    ABDOMINAL BELT FOR OVERWEIGHT INDIVIDUALS WITH POCKET
    TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of belts for overweight individuals. The present invention relates more particularly to a belt for an overweight individual having an abdominal apron (also called abdominal pendulum), such a belt having a made-to-measure making incorporating an expandable pocket suitable for receiving the apron of said individual.
    The present invention will find many advantageous applications in the field of health, and in particular in the treatment of obesity by providing comfortable equipment improving the living conditions of individuals suffering from overweight, in particular by promoting their mobility.
    STATE OF THE ART The number of people suffering from overweight is growing steadily: Figures from the World Health Organization show that obesity has almost tripled worldwide since
    1975.
    This is mainly the result of changes in lifestyles and consumption; this phenomenon can be seen in both industrialized and emerging countries.
    In France, obesity now affects 17% of adults and, among children, 16% of boys and 18% of girls.
    From a health standpoint, obesity causes many complications in these obese individuals, such as: - A risk of type 2 diabetes; and / or - A risk of high blood pressure; and / or - A risk of atherosclerosis (inflammation of the arteries); and / or - A risk of dyslipidemia; and / or - A risk of liver disease (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis); and / or - A risk of chronic kidney disease; and / or - A risk of cancer, in particular of the breast, uterus or liver. In addition to these risks, there is also the appearance of respiratory diseases and / or joint diseases directly related to the overload on the bones and joints.
    The sedentary lifestyle and lack of mobility that are already the cause of obesity further increase the risks associated with all these metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal complications. Individuals suffering from obesity therefore find themselves in a risky health situation. For proper care, it is very important that these individuals be assisted to regain some autonomy in their movements in order to resume "normal" activity. It is indeed desirable that they be able to dress themselves (for example shoes), to move around, etc.
    Today there are devices of the abdominal belt type. On the other hand, the Applicants observe that the abdominal belts offered heretofore to individuals suffering from obesity are not satisfactory because, despite the wearing of such a belt, the abdominal apron of the individual is not maintained; the individual is not fully free to move around.
    Summary of the present invention The present invention aims to improve the present situation described above. The present invention more particularly aims to remedy the various drawbacks mentioned above by providing an abdominal belt capable of maintaining and stabilizing the abdominal apron of an overweight individual. To this end, the object of the present invention relates to an abdominal belt for an overweight individual having an abdominal apron. Advantageously, the belt according to the present invention is intended to surround the trunk of the individual along at least the abdominal portion. Advantageously, the belt comprises in particular a front part having an internal face intended to at least partially cover the abdomen of the individual when the latter is wearing the belt. Advantageously, the internal face of the front portion comprises an expandable pocket.
    Preferably, this expandable pocket is configured to receive the individual's abdominal apron. In overweight people and especially in people suffering from obesity, the abdominal apron can be very inconvenient: it is bulky, heavy and bulky. It limits the movement and autonomy of the individual by reducing their freedom of movement.
    Thanks to the present invention, the overweight individual can position his apron in this integrated pocket on the inner face of the front portion of the belt. Once in position, the apron is supported in the pocket and the individual is relieved of the overweight and discomfort associated with this apron.
    Making such a pocket for the apron significantly improves the lives of overweight individuals. Such a design making it possible to block the belt under the belly of its wearer so that it does not rise during changes of position (in particular when changing from standing to sitting or vice versa). The belt thus retains all its efficiency during the various activities of an individual's life: daily and / or sports, and allows him to keep it all day, whatever his occupations.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the receiving pocket has on its upper portion a passage opening for the passage of said apron, said opening opening onto a reception area intended to receive said apron.
    Such a pocket therefore has a passage opening allowing the positioning of the apron in the volume defined by the inside of the pocket.
    Preferably, this opening and this receiving zone are obtained by a strip, preferably textile, the lower portion of which is sewn along the lower edge of the internal face and the lateral sides of which are sewn along the respective lateral edges of the frontal part.
    Advantageously, at least said pocket is made at least partially in an elastic material. This elasticity promotes the positioning and reception of the apron.
    In a particular embodiment, the pocket is configured to exert a compression of the apron in the radial direction of the trunk in order to center the latter.
    Thanks to this pocket design, a compressive force is exerted longitudinally on the abdominal apron so as to center it; this pocket design reduces the bulk associated with the apron by centering it and thus facilitates the movements of the wearer.
    In another particular embodiment which can be combined with the previous embodiment, the pocket is configured to exert a contention of the apron in the longitudinal direction of the trunk in order to stabilize the latter.
    Thanks to this other pocket design, which can be combined with the previous one, a restraining force is exerted radially on the abdominal apron so as to stabilize the latter; this pocket design limits the movement of the apron during a movement of the wearer and thus facilitates the movements of the latter.
    The combination of a radial compressive effect and a longitudinal contentive effect makes it possible to: - center the apron and the excess skin of the abdominal portion of the belt wearer; and - to stabilize this volume in the central part of the abdomen to partly free the upper and lower limbs and facilitate the movements of the wearer.
    Preferably, the pocket is made in a textile piece.
    In a particular embodiment, this textile piece has an elasticity comprising the following properties: a longitudinal elongation for a contentive effect of between 35 and 45%, preferably substantially equal to 41.5%; and / or - a radial elongation for a compressive effect of between 285 and 295%, preferably substantially equal to 289%.
    In one embodiment, a design of the textile is thus provided so that: - the warp yarns have a longitudinal elongation for a contentive effect of between 35 and 45%, preferably substantially equal to 41.5% between 100 and 120%; and - the weft threads have a radial elongation for a compressive effect of between 285 and 295%, preferably substantially equal to 289%.
    In this mode, it is understood that the warp yarns are substantially blocked longitudinally to ensure stabilization of the apron while the weft yarns compress the apron in the radial direction towards the central part of the abdomen to center the apron.
    Obviously, we understand here that this is just one possible example among many. In another alternative embodiment, a design of an inverted textile part can be provided in which it is the weft threads which provide the contentive effect and the warp threads provide the compressive effect.
    Advantageously, the textile piece has a basis weight of between 225 and 230 grams per square meter, preferably substantially equal to 227.6 grams per square meter. Advantageously, the textile piece has a thickness of between 0.60 and 0.80 millimeter, preferably substantially equal to 0.70 millimeter.
    The selection of these performances (weight per unit area and thickness) ensures good support for the deck and good resistance to contention and compression forces.
    Advantageously, the belt according to the present invention comprises a dorsal part assembled with the front part.
    It is understood that such a dorsal part is intended to at least partially cover part of the wearer's back along at least the abdominal portion (here the lumbar area in part). In an advantageous embodiment, the belt according to the present invention comprises a removable elastic retaining band intended to surround the front and back parts. Preferably, this retaining band is assembled on the outer face of the front part by a system of loops / hooks, more commonly known under the name "Velcro®". It is thus understood that this support band makes it possible to reinforce the maintenance and the tightening of the belt in order to improve the performance of the belt.
    Advantageously, the dorsal part includes lumbar reinforcement bands to improve the comfort of the individual.
    These bands improve the posture of the wearer and relieve the stresses of overweight exerted on the back of the wearer.
    Advantageously, the belt according to the present invention comprises shoulder straps, the ends of which are respectively fixed to the upper edge of the front and back parts.
    Such suspenders improve the wearing of the belt.
    Preferably, such straps are adjustable.
    Advantageously, the front and back parts are assembled together at their respective ends by removable assembly means.
    Preferably, the removable assembly means comprise: - a row of clips extending along at least one of the ends of the front or back part; and - at least one row of eyelets extending along at least one end of the back or front portion.
    Preferably, the clips are suitable for being housed one by one in the eyelets so as to join the front and back parts together.
    Preferably, the removable assembly means implement a belt diameter adjustment system defined by the front and back parts.
    It is thus possible to adapt to the morphology of the individual.
    In an advantageous embodiment, the adjustment system is implemented by a plurality of rows of eyelets extending along at least one of the ends of the back or front part.
    By connecting the clips one by one with the eyelets of one of the rows, the individual can adjust the diameter defined by the front and back parts to adapt the belt to the morphology of their abdomen.
    Advantageously, the pocket comprises rigid or semi-rigid reinforcing elements extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the trunk.
    Advantageously, the belt according to the present invention comprises: - a boning system formed on the front part at the level of the apron to promote the maintenance of the apron, and / or - a second boning system formed on the dorsal part at the level of the lumbar region for promote the posture of said individual.
    Thus, through the various technical, functional and structural characteristics above, the Applicants propose an abdominal belt making it possible to give overweight individuals better freedom of movement by keeping their abdominal apron in position in an expandable pocket.
    Brief description of the appended figures Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the description below with reference to the appended Figures 1 to 6 illustrating an exemplary embodiment which is not in any way limiting and in which: [Fig. 1] Figure 1 shows a schematic front view of an abdominal belt for an overweight individual according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; [Fig. 2] Figure 2 shows a schematic view of the inner face of the front part of an abdominal belt according to Figure 1; [Fig. 3] Figure 3 shows a schematic view of the inner face of the dorsal part of an abdominal belt according to Figure 1; [Fig. 4] Figure 4 shows a schematic view of a complementary retaining band for a belt according to Figure 1; [Fig 5] Figure 5 shows a schematic view of the outer face of the dorsal part of an abdominal belt according to Figure 1; and
    [Fig. 6] FIG. 6 represents a schematic view of an overweight individual wearing an abdominal belt according to FIG. 1. Detailed description according to an advantageous embodiment The present invention will now be described in what follows with reference in conjunction with the figures. 1 to 6 appended to the description.
    As a reminder, the present invention provides for the design of an abdominal belt 100 for an overweight individual U making it possible to maintain and stabilize the abdominal apron of such an individual.
    As illustrated in Figure 6, such a belt 100 is intended to surround the trunk of the individual along at least the abdominal portion; that is, the area containing the abdomen.
    In this example, the belt 100 conventionally has a front part 10 and a dorsal part 20. Here, the front part 10 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 has an outer face 10B and an inner face 10A intended to at least partially cover the body. the abdomen of the individual U when the latter wears said belt 100. The dorsal part 20 illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5, for its part, has an outer face 20B and an inner face 20A; the internal face 20A of the dorsal part 20 is intended to be in direct or indirect contact with at least part of the lumbar zone of the individual U.
    In this example, the front 10 and back 20 are structurally independent of each other, and each is in the form of a textile strip.
    In this example, therefore, provision is made for the implementation of removable assembly means 60 at each of the ends 13 and 23 of these front 10 and back bands 20. According to the example described here, the removable assembly means 60 comprise : - a row of clips 61 extending along the ends 23 of the dorsal part 20; and - at least one row of eyelets (not shown here) extending along the ends 13 of the front part 10. It is understood here that the clips 61 are adapted to be housed one by one in the eyelets so as to integrally assembling the front 10 and dorsal 20 parts. Preferably, several rows of eyelets are provided, each row defining a level for adjusting the diameter of the belt.
    This plurality of rows of eyelets serves as a belt diameter adjustment system, such an adjustment system makes it possible to have an evolving belt which follows the morphology of the individual U during, in particular, a diet.
    Thus, while dressing, the individual U chooses the row corresponding to his morphology and inserts each of the clips 61 into the corresponding eyelets to come and assemble the front 10 and dorsal 20 portions together. In this example, a neck is provided. zipped 15 in the upper part of the front portion 10 to facilitate dressing.
    The concept underlying the present invention is the making inside of the belt 100 of a receiving pocket 11 to receive the apron of the overweight individual U.
    For this purpose, there is provided in the example described here a receiving pocket 11 on the internal face 10A of the front portion 10. Such an expandable pocket 11 is characteristic of the present invention.
    The implementation of this pocket 11 on the internal face 10A of the front portion 10 allows the individual to position his apron inside the pocket 11. Thus, there is provided a passage opening 11A dimensioned to allow the passage of the apron.
    This passage opening 11A leads to a reception area 11B.
    It is understood that such a reception area 11B defines a volume allowing reception of the apron.
    This pocket 11 therefore comprises a textile strip sewn and attached to the internal face 10B of the front part 10. The walls of the reception zone 11B defined by the textile strip mentioned above and the lower part of the internal face 10B are produced. in an elastic textile piece whose properties make it possible to center and stabilize the apron.
    More particularly, it is expected in this example that the textile used here has the following elastic properties: - a longitudinal elongation for a contentive effect of between 35 and 45%, preferably - substantially equal to 41.5%, in order to stabilize that -this ; and / or - a radial elongation for a compressive effect of between 285 and 295%, preferably substantially equal to 289%, in order to center the latter.
    In this example and as illustrated in Figures 1 and in particular, the restraining force stabilizes the apron by constraining it in the pocket 11 in the direction d2-d2 ', and the compressive force centers the apron by constraining it. here in the pocket 11 in the direction d1-d1 '. In this example, the textile piece is selected so that it has: - a surface weight of between 225 and 230 grams per square meter, preferably substantially equal to 227.6 grams per square meter; and
    a thickness of between 0.60 and 0.80 millimeter, preferably substantially equal to 0.70 millimeter.
    Once the individual has positioned his apron in the pocket 11 and the belt 100 is correctly fixed around the trunk of the latter, provision can be made for the addition of a removable elastic retaining band 30 (illustrated in FIG. 4). which is intended to surround the front 10 and dorsal 20 parts to strengthen the support.
    It suffices for the individual U to grasp the ends of this strip 30 and bring them back to the front part 10 in order to fix them together by a system of loops / hooks 40 of the "Velcro®" type. This “Velcro®” 40 system can also be provided on the peripheral periphery of the belt 100 to improve its fixing.
    Still to improve the comfort of the wearer, there is provided in this example and as illustrated in FIG. 3 lumbar reinforcement bands 21 on the dorsal portion 20. Such bands can be made of a material having thermal properties making it possible to heat the area. lumbar.
    There is also provided in this example a pair of suspenders 50 whose ends 50A-50B are respectively fixed on the upper edge 12-22 of the front 10 and dorsal 20 parts. These suspenders 50 are also equipped with an adjustment system 51. of the hook / eye type to adjust the length of the straps 50 to the morphology of the individual U.
    In this example, rigid or semi-rigid reinforcing elements 114 are also provided at the level of the pocket 11; such elements 11a extend substantially in the longitudinal direction of the trunk (see Figure 2). Finally, in this example, a first boning system 14 provided on the front part 10 at the level of the apron is provided in order to promote the maintenance of the apron (FIG. 1), and a second boning system 24 provided on the dorsal part 20 at the level of the lumbar region. to promote the posture of the individual U (figure 5). By providing a tailor-made abdominal belt 100 adapted to the morphology of the overweight individual U and having a receiving pocket 11 of the abdominal apron, the present invention provides a significant advance in supporting the treatment of obesity.
    The making of such a 100 belt offers real benefits on the physical and physiological level, in particular: - By restoring a certain autonomy (wearing such a belt makes it easier to dress);
    - By promoting mobility and physical activity (wearing such a belt frees the individual in his movements); - By maintaining the excess and surplus skin; - By improving posture and relieving the back thus improving balance; Other benefits are also observed in the individual, such as self-esteem and relationship to others: wearing such a belt 100 improves the figure; on the psychological level, maintaining the abdomen has proprioception virtues and secures the patient who feels his body.
    It should be noted that this detailed description relates to a particular embodiment of the present invention, but that in any case this description is in no way limiting the subject of the invention; on the contrary, its objective is to remove any possible imprecision or any misinterpretation of the following claims. It should also be observed that the reference signs placed in brackets in the following claims are in no way limiting; the sole purpose of these signs is to improve the intelligibility and understanding of the following claims as well as the scope of the protection sought.
