Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a crash helmet with openable chinguard.
- Crash helmets of the so-called full-face type, in which the front part or chinguard is hinged to the helmet bowl and can be opened, have long been used, particularly by motorcyclists.
- Full-face crash helmets with openable chinguard have many advantages in terms of comfort, especially when using the motorcycle or moped in town; accordingly their use is increasingly widespread.
- In order to fully exploit the advantages of the openable chinguard, the opening operation has to be very easy and quick.
- However, only a very small number of the commercially available crash helmets allow easy opening and closure of the chinguard. Furthermore, most of the commercially available crash helmets do not allow to open the chinguard with just one hand.
- EP-0518178 discloses a full-face helmet having a chinguard that can be opened with one hand by acting on a lever with the thumb. This system has however shortcomings: because of the position of the lever it is not possible to grip the chinguard while pulling it forward and this causes the head of the motorcyclist to be pulled forward as well. Furthermore, the lever is outside the chinguard.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a crash helmet with openable chinguard which overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional helmets and particularly allows to open the chinguard more easily, with just one hand.
- An object of the invention is to provide a crash helmet, with openable chinguard, which provides a higher safety.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a crash helmet with a chinguard closure system which is reliable in case of impact.
- This aim, these objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by a crash helmet as claimed in the appended claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages will become apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the invention, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Fig. 1 is a sectional lateral elevation view, taken along a longitudinal plane, of the crash helmet according to the invention, with the chinguard in closed position;
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged partial view, similar to the Fig. 1, of the locking means in the release position;
- Fig. 3 is a sectional side view, taken along a longitudinal plane, of the crash helmet according to the invention, with the chinguard in the open position;
- Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the crash helmet in the closed position;
- Fig. 5 is a rear view of the internal part of the chinguard.
-
- With reference to the above figures, the crash helmet according to the invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, includes a
helmet bowl 3 and achinguard 5 which is pivoted to thebowl 3 on a pivot 7, which is preferably constituted by a screw or the like. Thechinguard 5 can move into at least two positions: an open position, shown in Fig. 3, and a closed position, shown in Fig. 1. In the closed position, the chinguard can be locked to the bowl by a locking means 9, while in the open position the chinguard can be locked with respect to the bowl for example, by an engagement means 11. - The engagement means 11 includes a protruding part, advantageously constituted by a
ball 13 or the like, which is elastically associated with the inner surface of thechinguard 5 and is suitable to engage arecess 15 formed on the outer surface of thebowl 3. Thechinguard 5 can of course assume different positions, with respect to the crown, in addition to the open and closed ones shown in Figs. 3 and 1, respectively. - As mentioned, the
chinguard 5 is locked in the closed position by alocking means 9. The locking means 9 compriseslever members 17, each pivoted to one side of thechinguard 5 and including ahook 19 adapted to engage a coupling means, advantageously constituted by aslot 21 on each side of thebowl 3. The locking means 9 can be actuated by an actuation member 23, which is advantageously constituted by atie rod 25, whoseends levers 17. A grip means, or push button, 31 surrounds the central part of thetie rod 25 and is slidingly associated, in a longitudinal direction, with thechinguard 5 by means ofpins 33 which are rigidly coupled to the chinguard and are inserted in corresponding seats formed in the grip means. The grip means 31 comprises first guidingflaps 35 which can slide in corresponding lateral seats formed in the chinguard. The grip means thus forms a sliding push button inside the chinguard, rather than a lever, and it is very easy for the user to push the button and grip the chinguard with one action, using his/her thumb and index. At the lateral seats, the chinguard is provided with second guidingflaps 37 surrounding theedge 39 of the bowl during closure of the chinguard. - The locking means 9 is normally kept in the locking position by means of elastic members. In particular,
levers 17 are kept in the locking position, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, by means of springs (not shown) which are coaxial to thefixing pivot 41. The grip means is also normally kept in the position for locking thelevers 17, by means of springs which are coaxial to thepins 33. Chinguard 5 comprises an inner fronthorizontal wing 43 adapted to further guide the grip means 31. - The operation of the crash helmet according to the invention is very simple. In the normal closed position (shown in Fig. 1),
hooks 19 oflevers 17 engageslot 21 of the bowl, thus locking the chinguard in that position. - If one wishes to open the chinguard, it is sufficient to grip the lower edge of the chinguard with just one hand, resting the thumb inside the chinguard on the grip means 31, and to press with the thumb on the grip means 31 so as to turn, by virtue of
tie rod 25, levers 17, which disengage from therespective slots 21, as shown in Fig. 2. - At this point, the chinguard is released and the motorcyclist simply has to lift it with the same hand to move it into the chosen open position, for example in the position shown in Fig. 3, which is made stable by virtue of engagement means 11.
- In order to close the chinguard again, it is sufficient to lower it, again with just one hand, to the closure point, where the
hooks 19, overcoming the force of the elastic members and guided by the rounded shape, enter therespective slots 21. - The crash helmet of course has a
conventional visor 45 which is pivoted to thebowl 3 on the pivot 7 and has a per se known operation. - In practice it has been found that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, a crash helmet having been provided which allows the user to open and close the chinguard very easily and with just one hand.
- Contrary to conventional helmets, the grip means is substantially a sliding push button instead of a lever thus making its actuation easier.
- A further advantage of the invention is the possibility to easily lock the chinguard in the open position and thus to also release it when one wishes to close it again.
- A further advantage is the simple construction which helps to make the crash helmet more reliable.
- A further advantage is given by the rounded profile of the grip means, which is shaped complementarily to the inner part of the chinguard so that it does not cause discomfort to the user and at the same time minimizes the longitudinal dimensions of the chinguard.
- Still a further advantage over the prior art is that the entire mechanism, including the grip means or push button, is inside the chinguard thus improving safety, because there are no protruding parts, aerodynamics and the aesthetic appearance of the helmet.
- The helmet according to the invention is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the claims. All the details may be replaced with other technically equivalent elements. The materials used, as well as the dimensions, may of course be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly, such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
