Description
L'invention concerne un système de fermeture pour un article vestimentaire et notamment un tel système de fermeture comportant un mécanisme de fermeture à glissière.The invention relates to a closure system for an article of clothing and in particular to such a closure system comprising a zipper mechanism.
Dans le domaine vestimentaire, les fermetures à glissière sont largement utilisées car elles permettent d'ouvrir et fermer de manière efficace et rapide deux bords même de grandes longueurs. Toutefois, ces fermetures ont des défauts. Ainsi, elles ne sont pas esthétiquement attrayantes en laissant apparaître des dentures disgracieuses. Les dentures sont donc fréquemment cachées par des rabats textiles ce qui rend plus difficile d'ouvrir et fermer la fermeture à glissière car le curseur peut notamment s'arc-bouter le long des rabats. En outre, suivant leur positionnement sur le vêtement, typiquement dans le dos de l'utilisateur, elles peuvent être très petites pour être moins visibles ce qui les rend encore plus difficiles à manipuler. Des exemples de fermetures à glissières sont divulgués dans les documents
L'invention a notamment pour but de proposer un système de fermeture comportant un mécanisme de fermeture à glissière qui offre un meilleur aspect esthétique tout en facilitant la manipulation de son curseur même si ce dernier est de faibles dimensions et/ou que le mécanisme de fermeture à glissière est situé au voisinage des omoplates de l'utilisateur.The object of the invention is in particular to propose a closure system comprising a zipper mechanism which offers a better aesthetic appearance while facilitating the manipulation of its slider even if the latter is of small dimensions and/or the closure mechanism zipper is located near the user's shoulder blades.
À cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un système de fermeture pour un article vestimentaire comportant un mécanisme de fermeture à glissière comprenant deux dentures décalées, de formes complémentaires et destinées à s'emboîter, et un curseur comportant deux chemins de came destiné à emboîter ou déboîter les dentures suivant son sens de déplacement, caractérisé en ce que le système de fermeture comporte en outre un dispositif de préhension monté entre le curseur et un autre élément du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière de manière à masquer au moins partiellement le mécanisme de fermeture à glissière dans une position uniquement soumise à la gravité, dite de repos, et à faciliter la manipulation du curseur lorsqu'il est dans une position soumise à la contrainte d'un utilisateur, dite de manipulation.To this end, the invention relates to a closure system for an article of clothing comprising a zipper mechanism comprising two offset toothings, of complementary shapes and intended to fit together, and a slider comprising two cam tracks intended to fit or unfit the teeth according to its direction of movement, characterized in that the closure system further comprises a gripping device mounted between the slider and another element of the zipper mechanism so as to at least partially conceal the mechanism of zipper in a position solely subject to gravity, called rest, and to facilitate manipulation of the slider when it is in a position subject to the constraint of a user, called manipulation.
Selon une alternative, l'autre élément du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière peut être une boucle montée à une extrémité des dentures opposée à celle où est le curseur quand il ferme totalement le mécanisme de fermeture à glissière ou un autre curseur monté sur les mêmes dentures que le curseur.According to an alternative, the other element of the zipper mechanism can be a loop mounted at an end of the teeth opposite that where the slider is. when it fully closes the zipper mechanism or another slider mounted on the same teeth as the slider.
Avantageusement selon l'invention, le dispositif de préhension peut rester solidaire du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière si l'utilisateur le souhaite, c'est-à-dire notamment qu'il n'a pas besoin d'être stocké par l'utilisateur (poche, meuble, etc.). Cela permet avantageusement que le dispositif de préhension « tombe » sur le mécanisme de fermeture à glissière de manière à le masquer au moins partiellement, voire totalement dans le cas où les dentures sont orientées dans la direction où s'exerce la gravité. On comprend que le dispositif de préhension est donc choisi pour être esthétiquement plus attrayant que les dentures du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière de manière à participer favorablement à l'harmonie et, plus généralement, au style de l'article sur lequel il est monté.Advantageously according to the invention, the gripping device can remain integral with the zipper mechanism if the user so wishes, that is to say in particular that it does not need to be stored by the user. (pocket, piece of furniture, etc.). This advantageously allows the gripping device to “fall” onto the zipper mechanism so as to mask it at least partially, or even completely in the case where the teeth are oriented in the direction in which gravity is exerted. It is understood that the gripping device is therefore chosen to be aesthetically more attractive than the teeth of the zipper mechanism so as to contribute favorably to the harmony and, more generally, to the style of the article on which it is mounted.
En outre, le dispositif de préhension permet également de faciliter la manipulation d'au moins un curseur du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière même si ce dernier est de faibles dimensions et/ou que le mécanisme de fermeture à glissière est situé au voisinage des omoplates de l'utilisateur. En effet, le montage en deux positions du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière permet à l'utilisateur de toujours pouvoir attraper le dispositif de préhension et d'agir, par le bras de levier du dispositif de préhension, sur le curseur afin de facilement manipuler à distance le mécanisme de fermeture à glissière qui ne pourrait pas en temps normal être atteint par les mains de l'utilisateur à cause de l'amplitude mécanique limitée des membres supérieurs de l'utilisateur.In addition, the gripping device also makes it possible to facilitate the handling of at least one slider of the zipper mechanism even if the latter is of small dimensions and/or the zipper mechanism is located in the vicinity of the shoulder blades of the the user. Indeed, the mounting in two positions of the zipper mechanism allows the user to always be able to grasp the gripping device and to act, via the lever arm of the gripping device, on the slider in order to easily manipulate distance the zipper mechanism which could not normally be reached by the user's hands due to the limited mechanical range of the user's upper limbs.
L'invention peut également comporter l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques optionnelles suivantes, prises seules ou en combinaison.The invention may also include one or more of the following optional features, taken alone or in combination.
Le dispositif de préhension peut présenter une longueur au moins cinq pourcents supérieure à celle des dentures afin d'encore faciliter sa préhension en position de manipulation même quand le système de fermeture est dans le dos de l'utilisateur. On comprend que cette longueur supplémentaire peut notamment permettre à l'utilisateur d'intentionnellement se pencher pour que le dispositif de préhension glisse jusqu'à sa main.The gripping device may have a length at least five percent greater than that of the teeth in order to further facilitate its gripping in the handling position even when the closure system is behind the user's back. It is understood that this additional length may in particular allow the user to intentionally bend over so that the gripping device slides up to his hand.
Le dispositif de préhension comporte préférentiellement un élément de préhension déformable aussi bien en position de repos afin de suivre la direction de la gravité, qu'en position de manipulation afin de suivre la direction de la contrainte de l'utilisateur et de transmettre la contrainte au curseur. L'élément de préhension déformable peut ainsi être formé par un tortis ou une chaîne, c'est-à-dire un enchevêtrement de fils ou de maillons, apportant une résistance à la traction tout en étant facilement déformable afin de suivre les mouvements du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière notamment en position de repos. L'élément de préhension peut ainsi être formé, par exemple, à base de fibres textiles synthétiques et/ou naturelles, et/ou à base de métal.The gripping device preferably comprises a deformable gripping element both in the rest position in order to follow the direction of gravity, and in the handling position in order to follow the direction of the user's constraint and to transmit the constraint to the cursor. The deformable gripping element can thus be formed by a tortis or a chain, that is to say a tangle of wires or links, providing tensile strength while being easily deformable in order to follow the movements of the mechanism. zipper especially in the rest position. The gripping element can thus be formed, for example, based on synthetic and/or natural textile fibres, and/or based on metal.
Le dispositif de préhension peut comporter un premier élément d'attache destiné à être relié au curseur et un deuxième élément d'attache destiné à être relié à l'autre élément, c'est-à-dire la boucle ou l'autre curseur, du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière. Ces éléments d'attache permettent par exemple à l'élément de préhension d'être relié à deux positions du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière de manière articulée ou non, de manière permanente ou non.The gripping device may comprise a first attachment element intended to be connected to the slider and a second attachment element intended to be connected to the other element, that is to say the loop or the other slider, of the zipper mechanism. These attachment elements allow for example the gripping element to be connected to two positions of the zipper mechanism in an articulated manner or not, in a permanent manner or not.
Ainsi, chaque élément d'attache peut comporter un doigt élastique fermant une boucle pour, par exemple, former un mousqueton apte à sélectivement rendre solidaire chaque élément d'attache au mécanisme de fermeture à glissière, c'est-à-dire qu'au moins un des éléments d'attache peut être temporairement désolidarisé du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière pour offrir un plus grand mouvement de traction du curseur voire que les deux éléments d'attache soient désolidarisés pour remplacer l'élément de préhension ou plus globalement le dispositif de préhension pour modifier le style de l'article vestimentaire.Thus, each attachment element may comprise an elastic finger closing a loop in order, for example, to form a carabiner capable of selectively securing each attachment element to the zipper mechanism, that is to say that at the at least one of the fastening elements can be temporarily disengaged from the zipper mechanism to provide a greater pulling movement of the slider or even the two fastening elements can be disengaged to replace the gripping element or more generally the device for grip to change the style of the clothing item.
Le système de fermeture peut en outre comporter au moins un dispositif de fermeture secondaire afin de limiter l'écartement entre les dentures en cas de déboîtement accidentelle de ces dernières. Typiquement, chaque dispositif de fermeture secondaire peut comporter un ensemble boucle - crochet ou un ensemble bouton - boutonnière.The closure system may further comprise at least one secondary closure device in order to limit the spacing between the teeth in the event of accidental disengagement of the latter. Typically, each secondary closure device may comprise a loop-hook assembly or a button-buttonhole assembly.
L'invention se rapporte également à un article vestimentaire dont des bords sont attachés par un système de fermeture tel que présenté plus haut.The invention also relates to an article of clothing whose edges are attached by a closure system as presented above.

De manière habituelle, au moins un curseur 11, 11a, 11b comportant deux chemins de came (non représenté car connu de l'état de la technique) destinés, suivant son sens de déplacement, à respectivement emboîter ou déboîter les dents des dentures 9, 10 entre elles. En outre, à chaque extrémité des dentures 9, 10, des éléments 17, 18 de butée des dentures 9, 10 bornent préférentiellement le déplacement de chaque curseur 11, 11a, 11b. Enfin, de manière optionnelle, chaque curseur 11, 11a, 11b peut en outre comporter un élément 12 de déplacement. De manière connue, l'élément 12 de déplacement peut être une platine montée pivotante sur le curseur 11, 11a, 11b et être destiné à déplacer plus facilement le curseur 11, 11a, 11b le long des dentures 9, 10.The
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention illustré aux
Avantageusement selon l'invention, le dispositif 5 de préhension peut rester solidaire du mécanisme 3 de fermeture à glissière si l'utilisateur 21 le souhaite, c'est-à-dire notamment n'a pas besoin d'être stocké par l'utilisateur 21 (poche, meuble, etc.). Cela permet avantageusement que le dispositif 5 de préhension « tombe » sur le mécanisme 3 de fermeture à glissière de manière à le masquer au moins partiellement, voire totalement dans le cas où les dentures 9, 10 sont orientées dans la direction où s'exerce la gravité, c'est-à-dire verticalement aux
En outre, le dispositif 5 de préhension permet également de faciliter la manipulation du curseur 11 du mécanisme 3 de fermeture à glissière même si ce dernier est de faibles dimensions et/ou que le mécanisme 3 de fermeture à glissière est situé au voisinage des omoplates de l'utilisateur 21 comme visible à la
Comme visible aux
Dans l'exemple particulier de la
Le dispositif 5 de préhension comporte préférentiellement un élément 15 de préhension déformable aussi bien en position de repos afin de suivre la direction de la gravité, qu'en position de manipulation afin de suivre la direction de la contrainte de l'utilisateur 21 et de transmettre la contrainte au curseur 11. Dans l'exemple des
Le dispositif 5 de préhension comporte un premier élément 14 d'attache destiné à être relié au curseur 11 par attache à l'élément 12 de déplacement et un deuxième élément 16 d'attache destiné à être relié à la boucle 13. Ces éléments 14, 16 d'attache permettent par exemple à l'élément 15 de préhension d'être relié à deux positions du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière de manière articulée et de manière non permanente. En effet, dans l'exemple illustré aux

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation et variantes présentés et d'autres modes de réalisation et variantes apparaîtront clairement à l'homme du métier. Ainsi, les modes de réalisation et variantes sont combinables entre eux sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. À titre nullement limitatif, chaque dispositif 7 de fermeture secondaire ne saurait se limiter à un seul ensemble boucle - crochet mais en comporter davantage et/ou comporter en addition ou en substitution au moins un ensemble bouton - boutonnière ou un autre type de fermeture sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The invention is not limited to the embodiments and variants presented and other embodiments and variants will appear clearly to those skilled in the art. Thus, the embodiments and variants can be combined with each other without departing from the scope of the invention. By way of limitation, each
En outre, un dispositif 7 de fermeture secondaire afin de limiter l'écartement entre les dentures 9, 10 à un autre endroit qu'en partie supérieure comme les deux modes de réalisation précédemment décrits. À titre d'exemple, un dispositif 7 de fermeture secondaire pourrait être présent aussi bien en partie supérieure qu'en partie inférieure pour éviter le déboîtement accidentelle des dentures 9, 10.In addition, a
Bien entendu, les positions d'attache au mécanisme 3 de fermeture à glissière pourrait être différentes de ceux présentés dans la présente description sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. À titre d'exemple nullement limitatif, l'autre élément du mécanisme de fermeture à glissière pourrait être un des éléments 17, 18 de butée des dentures 9, 10.Of course, the attachment positions to the
Enfin, chaque élément 14, 16 d'attache pourrait être directement relié au curseur 11, 11a, 11b de manière pivotante, c'est-à-dire qu'il pourrait par exemple ne pas avoir d'attache à l'élément 12 de déplacement et/ou ne pas être détachable du curseur 11, 11a, 11b ou de la boucle 13 sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Finally, each
