Description

La présente invention concerne les gants en cotte de mailles qui sont constitués d'un treillis d'anneaux métalliques entrelacés et qui sont adaptés pour assurer une protection de la main et éventuellement de l'avant-bras et du bras de l'utilisateur.The present invention relates to chain mail gloves which are made up of a lattice of interlaced metal rings which are adapted to protect the hand and possibly the forearm and user's arm.

Ces gants en cotte de mailles sont largement utilisés au niveau des postes de découpe dans l'industrie de la viande et aussi dans les domaines où on manipule des plaques de tôle ou de verre aux arêtes tranchantes.These chainmail gloves are widely used in cutting stations in the meat industry and also in areas where we handle sheet metal or glass plates with sharp edges.

Certaines réalisations sont constituées d'une partie « main » en cotte de mailles, prolongée par une manchette de protection de l'avant-bras en matière plastique moulée. Cette manchette comporte généralement un retour extérieur au niveau de son extrémité qui constitue un obstacle ou un organe de butée pour stopper la progression d'une lame de couteau ou autre outil, en direction de la partie d'avant-bras ou de bras non protégée.
Ces manchettes en matière plastique assurent une protection efficace du membre mais leur présence complique le montage du gant lors de la fabrication. Elles entraínent également des problèmes de transpiration du membre de l'utilisateur, et elles sont assez fragiles.Some achievements consist of a "hand" part in chain mail, extended by a protective cuff of the forearm in molded plastic. This cuff generally has an external return at its end which constitutes an obstacle or a stop member for stopping the progression of a knife blade or other tool, in the direction of the unprotected forearm or arm part. .
These plastic cuffs provide effective protection for the limb, but their presence complicates the mounting of the glove during manufacture. They also cause sweating problems of the user's limb, and they are quite fragile.

Pour éviter ces inconvénients, on a proposé des gants en cotte de mailles munis d'une extension de protection également en cotte de mailles venant recouvrir le poignet et éventuellement l'avant-bras et le bras de l'utilisateur. A l'extrémité de cette extension de protection, il est prévu un organe d'accrochage pour le serrage, ou une sangle périphérique rapportée, en tissu tressé ou en matière plastique notamment. Comme prévu dans le document WO-A-96 11 595, le gant de protection en cotte de mailles peut aussi comporter des organes de serrage élastiques en forme de ressorts spirales aménagés au niveau du poignet et à l'extrémité de l'extension de protection, pour assurer le maintien sur le membre de l'utilisateur.
Mais si dans ces derniers cas, les parties de membres recouvertes sont efficacement protégées, lorsque la lame d'un outil glisse sur le tissu de cotte de mailles, elle peut facilement atteindre l'extrémité de l'extension de protection et blesser le porteur au niveau d'une zone de membre non recouverte, ceci même malgré la présence d'une sangle de serrage d'extrémité, ou d'un ressort spirale élastique.To avoid these drawbacks, gloves made of chain mail have been proposed, provided with a protective extension also made of chain mail, covering the wrist and possibly the user's forearm and arm. At the end of this protective extension, there is provided a hooking member for tightening, or an added peripheral strap, in braided fabric or in plastic material in particular. As provided in document WO-A-96 11 595, the protective glove in chain mail can also include elastic tightening members in the form of spiral springs arranged at the wrist and at the end of the protective extension , to maintain it on the user's limb.
But if in these latter cases, the parts of the covered limbs are effectively protected, when the blade of a tool slides over the chainmail fabric, it can easily reach the end of the protective extension and injure the wearer. level of a limb area not covered, this even despite the presence of an end tightening strap, or an elastic spiral spring.

La présente invention propose de remédier à cet inconvénient ; elle préconise à cet effet d'équiper au moins une partie de la périphérie de l'extension de protection en cotte de mailles, d'un bourrelet rigide en saillie constituant un obstacle efficace contre la progression de la lame d'un outil glissant sur le tissu de cotte de mailles, lequel bourrelet est réalisé au moyen d'une structure en forme de boucle circulaire rapportée, en matériau rigide, solidarisée avec le tissu de cotte de mailles par tout moyen approprié.
Ce bourrelet rigide a de préférence une épaisseur comprise entre 1 et 1,5 cm. De préférence, il occupe au moins la majeure partie de la périphérie de l'extension en cotte de mailles pour obtenir une protection efficace.
Ce bourrelet est avantageusement aménagé à l'extrémité de l'extension en cotte de mailles mais on peut en prévoir un ou plusieurs autres entre ladite extrémité et la partie « main » du gant.The present invention proposes to remedy this drawback; to this end, it recommends equipping at least part of the periphery of the chainmail protection extension with a rigid protruding bead constituting an effective obstacle against the progression of the blade of a tool sliding on the chain mail fabric, which bead is produced by means of a structure in the form of an added circular loop, of rigid material, secured to the chain mail fabric by any suitable means.
This rigid bead preferably has a thickness of between 1 and 1.5 cm. Preferably, it occupies at least most of the periphery of the chainmail extension to obtain effective protection.
This bead is advantageously fitted at the end of the chainmail extension, but one or more others can be provided between said end and the "hand" part of the glove.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, ce gant comporte une extension en cotte de mailles qui se présente sous la forme d'un manchon complet dépourvu de fente latérale, laquelle extension est munie d'un bourrelet rigide en saillie au niveau de son extrémité, qui s'étend sur au moins une partie de la périphérie de l'ouverture d'introduction de la main.According to a preferred embodiment, this glove has a chainmail extension which is in the form of a sleeve complete without side slit, which extension is provided with a bead rigid projecting at its end, which extends over at least part from the periphery of the hand insertion opening.

Selon une forme de réalisation possible, le bourrelet rigide en saillie est constitué d'une boucle circulaire qui est rapportée dans des passants ou dans un ourlet aménagé(s) sur l'extension en cotte de mailles.
Selon une autre possibilité, ce bourrelet est constitué d'une boucle circulaire munie d'une pluralité d'orifices pour sa fixation sur le tissu de cotte de mailles par des anneaux métalliques de jonction.According to a possible embodiment, the rigid protruding bead consists of a circular loop which is attached in loops or in a hem arranged on the extension in chain mail.
According to another possibility, this bead consists of a circular loop provided with a plurality of orifices for its attachment to the chainmail fabric by metal junction rings.

La boucle circulaire rigide se présente avantageusement sous la forme d'un tore ou bien d'une structure à section en crochet ; elle est réalisée en matière plastique rigide ou en matériau métallique ; sa section est fonction de la forme et de la taille désirées du bourrelet d'extrémité. The rigid circular loop is advantageously in the form a torus or a hook section structure; it is carried out in rigid plastic or metallic material; its section is a function of the desired shape and size of the end bead.

La structure rigide utilisée peut se présenter sous la forme d'une boucle ouverte de manière, après écartement, à pouvoir venir se resserrer légèrement sur le poignet, l'avant-bras ou le bras de l'utilisateur. Les extrémités de la boucle peuvent se recouvrir pour éviter la présence d'une zone fragilisée, dépourvue de bourrelet de sécurité. Dans ce dernier cas, les extrémités de boucle qui se recouvrent sont conformées de façon à ce que l'épaisseur du bourrelet au niveau de la zone de recouvrement ne soit pas supérieure à l'épaisseur dudit bourrelet en dehors de ladite zone de recouvrement.The rigid structure used can be in the form of a loop open so that, after separation, it can tighten slightly on the user's wrist, forearm or arm. The ends of the loop can overlap to avoid the presence of a weakened area, without safety bead. In the latter case, the ends of overlapping loop are shaped so that the thickness of the bead at the overlap area is not more than the thickness of said bead outside of said overlap zone.

Pour améliorer le confort d'utilisation, la zone de la périphérie du poignet ou de l'avant-bras qui est située dans le prolongement de l'auriculaire de la main peut être dépourvue de bourrelet, ou bien peut comporter un bourrelet de moindre épaisseur ; cela permet de limiter la gène de l'utilisateur lorsqu'il opère avec le poignet ou l'avant-bras posé sur un plan de travail, par exemple une table de découpe.To improve user comfort, the area around the wrist or forearm which is located in the extension of the little finger of the hand may be without a bead, or may include a bead of less thickness; this makes it possible to limit the gene of the user when he operates with your wrist or forearm resting on a work surface, for example a cutting table.

De préférence, le gant en cotte de mailles conforme à l'invention comporte aussi au moins un organe de serrage, par exemple en forme de sangle ou de crochet, au niveau du poignet ; éventuellement, des organes raidisseurs sont disposés entre ledit organe de serrage et le bourrelet saillant d'extrémité.Preferably, the chainmail glove according to the invention also comprises at least one clamping member, for example in the form of strap or hook, at the wrist; possibly organs stiffeners are arranged between said clamping member and the protruding bead end.

Selon une forme de réalisation particulière, le gant est muni d'une extension en cotte de mailles venant recouvrir une partie au moins de l'avant-bras de l'utilisateur et il comporte un premier bourrelet saillant au niveau du poignet, ainsi qu'un second bourrelet saillant sur l'avant-bras. Ces deux bourrelets sont chacun constitués d'une boucle rapportée fixée sur l'extension en cotte de mailles, et les deux boucles rapportées sont reliées entre elles par une ou plusieurs structure(s) rigide(s) constituant un ou plusieurs organe(s) raidisseur(s) assurant le maintien de l'extension sur l'avant-bras de l'utilisateur.According to a particular embodiment, the glove is provided with a chainmail extension covering at least part of the forearm of the user and it has a first protruding bead at the level of the wrist, as well as a second protruding bead on the forearm. These two beads are each made up of an attached loop fixed on the extension chainmail, and the two added loops are linked together by one or more rigid structure (s) constituting one or more organ (s) stiffener (s) ensuring the maintenance of the extension on the user's forearm.

Le tronçon d'extension 3 est en forme de manchon complet, sans fente latérale ; son ouverture d'extrémité 4 présente des dimensions juste suffisantes pour permettre l'introduction de la main sans difficulté.The extension section 3 is in the form of a complete sleeve, without a slot lateral; its end opening 4 has just sufficient dimensions to allow the introduction of the hand without difficulty.

La bordure d'extrémité de l'extension 3, qui délimite l'ouverture 4 d'introduction de la main, comporte un bourrelet périphérique 6 constitué par une boucle circulaire rapportée 8, en matériau rigide, qui forme un insert logé dans un ourlet 9. Cet ourlet 9 est obtenu en solidarisant la ligne d'anneaux d'extrémité de l'extension 3 avec le corps du tissu de cotte de mailles, de préférence du côté de la face externe dudit tissu pour accentuer la saillie vers l'extérieur. Cette solidarisation est réalisée par une couture au moyen d'anneaux métalliques identiques ou similaires à ceux du tissu de cotte de mailles.
Les dimensions de l'ourlet 9 sont ajustées en fonction de celles de l'insert 8. On peut former l'ourlet 9 directement sur l'insert 8, mais on peut aussi glisser ledit insert dans l'ourlet d'extrémité préparé à l'avance ; dans ce dernier cas, une couture de finition permet de cloisonner complètement l'insert pour assurer son maintien en place.The end edge of the extension 3, which delimits the opening 4 for insertion by hand, comprises a peripheral bead 6 constituted by an added circular loop 8, made of rigid material, which forms an insert housed in a hem 9 This hem 9 is obtained by joining the line of end rings of the extension 3 with the body of the chain mail fabric, preferably on the side of the external face of said fabric to accentuate the projection towards the outside. This joining is achieved by sewing by means of metal rings identical or similar to those of the chainmail fabric.
The dimensions of the hem 9 are adjusted as a function of those of the insert 8. The hem 9 can be formed directly on the insert 8, but the said insert can also be slid into the end hem prepared for 'advance; in the latter case, a finishing seam makes it possible to completely partition the insert to ensure that it remains in place.

A noter qu'en lieu et place de l'ourlet 9, on peut prévoir une pluralité de simples passants en cotte de mailles, régulièrement répartis ; on peut aussi envisager tout autre mode de fixation.Note that instead of hem 9, a plurality of simple passers-by in chain mail, regularly distributed; can also consider any other method of attachment.

La boucle circulaire 8, représentée isolément sur la figure 3, a une forme générale torique dont la section ronde a un diamètre compris entre 1 et 1,5 cm ; elle est réalisée en matériau rigide, par exemple en matière plastique (PVC, polyamide, polycarbonate ...) ou en métal (inox, aluminium ...).The circular loop 8, shown in isolation in Figure 3, has a shape general toric whose round section has a diameter between 1 and 1.5 cm; it is made of rigid material, for example plastic (PVC, polyamide, polycarbonate ...) or metal (stainless steel, aluminum ...).

Sur la figure 3, on remarque que l'insert 8 ne forme pas une boucle complète ; il est ouvert au niveau de la zone référencée 10 et il constitue ainsi, en liaison avec la nature du matériau utilisé, une structure souple qui peut s'ouvrir ou s'écarter légèrement notamment pour faciliter le passage de la main dans l'ouverture 4 du gant.In Figure 3, we note that the insert 8 does not form a loop complete; it is open at the level of the zone referenced 10 and it thus constitutes, in connection with the nature of the material used, a flexible structure which can open or move slightly apart to facilitate the passage of the hand in opening 4 of the glove.

Pour compléter le maintien du gant et pour optimiser l'enveloppement de la partie de membre protégée, on prévoit un organe de serrage à l'extrémité de la partie « main » 2 ou sur le tronçon d'extension 3. Cet organe de serrage peut être constitué d'une sangle rapportée en cotte de mailles, en tissu tressé, matière plastique ou autre ; comme on l'a représenté sur la figure 1, on peut aussi prévoir une simple structure de crochetage 12 fixée directement sur le tissu de cotte de mailles ou par l'intermédiaire d'un organe d'assemblage du genre émerillon 13. La structure de crochetage 12 qui vient s'agripper dans le tissu de cotte de mailles permet à l'utilisateur d'ajuster le serrage à volonté.
De préférence, l'organe de serrage 12 est fixé sur la bordure d'une ouverture 14 aménagée dans le tissu de cotte de mailles. L'organe de serrage 12 peut alors être positionné d'un côté ou de l'autre de la trame métallique, ce qui permet d'obtenir un gant réversible par simple retournement sur lui-même.To complete the maintenance of the glove and to optimize the wrapping of the protected limb part, a tightening member is provided at the end of the “hand” part 2 or on the extension section 3. This tightening member can consist of a strap attached in chain mail, braided fabric, plastic or other; as shown in FIG. 1, it is also possible to provide a simple hooking structure 12 fixed directly on the chain mail fabric or by means of an assembly member of the swivel type 13. The structure of hooking 12 which comes to grip in the chain mail fabric allows the user to adjust the tightening at will.
Preferably, the clamping member 12 is fixed on the edge of an opening 14 arranged in the chain mail fabric. The clamping member 12 can then be positioned on one side or the other of the metal frame, which makes it possible to obtain a reversible glove by simple turning over on itself.

Une fois positionné sur la main et le poignet de l'utilisateur, le bourrelet 6 forme un organe saillant d'extrémité dont la taille et la structure rigide sont adaptées pour constituer un obstacle ou une butée efficace contre la progression d'une lame d'outil glissant sur le tissu de cotte de mailles. Ce bourrelet saillant 6 s'étend sur toute la périphérie de l'ouverture d'extrémité 4 du gant et il constitue un organe de blocage efficace améliorant la sécurité du gant contre les mouvements incontrôlés et les dérapages intempestifs de l'outil utilisé.
La figure 2 montre une lame d'outil 15 en regard du bourrelet de sécurité 6. On comprend que si cette lame 15 poursuit sa progression en direction de la partie de membre non protégée, le bourrelet d'extrémité 6 va la bloquer pour éviter le risque de blessure, ou il va tout au moins la freiner et la faire sauter pour limiter ce risque.Once positioned on the user's hand and wrist, the bead 6 forms a protruding end member whose size and rigid structure are adapted to constitute an obstacle or an effective stop against the progression of a blade. tool sliding on chain mail fabric. This protruding bead 6 extends over the entire periphery of the end opening 4 of the glove and it constitutes an effective blocking member improving the safety of the glove against uncontrolled movements and untimely slippage of the tool used.
FIG. 2 shows a tool blade 15 facing the safety bead 6. It is understood that if this blade 15 continues to progress towards the unprotected limb part, the end bead 6 will block it to avoid the risk of injury, or at least brake and blow it up to limit this risk.

On notera également que la boucle rigide positionnée dans l'ourlet d'extrémité permet d'ouvrir le passage 4 d'introduction de la main ; cette particularité facilite la mise en place et l'enlèvement du gant.Note also that the rigid loop positioned in the hem end opens the passage 4 for introducing the hand; this particularity facilitates the installation and removal of the glove.

Le bourrelet de sécurité 6 peut être aménagé de la même façon à l'extrémité et/ou sur une zone de la hauteur d'une extension en cotte de mailles recouvrant l'avant-bras ou même le bras de l'utilisateur. Dans ce cas, l'extension de protection peut comporter une pluralité d'organes de serrage en forme de sangle(s) et/ou de structure(s) de crochetage ; elle peut aussi être munie de raidisseurs longitudinaux permettant d'améliorer le maintien du tissu de cotte de mailles sur la partie de membre protégée.The safety bead 6 can be fitted in the same way to the end and / or over an area the height of a chainmail extension covering the user's forearm or even the arm. In that case, the protective extension may include a plurality of clamping members form of strap (s) and / or hooking structure (s); she can also be fitted with longitudinal stiffeners to improve fabric retention chain mail on the protected limb.

La figure 4 montre un gant en cotte de mailles de ce genre, dont la partie « main » 2 est prolongée par une extension 3 destinée à recouvrir la majeure partie de l'avant-bras. Cette extension 3 comporte un bourrelet d'extrémité 6 identique ou similaire à celui illustré en liaison avec le gant « simplifié » des figures 1 et 2. Elle comporte aussi des raidisseurs longitudinaux 16 réalisés notamment par surmoulage de matière plastique sur le treillis d'anneaux métalliques, ou par des éléments métalliques fixés sur le tissu de cotte de mailles. Ces raidisseurs 16 s'étendent sur la longueur de l'extension 3, entre le bourrelet d'extrémité 6 et une sangle de serrage 18 qui équipe la zone de poignet.
La sangle de serrage 18 est constituée d'une bande de cotte de mailles fixée sur la bordure d'une ouverture 19 permettant la réversibilité du gant ; elle est munie à son extrémité d'un organe de crochetage 20 assurant le maintien du serrage.Figure 4 shows a chain mail glove of this kind, the "hand" part 2 is extended by an extension 3 intended to cover most of the forearm. This extension 3 comprises an end bead 6 identical or similar to that illustrated in connection with the "simplified" glove of FIGS. 1 and 2. It also comprises longitudinal stiffeners 16 produced in particular by overmolding of plastic material on the ring lattice metallic, or by metallic elements fixed on the chain mail fabric. These stiffeners 16 extend over the length of the extension 3, between the end bead 6 and a tightening strap 18 which equips the wrist area.
The tightening strap 18 consists of a chainmail band fixed on the edge of an opening 19 allowing the reversibility of the glove; it is provided at its end with a hooking member 20 ensuring the maintenance of the clamping.

On peut envisager d'autres formes de boucles circulaires que celle illustrée sur les figures 2 et 3 pour réaliser le bourrelet d'extrémité 6.We can consider other forms of circular loops than that illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 for making the end bead 6.

Ainsi, bien qu'une boucle ouverte soit une forme de réalisation préférée du fait de la souplesse que cette caractéristique procure, on peut tout-à-fait envisager l'utilisation d'une boucle fermée, notamment si on veut éviter la présence d'une zone dépourvue d'insert sur la périphérie de l'ouverture d'extrémité 4.So although an open loop is a preferred embodiment because of the flexibility that this characteristic provides, it is entirely possible consider using a closed loop, especially if you want to avoid presence of a zone devoid of insert on the periphery of the opening end 4.

Une solution intermédiaire consiste à prévoir une structure en forme de boucle ouverte dont les extrémités se recouvrent et ont la possibilité de glisser l'une sur l'autre ou de coulisser l'une par rapport à l'autre, en fonction de la souplesse obtenue. Dans ce cas, les extrémités de la boucle seront avantageusement adaptées pour limiter l'épaisseur de matière liée à ce recouvrement. En particulier, ces extrémités pourront être conformées pour que le bourrelet 6 ait une épaisseur sensiblement identique sur toute la périphérie de l'ouverture 4 d'introduction de la main. An intermediate solution is to provide a structure in the form of open loop with overlapping ends and the possibility of sliding one on the other or slide one relative to the other, depending on the flexibility obtained. In this case, the ends of the loop will be advantageously adapted to limit the thickness of material linked to this recovery. In particular, these ends may be shaped so that the bead 6 has a substantially identical thickness over the entire periphery of the opening 4 for introducing the hand.

Les figures 5, 6 et 7 montrent une structure 8' de ce genre constituée d'un corps 21 de section ronde et de deux extrémités 22 et 23 qui se recouvrent. Ces deux extrémités 22 et 23 ont une épaisseur réduite par rapport à celle du corps 21 ; elles ont une forme complémentaire qui, en association, permet de reconstituer sensiblement la section ronde de ce corps 21. On obtient une structure en boucle qui, après écartement, reprend d'elle-même sa configuration initiale par la souplesse du matériau rigide.Figures 5, 6 and 7 show an 8 'structure of this kind consisting a body 21 of round section and two ends 22 and 23 which are overlap. These two ends 22 and 23 have a reduced thickness compared to to that of the body 21; they have a complementary form which, in association, makes it possible to substantially reconstruct the round section of this body 21. We obtain a loop structure which, after spacing, takes over by itself its initial configuration by the flexibility of the rigid material.

Les figures 8 et 9 illustrent une forme de réalisation un peu différente dans laquelle la structure rigide 8" est constituée d'un corps circulaire 24 à section en U renversé formant une sorte de crochet, prolongé par deux extrémités aplaties 25 et 26 qui se recouvrent. Là encore, on obtient une boucle ouverte de forme générale circulaire à structure souple.
Sur la figure 9, le tissu de cotte de mailles avec l'ourlet d'extrémité 9 a été représenté en pointillés. Cette forme particulière de boucle rigide à section en crochet permet de bloquer efficacement la progression d'une lame d'outil et elle améliore l'efficacité du bourrelet 6. Bien entendu, pour être efficace le crochet disposé extérieurement est orienté vers la main de l'utilisateur.Figures 8 and 9 illustrate a slightly different embodiment in which the rigid structure 8 "consists of a circular body 24 with inverted U section forming a kind of hook, extended by two flat ends 25 and 26 which overlap Here again, an open loop of generally circular shape with a flexible structure is obtained.
In Figure 9, the chainmail fabric with the end hem 9 has been shown in dotted lines. This particular form of rigid loop with hook section makes it possible to effectively block the progression of a tool blade and it improves the effectiveness of the bead 6. Of course, to be effective, the hook disposed externally is oriented towards the hand of the 'user.

Le bourrelet saillant conforme à l'invention peut s'avérer gênant dans certains cas de figure, par exemple lorsque l'utilisateur pose son poignet ou son avant-bras sur un plan de travail. Pour limiter cette gène, et pour trouver un compromis acceptable entre la sécurité et le confort d'utilisation, la zone de la périphérie du poignet ou de l'avant-bras qui est située dans le prolongement de l'auriculaire de la main pourra être dépourvue de bourrelet, ou alors le bourrelet à ce niveau pourra avoir une épaisseur limitée.The protruding bead according to the invention can prove to be troublesome in certain cases, for example when the user puts his wrist or his forearm on a work surface. To limit this gene, and to find a acceptable compromise between safety and comfort of use, the area of the periphery of the wrist or forearm which is located in the extension of the little finger of the hand can be devoid of a bead, or the bead at this level may have a limited thickness.

La boucle rigide 8" illustrée sur la figure 8 présente cette caractéristique au niveau de ses deux extrémités aplaties 25 et 26. Pour que cette zone de moindre épaisseur soit en permanence correctement positionnée dans le prolongement du petit doigt de la main, on pourra prévoir de solidariser la structure rapportée 8" avec l'ourlet 9 en cotte de mailles, par exemple au moyen d'un ou de plusieurs anneaux de liaison. The rigid loop 8 "illustrated in FIG. 8 has this characteristic at its two flattened ends 25 and 26. So that this area of less thickness is permanently correctly positioned in the extension of the little finger of the hand, provision may be made to secure the added structure 8 "with hem 9 in chain mail, for example by means of one or more connecting rings.

Sur la structure circulaire 8 de la figure 3, on a représenté une ligne pointillée 27 qui illustre la diminution d'épaisseur susceptible d'être réalisée pour répondre à l'objectif de confort mentionné ci-dessus.On the circular structure 8 of Figure 3, there is shown a line dotted line 27 which illustrates the reduction in thickness likely to be achieved to meet the comfort objective mentioned above.

On a représenté sur la figure 10 une autre forme de réalisation d'un gant en cotte de mailles conforme à la présente invention, muni d'une extension 3 venant recouvrir la partie d'avant-bras de l'utilisateur. Ce gant particulier comporte un premier bourrelet saillant 6' au niveau du poignet et un second bourrelet saillant 6" au niveau de l'extrémité de l'extension 3. Chaque bourrelet 6' et 6" est réalisé au moyen d'un insert circulaire rigide rapporté, logé dans un ourlet approprié. Au niveau du poignet, l'ourlet est réalisé par un dédoublement du tissu de cotte de mailles ou bien au moyen d'un tronçon tubulaire fabriqué indépendamment du gant et fixé par des anneaux de couture.
Entre les deux bourrelets 6' et 6", on remarque la présence d'une structure rigide 28 qui constitue un organe raidisseur permettant de tendre l'extension 3 pour la maintenir en position sur l'avant-bras. Cet organe raidisseur 28 peut être indépendant des structures qui forment les bourrelets saillants 6' et 6", ou bien il peut être réalisé monobloc avec eux. Comme on l'a illustré sur la figure 10, il peut avoir une forme générale en hélice pour s'enrouler au moins partiellement autour de l'avant-bras ; on peut aussi envisager une forme plus simple, rectiligne.FIG. 10 shows another embodiment of a chainmail glove according to the present invention, provided with an extension 3 covering the user's forearm part. This particular glove has a first protruding bead 6 'at the wrist and a second protruding bead 6 "at the end of the extension 3. Each bead 6' and 6" is produced by means of a rigid circular insert attached, housed in a suitable hem. At the wrist, the hem is made by splitting the chain mail fabric or by means of a tubular section made independently of the glove and fixed by sewing rings.
Between the two beads 6 ′ and 6 ″, we note the presence of a rigid structure 28 which constitutes a stiffening member making it possible to tension the extension 3 to keep it in position on the forearm. This stiffening member 28 can be independent of the structures which form the protruding beads 6 'and 6 ", or it can be made in one piece with them. As illustrated in FIG. 10, it can have a general helical shape to wind at least partially around the forearm; we can also consider a simpler, rectilinear form.

L'organe raidisseur 28 est maintenu solidarisé avec le tissu de cotte de mailles formant l'extension 3 par tout moyen approprié, par exemple par l'intermédiaire de petits tronçons rapportés 29 en cotte de mailles, formant des sortes de passants régulièrement répartis. Il peut aussi être intégralement logé dans un ourlet longitudinal aménagé à cet effet., ou bien être fixé par des anneaux de couture.The stiffening member 28 is held integral with the coat fabric meshes forming extension 3 by any suitable means, for example by through small added sections 29 in chain mail, forming sort of passers-by regularly distributed. It can also be fully accommodated in a longitudinal hem provided for this purpose., or else be fixed by sewing rings.

Si besoin est, plusieurs organes raidisseurs 28 peuvent être prévus sur le pourtour de l'extension 3.If necessary, several stiffening members 28 can be provided on around the extension 3.

Les structures rigides utilisées pour former les bourrelets 6' et 6" sont du même genre que celles décrites en liaison avec les modes de réalisation des figures 1 à 9. Si le ou les organes raidisseurs 28 sont réalisés monobloc avec ces structures, on adaptera en conséquence la fixation de l'ensemble sur l'extension 3 en cotte de mailles.The rigid structures used to form the 6 'and 6 "beads are of same kind as those described in connection with the embodiments of Figures 1 to 9. If the stiffening member (s) 28 are made in one piece with these structures, we will adapt the fixing of the assembly accordingly extension 3 in chain mail.

On obtient une extension en cotte de mailles 3 mise en forme de tube par une sorte de châssis rigide. Pour optimiser le recouvrement du membre de l'utilisateur, on pourra prévoir des moyens de serrage complémentaires, non représentés, en forme de sangles de serrage et/ou de simples organes d'accrochage.We obtain an extension in chain mail 3 tube-shaped by a kind of rigid chassis. To optimize the recovery of the member of the user, additional tightening means may be provided, not shown, in the form of tightening straps and / or simple components hooking.

La même structure de raidissement peut être adaptée sur l'avant-bras et éventuellement aussi sur la partie de bras d'un gant de protection venant recouvrir l'intégralité du membre supérieur de l'utilisateur.The same stiffening structure can be adapted on the forearm and possibly also on the arm part of a protective glove coming cover the entire upper limb of the user.

La figure 11 illustre partiellement une autre forme de réalisation possible du bourrelet saillant de protection. Ici le bourrelet 6"' est constitué d'une boucle circulaire 8"' à section en crochet dont la base comporte une pluralité d'orifices 30 permettant la solidarisation avec le tissu de cotte de mailles, au moyen d'anneaux métalliques de jonction qui peuvent être identiques à ceux du tissu de cotte de mailles.
La boucle rigide à section en crochet 8"' peut être réalisée en métal ou en matière plastique ; elle peut être disposée à l'extrémité de l'extension 3 en cotte de mailles ou sur une partie intermédiaire. L'élément de crochetage s'étend extérieurement, orienté vers la partie « main » du gant pour remplir efficacement sa fonction de butée protectrice.Figure 11 partially illustrates another possible embodiment of the protruding protective bead. Here the bead 6 "'is made up of a circular loop 8"' with a hook section, the base of which has a plurality of orifices 30 allowing it to be fixed to the chain mail fabric, by means of metal junction rings which may be identical to that of chain mail fabric.
The rigid loop with hook section 8 "'can be made of metal or plastic; it can be placed at the end of the extension 3 in chain mail or on an intermediate part. The hooking element is extends outwards, oriented towards the "hand" part of the glove to effectively fulfill its protective stop function.

Dans une variante de réalisation, on peut envisager de réaliser le bourrelet saillant sous la forme de deux structures de crochetage annulaires similaires à la représentation de la figure 11, disposées dos à dos. On obtient alors une structure symétrique avec un crochet intérieur et un crochet extérieur qui rend le gant réversible.In an alternative embodiment, it is possible to envisage carrying out the protruding bead in the form of two annular hooking structures similar to the representation of FIG. 11, arranged back to back. We obtain then a symmetrical structure with an inner hook and an outer hook which makes the glove reversible.

Dans une autre variante de réalisation, la structure en crochet 8"' peut être remplacée par une boucle torique à partir de laquelle s'étend une aile latérale munie d'orifices de solidarisation.In another alternative embodiment, the hook structure 8 "'can be replaced by an O-ring from which extends a wing side fitted with fixing holes.

La boucle rigide rapportée 8"' peut aussi être fixée au tissu de cotte de mailles par d'autres moyens, par exemple par des rivets ; elle peut être ouverte ou fermée conformément aux modes de réalisation décrits ci-avant.The rigid 8 "added buckle can also be attached to the mail mesh by other means, for example by rivets; it can be opened or closed in accordance with the embodiments described above.
