Description

DISPOSITIF SUPPORT, NOTAMMENT DE TYPE MATELAS  SUPPORT DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR OF MATTRESS TYPE
La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des dispositifs supports configurés pour constituer un support pour au moins une partie du corps d'une personne, de type matelas. The present invention relates to the technical field of support devices configured to form a support for at least a part of the body of a person, mattress type.
Arrière-plan de l'invention Background of the invention
On connaît de nombreux dispositifs supports de type matelas utilisés par exemple dans le domaine du camping ou de la randonnée qui sont légers, portatifs et pliables pour leur transport. Ces dispositifs peuvent être des matelas (auto)gonflables dans lesquels éventuellement une ou plusieurs feuille(s) de mousse est/sont insérée(s). L'inconvénient des matelas utilisant l'air comme moyen amortissant pour supporter au moins une partie du corps, est qu'ils peuvent subir une crevaison, laquelle est quasiment irréparable, en particulier si la réparation coûte aussi cher que le dispositif support. Les matelas comprenant uniquement une ou plusieurs feuille(s) de mousse sont volumineux, difficiles à compacter et donc encombrants.  Many mattress-type support devices used for example in the field of camping or hiking are light, portable and foldable for transport. These devices may be (self) inflatable mattresses in which optionally one or more sheets of foam is / are inserted (s). The disadvantage of mattresses using air as a damping means to support at least a part of the body, is that they can suffer a puncture, which is almost irreparable, especially if the repair is as expensive as the support device. Mattresses comprising only one or more sheets of foam are bulky, difficult to compact and therefore bulky.
EP 0.800.355 B1 a ainsi pour objet un matelas auto-gonflable comprenant une feuille de mousse en zigzags. Ladite feuille est obtenue en réalisant de multiples entailles dans un bloc de mousse, ledit bloc est ensuite étiré pour former des zigzags. La feuille obtenue est disposée à l'état étiré entre deux panneaux supérieur et inférieur imperméables. Ce type de matelas est volumineux et difficilement pliable, et présente en outre l'inconvénient de risque de crevaison.  EP 0.800.355 B1 thus relates to an auto-inflatable mattress comprising a zigzag foam sheet. Said sheet is obtained by making multiple cuts in a foam block, said block is then stretched to form zigzags. The resulting sheet is arranged in the stretched state between two upper and lower impermeable panels. This type of mattress is bulky and difficult to fold, and also has the disadvantage of risk of puncture.
WO 2017/005363 a pour objet un lit de camp pliable et transportable comprenant une surface de support supérieure disposée sur des éléments annulaires pliables. Une fois les éléments annulaires pliés, la surface support et les éléments annulaires pliés sont repliés les uns sur les autres, tels des pavés, puis logés dans un boîtier servant de support à une têtière. Un tel dispositif support présente l'avantage de n'être pas gonflable mais reste volumineux et lourd.  WO 2017/005363 relates to a foldable and transportable camp bed comprising an upper support surface disposed on foldable annular elements. Once the annular elements folded, the support surface and the folded annular elements are folded over each other, such as paving stones, and then housed in a housing used to support a headrest. Such a support device has the advantage of not being inflatable but remains bulky and heavy.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif support increvable puisque ne nécessitant pas de gonflage.  The present invention relates to an indestructible support device since not requiring inflation.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif support ne comprenant pas avantageusement de mousse, et offrant un confort équivalent aux matelas gonflables et/ou comprenant une ou plusieurs mousse(s) disponibles dans l'état de la technique. The present invention relates to a support device not advantageously comprising foam, and offering comfort equivalent to inflatable mattresses and / or comprising one or more foam (s) available in the state of the art.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif support configuré pour être plié et donc adopter un volume compact facilitant son transport et/ou son rangement.  The present invention relates to a support device configured to be folded and therefore adopt a compact volume facilitating its transport and / or storage.
Résumé et objet de l'invention Summary and object of the invention
La présente invention a pour objet, selon un premier aspect, un dispositif support destiné à reposer sur une surface d'appui (S) et configuré pour constituer un support pour au moins une partie du corps d'une personne, notamment de type matelas, ledit dispositif comprenant un panneau supérieur PI et un panneau inférieur P2, et plusieurs éléments intermédiaires, en particulier amortissants, disposés entre lesdits panneaux supérieur et inférieur formant ainsi une couche intermédiaire, en particulier amortissante.  The subject of the present invention is, according to a first aspect, a support device intended to rest on a bearing surface (S) and configured to constitute a support for at least a part of the body of a person, in particular of the mattress type, said device comprising an upper panel PI and a lower panel P2, and a plurality of intermediate elements, in particular damping elements, arranged between said upper and lower panels thus forming an intermediate layer, in particular damping.
Avantageusement, lesdits éléments intermédiaires, en particulier amortissants, sont des lames, en particulier longilignes, continues ou discontinues, comprenant des portions, en particulier longilignes, supérieures et inférieures, lesdites portions supérieures étant solidarisées de manière continue ou discontinue au panneau supérieur PI et lesdites portions inférieures étant solidarisées de manière continue ou discontinue au panneau inférieur P2. De plus, le dispositif support comprend un dispositif auxiliaire configuré de manière à (i) autoriser, dans une première position, le déplacement en translation du panneau supérieur PI par rapport au panneau inférieur P2; et (ii) empêcher, dans une seconde position, le déplacement en translation du panneau supérieur PI par rapport au panneau inférieur P2.  Advantageously, said intermediate elements, in particular damping elements, are blades, in particular longilinear, continuous or discontinuous, comprising portions, in particular long, upper and lower portions, said upper portions being secured in a continuous or discontinuous manner to the upper panel PI and said lower portions being secured continuously or discontinuously to the lower panel P2. In addition, the support device comprises an auxiliary device configured to (i) allow, in a first position, translational movement of the upper panel PI with respect to the lower panel P2; and (ii) preventing, in a second position, translational movement of the upper panel PI with respect to the lower panel P2.
Le panneau supérieur PI comprend un premier bord longitudinal supérieur et un second bord longitudinal supérieur.  The top panel PI comprises a first upper longitudinal edge and a second upper longitudinal edge.
Le panneau inférieur P2 comprend un premier bord longitudinal inférieur et un second bord longitudinal inférieur.  The lower panel P2 comprises a first lower longitudinal edge and a second lower longitudinal edge.
Le dispositif support selon l'invention n'est pas gonflable de sorte qu'il ne risque pas de crevaison. En outre, les lames s'étendant entre les panneaux supérieur et inférieur assurent un effet ressort et donc amortissant. Ces lames étant par définition minces, le dispositif support est léger. The support device according to the invention is not inflatable so that it does not risk a puncture. In addition, the blades extending between the upper and lower panels provide a spring effect and therefore damping. These blades are by definition thin, the support device is lightweight.
Les panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 sont respectivement dans des plans NI et N2 respectifs, lesdits plans NI et N2 étant sensiblement parallèles.  The upper panels PI and lower P2 respectively are in respective planes NI and N2, said planes NI and N2 being substantially parallel.
Les lames sont distinctes et donc indépendantes les unes des autres. Cette disposition facilite le repliage du dispositif support.  The blades are distinct and therefore independent of each other. This arrangement facilitates the folding of the support device.
On comprend par « déplacement en translation du panneau supérieur PI par rapport au panneau inférieur P2 » le déplacement du panneau PI dans le plan NI.  It is understood by "displacement in translation of the upper panel PI relative to the lower panel P2" the displacement of the panel PI in the plane NI.
En effet, si les panneaux PI et P2 peuvent se déplacer l'un par rapport à l'autre, lorsqu'un usager s'allonge sur le dispositif support, l'épaisseur de la couche intermédiaire se réduit et le dispositif support a tendance à s'écraser.  Indeed, if PI and P2 panels can move relative to each other, when a user lies on the support device, the thickness of the intermediate layer is reduced and the support device tends to to crash.
On comprend par « une lame longiligne » toute lame dont la longueur est supérieure à sa largeur.  One understands by "an elongated blade" any blade whose length is greater than its width.
On comprend par une « lame continue » toute lame dans une seule pièce.  We understand by a "continuous blade" any blade in one piece.
On comprend par une « lame discontinue » toute lame dans plusieurs pièces distinctes alignées mais disposées de manière à se comporter telle une lame continue.  A "discontinuous blade" is understood to mean any blade in several distinct parts aligned but arranged so as to behave like a continuous blade.
Dans un premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention peut avantageusement être enroulé sur lui-même.  In a first embodiment, the device according to the invention can advantageously be wound on itself.
Dans un second mode de réalisation, combinable avec le premier, le dispositif support comprend un dispositif de réduction de son encombrement configuré pour permettre le rapprochement et l'emboîtement d'au moins une partie des lames entre-elles.  In a second embodiment, combinable with the first, the support device comprises a device for reducing its size configured to allow the approximation and the interlocking of at least a portion of the blades together.
Les lames sont de préférence des pièces en matière plastique. Les lames peuvent être des pièces obtenues par extrusion-moulage ou par injection (moulage) ou encore être des pièces textiles en trois dimensions. Une lame peut ainsi être obtenue par tissage ou tricotage d'une pièce textile en trois dimensions à partir de fils, notamment en matière plastique (par exemple synthétique).  The blades are preferably plastic parts. The blades can be parts obtained by extrusion-molding or injection (molding) or be textile parts in three dimensions. A blade can thus be obtained by weaving or knitting a textile piece in three dimensions from son, in particular plastic (for example synthetic).
On comprend par matière plastique, toute matière polymérique (notamment synthétique) apte à subir une déformation importante sous l'application d'une contrainte donnée et à recouvrir sa forme initiale libérée de ladite contrainte. En particulier s'agissant des lames en matière plastique, ces dernières sont aptes à subir une déformation sous l'application d'une contrainte visant à la comprimer dans une direction F sensiblement perpendiculaire aux plans NI et N2 comprenant respectivement les panneaux supérieurs PI et P2, en particulier dans la direction F s'étendant de la portion supérieure vers la portion inférieure d'une lame. Plastic material is understood to mean any polymeric material (in particular synthetic material) capable of undergoing a large deformation under the application of a given stress and to recover its initial liberated form. of said constraint. In particular, with regard to plastic blades, the latter are capable of undergoing deformation under the application of a constraint intended to compress it in a direction F substantially perpendicular to the planes N1 and N2 respectively comprising the upper panels P1 and P2. , in particular in the direction F extending from the upper portion to the lower portion of a blade.
Ladite matière plastique est de préférence choisie dans la liste constituée par : le polyuréthane ; le polyamide, tels que le PA 6-6, le PA 6, le PA 4-6, le PA 11 ou 12 ; le polycarbonate ; le polyéthylène ; et leurs mélanges.  Said plastic material is preferably chosen from the list consisting of: polyurethane; polyamide, such as PA 6-6, PA 6, PA 4-6, PA 11 or 12; polycarbonate; polyethylene; and their mixtures.
De préférence, les lames s sont disposées côte à côte, parallèlement les unes aux autres, en particulier elles sont dans des plans longitudinaux distincts (L1 à Ln, n étant un nombre entier supérieur ou égal à 1, n correspondant au nombre total de lames) et parallèles.  Preferably, the blades s are arranged side by side, parallel to each other, in particular they are in separate longitudinal planes (L1 to Ln, n being an integer greater than or equal to 1, n corresponding to the total number of blades ) and parallel.
Le panneau supérieur PI et/ou le panneau inférieur P2 peut/peuvent être une feuille dans une matière plastique ou un panneau textile éventuellement combiné avec une feuille dans une matière plastique.  The upper panel PI and / or the lower panel P2 may be a sheet in a plastic material or a textile panel possibly combined with a sheet in a plastics material.
Le panneau textile peut être un tricot, un non-tissé ou un tissu, de préférence il s'agit d'un tricot ou d'un tissu, notamment d'un tissu.  The textile panel may be a knit, a nonwoven or a fabric, preferably it is a knit or a fabric, especially a fabric.
La feuille dans la matière plastique peut être par exemple une feuille obtenue par extrusion-calandrage d'une matière plastique telle que définie dans la présente invention.  The sheet in the plastic material may for example be a sheet obtained by extrusion-calendering of a plastic material as defined in the present invention.
Lorsque le panneau textile comprend une feuille dans une matière plastique, ladite feuille est disposée sur la face interne du panneau textile (à l'opposé de sa face externe), en regard de la couche intermédiaire comprenant les lames.  When the textile panel comprises a sheet made of a plastic material, said sheet is placed on the internal face of the textile panel (opposite its outer face), facing the intermediate layer comprising the blades.
Chaque lame, en particulier longiligne, a une portion, en particulier longitudinale, supérieure et une portion, en particulier longitudinale, inférieure solidarisées de manière continue ou discontinue (c'est-à-dire par intermittence) respectivement aux panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2.  Each blade, in particular longiline, has a portion, in particular longitudinal, upper and a portion, in particular longitudinal, lower solidarized continuously or discontinuously (that is to say intermittently) respectively to the upper panels PI and lower P2 .
Les premiers organes de solidarisation, et éventuellement les seconds organes de solidarisation, peuvent être n'importe quels organes de solidarisation connus de l'homme du métier. De préférence, les premiers organes de solidarisation, et éventuellement les seconds organes de solidarisation, sont choisis parmi : la partie mâle et la partie femelle d'une fermeture à glissière, des organes d'attache du type à crochets et à boucles par exemple ceux commercialisés sous la marque VELCRO®, des organes d'attache mâle et femelle complémentaires, notamment du type rainure et protrusion formant glissière correspondante, par exemple du type Zyploc®. The first securing members, and possibly the second securing members, may be any securing members known to those skilled in the art. Preferably, the first securing members, and possibly the second securing members, are chosen from: the male part and the female part of a slide fastener, fastening members of the hook and loop type for example those marketed under the brand name VELCRO®, complementary male and female fasteners, in particular of the groove and protrusion type forming a corresponding slideway, for example of the Zyploc® type.
Par définition, les lames sont minces et présentent une longueur Lm nettement supérieure à leur largeur lm.  By definition, the blades are thin and have a length Lm much greater than their width lm.
Lorsque les premiers, et éventuellement les seconds, organes de solidarisation, sont en position ouverte, les panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 sont en liaison par l'intermédiaire des lames longilignes.  When the first, and possibly the second, securing members, are in the open position, the upper panels PI and lower P2 are connected via the slender blades.
De préférence, les panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 présentent une longueur Lp et une largeur Ip.  Preferably, the top panels PI and lower P2 have a length Lp and a width Ip.
Les panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 comprennent également des bords avant et arrière, s'étendant entre les premier et second bords longitudinaux, de préférence dans une direction T transverse à la direction L des panneaux supérieur et inférieur, en particulier les directions T et L sont sensiblement perpendiculaires. Lesdits bords avant et arrière des panneaux PI et P2 correspondent respectivement aux bords avant et arrière du dispositif support.  The top panels P1 and lower P2 also comprise front and rear edges, extending between the first and second longitudinal edges, preferably in a direction T transverse to the direction L of the upper and lower panels, in particular the directions T and L are substantially perpendicular. Said front and rear edges of the panels PI and P2 respectively correspond to the front and rear edges of the support device.
Dans un mode de réalisation, les bords avant, et éventuellement les bords arrière, des panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 sont solidarisés ensemble, de manière amovible ou non, par exemple à l'aide d'une couture, et forment notamment les bords avant et arrière du dispositif support.  In one embodiment, the front edges, and possibly the rear edges, of the upper panels PI and lower P2 are secured together, removably or not, for example by means of a seam, and form in particular the front edges. and back of the support device.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les bords avant, et éventuellement les bords arrière, des panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2, sont solidarisés par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de bordure avant, et éventuellement d'un élément de bordure arrière, par exemple par collage, et forment notamment les bords avant et arrière du dispositif support.  In another embodiment, the front edges, and possibly the rear edges, of the top PI and lower panels P2, are secured by means of a front edge member, and possibly a rear edge member, by example by gluing, and form in particular the front and rear edges of the support device.
Les lames s'étendant dans une direction I, transverse à la direction longitudinale L, en particulier sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction L, et éventuellement sensiblement parallèle à la direction T des bords avant et arrière. Les portions supérieures et inférieures peuvent être solidarisées aux panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 par n'importe quel moyen connu de l'état de la technique, en particulier par collage ; par couture ; ou encore par une soudure, notamment une soudure thermique ou encore par ultra- sons ou haute fréquence ; ou leur combinaison. The blades extending in a direction I, transverse to the longitudinal direction L, in particular substantially perpendicular to the direction L, and possibly substantially parallel to the direction T of the front and rear edges. The upper and lower portions may be secured to the top panels PI and lower P2 by any means known from the state of the art, in particular by gluing; by sewing; or else by a weld, in particular a thermal weld or else by ultrasound or high frequency; or their combination.
De préférence, la longueur Lm des lames est comprise entre 20 cm et 120 cm, encore de préférence entre 30 cm et 100 cm, en particulier entre 40 cm et 80 cm, notamment de l'ordre de 60 cm à +/- 10 cm.  Preferably, the length Lm of the blades is between 20 cm and 120 cm, more preferably between 30 cm and 100 cm, in particular between 40 cm and 80 cm, in particular of the order of 60 cm to +/- 10 cm. .
De préférence, la largeur lm des lames, notamment correspondant sensiblement à la hauteur de leurs portions centrales (décrites notamment ci-après), est comprise entre 20 mm et 100 mm, encore de préférence entre 30 mm et 80 mm, en particulier de l'ordre de 45 mm à +/- 10 mm près, en particulier pour un nombre de lames compris entre 35 et 65.  Preferably, the width lm of the blades, in particular corresponding substantially to the height of their central portions (described in particular below), is between 20 mm and 100 mm, more preferably between 30 mm and 80 mm, in particular order of 45 mm to +/- 10 mm, in particular for a number of blades between 35 and 65.
Le nombre de lames dépend du confort et de la compacité désirés. Les lames peuvent avoir n'importe quelle forme. De préférence, au moins un premier ensemble des lames, et éventuellement au moins un second ensemble des lames, a/ont respectivement une première forme et/ou une seconde forme, la première forme et/ou la seconde forme est/sont configurée(s) en sorte que les lames du premier ensemble, et éventuellement celles du second ensemble, soient emboîtables les unes dans les autres, en particulier lorsqu'elles sont rapprochées réduisant ainsi leur encombrement dans la seconde position. Dans une variante de réalisation, les panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 comprennent des premiers et seconds bords longitudinaux, et le dispositif auxiliaire comprend des premiers organes de solidarisation supérieur et inférieur disposés selon les premiers bords longitudinaux des panneaux respectivement supérieur PI et inférieur P2 et configurés pour coopérer entre eux et solidariser de manière amovible les premiers bords longitudinaux des panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2.  The number of blades depends on the desired comfort and compactness. The blades can have any shape. Preferably, at least one first set of blades, and possibly at least one second set of blades, has respectively a first form and / or a second form, the first form and / or the second form is / are configured ) so that the blades of the first set, and possibly those of the second set, are nestable into each other, especially when they are close together thus reducing their bulk in the second position. In an alternative embodiment, the top panels PI and lower P2 comprise first and second longitudinal edges, and the auxiliary device comprises first upper and lower securing members arranged along the first longitudinal edges of the panels respectively upper PI and lower P2 and configured to cooperate with each other and removably fasten the first longitudinal edges of the upper panels PI and lower P2.
Le dispositif support selon l'invention a ainsi deux positions :  The support device according to the invention thus has two positions:
- Ladite première position, dans laquelle, les premiers bords longitudinaux supérieur et inférieur, d'une part et les seconds bords longitudinaux supérieur et inférieur, d'autre part, ne sont pas solidarisés ensemble.  Said first position, in which the first upper and lower longitudinal edges, on the one hand, and the second upper and lower longitudinal edges, on the other hand, are not secured together.
- Ladite seconde position, dans laquelle, les premiers bords longitudinaux supérieur et inférieur sont solidarisés ensemble de manière amovible par l'intermédiaire des premiers organes de solidarisation supérieur et inférieur, et éventuellement les seconds bords longitudinaux supérieur et inférieur sont également solidarisés ensemble de manière amovible par l'intermédiaire de seconds organes de solidarisation supérieur et inférieur supportés respectivement par les seconds bords longitudinaux supérieur et inférieur ; Said second position, in which the first upper and lower longitudinal edges are joined together by detachably via the first upper and lower securing members, and optionally the second upper and lower longitudinal edges are also secured together removably via second upper and lower securing members supported respectively by the second longitudinal edges upper and lower;
Dans la seconde position, les premiers, éventuellement également les seconds, bords longitudinaux supérieur(s) et inférieur(s) étant solidaires l'un de l'autre, le déplacement des panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 l'un par rapport à l'autre est empêché, ce qui permet de maintenir les lames dans leur position optimale amortissante. Les panneaux supérieur PI et inférieur P2 combinés avec les lames sont ainsi parfaitement maintenus en tension ce qui stabilise le dispositif support, et permet également de répartir uniformément la pression d'au moins une partie du corps, notamment de tout le corps en position allongée.  In the second position, the first, possibly also the second, upper (s) and lower (s) longitudinal edges being integral with each other, the displacement of the upper panels PI and lower P2 one relative to the other. the other is prevented, which keeps the blades in their optimal damping position. The upper panels PI and lower P2 combined with the blades are thus perfectly maintained in tension which stabilizes the support device, and also allows to evenly distribute the pressure of at least a portion of the body, including the entire body in the extended position.
Dans la première position, le repliage du dispositif support par enroulement sur lui-même est facilité.  In the first position, the folding of the support device by winding on itself is facilitated.
Dans une variante, le dispositif auxiliaire comprend au moins un organe d'écartement configuré de manière à s'étendre entre le bord avant et le bord arrière du dispositif support dans ladite seconde position, et ayant une longueur déterminée en sorte d'écarter et mettre en tension lesdits bords avant et arrière.  In a variant, the auxiliary device comprises at least one spacer member configured to extend between the front edge and the rear edge of the support device in said second position, and having a determined length so as to spread and put tensioning said leading and trailing edges.
De préférence, l'organe d'écartement s'étend selon une direction longitudinale Fl, sensiblement parallèle à la direction longitudinale L du dispositif support.  Preferably, the spacer member extends in a longitudinal direction F1 substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction L of the support device.
De préférence, l'organe d'écartement présente, dans la seconde position, une longueur supérieure ou égale à la distance séparant le bord avant du bord arrière du dispositif support.  Preferably, the spacer member has, in the second position, a length greater than or equal to the distance separating the front edge of the rear edge of the support device.
De préférence, l'organe d'écartement est amovible, c'est-à-dire qu'il peut être placé et retiré autant de fois que nécessaire par l'utilisateur.  Preferably, the spacer member is removable, i.e. it can be placed and removed as many times as necessary by the user.
L'organe d'écartement est de préférence disposé dans la couche intermédiaire.  The spacer member is preferably disposed in the intermediate layer.
De préférence, le dispositif support comprend un ou plusieurs organes de fixation configurés pour fixer, notamment de manière amovible, le ou les organe(s) d'écartement au panneau supérieur P et/ou panneau inférieur P2. Preferably, the support device comprises one or more fasteners configured to fix, in particular so as to the spacer (s) at the upper panel P and / or the lower panel P2.
Dans un mode de réalisation, l'organe d'écartement est une tige télescopique.  In one embodiment, the spacer member is a telescopic rod.
Avantageusement, l'usager peut ainsi plier l'organe d'écartement pour disposer le dispositif support dans la première position.  Advantageously, the user can thus fold the spacer member to arrange the support device in the first position.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif auxiliaire comprend deux organes d'écartement latéraux, c'est-à-dire disposés selon les bords longitudinaux du dispositif support, et/ou un organe d'écartement central, disposé entre les bords longitudinaux.  In one embodiment, the auxiliary device comprises two lateral spacers, that is to say arranged along the longitudinal edges of the support device, and / or a central spacer member disposed between the longitudinal edges.
Le ou lesdits organes d'écartement peut/peuvent être amovible(s), c'est-à-dire séparés des panneaux supérieur et inférieur, et des éléments intermédiaires.

Lorsque les dispositifs supports 1,30,50,90,100 sont dans la première position selon l'invention, les premiers et/ou seconds organes de solidarisation étant en position ouverte, et/ou le ou lesdits organe(s) d'écartement étant ôté(s) du dispositif support, ils peuvent être enroulés sur eux-mêmes pour leur stockage tel que cela est illustré à la figure 7 pour le dispositif support 1.  When the support devices 1.30, 50, 90, 100 are in the first position according to the invention, the first and / or second securing members being in the open position, and / or the said spacing member (s) being removed. (s) of the support device, they can be wound on themselves for their storage as shown in Figure 7 for the support device 1.
Le dispositif support 1 peut également comprendre un dispositif de réduction de son encombrement configuré pour permettre le rapprochement et l'emboîtement d'au moins une partie des lames longilignes 12 entre-elles tel que cela est illustré à la figure 8.  The support device 1 may also comprise a device for reducing its bulk configuration configured to allow the connection and the engagement of at least a portion of the elongated blades 12 between them as illustrated in FIG. 8.
Dans ce cas, au moins une partie des lames longilignes 12, dans cet exemple précis la totalité, sont montées coulissantes sur un lien 2, ledit lien 2 étant configuré en sorte qu'une traction Tr exercée sur ce lien 2 entraîne le rapprochement des lames longilignes 12, en particulier lesdites lames longilignes 12 sont agencées en sorte qu'une traction Tr sur ledit lien 2 entraîne leur emboîtement.  In this case, at least a portion of the slender blades 12, in this particular example all, are slidably mounted on a link 2, said link 2 being configured so that a traction Tr exerted on the link 2 causes the blades to move together. longilines 12, in particular said longiline blades 12 are arranged so that a traction Tr on said link 2 causes their interlocking.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 8, les lames longilignes 12 comprennent des ouvertures gauche 12c et droite 12d et un lien 2 est passé à travers la série d'ouvertures gauches 12c puis à travers la série d'ouvertures droites 12d et est agencé en sorte de former une portion de boucle 2a débouchant à l'extérieur du dispositif support 1 et préhensible par l'usager. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the elongate blades 12 comprise left 12c and right 12d openings and a link 2 is passed through the series of left openings 12c then through the series of straight openings 12d and is arranged to form a loop portion 2a opening outwardly from the support device 1 and prehensile by the user.
Le lien 2 a alors une configuration en « O ». Les extrémités libres 2b et 2c du lien 2 sont réunies, et de préférence solidarisées à l'aide d'un dispositif de coulissement et de blocage, par exemple de type tonka (non représenté).  Link 2 then has an "O" configuration. The free ends 2b and 2c of the link 2 are joined together, and preferably secured by means of a sliding and locking device, for example of the tonka type (not shown).
Le coulissement des lames longilignes 12 s'effectue selon la direction C des portions 2e et 2f du lien passant à travers les ouvertures 12c et 12d. Lorsque le dispositif support 1 est dans la première position selon l'invention, l'usager exerce une traction Tr sur le lien 2, tout en maintenant les lames longilignes 12 dans une direction opposée à la traction Tr, puis les lames longilignes 12 coulissent sur le lien 2 et viennent s'emboîter les unes dans les autres, le dispositif support 1 adopte ainsi une position très compactée.  Sliding of the slender blades 12 is effected in the direction C of the portions 2e and 2f of the link passing through the openings 12c and 12d. When the support device 1 is in the first position according to the invention, the user exerts a traction Tr on the link 2, while maintaining the slender blades 12 in a direction opposite to the traction Tr, then the slender blades 12 slide on link 2 and fit into each other, the support device 1 and adopts a very compact position.
A titre d'exemple, la longueur Lp (voir figure 2B) dans la première ou seconde position du dispositif support 1 est de l'ordre de 2 m, et avantageusement de l'ordre de 40 cm dans la troisième position compactée. Le dispositif support 1 est donc réduit d'environ 1/5 de sa longueur.  By way of example, the length Lp (see FIG. 2B) in the first or second position of the support device 1 is of the order of 2 m, and advantageously of the order of 40 cm in the third compacted position. The support device 1 is reduced by about 1/5 of its length.
La figure 9 illustre le dispositif support 50 comprenant un dispositif de réduction de son encombrement agencé dans les parties avant 51 et arrière 52 et en sorte d'obtenir le coulissement des lames longilignes avants 53 entre-elles et leur emboîtement puis le coulissement des lames longilignes arrière 54 entre-elles et leur emboîtement.  FIG. 9 illustrates the support device 50 comprising a device for reducing its size arranged in the front 51 and rear 52 parts and in such a way as to cause the sliding of the front longitudinal blades 53 to interlock with one another and their interlocking then the sliding of the elongated blades. rear 54 between them and their interlocking.
Les lames longilignes avant 53 sont montées coulissantes sur deux portions 57e et 57f d'un premier lien 57 et les lames longilignes arrière 54 sont montées coulissantes sur deux portions 58e et 58f d'un second lien 58, les premier 57 et second 58 liens étant configurés en sorte qu'une traction exercée sur chacun d'eux, tout en maintenant ou en poussant les lames longilignes 53,54 à compacter dans une direction opposée à la direction Tr, entraînent le rapprochement des lames longilignes avant 53 entre-elles dans la partie avant 51 et le rapprochement des lames longilignes arrière 54 entre-elles dans la partie arrière 52. Cette disposition facilite la traction Tr manuelle que doit effectuer l'usager comparativement au coulissement de l'ensemble des lames longilignes 12 pour le dispositif support 1 à partir d'un seul lien 2. The front slender blades 53 are slidably mounted on two portions 57e and 57f of a first link 57 and the rear slender blades 54 are slidably mounted on two portions 58e and 58f of a second link 58, the first 57 and second 58 links being configured so that a traction exerted on each of them, while maintaining or pushing the slender blades 53,54 to compact in a direction opposite to the direction Tr, cause the approximation of the slender blades before 53 between them in the front portion 51 and the approximation of the rear slender blades 54 to each other in the rear portion 52. This arrangement facilitates the manual traction Tr that must be performed by the user compared to the sliding of all slender blades 12 for the support device 1 from a single link 2.
Le premier lien 57, comparativement au second lien 58 ayant une configuration en « O », a une configuration en « U ». La configuration en « U » est représentée à des fins illustratives, la configuration en « O » étant préférée.  The first link 57, compared to the second link 58 having an "O" configuration, has a "U" configuration. The "U" configuration is shown for illustrative purposes, with the "O" configuration being preferred.
Dans la configuration en « U », les extrémités 57a et 57b du premier lien 56 sont montées en butée, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un nœud (non représenté), contre les ouvertures gauche 53c et droite 53d des lames 53.  In the "U" configuration, the ends 57a and 57b of the first link 56 are abutted, for example by means of a node (not shown), against the left 53c and right 53d openings of the blades 53.
Il est également possible que les lames 54 et les lames 53 soient agencées dans le même sens (ce qui revient à la disposition sur le dispositif 1) mais montées sur des liens 57 et 58 différents afin de faciliter le coulissement de ces dernières et améliorer la réduction de l'encombrement des lames 53,54 compactées.  It is also possible that the blades 54 and the blades 53 are arranged in the same direction (which amounts to the arrangement on the device 1) but mounted on different links 57 and 58 in order to facilitate the sliding of the latter and to improve the reducing the size of compacted blades 53,54.
Le dispositif support 110, illustré à la figure 10 sera décrit uniquement de par ses différences avec le dispositif support 1 représenté aux figures 1,4 et 8. Le dispositif support 110 comprend un lien en « O » 115 ayant deux portions de boucles 116 et 117 se projetant de la face extérieure 112 du dispositif support 110 à travers une même ouverture 113 ménagée dans ladite face externe 112. Les portions 116 et 117 sont préhensibles par l'usager, lequel exerce une traction sur ces dernières selon la direction Tr. Cet agencement facilite l'emboîtement de l'ensemble des lames 12 en une seule traction exercée sur les portions de boucles 116 et 117 sans maintenir les lames dans une direction opposée au sens de traction comme cela est le cas à la figure 9.  The support device 110, illustrated in FIG. 10, will only be described by its differences with the support device 1 represented in FIGS. 1, 4 and 8. The support device 110 comprises an "O" link 115 having two portions of loops 116 and 117 projecting from the outer face 112 of the support device 110 through a same opening 113 formed in said outer face 112. The portions 116 and 117 are grippable by the user, which exerts a traction on the latter in the direction Tr. arrangement facilitates the interlocking of all the blades 12 in a single traction exerted on the loop portions 116 and 117 without holding the blades in a direction opposite to the direction of traction as is the case in Figure 9.
La lame 120 représentée à la figure 11 comprend une série d'ouvertures 125, par exemple ayant des dimensions de l'ordre de 25 mm* 25 mm ou de 25mm * 20 mm. La lame 120, comparativement aux lames 12,33,34,53 et 54, est beaucoup plus légère. De plus, lesdites ouvertures 125 peuvent être utilisées pour passer un ou plusieurs lien(s). La lame 120 peut être utilisée en remplacement des ou en combinaison avec les lames 12,33,34,53 et 54.  The blade 120 shown in Figure 11 comprises a series of openings 125, for example having dimensions of the order of 25 mm * 25 mm or 25 mm * 20 mm. The blade 120, compared to the blades 12,33,34,53 and 54, is much lighter. In addition, said openings 125 can be used to pass one or more link (s). The blade 120 can be used in place of or in combination with the blades 12, 33, 34, 54 and 54.
