Description

DISPOSITIF DE PORTAGE DESTINE NOTAMMENT AU TRANSPORT DES PLANCHES DE SURF CARRYING DEVICE IN PARTICULAR FOR TRANSPORTING SURFBOARDS
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de portage destiné notamment, mais non exclusivement, au transport des planches de surf ou des flotteurs de planche à voile, et en particulier pour porter lesdites planches jusqu'à la plage sur des trajets généralement courts.The present invention relates to a carrying device intended in particular, but not exclusively, for transporting surfboards or windsurfing floats, and in particular for carrying said boards to the beach on generally short routes.
Les objets de loisir ou de sport, dans la limite d'une certaine taille,Leisure or sports objects, up to a certain size,
• sont transportés sur la plage à la main ou le cas échéant au moyen d'un chariot apte à rouler sur le sable, et sur lequel, par exemple, on dispose un flotteur de planche à voile.• are transported to the beach by hand or, where appropriate, by means of a trolley suitable for riding on sand, and on which, for example, there is a windsurfing float.
Les planches de surf ou les flotteurs sont également susceptibles d'être transportés à la main. Cependant, ils sont encombrants puisqu'ils s'étendent longitudinalement d'une longueur sensiblement équivalente à la taille humaine, entre deux extrémités et présentent deux bords opposés incurvés formant tranches d'une épaisseur déterminée qui se rejoignent auxdites deux extrémités. Ainsi, les planches ou flotteurs étant relativement pesants et ne présentant pas de zone d'accrochage particulière, leur port est mal aisé. Il est fréquent de transporter une planche sous le bras, son axe longitudinal étant orienté sensiblement parallèlement au sol et une portion médiane de sa tranche étant en appuiSurfboards or floats are also likely to be carried by hand. However, they are bulky since they extend longitudinally of a length substantially equivalent to human size, between two ends and have two opposite curved edges forming slices of a determined thickness which meet at said two ends. Thus, the boards or floats being relatively heavy and having no particular attachment zone, their wearing is difficult. It is common to carry a board under the arm, its longitudinal axis being oriented substantially parallel to the ground and a middle portion of its edge being in support
• dans la paume de la main. Dans cette position de transport, la portion médiane en appui doit être exactement située à l'aplomb du centre d'inertie de la planche sans quoi elle bascule d'un côté ou de l'autre, et lorsque la portion médiane en appui est correctement choisie, ce risque de basculement persiste et est d'autant plus important que la planche est longue et lourde. De plus, sur de longues distances cette position de transport est fatigante pour le surfeur ou le véliplanchiste.• in the palm of the hand. In this transport position, the middle portion in support must be exactly located plumb with the center of inertia of the board without which it rocks on one side or the other, and when the middle portion in support is correctly chosen, this risk of tilting persists and is all the more important as the board is long and heavy. In addition, over long distances this transport position is tiring for the surfer or windsurfer.
En outre, compte tenu de la forme incurvée des bords des planches, et compte tenu que tous les types de planche ne présentent pas la même incurvation, il est difficile de réaliser un dispositif standard permettant de s'adapter à tous les types pour les porter de façon stable. Un problème qui se pose et que vise à résoudre la présente invention, est alors de réaliser un dispositif de portage de planches ou de flotteurs, qui non seulement est adaptable à tous les types, mais aussi permettent de transporter lesdites planches ou lesdits flotteurs sans fatigue et de façon confortable.In addition, given the curved shape of the edges of the boards, and given that all types of board do not have the same curvature, it is difficult to produce a standard device making it possible to adapt to all the types for carrying them. stably. A problem which arises and which the present invention aims to solve is then to produce a device for carrying boards or floats, which not only is adaptable to all types, but also makes it possible to transport said boards or said floats without fatigue. and comfortably.
A cet effet, la présente invention propose un dispositif de portage comprenant : deux pièces flexibles sensiblement identiques présentant chacune, un premier bord et un second bord opposé audit premier bord ; au moins deux liens flexibles réglables susceptibles de relier ensemble les deux premiers bords desdites pièces flexibles en au moins deux premiers points de liaison desdits premiers bords espacés l'un de l'autre de façon que lesdites deux pièces soient susceptibles d'être disposées en regard l'une de l'autre ; et, au moins une bande flexible formant poignée présentant deux extrémités, lesdites extrémités étant susceptibles d'être reliées aux deux seconds bord desdites pièces flexibles en regard, en deux seconds points de liaison espacés l'un de l'autre sur chacun desdits seconds bords, lesdits seconds points de liaison desdits deux seconds bords étant respectivement situés à proximité les uns des autres, de façon que ladite planche de surf dont la partie médiane est insérée entre lesdites pièces flexibles, soit susceptible d'être portée suspendue à ladite bande flexible, la tranche présentant deux zones en appui contre lesdits deux liens flexibles réglables.To this end, the present invention provides a carrying device comprising: two substantially identical flexible parts each having a first edge and a second edge opposite to said first edge; at least two adjustable flexible links capable of connecting together the first two edges of said flexible pieces at at least two first connection points of said first edges spaced from each other so that said two pieces are likely to be arranged opposite one from the other ; and, at least one flexible strip forming a handle having two ends, said ends being capable of being connected to the two second edges of said flexible pieces facing each other, at two second connecting points spaced from one another on each of said second edges , said second connection points of said two second edges being respectively located in proximity to one another, so that said surfboard, the middle part of which is inserted between said flexible pieces, is capable of being carried suspended from said flexible strip, the edge having two zones bearing against said two adjustable flexible links.
Ainsi, une caractéristique du dispositif de portage réside dans le mode de liaison des deux premiers bords desdites pièces flexibles au moyen des liens flexibles réglables qui permettent de disposer les pièces flexibles en regard l'une de l'autre, lesdits liens flexibles réglables assurant au moins partiellement l'articulation entre lesdites deux pièces flexibles, ces dernières étant également susceptibles de participer à l'articulation. De la sorte, les parties médianes des deux faces opposées de la planche sont susceptibles, chacune, d'être recouverte par une desdites deux pièces flexibles, ladite planche étant insérée entre les deux pièces flexibles disposées en regard l'une de l'autre. En outre, la planche est transportée, au moyen de la bande flexible qui est susceptible d'être disposée en appui sur une épaule du porteur, la planche étant suspendue verticalement, son axe longitudinal sensiblement parallèle au sol, et de façon que lesdites zones de la tranche soit en appui sur les liens flexibles réglables. Les liens flexibles réglables étant espacés l'un de l'autre les zones d'appui le sont également, de sorte que la planche est portée de manière stable sans risque de basculement.Thus, a characteristic of the carrying device resides in the mode of connection of the first two edges of said flexible parts by means of adjustable flexible links which make it possible to arrange the flexible parts facing one another, said adjustable flexible links ensuring at least partially the articulation between said two flexible parts, the latter also being capable of participating in the articulation. In this way, the middle parts of the two opposite faces of the board are each capable of being covered by one of said two flexible pieces, said board being inserted between the two flexible pieces arranged opposite one another. In addition, the board is transported, by means of the flexible strip which is capable of being placed in abutment on a shoulder of the wearer, the board being suspended vertically, its longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the ground, and so that said zones of the wafer are in abutment on adjustable flexible links. The adjustable flexible links being spaced from one another the support zones are also, so that the board is carried stably without risk of tipping.
De plus, le réglage des liens flexibles réglables permet notamment d'adapter la distance séparant les deux pièces flexibles à l'épaisseur de la planche à transporter. En outre, dans certains cas où plusieurs planches sont insérées entre les pièces flexibles pour les transporter, les liens flexibles réglables sont réglés de façon à espacer les deux pièces flexibles l'une de l'autre.In addition, the adjustment of the adjustable flexible links makes it possible in particular to adapt the distance separating the two flexible parts to the thickness of the board to be transported. In addition, in certain cases where several boards are inserted between the flexible parts for transporting them, the adjustable flexible links are adjusted so as to space the two flexible parts from one another.
De façon préférentielle, lesdits seconds points de liaison sont situés entre les projections desdits premiers points de liaison sur ledit second bord, perpendiculairement à la ligne coupant lesdits premiers points de liaison. De la sorte, chaque premier point de liaison et respectivement second point de liaison lui étant le plus proche, sur le bord opposé, sont susceptibles d'être sensiblement alignés avec le point d'appui de la bande flexible sur l'épaule. Ainsi, durant le portage de la planche, les liens flexibles réglables sur lesquels la tranche repose et le point d'appui sur l'épaule forment sensiblement un triangle, ce qui permet d'obtenir une répartition équilibrée des contraintes sur les pièces flexibles et un bon équilibre de l'ensemble sur l'épaule du porteur. Selon un mode de mise en œuvre de l'invention particulièrement avantageux lesdits deux premiers bords desdites pièces flexibles sont reliés ensemble par trois liens flexibles réglables en trois premiers points de liaison espacés les uns des autres, deux premiers points de liaison extérieurs et un premier point de liaison médian situé entre lesdits deux premiers points de liaison, lesdits trois liens flexibles réglables étant réglés pour constituer trois appuis à trois zones de la tranche de la partie médiane de ladite planche de surf. Ainsi, la répartition du poids de la planche se fait sur trois liens flexibles réglables et se répercute sur trois points de liaison, ce qui diminue les contraintes sur chacun d'eux. Pour ce faire, et de façon à obtenir trois points d'appui équivalents, compte tenu de la forme incurvée des bords formant tranches, il est nécessaire de régler les trois liens flexibles réglables de façon que les points de liaison extérieurs des deux pièces flexibles soient espacés l'un de l'autre d'une distance inférieure à celle qui sépare les points de liaison médians des deux pièces flexibles.Preferably, said second connection points are located between the projections of said first connection points on said second edge, perpendicular to the line intersecting said first connection points. In this way, each first connection point and respectively second connection point being the closest to it, on the opposite edge, are capable of being substantially aligned with the fulcrum of the flexible strip on the shoulder. Thus, during the carrying of the board, the adjustable flexible links on which the edge rests and the fulcrum on the shoulder substantially form a triangle, which makes it possible to obtain a balanced distribution of the stresses on the flexible parts and a good overall balance on the wearer's shoulder. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, said first two edges of said flexible parts are connected together by three flexible links adjustable at three first connection points spaced from one another, two first external connection points and a first point median link located between said first two connecting points, said three adjustable flexible links being adjusted to form three supports in three areas of the edge of the middle part of said surfboard. So the weight distribution of the board is done on three adjustable flexible links and affects three connection points, which reduces the stresses on each of them. To do this, and in order to obtain three equivalent support points, taking into account the curved shape of the edges forming slices, it is necessary to adjust the three adjustable flexible links so that the external connection points of the two flexible parts are spaced from each other by a distance less than that which separates the median connecting points of the two flexible parts.
Avantageusement, chacun desdits deux seconds points de liaison est respectivement situé entre les projections dudit premier point de liaison médian et chacun desdits deux premiers points de liaison extérieurs sur ledit second bord perpendiculairement à la ligne coupant sensiblement lesdits trois premiers points de liaison. De la sorte, en position de portage de la planche, les premiers points de liaison médians des deux pièces sont susceptibles d'être situés sensiblement à l'aplomb dudit point d'appui de la bande flexible sur l'épaule et les. premiers points de liaison externes de chaque côté desdits premiers points de liaison médians. Ainsi, selon cette configuration avantageuse, en ayant pris soin d'installer la planche dans le dispositif de portage de façon que son centre d'inertie soit situé à l'aplomb dudit point d'appui de la bande flexible sur l'épaule, le dispositif est parfaitement solidaire de la planche et son transport est effectué sans difficulté sans risque de basculement.Advantageously, each of said two second connecting points is respectively located between the projections of said first median connecting point and each of said two outer first connecting points on said second edge perpendicular to the line substantially intersecting said first three connecting points. In this way, in the carrying position of the board, the first median connection points of the two parts are capable of being located substantially perpendicular to said fulcrum of the flexible band on the shoulder and the. first external connecting points on each side of said first middle connecting points. Thus, according to this advantageous configuration, having taken care to install the board in the carrying device so that its center of inertia is located directly above said fulcrum of the flexible strip on the shoulder, the device is perfectly secured to the board and its transport is carried out without difficulty without risk of tipping.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention lesdites pièces flexibles comportent des bandes de renfort sensiblement longitudinales, reliant lesdits premiers points de liaison desdits premiers bords et lesdits seconds points de liaison des seconds bords. Les bandes de renfort sont solidaires de la paroi des pièces flexibles, de sorte qu'elles compensent les contraintes longitudinales qui s'exercent sur lesdites pièces flexibles entre les premiers points de liaison et les seconds points ' de liaison. Ainsi, la déformation des pièces flexibles selon le plan moyen qu'elles définissent chacune, est atténuée. De façon particulièrement avantageuse chaque pièce flexible comporte quatre bandes de renfort sensiblement longitudinales, deux bandes de renfort reliant chacun desdits deux seconds points de liaison avec ledit premier point de liaison médian et deux bandes de renfort reliant chacun desdits deux seconds points de liaison avec chacun desdits deux premiers points de liaison extérieurs respectivement le plus proche. Ainsi, les contraintes spécifiques qui s'exercent sur chacune des pièces flexibles, entre les premiers points de liaison extérieurs et respectivement leurs seconds points de liaison les plus proches, et entre le premier point de liaison médian et les seconds points de liaison, sont toutes compensées par les bandes de renfort.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said flexible parts include substantially longitudinal reinforcing strips, connecting said first connection points of said first edges and said second connection points of second edges. The reinforcement strips are fixed to the wall of the flexible parts so that they compensate for the longitudinal stresses exerted on said flexible parts between the first connection points and the second points' link. Thus, the deformation of the flexible parts according to the mean plane which they each define, is attenuated. In a particularly advantageous manner, each flexible piece comprises four substantially longitudinal reinforcement bands, two reinforcement bands connecting each of said two second connection points with said first median connection point and two reinforcement bands connecting each of said two second connection points with each of said first two external connection points respectively closest. Thus, the specific constraints which are exerted on each of the flexible parts, between the first external connection points and respectively their second closest connection points, and between the first median connection point and the second connection points, are all offset by the reinforcement bands.
Selon un mode particulier de mise en œuvre de l'invention, lesdites pièces flexibles présentent chacune deux parois opposées, une première paroi interne susceptible d'être disposée en regard de ladite planche de surf et une seconde paroi externe, et en ce qu'au moins une des parois externes comporte en outre, une pièce complémentaire dont les bords sont susceptibles d'être reliés à ladite pièce flexible pour former un réceptacle entre ladite paroi externe et ladite pièce complémentaire. Ainsi, des objets autres que la planche et de moindres dimensions, sont susceptibles d'être transportés simultanément.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, said flexible parts each have two opposite walls, a first internal wall capable of being disposed opposite said surfboard and a second external wall, and in that at at least one of the external walls further comprises a complementary piece whose edges are capable of being connected to said flexible piece to form a receptacle between said external wall and said complementary piece. Thus, objects other than the board and of smaller dimensions, are capable of being transported simultaneously.
Selon un autre mode de mise en œuvre de l'invention particulièrement avantageux, lesdits seconds bords desdites pièces flexibles présentent des moyens de liaison réversibles susceptibles de coopérer ensemble pour relier lesdits seconds bords. De la sorte, le dispositif de portage est rendu complètement solidaire de la planche, puisque les moyens de liaison réversibles sont susceptibles de s'appliquer sur le bord de la planche opposé au bord contre lequel s'appliquent les liens flexibles réglables. Et la planche peut être transportée sans risque de sortir malencontreusement du dispositif de portage. Selon encore un autre mode de mise en œuvre de l'invention, le dispositif de portage comprend deux bandes flexibles formant poignées présentant chacune deux extrémités, chacune desdites bandes flexibles étant reliée audit second bord de chacune desdites pièces flexibles par leurs extrémités en deux seconds points de liaison espacés l'un de l'autre, de façon que lesdites bandes soient susceptibles d'être réunies ensemble lorsque lesdites deux pièces flexibles sont portées en regard l'une de l'autre, la partie médiane de ladite planche de surf étant insérée entre lesdites pièces flexibles, par quoi ladite planche de surf est susceptible d'être portée, suspendue auxdites bandes flexibles, la tranche de la partie médiane de ladite planche de surf présentant deux zones en appui contre ' lesdits deux liens flexibles réglables. D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description faite ci-après de modes de réalisation particuliers de l'invention, donnés à titre indicatif mais non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :According to another particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, said second edges of said flexible parts have reversible connecting means capable of cooperating together to connect said second edges. In this way, the carrying device is made completely integral with the board, since the reversible connection means are capable of being applied to the edge of the board opposite the edge against which the adjustable flexible links are applied. And the board can be transported without risk of accidentally leaving the carrying device. According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the carrying device comprises two flexible bands forming handles each having two ends, each of said flexible bands being connected to said second edge of each of said flexible parts by their ends at two second connecting points spaced from one another, so that said strips are capable of being joined together when said two flexible parts are brought opposite l 'from each other, the middle part of said surfboard being inserted between said flexible pieces, whereby said surfboard is capable of being carried, suspended from said flexible strips, the edge of the middle part of said board surf with two zones resting against ' said two adjustable flexible links. Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge on reading the description given below of particular embodiments of the invention, given by way of non-limiting indication, with reference to the appended drawings in which:

- la Figure 3 est une vue de face selon III indiqué sur la Figure 2 montrant le dispositif de portage avec la planche de surf.- Figure 3 is a front view along III indicated in Figure 2 showing the carrying device with the surfboard.
La Figure 1 illustre le dispositif de portage formé de ses éléments constitutifs essentiels. Il comprend deux pièces flexibles 10, 12 sensiblement identiques, définissant sensiblement deux parallélogrammes rectangles, les pièces flexibles 10, 12, étant réunies par trois liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18. En outre, le dispositif comporte deux bandes flexibles 20, 22 formant poignées.Figure 1 illustrates the carrying device formed of its essential components. It comprises two substantially identical flexible parts 10, 12, defining substantially two rectangular parallelograms, the flexible parts 10, 12 being joined by three adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18. In addition, the device comprises two flexible bands 20, 22 forming handles.
Les pièces flexibles 10, 12 sont réalisées dans un textile tissé présentant des seuils importants de résistance à la traction. Le textile est également imperméable et particulièrement résistant à l'eau car il est susceptible d'être appliqué, comme on l'expliquera plus en détail dans la suite de la description, contre des planches de surf ou des flotteurs de planches à voile encore humides. Des traitements bien connus, d'enduction ou en plein bain, de ces textiles permettent d'obtenir ces propriétés vis à vis de l'eau.The flexible parts 10, 12 are made of a woven fabric having significant thresholds of tensile strength. The textile is also waterproof and particularly resistant to water because it can be applied, as will be explained in more detail in the following description, against surfboards or floats of sailboards still wet. . Well-known treatments, coating or in the full bath, these textiles make it possible to obtain these properties with respect to water.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les pièces flexibles 10, 12 sont réalisées en matières plastiques souples, de sorte qu'elles ne nécessitent aucun traitement particulier avant leur mise en œuvre. La déformabilité du matériau est nécessaire pour qu'il puisse se conformer à la surface sur laquelle il est appliqué. De façon générale, tout matériau, résistant en traction sous forme de couche relativement mince et déformable est susceptible de convenir pour la confection du dispositif. Bien évidemment, on recherchera le meilleur compromis entre l'aspect esthétique et le coût avantageux du matériau.According to another embodiment, the flexible parts 10, 12 are made of flexible plastic materials, so that they do not require any particular treatment before their implementation. The deformability of the material is necessary so that it can conform to the surface to which it is applied. In general, any material, tensile strength in the form of a relatively thin and deformable layer is likely to be suitable for making the device. Obviously, we will look for the best compromise between the aesthetic appearance and the advantageous cost of the material.
Les pièces flexibles 10, 12 présentent une longueur 24 et une largeur 26. Sur le sens de la longueur 26 elles présentent deux premiers bords 28, 30 en regard l'un de l'autre et deux seconds bords 32, 34 opposés l'un de l'autre. Les pièces flexibles 10, 12 sont reliées entre elles par les liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18 en trois premiers points de liaison 36, 38, 40, respectivement situés sur chacun des premiers bords 28, 30 des pièces flexibles 10, 12.The flexible parts 10, 12 have a length 24 and a width 26. Along the length 26 they have two first edges 28, 30 facing each other and two second edges 32, 34 opposite one the other. The flexible parts 10, 12 are interconnected by the adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18 at three first connection points 36, 38, 40, respectively located on each of the first edges 28, 30 of the flexible parts 10, 12.
Les liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18 permettent non seulement de maintenir les premiers bords 28, 30 l'un par rapport à l'autre à une distance déterminée lorsqu'on exerce une traction sur les pièces flexiblesThe adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18 not only make it possible to maintain the first edges 28, 30 relative to each other at a determined distance when traction is exerted on the flexible parts
10, 12 visant à les éloigner l'une de l'autre, mais aussi permettent l'articulation des pièces flexibles et notamment pour les disposer en regard l'une de l'autre. Les liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18 comprennent chacun deux parties : une première partie constituée d'une bande dont une extrémité est montée sur l'un des premiers bords 28, 30 et dont l'autre extrémité est libre ; une seconde partie constituée également d'une bande dont une extrémité est montée sur l'autre des premiers bords 28, 30 en regard de ladite première partie et dont l'autre extrémité comporte une boucle autobloquante dans laquelle ladite extrémité libre est susceptible d'être engagée pour être bloquée. Ainsi, la première partie et la seconde partie ' sont bloquées en translation l'une par rapport à l'autre lorsqu'elles sont entraînées en translation dans des directions opposées. De la sorte, l'extrémité des première et seconde partie étant solidaire des premiers bords 28, 30, des pièces flexibles 10, 12, ces dernières sont reliées entre elles par les liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18.10, 12 aiming to move them away from one another, but also allow the articulation of the flexible parts and in particular to arrange them opposite one another. The adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18 each comprise two parts: a first part consisting of a strip, one end of which is mounted on one of the first edges 28, 30 and the other end of which is free; a second part also consisting of a strip, one end of which is mounted on the other of the first edges 28, 30 facing said first part and the other end of which has a self-locking loop in which said free end is capable of being hired to be blocked. So the first part and the second part ' are blocked in translation relative to each other when they are driven in translation in opposite directions. In this way, the end of the first and second parts being integral with the first edges 28, 30, of the flexible parts 10, 12, the latter are connected together by the adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18.
En outre, l'extrémité libre de la première partie des liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18, est suffisamment longue pour ajuster la longueur totale des liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18 par réglage de ladite boucle autobloquante. Ainsi, la distance limite entre les deux premiers bords 28, 30 est susceptible d'être ajustée par le réglage de chacun des liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18. Comme on l'expliquera plus en détail dans la suite de la description, ils ne sont pas tous réglés de la même manière.In addition, the free end of the first part of the adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18 is long enough to adjust the total length of the adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18 by adjusting said self-locking loop. Thus, the limiting distance between the first two edges 28, 30 is capable of being adjusted by adjusting each of the adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18. As will be explained in more detail in the following description, they are not all settled in the same way.
Les première et seconde parties des liens flexibles réglables 14,The first and second parts of the adjustable flexible links 14,
' 16, 18 sont constitués d'une bande en matériau flexible de façon à assurer l'articulation et préférentiellement dans un matériau textile tissé extrêmement résistant à la traction. En particulier, les matériaux en fils de nylon tissés permettent d'obtenir des bandes très résistantes en traction. '16, 18 are made of a flexible material strip so as to ensure the joint and preferably in a woven textile material extremely resistant to traction. In particular, the materials made of woven nylon threads make it possible to obtain very tensile bands.
Bien évidemment, tout autre matériau flexible et résistant conviendrait.Obviously, any other flexible and resistant material would be suitable.
De façon particulièrement avantageuse, l'extrémité des bandes est fixée par couture sur les premiers bords 28, 30 des pièces flexibles 10,In a particularly advantageous manner, the end of the strips is fixed by sewing on the first edges 28, 30 of the flexible pieces 10,
12 sensiblement perpendiculairement auxdits bords. Ce mode de liaison est relativement simple et permet d'obtenir une liaison extrêmement résistante à un coût avantageux.12 substantially perpendicular to said edges. This connection method is relatively simple and makes it possible to obtain an extremely resistant connection at an advantageous cost.
Les pièces flexibles 10, 12 comportent en outre, des bandes flexibles 20, 22 formant poignée présentant chacune deux extrémités 42,The flexible parts 10, 12 also comprise flexible bands 20, 22 forming a handle, each having two ends 42,
44, les bandes flexibles 20, 22 étant reliées respectivement aux seconds44, the flexible strips 20, 22 being respectively connected to the second
' bords 32, 34 des pièces flexibles 10, 12 par leurs extrémités 42, 44 en deux seconds points de liaison 46, 48, espacés l'un de l'autre. Les seconds points de liaison 46, 48 sont formés sur les seconds bords 32, 34 des deux pièces flexibles 10, 12 de façon symétrique par rapport à un axe central coupant les liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18, afin que les seconds points de liaison 46 et 48 des deux seconds bords coïncident lorsque les pièces flexibles 10, 12, sont repliées l'une sur l'autre. ' edges 32, 34 of the flexible parts 10, 12 by their ends 42, 44 at two second connecting points 46, 48, spaced from one another. The second connection points 46, 48 are formed on the second edges 32, 34 of the two flexible parts 10, 12 symmetrically with respect to a central axis cutting the adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18, so that the second connecting points 46 and 48 of the two second edges coincide when the flexible parts 10, 12 are folded over one another.
Les bandes flexibles 20, 22, comportent des moyens de réglageThe flexible strips 20, 22 include adjustment means
50, de façon à pouvoir ajuster leur longueur en fonction de la taille du porteur comme on l'expliquera dans la suite de la description. En outre, selon un mode de réalisation non représenté, leurs extrémités 42, 44 sont susceptibles d'être montées par couture sur les seconds bords 32, 34.50, so as to be able to adjust their length as a function of the size of the wearer as will be explained in the following description. In addition, according to an embodiment not shown, their ends 42, 44 can be mounted by sewing on the second edges 32, 34.
De façon avantageuse, des boucles sont montées sur les seconds points de liaison 46, 48 et les extrémités 42, 44 des bandes flexibles 20, 22 comportent des mousquetons aptes à coopérer avec lesdites boucles pour les relier ensemble.Advantageously, loops are mounted on the second connection points 46, 48 and the ends 42, 44 of the flexible bands 20, 22 include snap hooks capable of cooperating with said loops to connect them together.
Le dispositif de portage tel que décrit ci-dessus présente les éléments essentiels pour remplir toutes ses fonctions. Cependant, des moyens de renfort ont été ajoutés afin d'augmenter sa longévité. Ainsi, chaque pièce flexible 10, 12 comporte quatre bandes de renfort 52, 54, 56, 58, sensiblement longitudinales. Deux bandes de renfort 54, 56 relient chacun des deux seconds points de liaison 46, 48 avec le premier point de liaison 38 médian et deux bandes de renfort 52, 58 relient chacun des deux seconds points de liaison 46, 48 avec chacun des deux premiers points de liaison 36, 40 extérieurs respectivement le plus proche.The carrying device as described above has the essential elements to fulfill all of its functions. However, reinforcing means have been added in order to increase its longevity. Thus, each flexible piece 10, 12 comprises four reinforcing strips 52, 54, 56, 58, substantially longitudinal. Two reinforcement strips 54, 56 connect each of the two second connection points 46, 48 with the first median connection point 38 and two reinforcement strips 52, 58 connect each of the two second connection points 46, 48 with each of the first two closest external connection points 36, 40 respectively.
Les bandes de renfort sont réalisées en matériau textile tissé résistant à la traction et elles sont cousues sur la paroi des pièces flexibles 10, 12.The reinforcing bands are made of woven textile material resistant to traction and they are sewn onto the wall of the flexible parts 10, 12.
On expliquera en référence aux Figures 3 et 4, la fonctionnalité des bandes de renfort 52, 54, 56, 58, ainsi que le mode d'utilisation général du dispositif de portage.Will be explained with reference to Figures 3 and 4, the functionality of the reinforcing strips 52, 54, 56, 58, as well as the general mode of use of the carrying device.
On retrouve sur la Figure 3, l'une des pièces flexibles 12 munie de la bande flexible 22 et des trois liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18. L'autre pièce flexible est située en arrière plan et n'apparaît pas sur la Figure 3. En revanche, on a représenté sur la Figure 3, une planche de surf 60 dans une position installée par rapport au dispositif de portage, la partie médiane de la planche de surf 60 étant installée dans le dispositif de portage. En référence à la Figure 2, on comprend que la planche de surf 60 est insérée entre les deux pièces flexibles 10 et 12 et que son bord inférieur 62, ou tranche, est en appui contre les liens flexibles réglables 14, 16, 18. En référence à la Figure 3, on comprend que la tranche 62 de la planche de surf 60, qui est incurvée, présente deux zones d'appui 64, 66 contre les liens flexibles réglables 18 et 14 correspondant aux deux premiers points de liaison 36, 40 extérieurs et une zone d'appui 68 contre le lien flexible réglable 16 correspondant au premier point de liaison 38 médian.We find in Figure 3, one of the flexible parts 12 provided with the flexible band 22 and the three adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18. The other flexible part is located in the background and does not appear in the Figure 3. On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows a surfboard 60 in an installed position relative to the carrying device, the middle part of the surfboard 60 being installed in the device. portage. Referring to Figure 2, it is understood that the surfboard 60 is inserted between the two flexible parts 10 and 12 and that its lower edge 62, or edge, is in abutment against the adjustable flexible links 14, 16, 18. In reference to FIG. 3, it is understood that the edge 62 of the surfboard 60, which is curved, has two bearing zones 64, 66 against the adjustable flexible links 18 and 14 corresponding to the first two connection points 36, 40 exterior and a support area 68 against the adjustable flexible link 16 corresponding to the first median connection point 38.
Ainsi, afin d'adapter le dispositif de portage à la forme incurvée de la tranche 62 de la planche de surf 60, les deux liens flexibles réglables 18 et 14 correspondant aux deux premiers points de liaison 36, 40 extérieurs, sont réglés de manière identique, c'est à dire qu'ils présentent sensiblement une même longueur. En revanche, le lien flexible réglable 16 correspondant au premier point de liaison 38 médian est réglé de façon à être plus long que les autres, afin que la zone d'appui 68 située dans la partie médiane de la tranche 62 soit en contact avec le lien flexible réglable 16 avec des contraintes équivalentes à celles qu'exercent les zones d'appui 64, 66 sur les liens flexibles réglables 18 et 14.Thus, in order to adapt the carrying device to the curved shape of the edge 62 of the surfboard 60, the two adjustable flexible links 18 and 14 corresponding to the first two external connection points 36, 40, are adjusted identically , that is to say that they have substantially the same length. On the other hand, the adjustable flexible link 16 corresponding to the first median link point 38 is adjusted so as to be longer than the others, so that the support zone 68 located in the middle part of the wafer 62 is in contact with the adjustable flexible link 16 with constraints equivalent to those exerted by the bearing zones 64, 66 on the adjustable flexible links 18 and 14.
De la sorte, on comprend que dans la position de portage, le poids de la planche de surf est également réparti sur les trois premiers points de liaison 36, 38, 40. En outre, le dispositif étant installé sur le porteur, la partie médiane des bandes flexibles 20, 22 en appui sur l'épaule, On comprend que les pièces flexibles 10, 12, sont maintenues en traction dans le sens de la largeur 26 puisque les bandes de renfort 52, 54, 56, 58, relient les premiers points de liaison 36, 38, 40 et les seconds points de liaison 46, 48.In this way, it is understood that in the carrying position, the weight of the surfboard is also distributed over the first three connection points 36, 38, 40. In addition, the device being installed on the carrier, the middle part flexible bands 20, 22 resting on the shoulder, It is understood that the flexible parts 10, 12, are held in tension in the width direction 26 since the reinforcement bands 52, 54, 56, 58, connect the first connection points 36, 38, 40 and the second connection points 46, 48.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation non représenté les pièces flexibles qui présentent chacune deux parois opposées, une première paroi interne disposée en regard de ladite planche de surf et une seconde paroi externe, sont équipées d'une pièce complémentaire en matériau textile d'une dimension sensiblement équivalente et dont les bords sont cousus à ladite pièce flexible pour former des poches ou un réceptacle entre ladite paroi externe et ladite pièce complémentaire.According to a particular embodiment, not shown, the flexible pieces which each have two opposite walls, a first internal wall disposed opposite said surfboard and a second external wall, are equipped with an additional piece of material. textile of substantially equivalent size and the edges of which are sewn to said flexible piece to form pockets or a receptacle between said external wall and said complementary piece.
En outre, selon un autre mode particulier de réalisation, non représenté, les seconds bords desdites pièces flexibles présentent des moyens de liaison réversibles, de type sangles à boucle autobloquante et/ou velcro coopérant ensemble pour relier les seconds bords.In addition, according to another particular embodiment, not shown, the second edges of said flexible parts have reversible connecting means, of the type with self-locking and / or velcro buckle straps cooperating together to connect the second edges.
De façon particulièrement avantageuse, lesdits seconds bords 32, 34 présentent des poignées secondaires 80 destinées à être réunies ensemble pour le portage du dispositif à la main.In a particularly advantageous manner, said second edges 32, 34 have secondary handles 80 intended to be joined together for carrying the device by hand.
Selon un dernier mode de réalisation de l'invention, non représenté, au moins l'un desdits premiers bords des pièces flexibles présente une boucle dans laquelle est susceptible d'être engagée une extrémité d'une ou deux bandes flexibles par l'intermédiaire de leur mousqueton, de façon à porter le dispositif sur le dos en bandoulière. According to a last embodiment of the invention, not shown, at least one of said first edges of the flexible parts has a loop in which is capable of being engaged one end of one or two flexible strips by means of their carabiner, so as to carry the device on the back over the shoulder.
