Definitions

  • the invention relates firstly to a protective shell combining anti-abrasion, anti-perforation and anti-tear properties, and also flexibility, for adapting it to the outer shape of an object to be protected or to the morphology of the wearer of a garment, in addition to the various movements he is likely to make for the practice of a physical, sports or industrial activity in particular.
  • the invention also relates to a protective cover provided with such a shell, in particular for all types of object liable to require such protection, and in particular office equipment, such as a laptop computer, PDA, etc., or sports equipment, such as for example a snowboard, a float (sailboard, surfboard), etc.
  • office equipment such as a laptop computer, PDA, etc.
  • sports equipment such as for example a snowboard, a float (sailboard, surfboard), etc.
  • a protective garment provided with such a shell, but also with other elements, in particular impact damping elements, the garments being more particularly suitable for use in the area of sports and leisure activities, but also in the industrial world, in the area of safety and transportation.
  • such elements are devoid of a protective shell in order to recover flexibility.
  • experience shows that they are insufficiently effective (impact and anti-abrasion), particularly for the practice of skiing or motorcycling.
  • garments incorporating damping elements at the vulnerable zones are distributed in the zones called “risk zones”, for example the shoulders, elbows, knees. They consist for example of two layers, outer and inner respectively, made from flexible, porous, “breathing” and substantially inelastic materials, separated from one another by a plurality of substantially elastic damping pads in contact with one another, thereby allowing a degree of flexibility.
  • risk zones for example the shoulders, elbows, knees.
  • Such garments are described for example in document WO 00/16652.
  • the available products generally confer relatively reduced protection against impact. This is because, in order to avoid excessively weighting the product provided with its protective cover, the latter is usually reduced to a supple textile envelope, which is more likely to protect the product against dust than genuinely to provide an effective barrier against impacts.
  • the invention also relates to the garment incorporating such a shell, the garment further being provided with damping elements, in particular. It also relates to a protective cover for any type of object incorporating such a shell.
  • the invention relates firstly to an outer protective shell characterized in that it is made from a sheet or plate of rigid polymer, and in that it has a plurality of partial incisions suitable for defining substantially jointed motifs, for imparting to the shell a degree of overall flexibility, and local rigidity for distributing the impact and resistance to abrasion and to tearing.
  • the invention consists in proposing a shell basically consisting of a rigid material, of limited thickness, whereof the partial incisions made in its thickness according to particular motifs enable it to confer the desired flexibility, the overall cohesion being preserved thanks to the bridges or nodes of material preserved between the incisions, these bridges of material being more or less narrow, hence more or less flexible, according to the base material.
  • the material of the shell may be a conventional polymer (Acrylate Butadiene Styrene—ABS, polycarbonate, polypropylene etc), or a composite, particularly having a thermoplastic matrix.
  • a material may be based on woven polypropylene fibres, embedded in a matrix also made from polypropylene, and such as for example sold by Lankhorst under the registered trademark Pure®, which is particularly apt for this application.
  • the use of fibrous composites that resist tearing particularly well provides a protective cover that clearly performs the essential functions assigned to it, that is anti-abrasive, anti-perforation, anti-tear, due to the use of woven fibres, further serving to distribute the energy in case of impact, and owing to a higher bending modulus than pure thermoplastics.
  • the more or less large dimensions of the nodes of material present between the incisions can be adjusted according to the type of polymer used, particularly of a fibrous nature to adapt the flexibility and strength of the shell to the area to be protected and/or to the intended activity.
  • nodes in order to protect the vertebral column, larger nodes can be used, for obtaining a more rigid and thereby more protective shell. No doubt, the flexibility is thereby affected, at least partly, but for a relatively plane area to be protected, the back in this case, this reduction of flexibility is not prohibitive. On the other hand, if the area to be protected consists of a joint, elbow or knee for example, the nodes used are smaller, in order to confer the requisite flexibility to the shell.
  • such a shell is “breathing”, due to the incisions made therein.
  • the motifs of the incisions may equally well be geometric and repetitive, such as triangles or other circles, or “morphological”, that is optimized to match the area to be protected. In both cases, the aim is to optimize the cutting operation and also the flexibility.
  • the invention further relates to protective garments, more particularly intended for the practice of sports and leisure activities. These comprise a number of areas considered to be vulnerable to blows and impacts, the areas being provided with a protective shell of the type described above.
  • this garment consists of a pullover, a sweatshirt or a jacket and the vulnerable areas essentially consist of the vertebral column, the shoulders and the elbows, or even the arms, the forearms and the pectorals.
  • this garment consists of a pair of trousers and the vulnerable area consists essentially of the hips, the coccyx, the knees and the tibias.
  • the protective shell is joined to a damping layer at the vulnerable areas.
  • This advantageously consists of a polymer foam (polyethylene base, EVA, polypropylene, polyurethane, etc.), naturally aerated (like for example open cell foams or porous foams, such as marketed for example by Brock), or micro-perforated by means of a passage between perforating calender rolls or by flat punching.
  • a polymer foam polyethylene base, EVA, polypropylene, polyurethane, etc.
  • naturally aerated like for example open cell foams or porous foams, such as marketed for example by Brock
  • micro-perforated by means of a passage between perforating calender rolls or by flat punching.
  • the damping layer may also consist of a three-dimensional mesh, referred to, in the area concerned, as 3D mesh (textile or plastic polymer) having Z fibres (that is oriented along the direction perpendicular to the surface of the fabric) procuring good compressive strength while preserving flexibility and breathability.
  • 3D mesh textile or plastic polymer
  • the entire garment comprises a biometric comfort and hygiene layer, which may also be made from 3D mesh of the abovementioned type (polymer textile having Z fibres to space the outer fabrics and improve the comfort and breathability performance) associated with heat-regulating or water-repellent fabrics (polyester, polyamide, polypropylene base, etc.) such as sold by DuPont de Nemours under the registered trademark Coolmax®, by Nike under the registered trademark Dry-fit® or by Adidas under the registered trademark Climalite®, or also of low density open cell foam, advantageously viscoelastic.
  • 3D mesh of the abovementioned type polymer textile having Z fibres to space the outer fabrics and improve the comfort and breathability performance
  • heat-regulating or water-repellent fabrics polyyester, polyamide, polypropylene base, etc.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross section of the modelling of the structure according to the invention, more particularly intended for use for a garment.
  • FIG. 2 is a similar view to FIG. 1 , intended to illustrate the flexibility of the structure.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a method for joining the structure of the invention to a garment.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing particular areas of the garment in order to visualize the protective shell according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the structure of the invention, in its application to a protective cover for a laptop computer.
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 is intended to model the object of the present invention.
  • the structure of a protective garment according to the invention is therefore shown in a schematic view.
  • the garment Directly above a protective area with which it is provided, and starting with the face of the garment in contact with the user's skin or with an undergarment, the garment first comprises a hygiene layer ( 1 ), then a biometric comfort layer ( 2 ), the two layers possibly only constituting a single one.
  • these hygiene and biometric comfort layers consist of technical textiles, particularly of the three-dimensional textile type (3D mesh).
  • 3D mesh three-dimensional textile type
  • such textiles have Z fibres procuring good compressive strength while preserving flexibility and breathability.
  • These textiles are further advantageously joined to heat-regulating or water-repellent fabrics (polyester, polyamide, polypropylene base, etc.).
  • fabrics are sold for example by DuPont de Nemours under the registered trademark Coolmax®, by Nike under the registered trademark Dry-fit® or by Adidas under the registered trademark Climalite®.
  • biometric comfort ( 2 ) and hygiene ( 1 ) layers may also consist of a low density open cell foam, advantageously viscoelastic.
  • biometric and hygiene layers are intended to be lightweight, this property being obtained by the use of the volume textile or the low density open cell foam, and to be flexible, that is to be able to perfectly match the user's morphology, statically or dynamically. This layer is therefore naturally supple.
  • this biometric comfort and hygiene layer is joined to an actual damping layer ( 3 ).
  • the latter layer is shown in the model by a layer having a much greater thickness than that of the other layers ( 1 , 2 ).
  • this damping layer is simply inserted between the comfort and hygiene layer, and the protective shell ( 4 ) described below in greater detail. In doing so, greater flexibility of the garment is procured at these particular areas, due to the preservation of the sliding capacity of the layers with regard to one another.
  • this damping layer ( 3 ), thus intended as its name indicates to absorb the impacts and blows, consists advantageously of a polymer foam.
  • This layer may be naturally aerated by virtue of its method of fabrication or of its constituents.
  • polymerization which gives rise to foaming serves to obtain open cells, which allow the air to pass through.
  • foams such as those sold by Brock, they consist of the aggregation of closed beads, the air flowing between the beads.
  • the foam may be micro-perforated by means of a passage between the perforating calender rolls (mass production) or by flat punching (small-scale production).
  • this damping layer ( 3 ) is also a breathing layer.
  • damping layer Another possibility for this damping layer is to use a volume textile (3D textile or plastic mesh) having Z fibres procuring good compressive strength by preserving the flexibility and breathability.
  • this damping foam ( 3 ), like the 3D mesh, is lightweight, having a density typically between 30 and 60 g/l, and flexible, inherent in its nature.
  • the specific zones of the garment according to the invention are further provided with an outer shell ( 4 ), having both properties of local rigidity and overall flexibility. It may be fixed to the edges of the garment by stitching, welding or bonding (see FIG. 3 ). By virtue of its fastening mode, particularly at the side zones of installation of the shell, the latter is capable of sliding with regard to the underlying damping layer ( 3 ). Moreover, the damping layer is itself capable of sliding with regard to the biometric comfort and hygiene layers.
  • this outer shell ( 4 ) consists of a pure thermoplastic or preferably composite polymeric material, particularly having a thermoplastic matrix.
  • woven polypropylene fibres are used, embedded in a matrix also made from polypropylene. Such a material is sold under the trademark Pure®.
  • this outer shell ( 4 ) has incisions ( 5 ), regular or not, according to an optimized motif, triangles in the present case, making it possible primarily to confer on the shell the flexibility required for the adaptation thereof, on the one hand to the user's morphology and on the other to his movements occurring in the practice of the activity in question.
  • this shell is made from sheets or plates prepared from such a material, making it processable with the same technical processing means as textiles (patterning, cutting, stitching, welding, bonding, etc.) without necessarily requiring thermoforming, thermo-compression or injection tools.
  • thermoplastic matrix also serves to confer on this shell the essential properties assigned to it, that is, to prevent abrasion, perforation, tearing likely to occur during impacts or during sliding on an abrasive surface, such as snow, ice, road surfacing, etc.
  • abrasive surface such as snow, ice, road surfacing, etc.
  • These anti-abrasion, anti-perforation, anti-tearing properties are made possible by the use of woven fibres constituting the material.
  • Polypropylene fibres are also non-aggressive in case of breakage, contrary to glass or carbon fibres, offering them an additional advantage, particularly in terms of comfort and safety.
  • the breathing character of the structure is symbolized by upward arrows in FIG. 1 .
  • these incisions ( 5 ) may be more or less large.
  • the incision density is lower and/or the thickness of the constituent sheet or plate is higher.
  • the incision density may be higher, with a lower plate thickness, due to the presence of the woven polymer fibres.
  • the particular choice of the material constituting the shell, and in particular self-reinforced polypropylene, in addition to the presence of these incisions, serves to have a material with a density lower than 0.8 g/cm 3 and thereby to confer on this shell the requisite lightness related to the intended application with regard to garments.
  • FIG. 2 shows the flexible character of the complete structure, in addition to the propensity of the outer shell ( 4 ) to slide easily on any type of coating, and symbolized by the arrow.
  • FIG. 4 for example shows the back of a T-shirt having a plurality of protective zones ( 6 , 7 ) according to the invention, arranged directly above the vertebral column, having a more or less large shape and area according to the location.
  • These installation zones may obviously be in a plurality and, for example, may particularly be located at the most exposed areas, and more particularly the shoulders and the collar-bone, the exterior of the arms, particularly the elbow, the arm and the forearm, and also at the pectorals.
  • the outer shell ( 4 ) is bonded to a prestretched elastic support, of the textile or foam type ( 8 ).
  • the support ( 8 ) is kept stretched, and after the bonding, the incisions in the shell ( 4 ) are made as described above, while taking care to avoid leaving any bridge or node between the incisions thereby made.
  • the invention also relates to protective covers using the outer protective shell described above.
  • Such a cover can be used for all types of object.
  • FIG. 5 accordingly shows the implementation of the principle of the invention adapted to a laptop computer ( 10 ).
  • this protective cover comprises an outer shell ( 4 ) on its outer surface, for example of the same type as that described in relation to FIGS. 1 to 4 .
  • This outer shell ( 4 ) is joined to a damping layer ( 3 ), also of the same type as that described above.
  • the breathing character of these various layers can be appreciated.
  • the object to be protected consists of a surfboard, a pair of skis, etc.
  • this breathing character serves to remove the moisture rapidly, and thereby increase the life of the object in question.
  • the breathing character is appreciated insofar as it serves to remove the heat generated by this type of apparatus.
