Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motorcyclist helmet.
  • prior helmets for use in driving motorcycles of small and average HP power conventionally comprise a helmet cap for protecting the motorcyclist or user head and a visor projecting on the front of the helmet cap and specifically designed for protecting the user eyes from atmospheric agents.
  • the above mentioned prior helmets conventionally comprise an inner construction, made of a foamed polystyrene material, operating for supporting the helmet outer cap, and constituting the main operating element of the helmet.
  • foamed polystyrene exposed portions are in turn subjected to a possible attach of the atmospheric agents or other outer agents, thereby spoiling the operating properties of the foamed polystyrene material.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a motorcyclist helmet which comprises a protecting element for protecting the foamed polystyrene of the helmet inner construction.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a motorcyclist helmet having an inner construction so designed that comfort element can be easily applied thereto to improve the use comfort for the helmet user.
  • a motorcyclist helmet comprising an inner construction coupled to an outer cap, characterized in that said helmet further comprises a protective contoured element for protecting said inner construction thereof.
  • the mentioned contoured or shaped element is provided with a thin section adhering to the inner surface of the helmet inner construction as well as an upturned portion arranged at the helmet front and perimetrical regions.
  • a removable comfort element can be coupled, said removable comfort element being applied to the protecting contoured element by reversible coupling elements which are provided both on said contoured element and on said comfort element.
  • the contoured protecting element is provided, at the front portion thereof, with a plurality of slots adapted to provide corresponding inlet ports for helmet ventilating channels.
  • said contoured element is made of a thermoplastic material.
  • the above disclosed motorcyclist helmet according to the present invention has, accordingly, at first, the very important advantage of allowing a very good protection of the foamed polystyrene material pertaining to the inner construction of said helmet, thereby protecting said polystyrene material, in particular, against atmospheric agents.
  • thermoplastic material contoured element masks the foamed material from the view.
  • said contoured element may also operate as an additional element or fitting for said helmet, specifically adapted to improve the impact absorption properties of said helmet.
  • said contoured or shaped element can also operate as a support element for properly supporting said comfort elements to be applied to the helmet.
  • the subject motorcyclist helmet is substantially constituted by an outer cap 8 and a contoured or shaped inner construction 2, which latter is made of a foamed polystyrene material.
  • a contoured protecting element 2 according to the invention is applied, said contoured element being moreover provided with an upturned portion 7 arranged at the front and perimetrical region of said helmet 1.
  • said contoured element 2 is preferably made of a thermoplastic material and is formed, as clearly shown in figure 3, as a thin cross-section film, mating the foamed polystyrene inner construction 3.
  • comfort element 4 Inside said contoured element 2 a removable comfort element 4 is applied, which comfort element can be designed with any desired configuration.
  • said comfort element 4 can comprise padded fabric portions, coupled to one another according to a complex geometry and connected to net-like elements.
  • the contoured element 2 in order to removably connect said comfort element 4, it is possible to exploit the provision of the contoured element 2 according to the invention, as a supporting element for supporting connecting mechanical elements such as non woven fabric portions 6, of a reversible coupling type, or other connecting systems such as snap buttons and the like.
  • said comfort element 4 is applied to said contoured element 2 by reversible coupling elements 6, provided on said contoured element 2, with corresponding reversible connecting elements 5 provided on the comfort element 4.
  • the contoured element 2 is provided, at the top front portion thereof, with a plurality of slots specifically designed to form inlet ports for corresponding helmet ventilating channels, said ventilating channels, together with the function thereof, being broadly disclosed in a prior patent application in the name of the same Applicant.
  • the outer surface of the inner construction 3 is so designed as to provide a plurality of ventilating channels, therethrough the air flow generated as the motorcycle is driven is adapted to pass, said channels being thus defined by the connection of the inner construction 3 and outer cap 8 of the helmet 1.
  • Each said ventilating channel is provided with an air flow inlet port, arranged at the front thereof and at a lower position with respect to the helmet 1 visor 9.
  • the air flow inlet ports are made by suitably straining or deforming the front portion of said foamed polystyrene inner construction, to which corresponding deformations of the thermoplastic material contoured element 2 would be associated.
  • the contoured element 2 will properly protect the foamed polystyrene inner construction 3, while masking it from the view.
  • said contoured element 2 can also operate as an additional element or fitting improving the impact absorption properties of the helmet 1.
  • said contoured element 2 can also operated as a support element for supporting the mentioned comfort elements to be applied to the helmet 1.
