Description

Lunettes pour casque et casque équipé de ces lunettes Helmet glasses and helmet equipped with these glasses
La présente invention est relative à des lunettes à fixer sur un casque et à un casque équipé de telles lunettes. Le domaine technique de l' invention est celui de la fabrication des lunettes.The present invention relates to glasses to be attached to a helmet and to a helmet equipped with such glasses. The technical field of the invention is that of manufacturing glasses.
L' invention s' applique en particulier aux casques de conducteurs ou passagers de véhicules rapides de transport, tels que les casques de motocyclistes. De tels casques comportent généralement une calotte externe rigide, une calotte interne (ou calotin) recouvrant une partie substantielle ou la totalité de la face interne de la calotte externe, ainsi qu' une doublure recouvrant la face interne de la calotte interne ; cette dernière est plus épaisse et moins rigide que la calotte externe, et est généralement moulée en une matière plastique telle que du polystyrène expansé .The invention applies in particular to the helmets of drivers or passengers of fast transport vehicles, such as the helmets of motorcyclists. Such helmets generally comprise a rigid external cap, an internal cap (or cap) covering a substantial part or the whole of the internal face of the external cap, as well as a lining covering the internal face of the internal cap; the latter is thicker and less rigid than the outer cap, and is generally molded from a plastic material such as expanded polystyrene.
Dans ce type de casque, la protection des yeux du porteur du casque contre le vent, la poussière ou les insectes notamment, est généralement assurée par un écran en matière plastique transparente qui est fixé à la calotte externe de façon à pouvoir passer d' une configuration escamoté e à une configuration active ; ce passage est généralement obtenu par rotation de l' écran, grâce à la présence de deux pivots sensiblement diamétralement opposés qui assurent la liaison entre la calotte et l' écran.In this type of helmet, the protection of the eyes of the wearer of the helmet against wind, dust or insects in particular, is generally ensured by a screen made of transparent plastic material which is fixed to the external cap so as to be able to pass from one configuration retracted to an active configuration; this passage is generally obtained by rotation of the screen, thanks to the presence of two substantially diametrically opposite pivots which provide the connection between the cap and the screen.
Ce type d' écran rigide, qui s' escamote contre la face interne ou contre la face externe de la calotte, s' étend, en position active (de protection des yeux), à plusieurs centimètres en avant des yeux du porteur du casque ; dans cette position, le vent et la poussière notamment peuvent s' engouffrer dans l' espace libre séparant l' é cran du visage du porteur ; P é cran ne remplit donc qu' imparfaitement sa fonction de protection oculaire, surtout lorsque le casque est dénué d' une mentonnière reliant les joues de la calotte.This type of rigid screen, which retracts against the internal face or against the external face of the cap, extends, in the active position (eye protection), several centimeters in front of the eyes of the wearer of the helmet; in this position, wind and dust in particular can be engulfed in the free space separating the screen from the wearer's face; The screen therefore only fulfills its function of eye protection imperfectly, especially when the helmet is devoid of a chin strap connecting the cheeks of the cap.
Il a été décrit dans le brevet EP15796 un casque de ski à écran escamotable, dans lequel l' écran présente une é chancrure inférieure destinée à reposer sur le ne∑; du porteur ; l' écran est relié à un arceau articulé à la calotte, par une patte élastique qui sollicite l' é cran vers P intérieur du casque ; P arceau forme un demi-cercle de rayon inférieur à celui de la calotte externe ; il coulisse à P intérieur d' un espace délimité par les parties antérieures (frontales) respectives des calottes externe et interne ; P arceau est prolongé par deux leviers dépassant du bord inférieur de la calotte ; le casque comporte en outre deux rampes de guidage des bords latéraux de P é cran qui sont formé es dans la partie frontale de la calotte interne.It has been described in patent EP15796 a ski helmet with retractable screen, in which the screen has a lower notch intended to rest on the ne∑; of the wearer; the screen is connected to a hoop articulated to the cap, by an elastic tab which urges the screen towards P inside the helmet; P arch forms a semicircle with a radius smaller than that of the outer cap; it slides inside P of a space delimited by the respective front (front) parts of the external and internal caps; P hoop is extended by two levers protruding from the lower edge of the cap; the helmet further comprises two ramps for guiding the lateral edges of the screen which are formed in the front part of the internal cap.
Dans un tel casque, la pré sence d' un espace creux frontal séparant la calotte externe de la calotte interne diminue la capacité d' absorption de chocs par la partie frontale du casque ; par ailleurs, la pré sence de leviers latéraux proéminents sous les joues du casque, qui sont né cessaires pour provoquer le pivotement de P arceau portant P é cran, peut provoquer une gène pour P utilisateur. La patte de liaison élastique de P é cran à P arceau pré sente une capacité limité e d' adaptation aux différentes configurations de visages d' utilisateurs susceptibles d' ê tre rencontré es ; par consé quent cette patte ne peut permettre, dans tous les cas, de plaquer les bords de P é cran autour des yeux du porteur du casque. Etant donné que P adaptation de ce système de support d' é cran à des « petites tê tes » né cessite d' allonger la patte élastique, la longueur de la cavité d' escamotage de P é cran est augmenté e d' autant, au dé triment des performances du casque, en termes de ré sistance aux chocs.In such a helmet, the presence of a front hollow space separating the outer cap from the inner cap decreases the shock absorption capacity by the front part of the helmet; moreover, the presence of prominent lateral levers under the cheeks of the helmet, which are necessary to cause the pivoting of the bar carrying the screen, can cause a gene for the user. The elastic link tab of P screen to P roll presents a limited capacity of adaptation to the different configurations of faces of users likely to be encountered; consequently this tab cannot allow, in all cases, to press the edges of the screen around the eyes of the wearer of the helmet. As the adaptation of this screen support system to "small heads" necessitates lengthening the elastic tab, the length of the retracting cavity of the screen is increased by the same amount, at the start. reduce the performance of the helmet, in terms of impact resistance.
La pré sence des rampes de guidage né cessite de fabriquer un casque spé cialement dimensionné pour un é cran de dimensions donné es, ou inversement de fabriquer un é cran spé cialement conçu pour un modèle et une taille de casque dé terminé s.The presence of guide rails necessitates the manufacture of a helmet specially sized for a screen of given dimensions, or conversely the production of a screen specially designed for a model and a size of helmet defined.
Il a par ailleurs é té dé crit dans le même brevet un casque de mineur, dans lequel P é cran est escamotable de faç on similaire, mais à P extérieur du casque ; P é cran peut glisser sur la face externe de la calotte, guidé par des pions externes fixés sur la calotte ; les leviers sont remplacés par un bouton de manœuvre situé au sommet de P arceau ; ce système n' est pas adapté aux casques de sport - en particulier aux casques de motocyclistes - qui sont soumis à des contraintes aérodynamiques importantes.In addition, a miner's helmet was described in the same patent, in which the screen is retractable in a similar manner, but outside the helmet; Screen can slide on the outer face of the cap, guided by external pins fixed on the cap; the levers are replaced by an operating button located at the top of the hoop; this system is not suitable for sports helmets - in particular motorcycle helmets - which are subject to significant aerodynamic constraints.
Le document FR-A-2717046 dé crit un autre dispositif pour escamoter une visière à P intérieur d' un casque. Un objectif de P invention est de proposer des lunettes escamotables pour casques, et des casques à lunettes, qui soient améliorés.Document FR-A-2717046 describes another device for retracting a visor inside P of a helmet. An objective of the invention is to propose retractable glasses for helmets, and glasses helmets, which are improved.

Grâ ce à P invention, le support de lunettes essentiellement constitué par les deux branches (gauche et droite) pivotantes est compact et peut facilement être conçu pour présenter, avec les lunettes qu' il supporte, un coefficient de traî née aérodynamique faible ; ainsi, ce support est de préférence conçu pour glisser (lors de son pivotement) sur la face externe de la calotte externe du casque.Thanks to the invention, the spectacle support essentially constituted by the two pivoting arms (left and right) is compact and can easily be designed to have, with the spectacles that it supports, a low aerodynamic drag coefficient; thus, this support is preferably designed to slide (during its pivoting) on the external face of the external cap of the helmet.
En outre les forces de rappel des lunettes vers le visage du porteur, qui sont réparties et/ou appliquées de chaque côté des lunettes, favorisent la mise en contact intime des lunettes avec les portions du visage entourant les yeux du porteur du casque.In addition, the restoring forces of the glasses towards the face of the wearer, which are distributed and / or applied on each side of the glasses, favor the intimate contact of the glasses with the portions of the face surrounding the eyes of the wearer of the helmet.
Afin d' assurer une amplitude importante de dé formation élastiqueIn order to ensure a large amplitude of elastic deformation
(réversible) des branches du dispositif, chacun des moyens de rappel présente une capacité de déformation élastique sur une amplitude (ou course) importante (en particulier sur une amplitude au moins égale à 10 mm); en particulier, chaque moyen de rappel comporte de préférence un ressort métallique hélicoï dal. De pré férence encore chacune des branches est télescopique, c'est-à- dire comporte deux portions de branche pouvant coulisser en restant imbriqué es P une dans P autre, par exemple P une autour de P autre, lesquelles portions sont reliées et rappelées P une vers P autre par ledit ressort ou moyen de rappel.(reversible) of the branches of the device, each of the return means has an elastic deformation capacity over a large amplitude (or stroke) (in particular over an amplitude at least equal to 10 mm); in particular, each return means preferably comprises a helical metal spring. Preferably also each of the branches is telescopic, that is to say comprises two portions of branch which can slide while remaining nested P one in P other, for example P one around P other, which portions are connected and recalled P one towards P another by said spring or return means.
Selon un autre aspect de P invention, il est proposé un dispositif de fixation de lunettes à un casque par deux branches monté es pivotantes par rapport au casque et relié es à P écran (ou aux é crans) oculaire(s) par une liaison deformable, dans lequel chaque branche comporte des moyens de mise en appui pour plaquer (et/ou appliquer) une partie de la branche adjacente à P é cran (ou aux é crans) oculaire(s), contre une partie de la tranche d' une joue de la calotte (et/ou du casque) ; ces moyens facilitent P application des lunettes contre le visage du porteur.According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a device for attaching spectacles to a helmet by two arms mounted pivotally with respect to the helmet and connected to the ocular screen (or screens) by a deformable link. , in which each branch comprises support means for pressing (and / or applying) a part of the branch adjacent to the ocular screen (or screens), against a part of the edge of a plays the cap (and / or helmet); these means facilitate the application of glasses against the wearer's face.
A cet effet, en outre, chacune de ces portions de branche est de préférence reliée au bord latéral d' écran par une liaison deformable, en particulier par une articulation comportant un pivot, une charnière ou une rotule.To this end, in addition, each of these branch portions is preferably connected to the lateral edge of the screen by a deformable connection, in particular by an articulation comprising a pivot, a hinge or a ball joint.
Selon un mode pré féré de réalisation, ces moyens de mise en appui coopèrent avec les moyens de rappel ; à cet effet chacune des branches comporte de pré férence une première articulation reliant ladite partie télescopique de la branche (qui est équipée d' un pivot de fixation à la calotte) à ladite portion de branche adjacente à P écran; de pré férence encore, chaque branche comporte :According to a preferred embodiment, these support means cooperate with the return means; for this purpose each of the branches preferably comprises a first articulation connecting said telescopic part of the branch (which is equipped with a pivot for fixing to the cap) to said portion of branch adjacent to the screen; preferably again, each branch includes:
