Description
DISPOSITIF AMORTISSEUR DE CHOC. NOTAMMENT PROTECTEUR DE HANCHE
La présente invention est relative à des perfectionnements a > Dortés aux dispositifs amortisseurs de chocs. notamment protecteur de hanche. ou autres applications de protection.SHOCK ABSORBER DEVICE. ESPECIALLY HIP PROTECTOR
The present invention relates to improvements a> dormant to shock absorbing devices. including hip protector. or other protective applications.
I1 convient. avant d'aborder les dispositions principales de l'invention de rappeler les difficultés rencontrées à l'occasion du port de tels dispositifs par les usagers. He agrees. before approaching the main provisions of the invention to recall the difficulties encountered when users wear such devices.
De nombreux dispositifs du genre en question sont en soi connus soit à usage sportif ( protège tibia ) soit à usage médical contre la prévention des chutes en particulier chez les personnes agées.Many devices of the kind in question are known per se either for sports use (shin protector) or for medical use against preventing falls, in particular in the elderly.
On peut citer l'étude effectuée aux- U.S.A. par Mrs Jeffrey
C.Huston. PhD ; Michael S. Sellberg, MS ; Carolyn Kundel. PhD;
Elizabeth Callan, MS , qui démontre l'intérêt du port d'un dispositif protecteur pour personnes àgées. I1 s'agit dans tous les cas d'un matelas antichoc. constitué de plusieurs strates de
Matériaux absorbeurs de choc comme des feutres, des mousses élastiques, des plaques d'élastomère etc....We can cite the study carried out in the USA by Mrs Jeffrey
C. Huston. PhD; Michael S. Sellberg, MS; Carolyn Kundel. PhD;
Elizabeth Callan, MS, who demonstrates the value of wearing a protective device for the elderly. In all cases, this is an impact-resistant mattress. consisting of several strata of
Shock absorbing materials such as felts, elastic foams, elastomer plates, etc.
le dispositif coopère avec des moyens de fixation pour l'immobiliser & hauteur de hanche pour protéger principalement le col du fémur, Grace au port de prévention, on constate un effet de protection non négligeable réduisant le nombre des fractures causées par des chutes.the device cooperates with fixing means to immobilize it & hip height to protect mainly the neck of the femur, Thanks to the prevention port, there is a significant protective effect reducing the number of fractures caused by falls.
On constate cependant gue les matelas de protection multicouches ne possèdent pas un degré de protection suffisant en raison de l'amortissement incomplet de l'onde de choc lors d'une chute.However, it can be seen that the multilayer protective mattresses do not have a sufficient degree of protection due to the incomplete damping of the shock wave during a fall.
Par ailleurs la fabrication de matelas multicouches est relativement longue et complexe et ne permet pas de maitriser dans la pratique un réglage de i'énereie â absorber. Dar exemple en fonction du poids du porteur
La présente invention a en conséquenses pour but de fournir un dispositif amortisseur de choc d'un nouveau type dont l'architecture assure un haut degré de protection par sa capacité à absorber plus comDlètement l'énergie de choc provoguée par une chute et à mieux la répartir. spécialement mais non exclusivement celle qui affecte le col du fémur.Furthermore, the manufacture of multilayer mattresses is relatively long and complex and does not make it possible in practice to control an adjustment of the energy to be absorbed. According to the weight of the wearer
The present invention therefore aims to provide a shock absorber device of a new type whose architecture provides a high degree of protection by its ability to more fully absorb the impact energy caused by a fall and better divide. especially but not exclusively that which affects the neck of the femur.
L'invention a également pour but de fournir un dispositif protecteur de fabrication plus simple et moins honéreux gui autorise la maitrise du taux d'amortissement aux chocs.The invention also aims to provide a simpler and less expensive manufacturing protective device which allows control of the shock absorption rate.
L'invention concerne à cet effet un dispositif amortisseur de chocs. notamment protecteur de hanche. caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'une enveloppe déformable étanche apte A recevoir un fluide, tel un gaz neutre, un gel, introduit dans l'enveloppe & une pression variable. cette enveloppe étant conformée pour présenter.The invention relates to this effect a shock absorbing device. including hip protector. characterized in that it consists of a deformable sealed envelope capable of receiving a fluid, such as a neutral gas, a gel, introduced into the envelope & a variable pressure. this envelope being shaped to present.
& l'état de contact avec la zone à protéger une face de contact sensiblement concave épousant par déformation le profil complexe de la dite zone et une face extérieure. sensiblement convexe. libre de toute aspérité. l'espace entre les deux parois ayant une section en forme de croissant au moins dans sa coupe transversale. & the state of contact with the zone to be protected a substantially concave contact face conforming by deformation to the complex profile of said zone and an external face. substantially convex. free from any roughness. the space between the two walls having a crescent-shaped section at least in its cross section.
Grace å cette disposition on dispose d'un amortisseur à fluide. par exemple un gaz neutre ou un gel, ce qui permet à volonté d'adapter et d'optimiser la quantité d'énergie à absorber en cas de chute en fonction du poids et de la morphologie du porteur.Thanks to this arrangement, a fluid damper is available. for example a neutral gas or a gel, which allows at will to adapt and optimize the amount of energy to be absorbed in the event of a fall depending on the weight and the morphology of the wearer.
D'autres caractéristigues et avantages apparaitront encore à la lecture de la description détaillée gui suit. d'un mode de réalisation. donné ici à titre d'exemple et représenté sur les dessins joints dans lesquels:
La figure 1 est une vue montrant l'ensemble u disDositifr vu du coté face concave en contact avec le corps. ce dispositif étant représenté ici à titre d'exemple avec une forme écliptique. Other characteristics and advantages will become apparent on reading the detailed description which follows. of an embodiment. given here by way of example and shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a view showing the assembly u disDositifr seen from the side concave face in contact with the body. this device being shown here by way of example with an ecliptic shape.
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe du dispositif représentant l'enveloppe déformable. creuse avec sa paroi concave constituée de nervures trapézoïdales pour donner plus de souplesse au dispositif.Figure 2 is a sectional view of the device showing the deformable envelope. hollow with its concave wall made up of trapezoidal ribs to give more flexibility to the device.
et sa paroi convexe extérieure au corps. l'espace entre les deux parois étant en forme de croissant.and its convex wall outside the body. the space between the two walls being crescent-shaped.
La figure 3 est une vue partielle de la paroi concave constituée d'une variante de rainures avec profil en ondulations.Figure 3 is a partial view of the concave wall consisting of a variant of grooves with undulating profile.
Conformément à l'invention. le dispositif. comme il est montré dans les dessins annexé. est constitué d'une enveloppe déformable étanche (1) réalisée å partir d'un matériau souple moulé. ou assemblé par soudure ou collage par exemple à sa périphérie (2). According to the invention. the device. as shown in the accompanying drawings. consists of a deformable waterproof envelope (1) made from a flexible molded material. or assembled by welding or gluing, for example at its periphery (2).
comprenant une paroi nervurée (3) en contact avec le corps, et une paroi (4) externe.comprising a ribbed wall (3) in contact with the body, and an external wall (4).
L'enveloppe a une section creuse (6) en forme de croissant, permettant d'obtenir ainsi une faible épaisseur du dispositif à sa périphérie (2) pour ne pas occasionner de gêne au porteur ni provoquer de bourrelet disgracieux. tout en permettant de conserver dans sa partie centrale (5) une épaisseur plus importante définie pour permettre l'absortion d'un choc dû notamment à la chûte du porteur. la partie creuse (6). étanche, pleine de gaz neutre tel gue l'air ou de gélatine ou autre fluide. permet au moment du choc une répartition de la force correspondante sur l'ensemble des parois de l'enveloppe et de ce fait il s'ensuit que la totalité de la paroi t3i en contact avec le corps répartit cette force de facon uniforme sans surcharge ponctuelle évItant ainsi les rupture d'éléments osseux. The envelope has a hollow section (6) in the shape of a crescent, thus making it possible to obtain a small thickness of the device at its periphery (2) so as not to cause discomfort to the wearer or cause unsightly bulges. while allowing to keep in its central part (5) a greater thickness defined to allow the absorption of a shock due in particular to the fall of the wearer. the hollow part (6). waterproof, full of neutral gas such as air or gelatin or other fluid. allows the moment of shock to distribute the corresponding force over all the walls of the envelope and therefore it follows that the entire wall t3i in contact with the body distributes this force uniformly without punctual overload thus avoiding the rupture of bone elements.
Les rainures (7 réalises sur la paroi concave (3i du dispositif permettent une meilleure adaptation de cette paroi concave (3) avec la forme du corps â l'endroit ou se trouve placé le dispositif.The grooves (7 made on the concave wall (3i of the device allow a better adaptation of this concave wall (3) with the shape of the body at the place where the device is placed.
tant dans l'axe X gue dans l'axe Y. la matière souple autorisant une déformation du profil de ces rainures (7), même localement.both in the X axis and in the Y axis. the flexible material allowing deformation of the profile of these grooves (7), even locally.
sans pour autant nuire à l'efficacité du dispositif.without compromising the efficiency of the device.
Il est à noter également que ces rainures (7) tout en permettant de répartir l'effort de choc limitent les effets d'échauffement avec le corps. les parties non en contact direct avec le corps permettant la respiration de l'épiderme.It should also be noted that these grooves (7) while allowing the impact force to be distributed limit the effects of heating with the body. the parts not in direct contact with the body allowing the breathing of the epidermis.
Les rainures (7) peuvent avoir une section trapézoïdale (8) ou ondulée (9) de plus ou moins grande importance suivant la complexité de la forme du corps à épouser et l'importance du choc å amortir.The grooves (7) may have a trapezoidal (8) or wavy (9) section of greater or lesser importance depending on the complexity of the shape of the body to be married and the importance of the shock to be absorbed.
Les rainures (7) peuvent être débouchantes ou non & la périphérie (2) de l'enveloppe déformable suivant le mode de fabrication retenu et la déformabilité de l'enveloppe souple à obtenir pour s'adapter à la forme et aux mouvements du corps. The grooves (7) may or may not open out & the periphery (2) of the deformable envelope depending on the manufacturing method used and the deformability of the flexible envelope to be obtained to adapt to the shape and movements of the body.
