Abstract

The device for retaining an article includes a stiff member for engaging simultaneously an object (such as a wallet) to a clothing article, and a flexible member which has a first and a second position with respect to said stiff member. In the first position the flexible member engages the clothing article with a spike so that the object cannot be removed.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de rétention d'un objet sur une pièce d'habillement, par exemple d'un portefeuille dans une poche, destiné à être fixé à l'objet à retenir et comprenant un cavalier en forme de U rigide, muni de moyens de fixation audit objet et sur lequel sont montés, d'une part, un organe élastique dont l'extrémité est destinée à pénétrer dans la pièce d'habillement sur laquelle ledit objet est disposé en cas de mouvement relatif tendant à la séparation dudit objet et de la pièce d'habillement, et d'autre part, un moyen de commande monté coulissant sur le cavalier entre deux positions; ledit organe élastique étant dirigé obliquement d'une aile à l'autre du cavalier, en direction du fond de ce cavalier dans une première position du moyen de commande, et étant écarté de l'aile opposée dans la seconde position du moyen de commande.The subject of the present invention is a device for retaining an object on a piece of clothing, for example a wallet in a pocket, intended to be fixed to the object to be retained and comprising a rigid U-shaped jumper , provided with means for fixing to said object and on which are mounted, on the one hand, an elastic member, the end of which is intended to penetrate into the piece of clothing on which said object is disposed in the event of relative movement tending to separation of said object and piece of clothing, and on the other hand, a control means slidingly mounted on the jumper between two positions; said elastic member being directed obliquely from one wing to the other of the rider, in the direction of the bottom of this rider in a first position of the control means, and being separated from the opposite wing in the second position of the control means.

Un dispositif de sécurité pour portefeuille, du type susmentionné, est décrit dans le brevet FR-A-1 207 148. Dans ce dispositif antérieur, l'organe élastique est constitué par un ressort-lame arqué fixé par un rivet à l'une des ailes du cavalier et dont l'extrémité vient, par une arête, s'appuyer au repos contre l'aile opposée du cavalier. Un coulisseau permet de redresser le ressort contre l'aile sur laquelle il est fixé. L'arête par laquelle le ressort s'appuie sur le tissu risque de couper ou de déchirer le tissu. Le dégagement du ressort, qui s'effectue par rotation, peut également avoir pour effet de déchirer le tissu.A security device for a wallet, of the aforementioned type, is described in patent FR-A-1 207 148. In this prior device, the elastic member consists of an arcuate leaf spring fixed by a rivet to one of the wings of the rider and whose end comes, by an edge, to rest at rest against the opposite wing of the rider. A slide makes it possible to straighten the spring against the wing on which it is fixed. The edge by which the spring rests on the fabric may cut or tear the fabric. Releasing the spring, which is done by rotation, can also have the effect of tearing the fabric.

On connait en outre des dispositifs à aiguille (FR-A-462 520, US-A-3 273 619, DE-A-403 398), comportant une aiguille dirigée obliquement vers le haut et escamotable au moyen d'un organe coulissant. Dans toutes ces exécutions, l'aiguille en position de travail n'est pas recouverte et peut blesser l'utilisateur lors d'une manipulation du portefeuille. Dans les dispositifs selon US-A-3 273 619 et DE-A-403 398, le dégagement de l'aiguille se fait par gravité, ce qui exige une propreté parfaite, difficile à maintenir, pour assurer le glissement de la pièce coulissante.There are also known needle devices (FR-A-462 520, US-A-3 273 619, DE-A-403 398), comprising a needle directed obliquely upward and retractable by means of a sliding member. In all of these embodiments, the needle in the working position is not covered and can injure the user when handling the wallet. In the devices according to US-A-3,273,619 and DE-A-403,398, the needle is released by gravity, which requires perfect cleanliness, difficult to maintain, to ensure the sliding of the sliding part.

L'invention a pour but de réaliser un dispositif plus simple, d'emploi sûr et sans danger, n'abîmant pas le tissu.The object of the invention is to provide a simpler device which is safe and harmless to use and does not damage the fabric.

Dans le dispositif selon l'invention, tel que caractérisé par la revendication l'un fil unique constitue simultanément l'organe coulissant et l'organe de retenue, en l'occurrence une pointe. Le retrait de la pointe s'effectue par un mouvement combiné de translation et de rotation, ce qui permet de retirer la pointe du tissu sans risquer de le déchirer,In the device according to the invention, as characterized by claim, a single wire simultaneously constitutes the sliding member and the retaining member, in this case a point. The tip is removed by a combined translational and rotational movement, which allows the tip to be removed from the fabric without the risk of tearing it,

Selon une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, telle que définie à la revendication 5, le dispositif peut être mis hors service par simple pression sur un capuchon situé dans le prolongement du cavalier. Ce capuchon peut en outre être verrouillé par rotation, le déverrouillage devant se faire en amenant en coïncidence deux profils, ce qui ne peut se faire que visuellement.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, as defined in claim 5, the device can be put out of service by simple pressure on a cap located in the extension of the jumper. This cap can also be locked by rotation, the unlocking having to be done by bringing two profiles into coincidence, which can only be done visually.

Le dispositif représenté comprend essentiellement un cavalier métallique 1 et un fil en acier 2 plié. Le cavalier 1 est muni de deux pattes 3 et 4 par lesquelles il est fixé au moyen de rivets sur une plaquette 5 en matière plastique semi-rigide munie de deux bras élastiques 6 et 7 découpés dans la plaquette 5 et dont les extrémités 8 et 9 sont coudées vers l'extérieur.The device shown essentially comprises a metal jumper 1 and a bent steel wire 2. The rider 1 is provided with two tabs 3 and 4 by which it is fixed by means of rivets on a plate 5 of semi-rigid plastic material provided with two elastic arms 6 and 7 cut from the plate 5 and whose ends 8 and 9 are angled outward.

L'aile 1 a du cavalier 1 solidaire des pattes 3 et 4, présente une première découpe longitudinale 10 de forme rectangulaire s'étendant sur environ 1/3 de la longueur du cavalier, dans la partie médiane de celui-ci et de largeur très légèrement supérieure au diamètre du fil 2. Parallèlement à cette découpe 10 s'étend une seconde découpe 11, du fond 1b du cavalier presque jusqu'à son extrémité. Cette découpe 11, de même largeur que la découpe 10 présente une partie s'étendant parallèlement à la découpe 10 sur la longueur de celle-ci, suivie d'une partie oblique 11a reliant la première partie à une partie 11b située dans le prolongement de la découpe 10, cette partie 11 b étant reliée par une partie oblique 11c à à une partie terminale 11d située dans le prolongement de la première partie 11. Les parties 11b, 11c et 11d définissent un doigt 12, tandis que le fond de la partie 11d forme une butée 13 (figure 5). L'autre extrémité de la découpe 11 débouche dans une découpe rectangulaire 14 ménagée dans le fond 11b du cavalier (figure 6). Cette découpe 14 présente un ergot 15 dont le rôle sera exposé plus loin.The wing 1a of the rider 1 secured to the legs 3 and 4, has a first longitudinal cut 10 of rectangular shape extending over approximately 1/3 of the length of the rider, in the middle part thereof and of very wide slightly greater than the diameter of the wire 2. Parallel to this cut 10 extends a second cut 11, from the bottom 1b of the jumper almost to its end. This cutout 11, of the same width as the cutout 10 has a part extending parallel to the cutout 10 along the length thereof, followed by an oblique part 11a connecting the first part to a part 11b located in the extension of the cutout 10, this part 11b being connected by an oblique part 11c to an end part 11d situated in the extension of the first part 11. The parts 11b, 11c and 11d define a finger 12, while the bottom of the part 11d forms a stop 13 (Figure 5). The other end of the cutout 11 opens into a rectangular cutout 14 formed in the bottom 11b of the jumper (Figure 6). This cutout 14 has a lug 15 whose role will be explained below.

Le fil en acier 2 monté sur le cavalier 1 présente une première partie 2a coudée en épingle destinée à être introduite dans un capuchon cylindrique 16 dans une cavité duquel elle est retenue par le coude 2b qui forme une boucle approximativement triangulaire. L'extrémité inférieure du capuchon 16 peut en outre venir buter contre l'extrémité coudée 2c. En-dessous du capuchon 16, le fil présente une première partie oblique 2d qui vient entourer le doigt 12 par une partie pliée en U 2e, passant ainsi à l'extérieur du cavalier 1 par une partie 2f, cette partie 2f étant suivie d'une partie rectiligne oblique 2g traversant la découpe 10 et dont l'extrémité constitue une pointe 17. Dans la position normale de travail, cette pointe 17 est dirigée en direction de l'aile 1 c du cavalier et se trouve à proximité d'un coude 18 servant de butée limitatrice de flexion du fil 2, comme il sera décrit plus loin.The steel wire 2 mounted on the jumper 1 has a first part 2a bent in a pin intended to be introduced into a cylindrical cap 16 in a cavity from which it is retained by the elbow 2b which forms an approximately triangular loop. The lower end of the cap 16 can further abut against the bent end 2c. Below the cap 16, the wire has a first oblique part 2d which surrounds the finger 12 by a part folded in a U 2e, thus passing to the outside of the jumper 1 by a part 2f, this part 2f being followed by an oblique rectilinear part 2g crossing the cutout 10 and the end of which constitutes a point 17. In the normal working position, this point 17 is directed in direction of the wing 1c of the rider and is near a bend 18 serving as a stop limiting the bending of the wire 2, as will be described later.

Le capuchon 16 peut tourner sur le fil 2. Il présente une partie inférieure de diamètre réduit formant une portée circulaire 21 interrompue par une rainure longitudinale extérieure 18 de largeur légèrement supérieure à la largeur de l'ergot 15 et s'étendant sur la partie supérieure du capuchon. Lorsque cette rainure 18 est en face de l'ergot 15, comme représenté à la figure 2, la partie supérieure du capuchon peut traverser librement la decoupe 14. Dans toute autre position angulaire, le capuchon 16 vient buter par sa portée 21 contre le bord 20 de la découpe 14 opposé à l'ergot 15 (Fig. 2). Le bord 20 est légèrement en-dessous de la partie 1b du cavalier de telle sorte qu'au repos la partie supérieure du capuchon 16 est légèrement engagée dans la découpe 14. Le capuchon 16 est alors maintenu latéralement entre l'aile la du cavalier, par sa partie inférieure, et l'ergot 15.The cap 16 can rotate on the wire 2. It has a lower part of reduced diameter forming a circular surface 21 interrupted by an external longitudinal groove 18 of width slightly greater than the width of the lug 15 and extending over the upper part of the cap. When this groove 18 is opposite the lug 15, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper part of the cap can pass freely through the cutout 14. In any other angular position, the cap 16 abuts by its bearing 21 against the edge 20 of the cutout 14 opposite the lug 15 (Fig. 2). The edge 20 is slightly below the part 1b of the rider so that at rest the upper part of the cap 16 is slightly engaged in the cutout 14. The cap 16 is then held laterally between the wing 1a of the rider, by its lower part, and the lug 15.

Le dispositif est fixé au portefeuille comme représenté à la figure 10. La seule particularité que le portefeuille doit présenter est un passant 19 de largeur correspondant à la largeur de la plaquette 5, non compris les extrémités 8 et 9 et de longueur correspondant à cette plaquette. Pour fixer le dispositif, il suffit d'introduire la plaquette 5 dans le passant 19 en faisant fléchir les bras 6 et 7. Une fois que ces bras ont traversé le passant 19, la plaquette vient s'accrocher au portefeuille par ses extrémités coudées 8 et 9. Cet assemblage peut être exécuté en un tournemain par l'utilisateur.The device is attached to the portfolio as shown in Figure 10. The only feature that the portfolio must have is a loop 19 of width corresponding to the width of the plate 5, not including the ends 8 and 9 and of length corresponding to this plate . To fix the device, it suffices to introduce the plate 5 into the passer-by 19 by bending the arms 6 and 7. Once these arms have passed through the passer-by 19, the plate comes to hang on the wallet by its bent ends 8 and 9. This assembly can be performed in a jiffy by the user.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif est le suivant:The operation of the device is as follows:

Le capuchon 16 étant placé dans une position quelconque verrouillée, le portefeuille est introduit dans la poche de telle manière que la cavalier 1 vienne se placer de part et d'autre de la poche. Lors de cette introduction, la pointe 17 glisse sur le tissu en fléchissant et sans abîmer le tissu. Si le portefeuile se déplace vers l'extérieur, relativement à la poche, que ce soit lors d'une tentative de vol ou accidentellement, la pointe 17 pénètre alors dans le tissu en retenant le protefeuille. Si la traction sur le portefeuille persiste, la pointe 17 traverse le tissu et vient buter contre le coude 18 du cavalier qui limite la flexion du fil et asture un verrouillage du dispositif sur le vêtement.The cap 16 being placed in any locked position, the wallet is introduced into the pocket in such a way that the jumper 1 comes to be placed on either side of the pocket. During this introduction, the tip 17 slides on the fabric, bending and without damaging the fabric. If the wallet moves outward relative to the pocket, whether during an attempted theft or accidentally, the tip 17 then enters the fabric by retaining the wallet. If the traction on the wallet persists, the point 17 crosses the fabric and abuts against the elbow 18 of the rider which limits the bending of the wire and fixes a locking of the device on the garment.

Lorsque le porteur du portefeuille désire retirer son portefeuille, il lui suffit de tourner le capuchon 16 pour amener la rainure 18 en face de l'ergot ce qui permet d'ecarter le capuchon du bord 20 et d'exercer une pression axiale sur le capuchon comme, indiqué par la flèche F, figure 2. Lors de ce mouvement axial, la partie 2g du fil 2 vient buter contre l'extrémité inférieure de la decoupe 10, ce qui a pour effet de faire fléchir la partie 2g du fil et de l'écarter de l'aile 1c du cavalier, ceci dans un mouvement combiné de translation et de rotation qui permet d'extraire la pointe 17 du tissu sans déchirer ou abîmer celui-ci. Dans son déplacement le fil est en outre guidé sur le doigt 12 par sa partie enroulée 2e. Lorsqu'on relâche la pression sur le capuchon 16, celui-ci revient automatiquement en arrière car la partie 2g du fil a tendance à revenir dans sa position initiale en s'appuyant toujours sur l'extrémité de la decoupe 10 qui engendre une réaction tendant à repousser le fil vers le haut.When the holder of the wallet wishes to withdraw his wallet, he only has to turn the cap 16 to bring the groove 18 in front of the lug which allows the cap to be moved away from the edge 20 and to exert an axial pressure on the cap as indicated by the arrow F, FIG. 2. During this axial movement, the part 2g of the wire 2 abuts against the lower end of the cutout 10, which has the effect of bending the part 2g of the wire and move it away from the rider's wing 1c, this in a combined movement of translation and rotation which makes it possible to extract the point 17 from the fabric without tearing or damaging it. In its movement the wire is further guided on the finger 12 by its coiled part 2e. When the pressure is released on the cap 16, the latter automatically returns back because the 2g part of the wire tends to return to its initial position while still pressing on the end of the cutout 10 which generates a tending reaction push the wire up.

La partie supérieure de la découpe qui débouche dans la découpe 4 est utilisée pour le montage du fil 2 sur le cavalier 1. A cet effet on fait passer la partie 2a du fil à travers la découpe 11 avant d'enfiler le capuchon 6 sur cette partie 2a.The upper part of the cutout which opens into the cutout 4 is used for mounting the wire 2 on the jumper 1. To this end, the part 2a of the wire is passed through the cutout 11 before threading the cap 6 onto this part 2a.

Le dispositif peut être fixé à tout objet susceptible d'être mis dans une poche de vêtement tel que portefeuille, carnet, porte- monnaie, stylo, radio-récepteur etc. Son cavalier peut être fixée sur toute partie d'un vêtement susceptible de le recevoir, telle que poche revolver, ceinture, etc. Le dispositif peut aussi être utilisé pour retenir une pièce d'habillement sur une autre pièce d'habillement, par exemple une jupe de femme sur une ceinture pour empêcher la jupe de monter au-dessus de la ceinture, ou inversement en fixant le dispositif à la ceinture. Le cavalier pourrait bien entendu être fixé à demeure par tout autre moyen sur l'objet.The device can be attached to any object likely to be put in a pocket of clothing such as wallet, notebook, wallet, pen, radio receiver etc. Its rider can be attached to any part of a garment capable of receiving it, such as a revolver pocket, belt, etc. The device can also be used to hold a piece of clothing on another piece of clothing, for example a woman's skirt on a belt to prevent the skirt from rising above the belt, or vice versa by fixing the device to the belt. The rider could of course be permanently fixed to the object by any other means.

L'invention est bien entendu susceptible de nombreuses variantes d'exécution sans sortir du cadre de l'invention telle que definie par les revendications.The invention is of course capable of numerous variants without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
