Abstract
Description
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique de l'orthoprothésie. The invention relates to the technical sector of orthoprosthesis.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une housse de protection adaptable à la forme d'un appareillage d' orthoprothésie. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a protective cover adaptable to the form of an orthopedic equipment.
Généralement un orthoprothésiste réalise des appareillages externes sur mesure résultant d'une prise d'empreinte ou moulage d'une personne malade ou handicapée, par exemple, susceptible de présenter différentes pathologies ou déficiences ostéo-articulaires, musculaires, neurologiques, In general, an orthopedic technician makes tailor-made external devices resulting from an impression or molding of a sick or disabled person, for example, likely to present various osteo-articular, muscular or neurological pathologies or deficiencies.
A titre indicatif, nullement limitatif, parmi les appareils utilisés en orthoprothésie, on peut citer les sièges, les corsets, les appareils de positionnement, les stabilisateurs, ... As an indication, in no way limiting, among the devices used in orthoprosthesis, we can mention the seats, corsets, positioning devices, stabilizers, ...
Dans la suite de la description, ces différents produits seront désignés sous le terme générique d'appareillage. In the following description, these different products will be referred to as the generic term of apparatus.
Généralement, ces appareillages comprennent, pour l'essentiel, une coque rigide obtenue par moulage et présentent une garniture déterminée pour améliorer le confort du patient. Ces garnitures résultent d'une mousse, par exemple d'une mousse PE ou autre, également obtenue par moulage, pour être adaptée généralement à l'intérieur de la coque rigide en y étant fixée par tout moyen connu et approprié. Generally, these devices comprise, for the most part, a rigid shell obtained by molding and have a specific lining to improve the comfort of the patient. These fittings result from a foam, for example a PE foam or other, also obtained by molding, to be adapted generally inside the rigid shell by being fixed by any known and appropriate means.
Or, il est apparu que l'utilisation de cette mousse en tant que garniture de confort présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients, parmi lesquels on peut citer : - des risques importants de détérioration sous forme d'accrocs susceptibles occasionnés par les ongles, les bagues, ... ; - suite à des problèmes d'incontinence urinaire, la mousse devient poreuse avec, par conséquent, des risques d'odeurs désagréables ; - des difficultés d'entretien ; - l'aspect esthétique, étant donné que les couleurs ont tendance à s'estomper dans le temps. However, it has emerged that the use of this foam as a comfort pad has a certain number of disadvantages, among which there may be mentioned: significant risks of deterioration in the form of likely snags caused by the nails, rings, ...; - following problems of urinary incontinence, the foam becomes porous with, consequently, the risk of unpleasant odors; - maintenance difficulties; - the aesthetic aspect, since the colors tend to fade over time.
L'invention s'est fixée pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients d'une manière simple, sûre, efficace et rationnelle. The object of the invention is to remedy these disadvantages in a simple, safe, effective and rational manner.
Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de pouvoir réaliser une housse de protection à partir d'un matériau textile apte à assurer également une garniture de confort pour le patient. The problem to be solved by the invention is to be able to make a protective cover from a textile material capable of also ensuring a comfort pad for the patient.
Pour résoudre un tel problème, il a été conçu et mis au point un procédé de fabrication d'une housse de protection adaptable à la forme d'un appareillage d'orthoprothèse, selon lequel : - on réalise un complexe résultant de la juxtaposition d'une mousse, d'un film réactivable et d'un textile assemblés avec capacité de glissement relatif sous l'effet d'une source de chaleur ; - on réalise le thermoformage du complexe porté à une température déterminée, en l'appliquant sur la forme positive de l'appareillage ; - on confectionne le complexe thermoformé pour réaliser la housse en tant que telle. To solve such a problem, it has been designed and developed a method of manufacturing a protective cover adaptable to the form of an orthopedic fitting apparatus, according to which: a complex resulting from the juxtaposition of a foam, a reactivatable film and a fabric assembled with relative slip capacity under the effect of a heat source; the thermoforming of the complex carried out at a given temperature is carried out, by applying it to the positive form of the apparatus; - The thermoformed complex is made to make the cover as such.
Pour résoudre le problème posé d'assurer la réalisation du complexe textile en tant que tel, on assemble, dans une première phase, le film réactivable sur la mousse et, dans une deuxième phase, le textile sur la face de la mousse présentant ledit film. To solve the problem of ensuring the realization of the textile complex as such, in a first phase, the reactivatable film is assembled on the foam and, in a second phase, the textile on the face of the foam having said film. .
Pour résoudre le problème posé d'obtenir un effet de glissement relatif du textile et de la mousse par rapport au film réactivable, on soumet la mousse à une opération de flammage, on applique le film sur ladite mousse et on soumet la mousse avec le film à une opération de calandrage puis on soumet la mousse présentant le film à une opération de flammage, on applique, sur le film, le textile que l'on soumet à une opération de calandrage. To solve the problem of obtaining a relative sliding effect of the textile and the foam relative to the reactivatable film, the foam is subjected to a flaming operation, the film is applied to said foam and the foam is subjected to the film at a calendering operation and then subjecting the foam having the film to a flaming operation, is applied to the film, the textile that is subjected to a calendering operation.
Le phénomène de glissement, au moment du thermoformage, est important pour être certain de bien garder la forme souhaitée. The slip phenomenon, at the time of thermoforming, is important to be sure to keep the desired shape.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques : - on soumet le complexe à une température comprise entre 150°C et 200°C ; - la mousse est une mousse PE ; - le film réactivable est un film thermofusible microperforé ; - le textile présente, de préférence, une structure aérée et est, de préférence, un tricot indémaillable ; - le textile est un tricot et, avantageusement, un tricot 3D. According to other characteristics: the complex is subjected to a temperature of between 150 ° C. and 200 ° C .; the foam is a PE foam; the reactivatable film is a microperforated hot-melt film; the textile preferably has an airy structure and is preferably a knit-proof knit; the textile is a knit and, advantageously, a 3D knit.
L'invention concerne également une housse, notamment une housse résultant du procédé selon l'invention présentant une structure complexe résultant de la juxtaposition d'une mousse, d'un film réactivable et d'un textile, ladite structure correspondant à la forme de l'appareillage et présente des moyens aptes à envelopper une partie dudit appareillage pour constituer la housse en tant que telle. The invention also relates to a cover, in particular a cover resulting from the process according to the invention having a complex structure resulting from the juxtaposition of a foam, a reactivatable film and a textile, said structure corresponding to the shape of the apparatus and has means adapted to envelop a portion of said apparatus to form the cover as such.
L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide des figures des dessins annexés dans lesquels : - la figure 1 est une vue en coupe à caractère schématique de la structure du complexe ; - la figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective d'un exemple d'une contreforme obtenue à partir d'un complexe résultant des différentes étapes du procédé selon l'invention - la figure 3 est une vue en perspective après confection du complexe pour réaliser une housse en tant que telle et avant mise en place de la housse sur une coque faisant office de siège ; - la figure 4 est une vue en perspective après mise en place du complexe formant housse sur la coque ; - la figure 5 est une vue arrière correspondant à la figure 4. The invention is described below in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of the structure of the complex; FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of an example of a counterform obtained from a complex resulting from the various steps of the method according to the invention; FIG. 3 is a perspective view after making the complex to produce a cover as such and before setting up the cover on a shell serving as a seat; - Figure 4 is a perspective view after placement of the cover complex on the shell; - Figure 5 is a rear view corresponding to Figure 4.
Comme indiqué, le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de réaliser une housse de protection adaptable à la forme d'un appareillage d'orthoprothésie quelconque avec, pour objectif, que cette housse fasse également office de garniture pour améliorer le confort du patient. As indicated, the problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a protective cover adaptable to the shape of any orthopedic appliances, with the objective that this cover also serves as a trim to improve the comfort of the patient.
Les dessins annexés montrent un exemple de réalisation d'une housse adaptable à une coque (1) sous forme d'un siège, étant bien entendu que l'invention peut s'appliquer à tout type d'appareillage, tel que stabilisateurs, corsets, appareils de positionnement, ... La coque (1) ou autre armature support, demeure réalisée à la façon connue et résulte généralement d'une prise d'empreinte ou moulage d'une partie d'un patient. The accompanying drawings show an example embodiment of a cover adaptable to a shell (1) in the form of a seat, it being understood that the invention can be applied to any type of apparatus, such as stabilizers, corsets, positioning devices, ... The shell (1) or other support frame, remains in the known manner and generally results from an impression or molding of a part of a patient.
Selon l'invention, on réalise un complexe désigné dans son ensemble par (C) résultant de la juxtaposition d'une mousse (2), d'un film réactivable (3) et d'un textile (4). La mousse (2) se présente sous forme d'une plaque, généralement de forme quadrangulaire et dont les dimensions dépendent de l'appareillage concerné. L'épaisseur de la plaque en mousse est généralement comprise entre 3 mm et 30 mm De même, cette mousse peut être, en totalité ou en quasi totalité, en PE. Le film réactivable (3) est avantageusement un film thermofusible microperforé. According to the invention, a complex designated as a whole by (C) resulting from the juxtaposition of a foam (2), a reactivatable film (3) and a textile (4) is produced. The foam (2) is in the form of a plate, generally quadrangular in shape and whose dimensions depend on the equipment concerned. The thickness of the foam plate is generally between 3 mm and 30 mm. Similarly, this foam may be, in whole or almost all, PE. The reactivatable film (3) is advantageously a microperforated hot-melt film.
Le textile (4) est généralement conformé pour obtenir une structure aérée. Par exemple, le textile (4) est un tricot 3D. The textile (4) is generally shaped to obtain an airy structure. For example, the textile (4) is a 3D knit.
En considérant les caractéristiques de ce complexe (C), ce dernier peut être thermoformé sur la forme positive de l'appareillage considéré. On décrit ci-après le procédé de réalisation en tant que tel du complexe (C) et de la housse, après l'opération de thermoformage. Considering the characteristics of this complex (C), the latter can be thermoformed on the positive form of the apparatus considered. The method of producing the complex (C) and the cover, after the thermoforming operation, is described below.
La plaque de mousse (2) est soumise à une opération de flammage 20 pour ramollir son état de surface. Le film (3) est ensuite appliqué sur la plaque de mousse (2) ainsi ramollie, l'ensemble (mousse (2) + film (3)) étant ensuite soumis à une opération de calandrage, avantageusement de calandrage à froid. The foam plate (2) is subjected to a flaming operation to soften its surface condition. The film (3) is then applied to the foam plate (2) thus softened, the assembly (foam (2) + film (3)) then being subjected to a calendering operation, preferably cold calendering.
25 Dans une deuxième étape, la plaque (2) avec le film (3), dans les conditions indiquées précédemment, sont soumis à une autre opération de flammage. Le textile (4) est ensuite appliqué sur le film (3) de la mousse (2), l'ensemble (mousse (2) + film (3) + textile (4)) étant ensuite soumis à une opération de calandrage, notamment de calandrage à froid.15 Le complexe (C) ainsi réalisé est ensuite soumis à une température comprise entre 150°C et 200°C. Par exemple, le complexe (C) est introduit quelques minutes dans un four, porté à une température de l'ordre de 170°C. Le complexe est ensuite mis en forme sur le positif de l'appareillage. On obtient, par conséquent, un complexe (C) thermoformé. Il suffit ensuite de confectionner le complexe, pour réaliser la housse en tant que telle. Par exemple, une fois que la forme de base est réalisée, on découpe le complexe à la forme générale de l'appareil et on réalise des contours (5) que l'on va assembler au niveau de la périphérie du complexe (C). Ces contours (5) peuvent être réalisés dans différents matériaux et sont conformés pour coiffer une partie de l'appareillage, afin de maintenir la housse en combinaison éventuellement avec des moyens de fixation, tels que des rubans du type autoagrippant. Ces contours (5) peuvent, par exemple, être réalisés à partir d'un tissu ayant des capacités d'élasticité. In a second step, the plate (2) with the film (3), under the conditions indicated above, are subjected to another flaming operation. The textile (4) is then applied to the film (3) of the foam (2), the assembly (foam (2) + film (3) + textile (4)) then being subjected to a calendering operation, in particular The complex (C) thus formed is then subjected to a temperature of between 150 ° C and 200 ° C. For example, the complex (C) is introduced for a few minutes in an oven, heated to a temperature of the order of 170 ° C. The complex is then shaped on the positive of the apparatus. As a result, a thermoformed complex (C) is obtained. Then just make the complex, to make the cover as such. For example, once the basic shape is formed, the complex is cut to the general shape of the apparatus and contours (5) are produced which will be assembled at the periphery of the complex (C). These contours (5) can be made in different materials and are shaped to cover a part of the apparatus, in order to maintain the cover in combination possibly with fastening means, such as self-gripping type ribbons. These contours (5) may, for example, be made from a fabric having elastic capacities.
Le procédé, selon l'invention, permet donc d'obtenir une structure complexe (C) résultant de la juxtaposition d'une mousse (2), d'un film réactivable (3) et d'un textile aéré (4). Cette structure, correspondant à la forme de l'appareillage, fait office de garniture pour améliorer le confort du patient et présente des moyens (5) aptes à envelopper une partie dudit appareillage pour constituer la housse en tant que telle. The method according to the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain a complex structure (C) resulting from the juxtaposition of a foam (2), a reactivatable film (3) and an aerated textile (4). This structure, corresponding to the shape of the apparatus, serves as a lining to improve the comfort of the patient and has means (5) capable of wrapping a portion of said apparatus to form the cover as such.
Les avantages ressortent bien de la description, en particulier on souligne et on rappelle : - le confort obtenu, - la suppression des risques d'accrocs et de déchirure, - la possibilité de lavage, - la possibilité de soumettre le complexe à un traitement antibactérien, - la possibilité d'enlever, à volonté, la housse, - la tenue dans le temps tant au niveau de la qualité intrinsèque que de l'aspect visuel. The advantages are apparent from the description, in particular it emphasizes and recalls: - the comfort obtained, - the elimination of the risk of snagging and tearing, - the possibility of washing, - the possibility of subjecting the complex to antibacterial treatment - the possibility of removing, at will, the cover, - the holding in time both in terms of intrinsic quality and visual appearance.
