Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protection device in particular for motorcyclists.
  • the aim of this invention is to remedy this shortcoming by providing a protection device, in particular for motorcyclists, more particularly intended to protect the user's spine, including the cervical vertebrae, and where appropriate the kidneys.
  • a protection device in particular for motorcyclists, more particularly intended to protect the user's spine, including the cervical vertebrae, and where appropriate the kidneys.
  • the device according to the invention illustrated has three elements connected to each other, respectively a belt 1, a spine protector element 2 and a protector element neck 3, the belt 1 and the neck protection element 3 being each arranged perpendicular to one of the ends of the column carrier element 2.
  • the three above elements can be, as illustrated in FIG. 1, d '' a single piece, or be made separately and provided with means to assemble them appropriately.
  • the three elements preferably consist of two superposed layers of leather or of a synthetic material having similar properties, the inner layer 4 being thin and flexible and the outer layer 5 being thicker and more rigid.
  • an air chamber 6, for example of rubber or of an elastic plastic material, generally surrounded by a sheath 7 for example of an elastic textile material.
  • the internal faces of the two superimposed layers 4, 5 can be provided, on each side of the air chamber 6, with a fastening strip 8 of the "Velcro" type making it possible to maintain the deflated layers in normal deflated position (FIG. 2A) one against the other.
  • the length of the column protection element 2 depends on the size of the user and must be provided to go from the neck of the latter up 'to the kidneys, so up to the space provided for the belt.
  • the width of the inner tube 6 is generally about fifteen centimeters at least in terms of the portions presented by the belt 1 and the column protection element 2 and slightly less in terms of the portion presented the neck protection element 3.
  • the belt 1 has, near one of its ends, a pocket 9 containing a cartridge 10 of compressed gas, for example air, carbon dioxide or any gaseous mixture suitable for being easily stored in the compressed state and being quickly relaxed when necessary.
  • a cartridge 10 of compressed gas for example air, carbon dioxide or any gaseous mixture suitable for being easily stored in the compressed state and being quickly relaxed when necessary.
  • This cartridge is removably connected to an introduction nozzle provided in the air chamber 6 by means of a fixing device 11 of a type known per se such as a screw thread, bayonet, clip, etc. device.
  • the cartridge 10 is further provided with automatic triggering means, for example comprising a cup 12 controlling the opening of said cartridge 10, this pin 12 being connected to a control wire 13, the use of which will be explained later.
  • closure means 14 of any type known per se.
  • the protection device according to the invention as described with reference to FIG. 1 is intended to be fixed for example on a motorcyclist in the manner of a harness.
  • it comprises two straps 15 fixed near the ends of the neck protection element 3 and forming two loops passing under the armpits of the motorcyclist.
  • the straps 15 can be connected in front of the belt 1 (Figure 3A) and behind the column protector 2 ( Figure 3B) by other straps respectively 16 and 16 '.
  • the column protection element 2 is arranged along the spine of the motorcyclist and the neck protection element 3 on the neck of the latter, at the limit of the helmet 17, the belt 1 being buckled in the usual way and in such a way that the lower portion of the inner tube 6 is positioned at the level of the kidneys of the motorcyclist and that the cartridge 10 of compressed gas is located in the ventral region thereof.
  • the neck protection element 3 has extensions 18 (FIG. 3A) arranged laterally and returning under the jaw of the user to protect it.
  • the protective device according to the invention can be incorporated or removably attached to a garment.
  • the protective device can be fixed, by sewing it, when making a garment 19 such as jacket, jacket or jumpsuit, between the inner lining and the skin or the outer fabric.
  • the protective device may include means such as buttons, pressures, clips, or strips of the "Velcro" type enabling it to be fixed in a removable manner to corresponding means which are provided inside the garment 19.
  • the protective belt 1 of the device can also be used to close the garment itself.
  • the neck protector 3 it is preferably incorporated into the neck 20 of the garment 19 so that it can be raised on the neck of the user when the air chamber which it comprises is in the inflated position.
  • the protective device according to the invention is sufficiently firmly fixed for example on a motorcyclist, either by means of the straps provided for this purpose or by the closure of the protective clothing, so that it does not risk being moved by the motions of the motorcyclist, then he is in the normal service position.
  • the motorcyclist When taking a seat on his motorcycle, the motorcyclist must then fix the free end of the control wire 13, connected to the pin 12 for triggering the cartridge 10 of compressed gas to a fixed member of the motorcycle, said free end being for this provided with a hook or any other element capable of being fixed on the motorcycle.
  • the ejection of the motorcyclist relative to his motorcycle causes the tear-off of the pin 12, the latter remaining connected to the motorcycle by the control wire 13, and triggers the introduction of the gas contained in the cartridge 10 in the air chamber 6 immediately causing it to inflate.
  • the motorcyclist is thus protected by the presence of air cushions placed along his spine, on his neck and if necessary on his kidneys.
  • the outer layer 5 of the device is relatively thick and rigid, which further reinforces the protective role of the latter in the event of impact or crushing, the inner layer 4 flexible and fine adapting to it the morphology of the motorcyclist.
  • the inflatable sealed enclosure of the device can be constituted by several completely independent air chambers each provided with its own inflation means with automatic triggering or by several air chambers connected to each other and inflatable from a device single inflation with automatic release.
  • the location and shape of the compressed gas cartridge (s) as well as the number thereof, are not limited.
  • the means for automatically triggering the opening of the compressed gas cartridge for instantaneous inflation of the air chamber (s) may be different from those described above by way of example.
  • the neck protection element can be combined with an additional element which, by inflation, rises behind the head of the user to the top thereof or which takes the form of a kind of helmet.
  • the protective clothing in the case of the protective clothing according to the invention, it can also be provided with other waterproof enclosures provided with inflation means with automatic triggering, for example at the joints (knees, elbows).
  • the device according to the invention thus constitutes protection, for example for the motorcyclist that he had not hitherto had at his disposal.
  • This simple and relatively inexpensive device makes it possible to significantly reduce the risk of serious damage or even permanent handicap to organs such as the spine, cervical vertebrae and, where appropriate, the kidneys, in particular in the event of a fall or motorcycle accident.
  • the device or the coating according to the invention may be intended for the protection not only of motorcyclists, but also of drivers and passengers of sidecars, and of all persons practicing a sport or any other motorized activity or not exhibiting risks of accidents that can lead to injuries to the spine, kidneys and / or neck.
