Definitions

  • This invention relates to releasable fastenings and is particularly although not exclusively applicable to releasable fastenings for clothing.
  • clothing for use in hazardous environments e.g. firemen's clothing, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD] suits, hazardous materials (hazmet] suits] may need to be removed in a hurry.
  • EOD explosive ordnance disposal
  • hazmet hazardous materials
  • Velcro® are used to provide a quick release function, but these fasteners have the disadvantage that they may be accidentally unfastened, and require unfastening along the whole length of a seam which may be difficult where bulky and inflexible clothing is concerned.
  • the present invention provides a releasable fastening and clothing as set out in the appended claims, the contents of which are incorporated in this description by reference.
  • Fig. 1 shows an EOD suit
  • Figs.2 and 3 show a back seam to an EOD suit jacket in accordance with the invention
  • Fig. 4 shows schematically a section along a fastening in accordance with the invention
  • Fig. 5 shows a close up to a seam from EOD suit trousers in accordance with the invention
  • Fig. 6 shows the front view of an EOD suit jacket of Figs. 2 and 3
  • the EOD suit of Fig. 1 comprises a jacket 1, trousers 2, armoured front plate 3, and helmet 4.
  • the front plate 3 can be removed relatively rapidly, being loosely mounted with buckles: however the jacket 1 and trousers 2 are conventionally more difficult to remove.
  • additional seams may be provided to the jacket 1 and/or trousers 2 that permit their rapid removal.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show a back seam to jacket 1. Panels 5 and 6 of the jacket back are secured together through a pair of releasable fastenings 7 and 8.
  • the fastening 8 comprises flaps of material 9, 10 secured respectively to the panels 5,6; and a rod 11.
  • the flaps of material 9,10 each have a series of apertures aligned to permit the rod 11 to be threaded between the apertures of each flap 9,10 to secure the flaps 9,10 against separation.
  • Fig.4 illustrates this schematically by showing a section along the fastenings on the line of the rod 11, where it can be seen that the rod 11 lies alternately on one side of both flaps and then on an opposed side of both flaps. It should be noted that the rod need not be threaded through all apertures, although it may be preferable to do so.
  • the flaps of material extend along substantially the entire length of the seam although termination portions of the seam may be joined otherwise as mentioned below.
  • the flaps of material may be continuous or may comprise several sections.
  • the flaps of material may comprise any suitably flexible material (e.g. a fabric, a web, or a sheet] but shown for exemplary purposes is a woven tape.
  • the rod 11 is of a material sufficiently stiff to resist gaping or unravelling under tension in the seam and of a suitable strength to withstand blast damage.
  • Suitable materials include, among others, plastics materials, for example a 4mm diameter Nylon 66 rod, although the choice of material is a matter for optimising in the light of the environment the fastening will be exposed to, with an EOD suit being an extreme environment
  • Fastening 7 is similar to fastening 8 but comprises a cord rather than a rod.
  • cord can be used instead of rod, a rod is preferred as being less likely to gape under tension in the seam. Additionally a cord needs to be firmly secured to prevent accidental removal whereas a rod only requires that the end portions of the rod only be accessible when needed.
  • the invention extends to the use of any elongate member capable of being threaded through the apertures and includes, for example, cords, rods, wires, plastic covered wire coils, and chains. To release the clothing the elongate member is drawn from one end so as to unthread from the apertures and thereby permit the flaps to separate.
  • Fig 6 shows the front view of the EOD suit showing the rod 11 passing around the collar of the suit and terminating at a handle 12.
  • the strap 11 is secured against flapping by webbing 13 and ring 1 .
  • the handle 12 is secured against accidental release, for example by housing in a pocket or trapped beneath a releasable fastening (not shown].
  • the handle is secured by a hook and eye fastener (e.g. Velcro®] that can torn open in the result of necessity.
  • Advisably the location of the release should be readily evident, for example by making the handle, or the means for securing the handle, in a contrasting colour to the body of the suit jacket.
  • FIG.5 shows in close up a seam from an EOD suit trousers in accordance with the invention and shows that the rapid release fastening of the invention may form only part of the seam, with part being provided by hook and eye-fasteners which may further function to secure the end of the rods to prevent accidental release.
  • the end of rod 21 protrudes from flaps of fabric 25, 26 secured respectively to the panels 27,28 of the trousers and is secured against accidental release within hook and eye fastener 29/30.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une attache amovible (8) pour la fixation d'un premier article (5) à un second article (6), et comprenant : • au moins un premier élément flexible (9) pour la fixation à un premier article ; • au moins un second élément flexible (10) pour la fixation à un second article ; • au moins un élément allongé (11) ; une série d'ouvertures dans le premier élément flexible étant susceptibles d'être alignées avec une série d'ouvertures dans le second élément flexible, lorsque le premier élément flexible et le second élément flexible sont placés dans une relation en face à face, pour permettre à l'élément allongé d'être enfilé entre les ouvertures dans les premier et second éléments flexibles pour se trouver alternativement d'un côté des deux éléments flexibles et ensuite sur un côté opposé des deux éléments flexibles, pour ainsi fixer amovibles les premier et second éléments flexibles de sorte qu'ils ne se séparent pas.
