Abstract

The swimsuit is made in one piece, extending from the crutch to the shoulders, and incorporates floats to keep the child's head and shoulders above the surface of the water. The floats are made from a closed cell polymer or reticulated copolymer foam that has a density of about 26 kg/cu m and withstands temperatures of -70 to +80 deg C.

Description

15 Maillot de bain de sécurité pour enfant.15 Child safety swimsuit.

La présente invention concerne un maillot de bain de sécurité pour enfant du type à une seule pièce, s'étendant depuis au moins l'entrejambe jusqu'aux épaules et comportant des 20 éléments de flottabilité intégrés destinés à maintenir l'enfant hors de l'eau à partir des épaules, ces éléments de flottabilité étant constitués par deux flotteurs entourant  The present invention relates to a one-piece type child safety swimsuit, extending from at least the crotch to the shoulders and having integrated buoyancy elements intended to keep the child out of the water from the shoulders, these buoyancy elements being constituted by two floats surrounding

respectivement l'articulation de chaque épaule.  respectively the joint of each shoulder.

Un tel maillot de bain est décrit dans le brevet FR-B-2 695 010. Les flotteurs sont, de préférence, constitués d'un pain de mousse se présentant sous forme d'un parallélépipède rectangle droit. La mousse utilisée est constituée de polyéthylène à cellules réticulées ayant les caractéristiques 30 suivantes: densité 30kg/M3, résistance à la traction 0,26  Such a swimsuit is described in patent FR-B-2 695 010. The floats are preferably made of a foam bar in the form of a right rectangular parallelepiped. The foam used consists of crosslinked cell polyethylene having the following characteristics: density 30 kg / M3, tensile strength 0.26

N/mm2 et allongement à la rupture de 130%.  N / mm2 and elongation at break of 130%.

Cependant, on a pu remarquer que cette mousse présente de nombreux inconvénients dans le cadre d'un maillot de bain de sécurité pour enfant. En effet, l'utilisation de ce type de mousse a pu révéler, qu'après utilisation en piscine, la 5 mousse perd en partie ses propriétés. On a supposé alors que les produits utilisés dans les piscines pour maintenir l'eau saine ont joué un rôle dans la perte d'efficacité de cette mousse. Afin de pallier cet inconvénient, la présente invention a pour but de proposer un maillot de bain tel que décrit précédemment dans lequel la mousse utilisée pour constituer les flotteurs présente de très bonnes propriétés malgré  However, it has been noted that this foam has many disadvantages in the context of a child safety swimsuit. In fact, the use of this type of foam has been able to reveal that, after use in a swimming pool, the foam partially loses its properties. It was then assumed that the products used in swimming pools to maintain healthy water played a role in the loss of effectiveness of this foam. In order to overcome this drawback, the present invention aims to provide a swimsuit as described above in which the foam used to form the floats has very good properties despite

l'utilisation en piscine.use in swimming pools.

Ainsi, l'invention a pour objet un maillot de bain de sécurité pour enfant du type à une seule pièce, s'étendant depuis au moins l'entrejambe jusqu'aux épaules et comportant des éléments de flottabilité intégrés destinés à maintenir 20 l'enfant hors de l'eau à partir des épaules, ces éléments de flottabilité étant constitués par deux flotteurs en mousse polymère entourant respectivement l'articulation de chaque épaule, caractérisé en ce que la mousse polymère est constituée par une mousse polymère à cellules fermées. 25  Thus, the subject of the invention is a safety swimsuit for children of the one-piece type, extending from at least the crotch to the shoulders and comprising integrated buoyancy elements intended to hold the child. out of the water from the shoulders, these buoyancy elements being constituted by two polymer foam floats respectively surrounding the articulation of each shoulder, characterized in that the polymer foam is constituted by a closed cell polymer foam. 25

De manière très avantageuse, la mousse polymère à cellules fermées utilisée dans un maillot de bain selon l'invention permet d'améliorer les caractéristiques techniques de sécurité dudit maillot de bain même lors d'une utilisation en 30 piscine, ladite mousse étant parfaitement étanche.  Very advantageously, the closed cell polymer foam used in a swimsuit according to the invention makes it possible to improve the technical safety characteristics of said swimsuit even during use in a swimming pool, said foam being perfectly waterproof.

De préférence, la mousse selon l'invention est une mousse de polyéthylène, de polyéthylène basse densité, de polyéthylène haute densité, de polypropylène, de polychlorure de vinyle,  Preferably, the foam according to the invention is a foam of polyethylene, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride,

et de tout autre polymère approprié, à cellules fermées.  and any other suitable closed cell polymer.

De manière avantageuse, la mousse polymère à cellules fermées 5 peut également être une mousse copolymère réticulée à  Advantageously, the closed cell polymer foam 5 can also be a crosslinked copolymer foam with

cellules fermées.closed cells.

Une mousse selon l'invention, parfaitement étanche, remplit en particulier les critères conformes aux normes européennes 10 à venir en vigueur, c'est-à-dire une perte volumique après traitement thermique satisfaisante et une compressibilité du  A foam according to the invention, perfectly waterproof, in particular fulfills the criteria in accordance with European standards 10 to come into force, that is to say a volume loss after satisfactory heat treatment and a compressibility of the

matériau à flottabilité inhérente également satisfaisante.  material with inherent buoyancy also satisfactory.

Une telle mousse présente également par exemple 15 une densité de l'ordre de 26 Kg/m3; une résistance à la compression de l'ordre de 25 KPa à 25%; KPa à 40%; 76 KPa à 50%; 120 KPa à 60%; une résistance à la traction de 220 Kpa; un allongement à la rupture de 365 %;  Such foam also has for example a density of the order of 26 Kg / m3; a compressive strength of the order of 25 KPa at 25%; 40% KPa; 76 KPa at 50%; 120 KPa at 60%; a tensile strength of 220 Kpa; an elongation at break of 365%;

une température d'utilisation comprise entre -700C et +800C.  an operating temperature between -700C and + 800C.

De manière très avantageuse, non seulement la mousse polymère réticulée à cellules fermées présente les caractéristiques de flottabilité conformes aux exigences de sécurité mais 25 également cette mousse montre de manière surprenante une résistance prolongée à l'utilisation en piscine contrairement  Very advantageously, not only does the crosslinked closed cell polymer foam have the buoyancy characteristics in accordance with safety requirements, but also this foam surprisingly shows prolonged resistance to use in swimming pools, unlike
