Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation destiné au maintien d'une lampe d'éclairage amovible sur un casque de protection.The present invention relates to a fastening device for holding a removable lighting lamp on a protective helmet.

L'invention trouve une application particulièrement avantageuse, mais non exclusive, dans le domaine des casques de pompiers.The invention finds a particularly advantageous, but not exclusive, application in the field of fire helmets.

Dans un certain nombre d'applications, il peut être intéressant de solidariser de manière non permanente une lampe amovible sur la surface externe d'un casque de protection. De nombreux utilisateurs de ce type de casques sont, en effet, régulièrement amenés à évoluer dans des milieux peu ou pas du tout éclairés. On pense avant tout ici aux pompiers ou aux militaires, mais également au personnel de chantiers, aux mineurs ou aux spéléologues.In a number of applications, it may be advantageous to non-permanently secure a removable lamp on the outer surface of a protective helmet. Many users of this type of helmet are, in fact, regularly brought to evolve in environments with little or no light. We think first of all here of the firefighters or the military, but also of the construction workers, the miners or the speleologists.

Pour rendre un casque de protection utilisable avec une lampe amovible, il est notamment connu d'utiliser un dispositif de fixation composé d'un élément support et d'un élément d'accrochage. L'élément support est solidarisé sur l'une des parties latérales du casque de protection, tandis que l'élément d'accrochage est constitué par un fourreau susceptible de recevoir la lampe. Afin de conférer son caractère amovible à la lampe, le fourreau est doté d'une partie saillante qui est apte à être engagée et à coulisser dans une rainure de guidage ménagée horizontalement dans l'élément support. L'engagement de cette partie saillante s'effectue horizontalement d'arrière en avant ; le coulissement de l'élément d'accrochage étant simplement bloqué vers l'avant par des moyens formant butée.To make a protective helmet usable with a removable lamp, it is in particular known to use a fastening device consisting of a support member and a fastening element. The support element is secured to one of the lateral parts of the protective helmet, while the fastening element is constituted by a sleeve capable of receiving the lamp. In order to impart its removable character to the lamp, the sheath is provided with a protruding part which is able to be engaged and to slide in a guiding groove arranged horizontally in the support element. The engagement of this protruding part takes place horizontally from back to front; the sliding of the fastening element being simply blocked forward by means forming a stop.

Ce type de dispositif de fixation présente toutefois l'inconvénient de ne pas offrir de retenue en coulissement vers l'arrière, de sorte que l'élément d'accrochage peut être amené très facilement à se désengager de la rainure de guidage, notamment à la suite d'un choc entre la lampe et un obstacle quelconque. Ceci est tout à fait préjudiciable pour le matériel proprement dit, puisque la lampe peut être endommagée lors de sa chute, mais également pour l'utilisateur qui se retrouve alors sans ce moyen d'éclairage personnel.This type of fastening device, however, has the disadvantage of not offering restraint sliding backwards, so that the fastening element can be brought very easily to disengage from the guide groove, in particular to the following a shock between the lamp and any obstacle. This is very detrimental for the equipment itself, since the lamp can be damaged during its fall, but also for the user who finds himself without this means of personal lighting.

Aussi, le problème technique à résoudre, par l'objet de la présente invention, est de proposer un dispositif de fixation destiné à maintenir une lampe amovible sur un casque de protection, le dispositif de fixation comportant un élément support destiné à être solidarisé sur le casque de protection et un élément d'accrochage destiné à être solidaire de la lampe amovible, l'élément d'accrochage étant apte à coulisser dans des moyens de guidage ménagés sur l'élément support, le coulissement de l'élément d'accrochage étant bloqué à une extrémité des moyens de guidage par des premiers moyens de butée, dispositif de fixation qui permettrait d'éviter les problèmes de l'état de la technique en garantissant le maintien de la lampe amovible en cas de choc, même lorsque ledit choc est sensiblement colinéaire à la direction de coulissement de l'élément d'accrochage dans l'élément support.Also, the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a fixing device for holding a removable lamp on a protective helmet, the fixing device comprising a support element intended to be secured to the protective helmet and a fastening element intended to be secured to the removable lamp, the fastening element being slidable in guide means provided on the support element, the sliding of the fastening element being blocked at one end of the guide means by first stop means, fixing device which would avoid the problems of the state of the art by ensuring the maintenance of the removable lamp in case of shock, even when said shock is substantially collinear with the sliding direction of the fastening element in the support element.

La solution au problème technique posé consiste, selon la présente invention, en ce que le dispositif de fixation comporte des seconds moyens de butée aptes à bloquer le coulissement de l'élément d'accrochage à l'autre extrémité des moyens de guidage, et en ce que l'élément d'accrochage est apte à être inséré dans les moyens de guidage suivant une direction d'engagement sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction de coulissement dudit élément d'accrochage dans lesdits moyens de guidage.The solution to the technical problem posed consists, according to the present invention, in that the fixing device comprises second abutment means able to block the sliding of the fastening element at the other end of the guide means, and that the attachment element is adapted to be inserted into the following guiding means a direction of engagement substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of said fastening element in said guide means.

Cela signifie que l'élément d'accrochage est capable de coulisser dans les moyens de guidage entre deux positions extrêmes qui sont délimitées respectivement par les premiers moyens de butée et par les seconds moyens de butée. De manière particulièrement avantageuse, l'élément d'accrochage ne peut donc se désengager lors de son coulissement dans les moyens de guidage, contrairement à son homologue de l'état de la technique.This means that the hooking element is capable of sliding in the guide means between two extreme positions which are delimited respectively by the first stop means and by the second stop means. Particularly advantageously, the fastening element can not disengage during its sliding in the guide means, unlike its counterpart of the prior art.

Comme l'insertion de l'élément d'accrochage dans les moyens de guidage s'effectue suivant une direction d'engagement sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction de coulissement dudit élément d'accrochage dans lesdits moyens de guidage, le retrait de la lampe amovible nécessite un mouvement beaucoup plus complexe que dans l'art antérieur. Ce mouvement se décompose en effet en une première translation suivant la direction de coulissement, combinée à une seconde translation perpendiculaire à la première et dirigée suivant la direction d'insertion.As the insertion of the fastening element in the guide means is effected in a direction of engagement substantially perpendicular to the direction of sliding of said fastening element in said guide means, the removal of the removable lamp requires a much more complex movement than in the prior art. This movement is indeed broken down into a first translation along the sliding direction, combined with a second translation perpendicular to the first and directed along the direction of insertion.

L'invention telle qu'ainsi définie présente donc l'avantage de garantir le maintien de la lampe amovible, même en cas de choc suivant une direction sensiblement colinéaire à la direction de coulissement. Le désengagement de la lampe ne peut s'effectuer qu'avec la volonté de son utilisateur, après une manipulation suffisamment complexe pour empêcher toute désolidarisation accidentelle. Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention constitue ainsi un véritable système de sécurité.The invention as defined thus has the advantage of ensuring the maintenance of the removable lamp, even in case of impact in a direction substantially collinear with the sliding direction. The disengagement of the lamp can only be done with the will of the user, after a sufficiently complex handling to prevent accidental disconnection. The fastening device according to the invention thus constitutes a real security system.

La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.

De même, seuls les éléments essentiels pour la compréhension de l'invention ont été représentés, et ceci sans respect de l'échelle et de manière schématique.For the sake of clarity, the same elements have been designated by identical references. Likewise, only the essential elements for understanding the invention have been represented, and this without regard to the scale and in a schematic manner.

La figure 1 illustre un dispositif de fixation (1) permettant de maintenir une lampe amovible (2) sur un casque de protection (3) de pompier.Figure 1 illustrates a fastening device (1) for holding a removable lamp (2) on a firefighter protective helmet (3).

Dans ce mode particulier de réalisation choisi uniquement à titre d'exemple, le dispositif de fixation (1) est composé d'un élément support (4) solidarisé sur une partie latérale du casque de protection (3), ainsi que d'un élément d'accrochage (5) solidaire de la lampe amovible (2). L'élément d'accrochage (5) est monté coulissant dans des moyens de guidage (10) ménagés horizontalement sur l'élément support (4) ; le coulissement de l'élément d'accrochage (5) étant bloqué vers l'avant par des premiers moyens de butée (20).In this particular embodiment chosen solely by way of example, the fixing device (1) is composed of a support element (4) secured to a lateral part of the protective helmet (3), as well as an element hooking (5) integral with the removable lamp (2). The hooking element (5) is slidably mounted in guide means (10) arranged horizontally on the support element (4); the sliding of the fastening element (5) being blocked forward by first abutment means (20).

Conformément à l'objet de la présente invention, le dispositif de fixation (1) comporte en outre des seconds moyens de butée (30) aptes à bloquer le coulissement vers l'arrière de l'élément d'accrochage (5) dans des moyens de guidage (10). De plus, l'élément d'accrochage (5) est apte à être inséré dans les moyens de guidage (10) à proximité des seconds moyens de butée (30), suivant une direction d'engagement sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction de coulissement dudit élément d'accrochage (5) dans lesdits moyens de guidage (10).According to the object of the present invention, the fixing device (1) further comprises second abutment means (30) capable of blocking the sliding towards the rear of the fastening element (5) in means guide (10). In addition, the hooking element (5) is able to be inserted into the guide means (10) near the second stop means (30), in a direction of engagement substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of said fastening element (5) in said guide means (10).

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur les figures 2 et 3, l'élément d'accrochage (5) fait ici partie intégrante de la structure de la lampe amovible (2). Mais, bien entendu, on pourrait très bien envisager une variante dans laquelle l'élément d'accrochage (5) serait constitué par un fourreau capable de recevoir temporairement le corps de la lampe amovible (2). Quoi qu'il en soit, l'élément d'accrochage (5) comporte une partie saillante (6) à l'extrémité libre (7) de laquelle est ménagé orthogonalement un épaulement (8) formant patin.As can be seen in Figures 2 and 3, the attachment element (5) here is an integral part of the structure of the removable lamp (2). But, of course, one could very well consider a variant in which the fastening element (5) would be constituted by a sheath capable of temporarily receiving the body of the removable lamp (2). In any event, the hooking element (5) has a projection (6) at the free end (7) of which is formed orthogonally a shoulder (8) forming a pad.

Comme le montrent les figures 4 et 5, les moyens de guidage (10) comportent deux rainures parallèles (11a, 11b) ménagées horizontalement dans l'élément support (4), en vis à vis et de part et d'autre de la direction de coulissement de l'élément d'accrochage (5). L'ensemble est agencé de manière à ce que chaque rainure de guidage (11a, 11b) puisse coopérer en coulissement avec au moins une portion de l'épaulement (8) de l'élément de d'accrochage (5), conformément à la figure 6.As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the guide means (10) comprise two parallel grooves (11a, 11b) arranged horizontally in the support member (4), facing each other and on either side of the direction. sliding of the fastening element (5). The assembly is arranged in such a way that each guiding groove (11a, 11b) can slidably cooperate with at least a portion of the shoulder (8) of the fastening element (5), in accordance with the figure 6.

Selon une particularité de l'invention, l'élément d'accrochage (5) est apte à pivoter au moins partiellement dans les moyens de guidage (10), suivant un axe orthogonal à la direction de coulissement. Dans la pratique, l'épaulement (8) présente une forme circulaire capable de coulisser longitudinalement et à pivoter orthogonalement dans les rainures de guidage (11a,11b). Cette conformation, parfaitement visible sur les figures 2 et 3, permet de modifier l'orientation de la lampe (2) par rapport au casque de protection (3) dans un plan vertical.According to a feature of the invention, the hooking element (5) is pivotable at least partially in the guide means (10) along an axis orthogonal to the sliding direction. In practice, the shoulder (8) has a circular shape capable of sliding longitudinally and to rotate orthogonally in the guide grooves (11a, 11b). This conformation, perfectly visible in Figures 2 and 3, to change the orientation of the lamp (2) relative to the protective helmet (3) in a vertical plane.

Il peut être avantageux de pouvoir modifier graduellement l'inclinaison de la lampe (2), mais également de pouvoir bénéficier d'une véritable immobilisation de ladite lampe dans chaque position. Aussi, et selon une autre particularité de l'invention, le dispositif de fixation (1) comporte des moyens d'indexage (40) capables d'immobiliser le pivotement de l'élément d'accrochage (5) dans les moyens de guidage (10), suivant au moins deux inclinaisons prédéterminées par rapport à la direction de coulissement.It may be advantageous to be able to gradually change the inclination of the lamp (2), but also to be able to benefit from a real immobilization of said lamp in each position. Also, and according to another feature of the invention, the fixing device (1) comprises indexing means (40) capable of immobilizing the pivoting of the fastening element (5) in the guiding means ( 10) following at least two predetermined inclinations with respect to the sliding direction.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, les moyens d'indexage (40) comportent un élément saillant (41) et trois bossages (42) respectivement solidaires de l'élément d'accrochage (5) et de l'élément support (4). Conformément à la figure (7), l'élément saillant (41) est apte à coopérer, d'une part, par glissement avec l'extrémité libre (43) de chaque bossage (42), et d'autre part, par blocage partiel avec la base (44) de chaque bossage (42). Le déplacement de l'élément saillant (41) par rapport aux bossages (42) est permis par le jeu existant entre l'élément d'accrochage (5) et l'élément support (4), et éventuellement par une certaine déformation élastique de l'ensemble. Bien entendu, une variante avec au moins un bossage (42) solidaire de l'élément d'accrochage (5) et au moins un élément saillant (41) solidaire de l'élément support (4) serait parfaitement envisageable, mais tout à fait équivalente.In this embodiment, the indexing means (40) comprise a projecting element (41) and three bosses (42) respectively integral with the fastening element (5) and the support element (4). According to Figure (7), the projecting element (41) is able to cooperate, on the one hand, by sliding with the free end (43) of each boss (42), and on the other hand, by blocking partially with the base (44) of each boss (42). The displacement of the projecting element (41) relative to the bosses (42) is allowed by the clearance existing between the fastening element (5) and the support element (4), and possibly by a certain elastic deformation of all. Of course, a variant with at least one boss (42) integral with the fastening element (5) and at least one projecting element (41) integral with the support element (4) would be perfectly conceivable, but quite equivalent.

Conformément aux figures 4 et 5, les premiers moyens de butée (20) et les seconds moyens de butée (30) sont constitués par des parties saillantes respectivement positionnées sur la direction de coulissement à chaque extrémité des moyens de guidage (10). Chaque partie saillante est ainsi apte à coopérer avec l'élément d'accrochage (5), par blocage en translation suivant la direction de coulissement.According to FIGS. 4 and 5, the first abutment means (20) and the second abutment means (30) are constituted by projecting portions respectively positioned on the direction of sliding at each end of the guide means (10). Each projecting part is thus adapted to cooperate with the fastening element (5), by locking in translation in the direction of sliding.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, les premiers moyens de butée (20) et les seconds moyens de butée (30) sont solidaires de l'élément support (4). Ils sont de plus tous deux constitués par au moins une partie saillante de forme sensiblement complémentaire à une portion de l'épaulement (8) ménagé sur l'élément d'accrochage (5). Evidemment, bien d'autres formes remplissant la même fonction pourraient être adoptées.In this embodiment, the first stop means (20) and the second stop means (30) are integral with the support member (4). They are moreover both constituted by at least one projecting portion of substantially complementary shape to a portion of the shoulder (8) provided on the fastening element (5). Of course, many other forms fulfilling the same function could be adopted.
