Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif de sécurité pour bagage comportant une première fermeture à glissière extérieure et une deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure.The invention relates to a luggage security device comprising a first outer zipper and a second inner zipper.

L'invention est particulièrement utile pour améliorer la sécurité des bagages équipés de fermetures à glissière.The invention is particularly useful for improving the security of luggage equipped with zippers.

L'invention s'applique à la bagagerie en général, aux valises, aux porte-PC, aux contenants divers, aux accessoires de business, aux sacs, aux sacs-à-dos et analogues, équipés ou non de moyens de roulage.The invention applies to luggage in general, suitcases, PC holders, various containers, business accessories, bags, backpacks and the like, with or without means of rolling.

Les bagages équipés de fermetures à glissière offrent une protection insuffisante contre le vol même lorsque ceux-ci sont équipés d'un cadenas. En effet, lorsque les bagages équipés de fermetures à glissière ne sont pas visibles par leur propriétaire et sont manipulés par des opérateurs de transport, les fermetures à glissière peuvent être ouvertes par une pression d'un objet pointu ou d'une pointe entre les dents de la fermeture à glissière. La pression ainsi effectuée entre les dents de la fermeture à glissière permet de pousser les dents de la fermeture à glissière vers le bas, d'écarter ces dents et de les désolidariser. Après désolidarisation de quelques dents, il est possible d'ouvrir la fermeture à glissière par simple traction pour propager l'ouverture en chaîne sur l'ensemble de la fermeture à glissière, en permettant ainsi l'ouverture de la valise ou du bagage. Cette opération effectuée avec une pression modérée ne laisse pas de traces visibles sur les dents écartées. Après examen du contenu du bagage et éventuellement soustraction d'une partie, l'opérateur referme la fermeture à glissière par un aller-retour du curseur, sans laisser de traces.Luggage with zippers provides insufficient protection against theft even when equipped with a padlock. When luggage with zippers is not visible to the owner and is handled by transport operators, the zippers can be opened by pressing a sharp object or a point between the teeth. of the zipper. The pressure thus carried out between the teeth of the zipper makes it possible to push the teeth of the zipper downward, to spread these teeth and to separate them. After detaching a few teeth, it is possible to open the zipper by simply pulling to spread the chain opening on the entire zipper, thus allowing the opening of the bag or luggage. This operation performed with moderate pressure does not leave visible traces on the teeth apart. After examining the contents of the baggage and possibly subtraction of a part, the operator closes the zipper by a round trip of the cursor, without leaving any traces.

Le premier but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique connue, en proposant un nouveau dispositif de sécurité pour bagage comportant une première fermeture à glissière extérieure et une deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure.The first object of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the known state of the art, by proposing a new baggage security device comprising a first outer zipper and a second inner zipper.

Le document US 6,223,349-B1 décrit un moyen de fermeture pour combinaison de sport aquatique, en particulier faite en caoutchouc chloroprène. Ce moyen de fermeture ne peut pas constituer un dispositif de sécurité pour bagage, en raison du fait que les dents de la fermeture à glissière extérieure peuvent facilement être écartées en exerçant une pression extérieure à l'aide d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu sur la fermeture à glissière extérieure. En outre, l'agencement du moyen de fermeture comporte des couches internes d'étanchéité et un joint intermédiaire qui n'est pas apte à être utilisé sur un bagage nécessitant des ouvertures ou fermetures fréquentes.The document US 6,223,349-B1 discloses a closure means for combination of water sport, especially made of chloroprene rubber. This closure means can not constitute a baggage security device, because the teeth of the outer slide fastener can be easily removed by exerting external pressure with a tip or tool. pointed on the outside zipper. In addition, the arrangement of the closure means comprises internal sealing layers and an intermediate seal which is not suitable for use on luggage requiring frequent opening or closing.

Le document US 2,641,037 décrit une fermeture d'étanchéité comportant une première fermeture à glissière extérieure et une deuxième fermeture à glissière extérieure. Cette fermeture d'étanchéité ne peut pas constituer un dispositif de sécurité pour bagage, en raison du fait que les dents de la première fermeture à glissière extérieure s'ouvrent en exerçant une pression à l'aide d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu.The document US 2,641,037 discloses a seal closure having a first outer slide fastener and a second outer slide fastener. This sealing closure can not constitute a luggage safety device, because the teeth of the first outer zipper open by exerting pressure with the aid of a tip or a tool sharp.

Le document US 2008/0264815-A1 décrit un conteneur d'arme ayant une surface extérieure rigide. Le conteneur d'arme comporte une fermeture à glissière extérieure et des lèvres d'étanchéité inférieures. Ce conteneur d'arme ne peut pas être utilisé comme bagage possédant un dispositif de sécurité, en raison du fait que les dents de l'unique fermeture à glissière ne résistent pas à l'écartement exercé à l'aide d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu.The document US 2008/0264815-A1 discloses a weapon container having a rigid outer surface. The weapon container has an outer zipper and lower sealing lips. This weapon container can not be used as baggage with a safety device, because the teeth of the single zipper do not resist the gap exerted by a point or a sharp tool.

Le document DE 19935380-A1 décrit une fermeture à glissière pour vêtement résistant aux intempéries. Cette fermeture à glissière ne peut pas servir de dispositif de sécurité pour bagage, en raison du fait que ses dents peuvent être écartées à l'aide d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu.The document DE 19935380-A1 discloses a zipper for a weather resistant garment. This zipper can not be used as a baggage security device, because its teeth can be removed with a sharp point or tool.

Le document US 2,166,885 décrit un réceptacle étanche à l'air. Ce réceptacle étanche à l'air comporte une fermeture à glissière associée à la combinaison de deux bandes élastiques intérieures d'étanchéité. Ce dispositif ne peut pas être utilisé comme dispositif de sécurité pour bagage, en raison du fait que les dents de la fermeture à glissière peuvent être écartées au moyen d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu.The document US 2,166,885 describes an airtight receptacle. This airtight receptacle comprises a zipper associated with the combination of two internal elastic sealing strips. This device can not be used as a baggage security device, because the teeth of the zipper can be removed by means of a point or a sharp tool.

Le document US 3,102,570 concerne des moyens d'étanchéité pour fermeture à glissière. La combinaison des moyens d'étanchéité et des fermetures à glissière ne permet pas de constituer un dispositif de sécurité pour bagage, en raison du fait que les dents de la fermeture à glissière extérieure peuvent être écartées à l'aide d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu, et que les moyens d'étanchéité peuvent ensuite être dissociés avant d'ouvrir la deuxième fermeture à glissière par écartement des dents à l'aide d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu.The document US 3,102,570 relates to sealing means for slide fastener. The combination of the sealing means and the zippers makes it impossible to constitute a luggage safety device, because the teeth of the outer zipper can be removed by means of a fastener. tip or a sharp tool, and that the sealing means can then be dissociated before opening the second zipper by spacing the teeth with a tip or a sharp tool.

Le document US 2,454,214 décrit une fermeture comportant deux fermetures à glissière et des moyens d'étanchéité intermédiaires. Cette fermeture ne peut pas servir de dispositif de sécurité pour bagage, en raison du fait que les dents de la fermeture à glissière extérieure peuvent être écartées au moyen d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu.The document US 2,454,214 describes a closure comprising two zippers and intermediate sealing means. This closure can not be used as a baggage safety device, because the teeth of the outer zipper can be removed by means of a point or a sharp tool.

Le document US 1,734,434 décrit une fermeture pour des ouvertures devant être rendues étanches à l'air, au gaz et à l'eau. Cette fermeture ne peut pas servir de dispositif de sécurité pour bagage, en raison du fait que les dents de la fermeture à glissière extérieure peuvent être écartées au moyen d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu.The document US 1,734,434 discloses a closure for openings to be sealed to air, gas and water. This closure can not be used as a baggage safety device, because the teeth of the outer zipper can be removed by means of a point or a sharp tool.

Le document WO 97/077 02 (SEO Chung Sil) décrit une double fermeture étanche, dans laquelle la première fermeture extérieure ne comporte aucune dent, mais deux bandes allongées prévues pour un assemblage étanche.The document WO 97/077 02 (SEO Chung Sil) discloses a double seal, in which the first outer closure has no teeth, but two elongated strips provided for sealing assembly.

Un deuxième but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de sécurité pour bagage comportant une première fermeture à glissière extérieure et une deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure, de fabrication économique et d'utilisation facile et ergonomique.A second object of the invention is to provide a baggage security device comprising a first outer zipper and a second inner zipper, economical manufacturing and easy to use and ergonomic.

Les fermetures à glissière pour bagage doivent en effet être faciles à ouvrir et à fermer, et ne peuvent pas pour cette raison comporter des dents épaisses en plastique injecté qui s'ouvrent et se ferment difficilement et sont sujettes à un taux de casse élevé.The luggage zippers must indeed be easy to open and close, and therefore can not have thick teeth injected plastic that open and close with difficulty and are subject to a high breakage rate.

Les fermetures à glissière habituellement utilisées pour les bagages sont généralement des fermetures à dents de petites dimensions, de préférence en polyamide (Nylon, marque déposée), qui s'ouvrent et se ferment facilement en ligne droite, dans les coins et les courbes, avec un très faible taux de casse.The zippers usually used for baggage are generally small tooth closures, preferably made of polyamide (nylon, registered trade mark), which open and close easily in a straight line, in corners and curves, with a very low case rate.

Un troisième but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de sécurité amélioré pour bagage équipé d'une première fermeture à glissière extérieure et d'une deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure, dans lequel les fermetures à glissière présentent des tailles de dents et des caractéristiques voisines de celles habituellement utilisées pour les bagages équipés d'une seule fermeture à glissière.A third object of the invention is to provide an improved luggage security device equipped with a first outer slide fastener and a second inner slide fastener, wherein the slide fasteners have tooth sizes and features. similar to those usually used for luggage with a single zipper.

En référence aux figures 1 à 8, les éléments identiques ou fonctionnellement équivalents sont repérés par des chiffres de référence identiques.With reference to Figures 1 to 8 identical or functionally equivalent elements are identified by identical reference numerals.

Sur la figure 1, un premier mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention comporte une première fermeture 1 extérieure à glissière et une deuxième fermeture 2 intérieure à glissière.On the figure 1 a first embodiment of the device according to the invention comprises a first zipper outer closure 1 and a second zipper inner closure 2.

Les fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 sont assemblées aux bords 3a, 3b d'une enveloppe de bagage non représentée en totalité le long de lignes d'assemblage 4a, 4b.The zippers 1 and 2 are assembled at the edges 3a, 3b of a baggage envelope, not shown entirely along assembly lines 4a, 4b.

La longueur de la courbe définie par la ligne moyenne de la fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 comprise entre les lignes proximales d'assemblage, ici 4a, 4b, est appelée "largeur libre" est repérée par la référence l1.The length of the curve defined by the average line of the outer zipper 1 between the proximal assembly lines, here 4a, 4b, is called "free width" is indicated by the reference 1 .

La longueur de la courbe définie par la ligne moyenne-de la deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2 et comprise entre les lignes proximales d'assemblage, ici 4a, 4b, est appelée "largeur libre" et repérée par la référence l2.The length of the curve defined by the average line of the second inner zipper 2 and between the proximal assembly lines, here 4a, 4b, is called "free width" and indicated by the reference 1 2 .

Chaque fermeture à glissière 1 ou 2 comporte un alignement de paires de dents coopérantes la ou 2a, et deux lisières 1b ou 2b de montage des dents 1a ou 2a correspondantes.Each zipper 1 or 2 comprises an alignment of pairs of cooperating teeth 1a or 2a, and two edges 1b or 2b mounting the teeth 1a or 2a corresponding.

Lorsqu'on exerce à l'aide d'une pointe P ou d'un outil pointu un effort de pression sur les dents 1a de la fermeture à glissière extérieure 1, les lisières 1b fléchissent et les dents 1a se trouvent en appui sur les dents 2a de la deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2.When using a tip P or a pointed tool to exert a pressure force on the teeth 1a of the outer zipper 1, the selvedges 1b and the teeth 1a rest on the teeth 2a of the second inner zipper 2.

L'appui rigide fourni par les dents 2a de la deuxième fermeture à glissière 2 intérieure empêche le déboitement des dents de la fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 sous la pression de la pointe ou de l'outil pointu P et empêche la pénétration de la pointe P entre les dents 1a de la première fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure.The rigid support provided by the teeth 2a of the second inner zipper 2 prevents the teeth from being released from the outer zipper 1 under the pressure of the tip or the pointed tool P and prevents the penetration of the tip P between the teeth 1a of the first external zipper 1.

Cette sécurité contre l'effraction résulte également du fait que la largeur libre l1 de la première fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 est similaire ou supérieure à la largeur libre l2 de la deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2.This burglary safety also results from the fact that the free width 11 of the first outer slide fastener 1 is similar to or greater than the free width 12 of the second inner slide fastener 2.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, les fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 sont superposées sensiblement l'une sur l'autre.In the embodiment of the figure 1 , the zippers 1 and 2 are superimposed substantially on one another.

Sur la figure 2, un deuxième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention comporte des éléments identiques aux éléments décrits en référence à la figure 1.On the figure 2 a second embodiment of the device according to the invention comprises elements identical to the elements described with reference to FIG. figure 1 .

Dans ce mode de réalisation, les deux fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 sont superposées avec un décalage d.In this embodiment, the two zippers 1 and 2 are superimposed with an offset d.

Le décalage d est choisi par l'homme du métier de manière que les dents 1a et 2a des fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 se touchent lorsqu'on exerce une pression extérieure sur la fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure à l'aide d'une pointe P ou d'un outil pointu.The offset d is chosen by those skilled in the art so that the teeth 1a and 2a of the zippers 1 and 2 touch when external pressure is exerted on the outer zipper 1 with a tip P or a pointed tool.

Le contact des dents 1a et 2a des fermetures à glissières 1 et 2 assure un appui rigide qui empêche le déboîtement des dents de la première fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 sous la pression de la pointe ou de l'outil pointu P.The contact of the teeth 1a and 2a of the zippers 1 and 2 provides a rigid support which prevents dislocation of the teeth of the first outer zipper 1 under the pressure of the tip or the pointed tool P.

La largeur libre li de la première fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 est similaire ou supérieure à la largeur libre l2 de la deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2.The free width i i of the first outer slide fastener 1 is similar to or greater than the free width 1 2 of the second inner slide fastener 2.

L'invention s'étend également aux variantes non représentées dans lesquelles la largeur libre de la première fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure est voisine, ou même légèrement inférieure à la largeur libre de la deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2, l'essentiel étant que les dents de la fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 viennent toucher les dents de la deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2 lorsqu'on exerce une pression à l'aide d'une pointe ou d'un outil pointu sur la fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure.The invention also extends to variants not shown in which the free width of the first outer zipper 1 is close to, or even slightly less than, the free width of the second inner zipper 2, the essential being that the teeth of the outer zipper 1 come into contact with the teeth of the second inner zipper 2 when pressure is exerted using a point or a sharp tool on the outer zipper 1.

Sur la figure 3, un troisième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention comporte deux fermetures à glissière 1 et 2.On the figure 3 a third embodiment of the device according to the invention comprises two zippers 1 and 2.

Les bords ou lisières 1b et 2b sont préalablement assemblés le long des lignes 4 et 5, pour positionner les première et deuxième fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 l'une par rapport à l'autre.The edges or edges 1b and 2b are previously assembled along lines 4 and 5, to position the first and second zippers 1 and 2 relative to each other.

Les lignes d'assemblage 4 et 5 des deux fermetures à glissières peuvent être positionnées à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur des lignes de fixation à l'enveloppe du bagage.The assembly lines 4 and 5 of the two zippers can be positioned outside or inside the lines of attachment to the baggage envelope.

Les fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 peuvent être commandées individuellement, chacune par son propre curseur non représenté.The zippers 1 and 2 can be individually controlled, each by its own slider not shown.

Dans cet exemple, la largeur libre de la première fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure est la longueur de sa ligne moyenne comprise entre les lignes proximales d'assemblage 4 et 5 ; la largeur libre de la deuxième fermeture à glissière 2 extérieure est la longueur de sa ligne moyenne comprise entre les lignes proximales d'assemblage 4 et 5.In this example, the free width of the first outer zipper 1 is the length of its mean line between the proximal assembly lines 4 and 5; the free width of the second external zipper 2 is the length of its mean line between the proximal assembly lines 4 and 5.

Après avoir effectué le positionnement préalable des fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 par fixation le long des lignes d'assemblage 4 et 5, de préférence par couture, on fixe ensuite l'assemblage des fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 aux parois 6 et 7 d'un bagage le long de lignes de fixation 8 et 9.After preliminary positioning of the zippers 1 and 2 by fixing along the assembly lines 4 and 5, preferably by stitching, the assembly of the zippers 1 and 2 to the walls 6 and 7 is then fastened. luggage along fastening lines 8 and 9.

Si les lignes d'assemblage 4 et 5 des deux fermetures à glissières étaient positionnées à l'extérieur des lignes de fixation à l'enveloppe du bagage, la largeur libre de la première fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure serait la longueur de sa ligne moyenne comprise entre les lignes proximales de fixation 8 et 9 ; la largeur libre de la deuxième fermeture à glissière 2 extérieure serait la longueur de sa ligne moyenne comprise entre les lignes proximales de fixation 8 et 9 .If the assembly lines 4 and 5 of the two zippers were positioned outside the lines of attachment to the luggage envelope, the free width of the first external zipper 1 would be the length of its mean line between the proximal fastening lines 8 and 9; the free width of the second external zipper 2 would be the length of its mean line between the proximal fastening lines 8 and 9.

Lorsque l'on exerce une pression à l'aide de la pointe ou de l'outil pointu P sur la première fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure, les dents 1a viennent au contact des dents 2a de la deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2 et prennent appui sur celles-ci pour résister à la pénétration de la pointe ou de l'outil pointu P et empêcher leur déboîtement.When pressure is exerted using the tip or the pointed tool P on the first external zipper 1, the teeth 1a come into contact with the teeth 2a of the second inner zipper 2 and bear on these to resist the penetration of the tip or the pointed tool P and prevent their dislocation.

Sur la figure 4, un quatrième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention comporte une première fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure et une deuxième fermeture à glissière 2 intérieure.On the figure 4 a fourth embodiment of the device according to the invention comprises a first external zipper 1 and a second inner zipper 2.

Chaque fermeture à glissière 1 ou 2 comporte des dents 1a ou 2a coopérant entre elles et des bords ou lisières 1b ou 2b.Each zipper 1 or 2 has teeth 1a or 2a cooperating with each other and edges or edges 1b or 2b.

Les bords ou lisières 1a de la première fermeture à glissière 1 sont de préférence assemblés aux bords ou lisières 2a de la deuxième fermeture à glissière 2 intérieure, le long de lignes de positionnement 4 et 5The edges or edges 1a of the first zipper 1 are preferably assembled to the edges or selvedges 2a of the second inner zipper 2, along positioning lines 4 and 5

Les lignes d'assemblage 4 et 5 des deux fermetures à glissière peuvent être positionnées à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe du bagage, c'est-à-dire entre les dents 1a et 2a d'une part et l'extrémité de 1b et 2b d'autre part.The assembly lines 4 and 5 of the two zippers can be positioned outside or inside the baggage envelope, that is to say between the teeth 1a and 2a on the one hand and the end of 1b and 2b on the other hand.

L'assemblage ainsi réalisé est monté sur les bords 3a, 3b d'une enveloppe de bagage rigide par l'intermédiaire d'une lèvre de protection 10a, 10b, de préférence en PVC (polychlorure de vinyle).The assembly thus produced is mounted on the edges 3a, 3b of a rigid luggage envelope by means of a protective lip 10a, 10b, preferably made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

Sur la figure 5, un cinquième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention comporte une première fermeture à glissière 1 extérieure munie de ses dents 1a et de ses lisières ou bords 1b, une deuxième fermeture à glissière 2 intérieure munie de ses dents 2a et de ses lisières ou bords 2b.On the figure 5 a fifth embodiment of the device according to the invention comprises a first external zipper 1 provided with its teeth 1a and its edges or edges 1b, a second inner zipper 2 provided with its teeth 2a and edges or edges 2b.

Les bords ou lisières 1b et 2b sont de préférence positionnés et fixés l'un à l'autre le long de lignes de positionnement 4 et 5.The edges or edges 1b and 2b are preferably positioned and fixed to each other along positioning lines 4 and 5.

Les lignes d'assemblage 4 et 5 des deux fermetures à glissières peuvent être positionnées à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur des lignes de fixation à l'enveloppe du bagage..The assembly lines 4 and 5 of the two zippers can be positioned outside or inside the lines of attachment to the baggage envelope.

L'assemblage ainsi réalisé est monté sur une paroi souple 3a, 3b d'une valise ou bagage souple et également sur une doublure intérieure 11a, 11b de la valise ou bagage souple.The assembly thus produced is mounted on a flexible wall 3a, 3b of a suitcase or soft luggage and also on an inner lining 11a, 11b of the bag or soft luggage.

En raison du positionnement résultant de l'assemblage le long des lignes 4 et 5, l'effort exercé par un outil pointu P ou une pointe sur les dents 1a de la fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 amène les dents 1a en contact avec les dents 2a d'appui et empêche la pénétration et la séparation des dents 1a sous l'effet de la pointe ou de l'outil pointu P.Due to the positioning resulting from the assembly along the lines 4 and 5, the force exerted by a pointed tool P or a point on the teeth 1a of the outer zipper 1 brings the teeth 1a into contact with the teeth 2a. support and prevents the penetration and separation of teeth 1a under the effect of the point or the pointed tool P.

L'invention s'applique à toutes sortes de sacs, bagages, contenants divers équipés ou non de moyens de roulage, rigides ou souples.The invention applies to all kinds of bags, luggage, various containers with or without means of rolling, rigid or flexible.

Sur la figure 6, un sixième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement avantageux dans son application aux bagages souples ou semi-rigides.On the figure 6 , a sixth embodiment of the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous in its application to flexible or semi-rigid luggage.

Le dispositif comporte une première fermeture à glissière extérieure 1 avec des dents 1a et des bords ou lisières 1b, une deuxième fermeture à glissière intérieure 2 avec des dents 2a et des bords ou lisières 2b.The device comprises a first outer zipper 1 with teeth 1a and edges or selvedges 1b, a second inner zipper 2 with teeth 2a and edges or selvedges 2b.

Les fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 sont de préférence positionnées par assemblage le long de deux lignes de positionnement 4 et 5 avant d'être assemblées au textile souple 3a, 3b d'une enveloppe de bagage souple.The slide fasteners 1 and 2 are preferably positioned by assembly along two positioning lines 4 and 5 before being joined to the flexible textile 3a, 3b of a flexible luggage envelope.

De préférence, les fermetures à glissière extérieure et intérieure 1 et 2 sont disposées sensiblement l'une au-dessus de l'autre.Preferably, the outer and inner zipper closures 1 and 2 are disposed substantially one above the other.

L'engagement et le dégagement des dents 1a, 2a des deux fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 sont commandés par le déplacement d'un moyen unique 13 de curseur.The engagement and clearance of the teeth 1a, 2a of the two zippers 1 and 2 are controlled by the movement of a single cursor means 13.

L'invention couvre cependant également le cas de deux fermetures à glissière présentant un décalage d latéral faible inférieur à deux largeurs de dent de fermeture à glissière.The invention, however, also covers the case of two slide fasteners having a small lateral offset less than two zipper tooth widths.

L'espacement vertical mesuré entre les dents des deux fermetures à glissière extérieure et intérieure est de préférence inférieur à l'épaisseur d'une dent et demi de fermeture à glissière.The vertical spacing measured between the teeth of the two outer and inner zippers is preferably less than the thickness of one and a half zipper teeth.

Grâce au moyen unique de curseur 13, on ferme simultanément la fermeture extérieure et la fermeture intérieure. Après fermeture complète du bagage, une pointe ou un objet pointu P inséré entre deux dents 1a ne permet pas l'enfoncement des dents 1a et leur dégagement susceptible d'entraîner une ouverture par effraction de la valise ou du bagage souple.Thanks to the single cursor means 13, the outer closure and the inner closure are closed simultaneously. After complete closure of the baggage, a tip or a pointed object P inserted between two teeth 1a does not allow the depression of the teeth 1a and their release may cause break-in of the bag or soft baggage.

Le blocage et la retenue des dents 1a de la fermeture à glissière extérieure par l'appui procuré par les dents 2a de la fermeture à glissière intérieure empêchent ainsi un opérateur d'ouvrir par effraction la valise ou bagage souple.Blocking and retaining the teeth 1a of the outer zipper by the support provided by the teeth 2a of the inner zipper thus prevent an operator from breaking into the suitcase or soft luggage.

L'invention permet ainsi de placer directement sous la fermeture 1 à glissière extérieure et sur toute sa longueur un appui intérieur constitué par la fermeture 2 à glissière intérieure, en empêcha nt l'enfoncement et la désolidarisation d'une dent 1a de la fermeture à glissière extérieure.The invention thus makes it possible to place directly under the outer slide fastener 1 and over its entire length an inner support formed by the inner slide fastener 2, preventing the insertion and disengagement of a tooth 1a from the closure. outer slide.

Cette fermeture 2 à glissière intérieure fournit ainsi une structure d'appui constituant un renfort et un maintien des dents 1a de la fermeture à glissière extérieure.This inner slide fastener 2 thus provides a support structure constituting a reinforcement and a maintenance of the teeth 1a of the outer slide fastener.

Le curseur central unique 13 comporte un premier espace coopérant avec les dents 1a de la fermeture à glissière extérieure et un deuxième espace coopérant avec les dents 2a de la fermeture à glissière intérieure.The single central slider 13 comprises a first space cooperating with the teeth 1a of the outer zipper and a second space cooperating with the teeth 2a of the inner zipper.

Le curseur unique 13 comporte de préférence une séparation entre les deux espaces précités, de préférence une barrette intermédiaire 13a, dont l'épaisseur est inférieure à l'épaisseur d'une dent 1a ou 2a.The single slider 13 preferably comprises a separation between the two aforementioned spaces, preferably an intermediate bar 13a, whose thickness is less than the thickness of a tooth 1a or 2a.

Grâce au curseur central unique 13, l'actionnement de la fermeture 1 à glissière extérieure et l'actionnement de la fermeture 2 à glissière intérieure sont simultanés.Thanks to the single central slider 13, the actuation of the outer slide fastener 1 and the actuation of the inner slide fastener 2 are simultaneous.

Cette simultanéité d'actionnement et de coopération des dents respectives 1a et 2a renforce encore la fiabilité du positionnement respectif des fermetures à glissière extérieure et intérieure 1 et 2.This simultaneity of actuation and cooperation of the respective teeth 1a and 2a further enhances the reliability of the respective positioning of the outer and inner zippers 1 and 2.

L'utilisation d'un curseur central 13 à double actionnement permet de diminuer l'espace compris en position fermée entre les dents 1a et 2a, ce qui améliore encore l'effet de résistance à l'enfoncement d'une pointe P, obtenu grâce à l'appui procuré par les dents 2a de la fermeture à glissière intérieure.The use of a central slider 13 with double operation makes it possible to reduce the space included in the closed position between the teeth 1a and 2a, which further improves the effect of resistance to the driving of a tip P, obtained thanks to the support provided by the teeth 2a of the inner zipper .

Sur la figure 7, le curseur central unique reproduit la forme de deux curseurs de l'art antérieur superposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre avec un seul pont supérieur 13b muni d'un oeilleton 13c destiné à permettre l'insertion d'un organe de verrouillage tel qu'un cadenas:On the figure 7 , the single central cursor reproduces the shape of two sliders of the prior art superimposed one above the other with a single upper bridge 13b provided with an eyelet 13c intended to allow the insertion of an organ of lock such as a padlock:

Le pont 13b est conformé pour coopérer avec une tirette unique non représentée. En actionnant cette tirette unique, l'utilisateur ouvre ou ferme les deux fermetures à glissière superposées, en effectuant des manipulations rapides et aisées identiques aux manipulations effectuées sur une valise non sécurisée de l'art antérieur.The bridge 13b is shaped to cooperate with a single pull tab not shown. By actuating this single zipper, the user opens or closes the two superimposed zippers, performing quick and easy manipulations identical to manipulations performed on a non-secure bag of the prior art.

L'invention peut également s'appliquer à un dispositif comportant deux fermetures à glissière de tailles différentes. Dans cette variante, non représentée, et dans le cas d'un curseur central unique, le curseur présentera une forme différente sur la moitié supérieure et sur la moitié inférieure, les formes étant adaptées aux tailles différentes des fermetures à glissière.The invention can also be applied to a device comprising two zippers of different sizes. In this variant, not shown, and in the case of a single central slider, the slider will have a different shape on the upper half and the lower half, the shapes being adapted to the different sizes of the zippers.

Sur la figure 8, un autre moyen de curseur central unique 14 reproduit la forme de deux curseurs de l'art antérieur superposés avec un décalage transversal d correspondant à un dispositif du genre décrit en référence à la figure 2, dans lequel les deux fermetures à glissière 1 et 2 sont superposées avec un décalage transversal d.On the figure 8 , another single central cursor means 14 reproduces the shape of two sliders of the prior art superimposed with a transverse shift d corresponding to a device of the kind described with reference to the figure 2 in which the two zippers 1 and 2 are superimposed with a transverse shift d.

L'invention s'applique à toutes variantes de dispositif obtenues en utilisant deux curseurs de l'art antérieur superposés avec un décalage, quel que soit le sens de ce décalage. Si les curseurs partiels sont superposés avec un décalage longitudinal d, le curseur central unique correspond à un dispositif dans lequel les deux fermetures à glissière de même taille sont superposées avec éventuellement un décalage longitudinal. Si les curseurs partiels sont superposés avec un décalage en biais, le curseur central unique ainsi constitué correspond à un dispositif dans lequel les deux fermetures à glissière sont superposées l'une sur l'autre avec un décalage correspondant à la composante transversale de ce décalage en biais.The invention applies to all device variants obtained by using two cursors of the prior art superimposed with an offset, regardless of the direction of this shift. If the partial sliders are superimposed with a longitudinal offset d, the single central slider corresponds to a device in which the two zippers of the same size are superimposed with possibly a longitudinal offset. If the partial sliders are superimposed with a bias offset, the single central slider thus formed corresponds to a device in which the two slide fasteners are superimposed on one another with an offset corresponding to the transverse component of this offset. bias.

Le curseur central unique 14 de la figure 8 comporte un oeillet 16 de verrouillage destiné au passage d'un organe du genre cadenas. Le curseur central unique 14 de la figure 8 peut également comporter deux interfaces 15a, 15b de séparation, dans le cas d'un décalage d voisin de la largeur d'une dent de fermeture à glissière.The single central cursor 14 of the figure 8 has a lock eyelet 16 intended for the passage of a member of the padlock type. The single central cursor 14 of the figure 8 may also include two separation interfaces 15a, 15b, in the case of an offset of the width of a zipper closing tooth.

L'invention décrite en référence à plusieurs modes de réalisation n'y est nullement limitée, et couvre au contraire toute modification de forme et toute variante de réalisation dans le cadre des revendications annexées.The invention described with reference to several embodiments is not limited thereto, and on the contrary covers any modification of form and any variant embodiment within the scope of the appended claims.

L'invention s'applique également à un dispositif obtenu en utilisant deux demi-curseurs de formes différentes. Dans cette variante non représentée, le curseur présente une forme de demi-curseur différente sur la moitié gauche et sur la moitié droite, pour s'adapter à différentes fermetures à glissière, ou encore présente des formes différentes pour chacun des deux demi-curseursThe invention also applies to a device obtained by using two half-sliders of different shapes. In this variant not shown, the cursor has a different half-cursor shape on the left half and on the right half, to adapt to different zippers, or has different shapes for each of the two half-sliders

L'invention s'applique également à un dispositif obtenu en utilisant deux demi-curseurs comportant des barrières de séparation de dents décalées. Dans cette variante non représentée, le curseur présente une forme de barrière de séparation différente sur la moitié supérieure et sur la moitié inférieure, agencée pour diminuer la force de traction.The invention also applies to a device obtained by using two half-sliders having staggered tooth separation barriers. In this variant not shown, the slider has a different form of separation barrier on the upper half and the lower half, arranged to reduce the pulling force.

Grâce à l'invention, la fluidité et la facilité d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un dispositif à fermetures à glissière sont similaires à la fluidité et la facilité d'ouverture et de fermeture d'une valise non sécurisée de l'art antérieur, et ce dans les lignes droites ainsi que dans les courbes et les coinsThanks to the invention, the fluidity and ease of opening and closing of a zipper device are similar to the fluidity and the ease of opening and closing of a non-secure bag of the prior art in straight lines, curves and corners

Un procédé préféré d'assemblage d'un dispositif selon l'invention comporte les étapes suivantes :

  • assembler les deux fermetures à glissière en superposition, par exemple par couture ou par soudage ou collage ;
  • assembler, seulement ensuite, l'assemblage en superposition des deux fermetures à glissière à la valise, par exemple par couture ou par soudage ou collage.
A preferred method of assembling a device according to the invention comprises the following steps:
  • assembling the two zippers in superposition, for example by sewing or by welding or gluing;
  • assembling, only then, the assembly of the two zippers superimposed on the bag, for example by sewing or by welding or gluing.

Grâce à un procédé préféré d'assemblage selon l'invention, les deux fermetures à glissière ont sensiblement la même longueur, ce qui impose un parcours régulier au curseur central unique malgré des courbures différentes sur des rayons différents de la valise.Thanks to a preferred method of assembly according to the invention, the two zippers have substantially the same length, which imposes a regular path to the single central slider despite different curvatures on different radii of the bag.

Malgré la différence de rayon, le demi-curseur du haut et le demi-curseur du bas parcourent en effet la même distance. Cela évite les décalages dans la course du curseur central unique.Despite the difference of radius, the half-cursor of the top and the half-cursor of the bottom indeed travel the same distance. This avoids offsets in the stroke of the single central slider.

Grâce au procédé préféré d'assemblage selon l'invention, les dents des fermetures à glissière extérieure et intérieures sont sensiblement alignées dans l'axe vertical du produit final, et les deux fermetures à glissière sont rapprochées au mieux l'une de l'autre.Thanks to the preferred method of assembly according to the invention, the teeth of the outer and inner zippers are substantially aligned in the vertical axis of the final product, and the two zippers are closer together at best one of the other .

Pour faciliter le passage des coins et pour éviter un risque d'usure prématurée du ruban due au frottement supérieur dans les coins, le dispositif à curseur central unique est agencé pour éviter la «plongée» et le freinage du curseur et pour compenser les différences de longueur des deux fermetures à glissière quand elles sont positionnées sur un rayon différent. A cet effet, on prévoit une augmentation de la largeur de bande ou lisière par rapport à l'art antérieur, pour augmenter le passage du curseur.To facilitate the passage of the corners and to avoid a risk of premature wear of the ribbon due to the higher friction in the corners, the single central slider device is arranged to avoid "diving" and braking of the slider and to compensate for differences in length of the two zippers when positioned on a different radius. For this purpose, an increase in the bandwidth or selvage with respect to the prior art is provided to increase the passage of the cursor.

On prévoit également une augmentation de la taille de la tirette par rapport à l'art antérieur, pour faciliter le tirage et l'avancement du curseur.It is also expected to increase the size of the zipper compared to the prior art, to facilitate the draft and the advancement of the slider.

On prévoit enfin une diminution de la hauteur du pont du curseur et un positionnement de l'axe de la tirette sur le pont permettant un grand débattement sur l'arrière du curseur lors de l'ouverture et sur l'avant du curseur lors de la fermeture et permettant de rapprocher le centre de traction du centre de gravité du curseur, pour éviter la « plongée» et le freinage du curseur, de sorte que toute pression supplémentaire exercée sur la pointe ou l'outil pointu ne fait que renforcer le plaquage de la fermeture à glissière extérieure contre la fermeture à glissière intérieure, en augmentant ainsi l'effet de blocage et de résistance à l'effraction.Finally, a reduction in the height of the bridge of the slider and a positioning of the axis of the zipper on the bridge allowing a large movement on the rear of the cursor during the opening and on the front of the cursor during the closure and to bring the center of traction closer to the center of gravity of the slider, to avoid "diving" and braking of the slider, so that any additional pressure exerted on the tip or the pointed tool only reinforces the plating of the outer zipper against the inner zipper, thereby increasing the blockage and burglar resistance effect.

L'homme du métier peut adapter l'invention selon des variantes non représentées, de manière à obtenir l'effet d'appui et de blocage des dents en procurant une résistance à l'effraction.Those skilled in the art can adapt the invention according to variants not shown, so as to obtain the support and locking effect of the teeth by providing resistance to burglary.

L'alignement des fermetures à glissière peut varier dans le cadre de la présente invention, l'essentiel étant d'obtenir l'effet de résistance à l'effraction décrit dans chacun des modes de réalisation représentés.The alignment of the slide fasteners may vary within the scope of the present invention, the essential being to obtain the burglar resistance effect described in each of the embodiments shown.

Les fermetures à glissière intérieure et extérieure peuvent être identiques ou différentes, tant pour leurs géométries que pour leurs matériaux de réalisation. Les fermetures à glissière intérieure et extérieure peuvent être placées symétriquement ou non l'une par rapport à l'autre. Les dents des deux fermetures à glissières peuvent être présentées vers l'extérieur ou l'intérieur du bagage.The inner and outer slide fasteners may be identical or different, both for their geometries and for their production materials. The inner and outer zippers can be placed symmetrically or non-symmetrically to one another. The teeth of the two zippers may be presented to the outside or inside of the luggage.

L'invention couvre enfin les modes de réalisation utilisant des dispositifs à plus de deux fermetures à glissière superposées ou à plus de deux curseurs superposés, par exemple trois fermetures à glissière superposées ou trois curseurs superposés, avec ou sans décalage.The invention finally covers embodiments using devices with more than two superimposed zippers or more than two superimposed sliders, for example three superimposed zippers or three superimposed sliders, with or without offset.

Les modes de réalisation préférés utilisent des fermetures à glissière intérieure et extérieure préalablement cousues avant d'être fixées à l'enveloppe du bagage correspondant.Preferred embodiments use pre-sewn inner and outer zippers before being attached to the corresponding luggage envelope.

Tout autre moyen supplémentaire permettant le placage de la fermeture à glissière extérieure contre la fermeture à glissière intérieure et la résistance à l'effraction peut être utilisé sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention ; notamment une fixation contre la fermeture à glissière intérieure de type VELCRO (marque déposée).Any other additional means for plating the outer zipper against the inner zipper and burglar resistance can be used without departing from the scope of the present invention; in particular a fixation against the inner zipper type VELCRO (trademark).

L'invention s'applique également à un dispositif obtenu en superposant deux fermetures à glissière de tailles différentes l'une sur l'autre. Dans cette variante non représentée, le curseur présente une forme différente sur la moitié supérieure et sur la moitié inférieure, pour s'adapter aux deux tailles différentes de fermeture à glissière. Cette variante non représentée de dispositif à fermetures à glissière différenciées est économique, et doit être adaptée à un contour courbe et à une ouverture facile et rapide en raison de vitesses d'ouverture et de fermeture différentes sur les deux rubans de fermeture à glissière, pour éviter des plis dans une des fermetures à glissière, ou un décalage de trajet, ou un blocage du curseur et des différences de dimensions ou de précisions des deux tailles de fermeture à glissière pouvant obérer la qualité et la fluidité du glissement à la fermeture et à l'ouverture.The invention also applies to a device obtained by superimposing two slide fasteners of different sizes one on the other. In this variant not shown, the slider has a different shape on the upper half and the lower half, to accommodate the two different sizes of zipper. This variant, not shown, of a device with differentiated slide fasteners is economical, and must be adapted to a curved contour and to an easy and rapid opening because of the different opening and closing speeds on the two zipper tapes, for avoid creases in one of the zippers, or path offset, or slider lock, and differences in size or accuracy of the two zipper sizes that can affect the quality and fluidity of slippage on closure and the opening.
