Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement for a helmet, and more particularly to a helmet, the outer shell of which comprises elastic deformation means in its rear lower part.
  • the helmet is more especially intended to be worn by pilots of airplanes or helicopters, but this in a non-exclusive manner, since the invention can be used for any type of helmet.
  • Protective helmets are already known which are used in different fields and worn by various users such as cyclists, motorcyclists, firefighters, skiers and others, such as pilots of airplanes or helicopters. All current helmets, whatever their use, comprise an external rigid shell having the general shape of a sphere, comprising a facial opening, and the cavity thus formed comprises protective and comfort padding elements intended to fit the head of the user.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the current devices and systems for holding and comforting the neck and proposes a new helmet, the rear part of the shell of which comprises particularly simple elastic adaptation means. Adaptation to the neck of the user being done automatically, thus ensuring comfort to date never obtained.
  • the protective helmet according to the invention is of the type comprising a main external shell constituted by a wall having a front facial opening, and is characterized in that the lower rear portion of the wall comprises means of elastic deformation, the external shell main being of deformable material.
  • the wall of the outer shell is made of plastic, or of composite material of the type for example consisting of at least one layer of glass fibers and / or carbon and / or aramid or the like, impregnated a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin.
  • the main outer shell of the helmet of the invention comprises several wall portions, namely, an upper front wall portion extended rearwards by an upper rear wall portion, itself extended downwards by a rear portion lower wall, limited downwards by a lower border, said lower rear wall portion comprising at least one cutout opening, which advantageously opens downwards on the lower border.
  • the lower rear wall portion comprises two, three or four, or more, side cutouts, having the shape of a slot.
  • the protective helmet comprises a neck cushion retained in the shell, in part by the cutouts in the wall.
  • Figure 1 is an external side view of a helmet according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a front perspective view of the helmet.
  • Figure 3 is a rear view showing more particularly the invention.
  • Figure 4 is a partial sectional view along IV-IV of Figure 3, but on a larger scale, showing how the neck cushion is attached.
  • Figure 5 is a partial sectional view along V-V of Figure 3, illustrating how the finishing of the lower edge of the shell is carried out.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show the shell alone, in a front view ( Figure 6) and in a rear view ( Figure 7).
  • Figure 8 is a rear perspective view, while Figure 9 shows under the same conditions the neck cushion with its attachment means.
  • Figures 10 to 18 are rear views similar to Figure 7 showing on another scale and schematically nine possible alternative embodiments given by way of example.
  • Figures 19a, 19b are views similar to Figures 8 and 9 illustrating an alternative embodiment.
  • Figures 20 and 21 are schematic partial views showing how the neck cushion could also be retained.
  • the protective helmet shown by way of example in FIGS. 1 to 9, bearing the general reference (1) is in particular a helmet for an airplane pilot, which has a longitudinal plane of general symmetry (P) which comprises in a manner known per se a main external shell (2) having a front facial opening (3) with an internal padding commonly called cap (4).
  • P longitudinal plane of general symmetry
  • the main external shell (2) is constituted by a substantially spherical wall (5) of general vertical plane of symmetry (P) which is advantageously made of composite material of the type comprising a stack of layers of reinforcing fibers, impregnated and bonded together by a resin matrix.
  • the fibers can be glass, aramid, nylon, polyethylene or carbon fibers, while the matrix can be a resin of the thermosetting or thermoplastic type.
  • the main external shell (2) comprises several wall portions, namely, an upper front wall portion (6) extended rearwards by an upper rear wall portion (7), itself extended downwards by a lower rear wall portion (8), and further includes two side wall portions (9a, 9b).
  • the upper front portion (6) corresponds to the zone occupied by the forehead of the user and is limited by the upper border (10) of the facial opening (3) which, in turn, is limited laterally by two lateral borders (11a, 11b).
  • the upper rear wall portion (7) corresponds to the area occupied by the user's skull, while the lower rear wall portion (8) corresponds to the area occupied by the user's neck.
  • the wall (5) of the cap is limited downwards by a lower border (12) extending in a general plane (Q) inclined relative to the horizontal plane (H) to extend towards the back (AR) and up (HA).
  • the lateral wall portions (9a, 9b) correspond to the areas occupied by the ears of the user and are limited towards the front by the corresponding lateral border (l ia, 11b) of the facial opening (3) and towards the bottom by the front ends of the lower border (12).
  • the lower rear wall portion (8) of the outer shell bounded downwards by the lower edge (12) comprises elastic deformation means which allow a precise adjustment and comfort of wearing a helmet in the user's neck area.
  • the lower rear part of the shell thus comprises openings or cutouts (13, 14a, 14b) which advantageously open downwards (BA) onto the lower edge (12).
  • openings or cutouts 13, 14a, 14b
  • BA open downwards
  • FIGS. 1 to 9 there are provided three openings or cutouts (13, 14a, 14b) having the form of open slots on the lower edge to thereby create two deformable tongues (15a, 15b) and two deformable side wall pieces (16a, 16b).
  • the lower edge (12) therefore comprises three longitudinal notches (13, 14a, 14b), a central notch (13) and two lateral notches (14a, 14b), giving flexibility to the wall of the helmet at the level where the openings, that is to say at the rear rear wall (8).
  • the axes of general symmetry (Xl-X'l, X2-X2, X3-X "3) of the three slots (13, 14a, 14b) extend upwards (HA) and advantageously perpendicularly to the lower border (12) over a length (L).
  • the helmet comprises a peripheral neck cushion (17) arranged inside the shell at the level of the lower edge (12).
  • This neck cushion (17) consists of a foam padding (18) wrapped in a fabric covering (19).
  • the neck cushion (17) is retained in the shell, at least in part, by the deformation notches (13, 14a, 14b).
  • projections (20, 20a, 20b) integral with the neck cushion (17) which are intended to cooperate with the corresponding notches (13, 14a, 14b) to be retained there.
  • the neck cushion (17) is, for example, extended upward by a flexible retaining wall (21) on which are fixed the three hooking projections (20, 20a, 20b) each comprising a cylindrical part ( 200), the end of which includes a retaining flange (201), as can be seen more particularly in FIGS. 4 and 9.
  • the central part (170) of the neck cushion (17) is advantageously extended laterally forwards by lateral extensions (171, 172) which are fixed inside the shell to be attached to the inner face located at the lower edge (12) and the side edges (l ia, 11b) of the facial opening.
  • the fixing of the lateral extensions (171, 172) can be done by any means such as gluing, hanging by self-gripping tape, clipping or other.
  • finishing profile (22) is more particularly visible in FIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 5.
  • Said finishing profile (22) having the shape of a U being made of flexible plastic material and fitted on the lower edge (12) ensuring continuity with the edge of the three slots (13, 14a, 14b).
  • the internal covering of the shell (2) is constituted by a cap (4), for example, of rigid foam covered with a layer of flexible comfort foam and of a ussu which ensures the internal decoration of the helmet.
  • a cap (4) for example, of rigid foam covered with a layer of flexible comfort foam and of a ussu which ensures the internal decoration of the helmet.
  • the rear part of the cap is extended by a rear comfort strip (26) made of flexible foam and under which is engaged the retaining wall (21) of the neck cushion, as appears more particularly in FIG. 4.
  • the cutouts (13, 14a, 14b) made in the wall (5) of the lower rear part (8) of the shell (2) are three in number, of same length and same width, but it could be, of course, quite different and for example, there could be only one slot (13), as illustrated in Figure 10, or two cutouts ( 14a, 14b) as illustrated in FIG. 11. There could, of course, be more than three cutouts, as according to the embodiment of FIG. 12 where four cutouts are provided (14a, 14'a, 14b, 14 'b).
  • cutouts are of the same length "L” and of the same width "1", but it could be otherwise, as illustrated diagrammatically by FIGS. 13, 14,
  • cutouts (13, 14a, 14b, 14'a, 14'b) which open onto the lower edge (12) are longitudinal slots extending upwards from the shell, but it could be otherwise as this is, for example, illustrated in Figures 17 and 18 which show two other possible embodiments.
  • the helmet according to the invention can, it goes without saying, comprise one or more pivoting protective face shield such as, for example, illustrated and bearing the reference (50).
  • Figures 19a and 19b illustrate an alternative embodiment according to which the retaining of the neck cushion (17) is constituted by projections (20, 20a, 20b) which are engaged in corresponding holes (200, 200a, 200b) made in the helmet wall.
  • finishing profile (22) could participate in retaining the neck cushion (17) by actively retaining the hooking projections (20, 20a, 20b).
  • retaining projections (220) can be provided on the finishing profile (22) intended to retain the cylindrical part (200) of the hooking projections (20, 20a, 20b) of the neck cushion (17).
  • FIG. 21 represents a variant according to which the finishing profile comprises a peripheral projection (221) intended to retain the flange (201) of the latching projection (20, 20a, 20b) of the latching projections (20, 20a, 20b) of the neck cushion.
