Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protective helmet comprising a front hull and a hinged rear hull.
  • the articulation of the two shells makes it possible to define an open position and a closed position of the helmet.
  • This helmet will find particularly its application, although this is not limiting, for the realization of helmets for motorcyclists.
  • the helmet corresponds to the criteria of resistance on the head, of comfort and of silence, this one must be provided in its inner low part of flexible cushions largely dimensioned making very difficult its subjection, the wearing of the glasses being prohibited during this operation.
  • the chin strap In addition, in the event of an accident, the chin strap must be sliced and the helmet removed from the head, which is very difficult and may cause increased stress in the spine that may be affected during the accident. .
  • helmets consisting of several parts of hulls articulated by a pivot have been proposed.
  • the helmet described in the patent application FR-A-2-546-381 comprises an articulated front part and a rear part.
  • the front portion has a rigid chinstrap and the rear portion is movable between an open position in which it releases an opening sufficient to allow the front passage of the head of a user and a closed position in which it delimits with the rear edge of said chinstrap a passage just enough for the neck of the user.
  • the opening made by the hinge of the rear hull does not completely dodge the rear hull, and can therefore hinder the introduction of the helmet.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the disadvantages of protective helmet known hitherto.
  • a first advantage of the invention is to make it very easy and comfortable donning and removing the helmet, even for a wearer of glasses.
  • the manipulation is simplified because the mechanism causes a slaving guiding the entirety of the movements.
  • the helmet Given the configuration of the helmet, it is possible to perfectly adapt its internal walls in contact with the head of the user to improve comfort and holding in position. In particular, the part of the head located at the chin is perfectly maintained.
  • the helmet according to the invention also has the advantage, in a preferred embodiment, of making it impossible to use it if it is not locked.
  • the helmet proposed here offers a great speed and simplicity of removal, without the need to move the injured person who can lie on his back.
  • the helmet proposed here has means adapted to perform a quick disassembly.
  • the closing operation allows to tighten the base of the helmet at the neck. By providing a set of cushions flexible and sealed at this level, it limits the air intake and noise.
  • aeration means are further provided, particularly at the junction between the two front and rear hull parts.
  • the present invention relates to a protective helmet comprising a front hull and a rear hinged hinged to be movable between an open position and a closed position.
  • the articulation of the two shells comprises at least one link pivotally mounted between the two shells.
  • the helmet of the invention comprises a front shell 1 and a rear shell 2, able to substantially cover the head of the user.
  • a visor 3 is advantageously provided in the front part.
  • the articulation between the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 comprises at least one rod 6 pivotally mounted on each of the two shells 1, 2, via pivot connections marked 12 and 13.
  • FIG. 2 represents a closed position in which the rear shell 2 is applied to the front shell 1.
  • FIG 6 shows a situation of complete opening of the helmet, where it is clearly seen that the rear shell 2 is largely retracted so as to provide an opening sufficient for the passage of the head. To achieve this position, an intermediate position is represented in figure 4 .
  • the helmet has two side panels 4a, 4b articulated on both sides of the rear shell 2 in particular by a hinge 11a, 11b of the pivot type.
  • the side panels 4a, 4b are able to be applied on the side walls of the front shell 1 on application surfaces 8a, 8b, as is apparent from FIG. figure 3 .
  • the side panels 4a, 4b are spaced from the application surfaces 8a, 8b of the front shell 1, and allow the combined movement of recoil and rotation of the rear shell 2.
  • levers 7a, 7b articulated on the one hand to the side wall of the front shell 1, for example by a pivot connection 9a, 9b, and other part to a lateral pan 4a, 4b at a joint 10a, 10b.
  • the lever 7a, 7b is adapted to be folded over the application surface 8a, 8b in the closed position of the helmet, while opening position it is deployed until tilting towards the back of the helmet gradually on the figures 5 and 8 .
  • the figure 7 shows a purely illustrative example of a possibility of forming the connection between each lever 7a, 7b and the corresponding lateral pan 4a, 4b.
  • two freedom of movement in rotation along perpendicular axes 17, 18 are preserved in order to form the articulation 10a.
  • the articulation 10a here has a double freedom of movement (two rotations).
  • the freedoms of movement are carried out in a distinct manner without this being limited by means of hinge systems.
  • the fixing of the lever 7a on the side panel 4a is further preserved by means of a screw 20.
  • the figure 7 bis illustrates another possible embodiment of the connection between each lever 7a, 7b and the corresponding lateral pan.
  • the articulation 10a, 10b is here formed on a connecting body secured to the side panel 4a, 4b.
  • the mounting of the connecting body on the side panel 4a, 4b is provided by means common to the locking means 5a, 5b which will be described below in more detail.
  • a screw 20 secures both locking means 5a, 5b and connecting bodies 21.
  • locking means 5a, 5b are present on the side walls to removably fasten the front shell 1 and the movable part constituted here of the rear shell assembly 2 and side panels 4a, 4b. More particularly, it will be possible to form the locking means 5a, 5b at the front end of the side panels 4a, 4b, for example in the form of mechanical snap systems.
  • joints between the various parts that have been mentioned above can be realized in different ways and by any common means.
  • the joints can be made mechanically by hinge systems or exploit the elastic properties of the materials used to form the link 6 and the levers 7a, 7b, and the side panels 4a, 4b.
  • greater freedom of movement can be granted than a single pivot connection at the joints, and in particular, the ball joints can be formed.
  • aeration means are present at the junction 16 between the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2, so as to create a communication between the internal volume of the helmet and the ambient air.
  • a system exploiting the Venturi effect is used for aeration.
  • one or more reliefs 14 are formed on the front shell 1, for example according to the case of the figure 1 .
  • depressions 15 are made on the rear shell at the level of said junction 16. A movement of air is thus produced at this level by the application of a vacuum.
  • the rotational movement of the rod 6 about the hinge axis 12 will transform the translation movement towards the rear caused by the levers 7a, 7b into one combined translation and rotation movement towards the top of the assembly thus formed by the rear shell 2 and the side panels 4a, 4b, so as to ensure maximum recovery.
  • the helmet is released from the head forward by tilting it around the chin.
  • the front shell 1, the rear shell 2 and the side walls 4a, 4b have a base adapted to be applied on the periphery of the neck of the user to ensure the maintenance and sealing.
  • the part of the front shell 1 coming back under the chin of the user who here ensures most of the retention effect of the helmet is lined inside a self-forming gel material, allowing all users regardless of the morphology of his chin, to arrange a place to his personal form without the need to intervene to exchange a room.
  • connection between the levers 7a, 7b and the side walls 4a, 4b are designed to be disassembled from the outside, for example by means of screws 20 as shown in FIG. figure 7 .
  • the tilting of the front shell 1 is possible upwardly eliminating any effect of movement and control caused by the levers 7a, 7b in normal use.
  • the front hull 1 rotates freely about the axis 12 and the link 6 continues to produce its effect making it easy to deploy the front shell 1 around the head.
  • the front shell 1 resting on the ground after its opening movement, thus facilitating access to the airways and transport, the helmet naturally remaining on the ground .
