Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a helmet with a retractable screen, of the type in which the screen has a lower notch intended to rest on the nose of the user and is biased towards the inside of the helmet by an elastic means.
  • the screen is directly movable relative to the cap of the helmet and is biased towards the inside thereof by two elastic bands stretched between the lateral edges of the screen and the cap itself.
  • This screen therefore has a self-adjusting ability in the front-rear direction in the lowered position, but it is necessary to act directly on it to maneuver it, which presents a risk of soiling and / or rapid deterioration of the screen.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a helmet enabling this drawback to be eliminated.
  • the subject of the invention is a helmet with a retractable screen of the aforementioned type, characterized in that said elastic means connects the screen to a hoop articulated at two diametrically opposite points on the outer cap of the helmet and provided with members actuation accessible from the outside of this cap.
  • the elastic means is constituted by an elastic tab connecting the top of the arch to that of the screen, the screen, the arch and the tab possibly being able to be made of 'one piece.
  • the helmet for skiers shown in FIG. 1 is symmetrical with respect to a vertical median plane which is the plane of this figure. It consists of a rigid outer cap 1, for example made of molded plastic, a shock absorbing lining or cap 2, for example of expanded plastic, and a device 3 with a retractable screen.
  • the cap 1 has a classic shape roughly in three-quarters of a sphere extended forward and downward by two side cheeks 4 that are roughly flat. These two cheeks can, as a variant, extend forward and be joined by a transverse strip (not shown) to give the helmet the so-called "integral" shape.
  • the cap 2 exactly matches the inside shape of the cap 1 in the posterior half thereof, to which it adheres. From the transverse diametral plane P, it extends forwards along substantially the same radius of curvature while progressively deviating towards the bottom of the cap 1. A space 5 widening towards the outside is thus defined in the antero-superior part of the helmet, between the cap 1 and the cap 2.
  • An element 6 of the device 3 with a retractable screen externally doubles this front part of the cap 2 and consequently defines the lower limit of the space 5.
  • This element 6 is constituted by a thin, relatively rigid sphere quarter, which extends towards the bottom, on each side, by a flange 7 protruding from the cap 2 and ending a little before the lower edge of the cap 1, in the vicinity of the plane P.
  • Each flange 7 is crossed by a rivet 8 which fixes it to the cap 1
  • a downward recess 9 is provided on each side in the antero-upper part of the element 6.
  • This recess has, in lateral view (FIG. 1), the shape of a ramp starting at approximately 45 °. then curved upward.
  • the device 3 comprises a hoop 10 and a screen or telescope 11.
  • the hoop 10 forms a semicircle of radius slightly less than the cap 1; at each end, it is articulated on the rivet 8 and is extended downwards by a rectilinear lever 12 adjacent to the corresponding cheek 4. This lever 12 protrudes from the lower edge of the cap 1.
  • the screen 11 is made of transparent plastic, possibly smoked or colored. It has the classic form of a pair of enveloping monobloc glasses and having a lower notch 13 adapted to rest on the nose of the user. Its periphery is continuous and devoid of angle, and it is bordered in its lower part by a foam seal 14.
  • the maximum width of the screen 11 is equal to the distance separating the start of the two ramps 9. As shown the bottom view of FIG. 3, the transverse curvature of this screen is greater than that of the part of the element 6 which is located between the ramps 9.
  • An elastic tab 15 of roughly rectangular shape, of small width, is fixed by one end to the top of the screen 11 and by the other end to that of the arch 10. It can be envisaged to make a single part the screen, the arch and this tab 15, in a suitable plastic material.
  • the operation of the device 3 is as follows.
  • the arch is at the bottom of the space 5, in the vicinity of the plane P.
  • the screen 11 is entirely, or almost entirely, housed in the part of the viewing surface of the screen, which therefore does not risk being scratched, nor of the seal 14, which does not risk before of this space 5; it rests, solely by its lateral edges, on the ramps 9. More precisely, the points 16 of this screen which are the most distant from each other, located a little above the ends of the joint 14, are in pressing on the junction between the roughly rectilinear part and the curved part of the ramps 9, while the upper edge of the screen abuts on the element 6 in the vicinity of the internal end of these ramps. In this position, the tab 15 is bandaged and presses the screen 11 against the element 6.
  • Fig. 1 represents several positions of the screen to illustrate the complex movement that it describes: the points 16 slide along the ramps 9 to the outer end 17 thereof. Then the screen 11 pivots, roughly by these points 16, around the ends 17, after which points on the upper edge of the screen, increasingly closer to its top, slide on the front edge 18 of the element 6 located between the two points 17. Next, the screen 11, entirely disengaged from the element 6, is elastically pushed towards the inside of the helmet by the detent of the tab 15.
  • this screen thus has a double ability to adapt to the morphology of the user: on the one hand in height, according to the more or less advanced position of the arch 10, on the other hand horizontally, thanks to the thrust elastic towards the bottom of the helmet exerted by the tab 15.
  • the length of the latter is calculated so that the screen can be applied to the smallest head possible with the helmet.
  • Fig. 2 shows in solid lines the positions of the screen 11 and of the arch 10 for a small head, and in phantom the corresponding positions for a larger head, for which the screen is pushed forward and towards the high by the nose and makes the hoop move back and up somewhat 10.
  • levers 12 could be replaced by any other actuation member accessible from the outside, for example buttons, tongues, etc.
  • the ramps 9 can be replaced by other judiciously placed guide members such as pins.
  • Fig. 4 shows the application of the invention to a simpler helmet, for example a welding helmet, where aerodynamics are not sought.
  • the screen can without drawback be retracted outside the cap 1.
  • the hoop 10 thus follows the outer surface of this cap, and the levers 12 can be replaced by a simpler operating member such that a button 19 located at its top. Since, moreover, the screen does not need to occupy a minimum space in the retracted position, its guidance is ensured simply by two external pins 20 ' fixed to the cap 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows in broken lines several positions of the screen. Of course, a stop (not shown) can limit the upward movement of the arch 10.
