Description
VETEMENTS PARE-BALLES BALL PROTECTION
La présente invention concerne un vêtement pa,re-balles offrant à la fois une protection balistique optimale et une grande mobilité à la personne qui le porte. Elle est notamment destinée aux assauts ou interventions armées à haut risque, tels que ceux confiés au GIGN en France ou aux équipes "SWAT" aux États-Unis.The present invention relates to a garment pa, re-balls offering both optimal ballistic protection and great mobility to the person wearing it. It is particularly intended for high-risk armed assaults or interventions, such as those entrusted to GIGN in France or to "SWAT" teams in the United States.
Les gilets pare-balles connus sont faits dans un textile résistant à base de fibres tel que le Cordura® , ce textile formant par endroits des poches minces scellées dont le contenu sera décrit ci-dessous, ainsi que des poches non- scellées dans lesquelles se logent d'épaisses plaques de blindage. Les gilets pare-balles sont habituellement composés de plusieurs parties que l'on attache ensemble, au moment où l'utilisateur met le gilet pare-balles, à l'aide de bandes adhésives, par exemple en Velcro®, de manière réglable en fonction de la morphologie de l'utilisateur.The known bullet-proof vests are made of a resistant textile based on fibers such as Cordura®, this textile forming in places thin sealed pockets whose content will be described below, as well as unsealed pockets in which house thick armor plates. The bullet-proof vests are usually made up of several parts that are attached together, when the user puts on the bullet-proof vest, using adhesive strips, for example Velcro®, in an adjustable manner depending user morphology.
Dans la pratique, on distingue deux types principaux d'environnements, que nous allons à présent décrire brièvement, dans lesquels le port d'un gilet pare-balles est nécessaire.In practice, there are two main types of environment, which we will now describe briefly, in which the wearing of a bulletproof vest is necessary.
Pour les activités quotidiennes menées par les fonctionnaires en civil ou en uniforme, on utilise un gilet pare-balles dit "léger" ou "discret". Les modèles connus comprennent essentiellement une face pour la protection du buste et une face pour la protection du dos, les deux faces étant reliées entre elles par des bretelles au niveau des épaules et par des bandes adhésives au niveau des côtes. Ces faces sont constituées par des poches de faible épaisseur qui contiennent une unité appelée "pack balistique" offrant une protection vis-à-vis des impacts, protection qui peut être plus ou moins élevée selon les modèles ; ces "packs balistiques" comportent habituellement plusieurs couches de fibres à haute résistance, tissées et/ou collées, par exemple des fibres d'aramide (Kevlar®) ou de polyéthylène (Spectra®) . En raison de la quantité relativement faible de fibres à haute résistance de dernière génération requise pour
obtenir une bonne protection, le poids des gilets pare-balles légers qui en sont équipés ne dépasse pas 2 kg.For daily activities carried out by civil servants in plain clothes or in uniform, a bullet-proof vest known as "light" or "discreet" is used. The known models essentially comprise a face for the protection of the bust and a face for the protection of the back, the two faces being interconnected by suspenders at the shoulders and by adhesive strips at the ribs. These faces consist of thin pockets which contain a unit called "ballistic pack" offering protection against impacts, protection which can be higher or lower depending on the model; these "ballistic packs" usually comprise several layers of high resistance fibers, woven and / or bonded, for example aramid fibers (Kevlar®) or polyethylene fibers (Spectra®). Due to the relatively small amount of latest generation high strength fibers required for obtain good protection, the weight of light bullet-proof vests fitted with it does not exceed 2 kg.
Pour les interventions à haut risque balistique, on utilise des gilets pare-balles dits "d'intervention" (appartenant à la "classe IV" selon les normes internationales), dont on peut classer les modèles connus dans deux catégories principales .For high-risk ballistic interventions, so-called "intervention" bullet-proof vests (belonging to "class IV" according to international standards) are used, of which the known models can be classified into two main categories.
Le gilet pare-balles d'intervention du premier type est semblable dans sa morphologie au gilet pare-balles léger, si ce n'est que l'on y ajoute, pour protéger le bas-ventre de l'utilisateur, une bavette avant, parfois amovible, qui contient des fibres à haute résistance. Pour obtenir une protection optimale, les poches des faces avant et arrière de ces gilets d'intervention devront contenir chacune une plaque de blindage dure et épaisse, ce qui conduit à un poids compris entre 10 et 12 kg. Ce type de gilet d'intervention offre une protection médiocre des reins, et, ce qui est grave, il n'offre aucune protection du cou, des bras, et du bas de la colonne vertébrale. Le gilet pare-balles d'intervention du second type, quant à lui, comporte un col assez rigide et une protection renforcée au niveau des épaules. Les faces avant et arrière, ainsi que la bavette avant, sont semblables à celles du gilet d'intervention du premier type décrit ci-dessus. Une fois assemblé, le vêtement résultant est presque complètement rigide, même si les modèles classiques permettent pour la plupart à la bavette de pivoter autour de la bordure inférieure de la face avant. Le poids de ces gilets pare- balles d'intervention est considérable (plus de 16 kg), cela étant dû en partie à l'utilisation de fibres de moindre résistance aux impacts que celles placées dans les gilets légers, ce qui impose d'en mettre une grande quantité. Ce type de gilet pare-balles d'intervention n'offre pas une protection totale du corps, puisque les reins sont faiblement protégés, tandis que les bras et le bas de la colonne vertébrale ne le sont pas du tout. Le pire inconvénient,
cependant, de ce type de gilet d'intervention est qu'il ne permet qu'une très faible mobilité à son utilisateur, tant du fait de son poids que de sa rigidité. Cette dernière empêche l'utilisateur de pouvoir s'asseoir normalement (ce qui fait problème pour les transports en voiture) , ou de courir, de descendre en rappel , de mettre en œuvre ses armes , ou de maîtriser en corps à corps les personnes à interpeller.The first type intervention bullet-proof vest is similar in morphology to the light bullet-proof vest, except that we add to it, to protect the user's abdomen, a front flap, sometimes removable, which contains high strength fibers. To obtain optimal protection, the pockets of the front and rear sides of these intervention vests must each contain a hard and thick armor plate, which leads to a weight of between 10 and 12 kg. This type of intervention vest offers poor protection for the kidneys, and, what is serious, it offers no protection for the neck, arms, and lower spine. The second type intervention bulletproof vest, meanwhile, has a fairly rigid collar and reinforced protection at the shoulders. The front and rear faces, as well as the front flap, are similar to those of the intervention vest of the first type described above. Once assembled, the resulting garment is almost completely rigid, even if the classic models allow most of the flap to pivot around the lower edge of the front panel. The weight of these intervention bullet-proof vests is considerable (more than 16 kg), this being partly due to the use of fibers of less resistance to impacts than those placed in light vests, which requires put a large amount. This type of intervention bulletproof vest does not offer total protection of the body, since the kidneys are weakly protected, while the arms and lower spine are not at all. The worst drawback, However, this type of intervention vest is that it allows very little mobility for its user, both because of its weight and its rigidity. The latter prevents the user from being able to sit normally (which is a problem for transport by car), or from running, abseiling, using his weapons, or mastering the people in close combat. challenge.
Dans l'art antérieur concernant les gilets pare-balles d'intervention, on considérait donc généralement qu'une bonne protection quant à la surface du corps couverte ne pouvait être obtenue qu'au moyen d'une "armure" lourde et rigide, c'est-à-dire au prix d'une limitation considérable de la liberté de mouvement de l'utilisateur, alors que sa vie et l'efficacité de son intervention en dépendent. En outre, ces gilets pare-balles d'intervention ne protègent pas les bras et ne protègent que faiblement les épaules ; or cette protection est vraiment nécessaire : il est arrivé à maintes reprises qu'un membre des forces de l'ordre portant un gilet d'intervention classique soit tué par une balle qui lui a traversé un bras avant de lui perforer le coeur. Il est à noter à cet égard qu'un projectile entrant latéralement dans le thorax, par comparaison avec un projectile entrant de face, est extrêmement dangereux du fait de la grande probabilité qu'a ce projectile d'atteindre un organe vital, ce qui entraîne généralement la mort rapide de la victime, même en cas de prise en charge médicale immédiate.In the prior art concerning intervention bullet-proof vests, it was therefore generally considered that good protection as regards the surface of the covered body could only be obtained by means of a heavy and rigid "armor", c that is to say at the cost of a considerable limitation of the freedom of movement of the user, when his life and the effectiveness of his intervention depend on it. In addition, these intervention bulletproof vests do not protect the arms and only weakly protect the shoulders; However, this protection is really necessary: it has happened many times that a member of the police force wearing a classic intervention vest has been killed by a bullet which crossed his arm before puncturing his heart. It should be noted in this regard that a projectile entering laterally into the thorax, in comparison with a projectile entering from the front, is extremely dangerous because of the high probability that this projectile will reach a vital organ, which leads to generally the rapid death of the victim, even in the event of immediate medical treatment.
Afin de pouvoir marier un niveau de protection balistique des plus élevés avec une excellente mobilité, précieuse dans les circonstances des interventions armées auxquelles la présente invention est destinée, celle-ci propose un vêtement pare-balles d'intervention constitué, d'une part, d'un gilet pare-balles léger classique, et d'autre part d'un sur-gilet pare-balles conçu pour être porté par-dessus ledit gilet pare-balles léger, cette constitution en deux composantes ayant pour effet de conférer audit
vêtement une souplesse et un confort nettement supérieurs à ceux d'un vêtement pare-balles d'intervention constitué d'un seul gilet pare-balles à niveau de protection balistique égal . Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ledit sur-gilet pare-balles est composé des parties suivantes : une face avant munie en son centre d'une poche contenant une plaque de blindage dure et épaisse servant à protéger le buste de l'utilisateur, ladite face avant étant prolongée par une bavette avant, articulée autour de la bordure inférieure de cette face avant, pour protéger son bas-ventre et ses artères fémorales, une face arrière munie en son centre d'une poche contenant une plaque de blindage dure et épaisse servant à protéger le dos de l'utilisateur, ladite face arrière étant prolongée par une bavette arrière, articulée autour de la bordure inférieure de cette face arrière, pour protéger ses reins, le bas de sa colonne vertébrale et son coccyx, un col, pour protéger son cou et ses épaules, un couvre-bras gauche et un couvre-bras droit, toutes les attaches requises entre lesdites parties étant assurées par des bandes souples.In order to be able to marry a high level of ballistic protection with excellent mobility, precious in the circumstances of the armed interventions for which the present invention is intended, the latter proposes a bullet-proof intervention clothing consisting, on the one hand, of a classic light bullet-proof vest, and on the other hand of a bullet-proof over-vest designed to be worn over said light bullet-proof vest, this constitution in two components having the effect of giving said audit clothing flexibility and comfort markedly superior to that of intervention bullet-proof clothing consisting of a single bullet-proof vest with equal level of ballistic protection. According to a preferred embodiment, said bullet-proof over-vest is composed of the following parts: a front face provided in its center with a pocket containing a hard and thick armor plate serving to protect the bust of the user, said front face being extended by a front flap, articulated around the lower edge of this front face, to protect its lower abdomen and its femoral arteries, a rear face provided in its center with a pocket containing a hard and thick armor plate serving to protect the user's back, said rear face being extended by a rear flap, articulated around the lower edge of this rear face, to protect his kidneys, the bottom of his spine and his coccyx, a collar, for protect his neck and shoulders, a left arm cover and a right arm cover, all the required fasteners between said parts being provided by flexible bands.
En outre, les attaches entre ladite face avant et ladite face arrière, ladite bavette avant et la face avant, ladite bavette arrière et la face arrière, ledit col eu la face avant, et enfin ledit col et la face arrière, sont de préférence amovibles .In addition, the fasteners between said front face and said rear face, said front flap and the front face, said rear flap and the rear face, said collar having the front face, and finally said collar and the rear face, are preferably removable. .
D'autres avantages, buts et caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront de la descripcion ci-dessous d'un mode de réalisation présenté à titre d'exemple, ladite description s ' appuyant sur les figures annexées qui représentent un sur-gilet pare-balles selon 1 ' invention dont la figure 1 montre la face avant et la bavette avant, la figure 2 montre la face arrière et la bavette arrière, et la figure 3 montre le col et les couvre-bras .Other advantages, aims and characteristics of the present invention will emerge from the description below of an embodiment presented by way of example, said description being based on the appended figures which represent a bullet-proof over-vest. 1 according to the invention, Figure 1 shows the front face and the front flap, Figure 2 shows the rear face and the rear flap, and Figure 3 shows the neck and arm covers.
Les faces avant 1 et arrière 2 dudit sur-gilet, illustrées sur les figures 1 et 2 , contiennent une mousse de faible densité (dénuée de résistance aux impacts), alors que les gilets d'intervention classiques utilisent des fibres
résistantes à ces endroits, la protection balistique requise pour le buste et le dos de l'utilisateur étant, selon l'invention, assurée par un gilet pare-balles léger classiqueThe front 1 and rear 2 faces of said over-vest, illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, contain a low density foam (devoid of impact resistance), while the conventional intervention vests use fibers resistant in these places, the ballistic protection required for the bust and the back of the user being, according to the invention, provided by a conventional light bulletproof vest
(non représenté) porté par-dessous (avec, éventuellement, un uniforme de police entre le gilet léger et le sur-gilet) . Il en résulte un accroissement sensible du confort présenté par le vêtement dans son ensemble, surtout si l'on emploie des fibres à haute résistance de dernière génération dans les(not shown) worn from below (possibly with a police uniform between the light waistcoat and the overcoat). This results in a significant increase in the comfort presented by the garment as a whole, especially if the latest generation high strength fibers are used in the
"packs balistiques" dudit gilet pare-balles léger. La face avant 1 du sur-gilet comporte en son centre une poche à soufflets 13 dans laquelle on glisse une plaque de blindage dure et épaisse, ladite poche 13 pouvant être refermée en faisant adhérer le rabat 14 sur le dessus de cette poche 13. De même, la face arrière 2 comporte en son centre une poche à soufflets 15 dans laquelle on glisse une plaque de blindage dure et épaisse, ladite poche 15 pouvant être refermée en faisant adhérer le rabat 16 sur le dessus de cette poche 15."ballistic packs" of said light bulletproof vest. The front face 1 of the over-vest has in its center a bellows pocket 13 in which a hard and thick armor plate is slid, said pocket 13 being able to be closed by making the flap 14 adhere to the top of this pocket 13. From similarly, the rear face 2 has at its center a bellows pocket 15 into which a hard and thick armor plate is slid, said pocket 15 being able to be closed by making the flap 16 adhere to the top of this pocket 15.
Pour mettre le sur-gilet, on fixe par adhésion les bretelles 3 et 4, solidaires de la face arrière 2, sur les coins supérieurs 5 et 6 , respectivement, de la face avant 1, ainsi que les bandes 7 et 8 , solidaires de la face arrière 2, sur une première plage horizontale 9 située sur le dessus de la poche 13, et enfin les bandes 10 et 11, solidaires de la face arrière 2, sur la deuxième plage horizontale 12 située sur le dessus de la poche 13. Lesdites bandes 7, 8, 10 et 11 possèdent une certaine élasticité pour rendre le sur-gilet plus souple et plus confortable à porter.To put on the waistcoat, the straps 3 and 4, secured to the rear face 2, are fixed by adhesion to the upper corners 5 and 6, respectively, of the front face 1, as well as the bands 7 and 8, secured to the rear face 2, on a first horizontal pad 9 located on the top of the pocket 13, and finally the strips 10 and 11, secured to the rear face 2, on the second horizontal pad 12 located on the top of the pocket 13. Said bands 7, 8, 10 and 11 have a certain elasticity to make the over-vest more flexible and more comfortable to wear.
La bavette avant 17 se fixe, à l'aide d'une bande adhérente 18, sur la bordure inférieure de la face avant 1 ; après fixation, ladite bavette avant 17 peut pivoter autour de cette bordure inférieure. De même, la bavette arrière 19 se fixe, à l'aide d'une bande adhérente 20, sur la bordure inférieure de la face arrière 2 ; après fixation, ladite bavette arrière 19 peut pivoter autour de cette bordure
inférieure. Ainsi, les bavettes selon l'invention permettent de s'asseoir sans gêne.The front flap 17 is fixed, using an adhesive strip 18, on the lower edge of the front face 1; after fixing, said front flap 17 can pivot around this lower edge. Likewise, the rear flap 19 is fixed, using an adhesive strip 20, to the lower edge of the rear face 2; after fixing, said rear flap 19 can pivot around this border lower. Thus, the flaps according to the invention allow to sit without embarrassment.
Le col 21, illustré sur la figure 3, se ferme autour du cou de l'utilisateur à l'aide d'une fermeture 22 située sur sa nuque et formée simplement par adhésion de deux parties du même col 21. On attache ce dernier à la face avant 1 en faisant passer les bandes 23 et 24 à travers les passants 25 et 26, respectivement, qui sont montés sur le dessus de la poche 13, puis en repliant lesdites bandes 23 et 24 de façon à les fixer par adhésion sur les plages 27 et 28, respectivement, qui sont situées sur l'avant du col 21. De même, on attache le col 21 à la face arrière 2 en faisant passer les bandes 29 et 30 à travers les passants 31 et 32, respectivement, qui sont montés sur le dessus de la poche 15, puis en repliant lesdites bandes 29 et 30 de façon à les fixer par adhésion sur les plages 33 et 34, respectivement, qui sont situées sur l'arrière du col 21.The collar 21, illustrated in FIG. 3, closes around the user's neck with the aid of a closure 22 located on his neck and formed simply by adhesion of two parts of the same collar 21. The latter is attached to the front face 1 by passing the strips 23 and 24 through the loops 25 and 26, respectively, which are mounted on the top of the pocket 13, then folding said strips 23 and 24 so as to fix them by adhesion to the tracks 27 and 28, respectively, which are located on the front of the neck 21. Similarly, the neck 21 is attached to the rear face 2 by passing the strips 29 and 30 through the loops 31 and 32, respectively, which are mounted on the top of the pocket 15, then folding said strips 29 and 30 so as to fix them by adhesion on pads 33 and 34, respectively, which are located on the rear of the neck 21.
On attache au col 21 un couvre-bras gauche 35 à l'aide des bandes 36 et 37, et un couvre-bras droit 38 à l'aide des bandes 39 et 40 ; lesdites bandes 36, 37, 39 et 40 possèdent une certaine élasticité afin de permettre aux épaules de l'utilisateur de se mouvoir librement. Le couvre-bras 35 se referme autour de son bras gauche à l'aide des bandes 39 et 40 qui viennent adhérer sur les plages 41 et 42, respectivement, du même couvre-bras 35. De même, le couvre- bras 38 se referme autour de son bras droit à l'aide des bandes 43 et 44 qui viennent adhérer sur les plages 45 et 46, respectivement, du même couvre-bras 38.A left arm cover 35 is attached to the collar 21 using the bands 36 and 37, and a right arm cover 38 using the bands 39 and 40; said bands 36, 37, 39 and 40 have a certain elasticity in order to allow the shoulders of the user to move freely. The arm cover 35 closes around its left arm using bands 39 and 40 which adhere to the pads 41 and 42, respectively, of the same arm cover 35. Similarly, the arm cover 38 closes around his right arm using bands 43 and 44 which adhere to pads 45 and 46, respectively, of the same arm cover 38.
Les bavettes avant 17 et arrière 19, le col 21 ainsi que les couvre-bras 35 et 38 contiennent des fibres résistantes aux impacts. Éventuellement, on peut prévoir d'incorporer des plaques balistiques dans les couvre-bras et/ou dans la bavette avant, afin de leur conférer une plus haute résistance, mais cela présente évidemment l'inconvénient d'augmenter leur poids.
On voit donc que la conception du vêtement pare-balles selon 1 ' invention comme ensemble de plusieurs parties possédant une certaine indépendance les unes par rapport aux autres, confère à ce vêtement une grande souplesse, de sorte qu'il laisse beaucoup de liberté de mouvement à la personne qui le porte. Cette souplesse, alliée au faible poids dudit vêtement, permet à son utilisateur de jouir d'une mobilité considérablement supérieure à celle permise par les gilets pare-balles d'intervention connus, tout en offrant une protection balistique plus complète.The front 17 and rear 19 flaps, the neck 21 and the arm covers 35 and 38 contain impact resistant fibers. Optionally, provision may be made to incorporate ballistic plates in the arm covers and / or in the front flap, in order to give them greater resistance, but this obviously has the drawback of increasing their weight. It can therefore be seen that the design of the bullet-proof clothing according to the invention as an assembly of several parts having a certain independence from one another, gives this clothing great flexibility, so that it leaves a lot of freedom of movement to the person wearing it. This flexibility, combined with the low weight of said garment, allows its user to enjoy mobility considerably greater than that allowed by known intervention bullet-proof vests, while offering more complete ballistic protection.
De plus, la résistance aux impacts permise par le vêtement pare-balles selon l'invention est au moins égale à celle des gilets pare-balles d'intervention connus, et peut être rendue encore plus grande. Par exemple, on peut parfaitement envisager de remplacer, dans les faces avant 1 et arrière 2 du sur-gilet, la mousse par des "packs balistiques" .In addition, the impact resistance permitted by the bullet-proof clothing according to the invention is at least equal to that of known intervention bullet-proof vests, and can be made even greater. For example, it is perfectly possible to envisage replacing, in the front 1 and rear 2 faces of the over-vest, the foam with "ballistic packs".
Un avantage supplémentaire de 1 ' invention est que le volume total de ce vêtement est nettement inférieur à celui d'un gilet pare-balles d'intervention classique, pour peu que ce dernier offre un niveau de protection balistique suffisamment élevé. Cette caractéristique permet à l'utilisateur de porter confortablement, par-dessus le vêtement pare-balles d'intervention, une veste multi-poches très légère (de type connu) pouvant contenir toutes sortes d'objets tels que munitions, armes, radio, ou menottes ; ladite caractéristique permet également de plier le tout de manière compacte dans un sac pour le rangement ou le transport .
An additional advantage of the invention is that the total volume of this garment is much lower than that of a conventional intervention bullet-proof vest, provided that the latter offers a sufficiently high level of ballistic protection. This feature allows the user to comfortably wear, over the intervention bullet-proof clothing, a very light multi-pocket jacket (of known type) which can contain all kinds of objects such as ammunition, weapons, radio, or handcuffs; said characteristic also makes it possible to fold everything compactly in a bag for storage or transport.
