Description

VETEMENT DE PROTECTION A COUSSINS GONFLABLES AMELIORE  PROTECTIVE CLOTHES WITH IMPROVED INFLATABLE CUSHIONS
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
L'invention concerne un vêtement de protection comprenant des coussins gonflables ou airbags, qu'un utilisateur peut positionner autour de sa taille et de ses jambes pour sécuriser la pratique d'une activité dangereuse telle que la moto, le ski, ou encore l'équitation.  The invention relates to a protective clothing comprising airbags or airbags, which a user can position around his waist and legs to secure the practice of a dangerous activity such as the motorcycle, the ski, or the horse riding.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE STATE OF THE ART
On connaît déjà des vêtements de protection équipés de coussins gonflables ou airbags, utilisés par exemple pour se protéger lors de la pratique de la moto ou du ski. En particulier, des gilets de protection ont été développés, comprenant au moins un coussin gonflable sur l'avant et un autre sur le dos, pour permettre de sécuriser le thorax d'un utilisateur.  We already know protective clothing equipped with airbags or airbags, used for example to protect themselves during the practice of motorcycle or skiing. In particular, protective vests have been developed, comprising at least one airbag on the front and another on the back, to allow to secure the thorax of a user.
S'il est vrai que la majeure partie des accidents graves en deux-roues proviennent de dégâts causés à la partie supérieure du corps, ces accidents ne représentent qu'une partie minoritaire des accidents de deux-roues infligeant des dégâts à leur conducteur. En effet, 80% des accidents en deux-roues provoquent des dégâts sur la partie inférieure du corps, c'est-à-dire sur les jambes, en causant par exemple des fractures ou des luxations.  While most serious two-wheelers are caused by upper-body injuries, these accidents represent only a minority of two-wheelers' crashes that inflict damage on their drivers. Indeed, 80% of accidents on two wheels cause damage to the lower part of the body, that is to say on the legs, causing for example fractures or dislocations.
Des pantalons de protection équipés de coussins gonflables, et qui peuvent être enfilés par un utilisateur au-dessus d'un pantalon de ville, ont été proposés. On connaît par exemple les documents WO 20001 1979 et GB2352162 qui décrivent des combinaisons pour motards comprenant un gilet et un pantalon de protection, ce dernier étant muni de coussins gonflables et pouvant être enfilés par les pieds.  Protective pants equipped with airbags, which can be slipped by a user over a pair of city pants, have been proposed. For example, documents WO 20001 1979 and GB2352162 describe combinations for bikers including a vest and protective trousers, the latter being provided with airbags and being able to be threaded by the feet.
Cependant, ces pantalons ne sont pas bien accueillis par les utilisateurs du fait de la difficulté et du temps nécessaire pour les enfiler.  However, these pants are not well received by users because of the difficulty and time required to put them on.
De plus, ils constituent une tenue qui la plupart du temps se substitue à la tenue de ville d'origine, obligeant ainsi le motard à porter sa tenue de protection entre deux déplacements, pour la pratique d'autres activités, ce qui constitue un inconvénient majeur.  In addition, they constitute an outfit that most of the time replaces the outfit of city of origin, forcing the rider to wear his protective suit between two trips, for the practice of other activities, which is a drawback major.
Par ailleurs, on connaît du document US5091992 un équipement de protection fait de bandes de protection gonflables, qui peut être enfilé par-dessus la tenue de ville d'un utilisateur. Compte-tenu du grand nombre de bandes de protection à positionner, il est probable que le temps nécessaire à un utilisateur pour enfiler cet équipement soit aussi long que les pantalons décrits précédemment, et dissuadent de son utilisation. Furthermore, document US5091992 discloses protective equipment made of inflatable protection strips, which can be threaded over the outfit of a user. Given the large number of protection strips to be positioned, it is likely that the time required for a user to put on this equipment as long as the pants described above, and deter its use.
En outre, on peut constater que les coussins gonflables de tous les équipements présentés ci-avant couvrent une surface importante du corps de l'utilisateur, ceci pour en maximiser la protection. Cependant, en cas de déclenchement intempestif du gonflage des coussins, ceux-ci peuvent s'avérer gênants pour la mobilité de l'utilisateur et de fait peuvent même causer des risques d'accidents. PRESENTATION DE L'INVENTION  In addition, it can be seen that the airbags of all the equipment presented above cover a large area of the body of the user, this to maximize protection. However, in case of inadvertent triggering of the inflation of the cushions, these can be inconvenient for the mobility of the user and indeed can even cause risks of accidents. PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION
L'invention a pour but de pallier au moins en partie les inconvénients de l'art antérieur.  The object of the invention is to overcome at least in part the disadvantages of the prior art.
En particulier, un but de l'invention est de proposer un vêtement de protection qui soit simple et rapide à enfiler, et qui présente une protection améliorée de l'utilisateur.  In particular, an object of the invention is to provide a protective clothing that is simple and quick to put on, and which has improved protection of the user.
Tout en restant esthétique, ce vêtement doit pouvoir être enfilé et retiré rapidement et facilement au-dessus d'une tenue de ville pour permettre de conserver une tenue d'origine propre aux activités de la journée, et de n'être porté que lors de la pratique de l'activité dite « à risque ».  While remaining aesthetic, this garment must be able to be donned and removed quickly and easily over a street suit to allow to keep an original outfit specific to the day's activities, and to be worn only during the practice of the so-called "at risk" activity.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un vêtement de protection comprenant des coussins gonflables adaptés pour protéger l'utilisateur sans pour autant causer de risques d'accidents en cas de déclenchement intempestif de leur gonflage. Another object of the invention is to provide a protective clothing comprising airbags adapted to protect the user without causing any risk of accidents in case of inadvertent tripping of their inflation.
A cet égard, l'invention a pour objet un vêtement de protection comprenant : In this regard, the subject of the invention is a protective clothing comprising:
une ceinture, adaptée pour être positionnée autour de la taille d'un utilisateur,  a belt, adapted to be positioned around the waist of a user,
- deux jambières, chaque jambière comprenant une portion supérieure destinée à être enroulée autour d'une cuisse de l'utilisateur, une portion inférieure destinée à être enroulée autour d'un mollet de l'utilisateur, et une portion intermédiaire reliant entre elles les portions supérieure et inférieure,  - two leggings, each leg comprising an upper portion to be wrapped around a thigh of the user, a lower portion to be wrapped around a calf of the user, and an intermediate portion interconnecting portions upper and lower,
une pluralité de coussins gonflables de sécurité, et un dispositif de déclenchement adapté pour déclencher le gonflage des coussins, a plurality of air bags, and a triggering device adapted to trigger inflation of the cushions,
caractérisé en ce que la portion intermédiaire de chaque jambière comporte une échancrure adaptée pour venir en regard de l'avant du genou de l'utilisateur lorsque la jambière est en position autour de sa jambe, characterized in that the intermediate portion of each leg has a notch adapted to come opposite the front of the knee of the user when the leg is in position around his leg,
et en ce que la portion supérieure et la portion inférieure de chaque jambière comprennent chacune au moins un coussin gonflable disposé de façon adjacente à l'échancrure de la portion intermédiaire. and in that the upper portion and the lower portion of each leg each comprise at least one airbag disposed adjacent the notch of the intermediate portion.
Avantageusement, mais facultativement, le vêtement de protection selon l'invention comprend en outre au moins l'une des caractéristiques suivantes : Advantageously, but optionally, the protective garment according to the invention further comprises at least one of the following characteristics:
- chaque coussin gonflable peut être adapté pour présenter, une fois gonflé, une épaisseur comprise entre 3 et 6 cm.  - Each airbag can be adapted to present, once inflated, a thickness of between 3 and 6 cm.
- dans lequel la portion inférieure de chaque jambière peut comprendre un coussin gonflable supplémentaire disposé à l'opposé du premier par rapport au premier lorsque la jambière est en position autour de la jambe de l'utilisateur.  - In which the lower portion of each leg may comprise an additional airbag disposed opposite the first relative to the first when the leg is in position around the leg of the user.
la portion supérieure de chaque jambière peut comprendre un coussin gonflable supplémentaire positionné à distance du premier, de sorte à se trouver sur le côté extérieur de la cuisse de l'utilisateur quand la jambière est en position autour de la jambe de l'utilisateur,  the upper portion of each leg can comprise an additional airbag positioned at a distance from the first, so as to be on the outer side of the thigh of the user when the leg is in position around the leg of the user,
le coussin gonflable supplémentaire de la portion supérieure de chaque jambière peut être adapté pour présenter, une fois gonflé, une épaisseur comprise entre 3 et 8 cm.  the additional airbag of the upper portion of each leg can be adapted to have, when inflated, a thickness of between 3 and 8 cm.
les portions inférieures et supérieures de chaque jambière peuvent comprendre un dispositif de fixation choisi par le groupe consistant en : bandes de velours-crochet, et plusieurs rangées boutons pression, le dispositif de déclenchement peut comprendre une cartouche d'air comprimé, un circuit d'alimentation des coussins reliant les coussins à la cartouche, et une unité de contrôle adaptée pour commander l'ouverture de la cartouche d'air comprimé.  the lower and upper portions of each leg may comprise a fastening device selected from the group consisting of: velvet-hook strips, and several press-button rows, the triggering device may comprise a compressed air cartridge; feeding the cushions connecting the cushions to the cartridge, and a control unit adapted to control the opening of the compressed air cartridge.
le dispositif de déclenchement peut en outre comprendre au moins l'un d'un capteur de vitesse ou d'accélération, ou comprendre une interface de connexion du circuit électronique de déclenchement à un dispositif de déclenchement d'un autre vêtement de protection. the triggering device may further comprise at least one of a speed or acceleration sensor, or comprise an interface connecting the electronic trip circuit to a trigger device of another protective clothing.
Le vêtement peut présenter une échancrure adaptée pour venir en regard de l'entrejambe de l'utilisateur lorsque le vêtement est en position sur l'utilisateur.  The garment may have a notch adapted to come opposite the crotch of the user when the garment is in position on the user.
L'invention a également pour objet l'utilisation d'un vêtement de protection selon la description qui précède dans la pratique de la moto, du ski, du saut en parachute ou de l'équitation. The invention also relates to the use of a protective clothing as described above in the practice of motorcycling, skiing, parachute jumping or riding.
Le vêtement de protection selon l'invention présente une structure qui lui permet d'être mis facilement et rapidement par un utilisateur, en enroulant les portions supérieure et inférieure de chaque jambière autour respectivement de sa cuisse et de son mollet. En particulier, il n'est pas nécessaire de l'enfiler par le pied, ni de devoir ôter sa chaussure. The protective garment according to the invention has a structure that allows it to be put easily and quickly by a user, by winding the upper and lower portions of each leg around respectively his thigh and his calf. In particular, it is not necessary to put it on by the foot, nor to have to remove his shoe.
Du fait de la forme des jambières et de la disposition des coussins gonflables, une protection optimale est assurée pour l'utilisateur. En effet, la protection du genou est assurée par les coussins gonflables situés de part et d'autre de l'échancrure de chaque jambière. Une fois les coussins gonflés, le genou se trouve au fond d'un renfoncement délimité par les coussins, ce qui assure sa protection. Cependant, l'absence d'airbag au niveau du genou permet, en cas de déclenchement intempestif des coussins, de ne pas diminuer la mobilité du genou et donc de ne pas créer de raideur qui pourrait causer des accidents.  Because of the shape of the leggings and the provision of airbags, optimal protection is provided for the user. Indeed, the protection of the knee is provided by the airbags located on either side of the notch of each leg. Once the cushions inflated, the knee is at the bottom of a recess bounded by the cushions, which ensures its protection. However, the lack of airbag at the knee allows, in case of untimely triggering of the cushions, not to reduce the mobility of the knee and therefore not to create stiffness that could cause accidents.
Les autres coussins gonflables sont avantageusement positionnés sur les zones les plus susceptibles d'être touchées lors d'un accident, à savoir l'arrière du mollet et une zone située à l'arrière, et sur le côté extérieur de la cuisse.  The other airbags are advantageously positioned on the areas most likely to be touched in an accident, namely the back of the calf and a zone located at the rear, and on the outer side of the thigh.
L'épaisseur une fois gonflée de ce dernier coussin est adaptée pour ne pas empêcher de plier au moins en partie la jambe.  The inflated thickness of the latter cushion is adapted to not prevent to bend at least part of the leg.
L'entrejambe de l'utilisateur n'est pas protégé car cette zone n'est que rarement touchée lors d'un accident de deux-roues. Cette absence de protection permet en revanche de conserver le contrôle du deux-roues en cas de déclenchement intempestif des coussins. DESCRIPTION DES FIGURES The crotch of the user is not protected because this area is only rarely touched during a crash of two-wheelers. This lack of protection makes it possible, however, to maintain control of the two-wheelers in the event of inadvertent activation of the cushions. DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE D'AU MOINS UN MODE DE REALISATION DE L'INVENTION  Figures 4a to 4c schematically show several embodiments of a device for triggering the cushions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AT LEAST ONE EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
En référence aux figures 1 et 2, on a représenté un vêtement de protection 1 , pouvant être utilisé pour sécuriser un utilisateur par exemple dans la pratique du deux-roues, notamment de la moto, et également dans la pratique de l'équitation, du ski ou d'autres sports de glisse, ou encore du saut en parachute.  Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a protective clothing 1, which can be used to secure a user for example in the practice of two-wheelers, including the motorcycle, and also in the practice of riding, riding. skiing or other sports, or skydiving.
Ce vêtement de protection 1 prend la forme d'un pantalon, ou plus précisément d'un sur-pantalon, c'est-à-dire qu'il est de préférence mis au-dessus du pantalon d'un utilisateur.  This protective clothing 1 takes the form of pants, or more precisely an over-pants, that is to say, it is preferably put on top of a user's pants.
Le vêtement de protection 1 comprend une ceinture 10 adaptée pour venir entourer la taille d'un utilisateur U, et deux jambières 20 reliées à la ceinture 10. Chaque jambière est adaptée pour entourer la jambe d'un utilisateur, et comprend notamment une portion supérieure 21 adaptée pour être enroulée autour de la cuisse, et une portion inférieure 22, adaptée pour être enroulée autour du mollet de l'utilisateur.  The protective garment 1 comprises a belt 10 adapted to surround the waist of a user U, and two leggings 20 connected to the belt 10. Each leg is adapted to surround the leg of a user, and includes in particular an upper portion. 21 adapted to be wrapped around the thigh, and a lower portion 22, adapted to be wrapped around the calf of the user.
Comme visible sur la figure 2, les portions supérieure et inférieure de chaque jambière 20 prennent donc sensiblement la forme de bandes que l'on peut enrouler autour de la jambe et refermer au moyen d'un dispositif de fermeture 29 situé aux extrémités opposées de la bande. Ceci permet de positionner le vêtement sur l'utilisateur plus facilement que s'il devait être enfilé par les pieds. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the upper and lower portions of each leg 20 thus take the form of strips that can be wound around the leg and closed by means of a closure device 29 located at the opposite ends of the leg. gang. This makes it possible to position the garment on the user more easily than if it were to be threaded by the feet.
De même, la ceinture 10 est de préférence adaptée pour pouvoir être refermée autour de la taille de l'utilisateur, et présente donc également une forme de bande munie à ses extrémités opposés d'un dispositif de fermeture 29.  Similarly, the belt 10 is preferably adapted to be closed around the waist of the user, and thus also has a band shape provided at its opposite ends with a closure device 29.
La ceinture et les jambières sont de préférence formées en un matériau textile présentant une forte résistance à l'abrasion, comme c'est le cas par exemple des textiles en fibres de polyester commercialisés sous les noms commerciaux Tergal, Dacron, Mylar (par exemple polyester de 600 deniers, le denier étant le poids en gramme d'une longueur de 9 mètres de fil de tissu), ou des textiles en fibres de polyamide commercialisés sous les noms de Nylon ou Tenax, le textile étant de préférence enduit d'un revêtement le rendant imperméable, par exemple de silicone.  The belt and the leggings are preferably formed of a textile material having a high resistance to abrasion, as is the case, for example, of polyester fiber textiles marketed under the trade names Tergal, Dacron, Mylar (for example polyester 600 denier, the denier being the weight in grams of a length of 9 meters of fabric yarn), or polyamide fiber textiles marketed under the names of Nylon or Tenax, the textile being preferably coated with a coating making it impervious, for example silicone.
Prenant pour exemple la nécessité pour la plupart des motards de s'équiper d'un pantalon de pluie, une attention particulière sera portée à un textile imperméable, avec possibilité d'avoir recours à des bandes de tissus imperméables complémentaires pouvant se dégager en cas de pluie et se fixer au vêtement au moyen de bandes de velours-crochet sur les parties visibles et exposées à la pluie. Le vêtement 1 pourra donc aussi se substituer à un pantalon de pluie pour offrir en outre une protection en matière de sécurité.  Taking as an example the need for most motorcyclists to equip themselves with rain pants, special attention will be paid to an impervious textile, with the possibility of using additional impermeable fabric strips that can be released in case of rain and attach to the garment by means of velvet-crochet bands on visible parts and exposed to rain. The garment 1 can therefore also replace a rain pants to provide further protection in terms of security.
Comme visible sur les figures 1 et 2, les portions supérieures 21 et inférieure 22 de chaque jambière sont reliées entre elles par une portion intermédiaire 23, typiquement en forme de bande. Cette portion intermédiaire 23 est conformée pour que la jambière présente une échancrure 24 en vis-à-vis de la face avant du genou de l'utilisateur une fois la jambière 20 en position sur la jambe de l'utilisateur. La bande 23 vient alors se positionner à l'arrière de l'articulation du genou.  As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the upper portions 21 and 22 of each lower leg are interconnected by an intermediate portion 23, typically strip-shaped. This intermediate portion 23 is shaped so that the leg has a notch 24 vis-à-vis the front face of the knee of the user once the leg 20 in position on the leg of the user. The band 23 then comes to be positioned at the rear of the knee joint.
De plus, chaque jambière 20 est reliée solidairement à la ceinture 10 par une bande 25 qui est conformée pour que le vêtement 1 présente une échancrure 26 en regard de l'entrejambe de l'utilisateur.  In addition, each leg 20 is integrally connected to the belt 10 by a band 25 which is shaped so that the garment 1 has a notch 26 opposite the crotch of the user.
Le vêtement 1 comprend en outre une pluralité de coussins gonflables 30, également connus sous l'anglicisme « airbag », ainsi qu'un système de déclenchement 40 (représenté en figures 3, 4a et 4b) des coussins gonflables adapté pour déclencher le gonflage des coussins dans des circonstances prédéterminées. The garment 1 further comprises a plurality of airbags 30, also known under the anglicism "airbag", and a trigger system 40 (shown in Figures 3, 4a and 4b) of the airbags adapted to trigger inflation of the cushions under predetermined circumstances.
Les coussins gonflables 30 sont positionnés judicieusement pour permettre la protection des genoux des utilisateurs. Ainsi, la portion supérieure 21 et la portion inférieure 22 de chaque jambière comportent chacune un coussin gonflable 30 disposé de manière adjacente à l'échancrure 24, deux coussins 30 se trouvant donc de part et d'autre de l'échancrure.  The airbags 30 are judiciously positioned to allow the protection of the knees of the users. Thus, the upper portion 21 and the lower portion 22 of each leg each comprise an airbag 30 disposed adjacent to the notch 24, two cushions 30 are therefore on either side of the notch.
En référence à la figure 3, ces coussins sont dimensionnés de sorte qu'une fois gonflés, leur épaisseur soit d'au moins 3 cm. En conséquence le genou se trouve dans un renfoncement d'au moins 3 cm de profondeur délimité par les coussins une fois gonflés, correspondant à l'épaisseur du coussin additionnée de l'épaisseur de la jambière du vêtement. Ce renfoncement permet d'éloigner le genou d'une surface d'impact.  Referring to Figure 3, these cushions are sized so that when inflated, their thickness is at least 3 cm. As a result the knee is in a recess of at least 3 cm deep delimited by the cushions once inflated, corresponding to the thickness of the cushion plus the thickness of the leg of the garment. This recess allows to move the knee away from an impact surface.
De plus, l'épaisseur des coussins une fois gonflés est de préférence inférieure à 8 cm pour éviter qu'un déclenchement intempestif ne génère une perte de contrôle du véhicule (par exemple dans le cas d'un choc latéral déclenchant un coussin latéral, et à la suite duquel le conducteur réussit à reprendre le contrôle du véhicule).  In addition, the thickness of the cushions when inflated is preferably less than 8 cm to prevent an inadvertent triggering generates a loss of control of the vehicle (for example in the case of a side impact triggering a side cushion, and after which the driver manages to regain control of the vehicle).
Cependant, dans le cas d'un déclenchement intempestif du gonflage des coussins 30, la mobilité de l'articulation du genou est préservée du fait de l'absence d'un coussin gonflable au niveau du genou, ce qui permet de limiter le risque d'accident consécutif à ce gonflage inopiné.  However, in the event of an inadvertent tripping of the inflation of the cushions 30, the mobility of the knee joint is preserved due to the absence of an airbag at the knee, which makes it possible to limit the risk of accident following this unintended inflation.
En outre, chaque jambière comprend de préférence deux autres coussins gonflables.  In addition, each leg preferably includes two other airbags.
Un coussin gonflable 30 se situe sur la portion inférieure 22 de chaque jambière 20, en étant positionné de manière à couvrir, et donc protéger, l'arrière du mollet de l'utilisateur lorsque celui-ci porte le vêtement. On comprend que la distance entre les deux coussins 30 de la portion inférieure 22 de la jambière pour obtenir ce résultat dépend de la taille de l'utilisateur et donc de la taille du vêtement. De manière connue en soi, on pourra proposer un vêtement présentant plusieurs tailles standardisées pour correspondre à des personnes de statures variées.  An airbag 30 is located on the lower portion 22 of each leg 20, being positioned to cover, and thus protect, the back of the user's calf when wearing the garment. It is understood that the distance between the two cushions 30 of the lower portion 22 of the leg to achieve this result depends on the size of the user and therefore the size of the garment. In a manner known per se, it will be possible to propose a garment having a plurality of standardized sizes to correspond to people of varied statures.
Un autre coussin gonflable 30 se situe sur la portion supérieure 21 de chaque jambière 20, en étant positionné de manière à couvrir, et donc protéger, une zone située sur le côté extérieur de la cuisse. Plus précisément ce coussin couvre de préférence une zone disposée sur le quart de la circonférence de la cuisse défini entre la droite et l'arrière de l'utilisateur. Ainsi ce coussin est décalé vers l'extérieur par rapport à l'arrière de la cuisse, de manière à protéger de façon optimale les utilisateurs de deux-roues. En effet, c'est cette zone, et non l'arrière de la cuisse, qui est principalement touchée en cas d'accident. Another airbag 30 is located on the upper portion 21 of each leg 20, being positioned to cover, and thus protect, an area on the outer side of the thigh. More specifically this cushion covers preferably an area disposed on the quarter of the circumference of the thigh defined between the right and the back of the user. Thus this cushion is shifted outwardly relative to the back of the thigh, so as to optimally protect users of two-wheelers. Indeed, it is this area, not the back of the thigh, which is mainly affected in case of accident.
Avantageusement, mais facultativement, ce coussin 30 est conformé de manière à présenter une épaisseur, une fois gonflé, comprise entre 3 et 8 cm. En effet, l'épaisseur doit dépasser une épaisseur minimale pour garantir la protection de la cuisse, mais ne doit pas dépasser une épaisseur maximale au-delà de laquelle l'utilisateur serait gêné pour plier sa jambe, compte-tenu de la position de ce coussin.  Advantageously, but optionally, this cushion 30 is shaped so as to have a thickness, when inflated, between 3 and 8 cm. Indeed, the thickness must exceed a minimum thickness to ensure the protection of the thigh, but must not exceed a maximum thickness beyond which the user would be embarrassed to bend his leg, given the position of this cushion.
En référence aux figures 3, et 4a à 4c, le système de déclenchement 40 des coussins gonflables comprend une cartouche d'air comprimé 41 , qui est avantageusement positionnée dans une poche de la ceinture qui est accessible par l'utilisateur, mais qui de préférence peut être fermée pour empêcher la cartouche d'en sortir.  With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4a to 4c, the air bag release system 40 comprises a compressed air cartridge 41, which is advantageously positioned in a pocket of the belt which is accessible to the user, but which preferably can be closed to prevent the cartridge from coming out.
Le système de déclenchement 40 comprend en outre un circuit d'alimentation 42 des coussins 30, reliant la cartouche 41 à chacun des coussins.  The triggering system 40 further comprises a supply circuit 42 of the cushions 30, connecting the cartridge 41 to each of the cushions.
De plus, le système de déclenchement 40 comprend une unité de contrôle 43, adaptée pour commander l'ouverture de la cartouche d'air comprimé afin que celle-ci gonfle les coussins. Cette unité de contrôle comprend avantageusement un calculateur (non représenté) de type processeur, microprocesseur ou microcontrôleur.  In addition, the trigger system 40 comprises a control unit 43, adapted to control the opening of the compressed air cartridge so that it swells the cushions. This control unit advantageously comprises a computer (not shown) of the processor, microprocessor or microcontroller type.
En référence aux figures 4a à 4c, plusieurs possibilités sont envisageables pour déclencher le gonflage des coussins. Selon une première possibilité représentée en figure 4a, le système de déclenchement comprend en outre un ou plusieurs capteurs 44, pouvant comprendre un ou plusieurs capteurs de vitesse et un ou plusieurs accéléromètres.  With reference to FIGS. 4a to 4c, several possibilities are possible for triggering the inflation of the cushions. According to a first possibility represented in FIG. 4a, the triggering system further comprises one or more sensors 44, which may comprise one or more speed sensors and one or more accelerometers.
L'unité de contrôle 43 est alors connectée aux capteurs et adaptée pour commander le gonflage des coussins en cas d'une décélération supérieure à un seuil prédéterminé, combinée ou non à une vitesse initiale avant la décélération supérieure à un autre seuil. En variante, par exemple en cas d'utilisation du vêtement lors de la circulation en deux-roues, le véhicule peut également comprendre un capteur de vitesse auquel l'unité de contrôle est connectée, avantageusement par une connexion sans fil de type Bluetooth. L'unité de contrôle peut alors déclencher le gonflage des airbags lorsque la différence entre la vitesse du véhicule et la vitesse du vêtement excède un seuil prédéterminé. The control unit 43 is then connected to the sensors and adapted to control the inflation of the cushions in the event of a deceleration greater than a predetermined threshold, combined or not with an initial speed before the deceleration greater than another threshold. As a variant, for example when the garment is used during two-wheel traffic, the vehicle may also comprise a speed sensor to which the control unit is connected, advantageously by a wireless connection type Bluetooth. The control unit can then inflate the air bags when the difference between the speed of the vehicle and the speed of the garment exceeds a predetermined threshold.
En variante représentée en figure 4b, dans le cas d'une utilisation du vêtement lors de la circulation en deux-roues, le vêtement peut comprendre un câble de connexion 45 au véhicule qui est connecté à l'unité de contrôle. En cas de rupture de contact ou de tension supérieure à un seuil déterminé, l'unité de contrôle peut déclencher le déclenchement des airbags.  In a variant shown in FIG. 4b, in the case of use of the garment during two-wheel traffic, the garment may comprise a connection cable 45 to the vehicle which is connected to the control unit. In the event of a break in contact or a voltage greater than a certain threshold, the control unit may trigger the release of the airbags.
Selon encore une autre variante représentée en figure 4c, le vêtement 1 peut être utilisé avec un gilet de protection, lui-même équipé de coussins gonflables et d'un système de déclenchement. Dans ce cas l'unité de contrôle 43 est avantageusement connectée au système de déclenchement du gilet par une interface de connexion 46, de préférence filaire, et reçoit dudit système les instructions de déclenchement du gonflage des coussins.  According to yet another variant shown in Figure 4c, the garment 1 can be used with a protective vest, itself equipped with airbags and a trigger system. In this case the control unit 43 is advantageously connected to the triggering system of the vest by a connection interface 46, preferably wireframe, and receives from said system the instructions for triggering the inflation of the cushions.
Afin de supporter le gonflage des coussins, les dispositifs de fermeture 29 des jambières (et possiblement de la ceinture) permettent avantageusement d'accommoder une petite variation de longueur de la bande de textile formant ces jambières, sans s'ouvrir. A cet égard, chaque dispositif de fermeture comprend de préférence des bandes de velours-crochet aux extrémités de chaque bande et adaptées pour venir en regard l'une de l'autre. In order to support the inflating of the cushions, the closure devices 29 of the leggings (and possibly of the belt) advantageously make it possible to accommodate a small variation in the length of the textile band forming these leggings, without opening. In this regard, each closure device preferably comprises velvet-hook strips at the ends of each strip and adapted to come face to each other.
En variante, chaque dispositif de fermeture peut comprendre plusieurs rangées de boutons pressions, de sorte que certains puissent se détacher lors du gonflage.  Alternatively, each closure device may comprise several rows of snaps, so that some may detach during inflation.
Enfin, on constate que même si les coussins sont gonflés, l'échancrure 26 au niveau de l'entrejambe de l'utilisateur permet de ne pas gêner l'utilisateur, notamment dans la conduite de son deux-roues dans les cas de déclenchement intempestif. Finally, it can be seen that even if the cushions are inflated, the indentation 26 at the level of the crotch of the user makes it possible not to impede the user, particularly in the driving of his two-wheeled vehicle in cases of inadvertent tripping. .
La structure du vêtement, couplée à la disposition des coussins, permet donc une protection optimale de l'utilisateur, y compris en cas de déclenchement inopiné des coussins.  The structure of the garment, coupled with the arrangement of the cushions, thus allows optimum protection for the user, including in case of unexpected triggering of the cushions.
Dans une variante avantageuse de l'invention, les échancrures pourront être élargies en minimisant les parties de vêtement afin de permettre aussi aux utilisateurs de scooters de s'équiper de ce vêtement de protection en minimisant l'encombrement qu'il induit. In an advantageous variant of the invention, the notches can be widened by minimizing the parts of clothing so as to also allow the scooters users to equip this protective clothing by minimizing the clutter it induces.
