Ce domaine n'est cependant nullement limitatif de l'invention, qui s'applique également de manière similaire à tout autre type de vêtement de protection pour lequel il peut être souhaité de disposer d'un col amovible.  A preferred field of application of the invention, which will be more particularly described in the present description, is that of ballistic protective clothing, of the type vest or bulletproof jacket. This field is however not limited to the invention, which also applies similarly to any other type of protective clothing for which it may be desired to have a removable neck.
Selon la présente invention, le terme col englobe non seulement les cols proprement dits, entourant tout ou partie du cou, tels qu'ils seront plus spécifiquement décrits dans la présente description, mais également les capuches, cagoules ou tout autre élément de protection du cou ou de la tête susceptible de se fixer de manière amovible sur l'encolure d'un vêtement.  According to the present invention, the term neck includes not only the necks themselves, surrounding all or part of the neck, as they will be more specifically described in the present description, but also the hoods, hoods or other protective element of the neck or the head capable of being fixed removably on the neck of a garment.
La présente invention s'avère tout particulièrement avantageuse dans le contexte des vêtements de protection balistique, comprenant un col s'étendant depuis l'encolure du vêtement de sorte à être apte à protéger le cou de l'utilisateur, généralement sur toute sa périphérie, et intégrant des organes de protection balistique. Dans de tels vêtements, le col est généralement relativement rigide, si bien qu'il est impossible de l'étirer suffisamment pour l'enfiler autour de la tête. Il doit donc être fixé au vêtement au moins en partie une fois que celui-ci est en place sur le corps, et donc de manière amovible. De tels cols sont généralement formés de deux parties se fixant sur l'encolure du vêtement de telle sorte qu'une partie se trouve en protection de la moitié avant du cou, et l'autre en protection de la moitié arrière. Afin d'assurer la continuité de la protection sur toute la périphérie du cou, les deux parties se rejoignent à leurs extrémités opposées.  The present invention is particularly advantageous in the context of ballistic protective clothing, comprising a collar extending from the neck of the garment so as to be able to protect the neck of the user, generally over its entire periphery, and incorporating ballistic protection elements. In such clothing, the collar is generally relatively rigid, so that it is impossible to stretch it enough to put it around the head. It must therefore be attached to the garment at least in part once it is in place on the body, and therefore removably. Such necks are generally formed of two parts attached to the neck of the garment so that one party is in protection of the front half of the neck, and the other in protection of the back half. In order to ensure continuity of protection over the entire periphery of the neck, the two parts meet at opposite ends.
Actuellement, les cols amovibles des vêtements de protection se fixent généralement au corps du vêtement par des systèmes de fixation du type fermetures à glissières. De tels systèmes sont cependant peu satisfaisants dans le domaine militaire, qui exige un haut degré de sécurité, notamment car les fermetures à glissières sont fragiles et susceptibles de se bloquer sous l'effet d'un coup exercé sur elles. Cette fragilité peut en particulier s'avérer problématique lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'ôter rapidement le vêtement pour des raisons de sécurité de l'utilisateur. Currently, removable collars of protective clothing are generally attached to the body of the garment by fastening systems of the type zippers. Such systems, however, are unsatisfactory in the military field, which requires a high degree of security, in particular because the zippers are fragile and likely to hang under the effect of a blow exerted on them. This fragility can in particular be problematic when it is necessary to remove the garment quickly for reasons of user safety.
La présente invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients des vêtements de protection à cols amovibles existants, notamment à ceux exposés ci-avant, en proposant un vêtement dont le col amovible se fixe de manière solide à un corps du vêtement, par un système de fixation fiable et résistant, qui soit facile et rapide à fixer et à détacher dans toutes les circonstances, et qui présente en outre un haut degré de protection de l'utilisateur.  The present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of protective clothing with removable collars existing, including those described above, by providing a garment whose removable collar is fixed securely to a body of the garment, by a reliable fastening system and resistant, which is easy and fast to fix and detach in all circumstances, and which also has a high degree of protection of the user.
Des objectifs supplémentaires de l'invention sont notamment que le vêtement, et plus particulièrement le col amovible, soit confortable à porter, et qu'il entrave le moins possible les mouvements de l'utilisateur, notamment les mouvements de sa tête. Additional objects of the invention include that the garment, and more particularly the removable collar, is comfortable to wear, and that it hinders the user's movements as little as possible, in particular the movements of his head.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un vêtement de protection d'une partie supérieure du corps d'un individu, qui comporte : - un corps comportant une partie ventrale se disposant au niveau d'un torse d'un utilisateur portant le vêtement, une partie dorsale opposée se disposant au niveau d'un dos de l'utilisateur, deux zones dites d'épaule reliant la partie ventrale et la partie dorsale, et une encolure se disposant autour de la base du cou de l'utilisateur, l'encolure étant ici définie, de façon classique, comme la partie supérieure du corps du vêtement, entourant la base du cou,  To this end, the invention proposes a protective clothing of an upper part of the body of an individual, which comprises: a body having a ventral portion disposed at a torso of a user wearing the garment, an opposite dorsal portion disposed at a user's back, two so-called shoulder zones connecting the ventral portion and the dorsal portion, and a neckline disposed around the user's neck base, the neckline being here defined, conventionally, as the upper part of the body of the garment, surrounding the base of the neck,
- et un col se fixant de manière amovible au niveau de l'encolure du corps du vêtement, au moyen d'un système de fixation réversible. - And a neck attaching detachably at the neck of the body of the garment, by means of a reversible fastening system.
Selon l'invention, le système de fixation réversible comporte au moins un passant disposé sur le corps au niveau de l'encolure, et au moins une patte de fixation associée fixée sur le col et apte à être insérée dans le passant et à se fixer de manière réversible, par un organe de fixation qu'elle porte sur une face interne, à un organe de fixation coopérant porté par une face dite interne du col se disposant en regard de l'utilisateur, dans une position refermée autour dudit passant, de sorte à maintenir le col assemblé au corps du vêtement dans une position dite de protection du cou de l'utilisateur, dans laquelle il s'étend depuis l'encolure à l'opposé dudit corps. Dans cette position, le col s'étend autour d'au moins une partie du cou de l'utilisateur, en protection de celle-ci, lorsque l'utilisateur porte le vêtement. According to the invention, the reversible fastening system comprises at least one passer disposed on the body at the neck, and at least one leg associated fixation fixed on the neck and adapted to be inserted into the loop and to be reversibly fixed, by a fastener that it carries on an inner face, to a cooperating fastening member carried by a so-called internal face of the neck disposed facing the user, in a closed position around said passer, so as to maintain the collar assembled to the body of the garment in a so-called position of protection of the neck of the user, in which it extends from neckline opposite said body. In this position, the neck extends around at least a portion of the neck of the user, in protection thereof, when the user wears the garment.
Dans toute la présente description, on définit de façon générale l'avant du vêtement comme le côté se disposant à l'avant du tronc de l'utilisateur portant le vêtement, c'est-à-dire du côté de son torse, et l'arrière, à l'opposé, comme le côté se disposant du côté de son dos. Plus généralement, les directions avant et arrière sont définies en référence à une telle définition du vêtement. La face interne du vêtement s'entend comme la face se disposant en regard de l'utilisateur, alors que la face externe opposée fait face à l'environnement extérieur de celui-ci.  Throughout the present description, the front of the garment is generally defined as the side at the front of the trunk of the user wearing the garment, that is to say on the side of his torso, and the 'back, the opposite, as the side standing on the side of his back. More generally, the front and rear directions are defined with reference to such a definition of the garment. The inner face of the garment is understood as the face facing the user, while the opposite outer face faces the external environment thereof.
Préférentiellement, la patte de fixation est pourvue d'au moins un organe de fixation apte à s'assembler de façon réversible à l'organe de fixation coopérant disposé sur la face interne du col, lorsque la patte est refermée autour du passant. Les organes de fixation sont de préférence du type auto- agrippant, à boucles et crochets, offrant notamment l'avantage d'une grande facilité de manipulation, et d'une capacité de libération rapide.  Preferably, the fixing lug is provided with at least one fixing member adapted to reversibly assemble with the cooperating fastening member disposed on the inner face of the neck, when the lug is closed around the passer. The fasteners are preferably of the self-gripping type, loops and hooks, offering in particular the advantage of great ease of handling, and a quick release capability.
Le système de fixation réversible du col amovible sur l'encolure du vêtement conforme à l'invention s'avère notamment tout à fait avantageux en ce qu'il permet une fixation du col sur le vêtement qui est résistante, et facile et rapide à mettre en œuvre tant pour la solidarisation du col au vêtement que pour sa désolidarisation.  The reversible fastening system removable collar on the neck of the garment according to the invention is particularly advantageous in that it allows a fixing of the collar on the garment is resistant, and easy and quick to put both for fastening the collar to the garment and for separating it.
Ce système de fixation est en outre solide, et peu sujet à détérioration, si bien que rien n'y est susceptible de ralentir la manœuvre de détachement du col permettant d'ôter le vêtement. Il ne comporte en outre aucun élément susceptible de blesser l'utilisateur. This fastening system is also strong, and not prone to deterioration, so that nothing is likely to slow down the detachment maneuver of the neck to remove the garment. In addition, it contains no element likely to hurt the user.
Selon l'invention, le col peut être configuré pour entourer toute ou partie de la circonférence du cou. Le col peut en outre être formé d'un seul élément, ou d'une pluralité d'éléments, similaires ou différents dans leur forme et/ou leurs dimensions, qui sont aptes à entourer ensemble toute ou partie de la circonférence du cou. According to the invention, the neck can be configured to surround all or part of the circumference of the neck. The neck may also be formed of a single element, or a plurality of elements, similar or different in their shape and / or their dimensions, which are able to surround together all or part of the neck circumference.
Suivant des modes de réalisation préférés, l'invention répond en outre aux caractéristiques suivantes, mises en œuvre séparément ou en chacune de leurs combinaisons techniquement opérantes.  According to preferred embodiments, the invention also fulfills the following characteristics, implemented separately or in each of their technically operating combinations.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, le système de fixation réversible comporte une pluralité de passants disposés répartis sur toute la circonférence de l'encolure, et une pluralité de pattes de fixation et d'organes de fixation coopérants disposés sur le col, chacune desdites pattes de fixation étant apte à coopérer avec un des passants. Le col peut ainsi avantageusement être solidement fixé au vêtement sur toute la circonférence de l'encolure.  In preferred embodiments of the invention, the reversible fastening system comprises a plurality of loops arranged distributed over the entire circumference of the neck, and a plurality of fastening lugs and cooperating fasteners disposed on the neck. each of said fixing lugs being adapted to cooperate with one of the loops. The neck can thus advantageously be securely attached to the garment over the entire circumference of the neck.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, visant à répondre à un objectif de l'invention qui est de fournir un degré élevé de protection de l'utilisateur, le passant est disposé sur le corps du vêtement de telle sorte que lorsque la patte de fixation est fixée à l'organe de fixation coopérant, refermée autour dudit passant, le col recouvre au moins partiellement l'encolure, dans la zone de cette dernière dans laquelle est situé le passant. Il est ainsi assuré une continuité entre le col et le corps du vêtement. Préférentiellement, le passant est disposé sur l'encolure à distance d'un bord supérieur de cette dernière, c'est-à-dire du bord destiné à être placé en vis-à-vis du cou de l'utilisateur.  According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, aimed at fulfilling an object of the invention which is to provide a high degree of protection for the user, the passer is disposed on the body of the garment so that when the leg of fixation is fixed to the cooperating fixing member, closed around said passer, the neck covers at least partially the neckline, in the area of the latter in which is located the passer. It is thus ensured a continuity between the collar and the body of the garment. Preferably, the loop is disposed on the neck at a distance from an upper edge of the latter, that is to say the edge intended to be placed vis-à-vis the neck of the user.
La patte de fixation et l'organe de fixation coopérant sont en outre configurés de telle sorte que lorsque la patte est fixée à l'organe, refermée autour du passant, le col est maintenu plaqué contre l'encolure à cet endroit.  The fixing lug and the cooperating fastening member are further configured so that when the lug is attached to the member, closed around the passer, the neck is held pressed against the neck at this point.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, le passant est disposé sur une face dite externe de l'encolure opposée à une face dite interne se disposant en regard du tronc d'un utilisateur portant le vêtement. Une telle caractéristique facilite notamment la mise en place de la patte de fixation dans le passant et sa fermeture sur elle-même, en particulier pour un utilisateur qui porte le vêtement sur lui. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the passerby is disposed on a so-called outer face of the neck opposite to a so-called internal face facing the trunk of a user wearing the garment. Such a feature facilitates in particular the establishment of the bracket in the passer and its closure on itself, in particular for a user who wears the garment on him.
Afin d'assurer un degré de protection élevé de l'utilisateur, notamment des zones particulièrement fragiles que sont l'avant et l'arrière du cou et du tronc, préférentiellement le col est apte à se fixer au corps au moins au niveau de la partie ventrale, dans une position de protection d'une zone avant du cou, et à s'étendre sur une zone supérieure de cette partie ventrale, de sorte à recouvrir celle-ci, y compris au-delà de l'encolure. De même, le col est de préférence apte à se fixer au corps au moins au niveau de la partie dorsale, dans une position de protection d'une zone arrière du cou, et à s'étendre sur une zone supérieure de cette partie dorsale.  In order to ensure a high degree of protection for the user, particularly particularly fragile areas such as the front and the back of the neck and the trunk, preferably the collar is capable of being fixed to the body at least at the level of the body. ventral portion, in a protective position of a front area of the neck, and to extend over an upper area of this ventral portion, so as to cover it, including beyond the neck. Similarly, the neck is preferably adapted to attach to the body at least at the dorsal portion, in a protective position of a rear area of the neck, and to extend over an upper area of this dorsal portion.
Dans des modes de réalisation particulièrement préférés de l'invention, le col comporte une pièce dite arrière centrale disposée entre deux pièces dites latérales du col, et reliée respectivement à chacune de ces pièces latérales par des moyens de fixation élastiquement déformables la sollicitant en rapprochement des pièces latérales. Le col est en outre configuré de sorte à être apte à se fixer au corps de façon telle que la pièce arrière centrale soit disposée au niveau de la partie dorsale dudit corps, dans une position de protection de la nuque de l'utilisateur, que les pièces latérales soient fixes sur l'encolure et que la partie supérieure de la pièce arrière centrale opposée à l'encolure soit mobile vers l'arrière, à encontre de la force exercée sur elle par les moyens de fixation élastiquement déformables. On entend ici, par mobile vers l'arrière, le fait que la partie supérieure de la pièce arrière centrale puisse être déplacée dans une direction opposée à la partie ventrale du corps du vêtement, en éloignement d'une tête de l'utilisateur portant le vêtement.  In particularly preferred embodiments of the invention, the neck comprises a so-called central rear part disposed between two so-called lateral parts of the neck, and respectively connected to each of these lateral parts by means of elastically deformable fastening means urging it in approaching side pieces. The neck is further configured to be adapted to attach to the body such that the central back piece is disposed at the back portion of said body, in a position of protection of the user's neck, that the side parts are fixed on the neck and that the upper part of the central rear part opposite the neck is movable backwards, against the force exerted on it by the elastically deformable fixing means. Here is meant, by mobile rearward, the fact that the upper part of the central rear part can be moved in a direction opposite to the ventral part of the body of the garment, away from a head of the user wearing the clothing.
De telles caractéristiques s'avèrent tout à fait avantageuses, notamment dans les domaines d'application du vêtement dans lesquels l'utilisateur est susceptible de bouger la tête vers l'arrière, et plus encore lorsqu'il est susceptible de porter un casque. En effet, la pièce arrière centrale du col fixé sur le vêtement peut librement s'incliner vers l'arrière lorsque la tête de l'utilisateur exerce une pression sur elle dans cette direction. Elle n'entrave ainsi pas les mouvements de tête vers l'arrière. Par son aptitude à suivre ainsi les mouvements de tête de l'utilisateur, elle procure à ce dernier une protection permanente de la nuque. Such characteristics are quite advantageous, especially in the areas of application of the garment in which the user is likely to move the head backwards, and more when he is likely to wear a helmet. Indeed, the central rear part of the collar fixed on the garment can freely tilt back when the head of the user exerts pressure on it in this direction. It does not interfere with head movements backwards. By its ability to follow the movements of the head of the user, it provides the latter a permanent protection of the neck.
En position dite de repos, dans laquelle la tête de l'utilisateur reste droite ou inclinée vers l'avant, la pièce arrière centrale du col est maintenue par les moyens de fixation élastiquement déformables sensiblement dans la continuité des pièces latérales.  In so-called rest position, in which the head of the user remains straight or inclined forwards, the central rear part of the neck is held by the elastically deformable fastening means substantially in the continuity of the side pieces.
Préférentiellement, les moyens de fixation élastiquement déformables sont de longueur réglable.  Preferably, the elastically deformable fixing means are of adjustable length.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la pièce arrière centrale est fixée par un bord inférieur à au moins une, de préférence aux deux, pièces latérales. Ce bord inférieur est défini comme le bord se disposant en vis-à-vis de l'encolure du vêtement. On assure ainsi que dans toutes les circonstances, il soit maintenu une continuité entre la pièce arrière centrale et les pièces latérales.  According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the central rear part is fixed by a lower edge to at least one, preferably to both, side pieces. This lower edge is defined as the edge facing the neck of the garment. It is thus ensured that in all circumstances, continuity is maintained between the central rear part and the lateral parts.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, visant à ce que cette continuité et donc la protection de la nuque de l'utilisateur soit maximale, la pièce arrière centrale recouvre une zone d'extrémité longitudinale en vis-à- vis de chacune des pièces latérales.  In preferred embodiments of the invention, so that this continuity and thus the protection of the neck of the user is maximum, the central rear piece covers a longitudinal end zone vis-à-vis each side pieces.
Préférentiellement, la pièce arrière centrale dépasse des pièces latérales à l'opposé de l'encolure, de sorte à pouvoir s'étendre sur une plus grande hauteur au niveau de la nuque de l'utilisateur, offrant par là-même une meilleure capacité de protection du cou et de la tête. Selon l'invention, cette protection est avantageusement obtenue sans que pour autant les mouvements de tête de l'utilisateur ne soient entravés.  Preferably, the central rear piece protrudes from the side pieces opposite the neck, so as to be able to extend over a greater height at the level of the nape of the user, thereby offering a better ability to protection of the neck and head. According to the invention, this protection is advantageously obtained without however the head movements of the user are hindered.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, la pièce arrière centrale et les pièces latérales comportent chacune au moins une patte de fixation et un organe de fixation coopérant, aptes à coopérer avec un passant de l'encolure du vêtement, si bien que chacune de ces pièces peut être solidement fixée à l'encolure, concourant ainsi à augmenter le degré de protection conféré par le vêtement. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the central rear piece and the side pieces each comprise at least one leg of fixation and a cooperating fastener, adapted to cooperate with a passer of the neck of the garment, so that each of these parts can be securely attached to the neck, thereby contributing to increase the degree of protection provided by the garment.
De façon tout à fait avantageuse dans le domaine d'application préféré de l'invention que sont les gilets pare-balles, le col comporte deux bandes de protection du cou, plus particulièrement une bande dite avant et une bande dite arrière, se fixant chacune à l'encolure au moyen du système de fixation réversible selon l'invention, de sorte à se rejoindre l'une l'autre au niveau de leurs parties d'extrémité longitudinales opposées, et à occuper ensemble toute la circonférence de l'encolure.  In a very advantageous manner in the preferred field of application of the invention, which is the bullet-proof vests, the collar comprises two neck protection strips, more particularly a so-called front band and a so-called rear band, each fixing to each other. at the neck by means of the reversible fastening system according to the invention, so as to join each other at their opposite longitudinal end portions, and to occupy together the entire circumference of the neck.
Pour des raisons de commodité pratique, et de sorte à assurer une protection maximale du cou au niveau des zones particulièrement fragiles que sont sa partie centrale avant et sa partie centrale arrière, la bande avant et la bande arrière se disposent et s'accrochent, au moyen du système de fixation réversible selon l'invention, de préférence respectivement au moins à l'avant et à l'arrière du vêtement.  For reasons of practical convenience, and so as to ensure maximum protection of the neck in the particularly fragile areas that are its front central portion and its rear central portion, the front band and the rear band are arranged and cling to the means of the reversible fastening system according to the invention, preferably respectively at least at the front and rear of the garment.
Pour revêtir le vêtement selon l'invention, dans le cas préféré où le col est formé de deux bandes distinctes, il est particulièrement avantageux dans le cadre de l'invention que l'utilisateur, qui est défini dans toute la présente description comme l'individu portant le vêtement, fixe tout d'abord la bande de protection arrière sur le vêtement, puis enfile celui-ci, et fixe ensuite la bande de protection avant. De même, pour se déshabiller, il lui est tout à fait aisé de détacher la bande de protection avant, puis d'ôter le vêtement, et enfin de détacher la bande de protection arrière.  For coating the garment according to the invention, in the preferred case where the neck is formed of two separate bands, it is particularly advantageous in the context of the invention that the user, which is defined throughout the present description as the individual wearing the garment, first fixed the rear protective band on the garment, then puts it on, and then attaches the front protective band. Similarly, to undress, it is quite easy to detach the front protective strip, then remove the garment, and finally detach the rear protection strip.
Suivant une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, chacune des bandes de protection du cou comporte au moins une patte de fixation et un organe de fixation coopérant, qui sont disposés sensiblement centrés sur sa longueur, et qui sont aptes à coopérer avec un passant disposé sensiblement centré au niveau de la partie avant ou au niveau de la partie arrière de l'encolure du vêtement. Chaque bande peut comporter une unique patte de fixation et/ou un unique organe de fixation coopérant, sous forme de pièces allongées s'étendant sur sa longueur. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, chaque bande comporte une pluralité de pattes de fixation et/ou d'organes de fixation coopérants, répartis à intervalles de préférence réguliers sur sa longueur. According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, each of the neck protection strips comprises at least one fixing lug and a cooperating fastener, which are arranged substantially centered on its length, and which are capable of cooperating with a passer substantially arranged centered at the front or at the back of the neckline of the garment. Each strip may comprise a single fastening lug and / or a single cooperating fastener, in the form of elongate pieces extending along its length. In other preferred embodiments of the invention, each strip comprises a plurality of fixing tabs and / or cooperating fasteners, distributed at regular intervals preferably along its length.
Pour atteindre un objectif de l'invention qui est d'assurer un degré élevé de protection de l'utilisateur, notamment par une continuité de la protection sur l'ensemble du vêtement, dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention la bande avant et la bande arrière se recouvrent l'une l'autre à au moins une de leurs parties d'extrémité longitudinales en vis-à-vis, de préférence à deux de leurs parties d'extrémité longitudinales opposées en vis- à-vis, qui se disposent de préférence au niveau des zones d'épaule du vêtement.  To achieve an objective of the invention which is to provide a high degree of protection for the user, in particular by a continuity of protection over the entire garment, in preferred embodiments of the invention the front band and the rear band overlap each other at at least one of their longitudinal end portions vis-à-vis, preferably at two of their opposite longitudinal end portions facing each other, are preferably located at the shoulder areas of the garment.
Dans une telle configuration, préférentiellement, une des bandes, de préférence la bande arrière, est munie sur au moins une de ses parties d'extrémité longitudinales, d'un passant dans lequel est apte à s'insérer la partie d'extrémité longitudinale en vis-à-vis de l'autre des bandes.  In such a configuration, preferably, one of the strips, preferably the rear band, is provided on at least one of its longitudinal end portions, with a loop in which is adapted to insert the longitudinal end portion into vis-à-vis the other bands.
De préférence encore, une des bandes, de préférence la bande arrière, est munie, sur chacune de deux parties d'extrémité longitudinales opposées, d'un passant dans lequel est apte à s'insérer la partie d'extrémité longitudinale en vis-à-vis de l'autre des bandes. More preferably, one of the strips, preferably the rear band, is provided, on each of two opposite longitudinal end portions, with a loop in which the longitudinal end portion with a screw-in -vis the other bands.
Ce ou ces passants sont notamment avantageusement formés en une matière élastique, de sorte à y faciliter l'insertion des parties d'extrémité longitudinales de la bande complémentaire.  This or these passers are particularly advantageously formed of an elastic material, so as to facilitate the insertion of the longitudinal end portions of the complementary strip.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, particulièrement adaptés à un domaine d'application du vêtement dans lequel il consiste en un gilet pare-balles, le col comporte au moins une poche interne pour la réception d'un élément de protection balistique souple.  In preferred embodiments of the invention, particularly adapted to a field of application of the garment in which it consists of a bulletproof vest, the collar comprises at least one internal pocket for receiving a ballistic protection element. flexible.

L'invention sera décrite ci-après dans le contexte particulier d'un de ses domaines d'application préférés dans lequel le vêtement est un gilet de protection balistique, destiné notamment à un usage militaire.  The invention will be described hereinafter in the particular context of one of its preferred fields of application in which the garment is a ballistic protection vest, intended in particular for military use.
Le vêtement comporte un col se fixant de manière amovible au niveau de son encolure. Ce col est formé d'au moins un élément de protection de tout ou partie du cou, cet élément pouvant présenter toute forme.  The garment has a collar that removably attaches to its neckline. This neck is formed of at least one protective element of all or part of the neck, this element may have any shape.
Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention représenté sur les figures, le col comporte deux bandes de protection 1 , 1 ', destinées à entourer ensemble le cou dans son entier. L'invention n'exclut pas pour autant que le col soit constitué d'une seule bande, destinée à entourer toute ou partie de la circonférence du cou. Les bandes 1 , 1 ' présentent chacune une forme générale allongée et sensiblement plate. Chacune présente un plan de symétrie transversal, perpendiculaire au plan des figures 1 et 2. In the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the figures, the neck has two protective strips 1, 1 ', intended to surround together the neck as a whole. The invention does not exclude that the neck consists of a single band, intended to surround all or part of the neck circumference. The strips 1, 1 'each have a generally elongated and substantially flat shape. Each has a plane of transverse symmetry, perpendicular to the plane of Figures 1 and 2.
Les bandes 1 , 1 ' sont constituées en matière textile, de façon classique pour les cols de vêtements de protection balistique à usage militaire. Elles sont formées de manière à présenter une rigidité suffisante pour se tenir dressées autour du cou lorsque le col est fixé autour de l'encolure du vêtement porté par un utilisateur.  The strips 1, 1 'are made of textile material, in a conventional manner for the collar of ballistic protective clothing for military use. They are formed so as to have sufficient rigidity to stand erect around the neck when the collar is fixed around the neck of the garment worn by a user.
Une première bande dite avant 1 est destinée à être fixée à la partie ventrale du vêtement de manière à protéger la partie avant et les parties latérales du cou de l'utilisateur portant le vêtement. Une seconde bande dite arrière 1 ' est destinée à être fixée à la partie dorsale du vêtement de manière à protéger la partie arrière et les parties latérales du cou. Les deux bandes 1 , 1 ' sont dimensionnées de sorte à se rejoindre l'une l'autre sur les côtés du cou, au-dessus de zones d'épaule du vêtement, lorsque ce dernier est porté par l'utilisateur. Ce mode de réalisation n'est cependant pas limitatif de l'invention, et on peut notamment prévoir dans le cadre de l'invention que les bandes puissent être fixées chacune au niveau d'une zone d'épaule du vêtement, de sorte à se rejoindre l'une l'autre au niveau de l'avant et de l'arrière du cou.  A first so-called front band 1 is intended to be fixed to the ventral part of the garment so as to protect the front part and the side parts of the neck of the user wearing the garment. A second so-called rear band 1 'is intended to be fixed to the dorsal part of the garment so as to protect the rear part and the lateral parts of the neck. The two strips 1, 1 'are dimensioned so as to meet each other on the sides of the neck, above the shoulder areas of the garment, when the latter is worn by the user. This embodiment is not, however, limiting of the invention, and it may be provided in the context of the invention that the strips may be each fixed at a shoulder zone of the garment, so that join each other at the front and back of the neck.
Au niveau de la partie centrale 4, 4' de chaque bande 1 , 1 ', le bord longitudinal inférieur 2, 2' de la bande 1 , 1 ', destiné à être disposé du côté de l'encolure du vêtement, est incurvé en direction d'un bord longitudinal supérieur 3, 3' opposé. Les bandes 1 , 1 ' sont également plus larges au niveau de cette partie centrale 4, 4'.  At the central portion 4, 4 'of each band 1, 1', the lower longitudinal edge 2, 2 'of the band 1, 1', intended to be arranged on the side of the neck of the garment, is curved in direction of an upper longitudinal edge 3, 3 'opposite. The strips 1, 1 'are also wider at this central portion 4, 4'.
Chaque bande 1 , 1 ' comporte une face interne 8,8', destinée à être disposée en vis-à-vis du cou de l'utilisateur, et une face externe 5, 5' opposée.  Each strip 1, 1 'has an inner face 8,8', intended to be arranged vis-à-vis the neck of the user, and an outer face 5, 5 'opposite.
Chaque bande 1 , 1 ' comporte de préférence au moins une poche interne, notamment pour la réception d'un élément de protection balistique souple qui est classique en lui-même. Cette poche est de préférence centrée sur la bande, de manière à occuper au moins sensiblement toute la partie centrale 4, 4' de cette dernière, qui est destinée à se disposer, selon des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, en regard des parties respectivement avant et arrière du cou. Each band 1, 1 'preferably comprises at least one internal pocket, in particular for receiving a flexible ballistic protection element which is conventional in itself. This pocket is preferably centered on the band, so as to occupy at least substantially all the part 4, 4 'of the latter, which is intended to be arranged, according to preferred embodiments of the invention, facing the respective front and rear portions of the neck.
Chacune des poches comporte une ouverture, de préférence sur une face externe 5, 5' de la bande destinée à être disposée à l'opposé du cou, montrée sur la figure 1 . Cette ouverture est fermée par des moyens de fermeture réversibles, tels qu'une fermeture à glissières 6, 6'. Elle permet d'accéder à l'intérieur de la poche pour y introduire ou en retirer tout élément souhaité, tel qu'un élément de protection balistique souple.  Each of the pockets has an opening, preferably on an outer face 5, 5 'of the strip intended to be arranged opposite the neck, shown in FIG. This opening is closed by reversible closure means, such as a slide fastener 6, 6 '. It provides access to the interior of the pocket to introduce or remove any desired element, such as a flexible ballistic protection element.
Au niveau de chacune de ses parties d'extrémité longitudinales opposées 7, une des bandes, de préférence la bande avant 1 , est légèrement évasée.  At each of its opposite longitudinal end portions 7, one of the strips, preferably the front band 1, is slightly flared.
La bande complémentaire, de préférence la bande arrière 1 ', comporte sur sa face externe 5' au moins un passant 9' disposé au niveau de chacune de ses parties d'extrémité longitudinales T. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1 , deux passants sont disposés sur chaque partie d'extrémité longitudinale 7' de la bande arrière 1 '. Ces passants présentent une hauteur suffisante pour y permettre le passage des parties d'extrémité longitudinales 7 de la bande avant 1 . Ils sont de préférence constitués en une matière élastiquement déformable, de sorte à y faciliter l'insertion de la bande avant 1 , puis à assurer un maintien solide des parties d'extrémité longitudinales 7 de la bande avant 1 contre les parties d'extrémité longitudinales 7' en vis-à-vis de la bande arrière 1 '.  The complementary strip, preferably the rear band 1 ', has on its outer face 5' at least one passer 9 'disposed at each of its longitudinal end portions T. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1 two loops are arranged on each longitudinal end portion 7 'of the rear band 1'. These loops have a height sufficient to allow the passage of the longitudinal end portions 7 of the band before 1. They are preferably made of an elastically deformable material, so as to facilitate the insertion of the band before 1, then to ensure a solid retention of the longitudinal end portions 7 of the front band 1 against the longitudinal end portions 7 'vis-à-vis the rear band 1'.
Chaque bande 1 , 1 ' est en outre munie d'au moins une patte dite de fixation 10, 10', qui s'étend depuis son bord longitudinal inférieur 2, 2', à l'opposé du bord longitudinal supérieur 3, 3'.  Each band 1, 1 'is furthermore provided with at least one so-called fastening lug 10, 10', which extends from its lower longitudinal edge 2, 2 ', opposite the upper longitudinal edge 3, 3' .
De préférence, chaque bande comporte une pluralité, par exemple cinq sur l'exemple de réalisation objet des figures, de telles pattes de fixation 10, 10', réparties sur sa longueur, dont une est de préférence sensiblement centrée sur cette longueur. L'invention n'exclut pas pour autant que l'une et/ou l'autre des bandes 1 , 1 ' ne porte qu'une seule patte de fixation de plus grande dimension, s'étendant par exemple sur la majeure partie de sa longueur. Preferably, each band has a plurality, for example five on the embodiment of the figures, such fastening lugs 10, 10 ', distributed over its length, one of which is preferably substantially centered on this length. The invention does not exclude that one and / or the other of the strips 1, 1 'carries only one bracket of larger size, extending for example over most of its length.
Sur sa face interne, visible sur la figure 2, et définie comme la face située du même côté du col que la face interne 8, 8' de la bande 1 , 1 ', chacune des pattes 10, 10' porte respectivement au moins un organe de fixation réversible 101 , 101 ', notamment du type à boucles et crochets. Un tel système de fixation est avantageusement solide et peu sujet à détériorations.  On its internal face, visible in FIG. 2, and defined as the face situated on the same side of the neck as the internal face 8, 8 'of the strip 1, 1', each of the lugs 10, 10 'respectively carries at least one reversible fastener 101, 101 ', in particular of the type with loops and hooks. Such a fastening system is advantageously strong and not subject to deterioration.
Sur sa face interne 8,8', chaque bande comporte en outre une pluralité d'organes de fixation coopérants 102, 102', qui sont disposés sur sa surface de telle sorte qu'un organe 102,102' se trouve sensiblement au même niveau que chacune des pattes de fixation 101 , 101 ' le long de la bande. Les organes 102, 102' sont de préférence disposés sur la bande à proximité de son bord inférieur 2, 2'.  On its internal face 8,8 ', each band further comprises a plurality of cooperating fastening members 102, 102', which are arranged on its surface so that a member 102, 102 'is substantially at the same level as each fixing lugs 101, 101 'along the strip. The members 102, 102 'are preferably arranged on the strip near its lower edge 2, 2'.
Les pattes de fixation 10, 10' et les organes de fixation 102, 102' coopérants sont configurés et disposés sur la bande 1 , 1 ' de telle sorte que l'organe de fixation 101 , 101 ' de chaque patte soit apte à se fixer, de manière réversible, à l'organe 102, 102' coopérant, et qu'alors la patte 10, 10' se trouve dans une position dans laquelle elle est sensiblement entièrement rabattue contre la face interne 8, 8' de la bande. The fixing lugs 10, 10 'and the cooperating fastening members 102, 102' are configured and arranged on the strip 1, 1 'so that the fixing member 101, 101' of each lug is capable of being fixed. reversibly to the cooperating member 102, 102 ', and then the tab 10, 10' is in a position in which it is substantially fully folded against the inner face 8, 8 'of the band.
De préférence, au moins une patte de fixation 10, 10' et son organe coopérant 102, 102', sont disposés au niveau de la partie centrale 4, 4' de la bande 1 , 1 '.  Preferably, at least one fastening lug 10, 10 'and its cooperating member 102, 102' are arranged at the central part 4, 4 'of the strip 1, 1'.
Sur tout son contour, chaque patte 10, 10' comporte de préférence une bordure périphérique plus épaisse, qui la rigidifie.  Over its entire contour, each leg 10, 10 'preferably comprises a thicker peripheral edge, which stiffens it.
La bande arrière 1 ' du col comporte en outre de préférence une pièce dite arrière centrale 1 1 ' et deux pièces dites latérales 12'. La pièce centrale 1 1 ' est disposée entre les pièces latérales 12'. Elle présente une hauteur supérieure à celle des pièces latérales, et elle est assemblée à ces dernières de telle sorte qu'elle en dépasse au niveau du bord supérieur 3' de la bande. Elle recouvre en outre, par ses zones d'extrémité longitudinales 1 1 1 ' opposées, la zone d'extrémité longitudinale 121 ' en vis-à-vis de chaque pièce latérale 12', comme illustré sur la figure 2. The rear band 1 'of the neck preferably further comprises a so-called central rear part 1 1' and two so-called lateral parts 12 '. The central piece 1 1 'is disposed between the side pieces 12'. It has a height greater than that of the side pieces, and it is assembled to them so that it exceeds at the upper edge 3 'of the band. It also covers, by its longitudinal end regions 1 1 1 'opposite, the longitudinal end zone 121 'facing each lateral piece 12', as illustrated in FIG. 2.
La pièce centrale 1 1 ' est reliée à chacune des pièces latérales 12' par des moyens de fixation élastiquement déformables qui la sollicitent en rapprochement des pièces latérales 12', de préférence de sorte à la maintenir plaquée contre ces dernières, plus particulièrement contre leur face externe. Ces moyens de fixation peuvent notamment se présenter sous forme de liens élastiques 1 12', visibles sur la figure 1 , reliant chacun respectivement la pièce centrale 1 1 ' à une des pièces latérales 12', à proximité du bord supérieur 3' de la bande r.  The central piece 1 1 'is connected to each of the side pieces 12' by resiliently deformable fastening means which urge it towards the side pieces 12 ', preferably so as to hold it pressed against the latter, more particularly against their face external. These fixing means may in particular be in the form of elastic links 1 12 ', visible in Figure 1, respectively connecting each central part 1 1' to one of the side parts 12 ', near the upper edge 3' of the strip r.
Au niveau du bord inférieur opposé 2' de la bande 1 ', la pièce centrale 1 1 ' est de préférence, mais non limitativement, fixée à chacune des pièces latérales 12', par exemple cousue à ces dernières.  At the opposite lower edge 2 'of the band 1', the central piece 1 1 'is preferably, but not limited to, attached to each of the side pieces 12', for example sewn to them.
La pièce centrale 1 1 ' comporte en outre de préférence une patte de fixation 10" et un organe de fixation coopérant 102", pour sa fixation à l'encolure du vêtement.  The central piece 1 1 'further preferably comprises a fixing lug 10 "and a cooperating fastening member 102" for attachment to the neck of the garment.
Le lien élastique 1 12' est assemblé d'une part à la pièce centrale 1 1 ', et d'autre part à la pièce latérale 12', par exemple par couture. Sur chaque pièce latérale, la zone d'assemblage du lien élastique à la pièce latérale est recouverte d'un fourreau 1 13', visible sur la figure 1 , la protégeant de l'environnement extérieur.  The elastic link 1 12 'is assembled on the one hand to the central piece 1 1', and on the other hand to the side piece 12 ', for example by stitching. On each side piece, the assembly area of the elastic link to the side piece is covered with a sleeve 1 13 ', visible in Figure 1, protecting it from the outside environment.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, qui ne sont pas représentés sur les figures, chaque lien élastique est associé à un système de réglage de sa longueur, qui peut être de tout type classique en lui-même, notamment auto-bloquant, qui lui permet d'être adapté à la morphologie particulière de chaque utilisateur. Une telle caractéristique garantit un maintien de la pièce centrale 1 1 ' contre les pièces latérales 12' en position normale d'utilisation, dans laquelle la tête de l'utilisateur n'est pas penchée vers l'arrière, et ce quelle que soit cette morphologie.  In preferred embodiments of the invention, which are not shown in the figures, each elastic link is associated with a system for adjusting its length, which may be of any conventional type in itself, in particular self-locking , which allows it to be adapted to the particular morphology of each user. Such a feature ensures a maintenance of the central part 1 1 'against the side parts 12' in the normal position of use, in which the head of the user is not bent backwards, and whatever this morphology.
La pièce arrière centrale 1 1 ' peut comporter, sur une face externe, une butée 1 14' pour le maintien de la bretelle d'une arme portée par l'utilisateur.The central rear part 1 1 'may comprise, on an external face, a stop 1 14 'for maintaining the ramp of a weapon carried by the user.
Ce col est destiné à être fixé de manière amovible à un vêtement de protection de type veste ou gilet. This collar is intended to be removably attached to a jacket or vest type of protective clothing.
Un exemple d'un tel vêtement conforme à l'invention est représenté sur la figure 3.  An example of such a garment according to the invention is shown in FIG.
Le vêtement comporte un corps principal 20, qui comporte lui-même une partie ventrale 21 , destinée à se disposer au niveau du torse de l'utilisateur, une partie dorsale 22, destinée à se disposer au niveau du dos de l'utilisateur, et deux zones d'épaule 23 reliant cette partie ventrale et cette partie dorsale.  The garment comprises a main body 20, which itself comprises a ventral portion 21, intended to be disposed at the torso of the user, a dorsal portion 22, intended to be arranged at the user's back, and two shoulder zones 23 connecting this ventral part and this dorsal part.
Le vêtement comporte en outre une encolure 24. Cette encolure comporte, sur une face externe 25, au moins un, de préférence une pluralité, de passants 26 répartis sur sa circonférence. Ces passants sont préférentiellement formés en une matière textile non élastique. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré objet de la figure 3, ces passants sont au nombre de huit, un tel nombre n'étant cependant nullement restrictif de l'invention.  The garment further comprises a neckline 24. This neckline comprises, on an outer face 25, at least one, preferably a plurality, loops 26 distributed over its circumference. These loops are preferably formed of a non-elastic textile material. In the preferred embodiment that is the subject of FIG. 3, there are eight such passers-by, but such a number is in no way restrictive of the invention.
Chacun des passants 26 est configuré de sorte à ce qu'une patte de fixation 10, 10' portée par le col puisse être insérée entre lui et l'encolure.  Each of the loops 26 is configured so that a bracket 10, 10 'carried by the neck can be inserted between him and the neck.
Chacun des passants 26 est en outre disposé sur l'encolure de sorte à se trouver en vis-à-vis d'une patte de fixation 10, 10' portée par le col dans une position dite opérante de ce dernier, dans laquelle le col est disposé sur le vêtement de sorte à pouvoir assurer la protection souhaitée du cou de l'utilisateur.  Each of the loops 26 is further disposed on the neck so as to be opposite a fastening tab 10, 10 'carried by the neck in a so-called operative position of the latter, in which the neck is arranged on the garment so as to provide the desired protection of the neck of the user.
Préférentiellement, l'encolure comporte au moins un passant centré sur la partie ventrale 21 , et un passant centré sur la partie dorsale 22.  Preferably, the neckline comprises at least one passer centered on the ventral portion 21, and a passer centered on the dorsal portion 22.
Les passants 26 sont de préférence disposés sur l'encolure à distance d'un bord supérieur 27 de cette dernière, par exemple à environ 1 à 2 cm de ce bord.  The loops 26 are preferably arranged on the neck at a distance from an upper edge 27 of the latter, for example about 1 to 2 cm from this edge.
Pour la fixation du col amovible sur l'encolure 24 du corps 20 du vêtement, chacune des bandes 1 , 1 ' est disposée dans sa position opérante au niveau de l'encolure, comme montré sur la figure 4. La bande avant 1 est ainsi disposée sensiblement centrée sur la partie ventrale 21 du corps 20, et la bande arrière 1 ' sensiblement centrée sur la partie dorsale 22. For fixing the removable collar on the neck 24 of the body 20 of the clothing, each of the bands 1, 1 'is disposed in its operative position at the neck, as shown in Figure 4. The front band 1 is thus disposed substantially centered on the ventral portion 21 of the body 20, and the band rear 1 substantially centered on the dorsal portion 22.
Cette disposition est réalisée de telle sorte que les pattes de fixation This arrangement is made so that the brackets
10, 10' portées par les bandes soient chacune en coïncidence d'un passant 26. 10, 10 'carried by the strips are each in coincidence of a passer 26.
Lorsque le col comporte deux bandes distinctes 1 , 1 ', la bande arrière 1 ' est de préférence assemblée en premier à l'encolure 20. A cet effet, comme montré sur la figure 4, chaque patte de fixation 10' est insérée dans le passant 26 en vis-à-vis. La bande avant 1 est ensuite positionnée au niveau de l'encolure, de sorte à être apte à venir recouvrir, par ses parties d'extrémité longitudinales 7, les parties d'extrémité longitudinales 7' respectivement en vis- à-vis de la bande arrière 1 '.  When the collar comprises two distinct bands 1, 1 ', the rear band 1' is preferably firstly assembled at the neck 20. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 4, each fastening tab 10 'is inserted into the passing 26 vis-à-vis. The front band 1 is then positioned at the neck, so as to be able to cover, by its longitudinal end portions 7, the longitudinal end portions 7 'respectively vis-à-vis the band back 1 '.
Les pattes de fixation 10 de la bande avant 1 sont également insérées dans les passants 26 en vis-à-vis.  The fixing lugs 10 of the front band 1 are also inserted in the loops 26 facing each other.
Dans une telle configuration, dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention objet des présentes figures, deux pattes de fixation 10 portées par la bande avant au niveau de ses zones d'extrémité longitudinales opposées 7 se trouvent en vis-à-vis non pas d'un passant 26, mais d'une zone d'extrémité longitudinale 7' de la bande arrière 7'. Ces pattes de fixation peuvent alors être simplement rabattues contre la face interne 8 de la bande avant 1 , de sorte à se fixer chacune contre l'organe coopérant 102 associé, et à ne pas gêner la mise en place de la bande avant 1 sur l'encolure. Ces pattes, dites d'extrémité, peuvent être utilisées pour la fixation de la bande avant 1 à l'encolure 24 lorsque l'utilisateur choisit de ne fixer sur le vêtement que cette bande avant, sans utiliser la bande arrière 1 '.  In such a configuration, in the preferred embodiment of the invention that is the subject of the present figures, two fastening lugs 10 carried by the front band at its opposite longitudinal end regions 7 are opposite one another. not a passer 26, but a longitudinal end zone 7 'of the rear band 7'. These fastening tabs can then simply be folded against the inner face 8 of the front band 1, so as to fix each against the cooperating member 102 associated, and not to hinder the establishment of the band before 1 on the 'neck. These tabs, called end, can be used for fixing the front band 1 to the neck 24 when the user chooses to fix on the garment only the front band, without using the rear band 1 '.
Une fois les pattes de fixation 10, 10' insérées dans les passants 26, chacune est rabattue contre la face interne 8, 8' de la bande 1 , 1 ' , de sorte à ce que l'organe de fixation 101 , 101 ' qu'elle porte vienne se fixer de manière réversible à l'organe coopérant 102, 102' disposé sur ladite face interne 8, 8', comme illustré sur la figure 5. Dans cette position, les bandes 1 , 1 ' sont plaquées par leur bord inférieur 2, 2', sensiblement sur toute leur longueur, contre la face externe 25 de l'encolure 24. Once the fixing lugs 10, 10 'inserted in the loops 26, each is folded against the inner face 8, 8' of the strip 1, 1 ', so that the fastening member 101, 101' it bears in a reversible manner to the cooperating member 102, 102 'disposed on said inner face 8, 8', as shown in FIG. 5. In this position, the strips 1, 1 'are plated by their lower edge 2, 2', substantially over their entire length, against the outer face 25 of the neckline 24.
Ces opérations d'assemblage du col sur le corps du vêtement sont simples et rapides à réaliser. Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite assembler le col sur le corps du vêtement qu'il porte sur lui, il lui suffit de glisser la main entre le col et son cou pour accéder aux pattes de fixation et aux passants. On obtient une fixation du col sur le vêtement solide et résistante, et ce d'autant plus que les points de fixation sont régulièrement répartis sur tout le contour de l'encolure 24. Les pattes de fixation 10, 10' étant repliées à l'intérieur du col, entre ce dernier et le cou de l'utilisateur portant le vêtement, elles sont en outre peu accessibles depuis l'extérieur, si bien que d'une part le risque d'une désolidarisation accidentelle du col est très faible, et d'autre part il est également très difficile pour un tiers malintentionné de trouver une prise facilement accessible pour désolidariser le col du reste du vêtement. Il en résulte un degré de sécurité élevé pour l'utilisateur du vêtement, qui lui assure que son cou restera bien protégé en toutes circonstances.  These collar assembly operations on the body of the garment are simple and quick to perform. When the user wants to assemble the collar on the body of the garment he wears on him, he simply slip his hand between the neck and his neck to access the brackets and passersby. A fixation of the collar is obtained on the solid and resistant garment, and all the more so that the attachment points are evenly distributed over the entire contour of the neckline 24. The fastening lugs 10, 10 'being folded back to the inside the neck, between the latter and the user's neck wearing the garment, they are also not very accessible from the outside, so that on the one hand the risk of accidental disconnection of the neck is very low, and on the other hand it is also very difficult for a malicious third party to find an easily accessible socket to separate the collar from the rest of the garment. This results in a high degree of safety for the user of the garment, which ensures that his neck will remain well protected in all circumstances.
Les opérations inverses de désassemblage du col et du corps du vêtement sont tout aussi simples et rapides à réaliser, par une manœuvre inverse.  The reverse operations of disassembly of the collar and the body of the garment are just as simple and quick to achieve, by a reverse maneuver.
Lorsque chaque bande 1 , 1 ' a été ainsi fixée à l'encolure 24 du vêtement, chaque partie d'extrémité longitudinale de la bande avant 1 est insérée dans les passants 9' de la partie d'extrémité longitudinale 7' en vis-à- vis de la bande arrière 1 ', de sorte à assembler les deux bandes l'une à l'autre. Cette opération est facilitée par l'élasticité des passants 9'. En raison de la forme évasée de ses parties d'extrémité 7, la bande avant 1 ne peut se dégager spontanément des passants 9' lors de l'utilisation du vêtement.  When each band 1, 1 'has been thus fastened to the neckline 24 of the garment, each longitudinal end portion of the front band 1 is inserted into the loops 9' of the longitudinal end portion 7 'vis-à-vis. screw of the rear band 1 ', so as to assemble the two strips to one another. This operation is facilitated by the elasticity of the loops 9 '. Due to the flared shape of its end portions 7, the front band 1 can not disengage spontaneously loops 9 'when using the garment.
Les bandes 1 , 1 ' recouvrent alors ensemble la totalité de la circonférence de l'encolure, sans aucune discontinuité tant entre elles qu'avec le corps du vêtement, comme il apparaît sur la figure 6. Elles sont solidement fixées au corps du vêtement, tant au niveau des parties ventrale 21 et dorsale 22 que des zones d'épaule 23 de celui-ci. The strips 1, 1 'then cover together the whole of the circumference of the neckline, without any discontinuity between them and with the body of the garment, as it appears in FIG. 6. They are firmly fixed to the body of the garment, both in the ventral parts 21 and dorsal 22 as shoulder areas 23 thereof.
Le col et le système pour sa fixation au corps du vêtement sont en outre configurés de telle sorte que, d'une part, chacune des bandes 1 , 1 ' recouvre respectivement la zone supérieure de l'encolure 24 en vis-à-vis, assurant ainsi une continuité du vêtement entre le corps 20 et le col 1 , 1 ', mais également, d'autre part, que chacune des bandes 1 , 1 ' recouvre, au niveau de sa partie centrale 4, 4', définie comme la pièce arrière centrale 1 1 ' pour la bande arrière 1 ', la face externe d'une large zone supérieure respectivement de la partie ventrale 21 et de la partie dorsale 22 du corps 20. Cette zone de recouvrement s'étend notamment largement au-delà de l'encolure, en direction d'un bord inférieur opposé du corps du vêtement. Il en résulte avantageusement une bonne protection des parties supérieure de l'avant et de l'arrière du tronc de l'utilisateur.  The neck and the system for attaching it to the body of the garment are furthermore configured so that, on the one hand, each of the strips 1, 1 'covers respectively the upper zone of the neckline 24 facing each other, thus ensuring continuity of the garment between the body 20 and the neck 1, 1 ', but also, on the other hand, that each of the strips 1, 1' covers, at its central portion 4, 4 ', defined as the central rear part 1 1 'for the rear band 1', the outer face of a large upper area respectively of the ventral portion 21 and the dorsal portion 22 of the body 20. This covering area extends in particular well beyond from the neckline, towards an opposite lower edge of the body of the garment. This advantageously results in good protection of the upper parts of the front and rear of the trunk of the user.
Chacune de ces parties centrales 4, 4' contient en outre de préférence, à l'intérieur de la poche interne, un élément de protection balistique souple, de sorte à assurer une continuité de protection balistique entre le col et le corps du vêtement, tant à l'avant qu'à l'arrière.  Each of these central portions 4, 4 'preferably also contains, inside the inner pocket, a flexible ballistic protection element, so as to ensure a continuity of ballistic protection between the collar and the body of the garment, both front and back.
Le vêtement muni du col amovible est représenté en vue de côté sur les figures 7 et 8, qui illustrent différentes positions d'inclinaison de la pièce arrière centrale 1 1 ' du col.  The garment with the removable collar is shown in side view in FIGS. 7 and 8, which illustrate different inclination positions of the central rear piece 1 'of the neck.
Dans une position dite normale d'utilisation, montrée sur la figure 7, la pièce arrière centrale 1 1 ' est maintenue par les liens élastiques 1 12' plaquée contre la face externe des pièces latérales 12', plus précisément des zones d'extrémité longitudinales 121 ' en vis-à-vis de ces dernières.  In a so-called normal use position, shown in FIG. 7, the central rear part 1 'is held by the elastic links 1 12' pressed against the external face of the lateral parts 12 ', more precisely longitudinal end zones. 121 'vis-à-vis the latter.
La pièce centrale 1 1 ', qui dépasse alors en hauteur des pièces latérales 12', offre un degré de protection élevé de la nuque et de l'arrière de la tête de l'utilisateur.  The central piece 1 1 ', which then exceeds the height of the side pieces 12', provides a high degree of protection of the neck and the back of the head of the user.
Lorsque l'utilisateur penche la tête en arrière, et que sa tête, ou un casque qu'elle porte, vient en appui contre la pièce centrale 1 1 ', cette dernière, qui est reliée aux pièces latérales 12' au niveau de son bord inférieur, et fixée à l'encolure 20 par sa patte de fixation 10', mais libre dans sa partie supérieure, est alors apte à s'incliner vers l'arrière en même temps que la tête, par pivotement autour d'un axe coïncidant sensiblement avec son bord inférieur, comme illustré sur la figure 8. Ce mouvement est permis par étirement des liens élastiques 1 12'. La pièce centrale 1 1 ', en s'inclinant ainsi vers l'arrière en même temps que la tête, n'entrave avantageusement aucunement les mouvements de cette dernière, et elle continue tout de même à la protéger efficacement dans toutes circonstances. When the user leans his head back, and that his head, or a helmet that it carries, bears against the central piece 1 1 ', the latter, which is connected to the side pieces 12' at its edge lower, and set the neck 20 by its fixing lug 10 ', but free in its upper part, is then able to tilt backward at the same time as the head, by pivoting about an axis substantially coinciding with its lower edge as shown in FIG. 8. This movement is permitted by stretching the elastic links 1 12 '. The central piece 1 1 ', thus tilting backwards at the same time as the head, advantageously does not hinder the movements of the latter, and still continues to protect it effectively in all circumstances.
Lorsque l'utilisateur ramène la tête vers l'avant, la pièce centrale 1 1 ' est automatiquement ramenée vers les pièces latérales 12', par les liens élastiques 1 12'.  When the user returns the head forward, the central piece 1 1 'is automatically returned to the side pieces 12', by the elastic links 1 12 '.
La nuque et l'arrière de la tête de l'utilisateur sont ainsi protégés en permanence de façon efficace, et l'utilisateur n'est jamais gêné dans ses mouvements.  The neck and the back of the head of the user are thus permanently protected effectively, and the user is never embarrassed in his movements.
La description ci-avant illustre clairement que par ses différentes caractéristiques et leurs avantages, la présente invention atteint les objectifs qu'elle s'était fixés. En particulier, elle fournit un vêtement de protection comportant un col amovible qui se fixe solidement sur le vêtement, qui est simple et rapide à assembler et à détacher, grâce à un système de fixation réversible qui est en outre résistant aux détériorations et qui ne comporte aucun élément susceptible de blesser l'utilisateur. Ce vêtement ne présente avantageusement aucune discontinuité de la protection qu'il confère, notamment au niveau du col amovible. Ce dernier n'entrave pas les mouvements de tête de l'utilisateur, et il est confortable d'utilisation.  The above description clearly illustrates that by its different characteristics and advantages, the present invention achieves the objectives it has set for itself. In particular, it provides a protective garment having a removable collar that attaches securely to the garment, which is quick and easy to assemble and detach, thanks to a reversible fastening system which is also resistant to deterioration and which does not include no element likely to hurt the user. This garment advantageously has no discontinuity of the protection it confers, especially at the level of the removable collar. The latter does not hinder the user's head movements, and is comfortable to use.
