Description

La présente invention concerne les gants en cotte de mailles utilisés notamment dans l'industrie de la viande pour assurer la protection de la main et éventuellement de l'avant-bras ou du bras des personnes qui utilisent des outils coupants ou tranchants.The present invention relates to chainmail gloves used in particular in the meat industry for the protection of the hand and possibly the forearm or the arm of people who use sharp or sharp tools.

De tels gants sont par exemple décrits dans les documents US-4 471 495 , US-6 076 190 , FR-2 753 883 ou encore FR-2 748 908 .
Ces gants sont constitués d'un treillis d'anneaux métalliques entrelacés et ils comportent généralement un système de serrage au niveau du poignet pour assurer leur tenue sur la main. Certains modèles sont équipés d'un prolongement qui forme une manchette venant recouvrir une partie du bras de l'utilisateur, ou tout le bras. Lorsque cette manchette est réalisée en cotte de mailles, des organes raidisseurs longitudinaux assurent son maintien en tension, et un système de serrage peut être aménagé au niveau de son extrémité.
Pour des raisons de sécurité, il est préférable que la zone de poignet en tissu de cotte de mailles, ou que la manchette en tissu de cotte de maille, forme un manchon complet dépourvu de fente latérale.Such gloves are for example described in the documents US-4,471,495 , US-6,076,190 , FR-2,753,883 or FR-2 748 908 .
These gloves consist of a mesh of intertwined metal rings and they generally have a tightening system at the wrist to ensure their holding on the hand. Some models are equipped with an extension that forms a cuff that covers part of the user's arm, or the entire arm. When this cuff is made of chain mail, longitudinal stiffening members ensure its maintenance in tension, and a clamping system can be arranged at its end.
For safety reasons, it is preferable that the wrist area of the chainmail fabric, or the mesh coat cuff, forms a complete sleeve without a side slit.

Il existe de très nombreux types de systèmes de serrage permettant d'assurer la tenue du gant sur la main.
Certains de ces systèmes de serrage ont une structure complexe ou ne sont pas simples à utiliser.
D'autres, de structure relativement simple, ne conservent pas leurs caractéristiques de serrage dans le temps ; c'est le cas en particulier des systèmes de serrage métalliques à structure élastique (ressort spirale ou ressort hélicoïdal) qui arrivent à se détendre dans le temps.
Certains encore de ces systèmes de serrage posent des problèmes de nettoyage, soit du fait de leur structure complexe, soit parce qu'ils utilisent des sangles de serrage et/ou des organes raidisseurs en matière plastique qui résistent mal aux lessives ou aux hautes températures.There are many types of clamping systems to ensure the holding of the glove on the hand.
Some of these clamping systems have a complex structure or are not simple to use.
Others, relatively simple structure, do not retain their tightening characteristics over time; this is particularly the case of metal clamping systems with elastic structure (spiral spring or coil spring) which can relax over time.
Still some of these clamping systems pose problems of cleaning, either because of their complex structure, or because they use clamping straps and / or plastic stiffening members that are poorly resistant to laundry or high temperatures.

On notera encore que certains gants comportent des organes de crochetage destinés à venir s'accrocher dans le tissu de cotte de mailles pour assurer le serrage (voir en particulier les documents FR-2 753 883 et FR-2 748 908 précités). Cependant, il arrive que ces organes de crochetage agrippent involontairement le tissu de cotte de mailles du gant, ou d'autres gants, en particulier dans le cadre des opérations de nettoyage des gants, et il n'est alors pas toujours très facile d'effectuer les opérations de décrochage et de désolidarisation nécessaires.It should also be noted that some gloves have hooking members intended to hook into the fabric of the chainmail to ensure the tightening (see in particular the documents FR-2,753,883 and FR-2 748 908 cited above). However, it happens that these hooking members inadvertently grip the chainmail fabric of the glove, or other gloves, especially in the context of cleaning operations gloves, and it is not always very easy to perform the necessary stall and uncoupling operations.

On connaît d'autre part du document DE-80 331 un système de serrage et de fermeture particulier susceptible d'être utilisé pour des gants. Mais le gant concerné n'est pas réalisé en tissu de cotte de mailles.On the other hand, the document is known DE-80,331 a particular clamping and closing system that can be used for gloves. But the glove concerned is not made of chainmail fabric.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages.

Dans une forme de réalisation particulièrement intéressante, les orifices de la structure d'accrochage sont allongés et disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres ; en outre, l'organe de crochetage comporte un crochet d'extrémité qui est actif sur toute la longueur ou sensiblement toute la longueur desdits orifices.In a particularly interesting embodiment, the holes of the attachment structure are elongated and arranged parallel to each other; in addition, the hooking member comprises an end hook which is active over the entire length or substantially the entire length of said orifices.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation possible, la structure d'accrochage est fixée sur le tissu de cotte de mailles, et l'extrémité arrière de l'organe de crochetage est également fixée sur le tissu de cotte de mailles, à quelque distance de ladite structure d'accrochage pour permettre un serrage sur la zone de gant correspondante.According to a first possible embodiment, the fastening structure is fixed on the chainmail fabric, and the rear end of the hooking member is also fixed on the chainmail fabric, at a distance from said attachment structure to allow clamping on the corresponding glove area.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'extrémité arrière de l'organe de crochetage est fixée sur le tissu de cotte de mailles par l'intermédiaire d'une ou de plusieurs plaquettes associées les unes aux autres.According to another embodiment, the rear end of the hooking member is attached to the chainmail fabric via one or more plates associated with each other.

Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation, le système de serrage est constitué d'un feuillard monobloc venant ceinturer la zone de gant correspondante ; l'une des extrémités de ce feuillard est conformée pour constituer l'organe de crochetage, et son autre extrémité est conformée pour constituer la structure d'accrochage.

Le gant 1 illustré sur les figures 1 et 2 est réalisé en tissu de cotte de mailles, c'est-à-dire qu'il est constitué d'un treillis d'anneaux métalliques entrelacés. Les anneaux correspondants peuvent être réalisés en fil d'inox de 0,5 ou 0,55 mm de diamètre ; leur diamètre interne peut être de l'ordre de 2 à 4 mm.
Ce gant 1 comprend une partie « main » 2 prolongée par une partie 3 en forme de manchon cylindrique complet, c'est-à-dire dépourvu de fente latérale, qui est destiné à venir recouvrir le poignet de l'utilisateur. Cette partie 3 se prolonge elle-même par une extension 4, représentée partiellement, formant une manchette de protection de l'avant-bras ou du bras ; cette manchette de protection 4 est également en forme de manchon cylindrique complet, dépourvu de fente latérale.
Les trois parties de gant 2, 3 et 4 sont réalisées monobloc en tissu de cotte de mailles.The glove 1 shown on Figures 1 and 2 is made of chain mail fabric, that is to say that it consists of a mesh of interlaced metal rings. The corresponding rings may be made of 0.5 or 0.55 mm diameter stainless steel wire; their internal diameter may be of the order of 2 to 4 mm.
This glove 1 comprises a part "hand" 2 extended by a portion 3 in the form of a complete cylindrical sleeve, that is to say without a side slot, which is intended to come to cover the wrist of the user. This part 3 is extended itself by an extension 4, shown partially, forming a protective sleeve of the forearm or the arm; this protective sleeve 4 is also in the form of a complete cylindrical sleeve, devoid of lateral slit.
The three parts of glove 2, 3 and 4 are made of monobloc fabric mail coat.

La partie cylindrique 3 de la zone de poignet est équipée d'un système de serrage 5 constitué d'un organe de crochetage 6 muni d'un crochet d'extrémité 7 qui coopère avec l'un des orifices 8 d'une structure d'accrochage rapportée 9, ici en forme de platine.The cylindrical portion 3 of the wrist area is equipped with a clamping system 5 consisting of a hooking member 6 provided with an end hook 7 which cooperates with one of the orifices 8 of a structure of FIG. reported hooking 9, here platinum-shaped.

L'organe de crochetage 6 est détaillé sur les figures 3 et 4. Il se présente sous la forme générale d'une structure plane 10 en forme de plaquette dont l'extrémité avant comporte un retour plan légèrement « rentrant » constituant le crochet 7, et dont l'extrémité arrière est équipée d'orifices 11, ici au nombre de deux, destinés à la fixation sur le tissu de cotte de mailles.
Une arête transversale 12 s'étend en saillie à partir de la face de dessus de la structure plane 10 pour faciliter les manoeuvres d'accrochage et de décrochage. Cette arête transversale 12 s'étend dans un plan légèrement incliné par rapport au plan perpendiculaire à la face de dessus de la structure plane 10 pour optimiser les manipulations.The hooking member 6 is detailed on the Figures 3 and 4 . It is in the general form of a flat plate-shaped structure 10 whose front end has a slightly "return" plane return constituting the hook 7, and whose rear end is equipped with orifices 11, here at number of two, intended for fixing on the fabric of chain mail.
A transverse edge 12 protrudes from the top face of the flat structure 10 to facilitate hooking and unhooking maneuvers. This transverse edge 12 extends in a plane slightly inclined relative to the plane perpendicular to the top face of the planar structure 10 to optimize handling.

Le crochet 7 et l'arête transversale 12 sont aménagés chacun d'un côté de la structure plane 10 de l'organe de crochetage 6, et ils sont tous les deux légèrement inclinés dans le même sens, ce sens étant opposé à la direction de traction nécessaire à la fermeture du dispositif de serrage.The hook 7 and the transverse edge 12 are each arranged on one side of the flat structure 10 of the hooking member 6, and they are both slightly inclined in the same direction, this direction being opposite to the direction of traction required to close the clamping device.

L'organe de crochetage 6 illustré sur les figures 1 à 4 est réalisé par découpage et pliage d'une feuille métallique, par exemple d'une feuille d'inox de 0,7 mm d'épaisseur ; sa largeur peut être de l'ordre de 1,5 à 2,5 cm, et le crochet 7 peut s'étendre sur une longueur l correspondant environ à la moitié ou aux 2/3 de cette largeur. Le crochet 7 est centré sur la largeur de l'organe de crochetage 6. L'arête transversale 12 s'étend sur toute la largeur de l'organe de crochetage 6 ; elle est obtenue par un pliage en Vé de la feuille métallique.
Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, les bordures latérales 13 du crochet 7 sont légèrement biseautées ou biaisées pour faciliter les manoeuvres d'accrochage et surtout de décrochage sur le ou les orifices 8 de la structure d'accrochage 9. Ces deux bordures convergentes 13 confèrent au crochet 7 une forme générale trapézoïdale. Le biseautage correspondant est de l'ordre de quelques degrés.
La profondeur du crochet 7 est adaptée pour optimiser l'accrochage sur le ou les orifices 8 de la structure d'accrochage 9 ; cette profondeur peut être de l'ordre de 4 à 5 mm.
Les dimensions générales du crochet 7 sont adaptées pour empêcher tout accrochage direct sur les anneaux du tissu de cotte de mailles. En particulier, la longueur l du crochet 7 est supérieure au diamètre interne des anneaux utilisés pour réaliser la structure de cotte de mailles du gant.The hooking member 6 illustrated on the Figures 1 to 4 is made by cutting and folding a metal sheet, for example a 0.7 mm thick stainless steel sheet; its width may be of the order of 1.5 to 2.5 cm, and the hook 7 may extend over a length l corresponding to about half or two thirds of this width. The hook 7 is centered on the width of the hooking member 6. The transverse edge 12 extends over the entire width of the hook member 6; it is obtained by a folding Vee of the metal sheet.
As can be seen on the figure 3 , the lateral edges 13 of the hook 7 are slightly bevelled or biased to facilitate the maneuvers hooking and especially stall on the or holes 8 of the attachment structure 9. These two convergent edges 13 give the hook 7 a general shape trapezoidal. The corresponding beveling is of the order of a few degrees.
The depth of the hook 7 is adapted to optimize the attachment to the or holes 8 of the attachment structure 9; this depth can be of the order of 4 to 5 mm.
The general dimensions of the hook 7 are adapted to prevent any direct attachment to the rings of the mail coat fabric. In particular, the length 1 of the hook 7 is greater than the internal diameter of the rings used to make the coat of mail mesh structure of the glove.

La structure d'accrochage 9 est détaillée sur la figure 5. Cette structure d'accrochage 9, de forme générale rectangulaire, peut également être découpée dans une feuille métallique (par exemple une feuille d'inox de 0,7 mm d'épaisseur). Elle peut avoir une largeur de l'ordre de 1,5 à 2,5 cm, et sa longueur peut être de l'ordre de quelques centimètres.
Cette structure d'accrochage 9 est légèrement cintrée pour épouser au mieux le contour du poignet de l'utilisateur.The attachment structure 9 is detailed on the figure 5 . This hooking structure 9, of generally rectangular shape, can also be cut in a metal sheet (for example a 0.7 mm thick stainless steel sheet). It may have a width of the order of 1.5 to 2.5 cm, and its length may be of the order of a few centimeters.
This attachment structure 9 is slightly curved to fit the best contour of the wrist of the user.

Les orifices 8 destinés à coopérer avec le crochet 7 de l'organe de crochetage 6 sont régulièrement répartis parallèlement les uns aux autre sur la longueur de la structure d'accrochage 9 ; ces orifices 8 ont une forme allongée dont la longueur correspond, au jeu près, à la longueur l de la partie supérieure du crochet 7 ; leur largeur est légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur dudit crochet 7.The orifices 8 intended to cooperate with the hook 7 of the hooking member 6 are regularly distributed parallel to each other along the length of the attachment structure 9; these orifices 8 have an elongated shape whose length corresponds, with play, to the length l of the upper part of the hook 7; their width is slightly greater than the thickness of said hook 7.

Le nombre et le positionnement des orifices allongés 8 sont fonction des possibilités de serrage que l'on désire obtenir.The number and positioning of the elongated holes 8 are a function of the clamping possibilities that it is desired to obtain.

Sur la périphérie de la structure d'accrochage 9, on remarque la présence d'orifices circulaires 14 destinés à la fixation de ladite structure d'accrochage sur le tissu de cotte de mailles.On the periphery of the fastening structure 9, there is the presence of circular orifices 14 for fastening said fastening structure on the fabric of chain mail.

Tel qu'on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2, la structure d'accrochage 9 est fixée sur le tissu de cotte de mailles de la zone de poignet 3 par l'intermédiaire d'anneaux métalliques 15 (par exemple des anneaux identiques ou similaires à ceux utilisés pour la confection du gant). Les anneaux 15 viennent se prendre sur certains anneaux du tissu de cotte de mailles, et ils passent dans les orifices 14 précités de la structure d'accrochage 9.As can be seen from the Figures 1 and 2 , the attachment structure 9 is fixed on the chain mail fabric of the wrist area 3 via metal rings 15 (for example rings identical or similar to those used for making the glove). The rings 15 are caught on certain rings of the chain mail fabric, and they pass through the aforementioned orifices 14 of the fastening structure 9.

La structure d'accrochage 9 est ainsi pratiquement plaquée sur le tissu de cotte de mailles, sur une partie de la périphérie du poignet. On notera que la présence des orifices 8 et 14 améliore la flexibilité de la structure d'accrochage 9 qui peut ainsi épouser au mieux le contour du poignet.The hooking structure 9 is thus substantially plated on the chain mail fabric, on a part of the periphery of the wrist. Note that the presence of orifices 8 and 14 improves the flexibility of the attachment structure 9 which can thus marry the contour of the wrist.

L'organe de crochetage 6 est également fixé sur la zone de poignet 3, à quelque distance de la structure d'accrochage 9, au moyen d'anneaux métalliques de fixation 16. Là encore, ces anneaux 16 peuvent être identiques ou similaires à ceux utilisés pour la confection du gant.
Les anneaux 16 viennent s'accrocher sur certains anneaux du tissu de cotte de mailles, et ils passent par les orifices d'extrémités 11 de l'organe de crochetage 6. Cet organe de crochetage est alors en quelque sorte « articulé » sur le tissu de cotte de mailles du gant, son extrémité avant munie du crochet 7 étant libre.The hooking member 6 is also fixed on the wrist area 3, at some distance from the attachment structure 9, by means of metal fixing rings 16. Again, these rings 16 may be identical or similar to those used for making the glove.
The rings 16 are hooked on some rings of the chainmail fabric, and they pass through the end holes 11 of the hooking member 6. This hooking member is then somehow "articulated" on the fabric coat of meshes of the glove, its front end provided with the hook 7 being free.

On notera ici que dans une variante de réalisation, l'organe de crochetage peut être fixé sur le tissu de cotte de mailles du gant par l'intermédiaire d'une plaquette métallique, ou de plusieurs plaquettes articulées les unes aux autres.It will be noted here that in an alternative embodiment, the hooking member may be fixed to the coat of mail fabric of the glove by means of a metal plate, or several plates hinged to each other.

L'utilisateur ayant inséré sa main dans le gant 1, le serrage de la zone de poignet s'effectue très simplement de la manière illustrée sur la figure 1, par une manoeuvre de traction sur l'organe de crochetage 6 en vue d'insérer son crochet 7 dans l'un des orifices 8 de la structure d'accrochage 9. Cette manoeuvre est facilitée par la présence de l'arête 12 en saillie. Le choix de l'orifice 8 utilisé est fonction des caractéristiques de serrage désirées.
Le dispositif de serrage « activé » est représenté sur la figure 2.The user having inserted his hand in the glove 1, the tightening of the wrist area is carried out very simply as illustrated on the figure 1 by a traction maneuver on the hooking member 6 to insert its hook 7 into one of the orifices 8 of the hooking structure 9. This maneuver is facilitated by the presence of the protruding ridge 12 . The choice of the orifice 8 used is a function of the desired tightening characteristics.
The "activated" clamping device is shown on the figure 2 .

Le serrage correspondant, réalisé au moyen d'un organe de crochetage qui vient se verrouiller de manière amovible sur un orifice spécialement aménagé dans une structure d'accrochage, est très facile à réaliser. Ce serrage est en outre d'excellente qualité.
La légère inclinaison du crochet 7 permet d'optimiser l'accrochage sur la structure d'accrochage 9. D'autre part, l'utilisation d'un crochet plan 7 actif sur toute la longueur ou sensiblement toute la longueur de l'orifice allongé 8 de réception permet d'améliorer la solidarisation de l'organe de crochetage sur la structure d'accrochage.The corresponding clamping, achieved by means of a hooking member which is releasably lock on a hole specially arranged in a hooking structure, is very easy to achieve. This tightening is also of excellent quality.
The slight inclination of the hook 7 makes it possible to optimize the hooking on the hooking structure 9. On the other hand, the use of an active flat hook 7 over the entire length or substantially the entire length of the elongated orifice 8 reception improves the fastening of the hook member on the attachment structure.

Une autre forme de réalisation possible de la structure d'accrochage est illustrée sur les figures 6 et 7.
Sur la figure 6, la structure d'accrochage 9' est constituée d'une pluralité de plaquettes indépendantes 17 partiellement superposées et fixées sur le tissu de cotte de mailles au moyen d'anneaux de jonction 18. Chaque plaquette 17 comporte un orifice 8 permettant l'encastrement du crochet 7 de l'organe de crochetage 6. De la même manière, chaque plaquette pourrait comporter deux orifices 8 parallèles, voire plus.
Sur la figure 7, les plaquettes 17 sont également fixées sur le tissu de cotte de mailles par l'intermédiaire d'anneaux de jonction 18, mais les plaquettes 17 sont ici simplement juxtaposées (elles ne se superposent pas).
Là encore, chaque plaquette 17 pourrait comporter plus d'un orifice 8.Another possible embodiment of the fastening structure is illustrated on the Figures 6 and 7 .
On the figure 6 , the attachment structure 9 'consists of a plurality of independent inserts 17 partially superimposed and fixed on the chain mail fabric by means of connecting rings 18. Each plate 17 has an orifice 8 allowing the embedding of the hook 7 of the hooking member 6. In the same way, each plate could comprise two orifices 8 parallel or more.
On the figure 7 , the plates 17 are also fixed on the fabric chain mail through junction rings 18, but the plates 17 are here simply juxtaposed (they do not overlap).
Again, each plate 17 could have more than one orifice 8.

Les figures 8 et 9 illustrent encore une autre variante possible de structure d'accrochage.
Cette structure d'accrochage 9" est constituée d'au moins un anneau indépendant 19 « pris » dans le tissu de cotte de mailles de la manière illustrée sur la figure 8.
Comme cela apparaît en vue de dessus sur la figure 9, plusieurs anneaux 19 peuvent être utilisés, régulièrement répartis, pour autoriser un réglage du serrage. Le ou les anneaux 19 sont avantageusement réalisés en fil métallique ; ils sont avantageusement « pris » dans le tissu de cotte de mailles avant leur fermeture par un point de soudure. Ils débordent au-dessus du tissu de cotte de mailles pour permettre l'agrippage du crochet 7 de l'organe de crochetage 6. Ils peuvent avantageusement déborder de part et d'autre du tissu de cotte de mailles pour permettre l'obtention d'un gant réversible ambidextre. L'organe de crochetage, et en particulier sa fixation sur le gant devra alors être adaptée en conséquence.The Figures 8 and 9 illustrate yet another possible variant of attachment structure.
This hooking structure 9 "consists of at least one independent ring 19" caught "in the mail coat fabric as illustrated in FIG. figure 8 .
As it appears in top view on the figure 9 several rings 19 may be used, regularly distributed, to allow a tightening adjustment. The ring or rings 19 are advantageously made of wire; they are advantageously "taken" in the fabric of chain mail before closing by a weld spot. They overflow over the fabric of chainmail to allow the gripping of the hook 7 of the hooking member 6. They can advantageously overflow on both sides of the chain mail fabric to obtain the an ambidextrous reversible glove. The hooking member, and in particular its attachment to the glove must then be adapted accordingly.

Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 8 et 9, les anneaux d'accrochage 19 peuvent avoir un contour rectangulaire. Ils peuvent aussi se présenter sous d'autres formes, par exemple ovale (figure 10) ou circulaire (figure 11).As illustrated on Figures 8 and 9 , the hooking rings 19 may have a rectangular contour. They can also be in other forms, for example oval ( figure 10 ) or circular ( figure 11 ).

Les figures 12 et 13 illustrent une variante possible de l'organe de crochetage.
Cet organe de crochetage 6' est constitué d'une structure plane 10' en forme de plaquette dont l'extrémité avant est munie du crochet 7' et dont l'extrémité arrière comporte des orifices de fixation 11'. Un élément en saillie 12' est aménagé à partir de la face de dessus de la structure plane 10' pour constituer le moyen de préhension facilitant les manoeuvres d'accrochage sur la structure d'accrochage, ainsi que les manoeuvres de décrochage. Cet élément en saillie 12' se présente sous la forme d'un bossage réalisé par emboutissage après découpe transversale. Ce bossage définit une arête transversale vers l'arrière qui facilite la manipulation au moyen d'un ou de plusieurs doigts.The Figures 12 and 13 illustrate a possible variant of the hooking member.
This hooking member 6 'consists of a flat plate-shaped structure 10' whose front end is provided with the hook 7 'and whose rear end has fixing orifices 11'. A projecting element 12 'is arranged from the top face of the planar structure 10' to form the gripping means facilitating the attachment maneuvers on the attachment structure, as well as the stall maneuvers.

Les figures 14 et 15 illustrent un autre mode de réalisation possible du dispositif de serrage 5 conforme à la présente invention.
Dans cette variante de réalisation, l'organe de crochetage 6 et la structure d'accrochage 9 ont une structure identique ou similaire à celle qui vient d'être décrite en relation avec les figures 1 à 5, mais ces deux éléments sont conformés aux extrémités d'un feuillard 20 qui forme une sorte de sangle et qui vient ceinturer la zone de poignet.The Figures 14 and 15 illustrate another possible embodiment of the clamping device 5 according to the present invention.
In this embodiment, the hooking member 6 and the hooking structure 9 have a structure identical or similar to that just described in connection with the Figures 1 to 5 but these two elements are shaped at the ends of a strip 20 which forms a kind of strap and which surrounds the wrist area.

Le feuillard 20 peut consister en une bande métallique, par exemple une bande d'acier de 1,5 cm de large et de 0,2 mm d'épaisseur, dont les extrémités sont pliées et découpées de manière convenable.The strip 20 may consist of a metal strip, for example a steel strip 1.5 cm wide and 0.2 mm thick, the ends of which are folded and cut in a suitable manner.

On obtient le dispositif de serrage monobloc illustré sur les figures 14 et 15.The one-piece clamping device illustrated in FIGS. Figures 14 and 15 .

Ce dispositif de serrage a une forme générale circulaire ; tel qu'illustré sur la figure 14, il peut venir se loger dans un manchon 21 aménagé sur le gant 1, sur une partie de la périphérie de la zone de poignet.
Le manchon d'accueil 21 est avantageusement réalisé en cotte de mailles, par exemple au moyen d'une bande rapportée et fixée sur la zone de poignet au moyen d'anneaux métalliques de couture.
Il est de préférence aménagé sur toute la périphérie du poignet, excepté sur la structure d'accrochage 9, pour permettre le serrage.This clamping device has a generally circular shape; as illustrated on the figure 14 it can be housed in a sleeve 21 arranged on the glove 1, on a part of the periphery of the wrist area.
The receiving sleeve 21 is advantageously made of chain mail, for example by means of an attached band and fixed on the wrist area by means of metal seam rings.
It is preferably arranged on the entire periphery of the wrist, except on the attachment structure 9, to allow clamping.

A titre de variante, le manchon 21 peut être remplacé par de simples passants en cotte de mailles.Alternatively, the sleeve 21 may be replaced by simple passers chain mail.

Pour assurer un positionnement correct permanent du dispositif de serrage 5, la structure d'accrochage 9 est fixée sur le tissu de cotte de mailles du gant au moyen d'anneaux métalliques 15 qui passent par les orifices circulaires 14, d'une manière similaire au mode de réalisation précédent.In order to ensure a correct and permanent positioning of the clamping device 5, the hooking structure 9 is fastened to the chainmail fabric of the glove by means of metal rings 15 which pass through the circular orifices 14, in a manner similar to the previous embodiment.

Les figures 16 à 18 illustrent un autre mode de réalisation dans lequel le dispositif de serrage 5 est constitué d'un organe de crochetage 6 et d'une structure d'accrochage 9 tels qu'illustrés sur les figures 1 à 5, reliés au niveau de l'une de leurs extrémités par un feuillard rapporté 22 qui forme une sorte de sangle.
L'extrémité arrière de l'organe de crochetage 6 est fixée à l'une des extrémités du feuillard 22 par des anneaux de jonction 23 ; et l'extrémité arrière de la structure d'accrochage 9 est fixée à l'autre extrémité du feuillard 22 par des anneaux de jonction 24.The Figures 16 to 18 illustrate another embodiment in which the clamping device 5 consists of a hooking member 6 and a hooking structure 9 as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 5 , connected at one of their ends by an attached strip 22 which forms a kind of strap.
The rear end of the hooking member 6 is attached to one end of the strip 22 by connecting rings 23; and the rear end of the hooking structure 9 is attached to the other end of the strip 22 by connecting rings 24.

L'organe de crochetage 6 et la structure d'accrochage 9 peuvent être réalisés dans une feuille d'inox de 0,7 mm d'épaisseur pour leur conférer une résistance convenable, alors que le feuillard 22 peut être réalisé à partir d'une feuille d'acier de 0,2 mm d'épaisseur pour lui conférer une bonne flexibilité.The hooking member 6 and the hooking structure 9 can be made in a stainless steel sheet of 0.7 mm thick to give them a suitable strength, while the strip 22 can be made from a 0.2 mm thick steel sheet to give it good flexibility.

On obtient un dispositif de serrage circulaire similaire à celui illustré sur les figures 14 et 15. Sur la figure 17, ce dispositif de serrage est représenté isolé et en position desserrée ; sur la figure 18 il est représenté en position activée.A circular clamping device similar to that illustrated in FIG. Figures 14 and 15 . On the figure 17 this clamping device is shown isolated and in a loose position; on the figure 18 it is represented in the activated position.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 16, le feuillard 22 peut être logé dans un manchon de cotte de mailles 21 aménagé sur la zone de poignet du gant, ce manchon 21 s'étendant sensiblement à partir des extrémités de la structure d'accrochage 9. Ici encore, cette structure d'accrochage 9 est de préférence fixée sur le tissu de cotte de mailles par l'intermédiaire d'anneaux métalliques 15 qui passent dans les orifices circulaires 14.As shown on the figure 16 , the strip 22 can be housed in a sleeve of mesh 21 arranged on the wrist area of the glove, this sleeve 21 extending substantially from the ends of the attachment structure 9. Here again, this structure of 9 is preferably fastened to the chain mail fabric by means of metal rings 15 which pass through the circular orifices 14.

Comme pour le mode de réalisation précédent, le manchon 21 peut être remplacé par des passants en cotte de mailles.As for the previous embodiment, the sleeve 21 can be replaced by chain mail loops.

La manipulation de l'organe de crochetage 6 est très facile du fait de sa solidarisation avec le feuillard 22 par l'intermédiaire des anneaux de jonction 23 qui procurent une liaison articulée. Du côté de l'organe de crochetage 6 le manchon 21 s'arrête à quelque distance de la structure d'accrochage 9 pour faciliter les manipulations de serrage et de desserrage.The manipulation of the hooking member 6 is very easy because of its attachment to the strip 22 through the connecting rings 23 which provide an articulated connection. On the side of the hooking member 6 the sleeve 21 stops at some distance from the hooking structure 9 to facilitate clamping and loosening manipulations.

A titre de variante, le feuillard 22 peut être remplacé par une sangle 25 constituée d'un assemblage de plaquettes métalliques 26 au moyen d'anneaux de jonction 27, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 19.Alternatively, the strip 22 may be replaced by a strap 25 consisting of an assembly of metal plates 26 by means of connecting rings 27, as illustrated in FIG. figure 19 .

Les figures 20 à 24 montrent un mode de réalisation dérivé de celui illustré sur les figures 16 à 19. Ici, l'extrémité de la structure d'accrochage 9 qui n'est pas reliée au feuillard 22 est prolongée par une platine complémentaire 28 reliée par des anneaux de jonction 29.
Cette platine complémentaire 28 peut être réalisée dans une feuille d'acier de 0,2 mm d'épaisseur ; sa largeur correspond sensiblement à celle du feuillard 22 et elle s'étend sur une longueur de quelques centimètres.The Figures 20 to 24 show an embodiment derived from that illustrated on the Figures 16 to 19 . Here, the end of the attachment structure 9 which is not connected to the strip 22 is extended by a complementary plate 28 connected by connecting rings 29.
This additional plate 28 may be made in a steel sheet 0.2 mm thick; its width corresponds substantially to that of the strip 22 and extends over a length of a few centimeters.

Le dispositif de serrage obtenu est illustré isolément sur la figure 21 en position desserrée, et en position active sur la figure 22.The clamping device obtained is illustrated in isolation on the figure 21 in the loosened position, and in the active position on the figure 22 .

La platine complémentaire 28 est destinée à venir se loger dans le manchon 21 aménagé sur la périphérie de la zone de poignet. Sa présence permet de bien répartir le tissu de cotte de mailles sur le pourtour du poignet lors de l'opération de serrage.
Le manchon 21 démarre au plus près de l'extrémité de la structure d'accrochage 9 pour optimiser cette répartition de la cotte de mailles ; pour disposer d'une bonne marge de manoeuvre lors de la manipulation de l'organe de crochetage, l'extrémité du feuillard 22 qui porte ledit organe de crochetage sort du manchon 21 par une fente 30 aménagée à quelques centimètres de l'extrémité dudit manchon.The complementary plate 28 is intended to be housed in the sleeve 21 arranged on the periphery of the wrist area. Its presence makes it possible to distribute the mesh fabric around the wrist circumference during the tightening operation.
The sleeve 21 starts closest to the end of the attachment structure 9 to optimize this distribution of the chain mail; to have a good margin of maneuver during the manipulation of the hooking member, the end of the strip 22 which carries said hooking member out of the sleeve 21 by a slot 30 arranged a few centimeters from the end of said sleeve .

La structure correspondante du dispositif de serrage 5 est illustrée sur les figures 23 et 24. La figure 23 montre ce dispositif de serrage en position active, l'organe de crochetage 6 étant solidarisé avec la structure d'accrochage 9 ; la figure 24 le montre en position désactivée.The corresponding structure of the clamping device 5 is illustrated on the Figures 23 and 24 . The figure 23 shows this clamping device in the active position, the hooking member 6 being secured to the attachment structure 9; the figure 24 shows it in the off position.

Pour ce mode de réalisation, le feuillard 22 peut aussi être remplacé par un assemblage de plaquettes métalliques.For this embodiment, the strip 22 may also be replaced by an assembly of metal plates.

Le dispositif de serrage conforme à la présente invention peut de la même manière être aménagé à l'extrémité de la manchette 4 ou sur une zone intermédiaire de cette manchette.The clamping device according to this The invention may likewise be arranged at the end of the cuff 4 or at an intermediate zone of this cuff.

D'autre part, sur les modes de réalisation des figures 14 à 24, l'organe de crochetage 6 peut être remplacé par d'autres formes de réalisation, en particulier par la solution illustrée sur les figures 12 et 13.On the other hand, on the modes of Figures 14 to 24 , the hooking member 6 can be replaced by other embodiments, in particular by the solution illustrated on the Figures 12 and 13 .
