Description

La présente invention concerne un casque d'équitation, communément appelé bombe, comprenant une coque généralement rigide et une garniture ayant une face externe qui s'adapte à la coque et une face interne destinée à s'adapter au crâne d'un utilisateur, généralement un cavalier.The present invention relates to a riding helmet, commonly known as a bomb, usually including a shell rigid and a lining having an external face which adapts with the shell and an internal face intended to adapt to the skull of a user, usually a rider.

Les casques de ce type provoquent la transpiration de l'utilisateur, même si la garniture est constituée d'un matériau thermiquement isolant, tel que, par exemple, du polystyrène expansé. Jusqu'à présent, aucune solution satisfaisante n'a été trouvée pour résoudre ce problème.Helmets of this type cause sweating the user, even if the trim consists of a thermally insulating material, such as, for example, expanded polystyrene. So far, no solution satisfactory has been found to resolve this problem.

La présente invention a précisément pour objet un casque qui résout cet inconvénient. Ce but est atteint par le fait que le casque comporte des moyens de circulation d'air entre la garniture et le crâne de l'utilisateur et/ou des moyens de circulation d'air entre la coque et la garniture et que les moyens de circulation comprennent au moins un canal de circulation d'air formé dans la garniture, au moins une entrée d'air formée dans la partie antérieure de la coque et au moins une sortie d'air formée dans la partie postérieure de la coque, l'entrée et la sortie d'air traversant la coque et communiquant avec le canal formé dans la garniture.The present invention specifically relates to a helmet which solves this drawback. This goal is achieved by the fact that the helmet has air circulation means between the trim and the user's skull and / or means of air circulation between the shell and the lining and that the circulation means include at least one air circulation formed in the lining, at least one air inlet formed in the front part of the hull and at least one air outlet formed in the rear part of the hull, the air inlet and outlet passing through the hull and communicating with the channel formed in the lining.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, l'air est renouvelé en permanence et les calories dégagées par le crâne de l'utilisateur et celles dues au rayonnement solaire sont évacuées. On évite ainsi la transpiration.Thanks to these characteristics, the air is constantly renewed and the calories released by the user's skull and those due to solar radiation are evacuated. We avoid thus sweating.

Dans une réalisation préférée, le casque comporte au moins un canal interne formé en creux dans la face interne de la garniture et au moins un canal externe formé en creux dans la face externe de la garniture, l'entrée d'air communiquant avec le canal interne par un trou traversant la partie antérieure de la garniture, et la sortie d'air communiquant avec le canal interne par un trou traversant la partie postérieure de la garniture.In a preferred embodiment, the helmet comprises at least one internal channel formed in hollow in the internal face of the lining and at least one external channel formed hollow in the external face of the gasket, the air inlet communicating with the internal channel through a hole passing through the part front of the gasket, and the air outlet communicating with the internal channel through a hole passing through the part back of the trim.

Avantageusement, le canal interne et le canal externe sont formés symétriquement par rapport à un plan de symétrie de la coque et débouchent dans deux sorties d'air situées à la gauche et à la droite de la partie postérieure de la coque.Advantageously, the internal channel and the external channel are formed symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry of the shell and lead into two air outlets located at the left and right of the rear part of the hull.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le casque comporte une pluralité d'entrées d'air formées dans la partie antérieure de la coque, chaque entrée d'air communiquant directement avec un canal formé en creux dans la face externe de la garniture, un trou traversant étant prévu en regard de chaque entrée d'air pour mettre le canal interne de la garniture en communication avec les entrées d'air.In a preferred embodiment, the helmet has a plurality of air inlets formed in the front part of the hull, each air inlet communicating directly with a hollow channel in the outer face of the gasket, a through hole being provided opposite each air inlet to bring the internal channel of the packing communication with air inlets.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les entrées d'air sont formées dans un bandeau disposé dans une ouverture de la coque. Ce bandeau est, par exemple, réalisé en un alliage d'aluminium et de titane.In a particular embodiment, the air inlets are formed in a strip arranged in an opening of the shell. This strip is, for example, made of an alloy aluminum and titanium.

La calotte est réalisée avantageusement dans un matériau thermoplastique chargé de fibres de verre et la garniture est en polystyrène expansé.The cap is advantageously made of a material thermoplastic loaded with glass fibers and the lining is in expanded polystyrene.

Enfin, la garniture comporte avantageusement une toile aérée dans la région du canal interne ou des canaux internes et un rembourrage, par exemple à base de mousse, dans les autres régions.Finally, the lining advantageously comprises a ventilated fabric in the region of the internal channel or internal channels and a padding, for example foam-based, in others regions.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront encore à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation donné à titre illustratif en référence aux figures annexées.Other features and advantages of this invention will still appear on reading the description which follows from an exemplary embodiment given by way of illustration with reference to the appended figures.

On a représenté sur la Figure 1 une vue générale en perspective d'un casque conforme à la présente invention. Ce casque, désigné par la référence générale 2, comporte une coque 4 rigide, également appelée calotte. Dans l'exemple représenté, la coque est formée dans une matière thermoplastique, telle que du polypropylène, chargée de fibres de verre. Elle est recouverte extérieurement de fuseaux 6 de tissu, généralement de couleur noire. Une visière 8 est fixée à la partie antérieure de la coque. Une jugulaire 10 permet de retenir le casque 2 sur la tête du cavalier.There is shown in Figure 1 a general perspective view a helmet according to the present invention. This helmet, designated by the general reference 2, has a shell 4 rigid, also called cap. In the example shown, the shell is formed in a thermoplastic material, such than polypropylene, loaded with glass fibers. She is externally covered with spindles 6 of fabric, generally black in color. A visor 8 is attached to the part front of the hull. A chin strap 10 allows to retain the helmet 2 on the rider's head.

Plusieurs ouvertures 12 d'entrée d'air sont prévues dans la coque 4. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, les entrées d'air 12 sont au nombre de quatre et elles sont formées dans un bandeau allongé 14, disposé dans une ouverture longitudinale de la partie antérieure de la coque 4. Le bandeau 14 est réalisé en un alliage d'aluminium et de titane. I1 est fixé à la coque 4 par tout moyen approprié, par exemple au moyen de rivets. Toutefois, le bandeau 14 n'est pas indispensable et, dans une autre réalisation, les entrées d'air 12 pourraient être prévues directement dans la coque 4. Several air inlet openings 12 are provided in the shell 4. In the embodiment shown, the there are four air inlets 12 and they are formed in an elongated strip 14, arranged in an opening longitudinal of the front part of the hull 4. The strip 14 is made of an aluminum alloy and titanium. I1 is fixed to the shell 4 by any appropriate means, for example by means of rivets. However, the banner 14 is not essential and, in another embodiment, the 12 air inlets could be provided directly in the shell 4.

A la partie postérieure de la coque 4, on trouve deux sorties d'air 16 équipées chacune d'une grille (voir Figure 2). Les sorties d'air 16 sont disposées symétriquement par rapport à un plan de symétrie P du casque 2 (figures 3, 4 et 5).At the rear part of the shell 4, there are two outlets air 16 each equipped with a grid (see Figure 2). The air outlets 16 are arranged symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry P of the helmet 2 (Figures 3, 4 and 5).

Une garniture, également appelée calotin, est disposée à l'intérieur de la coque 4. Comme on peut le constater sur la Figure 6, qui représente une vue en coupe de la partie antérieure du casque, la garniture 20 présente une épaisseur relativement importante par rapport à celle de la coque. Alors que l'épaisseur de la coque 4 est typiquement de 1 à 2 mm, l'épaisseur de la garniture est comprise entre 10 et 20 mm. La garniture 20 est réalisée dans un matériau tel que du polystyrène expansé. Comme on le remarque sur la Figure 6, un trou traversant 22 est prévu dans la garniture 20 en regard de chacune des entrées d'air 12 de la coque 4. Il y a donc quatre trous 22 traversant la coque 20. Les trous traversants 22 permettent l'admission de l'air qui pénètre par les ouvertures d'entrée 12 vers la face interne de la coque, comme schématisé par les flèches 24.A lining, also called a cap, is arranged at inside the hull 4. As can be seen on the Figure 6, which shows a sectional view of the part front of the helmet, the lining 20 has a thickness relatively large compared to that of the hull. While the thickness of the shell 4 is typically 1 to 2 mm, the thickness of the filling is between 10 and 20 mm. The lining 20 is made of a material such as expanded polystyrene. As seen in Figure 6, a through hole 22 is provided in the facing lining 20 of each of the air inlets 12 of the hull 4. There are therefore four holes 22 passing through the hull 20. The through holes 22 allow the admission of air entering through the inlet openings 12 towards the internal face of the shell, as shown by the arrows 24.

La garniture 20 est représentée en vue de dessus sur la Figure 3 et en vue de dessous sur la Figure 4. Comme on peut le constater sur la Figure 3, des canaux de circulation d'air 26 sont formés en creux dans l'épaisseur de la garniture 20, et sur la face externe de cette dernière. Les canaux 26 sont avantageusement formés symétriquement par rapport au plan de symétrie P de la coque 20. Ils communiquent avec les trous traversants 22 qui sont disposés eux aussi symétriquement par rapport au plan de symétrie P. Les canaux 26 débouchent, à chacune de leurs extrémités respectives, au niveau des sorties d'air 16 situées symétriquement par rapport au plan de symétrie P de la calotte et, par conséquent, du casque 2 (voir Figure 2). En outre, un trou traversant 30 est prévu en regard de chaque sortie d'air 16 de la garniture 20. La fonction de ces trous traversants 30 sera expliquée en référence à la Figure 4. The lining 20 is shown in top view on the Figure 3 and in bottom view on Figure 4. As can be see in Figure 3, air circulation channels 26 are hollowed out in the thickness of the lining 20, and on the external face of the latter. Channels 26 are advantageously formed symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry P of the hull 20. They communicate with the holes through 22 which are also arranged symmetrically by with respect to the plane of symmetry P. The channels 26 open, at each of their respective ends, at the level of air outlets 16 located symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry P of the cap and, consequently, of the helmet 2 (see Figure 2). In addition, a through hole 30 is provided in look of each air outlet 16 of the lining 20. The function of these through holes 30 will be explained in reference to Figure 4.

On a représenté sur la Figure 4 une vue de la face interne de la garniture 20. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, un canal unique 32 est formé dans l'épaisseur de cette garniture. Le canal 32 est constitué, d'une part, d'une zone 32a ayant une forme allongée disposée sur le plan de symétrie P de la garniture 20, symétriquement par rapport à ce plan. Les quatre trous traversants 22 débouchent dans la zone 32a. D'autre part, le canal 32 comporte deux bras 32b symétriques par rapport au plan P et qui communiquent avec les trous de circulation traversants 30 formés en regard des sorties d'air 16 de la coque 4.FIG. 4 shows a view of the internal face of the lining 20. In the embodiment shown, a single channel 32 is formed in the thickness of this lining. Channel 32 consists, on the one hand, of a zone 32a having an elongated shape arranged on the plane of symmetry P of the lining 20, symmetrically with respect to this plane. The four through holes 22 open in the area 32a. On the other hand, the channel 32 has two symmetrical arms 32b with respect to the plane P and which communicate with the holes of through circulation 30 formed opposite the air outlets 16 of hull 4.

La circulation de l'air dans le casque de l'invention représenté s'effectue comme suit. L'air pénètre par les entrées d'air 12 prévues dans la coque 4. Une partie de l'air admis traverse la garniture 20, comme schématisé par les flèches 24 (voir Figure 6), cet air se répartit dans la zone 32a entre la garniture 20 et le crâne du cavalier, comme schématisé par les flèches 34 (voir Figure 4). L'air est évacué par les deux bras symétriques 32b, comme schématisé par les flèches 36, puis traverse la garniture 20 en passant par les trous 30 situés à l'extrémité des bras 32b, comme schématisé par les flèches 38, avant d'être rejeté au dehors, comme schématisé par les flèches 40 (voir Figure 2), par les sorties d'air 16 situées en regard des trous traversants 30 de la garniture 20.Air circulation in the helmet of the invention shown is as follows. Air enters through air inlets 12 provided in the hull 4. Part of the air admitted through the lining 20, as shown schematically by the arrows 24 (see Figure 6), this air is distributed in the area 32a between the lining 20 and the rider's skull, as shown schematically by the arrows 34 (see Figure 4). The air is evacuated by the two symmetrical arms 32b, as shown schematically by the arrows 36, then crosses the lining 20 passing by the holes 30 located at the end of the arms 32b, as shown schematically by the arrows 38, before being thrown out, as shown schematically by the arrows 40 (see Figure 2), by the air outlets 16 located opposite the through holes 30 trim 20.

D'autre part, l'air admis par les entrées d'air 12 se répartit partiellement dans chacun des quatre canaux 26 formés en creux dans la paroi externe de la garniture 20. Les canaux 26 convergent vers une extrémité 44 située en regard des sorties d'air 16 lorsque la garniture 20 est placée à l'intérieur de la coque 4. Ainsi, l'air circule, selon le sens des flèches 46, vers chacune des deux extrémités 44.On the other hand, the air admitted by the air inlets 12 is partially distributes in each of the four channels 26 formed in the hollow in the outer wall of the lining 20. The channels 26 converge towards an end 44 located opposite air outlets 16 when the lining 20 is placed at inside the shell 4. Thus, the air circulates, according to the direction of the arrows 46, towards each of the two ends 44.

On voit ainsi qu'une circulation d'air s'effectue entre la garniture et le crâne du cavalier, ce qui a pour effet d'éliminer sa transpiration. D'autre part, une autre circulation d'air s'effectue entre la coque et la face externe de la garniture 20.It is thus seen that an air circulation takes place between the trim and the rider's skull, which has the effect eliminate perspiration. On the other hand, another circulation of air takes place between the hull and the external face of the trim 20.

Avantageusement, comme on l'a représenté sur la Figure 5, un rembourrage 50, par exemple à base de mousse, est prévu à l'intérieur de la garniture 20. Le rembourrage 50 ne recouvre ni la zone 32a dans laquelle débouchent les trous traversants 22, ni les bras 32b par lesquels l'air de réfrigération est évacué vers les trous traversants 30. Au contraire, une toile aérée, constituée, par exemple, par un filet en PVC, est placée au-dessus de la zone 32a et des canaux 32b. Ainsi, l'air de réfrigération peut traverser le filet 52 et circuler directement au contact du crâne du cavalier. On obtient ainsi une aération très efficace.Advantageously, as shown in Figure 5, a padding 50, for example foam-based, is provided for the interior of the lining 20. The padding 50 does not cover nor zone 32a into which the through holes open 22, nor the arms 32b by which the cooling air is evacuated to the through holes 30. On the contrary, a canvas ventilated, constituted, for example, by a PVC net, is placed above area 32a and channels 32b. So, the cooling air can pass through the net 52 and circulate directly in contact with the rider's skull. We thus obtain very effective ventilation.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite précédemment et s'étend à d'autres variantes.Of course, the invention is not limited to the form of realization described above and extends to other variants.
