Description

POCHETTE DE DETRESSE DISTRESS POCKET

La présente invention est destinée à faciliter les secours devant être procurés à un voyageur en cas d'accident ou de détresse lorsque le voyageur se trouve en état de choc ou a perdu conscience, par exemple.The present invention is intended to facilitate the assistance to be provided to a traveler in the event of an accident or distress when the traveler is in shock or has lost consciousness, for example.

Les services d'urgence des hôpitaux ont besoin de ren¬ seignements essentiels pour donner les soins immédiats que requiert l'état du voyageur accidenté. On peut par exemple citer un traitement médical en cours, les médi- caments devant être administrés régulièrement ou ceux qui sont proscrits absolument, les traitements à ex¬ clure, les allergies, dates de vaccinations, etc.The emergency services of hospitals need essential information to provide the immediate care required by the condition of the injured traveler. One can for example quote a medical treatment in progress, the drugs to be administered regularly or those which are absolutely prohibited, the treatments to exclude, allergies, dates of vaccinations, etc.

Or, lorsqu'un accident survient au cours d'un voyage ou d'un déplacement, il arrive que le voyageur ne soit pas en état de fournir les renseignements indispensables au secouriste ou au service d'urgence qui doit lui prodi¬ guer les premiers soins. Cette situation peut conduire au fait que l'on administre au voyageur un médicament que son organisme ne peut supporter en raison d'une allergie ou d'un traitement en cours ou que l'on omet de lui administrer un médicament qui doit lui être administré régulièrement en raison d'un traitement en cours. Une telle situation peut donc être source d'une aggravation de l'état général du voyageur en dépit des secours qui lui sont prodigués, voire même mettre sa vie en danger.However, when an accident occurs during a trip or a trip, it sometimes happens that the traveler is not in a position to provide the essential information to the rescuer or to the emergency service which must first provide him care. This situation can lead to the fact that the traveler is administered a medication that his body cannot bear due to an allergy or a treatment in progress or that he is omitted to administer a medication which must be administered to him. regularly due to ongoing treatment. Such a situation can therefore be a source of worsening of the general condition of the traveler despite the help provided, or even endanger his life.

Le but de l'invention est de mettre à la disposition du secouriste, les renseignements indispensables pour per¬ mettre d'apporter au voyageur accidenté, quel que soit son état, les secours immédiats dont il a besoin et qui peuvent lui sauver la vie.The object of the invention is to make available to the rescuer, the essential information to enable the injured traveler, whatever his condition, to provide the immediate assistance which he needs and which can save his life.

L'invention atteint ce but grâce à une pochette de dé¬ tresse destinée à être attachée à un support résistant accompagnant le voyageur de manière à être immédiate¬ ment accessible à un secouriste. Elle peut par exemple être fixée au tableau de bord d'un véhicule automobile, au cadre d'une bicyclette ou d'un cyclomoteur, à un sac de randonnée, à la ceinture d'un voyageur dans un car de tourisme, etc.The invention achieves this object thanks to a braid pocket intended to be attached to a resistant support accompanying the traveler so as to be immediately accessible to a rescuer. It can for example be attached to the dashboard of a motor vehicle, to the frame of a bicycle or a moped, to a hiking bag, to the belt of a traveler in a passenger coach, etc.

Conformément à l'invention, il est proposé une pochette de détresse comprenant une enveloppe présentant une face frontale et un dos, lequel dos est paré d'un moyen de fixation pour attacher l'enveloppe sur un support, l'enveloppe contenant au moins un passeport de secours individuel sur lequel sont mentionnées les données né¬ cessaires pour prodiguer au voyageur en détresse les secours dont il a besoin, ainsi que, éventuellement, des indications utiles pour lui apporter un secours moral réconfortant.According to the invention, there is provided a distress pocket comprising an envelope having a front face and a back, which back is adorned with a fixing means for attaching the envelope to a support, the envelope containing at least one individual rescue passport on which are mentioned the data necessary to provide the traveler in distress with the relief he needs, as well as, possibly, useful indications to provide him with comforting moral relief.

Le moyen de fixation prévu au dos de la pochette est agencé pour attacher l'enveloppe de manière détachable sur un support : il peut de manière avantageuse être constitué d'une barrette de tissu Velcro, avec une face extérieure autocollante protégée par une pellicule de protection.The fixing means provided on the back of the pouch is arranged to detachably attach the envelope to a support: it can advantageously consist of a strip of Velcro fabric, with a self-adhesive outer face protected by a protective film .

Pour faciliter son identification par un secouriste, la pochette porte de façon visible un symbole, une marque ou un logo sur sa face frontale. Les particularités de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description détaillée qui suit accompagnée des dessins dans lesquels :To facilitate identification by a rescuer, the pouch visibly bears a symbol, a mark or a logo on its front face. The features of the invention will appear more clearly during the detailed description which follows, accompanied by the drawings in which:

- la figure 1 est une vue de face d'un exemple d'exécu- tion d'une pochette de détresse selon l'invention;FIG. 1 is a front view of an example of the execution of a distress bag according to the invention;

- la figure 2 montre un exemple d'exécution pour le dos de la pochette selon la figure 1.- Figure 2 shows an example of execution for the back of the cover according to Figure 1.

La pochette comprend une enveloppe l réalisée en une matière imperméable à l'eau, étanche à la poussière et résistant aux déchirures, par exemple en tissu de nylon. La pochette représentée à titre d'exemple sur la figure 1 est constituée d'une bande de tissu de nylon repliée sur elle-même de manière à laisser un dépassant 2 formant une patte de fermeture. Les bords latéraux superposés 3 et 4 de la bande repliée sont solidarisés par tout autre moyen de manière à former ainsi le com¬ partiment intérieur 10 de la pochette. La patte de fer¬ meture 2 peut être rabattue et retenue dans cette posi- tion par un moyen quelconque tel qu'un bouton pression 5, comme illustré à titre d'exemple, ou tout autre moyen de fermeture.The pouch comprises an envelope l made of a waterproof, dustproof and tear-resistant material, for example nylon fabric. The pocket shown by way of example in FIG. 1 consists of a strip of nylon fabric folded over on itself so as to leave a protrusion 2 forming a closure tab. The superimposed lateral edges 3 and 4 of the folded strip are secured by any other means so as to thus form the interior compartment 10 of the pocket. The closing tab 2 can be folded down and retained in this position by any means such as a press button 5, as illustrated by way of example, or any other closing means.

Le dos 11 de l'enveloppe 1 (voir figure 2) porte un moyen de fixation 6 pour attacher la pochette sur un support résistant, par exemple : le tableau de bord d'un véhicule automobile, le cadre d'une bicyclette ou d'un cyclomoteur, le châssis d'un tracteur, une cein¬ ture, la sangle d'un sac de randonnée, etc. Le moyen de fixation 6 est par exemple constitué d'une barrette de tissu Velcro fixée sur le dos de la pochette. La face extérieure 7 de la barrette de tissu Velcro 6 est traitée pour être autocollante afin de permettre la fixation aisée de la pochette sur un support. La face autocollante 7 est protégée par une pellicule de pro¬ tection détachable 8. Le compartiment intérieur 10 de la pochette sert à re¬ cevoir au moins un passeport de secours 12 indiquant des données nécessaires ou utiles pour un secours d'ur¬ gence en cas d'accident ou de détresse. La pochette peut contenir un passeport pour chaque membre de la famille ou éventuellement chaque occupant d'un véhi¬ cule.The back 11 of the casing 1 (see FIG. 2) carries a fixing means 6 for attaching the pouch to a resistant support, for example: the dashboard of a motor vehicle, the frame of a bicycle or a moped, the chassis of a tractor, a belt, the strap of a hiking bag, etc. The fixing means 6 is for example made up of a strip of Velcro fabric fixed on the back of the pouch. The outer face 7 of the Velcro fabric strip 6 is treated to be self-adhesive to allow easy attachment of the pouch to a support. The self-adhesive face 7 is protected by a detachable protective film 8. The interior compartment 10 of the pocket serves to receive at least one emergency passport 12 indicating necessary or useful data for emergency rescue in the event of an accident or distress. The pocket can contain a passport for each member of the family or possibly each occupant of a vehicle.

Chaque passeport de secours indique par exemple des coordonnées personnelles du voyageur : nom, prénom, personne à prévenir,- médecin traitant, numéro de contrat d'assistance, etc. Il indique également les données médicales nécessaires au service d'urgence : traitement en cours, médicaments à administrer régu- lièrement, allergies médicales et alimentaires, médi¬ caments à proscrire absolument, la date de la dernière vaccination antitétanique, etc.Each rescue passport indicates, for example, the passenger's personal details: surname, first name, person to be notified, - attending physician, assistance contract number, etc. It also indicates the medical data necessary for the emergency service: treatment in progress, drugs to be administered regularly, medical and food allergies, drugs to be absolutely prohibited, the date of the last tetanus vaccination, etc.

Le voyageur remplit le passeport de secours, le glisse dans la pochette et attache celle-ci de façon visible sur un support résistant à proximité de lui. En cas d'accident, il suffit au secouriste de détacher la po¬ chette pour qu'elle accompagne le voyageur secouru lorsqu'elle est acheminée vers un service d'urgence qui peut alors prodiguer sans délai les secours indispensa¬ bles corrects et également prévenir les personnes pou¬ vant apporter le secours moral souhaité par le voya¬ geur.The traveler fills the emergency passport, slides it into the pocket and attaches it visibly on a resistant support near him. In the event of an accident, it is sufficient for the rescuer to detach the pocket so that it accompanies the rescued traveler when it is routed to an emergency service which can then immediately provide the correct essential assistance and also prevent people who can bring the moral help desired by the traveler.

II est bien entendu que le mode d'exécution décrit dans ce qui précède est un exemple donné à titre illustratif et l'invention n'est nullement limitée à cet exemple. Toute modification, toute variante et tout agencement équivalent doivent être considérés comme compris dans le cadre de l'invention. It is understood that the embodiment described in the foregoing is an example given by way of illustration and the invention is in no way limited to this example. Any modification, any variant and any equivalent arrangement must be considered to be within the scope of the invention.
