure 1 shows in elevation a single plate. FIG. 2 represents a profile view of several plates assembled together. Figure 3 shows in elevation plualeura plates assembled to each other1 the panel thus formed being seen on its front face.

 The circular shape of the plates (3) makes it possible to orient the junction holes (1) perpendicularly to the radius of the plates (3) which allows the said plates, once assembled together, to turn slightly on themselves, thus conferring greater flexibility to the panel. The plates (3) being circular, they do not have sharp angles and do not damage the clothes during an application such as protective aprons, for example.

 The type of assembly used does not require any particular tool, it allows a neophyte to easily assemble such a panel, or to change one or more plates which would be damaged.

 Such a panel can be made of any material such as, for example, plastics, metals, wood, composite materials.

 For aesthetic or technical reasons, during certain applications, such as protective clothing or aprons, for example, the circular shape of all or part of the pads (3} may be slightly modified in order to obtain a different aesthetic effect. , or a higher protection. This articulated panel allows to realize clothes, bags, protective aprons, curtains, carpets and other articles. An important application of this panel is the realization of an apron of protection against knives or other knocks sharp or perforating tools, often used in the food industries, for example. Made of a food-grade material, resistant to puncture, such an apron benefits from all the advantages of the present invention. , ease of assembly and repair. For such use, in order to obtain better resistance to puncture, the pads your (3) may have an extra thickness (4) on the part where there is no overlap by the neighboring plates.

 The thickness of the plates (3) can be increased on both sides, or hien on one or the other of the faces of the plate.

 FIG. 4 represents a side view of a plate whose thickness has been increased where there is no overlap by the neighboring plates.

 FIG. 5 represents an elevation view of the plate shown in FIG. 4.

 FIG. 6 represents several plates identical to those represented in FIG. 4 and in FIG. 5 assembled together so as to form an articulated panel whose thickness is more or less constant. The panel is seen on its back side.

 Such a system makes it possible to obtain a protective apron of more regular thickness, thus guaranteeing an almost equal puncture resistance over its entire surface.

 In order to be practically used, this deck is provided with practical elements such as fasteners, suspenders, belts.

 Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments cited above, from which we can provide other modes and other embodiments, without departing from the scope of the invention.
