Description

L'invention est relative à un casque de sécurité à calotte équipée d'un système de maintien destiné à attacher un accessoire à la surface extérieure de la calotte.The invention relates to a safety helmet with a cap fitted with a holding system intended to attach an accessory to the outer surface of the cap.

Le système de maintien des sangles d'une lampe frontale comporte généralement des élastiques fixés en des endroits prédéterminés de la calotte. Chaque élastique coopère avec un bec d'accrochage solidarisé à la surface extérieure de la calotte au moyen d'un rivet traversant la paroi de la calotte. Les opérations de rivetage compliquent la fabrication du casque, et le vieillissement prématuré des élastiques pose un problème de maintenance.The headlamp support system generally includes elastic bands fixed at predetermined locations on the cap. Each elastic cooperates with a hooking spout secured to the outer surface of the cap by means of a rivet passing through the wall of the cap. Riveting operations complicate the manufacture of the helmet, and the premature aging of the elastic poses a maintenance problem.

Pour les casques standards qui ne sont pas équipés d'élastiques de fixation, il est connu d'utiliser des clips en forme de crochets élastiques destinés à être insérés par le bas sur le bord inférieur du casque pour le maintien des sangles. Les clips sont formés par des pièces plastiques distinctes non intégrées à la calotte, et donc facilement perdables.For standard helmets which are not equipped with fixing elastics, it is known to use clips in the form of elastic hooks intended to be inserted from below on the lower edge of the helmet to hold the straps. The clips are formed by separate plastic parts not integrated into the cap, and therefore easily lost.

L'objet de l'invention consiste à améliorer le système de maintien d'un accessoire sur un casque de sécurité.The object of the invention is to improve the system for holding an accessory on a safety helmet.

Le casque selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le système de maintien comporte au moins une pièce de fixation montée par clipsage dans une ouverture de forme conjuguée ménagée dans la calotte, ladite pièce de fixation étant conformée en pince élastique comprenant :

  • une première aile extérieure réunie à une deuxième aile interne par des moyens de liaison, agencés pour autoriser un mouvement relatif d'écartement et de rapprochement entre les deux ailes,
  • un moyen de verrouillage mécanique situé sur la deuxième aile pour assurer un blocage positif de la pièce dans l'ouverture,
  • et un moyen élastique coopérant avec la paroi interne de la calotte pour solliciter la première aile externe contre la surface extérieure du casque.
The helmet according to the invention is characterized in that the holding system comprises at least one fixing piece mounted by clipping in an opening of conjugate shape made in the cap, said fixing piece being shaped as elastic clamp comprising:
  • a first outer wing joined to a second inner wing by connecting means, arranged to allow a relative movement of separation and reconciliation between the two wings,
  • a mechanical locking means located on the second wing to ensure positive blocking of the part in the opening,
  • and an elastic means cooperating with the internal wall of the cap to urge the first external wing against the external surface of the helmet.

Après montage dans les ouvertures de la calotte, les pièces de fixation font partie intégrante du casque. Le clipsage évite toute opération additionnelle de rivetage.After mounting in the openings of the cap, the fastening parts are an integral part of the helmet. The clipping avoids any additional riveting operation.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les deux ailes s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement l'une à l'autre pour former une encoche semi-ouverte destinée à coiffer un premier chant de l'ouverture. La deuxième aile interne possède une structure en lyre, ayant deux branches latérales solidaires des ponts de liaison et une branche médiane intercalaire constituant ledit moyen élastique.According to a characteristic of the invention, the two wings extend substantially parallel to one another to form a semi-open notch intended to cover a first edge of the opening. The second internal wing has a lyre structure, having two lateral branches integral with the connecting bridges and an intermediate middle branch constituting said elastic means.

Un espace longitudinal est ménagé entre les deux moyens de liaison pour autoriser le débattement de la branche médiane élastique de la deuxième aile. Une surface d'appui rectiligne est ménagée sur chaque pont de liaison à l'opposé de l'encoche, et est délimitée par une première butée et une deuxième butée solidaires respectivement de la première aile externe, et de la deuxième aile interne, l'écartement entre les deux butées étant supérieur à l'épaisseur de la paroi de la calotte.A longitudinal space is provided between the two connecting means to allow the movement of the elastic middle branch of the second wing. A rectilinear bearing surface is provided on each connecting bridge opposite the notch, and is delimited by a first stop and a second stop secured respectively to the first external wing, and to the second internal wing, the spacing between the two stops being greater than the thickness of the wall of the cap.

Le blocage de la pièce de fixation dans l'ouverture s'opère, d'une part au moyen d'un redan de la face terminale de la deuxième aile se trouvant en prise avec un premier chant de l'ouverture lors de la venue en engagement des surfaces d'appui contre un deuxième chant situé à l'opposé du premier chant, et d'autre part par effet d'élasticité par l'action de pression élastique de l'extrémité libre de la branche intercalaire de la deuxième aile sur la face interne de la calotte.The fastening part is blocked in the opening, on the one hand by means of a step on the end face of the second wing being engaged with a first edge of the opening when coming in. engagement of the bearing surfaces against a second edge located opposite the first edge, and on the other hand by elasticity effect by the action of elastic pressure of the free end of the intermediate branch of the second wing on the inner face of the cap.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'accessoire est formé par une lampe frontale associée à une coiffe à sangles élastiques.According to one embodiment, the accessory is formed by a headlamp associated with a cap with elastic straps.

Sur la figure 1, un casque 10 de sécurité est équipé à l'avant d'une lampe d'éclairage 12 frontale attachée à la surface extérieure de la calotte 14 par un système de maintien 16 conformé en coiffe élastique. La lampe 12 comporte une embase 18 articulée autour d'un axe 20 horizontal, et est solidarisée en permanence à la coiffe élastique du système de maintien 16, comprenant une paire de sangles 22, 24 latérales dont l'une 22 est représentée sur la partie gauche de la calotte 14, l'autre 24 est montrée en pointillé sur la partie droite de la calotte 14 et une troisième sangle 26 centrale. Les trois sangles 22, 24, 26 épousent la forme de la calotte 14, et sont réalisées au moyen d'un ruban élastique en matière textile synthétique, ayant une largeur prédéterminée, notamment comprise entre 1 et 7 centimètres.In FIG. 1, a safety helmet 10 is equipped at the front with a front lighting lamp 12 attached to the exterior surface of the cap 14 by a holding system 16 shaped as an elastic cap. The lamp 12 has a base 18 articulated around a horizontal axis 20, and is permanently attached to the elastic cap of the holding system 16, comprising a pair of side straps 22, 24 of which one 22 is shown on the part left of the cap 14, the other 24 is shown in dotted lines on the right part of the cap 14 and a third central strap 26. The three straps 22, 24, 26 conform to the shape of the cap 14, and are produced by means of an elastic tape made of synthetic textile material, having a predetermined width, in particular between 1 and 7 centimeters.

Chaque sangle 22, 24 latérale de la coiffe élastique s'étend parallèlement le long du bord inférieur 28 de la calotte 14, et présente une longueur sensiblement égale à la moitié du périmètre de base de la calotte 14.Each strap 22, 24 lateral of the elastic cap extends parallel along the lower edge 28 of the cap 14, and has a length substantially equal to half of the base perimeter of the cap 14.

L'orientation de la sangle 26 centrale s'effectue selon une génératrice située dans le plan médian de la calotte 14 de manière à contribuer à la stabilité de la coiffe élastique sur le casque 10.The orientation of the central strap 26 takes place according to a generatrix situated in the median plane of the cap 14 so as to contribute to the stability of the elastic cap on the helmet 10.

Le blocage des deux sangles latérales 22, 24 de la coiffe sur la surface extérieure de la calotte 14 s'opère au moyen de pièces de fixation 30 de structures identiques montées par clipsage dans des ouvertures 31 de formes conjuguées, ménagées dans la paroi de la calotte 14 au dessus du bord inférieur 28. Chaque ouverture 31 présente avantageusement une forme rectangulaire, mais il est clair que tout autre forme peut être utilisée.The two lateral straps 22, 24 of the cover are locked on the outer surface of the cap 14 by means of fastening pieces 30 of identical structures mounted by clipping into openings 31 of shaped conjugate, formed in the wall of the cap 14 above the lower edge 28. Each opening 31 advantageously has a rectangular shape, but it is clear that any other shape can be used.

Sur les figures 2 à 4, chaque pièce de fixation 30 est conformée en pince ou clip élastique, ayant une première aile 32 extérieure, dont l'une des extrémités est réunie à une deuxième aile 34 interne par des moyens de liaison comprenant deux ponts 36, 38 jouant le rôle de charnières. Les deux ailes 32, 34 sont sensiblement parallèles, de manière à constituer une encoche 40 semi-ouverte en forme de U destinée à coiffer le chant inférieur 42 de l'ouverture 31 lors de la mise en place de la pièce de fixation 30 sur la calotte 14.In FIGS. 2 to 4, each fixing part 30 is shaped as a clip or elastic clip, having a first external wing 32, one end of which is joined to a second internal wing 34 by connection means comprising two bridges 36 , 38 playing the role of hinges. The two wings 32, 34 are substantially parallel, so as to constitute a semi-open notch 40 in the shape of a U intended to cover the lower edge 42 of the opening 31 during the positioning of the fixing piece 30 on the cap 14.

L'aile interne 34 de la pièce de fixation 30 possède une structure en lyre, ayant deux branches 44, 46 latérales solidaires des ponts de liaison 36, 38, et une branche médiane 48 intercalaire servant de ressort de pression pour le maintien stable de la pièce de fixation 30 dans l'ouverture 31 correspondante. A l'opposé des ponts de liaison 36, 38, les trois branches 44, 46, 48 élémentaires sont réunies entre elles par la face terminale 50 s'étendant sur toute la largeur de l'aile interne 34, tandis que l'extrémité libre 51 de la branche médiane 48 se trouve en saillie par rapport à la surface d'appui 52, 54 sensiblement plane des deux ponts de liaison 36, 38.The inner wing 34 of the fixing piece 30 has a lyre structure, having two lateral branches 44, 46 integral with the connecting bridges 36, 38, and an intermediate middle branch 48 serving as a pressure spring for the stable maintenance of the fastener 30 in the corresponding opening 31. Opposite the connecting bridges 36, 38, the three elementary branches 44, 46, 48 are joined together by the end face 50 extending over the entire width of the inner wing 34, while the free end 51 of the middle branch 48 is projecting from the substantially planar bearing surface 52, 54 of the two connecting bridges 36, 38.

Un espace 56 longitudinal sépare les deux ponts de liaison 36, 38 autorisant le débattement par pivotement de la branche médiane 48 élastique de l'aile interne 34 selon une direction F1 (figure 4) sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'aile 32 extérieure. Chaque branche 44, 46 latérale de la deuxième aile interne 34 est dotée d'une protubérance 58, 60 disposée en regard d'une extension 62 plane de la première aile 32 extérieure. L'extension 62 s'étend sur toute la largeur de l'aile externe 32 et est équipée d'une première butée 63 formée par la surface interne plane orientée selon une direction perpendiculaire aux surfaces d'appui 52, 54 des deux ponts de liaison 36 ,38.A longitudinal space 56 separates the two connecting bridges 36, 38 allowing the deflection by pivoting of the elastic middle branch 48 of the internal wing 34 in a direction F1 (FIG. 4) substantially perpendicular to the external wing 32. Each side branch 44, 46 of the second inner wing 34 is provided with a protuberance 58, 60 disposed opposite a flat extension 62 of the first outer wing 32. The extension 62 extends over the entire width of the outer wing 32 and is equipped with a first stop 63 formed by the planar internal surface oriented in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surfaces 52, 54 of the two connecting bridges 36, 38.

Chaque protubérance 58, 60 comporte d'une manière similaire une deuxième butée 64 formée par la surface interne plane perpendiculaire aux surfaces d'appui 52, 54. L'écartement 65 transversal entre les deux butées 63, 64 correspond à la longueur des surfaces d'appui 52, 54 rectilignes des ponts 36, 38 et est supérieur à l'épaisseur 67 de l'encoche 40, ainsi qu'à celle de la paroi de la calotte 14.Each protuberance 58, 60 similarly includes a second stop 64 formed by the flat internal surface perpendicular to the bearing surfaces 52, 54. The transverse spacing 65 between the two stops 63, 64 corresponds to the length of the surfaces d 'support 52, 54 rectilinear bridges 36, 38 and is greater than the thickness 67 of the notch 40, as well as that of the wall of the cap 14.

La face terminale 50 interne de la deuxième aile 34 comporte un redan 66 de verrouillage s'étendant parallèlement aux surfaces d'appui 52, 54. L'extrémité libre de la première aile 32 est pourvue d'une arête 68 d'entrée oblique facilitant l'introduction des sangles 22, 24 latérales sur les pièces de fixation 30 montées sur le casque 10.The internal end face 50 of the second wing 34 has a locking step 66 extending parallel to the bearing surfaces 52, 54. The free end of the first wing 32 is provided with an oblique entry edge 68 facilitating the introduction of the lateral straps 22, 24 on the fastening parts 30 mounted on the helmet 10.

La distance 70 entre le redan 66 de verrouillage et les surfaces d'appui 52, 54 de la pièce de fixation 30 correspond sensiblement à la hauteur 72 de l'ouverture 31 correspondante de la calotte 14 (voir figure 2).The distance 70 between the locking step 66 and the bearing surfaces 52, 54 of the fixing piece 30 corresponds substantially to the height 72 of the corresponding opening 31 of the cap 14 (see FIG. 2).

Les pièces de fixation 30 sont avantageusement obtenues par moulage d'un matériau plastique de résistance mécanique élevée, autorisant la déformation élastique lors de l'insertion dans les ouvertures 31 de la calotte 14.The fixing pieces 30 are advantageously obtained by molding a plastic material of high mechanical strength, allowing elastic deformation during insertion into the openings 31 of the cap 14.

Le montage d'une pièce de fixation 30 sur la calotte 14, et l'insertion de la sangle 22 de la coiffe élastique s'effectuent de la manière suivante (voir figures 5 à 8) :

  • La figure 5 représente l'engagement selon la flèche F2 de la pièce de fixation 30 dans l'ouverture 31 de la calotte 14. Ce mouvement d'engagement s'opère en biais depuis l'extérieur du casque 10, en faisant chevaucher l'encoche 40 en U de la pièce 30 sur le chant 42 inférieur de l'ouverture 31. Une action de poussée sur l'extension 62 provoque l'écartement des deux ailes 32, 34, jusqu'au franchissement par les protubérances 58, 60 du chant supérieur 76 de l'ouverture 31. La surface extérieure des protubérances 58, 60 est avantageusement incurvée pour faciliter l'insertion de la pièce de fixation 30 dans l'ouverture 31. Durant l'écartement des ailes 32, 34, l'extrémité 51 de la branche médiane 48 de la deuxième aile 34 est sollicitée vers l'extension 62 de la première aile 32.
  • Sur la figure 6, la pièce de fixation 30 se trouve insérée et centrée dans l'ouverture 31 en coiffant le chant inférieur 42 avec un faible écartement des deux ailes 32, 34. Il subsiste un léger jeu entre l'extension 62 et le chant supérieur 76 de l'ouverture 31.
  • Pour assurer le blocage positif de la pièce de fixation 30 dans l'ouverture 31, il suffit de faire coulisser la pièce 30 dans le sens de la flèche F3 (figure 6) jusqu'à la fin de la course d'engagement des surfaces d'appui 52, 54 avec le chant supérieur 76 de l'ouverture 31 (figure 7). Dans cette position de fin de course, le redan 66 arrive au niveau du chant inférieur 42, suivi de son accrochage sous l'action de rappel élastique de la deuxième aile 34. Il en résulte un verrouillage positif de la pièce de fixation 30 dans l'ouverture 31.
The mounting of a fastening part 30 on the cap 14, and the insertion of the strap 22 of the elastic cap is carried out as follows (see FIGS. 5 to 8):
  • FIG. 5 represents the engagement according to the arrow F2 of the fixing piece 30 in the opening 31 of the cap 14. This engagement movement takes place at an angle from the outside of the helmet 10, overlapping the notch 40 in U of the part 30 on the lower edge 42 of the opening 31. A pushing action on the extension 62 causes the separation of the two wings 32, 34, until the protrusions 58, 60 of the upper edge 76 of the opening 31. The outer surface of the protrusions 58, 60 is advantageously curved to facilitate the insertion of the fixing piece 30 into the opening 31. During the spacing of the wings 32, 34, the end 51 of the middle branch 48 of the second wing 34 is biased towards the extension 62 of the first wing 32.
  • In FIG. 6, the fixing part 30 is inserted and centered in the opening 31 by covering the lower edge 42 with a slight spacing of the two wings 32, 34. There remains a slight clearance between the extension 62 and the edge upper 76 of opening 31.
  • To ensure the positive locking of the fixing piece 30 in the opening 31, it suffices to slide the piece 30 in the direction of the arrow F3 (FIG. 6) until the end of the engagement stroke of the surfaces d 'support 52, 54 with the upper edge 76 of the opening 31 (Figure 7). In this end-of-travel position, the step 66 arrives at the level of the lower edge 42, followed by its hooking under the elastic return action of the second wing 34. This results in positive locking of the fixing part 30 in the opening 31.

La pièce de fixation 30 se trouve encastrée dans l'ouverture 31 et fait partie intégrante de la calotte 14. La première butée 63 se trouve en appui stable contre la paroi extérieure de la calotte 14 par l'action de la force élastique de rappel, résultant de la venue en appui de l'extrémité 51 de la branche médiane 48 contre la paroi interne de la calotte 14 au dessus du chant supérieur 76. La deuxième butée 64 est séparée de la paroi interne de la calotte 14 par un intervalle prédéterminé.The fixing part 30 is embedded in the opening 31 and forms an integral part of the cap 14. The first stop 63 is in stable support against the outer wall of the cap 14 by the action of the elastic return force, resulting from the abutment of the end 51 of the middle branch 48 against the inner wall of the cap 14 above the upper edge 76. The second stop 64 is separated from the inner wall of the cap 14 by a predetermined interval.

L'insertion de la sangle 22 ou 24 dans la pièce 30 s'effectue du côté de l'arête oblique 68 dans le sens de la flèche F4 (figure 7). La sangle 22 glisse jusqu'au fond de l'encoche 40, et provoque la venue en saillie de la pièce de fixation 30 qui se déplace en translation selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la calotte 14 (flèche F5, figure 8). En fonction de l'épaisseur de la sangle 22, la deuxième butée 64 se rapproche plus ou moins de la paroi interne de la calotte 14, et peut venir en contact avec elle. La première butée 63 est alors séparée de la paroi extérieure de la calotte 14 par un intervalle prédéterminé, mais les surfaces d'appui 52, 54 restent en engagement contre le chant supérieur 76 de l'ouverture 31. La première aile 32 extérieure serre la sangle 22 contre la surface extérieure de la calotte 14 grâce à la force de pression exercée par l'extrémité 51 sur la paroi interne du casque 10. Le redan 66 se trouve toujours en prise avec le chant inférieur 42 de manière à conserver l'effet de verrouillage de la pièce de fixation 30.The insertion of the strap 22 or 24 into the part 30 takes place on the side of the oblique edge 68 in the direction of the arrow F4 (FIG. 7). The strap 22 slides to the bottom of the notch 40, and causes the attachment piece 30 to protrude, which moves in translation in a direction substantially perpendicular to the cap 14 (arrow F5, FIG. 8). Depending on the thickness of the strap 22, the second stop 64 more or less approaches the internal wall of the cap 14, and can come into contact with it. The first stop 63 is then separated from the outer wall of the cap 14 by a predetermined interval, but the bearing surfaces 52, 54 remain in engagement against the upper edge 76 of the opening 31. The first outer wing 32 clamps the strap 22 against the outer surface of the cap 14 thanks to the pressure force exerted by the end 51 on the inner wall of the helmet 10. The step 66 is still in engagement with the lower edge 42 so as to retain the effect for locking the fixing part 30.

Dans la position montée inactive de la figure 7, la pièce de fixation 30 peut être démontée en exerçant un effort de déverrouillage sur l'extrémité inférieure de la face terminale 50, suivi d'un mouvement de coulissement en direction du chant inférieur 42, et d'un dégagement vers la gauche, entraînant le retrait de la pièce de fixation 30 hors de l'ouverture 31.In the inactive mounted position of FIG. 7, the fixing piece 30 can be dismantled by exerting an unlocking force on the lower end of the end face 50, followed by a sliding movement in the direction of the lower edge 42, and of a clearance to the left, causing the fixing part 30 to be withdrawn from the opening 31.

Selon une variante, l'extrémité de la face terminale 50 de la deuxième aile 34 interne est agencée pour interdire tout déverrouillage du redan 66 après montage de la pièce de fixation 30 dans l'ouverture 31. Le démontage de la pièce de fixation 30 est alors rendu impossible.According to a variant, the end of the end face 50 of the second internal wing 34 is arranged to prevent any unlocking of the step 66 after mounting of the fixing piece 30 in the opening 31. The dismantling of the fixing piece 30 is then made impossible.

L'orientation des pièces de fixation 30 sur la calotte 14 peut être inversée en faisant coopérer les surfaces d'appui 52, 54 avec le chant inférieur 42, et le redan de verrouillage avec le chant supérieur 76 des ouvertures 31.The orientation of the fixing pieces 30 on the cap 14 can be reversed by making the bearing surfaces 52, 54 cooperate with the lower edge 42, and the locking step with the upper edge 76 of the openings 31.

L'usage des pièces de fixation 30 sur la calotte 14 peut être réservé à tout autre accessoire devant être attaché au casque 10.The use of the fastening parts 30 on the cap 14 can be reserved for any other accessory to be attached to the helmet 10.

Le montage des pièces de fixation 30 peut être réalisé en usine, ou par l'utilisateur lui-même selon la nature de l'accessoire.The mounting pieces 30 can be mounted in the factory, or by the user himself depending on the nature of the accessory.
