Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of stage props, and more particularly to an accessory harness that allows a stage performer to wear at least one stage accessory on the back. It proposes more particularly a frame of such a harness, as well as a harness incorporating it.
- the invention finds applications, particularly in the field of live performance, namely including music hall, theater, dance, cabaret, circus, etc.
- a Cabaret magazine such as the current magazine “Féerie” of the Moulin Rouge Ball, is composed of a multitude of about 100 artists, including 60 “Doriss Girls” recruited around the world, using 1000 feather costumes, rhinestones and sequins.
- the entertainment effect provided to the spectators by the show comes mainly from the visual quality of the artists' movements, and their accessories, on the stage. In this respect, the amplitude, the speed of execution, and the synchronization of these movements are decisive.
- the frame of a harness is made with portions of rods or metal son, of circular section with a diameter of a few millimeters or so, and which are conventionally called "piano strings" .
- Such elements are carbonized steel (hardened), they therefore have a high tensile strength, along with a certain static forming capacity, and a certain elasticity in dynamics.
- a part 11 is made to lean against the back of the artist, and parts 12 and 13 for holding the harness on the shoulders of the artist, in the manner of suspenders. More particularly, properly shaped elements are welded together in places so that the frame as a whole affects a configuration giving the parts 11, 12 and 13 above, according to its function. Brazing points 14 are made in particular at the end of the shoulder straps 12 and 13, at the intersection between portions of piano wire that intersect, and / or at the point of contact between such portions that meet . Perforated washers 15 are also welded to the piano strings, at specific locations in the backrest portion 11, to allow attachment of the accessory with bolts (not shown) passing through these washers. The frame is then dressed, by covering with foam, cotton wool, carded cotton or the like, and finally a ceremonial fabric such as a silky fabric sewn over.
- the entire harness Because of the constitution of its frame, the entire harness has a certain overall elasticity, and especially parts 12 and 13 which form the straps. The harness is therefore subjected to deformation stresses, which are exerted almost at all points of the frame.
- the alignment of the accessory of the artist concerned may deviate from that of the accessories of the other artists on the stage, which results in a visual imperfection for the audience.
- the lack of positioning of the accessory generates an asymmetry of the forces exerted on the shoulders of the artist, which must be compensated by postures and / or compensatory movements with very negative effects. This results in effect muscle and / or joint pain for the artist, both during the effort and then.
- US504101 A discloses a device, according to the prior art, for hanging on the shoulders a backpack, a tourist bag and other such bag.
- the invention aims to eliminate, or at least mitigate, all or part of the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above.
- a first aspect of the invention provides a reinforcement according to claim 1.
- the parts of the frame that are in contact with the body of the artist, through a dressing made for example of foam and ornamental fabric, are rigid. They can not be distorted by the swaying of the stage accessory that is caused by the movements of the artist. Nevertheless, a certain elasticity remains locally at the junction between the backsplash and the straps, which elasticity makes it possible in particular to dampen these swings to a certain extent.
- the harness is therefore stronger and more resistant in time, while being more comfortable and more respectful of the physical integrity of the artists. Maintenance operations are virtually eliminated, or at least much less frequently needed.
- the backsplash comprises a rigid front plate and a back plate, substantially vertical and parallel to each other while being held rigidly spaced apart from one another at least a part of their surfaces opposite. This makes it possible to increase the rigidity of the armature.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a harness for a stage artist, comprising a frame according to the first aspect.
- a harness consists of a frame covered with a covering 30.
- the latter comprises a layer of foam, cotton wool, carded cotton or the like, itself covered by a decorative coating such as silky fabric, usually of a shimmering color.
- This composition of the dressing is an example only, any other composition may be preferred, according to the needs of the application. Also, more complex skins can be used, for example to cover different parts of the frame with different materials, different textures, colors, etc.
- the frame itself essentially comprises a rigid backsplash 21, coupled to two rigid branches forming straps 22 and 23 through, for each of them, an elastic connecting element.
- an elastic connecting element To the Figure 2 only the elastic joining element 24 associated with the left shoulder 22 is visible, the one associated with the right shoulder 23 being shown covered by the covering 30.
- the backsplash 21 and the straps 22 and 23 are said to be rigid in the sense that, under the normal conditions of use provided for the application in question, they offer no capacity for deformation, elastic or otherwise, by bending, twisting, or other. This does not mean that these constituent elements could not be deformed, even broken, if they were subjected to efforts exceeding a certain threshold, but this means that this threshold is well beyond the forces likely to be applied to them in conditions of normal use of the harness.
- the harness is represented in its normal configuration, when positioned and held on the shoulders of a user, for example a cabaret dancer.
- the backsplash 21 is plated on the back of the user, preferably in the upper part of the back so as not to hinder the movements of the basin and legs of the artist. Maintaining the backrest in the pressed position against the back of the dancer results from the action of the branches forming straps, such as the strap 22. Indeed, this strap is bent backwards so as to pass under the armpits of the dancer.
- Each ramp ends with a hook bearing the reference 42 for the ramp 22 visible at the Figure 2 and at the Figure 3 , and the reference 43 for the ramp 23 which is visible only to the Figure 2 .
- a thong or strap 35 can pass in the back of the dancer to connect the hooks 42 and 43 to one another, and / or backrest 21, to stabilize the position of the harness despite the movements of the dancer, without, however, hurting her or hindering her movements.
- the strap 35 may be made of an elastic material or not. This may be for example a leather belt, a cotton ribbon, an elastic band, or the like. These examples are in no way limiting.
- the backrest thus comprises three studs 31, 32 and 33.
- the stud 31 is disposed in the upper part of the backrest, on the left, while the stud 32 is disposed in the upper part, on the right, and that the stud 33 is disposed in the lower part, substantially in the center (considered along a horizontal axis from the left to the right of the dancer).
- This number and this arrangement of the studs allow fixation in good conditions of stability, at least one accessory on the backsplash.
- the accessory may comprise a plate of dimensions in relation to those of the backsplash, provided with holes corresponding to the studs 31, 32 and 33, which enable the platen to be pressed and fixed against the backrest of the harness, for example using bolts of type "butterfly".
- the studs 31, 32 and 33 may be pressed and fixed against the backrest of the harness, for example using bolts of type "butterfly".
- any variation in the number or position of the studs is possible, depending on the intended application, and in particular the number, dimensions and weight of the accessories to support.
- more than one accessory can be maintained on the backrest 21 by means of such studs.
- each of the straps 22 and 23 may be in the form of a tube, for example an aluminum tube 6060 T6, of circular section with a diameter equal to 20 millimeters.
- the tube is suitably bent by force, and flattened at its ends.
- the bending of each of the tubes can be performed using a suitable template.
- the upper end of the tube intended to be coupled to the backsplash 21 via an elastic element such as the element 24, is crushed to affect a substantially horizontal flat shape.
- the free end of the ramp to which is fixed the hook 42 or 43, is crushed so as to have a substantially vertical flat shape.
- the upper end of the strap can lie flat on the shoulder of the dancer, and its lower end can rest flat against its side.
- the hook 42 may ideally be fixed on the outer side of the lower end of the left shoulder strap 22, so as not to hurt the dancer.
- the hook 43 of the right shoulder strap 23 (visible on the Figure 2 ) is preferably located on the outer face of this ramp, for the same reasons.
- Fixing hooks 42 and 43 may be made by screws or rivets, preferably ensuring that no part exceeds the inner face of the flat portion of the free end of the ramp. For example, if a screw is used, it is oriented from the inside to the outside and its head is held by a countersunk hole.
- the attachment is obtained by a rivet, the end of which is located on the inside, that is to say on the flank side of the dancer, is matted or filed down.
- no protruding part of the fastening means of the hook is then likely to hurt the artist when the harness is clamped in position, with the free ends of the straps pressed against its flanks.
- the harness is used in conditions of comfort and ergonomics optimized.
- the backrest 21 essentially comprises three rigid parts, made integral with each other non-elastically.
- the fixing means of these three elements 25, 26 and 27 do not introduce any point of deformation of the backrest, play, or elasticity, under the normal conditions of use of the harness.
- these three elements are rigid and rigidly interdependent on each other. In fact, thus providing three elements instead of, for example, a single plate, precisely increases the rigidity of the backrest as a whole.
- the backsplash comprises a rear plate 25 and a front plate 26.
- these two plates rest against each other in the lower part of the backsplash, while they are spaced apart from each other. other in the upper part.
- a bracket 27 is in fact disposed between the two plates 25 and 26, serving as a spacer between these two plates and participating in the best rigidity of the assembly.
- the two plates 25 and 26 and the bracket 27 may for example be made of aluminum plated sheet, for example, in the material known under the name AU4GA5 (2024). It is a sheet with a 5 micron aluminum plating, which has the advantage of being a clean material. 4G aluminum is a hard-cured material, so that it is particularly resistant even at low thickness. For example, plates 12 millimeters thick are used, which gives the armature a very reasonable weight, and even less than for reinforcements steel of the prior art described in the introduction. This further allows bending of the sheet, as will now be described for each of the plates 25 and 26, and the square 27.
- FIG. 5 there is shown a plan view of the front plate 26.
- This plate affects the general shape of a heart, with the tip downwards and two left and right ears extending upwards.
- the upper edge 51 of the plate 26, between these ears affects a concave shape with a certain curvature which will be discussed later.
- drilled holes 52 for example of diameter equal to 4 millimeters.
- the plate 26 is preferably symmetrical with respect to this vertical axis 53.
- a light 54 for example of diameter equal to 120 millimeters, is open in the center of the plate, in order to reduce the weight of the reinforcement and the surface area. pressing against the back of the artist. This light is obtained by piercing the plate 26 with a circular hole whose center corresponds to the intersection between the vertical axis 53 and a horizontal axis 55.
- Holes 56 and 57 are drilled in the area corresponding to the base of the upper right and left ears of the plate. The respective centers of these holes are aligned on the same horizontal line. According to the vertical, this line is substantially between the lowest point of the curvature of the upper edge 51, and the highest point of the light 54.
- the holes 56 and 57 have for example a diameter equal to 15 millimeters.
- hole 58 is also drilled along the vertical axis of symmetry 53, substantially at equal distance (along this vertical axis) from the horizontal axis 55 as the holes 56 and 57, so between the most bottom of the light 54 and the lower end of the plate 26. Its diameter is for example equal to 6 millimeters.
- Another hole 59 is further pierced between the hole 58 and the lower end of the plate 26. It is an oblong hole whose greatest length (which extends vertically) is equal to about 10 millimeters, and the width (horizontally) is equal to about 8 millimeters, in one example. This hole can be used for the passage of a holding tape such as the ribbon 35 visible in the Figure 3 .
- the front plate 26 is slightly bent forwardly from an axis corresponding substantially to the horizontal axis 55 of the Figure 5 .
- This bending is intended to allow the plate 26 to marry the rounded shape of the back, at the base of the neck, the artist.
- the bending is typically limited to a maximum angle of about 30 ° with the vertical.
- the lower end of the plate is, conversely, slightly curved rearward, from a horizontal axis passing substantially through the center of the hole 59. This bending is intended to prevent the end plate 26 does not hurt the artist by rubbing against his spine.
- the back plate 25 will now be described with reference to the diagrams of Figures 6 and 7 .
- this plate is represented flat.
- To the Figure 7 it is shown in a view on the left side, after two folds in its upper part, which will be explained below.
- the plate 25 also affects the general shape of a heart whose dimensions and shape correspond globally to that of the plate 26 of the Figure 5 , and are even identical for the lower part.
- the plate 25 also has a concave shape facing upwards at its upper edge 61. It also comprises a circular opening 64, of the same radius as the opening 54 of the plate 26, and whose center corresponds to the intersection of a vertical symmetric axis 63 and a horizontal axis 65.
- the plate 25 comprises holes 68 and 69 respectively corresponding to the holes 58 and 59 of the plate 26 of the Figure 5 regarding the position and the passage dimensions.
- the plate 25 comprises two holes 66 and 67, positioned as the holes 56 and 57 of the plate 26 so as to be concentric when the plates are superimposed, but with a smaller diameter, namely for example, a diameter of 6 millimeters as the hole 68.
- the holes 66, 67 and 68 are intended for fixing long screws including the threaded rods protruding towards the rear correspond to the studs 32, 31 and 33 respectively ( Figure 2 ).
- the holes 56 and 57 in the front plate 26 are intended to allow the insertion of these screws or bolts and / or their tightening by screwdriver or key, once the two plates 25 and 26 and the spacer 27 assembled.
- holes 73 are evenly distributed along the left and right edges of the plate 25 between the level of the horizontal axis 65 and the bottom of the plate 25, for example three holes on the left side and three holes on the right side of the plate.
- Other holes 74 for example five in number, are drilled along a horizontal line which is, in the vertical direction, slightly above the line passing through the centers of the holes 66 and 67. It is For example, it has holes with a diameter of 4 millimeters.
- the holes 73 and 74 like the holes 52 of the other plate 26, are intended for fixing the front plate 26 to the rear plate 25, preferably by rivets.
- the rear plate 25 comprises two parts 71 and 72 which are folded with respect to the general plane of the sheet metal sheet of which the plate 25 is made.
- the folded parts 71 and 72 are also visible on the plate.
- the portion 71 is folded horizontally from a first axis of folding 60, which is a horizontal axis located above the horizontal line through which the centers of the holes 66 and 67 pass. After this folding, the lower part of the plate 25 and its folded portion 71 form an angle slightly less than 90 °.
- the portion 72 is then folded up again from a second folding axis 71 which is a generally horizontal axis but extending along a curved line whose concavity is oriented upwards.
- the horizontal axis of folding 60 is, according to the vertical, substantially equidistant from the lowest point of the curvature of the upper edge 61 of the plate 26 and the highest point of the opening 64.
- intersection between the axis of folding 70 and the vertical axis of symmetry 63 is, for its part, approximately at the center of the distance between, on the one hand, the intersection between the folding axis 60 and the vertical axis 63, and secondly the lowest point of the curvature that the upper edge 61 of the plate 25 has.
- the portion 72 After folding, the portion 72 forms an angle of approximately 30 ° maximum with the vertical, which corresponds substantially to the angle that forms, with the vertical, the curved upper part of the plate 26.
- bracket 27 is obtained from a sheet of plane Alu sheet cut and pierced as shown in FIG. Figure 8 (which is a flat view), and folded to get to the square shown at the Figure 9 (which is a view on the left side).
- the upper edge 81 of the sheet metal sheet ie, of the square before folding, has an upward concave curvature, the opening of which is a little larger than that of the curvature of the upper edges 51 and 61 of the front plate 26 and the back plate 25, respectively.
- the width l (dimension along the horizontal) of the Alu plate of which the square is made, corresponds substantially to that of the plates 25 and 26 in their upper part.
- the axis of folding 80 is a horizontal axis which is located substantially, along the vertical, at half the height L (dimension along the vertical) of the plate, considered at the left and right side edges thereof.
- Holes 28 are made along a curved line extending between the fold axis 80 and the upper edge 81, and having substantially the same curvature as the edge 81. There are thus, for example, two holes 28 of the left side and, symmetrically, two holes 28 on the right side. The diameter of these holes is for example equal to 4 millimeters. They are used to fix the bracket on the back plate 25, via rivets.
- the upper part 91 of the plate (the one comprising the holes 28 and the edge 81), is folded along the axis 80 towards the horizontal so that, after folding, it makes an angle slightly greater than 90 ° with the part lower 90 (the one opposite the edge 81), the latter being arranged vertically in the assembled configuration of the frame.
- the elastic coupling elements between the backrest 21 and the straps 22 and 23, comprises for example a leaf spring.
- a spring comprises a stack of metal blades, for example stainless steel, and preferably of the same dimensions in order to have only one reference.
- a leaf spring has a high damping coefficient, for displacements, i.e., very small deformation amplitudes.
- its essentially flat shape is compatible with its attachment mode as it will appear above, and with the cladding of the frame.
- the bracket is positioned within the angle formed by the bending at 90 ° of the horizontal portion 71 of the rear plate 25.
- Four holes of diameter equal to 4 millimeters are drilled in the latter, using the holes 28 of the upper portion 91 of the bracket as a drilling template so that there is no misalignment between the holes 28 on the bracket and those corresponding to them on the plate 25.
- bracket 27 ensures the stability of the folding angles of the rear plate 25.
- the lower / vertical portion 90 of the square is also drilled using the two holes 66 and 67 of the vertical / lower portion of the plate 25 as a template.
- a screw with the distal end (opposite the head) facing backward, which is tightened with a nut and a washer called "fan".
- the threaded rods of these screws whose length is for example equal to 30 millimeters, form the stud 31 and 32, respectively, for fixing the accessory using, for example, "butterfly" type nuts.
- this bolt screw and nut
- this bolt is also used for fixing on the backrest, the corresponding elastic coupling element, as the element 24 for the left side, in addition to the bolt attachment mentioned in the previous paragraph.
- a first end of the elastic coupling elements is fixed between the backsplash and the straps such as the spring 24 for the left side.
- the straps such as the spring 24 for the left side.
- two holes are made therethrough, of 4 and 6 millimeters in diameter. The holes thus obtained are intended for fixing the stack on the vertical part of the rear plate 25 of the backsplash, by the bolts 29 and by the screws 31 and 32, as has been said in the two paragraphs above.
- the front plate 26 is drilled through the holes 73 of the rear plate 25 used as a template, and the two plates are fixed directly to one another, in their lower part, through these holes, for example to using rivets.
- the openings 54 and 64 are then positioned concentrically. This fixation is completed with a bolt whose screw passes through the holes 58 and 68, concentric, provided on each of the plates 26 and 25, respectively.
- the stem of the screw then corresponds to the stud 33 ( Figure 2 ).
- the stacking of the plates constituting the elastic coupling element such as the element 24 for the left side of the harness is bent forward.
- it is a stack of metal blades, it can not really be a "folding", but only a bending, in that the radius of local curvature of blades is relatively high compared to that which could be obtained for folding a blade alone.
- the fact that the three blades are bent simultaneously implies that we have a higher angle of curvature than we would have when bending a single blade.
- the two ends of the stack are in respective planes which are formed at an angle substantially equal to 90 °.
- the end On the side already attached to the backsplash, the end is vertical.
- the end is substantially horizontal.
- the stack of blades is drilled with two holes, by which the corresponding shoulder strap (for example the shoulder strap 22 for the left side of the harness) is fixed, for example with other rivets 29 visible to the Figure 2 .
- the harness although having a rigid structure at the straps and backrest, has an elastic coupling between the first and the latter. This coupling makes it possible to attenuate, especially at the point of contact between the straps and the top of the artist's shoulder, the forces exerted by the movements of heeling and / or pitching of the accessory or accessories supported. by the harness.
- the end of the elastic coupling element 24 attached to the shoulder strap 22 is preferably above it. In this way, it is the flattened part of the tube which is made the strap, which leans on the top of the shoulder of the artist. The contact is therefore frank and stable, because of the rigidity of the strap, and is therefore unlikely to hurt the artist.
- rivets used are for example of the type of round head rivets, of the type used in aviation.
- the heads of the rivets projecting from surfaces intended to come into contact with the body of the artist are preferably filed, or matted, in order to avoid any risk of injury, and damage to the covering. 30 of the harness.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte de manière générale au domaine des accessoires de scène, et plus spécialement à un harnais porte-accessoire qui permet à un artiste de scène de porter au moins un accessoire de scène sur le dos. Elle propose plus particulièrement une armature d'un tel harnais, ainsi qu'un harnais l'incorporant.The present invention relates generally to the field of stage props, and more particularly to an accessory harness that allows a stage performer to wear at least one stage accessory on the back. It proposes more particularly a frame of such a harness, as well as a harness incorporating it.
L'invention trouve des applications, notamment dans le secteur du spectacle vivant, à savoir notamment le music-hall, le théâtre, la danse, le cabaret, le cirque, etc.The invention finds applications, particularly in the field of live performance, namely including music hall, theater, dance, cabaret, circus, etc.
Une revue de Cabaret telle que l'actuelle revue "Féerie" du Bal du Moulin Rouge, est composée d'une troupe d'environ 100 artistes, dont les 60 "Doriss Girls" recrutées dans le monde entier, utilisant 1000 costumes de plumes, de strass et de paillettes.A Cabaret magazine such as the current magazine "Féerie" of the Moulin Rouge Ball, is composed of a troupe of about 100 artists, including 60 "Doriss Girls" recruited around the world, using 1000 feather costumes, rhinestones and sequins.
Ces artistes sont véritablement des sportifs de haut niveau, qui doivent répondre à des critères de sélection très sévères, portant notamment sur leurs capacités physiques, leur aptitude à évoluer sur scène selon une chorégraphie qui sollicite énormément ces capacités.These artists are truly top-level athletes, who must meet very strict selection criteria, including their physical abilities, their ability to perform on stage in a choreography that requires a lot of these abilities.
L'effet de divertissement procuré aux spectateurs par le spectacle provient essentiellement de la qualité visuelle des mouvements des artistes, et de leurs accessoires, sur la scène. A cet égard, l'amplitude, la rapidité d'exécution, et la synchronisation de ces mouvements sont déterminants.The entertainment effect provided to the spectators by the show comes mainly from the visual quality of the artists' movements, and their accessories, on the stage. In this respect, the amplitude, the speed of execution, and the synchronization of these movements are decisive.
Dans le contexte de la présente description, on considère les accessoires qui sont portés par les artistes, généralement sur le dos, par l'intermédiaire d'un harnais positionné et maintenu au niveau des épaules de l'artiste. Il s'agit typiquement d'un ensemble de plumes, de strass, de paillettes, et, plus récemment, de lumières électriques, qui sont arrangés à la façon d'une "roue de pan" ou similaire.In the context of this description, we consider the accessories that are worn by the artists, usually on the back, through a harness positioned and maintained at the level of the shoulders of the artist. It is typically a set of feathers, rhinestones, sequins, and, more recently, electric lights, which are arranged in the manner of a "pan wheel" or the like.
Certains tableaux du spectacle font appel à des accessoires très encombrants, et très lourds. Les dimensions hors tout de tels accessoires, une fois positionnés et maintenus en position sur l'artiste, peuvent largement dépasser en hauteur, et atteindre voire dépasser dans le plan de la scène, respectivement sa taille et son envergure bras écartés. Leur poids est classiquement compris entre 8 et 12 kilogrammes, en tenant compte de la présence éventuelle d'une batterie électrique pour l'alimentation d'un dispositif lumineux intégré, du type de rampes de diodes électroluminescentes (LED), de tubes de Néon, ou similaires.Some paintings in the show use very bulky accessories, and very heavy. The overall dimensions of such accessories, once positioned and held in position on the artist, can largely to exceed in height, and to reach or even exceed in the plan of the stage, respectively its size and its arm span spread out. Their weight is conventionally between 8 and 12 kilograms, taking into account the possible presence of an electric battery for the supply of an integrated light device, of the type of light-emitting diode (LED) ramps, of Neon tubes, or the like.
En référence à la
Par assemblage de plusieurs tels éléments correctement cintrés, on réalise une partie 11 destinée à s'appuyer contre le dos de l'artiste, et des parties 12 et 13 destinées au maintien du harnais sur les épaules de l'artiste, à la manière de bretelles. Plus particulièrement, des éléments correctement conformés sont soudés entre eux par endroits afin que l'armature dans son ensemble affecte une configuration donnant les parties 11, 12 et 13 précitées, conformément à sa fonction. Des points de soudure à la brasure 14 sont notamment réalisés à l'extrémité des bretelles 12 et 13, à l'intersection entre des portions de corde à piano qui se croisent, et/ou au point de contact entre de telles portions qui se rejoignent. Des rondelles perforées 15 sont également soudées sur les cordes à piano, à des endroits déterminés de la partie 11 formant dossier, afin de permettre la fixation de l'accessoire à l'aide de boulons (non représentés) passant à travers ces rondelles. L'armature est ensuite habillée, par recouvrement avec de la mousse, de la ouate, du coton cardé ou similaire, et finalement d'un tissu d'apparat tel qu'un tissu soyeux cousu pardessus.By assembling several such well-bent elements, a
Du fait de la constitution de son armature, l'ensemble du harnais présente une certaine élasticité d'ensemble, et notamment des parties 12 et 13 qui forment les bretelles. Le harnais subit donc des contraintes de déformation, qui s'exercent à peu près à tous endroits de l'armature.Because of the constitution of its frame, the entire harness has a certain overall elasticity, and especially
Or, aux divers endroits où des soudures ont été réalisées, l'acier a été porté au rouge pour le dépôt de brasure, en sorte qu'il a perdu localement ses propriétés de résistance mécanique à la rupture. On dit qu'il est « détrempé ». De ce fait, l'armature du harnais présente en ces endroits une fragilité mécanique. Il en résulte que les cordes à piano peuvent se casser au niveau des soudures. Il peut aussi arriver que les soudures elles-mêmes ne résistent pas aux efforts mécaniques appliqués à l'armature, et lâchent.However, in the various places where welds were made, the steel was brought to red for the deposition of solder, so that it lost locally its properties of mechanical strength at break. It is said that it is "soggy". As a result, the armature of the harness presents in these places a mechanical fragility. As a result, the piano strings can break at the welds. It may also happen that the welds themselves do not withstand the mechanical forces applied to the frame, and let go.
A chaque fois qu'une corde à piano casse ou qu'une soudure lâche, la portion de l'armature prend un certain jeu mécanique, qui peut aller jusqu'à un mouvement de ripage entre des portions de corde à piano juxtaposées. En dépit de la mousse entourant l'armature, ce ripage entre des portions de corde à piano est souvent la source de blessures pour l'artiste. Cela est particulièrement fréquent dans la portion de l'armature qui s'appuie sur les épaules de l'artiste, sur lesquelles s'exercent les contraintes mécaniques les plus importantes.Whenever a piano string breaks or a loose solder, the portion of the frame takes a certain mechanical play, which can go as far as a shifting movement between portions of piano wire juxtaposed. Despite the froth surrounding the frame, this shifting between portions of piano wire is often the source of injury to the artist. This is particularly common in the portion of the frame that rests on the shoulders of the artist, on which the most important mechanical constraints are exerted.
Par ailleurs, sous l'effet du poids de l'accessoire, il peut en résulter une déformation statique de l'armature qui se traduit inévitablement par un mauvais positionnement de l'accessoire par rapport au corps de l'artiste. Il y a deux conséquences à ce phénomène. Premièrement, l'alignement de l'accessoire de l'artiste concerné peut s'écarter de celui des accessoires des autres artistes présents sur la scène, ce qui se traduit par une imperfection visuelle pour les spectateurs. Deuxièmement, le défaut de positionnement de l'accessoire, engendre une dissymétrie des forces exercées sur les épaules de l'artiste, qui doit être compensée par des postures et/ou mouvements de compensation aux effets très négatifs. Il en résulte en effet des douleurs musculaires et/ou articulaires pour l'artiste, à la fois pendant l'effort et ensuite. Ces douleurs, qui s'ajoutent aux blessures superficielles dues au ripage des éléments en cordes à piano, affectent l'état de santé des artistes. Au demeurant, il peut en résulter des périodes d'inaptitude temporaire des artistes conduisant à un arrêt de travail, qui, au-delà des inconvénients humains et sociaux, posent des problèmes d'organisation de la revue pour assurer le bon déroulement des représentations.Moreover, under the effect of the weight of the accessory, it can result in a static deformation of the frame which inevitably results in a bad positioning of the accessory relative to the body of the artist. There are two consequences to this phenomenon. First, the alignment of the accessory of the artist concerned may deviate from that of the accessories of the other artists on the stage, which results in a visual imperfection for the audience. Secondly, the lack of positioning of the accessory, generates an asymmetry of the forces exerted on the shoulders of the artist, which must be compensated by postures and / or compensatory movements with very negative effects. This results in effect muscle and / or joint pain for the artist, both during the effort and then. These pains, which add to the superficial wounds caused by the shifting of the elements into piano strings, affect the state of health of the artists. Moreover, this may result in periods of temporary incapacity of artists leading to a work stoppage, which, beyond the human and social disadvantages, organizational problems of the magazine to ensure the smooth running of performances.
Enfin, la réparation de l'armature nécessite le déshabillage du harnais, ce qui implique notamment de découdre puis recoudre le tissu d'apparat. Pour éviter d'avoir à transmettre l'armature à un atelier de serrurerie pour la reprise des soudures, on peut chercher à remettre en état le harnais par le recours à du fil métallique ou du ruban adhésif 16, mais une telle réparation est éphémère, et le harnais ne reste utilisable que dans un mode dégradé seulement. Les opérations manuelles ci-dessus se traduisent par des coûts de maintenance et une immobilisation temporaire du harnais.Finally, the repair of the frame requires the undressing of the harness, which involves in particular to unstitch and then sew the ceremonial fabric. To avoid having to transmit the frame to a locksmith workshop for the resumption of welding, we can seek to repair the harness by the use of wire or
Le document
L'invention vise à supprimer, ou du moins atténuer, tout ou partie des inconvénients de l'art antérieur précités.The invention aims to eliminate, or at least mitigate, all or part of the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above.
A cet effet, un premier aspect de l'invention propose une armature selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, a first aspect of the invention provides a reinforcement according to claim 1.
Ainsi, les parties de l'armature qui sont en contact avec le corps de l'artiste, à travers un habillage fait par exemple de mousse et de tissu d'ornement, sont rigides. Elles ne peuvent pas se déformer sous l'effet des balancements de l'accessoire de scène qui sont provoqués par les mouvements de l'artiste. Néanmoins, une certaine élasticité demeure localement à la jonction entre le dosseret et les bretelles, laquelle élasticité permet en particulier d'amortir ces balancements dans une certaine mesure. Le harnais est donc plus solide et résiste mieux dans le temps, tout en étant plus confortable et plus respectueux de l'intégrité physique des artistes. Les opérations de maintenance sont quasiment éliminées, ou du moins beaucoup moins fréquemment nécessaires. Le dosseret comprend une plaque avant et une plaque arrière rigides, sensiblement verticales et parallèles l'une à l'autre en étant maintenues rigidement espacées l'une de l'autre au niveau d'au moins une partie de leurs surfaces en regard. Ceci permet d'augmenter la rigidité de l'armature.Thus, the parts of the frame that are in contact with the body of the artist, through a dressing made for example of foam and ornamental fabric, are rigid. They can not be distorted by the swaying of the stage accessory that is caused by the movements of the artist. Nevertheless, a certain elasticity remains locally at the junction between the backsplash and the straps, which elasticity makes it possible in particular to dampen these swings to a certain extent. The harness is therefore stronger and more resistant in time, while being more comfortable and more respectful of the physical integrity of the artists. Maintenance operations are virtually eliminated, or at least much less frequently needed. The backsplash comprises a rigid front plate and a back plate, substantially vertical and parallel to each other while being held rigidly spaced apart from one another at least a part of their surfaces opposite. This makes it possible to increase the rigidity of the armature.
Selon des modes de réalisation de l'invention, pris isolément ou en combinaison, en outre:
- une extrémité supérieure la plaque avant est cintrée vers l'avant, pour épouser la forme du dos de l'artiste au niveau de la nuque;
- la plaque arrière comprend, dans sa partie supérieure, une première partie pliée à l'horizontale vers la plaque avant, et prolongée par une seconde partie pliée à la verticale vers le haut, qui s'appuie contre la plaque avant et est fixée à ladite plaque avant; cet agencement permet d'obtenir l'espacement souhaité entre les deux plaques avant et arrière;
- l'armature comprend une équerre agencée entre la plaque avant et la plaque arrière de manière à les maintenir espacées l'une de l'autre; cette équerre contribue à renforcer la rigidité du dosseret;
- l'équerre comprend une partie horizontale fixée à la partie horizontale de la plaque arrière, et une partie verticale fixée à la plaque arrière, à l'arrière de ladite partie horizontale de la plaque arrière; ainsi agencée, l'équerre permet d'éviter que l'angle de pliage de la plaque arrière ne soit modifié sous l'effet des contraintes exercées par les mouvements de l'accessoire;
- le dosseret comprend une ouverture centrale, qui permet de réduire le poids du harnais, et facilite en outre le recouvrement par enrobage de l'armature avec des matériaux d'habillage;
- les bretelles sont formées en tube circulaire, aplati horizontalement à l'extrémité supérieure du tube, et aplati verticalement à l'extrémité inférieure du tube; les extrémités aplaties peuvent alors s'appuyer contre le corps de l'artiste sans risque de blessure;
- les éléments de couplage élastique comprennent chacun au moins un ressort à lames; faciles à réaliser, de tels ressorts ont apportent un fort amortissement pour de faibles débattement (faibles amplitude de mouvement); en outre, ils ont une forme essentiellement plane, donc ils s'intègrent bien.
- an upper end the front plate is bent forward, to marry the shape of the back of the artist at the nape of the neck;
- the rear plate comprises, in its upper part, a first part folded horizontally towards the front plate, and extended by a second part folded vertically upwards, which bears against the front plate and is fixed to the said front plate; this arrangement makes it possible to obtain the desired spacing between the two front and rear plates;
- the frame comprises a bracket arranged between the front plate and the back plate so as to keep them spaced apart from each other; this square contributes to reinforce the rigidity of the backsplash;
- the bracket comprises a horizontal portion attached to the horizontal portion of the rear plate, and a vertical portion attached to the rear plate, at the rear of said horizontal portion of the rear plate; thus arranged, the bracket avoids the angle of folding of the rear plate is changed under the effect of the constraints exerted by the movements of the accessory;
- the backrest comprises a central opening, which reduces the weight of the harness, and also facilitates the covering by coating of the frame with cladding materials;
- the straps are formed in a circular tube, flattened horizontally at the upper end of the tube, and flattened vertically at the lower end of the tube; the flattened ends can then lean against the body of the artist without risk of injury;
- the elastic coupling elements each comprise at least one leaf spring; easy to achieve, such springs have a high damping for low deflection (low range of motion); in addition, they have an essentially flat shape, so they fit well.
Un autre aspect de l'invention concerne un harnais pour artiste de scène, comprenant une armature selon le premier aspect.Another aspect of the invention relates to a harness for a stage artist, comprising a frame according to the first aspect.

En référence à la
L'armature proprement dite comprend essentiellement un dosseret rigide 21, couplé à deux branches rigides formant des bretelles 22 et 23 par l'intermédiaire, pour chacune d'elles, d'un élément de jonction élastique. A la
Le dosseret 21 et les bretelles 22 et 23 sont dites rigides en ce sens que, dans les conditions d'utilisation normales prévues pour l'application considérée, ils n'offrent aucune capacité de déformation, élastique ou non, par flexion, torsion, ou autre. Cela ne signifie pas que ces éléments constitutifs ne pourraient pas être déformés, voire brisés, si on les soumettait à des efforts dépassant un certain seuil, mais cela signifie que ce seuil se situe bien au-delà des forces susceptibles de leur être appliquées dans les conditions d'utilisation normale du harnais.The

Dans la description qui suit, la position, l'orientation, les formes, et plus généralement l'agencement des éléments constitutifs du harnais et notamment de son armature, sont décrits par référence à la position du harnais sur les épaules de l'artiste en position statique debout, tel que représenté à la
Le dosseret 21 est plaqué dans le dos de l'utilisatrice, de préférence dans la partie supérieure du dos afin de ne pas gêner les mouvements du bassin et des jambes de l'artiste. Le maintien du dosseret en position plaquée contre le dos de la danseuse résulte de l'action des branches formant bretelles, comme la bretelle 22. En effet, cette bretelle est cintrée vers l'arrière de manière à passer sous les aisselles de la danseuse. Chaque bretelle se termine par un crochet portant la référence 42 pour la bretelle 22 visible à la
Dans la vue de la
Hormis les crochets 42 et 43, les seules parties de l'armature qui dépassent de l'habillage 30 vers l'extérieur, sont des goujons s'étendant sensiblement horizontalement vers l'arrière, à partir du dosseret 21. Dans un exemple, le dosseret comprend ainsi trois goujons 31, 32 et 33. Dans l'exemple illustré aux
Ainsi qu'il est visible sur les
L'extrémité supérieure du tube, destinée à être couplée au dosseret 21 via un élément élastique tel que l'élément 24, est écrasée pour affecter une forme plane sensiblement horizontale. A l'inverse, l'extrémité libre de la bretelle, à laquelle est fixé le crochet 42 ou 43, est écrasée de manière à présenter une forme plane sensiblement verticale. Ainsi, l'extrémité supérieure de la bretelle peut reposer à plat sur l'épaule de la danseuse, et son extrémité inférieure peut s'appuyer à plat contre son flanc.The upper end of the tube, intended to be coupled to the
En outre, ainsi qu'il est visible sur la
Les mêmes précautions sont prises en ce qui concerne la fixation de l'extrémité supérieure des bretelles 22 et 23 à l'élément élastique tel que l'élément 24 associé à la bretelle gauche 22. De préférence, cette fixation intervient également par deux vis ou deux rivets 29, visibles à la
De toutes les caractéristiques qui précèdent, il résulte que le harnais est utilisé dans des conditions de confort et d'ergonomie optimisées.Of all the above characteristics, it follows that the harness is used in conditions of comfort and ergonomics optimized.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le dosseret 21 comprend essentiellement trois parties rigides, rendues solidaires les unes des autres de manière non élastique. Par cette dernière expression, il faut comprendre que les moyens de fixation de ces trois éléments 25, 26 et 27, n'introduisent aucun point de déformation du dosseret, ni jeu, ni élasticité, dans les conditions d'utilisation normales du harnais. Dit autrement, ces trois éléments sont rigides et rigidement solidaires les uns des autres. En réalité, le fait de prévoir ainsi trois éléments au lieu, par exemple, d'une seule plaque, permet précisément d'augmenter la rigidité du dosseret dans son ensemble.In one embodiment, the
Plus particulièrement, le dosseret comprend une plaque arrière 25 et une plaque avant 26. De préférence, ces deux plaques s'appuient l'une contre l'autre dans la partie inférieure du dosseret, alors qu'elles sont espacées l'une de l'autre dans la partie supérieure. Dans cette partie supérieure, une équerre 27 est en effet disposée entre les deux plaques 25 et 26, en servant d'entretoise entre ces deux plaques et en participant à la meilleure rigidité de l'ensemble.More particularly, the backsplash comprises a
Ces trois éléments 25, 26 et 27 du dosseret vont maintenant être décrits en détail, en référence aux schémas des
On notera à titre préliminaire que les deux plaques 25 et 26 et l'équerre 27 peuvent par exemple être réalisées en tôle plaquée d'alu, par exemple, dans le matériau connu sous l'appellation AU4GA5 (2024). Il s'agit d'une tôle avec un plaquage d'aluminium de 5 micromètres, qui présente l'avantage d'être un matériau propre. L'aluminium 4G est un matériau durci par traitement, en sorte qu'il est particulièrement résistant, même à faible épaisseur. Par exemple, on utilise des plaques de 12 millimètres d'épaisseur, ce qui confère à l'armature un poids très raisonnable, et même moindre que pour les armatures en acier de l'art antérieur décrit en introduction. Cela permet en outre des pliages de la tôle, comme il va maintenant être décrit pour chacune des plaques 25 et 26, et de l'équerre 27.It will be noted as a preliminary that the two

Des trous 56 et 57 sont percés dans la zone correspondant à la base des oreilles supérieures droite et gauche de la plaque. Les centres respectifs de ces trous sont alignés sur une même ligne horizontale. Suivant la verticale, cette ligne se situe sensiblement entre le point le plus bas de la courbure du bord supérieur 51, et le point le plus haut de la lumière 54. Les trous 56 et 57 ont par exemple un diamètre égal à 15 millimètres.
Par ailleurs, un autre trou 58 est aussi percé le long de l'axe de symétrie vertical 53, sensiblement à égale distance (suivant cet axe vertical) de l'axe horizontal 55 que les trous 56 et 57,donc entre le point le plus bas de la lumière 54 et l'extrémité inférieure de la plaque 26. Son diamètre est par exemple égal à 6 millimètres.Moreover, another
Un autre trou 59 est encore percé entre le trou 58 et l'extrémité inférieure de la plaque 26. Il s'agit d'un trou oblong dont la plus grande longueur (qui s'étend verticalement) est égale à environ 10 millimètres, et la largeur (horizontalement) est égale à environ 8 millimètres, dans un exemple. Ce trou peut servir au passage d'un ruban de maintien tel que le ruban 35 visible à la

De préférence, l'extrémité inférieure de la plaque est, à l'inverse, légèrement cintrée vers l'arrière, à partir d'un axe horizontal passant sensiblement par le centre du trou 59. Ce cintrage est destiné à éviter que l'extrémité de la plaque 26 ne blesse l'artiste par frottement contre sa colonne vertébrale.Preferably, the lower end of the plate is, conversely, slightly curved rearward, from a horizontal axis passing substantially through the center of the

En particulier, la plaque 25 affecte elle aussi une forme concave tournée vers le haut au niveau de son bord supérieur 61. Elle comprend elle aussi une ouverture circulaire 64, de même rayon que l'ouverture 54 de la plaque 26, et dont le centre correspond à l'intersection d'un axe symétrique vertical 63 et d'un axe horizontal 65.In particular, the
Dans la partie inférieure, la plaque 25 comprend des trous 68 et 69 correspondant respectivement aux trous 58 et 59 de la plaque 26 de la
Enfin, des trous 73 sont répartis équitablement le long des bords gauche et droit de la plaque 25entre le niveau de l'axe horizontal 65 et le bas de la plaque 25, à raison par exemple de trois trous sur le côté gauche et trois trous sur le côté droit de la plaque. D'autres trous 74, par exemple au nombre de cinq, sont percés le long d'une ligne horizontale qui se trouve, suivant la direction verticale, légèrement au dessus de la ligne passant par les centres des trous 66 et 67. Il s'agit par exemple de trous de diamètre égal à 4 millimètres. Les trous 73 et 74, comme les trous 52 de l'autre plaque 26, sont destinés à la fixation de la plaque avant 26 à la plaque arrière 25, de préférence par rivets.Finally, holes 73 are evenly distributed along the left and right edges of the
Dans sa zone supérieure, la plaque arrière 25 comprend deux parties 71 et 72 qui sont pliées par rapport au plan général de la feuille de tôle dont est faite la plaque 25. Les parties pliées 71 et 72 sont également visibles sur la
Plus particulièrement, la partie 71 est pliée vers l'horizontale à partir d'un premier axe de pliage 60, qui est un axe horizontal situé au dessus de la ligne horizontale par laquelle passent les centres des trous 66 et 67. Après ce pliage, la partie inférieure de la plaque 25 et sa partie pliée 71 forment un angle légèrement inférieur à 90°. La partie 72 est alors à nouveau pliée vers le haut, à partir d'un second axe de pliage 71 qui est un axe globalement horizontal mais s'étendant suivant une ligne courbe dont la concavité est orientée vers le haut.More particularly, the
L'axe horizontal de pliage 60 se situe, suivant la verticale, sensiblement à égale distance du point le plus bas de la courbure du bord supérieur 61 de la plaque 26 et du point le plus haut de l'ouverture 64.The horizontal axis of folding 60 is, according to the vertical, substantially equidistant from the lowest point of the curvature of the

Des trous 28 sont réalisés le long d'une ligne courbe s'étendant entre l'axe de pliage 80 et le bord supérieur 81, et ayant sensiblement la même courbure que le bord 81. On compte ainsi, par exemple, deux trous 28 du côté gauche et, symétriquement, deux trous 28 du côté droit. Le diamètre de ces trous est par exemple égal à 4 millimètres. Ils servent à la fixation de l'équerre sur la plaque arrière 25, via des rivets.

Un ressort à lames présente un fort coefficient d'amortissement, pour des débattements, i.e., des amplitudes de déformation très faibles. En outre, sa forme essentiellement plane est compatible avec son mode de fixation tel qu'il apparaîtra ci-dessus, et avec l'habillage de l'armature.A leaf spring has a high damping coefficient, for displacements, i.e., very small deformation amplitudes. In addition, its essentially flat shape is compatible with its attachment mode as it will appear above, and with the cladding of the frame.

Premièrement, on positionne l'équerre à l'intérieur de l'angle formé par le pliage à 90° de la partie horizontale 71 de la plaque arrière 25. On perce quatre trous de diamètre égal à 4 millimètres dans cette dernière, en utilisant les trous 28 de la partie supérieure 91 de l'équerre comme gabarit de perçage en sorte qu'il n'y a aucun défaut d'alignement entre les trous 28 sur l'équerre et ceux qui leur correspondent sur la plaque 25. Et on fixe alors l'une à l'autre la partie horizontale/supérieure l'équerre 27 et la partie horizontale 71 de la plaque arrière 25, par exemple avec quatre rivets à travers les trous précités.First, the bracket is positioned within the angle formed by the bending at 90 ° of the
Deuxièmement, et de la même façon, on perce cinq trous dans la partie inférieure/verticale 90 de l'équerre, à 4 millimètres de diamètre, en utilisant les cinq trous 74 de la partie verticale/inférieure de la plaque 25 comme gabarit, et ensuite on fixe l'équerre 27 et la plaque arrière 25 l'une à l'autre, par exemple avec trois rivets à travers trois de ces trous également, à savoir les trous se trouvant au centre. Le trou le plus à gauche et celui se trouvant le plus à droite, servent à la fixation sur le dosseret de l'élément élastique gauche 24 et de l'élément de jonction élastique droit, respectivement, par lesquels le dosseret est couplé aux bretelles 22 et 23, respectivement. Cette fixation peut intervenir à l'aide de boulons dont celui de gauche est visible à la
Ainsi positionnée et fixée, l'équerre 27 assure la stabilité des angles de pliage de la plaque arrière 25.Thus positioned and fixed, the
Troisièmement, on perce également la partie inférieure/verticale 90 de l'équerre, à 6 millimètres de diamètre, en utilisant les deux trous 66 et 67 de la partie verticale/inférieure de la plaque 25 comme gabarit. A travers ces trous, on passe alors une vis avec l'extrémité distale (opposée à la tête) tournée vers l'arrière, que l'on serre avec un écrou et une rondelle dite "éventail". Les tiges filetées de ces vis, dont la longueur est par exemple égale à 30 millimètres, forment le goujon 31 et 32, respectivement, servant à la fixation de l'accessoire à l'aide par exemple d'écrous de type "papillon". Avantageusement, ce boulon (vis et écrou) sert aussi à la fixation sur le dosseret, de l'élément de couplage élastique correspondant, comme l'élément 24 pour le côté gauche, en complément de la fixation par boulon mentionnée au paragraphe précédent.Third, the lower /
Quatrièmement, on fixe une première extrémité des éléments élastiques de couplage entre le dosseret et les bretelles tels que le ressort 24 pour le côté gauche. A cet effet, à partir de l'empilement des lames plates (obtenues chacune par découpage et/ou usinage d'une plaque), on réalise deux perçages le traversant, de 4 et 6 millimètres de diamètres. Les trous ainsi obtenus sont destinés à la fixation de l'empilement sur la partie verticale de la plaque arrière 25 du dosseret, par les boulons 29 et par les vis 31 et 32, comme il a été dit dans les deux paragraphes ci-dessus.Fourthly, a first end of the elastic coupling elements is fixed between the backsplash and the straps such as the
Cinquièmement, on perce la plaque avant 26 à travers les trous 73 de la plaque arrière 25 utilisés comme gabarit, et on fixe les deux plaques directement l'une contre l'autre, dans leur partie inférieure, à travers ces trous, par exemple à l'aide de rivets. Bien entendu, les ouvertures 54 et 64 se trouvent alors positionnées de manière concentrique. On complète cette fixation à l'aide d'un boulon dont la vis passe à travers les trous 58 et 68, concentriques, prévus sur chacune des plaques 26 et 25, respectivement. La tige de la vis correspond alors au goujon 33 (
Sixièmement, on cintre vers l'avant l'empilement des plaques constituant l'élément de couplage élastique tel que l'élément 24 pour le côté gauche du harnais. Compte tenu du fait qu'il s'agit d'un empilement de lames métalliques, il ne peut pas vraiment s'agir d'un "pliage", mais uniquement d'un cintrage, en ce sens que le rayon de courbure local des lames est relativement élevé par rapport à celui qui pourrait être obtenu pour le pliage d'une lame seule. Dit autrement, le fait qu'on cintre simultanément les trois lames implique qu'on a un angle de courbure plus élevé que celui qu'on aurait en cintrant une lame seule. Néanmoins, après cintrage, les deux extrémités de l'empilement se trouvent dans des plans respectifs qui sont forment un angle sensiblement égale à 90°. Du côté déjà fixé au dosseret, l'extrémité est verticale. De l'autre côté, l'extrémité est sensiblement horizontale. Au niveau de ce dernier côté, on perce l'empilement de lames de deux trous, par lesquels on fixe la bretelle correspondante (par exemple la bretelle 22 pour le côté gauche du harnais), par exemple avec d'autres rivets 29 visibles à la
Dès lors, toute force exercée sur la bretelle 22 tendant à l'éloigner de sa position statique par rapport au dosseret 21, ou inversement, donne lieu à une force opposée qui résulte la résistance des lames métalliques de l'élément 24. C'est l'effet d'amortissement du ressort à lames. Ainsi le harnais bien qu'ayant uns structure rigide au niveau des bretelles et du dosseret, présente un couplage élastique entre les premières et ce dernier. Ce couplage permet d'atténuer, surtout au niveau du point de contact entre les bretelles et le dessus de l'épaule de l'artiste, les forces exercées par les mouvements de gîte et/ou de tangage de l'accessoire ou des accessoires supportés par le harnais.Therefore, any force exerted on the
On notera que l'extrémité de l'élément de couplage élastique 24 fixée à la bretelle 22 se trouve de préférence au dessus de celle-ci. De la sorte, c'est la partie aplatie du tube dont est faite la bretelle, qui s'appuie sur le dessus de l'épaule de l'artiste. Le contact est donc franc et stable, du fait de la rigidité de la bretelle, et est donc peu susceptible de blesser l'artiste.Note that the end of the
Pour finir, on notera que tous les rivets utilisés sont par exemple du type des rivets à tête ronde, du type de ceux utilisés dans l'aviation. Les têtes des rivets qui viennent en saillie par rapport à des surfaces destinées à entrer en contact avec le corps de l'artiste sont de préférence limées, ou matées, afin d'éviter tout risque de blessure, et d'endommagement de l'habillage 30 du harnais.Finally, it should be noted that all the rivets used are for example of the type of round head rivets, of the type used in aviation. The heads of the rivets projecting from surfaces intended to come into contact with the body of the artist are preferably filed, or matted, in order to avoid any risk of injury, and damage to the covering. 30 of the harness.
