  • the communication device of the invention is intended for equip a protective helmet (30) which may be of any type. He will be therefore describes a helmet as a non-limiting example of the type like, for example example, that used by firefighters and including an outer shell main (31) protecting the skull and the neck of the user and 0 having a front facial opening (32) in the area occupied by the face itself of the latter.
  • the shell is made of rigid material and can be of any material suitable such as plastic, steel, aluminum or material composite of the type comprising a stack of fiber layers reinforcement, impregnated and linked together by a resin matrix.
  • Said outer shell consists of a substantially spherical wall (33) comprising a plurality of wall portions, namely, a front portion upper wall (34) extended rearwards by a rear portion upper wall (35), itself extended downwards by a lower rear wall portion (36) and further includes two side wall portions (37).
  • the upper front portion (34) corresponds to the area occupied by the user's forehead and is limited by the upper edge (38) of the facial opening (32) which, in turn, is laterally bounded by two side edges (39).
  • the part upper rear wall (35) corresponds to the area occupied by the user's cranial body, while the lower rear portion of wall (36) corresponds to the area occupied by the user's neck.
  • the wall (33) of the shell is limited downwards by a lower border (40).
  • the lateral wall portions (37) correspond to the areas occupied by the user's ears and are bounded forwards by the corresponding lateral border (39) of the facial opening (32) and down through the front ends of the lower border (40).
  • the outer shell (31) constitutes a cavity comprising, for example, a cap (41) and other elements such as, for example, neck cushions (42) and a cap (43).
  • This the latter is, for example, constituted by a layer of foam which is, for example, glued to the inner face (44) of the shell.
