Definitions

  • This invention relates to a ventilation device for circulation of air inside a protective helmet, in particular of the integral type, for motorcycle use, comprising: openings surrounded by a deflector placed in the upper part of the helmet beyond the center line of division between pressure and low pressure, when the helmet is struck by a fluid current and it is characterized in that the steam (flow) of air which enters by the lower part of the helmet to eliminate the condensation of the visor, is sucked upwards by a chimney effect generating a true and real circulation which, by preventing the stagnation of the hot air, creates an effect of real inside conditioning.
  • the GB-A 2 167 285 patent discloses a ventilation device for circulating of air inside a helmet, in particular of the integral type for motorcycle use, comprising openings placed at the lower parts of the helmet for bringing the air from the outside and openings surrounded by a deflector, placed in the upper part of the helmet beyond the center line of division between pressure and low pressure, when the helmet is struck by a fluid current.
  • the helmet (fig. 2) is equipped as known with an extraction deflector 1 (fig. 1) mounted on the upper part of the cap and communicating by means of slotted openings 2 with a chamber 3 located between the outside cap and cap of absorption material.
  • Deflector 1 has the shape of a wing profile with connected outlet edge to reduce noise and turbulence and it is placed in the center line of the cap in a zone that puts it roughly at the point of greatest height of the helmet when the latter is put on by the wearer; therefore the discharge zone is placed beyond the center line of division between pressure and low pressure of the helmet.
  • the deflector is also adjustable in capacity by sliding in a suitable seat (which also permits its closing).
  • Circulation of the air occurs in a circular zone above the wearer's head, made between the head itself and the absorption material.
  • This zone 4 (fig. 2 and 5) communicates with the outside by six openings (fig. 3), two intake openings 5 and four outlet openings 7.
  • the two intake openings 5 are obtained on the two extreme sides of the front zone above the front by means of two ducts made in the cap of absorption material, covered by sheets 6 of semirigid material that prevent the padding from penetrating into them (fig. 2). These ducts allow the direct passage of the air between the two zones on the side of front 5' and the zone above the wearer's head.
  • the four outlet openings 7 ' are precisely four cylindrical holes 7 suitably connected which, going all the way through the cap of absorption material, put zone 4 in communication with duct 8 of a particular shape which ends precisely in collection zone 3 under opening slots 2 communicating with the outside.
  • duct 8 there is a particular configuration, which can be seen in the drawings, which makes possible a balanced extraction of the air through the four communication holes.
  • the system also be adapted to jet helmets for various uses.
