Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic safety helmet and cover protection which can be worn on the back mainly of people who play sport. The protection means is stored in a rucksack case (3) and is attached to the back by straps (4-6). The case accommodates essentially a guard (11-19), a drive member and a control mechanism. There is storage space in the centre for various implements. By triggering a spring accumulator (40.1, 40.2), the protection means is rotated, in the event of a threatening fall, into an erect protection position in fractions of a second by way of a trigger cord or by automatic actuation due to a sensor (23). Said protection position is held at the top by a toothed catch member (7.1, 7.2). Mating toothing on the catch member maintains the protective position even in the event of a change in direction.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine automatische Schutzvorrichtung für den Kopf einer Person, die von dieser am Körper tragbar ist, und die sensorgesteuert aus einer Ruhestellung am Körper in eine den Kopfbereich haubenartig überspannende Schutzstellung aufstellbar ist.The invention relates to an automatic protective device for the head of a Person who can be worn on the body and sensor-controlled from one Rest position on the body in a hood-like spanning the head area Protective position can be set up.

In zahlreichen Bereichen des alltäglichen Lebens, wie Sport, Reiten, Fahren von Zweiradfahrzeugen usw. bzw. bei fallgefährdeten Personen (Epileptiker, kranke bzw. alte Menschen), kann es zu Unfallsituationen mit insbesondere schweren Kopfverletzungen der betreffenden Person kommen. Zur Vermeidung von derartigen Verletzungen sind Schutzvorrichtungen für den Kopf von Personen bekannt geworden.In numerous areas of everyday life, such as sports, riding, driving Two-wheeled vehicles etc. or in the case of people at risk of falling (epileptics, sick or old people), it can lead to accident situations with particularly severe Head injuries of the person concerned come. To avoid Such injuries are protective devices for the heads of people known.

So zeigt die DE 28 25 145 A 1 ein starres, auf die Schultern eines Menschen aufsetzbares, den Kopf nach Art eines Gitterkäfigs haubenartig und berührungsfrei umschließendes Gebilde. Bei einem Unfall schützt das Gebilde den Kopf (Schädel) und durch die Auflagen auf den Schultern wird die Sturzbelastung in die Schultern eingeleitet, so daß die Halswirbelsäule geschützt ist. Die bekannte Schutzvorrichtung ist jedoch, wie ein üblicher Schutzhelm, über dem Kopf feststehend, wodurch sie bei einer körperlichen Betätigung nicht sehr angenehm zu tragen ist. Ferner können durch die Einleitung der Sturzkräfte in den Schulterbereich Schlüsselbeinbrüche auftreten.DE 28 25 145 A1 shows a rigid, on the shoulders of a person attachable, the head like a lattice cage-like and contact-free enclosing structure. In the event of an accident, the structure protects the head (Skull) and the pads on the shoulders reduce the load on the fall Shoulders initiated so that the cervical spine is protected. The well-known Protective device is, however, like a normal hard hat, over the head fixed, which makes them not very pleasant during physical activity is to be worn. Furthermore, the initiation of the fall forces in the Shoulder area clavicle fractures occur.

Durch die FR 20 82 495 ist eine Schutzvorrichtung für den Kopf einer Person bekannt geworden, die aus einem Luftsack in Form einer Kopfhaube besteht, die in der Ruhestellung gefaltet auf dem Rücken der Person liegt und die bei Sturz durch eine sensorgesteuerte Druckluftquelle nach Art eines Airbags automatisch aufgeblasen und dabei in Schutzstellung gebracht wird.
Diese bekannte Schutzvorrichtung vermeidet zwar ein unbequemes ständiges Tragen eines über dem Kopf feststehenden helmartigen Gebildes, es kann jedoch nur den Aufprall des Kopfes auf ein Hindernis dämpfen und kann insbesondere nicht die dabei entstehenden Sturz-Belastungsspitzen auf die Halswirbel und die Schlüsselbeine reduzieren, so daß es zu entsprechenden Verletzungen kommen kann.
From FR 20 82 495 a protective device for the head of a person is known, which consists of an air bag in the form of a hood, which lies folded on the back of the person in the rest position and which in the event of a fall through a sensor-controlled compressed air source in the manner of an airbag automatically inflated and brought into the protective position.
Although this known protective device avoids uncomfortable constant wearing of a helmet-like structure fixed above the head, it can only dampen the impact of the head on an obstacle and, in particular, cannot reduce the resulting fall stress peaks on the cervical vertebrae and collarbones, so that it corresponding injuries can occur.

Die US-A-4 689 151 zeigt eine ähnliche Schutzvorrichtung für den Kopf und den Körper einer unfallgefährdeten Person, die aus einem körpergerecht geschnittenen Luftsack mit Kopfhaube besteht, der in der Ruhestellung als Kleidungsstück wirkt, wobei der Kopfhaubenteil gefaltet auf dem Rücken der Person liegt, und der bei einem drohenden Unfall sensorgesteuert nach Art eines Airbags automatisch aufgeblasen und dabei in Schutzstellung gebracht wird. Dabei muß für verschiedene Anwendungen zusätzlich noch ein Helm getragen werden.US-A-4 689 151 shows a similar head and body protector Body of a person at risk of an accident, made from a body-shaped cut Air bag with a hood is in the rest position as a garment acts, with the hood part folded on the back of the person, and the sensor-controlled like an airbag in the event of an impending accident automatically inflated and brought into the protective position. It must a helmet can also be worn for various applications.

Diese bekannte Schutzvorrichtung kann jedoch nur den Aufprall des Kopfes auf ein Hindernis dämpfen, kann aber insbesondere nicht die dabei entstehenden Sturzbelastungsspitzen auf die Halswirbel und die Schlüsselbeine reduzieren, so daß es zu entsprechenden Verletzungen kommen kann.However, this known protective device can only dampen the impact of the head on an obstacle, but in particular it cannot reduce the resulting fall load peaks on the cervical vertebrae and collarbones, so that corresponding injuries can occur.

Die EP-A-0 150 876 zeigt einen Sturzhelm, der aus mehreren bogenförmigen, an einer gemeinsamen Achse befestigten Teilen besteht, derart, daß der Sturzhelm manuell zusammenfaltbar ist, und in diesem Zustand in nicht unfallgefährdeten Situationen getragen werden kann, sowie daß er beim Einstieg in eine unfallgefährdete Situation, z.B. beim Besteigen eines Pferdes oder eines Motorrades, manuell in einen auseinanderfaltbaren Zustand mit Verriegelung der bogenförmigen Teile bringbar ist. Durch diese manuelle Zusammenfaltbarkeit kann z.B. bei einer Unterbrechung einer Motorradtour der Schutzhelm einfacher mitgetragen werden. Dieses Dokument offenbart jedoch keine sich sensorgesteuert beim Unfall selbsttätig aufstellende Schutzvorrichtung.EP-A-0 150 876 shows a helmet consisting of several arched ones parts attached to a common axis, such that the helmet can be collapsed manually, and in this state in not at risk of accidents Situations can be worn, as well as that when entering a situation at risk of accident, e.g. when mounting a horse or one Motorcycles, manually in an unfoldable condition with locking of the arcuate parts can be brought. This manual collapsibility can e.g. in the event of a motorcycle tour break, the protective helmet is easier be carried along. However, this document does not disclose itself to be sensor controlled protective device that automatically sets up in the event of an accident.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs bezeichnete automatische Schutzvorrichtung so auszubilden, daß sie ebenfalls in Ruhestellung unauffällig am Körper getragen werden kann, jedoch neben dem Kopf auch diesem benachbarte Körperteile schützen kann.The invention has for its object the automatic described above Train protective device so that it is also inconspicuous in the rest position can be worn on the body, but in addition to the head can protect neighboring body parts.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt gemäß der Erfindung dadurch, daß die Schutzvorrichtung eine Vielzahl von Schutzbügeln aufweist, die auf einer Führungsstange, die in einer am Körper der Person zu tragenden Kassette gehaltert ist, schwenkbar gelagert sind, und denen ein Federantrieb, eine sensorgesteuerte Rastverbindung sowie eine Sperrklinken-Anordnung zugeordnet ist, derart, daß in der Ruhestellung die Schutzbügel, in zwei Gruppen ineinander versetzt gestapelt, gegen den Federantrieb vorgespannt und durch die Rastverbindung verriegelt, in der Kassette angeordnet sind, aus der sie beim Entriegeln der Rastverbindung durch den Sensor, mittels des Federantriebes in die Schutzstellung hochklappbar sind, gesichert durch die Sperrklinken-Anordnung gegen eine Bewegung in der Gegenrichtung.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the Protection device has a plurality of protective bars, which on a Guide rod in a cassette to be carried on the person's body is supported, are pivotally mounted, and which a spring drive, a Sensor-controlled locking connection and a pawl arrangement assigned is, such that in the rest position, the protective bar, in two groups one inside the other stacked offset, biased against the spring drive and by the Locked connection locked, arranged in the cassette from which they are Unlocking the locking connection by the sensor, by means of the spring drive in the Protective position can be folded up, secured by the pawl arrangement against movement in the opposite direction.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Pferd mit einem Reiter 2, der eine rucksackähnliche Sicherheitskassette 3 trägt. Diese Sicherheitskassette 3 ist mit Gurt 4,5,6 körperfest fixiert (hierzu auch Fig. 3).Fig. 1 shows a horse with a rider 2 who is a backpack-like Security cassette 3 carries. This safety cassette 3 is 4,5,6 with belt fixed physically (see also Fig. 3).

Diese insgesamt u-förmig gestalteten Schutzbügel 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 sind mit den vorderen Endbereichen in den Verstärkungen 8.1, 8.2 und den Zahnscheiben 7.1, 7.2 an einer in der Kassette 3 befestigten Führungsstange 20 schwenkbar gelagert. Der Schutzbügel II ist mit den Zahnscheiben 7.1, 7,2 fest verbunden (hierzu auch Fig. 7).These overall U-shaped protective bars 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 are with the front end areas in the reinforcements 8.1, 8.2 and Toothed lock washers 7.1, 7.2 on a guide rod 20 fastened in the cassette 3 pivoted. The protective bracket II is fixed with the toothed lock washers 7.1, 7.2 connected (see also Fig. 7).

In einer sichtbar gezeichneten Ruhestellung ist die Schutzvorrichtung etwa parallel zum Rücken abgelegt, wobei die Schutzbügel eingelassen in die Kassette 3 angeordnet sind. Aus dieser abgelegten Ruhestellung ist sie um einen Winkel von ca. 220° nach vorn hochklappbar, wonach sie eine aufgerichtete, den Kopfbereich überspannnende Schutzstellung eingenommen hat, wie Fig. 5 zeigt. Zum Schwenkbetrieb der Schutzvorrichtung zwischen ihrer abgelegten Ruhestellung und ihrer aufgerichteten Schutzstellung sind in Kassette 3 zwei vorgespannte Speicherfedern 40,1, 40,2 positioniert (hierzu auch Fig. 8).In a visually drawn rest position, the protective device is approximately parallel laid down to the back, with the protective brackets embedded in the cassette 3 are arranged. From this stored rest position, it is at an angle of Can be folded up about 220 ° to the front, after which it is erected, the head area spanning protective position has taken, as Fig. 5 shows. To the Swiveling operation of the protective device between its stored rest position and its erected protective position are two biased in cassette 3 Storage springs 40,1, 40,2 positioned (see also Fig. 8).

Zur Auslösung der Schutzvorrichtung ist im unteren Bereich der Kassette ein Magnetschalter 21 angeordnet, der bei drohendem Sturz des Sportlers von einem Sensor 23 angesteuert wird. Durch das Anziehen des verschiebbaren Sperrbolzen 22 im Magnetschalter 21, wird die Verriegelung der Schutzvorrichtung selbstätig aufgehoben, wodurch der Schutzbügel 11 freigegeben wird und unter Federbelastung nach oben schnellt. Diese Sensorik ist auch im Fahrzeugbau mit Überrollbügel schon bekannt. Sie spricht auf Veränderung der Neigung, sowie der Beschleunigung und Verzögerung an.To activate the protective device, a is in the lower area of the cassette Magnetic switch 21 arranged, the impending fall of the athlete from one Sensor 23 is controlled. By tightening the sliding locking pin 22 in the magnetic switch 21, the locking of the protective device is automatic canceled, whereby the protective bracket 11 is released and under Spring load skyrockets. This sensor technology is also used in vehicle construction Roll bar already known. She talks about changing the inclination, as well of acceleration and deceleration.

Wie in Verbindung der Darstellungen Fig. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 und 8 zu erkennen ist, besteht die Kassette aus einer tiefgezogenen, an den Körper angepaßten Formschale 24, die aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein kann. Zur Gewichtsoptimierung kann zwischen der Verstärkung 28 die Formschale 24 ausgeschnitten sein und mit einem Rucksacktuch geschlossen werden.As can be seen in connection with the representations of FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, the cassette consists of a thermoformed, fitted to the body Shaped shell 24, which can be made of plastic. For weight optimization can be cut out between the reinforcement 28, the molded shell 24 and with be closed with a backpack.

In Fig. 4 und 6 ist die Verstärkung 28 zur Aufnahme der Gurte 4, 5, 6 und Magnetschalter 21 zu sehen sowie angedeutet ein Reißverscluß 29 im Rucksackbezug, der als Zugang zu einem Stauraum 44 dient.4 and 6, the reinforcement 28 for receiving the straps 4, 5, 6 and Magnetic switch 21 to see and indicated a zipper 29 in Backpack cover that serves as access to a storage space 44.

Wie in Fig. 8 halbseitig in einem Maßstab von ca. 1:1 gezeigt wird, ist die Verstärkung 28 rechts und links mit den Verstärkungen 8,1 und 8, 2, die zur Aufnahme der oben quer durchgehenden Führungsstange 20 dient, verbunden.As shown in FIG. 8 on one side on a scale of approximately 1: 1, the Reinforcement 28 right and left with reinforcements 8,1 and 8, 2, which for Receiving the above transverse guide rod 20 is connected.

Die Fig. 8 zeigt die drehbar gelagerte Zahnscheibe 7,2 mit Scheibe 30 und Sicherung 31. Ersichtlich ist auch die auf die Führungsstange 20 aufgesteckte Speicherfeder 40.2, die sich in der Mitte an der Verstärkung 33 abstützt und außen am Schutzbügel 11 eingehängt ist. Die Speicherfedern 40.1, 40.2 und die Führungsstange 20 werden vom Stauraum 44 mit einer Abdeckung 48 getrennt.8 shows the rotatably mounted toothed disk 7.2 with disk 30 and Fuse 31. It is also evident that the plugged onto the guide rod 20 Storage spring 40.2, which is supported in the middle on the reinforcement 33 and is attached to the outside of the protective bracket 11. The memory springs 40.1, 40.2 and Guide rod 20 are separated from the storage space 44 with a cover 48.

Da nur der Schutzbügel 11 mit den Zahnscheiben 7,1, 7,2 fest verbunden ist und die restlichen Bügel aus Platzgründen schwenkbar gelagert und versetzt angeordnet sind, werden diese verbunden durch ein Gewebeband 9 nacheinander vom Schutzbügel 11 aus der Kassette gezogen. Wie in Fig 5 ersichtlich, wird zusätzlich ein Gesichtsschutzbügel 10 aus dem Schutzbügel 11 anschlagzwangsgesteuert vor das Gesicht gedreht. Die Feder 32 drückt solange den Gesichtsbügel 10 an Schutzbügel 11 bis die Zwangssteuerung greift.Since only the protective bracket 11 is firmly connected to the toothed discs 7.1, 7.2 and the remaining brackets are swiveled and offset for reasons of space are arranged, they are connected by a fabric tape 9 in succession pulled from the protective bracket 11 out of the cassette. As can be seen in FIG additionally a face guard 10 from the guard 11 force-controlled rotated in front of the face. The spring 32 presses as long the face guard 10 on guard bar 11 until the positive control engages.

Beim Hochschnellen der Schutzbügel und Drehen der Zahnscheiben 7.1, 7.2 um die Führungsstange 20 schwenken die Sperrklinken 34.1, 34.2 geringfügig gegen ihre Federbelastung aus, wodurch die Zahnscheiben 7.1, 7.2 ratschenartig über die Sperrklinken 34.1, 34.2 bewegt werden. Bei Richtungsumkehrung (Unfall oder Belastung) der Schutzbügel wirken die Verzahnungen der Zahnscheiben 7.1, 7.2 augenblicklich als Sperre mit den Klinken 34.1, 34.2. Die Kraftübertragung erfolgt über die Bolzen 47. Die Verstärkungen 45.1, 45.2 sind mit den Verstärkungen 8.1, 8.2 verpunktet und dienen auch als Klinken- und Bolzenaufhahme (hierzu auch Fig. 7).When the guard bar is opened and the toothed lock washers 7.1, 7.2 are turned around the guide rod 20 pivot the pawls 34.1, 34.2 slightly against their spring load, whereby the toothed discs 7.1, 7.2 ratchet-like the pawls 34.1, 34.2 are moved. In the event of a reversal of direction (accident or load) of the protective bracket, the toothing of the toothed lock washers 7.1, 7.2 instantly as a lock with the pawls 34.1, 34.2. The power transmission takes place via the bolts 47. The reinforcements 45.1, 45.2 are with the Reinforcements 8.1, 8.2 spotted and also serve as jack and Bolt holder (see also Fig. 7).

Da der vordere Schutzbügel 11 über die Zahnscheiben 7.1, 7.2 gesperrt ist und die hinteren Schutzbügel 16, 17, 18, 19 gegen einen Anschlag fahren, werden die Schutzbügel 12-19 in bestimmten Abständen vor dem Zurückklappen durch ein Gewebeband 9 gehalten. Der Schutzbügel 19 stützt sich z.B. mit Ausleger 49 gegen die Zahnscheiben 7.1, 7.2 ab.Since the front guard 11 is locked over the toothed discs 7.1, 7.2 and the rear guard 16, 17, 18, 19 drive against a stop, the Protection bars 12-19 at certain intervals before folding back Fabric tape 9 held. The protective bracket 19 is supported e.g. with bracket 49 against the toothed lock washers 7.1, 7.2.

Um ein zu hartes Auflaufen der Schutzbügel 11, 16. 17, 18, 19 in seinen Endlagen zu verhindern, können in den Anschlagsbereichen stoßdämpfende Pufferelemente 35 angeordnet sein, die z.B. aus einem gummielastischen Werkstoff bestehen können.To prevent the protective bars 11, 16, 17, 18, 19 from running too hard in its Preventing end positions can be shock-absorbing in the stop areas Buffer elements 35 may be arranged, e.g. from a rubber elastic Can exist material.

Bei einer möglichen Fehlauslösung können, nach Abnehmen der Kassette 3, durch die beiden Öffnungen in der Formschale 24 und Schaum 50 rechts und links mit dem Finger 36 die Klinken 34.1, 34.2 gegen ihre Federkraft angehoben werden, wie in Fig. 7 deutlich zu erkennen ist.
