Description

La présente invention concerne un harnais destiné à la réalisation de travaux nécessitant une protection individuelle contre les chutes de hauteur, en s'encordant et en se reliant à un point d'ancrage fixe en vue d'effectuer des travaux sur poteaux, façades, armatures, etc.The present invention relates to a harness designed for carrying out work requiring personal protection against falls from a height, by overlapping and connecting to a fixed anchoring point in order to carry out work on posts, facades, reinforcements etc.

Un tel harnais connu de FR 2847171 peut également être utilisé pour la sécurité des personnes pratiquant l'escalade, la spéléologie, l'alpinisme.Such a harness known from FR 2847171 can also be used for the safety of people practicing climbing, caving, mountaineering.

Il est connu, dans l'art antérieur, des harnais ayant une telle destination, comportant de manière connue une partie supérieure constituée d'un ensemble de sangles thoraciques avant et arrière, se prolongeant vers une partie inférieure, pour constituer des sangles cuissardes, les sangles étant reliées entre elles d'une part dans une zone de liaison dorsale de laquelle est rapportée, de manière amovible, une longe d'attache, à un point fixe, et d'autre part à leurs extrémités libres au niveau des sangles cuissardes par des organes de raccordement.It is known, in the prior art, harnesses having such a destination, comprising in a known manner an upper portion consisting of a set of front and rear thoracic straps, extending towards a lower part, to form straps leg straps, the straps being interconnected on the one hand in a dorsal connection zone which is removably attached to a lanyard, at a fixed point, and secondly at their free ends at the level of the leg straps by connecting members.

Bien que donnant généralement satisfaction, ce type de harnais comporte néanmoins un certain nombre d'inconvénients dans sa conception ainsi que dans sa réalisation pratique.Although generally satisfactory, this type of harness nevertheless has a number of drawbacks in its design as well as in its practical implementation.

En effet, dans ce type de harnais connu, il est nécessaire de rapporter un certain nombre d'accessoires pour le réaliser.Indeed, in this type of harness known, it is necessary to report a number of accessories to achieve it.

C'est ainsi qu'au niveau dorsal, les sangles sont maintenues entre elles de manière croisée, par l'intermédiaire d'un dé d'amarrage. Ce dé se prolonge par une zone supérieure d'attache destinée à l'ancrage d'un mousqueton constituant l'extrémité d'une longe amovible.Thus, at the back, the straps are held together crosswise, via a dice darning. This die is extended by an upper attachment zone for anchoring a carabiner forming the end of a removable lanyard.

Il est également connu d'intégrer dans la longe un absorbeur de chocs, se terminant lui-même par un organe de connexion à un point fixe.It is also known to integrate in the lanyard a shock absorber, ending itself by a connecting member at a fixed point.

L'inconvénient est donc bien la multiplicité des pièces détachées nécessaires pour constituer un tel harnais.The disadvantage is therefore the multiplicity of spare parts needed to form such a harness.

De plus, un autre inconvénient majeur réside dans le fait que ce harnais n'est absolument pas protégé des salissures lorsqu'il n'est pas mis en oeuvre et qu'il doit être rangé.In addition, another major disadvantage lies in the fact that this harness is absolutely not protected from dirt when it is not implemented and must be stored.

C'est alors que le harnais subit les salissures faute de protection et que les sangles assorties de la longe ont une tendance à s'emmêler, ce qui rend fastidieux la prochaine utilisation du harnais.It is then that the harness is soiled for lack of protection and that the matching straps of the lanyard have a tendency to tangle, which makes tedious the next use of the harness.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients et concerne à cet effet un harnais antichute du type comportant une partie supérieure constituée d'un ensemble de sangles thoraciques avant et arrière, se prolongeant vers une partie inférieure, pour constituer des sangles cuissardes, les sangles thoraciques avant et arrière et les cuissardes étant reliées entre elles d'une part dans une zone de liaison dorsale de laquelle est issue une longe d'attache à un point fixe, et d'autre part à leurs extrémités libres au niveau des sangles cuissardes par des organes de raccordement, la zone de liaison dorsale est constituée par une plaque semi-rigide formant au moins en partie le fond d'un sac de rangement associé, pour constituer un ensemble multifonctions indissociable, intégrant tous les composants du harnais de façon opérationnelle permanente, à savoir : les sangles thoraciques avant et arrière et les cuissardes, les organes de raccordement de celles-ci, la longe d'attache et le sac de rangement lui-même, intégrant ladite plaque semi-rigide des sangles.The present invention aims to remedy all of these disadvantages and relates for this purpose a fall arrest harness of the type comprising a part upper consisting of a set of front and rear thoracic straps, extending to a lower portion, to form leg straps, front and rear chest straps and waders being interconnected on the one hand in a dorsal connection zone of which is derived from a fastening lanyard at a fixed point, and secondly at their free ends at the waders straps by connecting members, the dorsal connection zone is constituted by a semi-rigid plate forming at least one part of the bottom of an associated storage bag, to constitute an inseparable multifunctional assembly, integrating all the components of the harness in a permanently operational manner, namely: the front and rear thoracic straps and the waders, the connecting members thereof , the lanyard and the storage bag itself, incorporating said semi-rigid plate straps.

L'invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.

Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels:

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective de l'ensemble de harnais selon l'invention, en position opérationnelle, en vue de face.
  • La figure 2 est une vue d'un harnais selon la figure 1, vue de l'arrière, quand il est porté.
  • La figure 3 est une vue en perspective du harnais, en position de rangement dans le sac qui lui est associé.
  • La figure 4 est une vue de détail en plan, de la plaque de liaison dorsale, représentée seule.
  • La figure 5 est une vue en plan, à échelle agrandie, d'une double boucle assurant la liaison dorsale des sangles au niveau de la plaque de liaison.
This description given by way of nonlimiting example, will better understand how the invention can be made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • The figure 1 is a perspective view of the harness assembly according to the invention, in operative position, in front view.
  • The figure 2 is a view of a harness according to the figure 1 , seen from the back, when it is worn.
  • The figure 3 is a perspective view of the harness, in storage position in the bag associated with it.
  • The figure 4 is a detailed plan view of the backplate, shown alone.
  • The figure 5 is a plan view, on an enlarged scale, of a double loop providing the dorsal connection of the straps at the connecting plate.

Le harnais 1 comporte une partie supérieure constituée d'un ensemble de sangles thoraciques avant 2 et arrière 3, se prolongeant vers une partie inférieure pour constituer des sangles cuissardes 4 et 5, les sangles 2,3 et 4,5 étant reliées entre elles d'une part dans une zone de liaison dorsale 6 de laquelle est issue une longe d'attache 7 à un point fixe, et d'autre part à leurs extrémités libres au niveau des sangles cuissardes 4,5 par des organes de raccordement 8,9 et 10,11.The harness 1 has an upper portion consisting of a set of chest straps before 2 and rear 3, extending to a lower portion to form straps leggings 4 and 5, the straps 2,3 and 4,5 being interconnected d firstly in a dorsal connection zone 6 from which a fastening lanyard 7 originates at a fixed point, and secondly at their free ends at the level of the leg straps 4,5 by connecting members 8,9 and 10.11.

Selon le concept inventif de l'invention, la zone de liaison dorsale 6 est constituée par une plaque semi-rigide formant au moins en partie le fond d'un sac de rangement associé 12, pour constituer un ensemble multifonctions indissociable, intégrant tous les composants du harnais 1 de façon opérationnelle permanente, à savoir : les sangles 2,3-4,5, les organes de raccordement 8,9-10,11 de celles-ci, la longe d'attache 7 et le sac de rangement 12 lui-même, intégrant ladite plaque de liaison 6 des sangles.According to the inventive concept of the invention, the dorsal connection zone 6 is constituted by a semi-rigid plate forming at least partly the bottom of an associated storage bag 12, to constitute an indissociable multifunctional assembly, integrating all the components harness 1 in a permanently operational manner, namely: the straps 2,3-4,5, the connecting members 8,9-10,11 thereof, the lanyard 7 and the storage bag 12 him same, integrating said connecting plate 6 straps.

Comme bien visible sur les figures 1, 2 et 4, les sangles 2,3, dans leur partie thoracique arrière, se croisent sur la plaque dorsale 6 en formant un X, par l'intermédiaire de passants 13,14-15,16 de celle-ci, au moins au nombre de deux, au-dessus du point de croisement et au moins au nombre de deux en dessous.As clearly visible on figures 1 , 2 and 4 , the straps 2,3, in their rear thoracic portion, cross on the dorsal plate 6 forming an X, through passers 13,14-15,16 thereof, at least two in number, above the crossing point and at least two in number below.

Selon l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 4, une paire d'autres passants 15a,16a sont intercalés entre les passants supérieurs 13,14 et les passants inférieurs 15,16.According to the embodiment of the figure 4 a pair of other loops 15a, 16a are interposed between the upper loops 13,14 and the lower loops 15,16.

Préférentiellement, les sangles thoraciques 2,3, se prolongeant par les sangles cuissardes 4,5, sont en polychlorure de vinyle de 1,2 mm d'épaisseur.Preferably, the chest straps 2,3, extending by the leg straps 4,5, are made of polyvinyl chloride of 1.2 mm thick.

Selon les figures 1 et 2, au point de croisement dorsal des sangles, est associée à celles-ci une double boucle 17 formant deux lumières de passage 18,19 dans lesquelles se croisent librement des sangles thoraciques arrières 2,3, dans une zone située entre deux passants supérieurs 13,14 de la plaque 12 et deux passants inférieurs 15,16 de la même plaque 12.According to figures 1 and 2 at the dorsal crossover point of the straps, there is associated with them a double loop 17 forming two passage openings 18, 19 in which rear thoracic straps 2,3 cross freely in an area situated between two upper loops 13, 14 of the plate 12 and two lower loops 15,16 of the same plate 12.

La double boucle 7 interdit le coulissement des sangles 2,3 en cas de chute.The double loop 7 prohibits the sliding straps 2,3 in case of a fall.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, au point de croisement dorsal des sangles 2,3, au niveau d'une barrette centrale 20 de la double boucle 17, est amarrée librement une extrémité 7a, refermée sur elle-même, de la longe 7, ainsi intégrée de façon indémontable à l'ensemble de harnais 1.According to another characteristic of the invention, at the dorsal crossing point of the straps 2,3, at a central bar 20 of the double loop 17, is freely docked an end 7a, closed on itself, the lanyard 7, thus integrally integrated to the harness assembly 1.

De cette manière, selon l'un des avantages de l'invention, il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir recours à un mousqueton de liaison à ce niveau, ni de dé d'amarrage.In this way, according to one of the advantages of the invention, it is not necessary to use a carabiner link at this level, or dice darning.

Comme le montre la figure 1, la longe 7 comporte à son extrémité libre, opposée au point de liaison dorsal des sangles 2,3, un mousqueton d'attache 21 à un point fixe, indémontable.As shown in figure 1 , the lanyard 7 has at its free end, opposite the dorsal connection point of the straps 2,3, a carabiner 21 attachment to a fixed point, indémontable.

Le mousqueton 21 est cousu à l'extrémité de la longe 7.The carabiner 21 is sewn at the end of the loin 7.

Celle-ci pourra être d'une longueur comprise entre un et deux mètres.This may be between one and two meters long.

Par ailleurs, un absorbeur d'énergie 22 est interposé entre le mousqueton d'attache 21 et la longe 7, de manière indémontable.Furthermore, an energy absorber 22 is interposed between the carabiner 21 and the lanyard 7, indémontable way.

L'absorbeur d'énergie 22 est disposé au plus près du mousqueton 21.The energy absorber 22 is disposed as close as possible to the carabiner 21.

Un tel ensemble 1 est ainsi constitué d'éléments indissociables, mais complètement réglables, permettant une adaptation à la morphologie de tout utilisateur.Such a set 1 thus consists of indissociable elements, but completely adjustable, allowing adaptation to the morphology of any user.

En fait, la plaque de liaison 6 est rapportée par couture sur le fond interne du sac 12 lorsque le harnais 1 est en position de rangement, sa mise en position opérationnelle s'effectuant par retournement du sac 12 sur lui-même.In fact, the connecting plate 6 is reported by stitching on the inner bottom of the bag 12 when the harness 1 is in the storage position, its setting operational position being by turning the bag 12 on itself.

Bien que non représentée, la fermeture du sac 12, tant en position de rangement qu'en position opérationnelle, s'effectue par l'intermédiaire de pans 12a,12b superposables issus du fond, comportant des moyens de retenue auto-agrippants.Although not shown, the closure of the bag 12, in both the storage position and operational position, is effected by means of overlapping panels 12a, 12b from the bottom, comprising self-gripping retaining means.

Bien entendu, d'autres moyens de fermeture pourront être imaginés, comme boutons pression, fermetures à glissière, etc.Of course, other means of closure can be imagined, such as snaps, zippers, etc.

Pour une meilleure manutention, et pour en faciliter le transport, le sac de rangement 12 associé au harnais 1 comporte à sa partie supérieure une poignée de transport 23.For better handling, and for easy transportation, the storage bag 12 associated with the harness 1 has at its upper part a carrying handle 23.

Préférentiellement, le sac de rangement 12 associé au harnais 1 est réalisé en un matériau synthétique fluorescent.Preferably, the storage bag 12 associated with the harness 1 is made of a fluorescent synthetic material.

Comme le sac de rangement 12, les sangles 2,3-4,5 sont aussi en matériau fluorescent à des fins de sécurité.Like the storage bag 12, the straps 2,3-4,5 are also made of fluorescent material for security purposes.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, les sangles cuissardes 4,5 sont reliées entre elles par une sangle fessière 24.As can be seen on the figure 1 , the crotch straps 4,5 are connected together by a buttock strap 24.

Le harnais 1 ainsi composé comporte également une ceinture de poitrine 25 se décomposant en deux parties 25a,25b réglables en hauteur par simple coulissement sur les sangles thoraciques 2,3 reliant celles-ci à l'avant, avec un organe de réglage et de fermeture et d'ouverture 26,27 constitué en fait respectivement par la partie mâle d'une boucle et sa partie femelle, encliquetables l'une par rapport à l'autre.The harness 1 thus composed also comprises a chest belt 25 decomposing into two parts 25a, 25b adjustable in height by simply sliding on the chest straps 2,3 connecting them to the front, with a regulating and closing member and opening 26,27 actually constituted respectively by the male part of a loop and its female part, snap-fit relative to each other.

La liaison entre les sangles 2,3 dites thoraciques et les sangles 4,5 dites de cuissardes s'effectue par l'intermédiaire de deux boucles simples 28,29.The connection between the so-called 2.3 thoracic straps and the so-called 4.5 straps of waders is performed by means of two single loops 28,29.

Enfin, la longe 7 comporte à proximité de son extrémité une manchette 30 fixée sur ladite extrémité et comportant les moyens de fixation auto-agrippants permettant le rangement de la longe 7.Finally, the lanyard 7 comprises near its end a sleeve 30 fixed on said end and comprising the self-gripping fastening means for storing the lanyard 7.
