Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved device for securing helmets, in particular protective helmets for drivers, passengers of motor vehicles and in particular two- or three-wheeled vehicles.
  • Helmet securing devices which are traditionally composed of two straps in the form of thongs, called chinstrap, these are joined by an adjustable loop, thus fixing the helmet on the wearer's head.
  • the helmet instead of being secured by two separate devices which close under the helmet, the device according to the invention only involves a moving part, the latter being located in the front part of the helmet.
  • This rigid, mobile part, in the closed position encloses the wearer's head from the front, under the mandible, thus retaining the helmet on the head thereof.
  • this front piece for fitting or removing the helmet can be achieved in different ways: according to one of the variants proposed, the front part causes the helmet to completely disconnect and re-couple by snap-fastening, locking or other of each side of it, or disengage by lateral pivoting around a hinge, closing being effected by snap-fastening of a bolt or other system on the opposite part. Or again, the front part can move forward by sliding on two slides, and locking internally when closed.
  • the front part can tilt forwards around an axis of rotation of the hinge type, for opening movements.
  • This axis may be located above the orifice intended to clear the field of vision, or preferably below it.
  • the front part can tilt forward around two: axes of rotation placed laterally on each side towards the rear of the opening intended for the visual field.
  • the locking will also be carried out by two side latches located at the base of the helmet.
  • the invention relates to a device which therefore has great ease of use which can go to a single movable part which rocks forwards; in addition, it also has great security if the wearer is injured due to the simplicity of removing the helmet subject to this system.
  • This securing system also allows great ease of installation and removal.
  • a helmet II of conventional shape shown schematically, dressed with a rigid movable part 12, made in principle of the same material as the shell, on which is reported a visor 13, in transparent material, one other allowing visibility.
  • the above mobile part is equipped with its two stops 14 and 14 '(in symmetry).
  • the mobile part 12 is disposed at the front of the helmet and moves forward and upward relative to its two lateral axes 15 and 15 ′ located next to the two upper angles of the vision slot.
  • Figure II illustrates an embodiment of the device according to the invention, so we see on each side a self-locking locking system 16 - 16 'cooperating with the fasteners.
  • the fasteners 17 and 17 make it possible to maintain the two assembled parts (the mobile part with the helmet).
  • a centering shoulder 18 guides the two parts relative to each other.
  • the movable part 12 when closed therefore represents the securing device according to the invention.
  • the padding 19 made of materials similar to those used for protection in the shell II, comes to rest under the mandible the helmet with the wearer's head. This bead is of course maintained over its entire length by the extension of the rigid part under the mandible, freeing only the passage of the neck.
  • the front part of the neck is itself protected from the rigid material by the overflow of the bead 19 which can be seen in FIG.
  • a padding 20 located at the inferior posterior base of the shell II will be adjusted around the mark in the same way and with the same precautions as the above bead.
  • the mobile part can be guided and braked in its opening by a tab of special shape 2I, which will slide in a slide forming an integral part of the helmet.
  • Adjustable aerators 22 will preferably be made for the above reasons.
  • the opening curve XX 'of the movable part 12 due to the choice of the location of the hinge pin 15, voluntarily causes a slight jamming on the chin.
  • This characteristic means that in the event of the helmet being torn off, the movable part 12 will always tend to close, thus applying no effect in this critical phase, on the closing latch 16 in the direction of the deveroni- ll a g e , thus ensuring a very great security as for the subjection of the casçue
  • the effort in this case will be essentially supported by the joint 15 as in the conventional case of a strap on its retaining rivets.
  • the strap has a weak point at its closure loop which is not the case in the method according to the invention, the device is made in one rigid piece.
  • the headset II and its moving part 12 close again my nt and further under the wearer's head than in a conventional caeque and present no sharp corners there, there will be less risk of hanging, dangerous helmet from below in case of accident.
  • FIG. III illustrates a preferred embodiment according to the invention, that is to extend the lower part of the helmet as a whole (shell and movable front part) by a sufficiently large return 23, and more particularly facing the nape of the neck and of the larynx, this return being internally lined with an absorption layer 24 and a layer of honeycomb foam 25, more flexible for comfort, this in order to prevent the edge of the helmet from being cut off during rotation and brutal of it, following a shock, does not come to traumatize the larynx or the cervical vertebrae.
  • the curve of this return will be plotted as a function of the apparent center of rotation "C R" of the helmet, the latter being located approximately in the vicinity of the geometric center of the upper hemisphere of the helmet
  • this center of rotation may vary slightly.
  • the lower part of the helmet can be used, which returns under the head and under the mandible at four privileged points firstly for the front part of the helmet, on each side, under the mandible, just in front of the gonic angle and on each side of the larynx 26; in fact at this point, when the jaw is opened, the displacement of the mandible is slight, unlike that recorded at the tip of the chin, thus making it possible to release it a little below, while retaining the support in front of the chin 28.
  • the invention finds an interesting application in the safety of cyclists, motorcyclists and racing drivers.
