French term

lichette

French to English Science Textiles / Clothing / Fashion protective clothing
Context:
Ladite au moins une zone de préhension d’une telle combinaison peut par exemple être une lichette, un élastique, une patte, un cordon ou peut encore être formée par une zone du tissu (qui ne doit pas être formellement délimitée) de la combinaison, cette zone étant agencée pour être agrippée et saisie.

Translation is a patent for new protective hood being part of combination garment

Why patents have to be written in gobbledygook is beyond me.

TIA Chris.

Thanks Tony. Time the Belgians kept to mussels and chips.
Peer comment(s):

agree writeaway : so it's even in the Fr-En dicos? I am wary of accepting texts in language versions I don't know.

I only knew "lichette" in its French meaning of " a very small/thin amount of" (thin slice of cake, for example!).

Maybe here, in the BE meaning, "lichette" is a generic lead-in to the list that follows :

"... may for example be some type of attachment/fastening (an elastic, a tab, a cord), or perhaps even formed by a piece of fabric..."
