Definitions

  • the invention refers to an improved cover that can be adapted to any shape of full-face or open-face helmet, made of two pieces of elastic material joined together by a single seam; the front part has an opening corresponding to that of the helmet, and allowing the use of the visor and its flipping up or turning, however the body of the helmet is joined to it.
  • the improved cover has several associated purposes: basically that of decorating the helmet with decorative, advertising, sports, etc. designs, as helmets always have the same appearance, whatever the erosion of their outer surface; the second purpose is to protect the outer surface of the helmet, to avoid wear and tear from dirtiness, scratches, and insects that may alter the material of the helmet's outer layer.
  • the improved cover has been designed with a triple aim: first of all, to fill the void in terms of full-face helmets; secondly, to reduce cover manufacturing costs as much as possible; and lastly, to improve the adaptation of the cover to the particular shape of the helmet, so that when the cover is in place, its appearance simulates that of the helmet itself and does not cover the opening foreseen for the face.
  • a pattern has been designed, formed of two identical pieces joined at the top by a seam, and with a mouth or hole that fits perfectly with the opening or hole in the helmet, and with a hem around its lower edge with an elastic band inside.
  • the cover is not subject to tension in the vertical parts corresponding to the mouth or hole, so that the adaptation of the cover to the opening or mouth of the helmet is perfect.
  • the only difference between the cover for a full-face helmet and an open-face helmet is that the shape of the pattern is different: in the first case the pattern has a hole in the front part, whereas in the second case there is an opening in the front part; according to the different shapes of helmets.
  • the fabric chosen is manufactured based on elastic thread on both sides, both for the warp and the weft, which on one hand allows for the possibility of adapting to different types of full-face helmets, as well as to the different sizes available for each type, to adapt better to the measurements of each wearer's head.
  • An additional feature of the fabric is that it will be washable, which will allow it to be used for a long time, keeping its colors and texture.
  • the fabric described may have any type of decoration, based on known representations or not, which, besides protecting the outer surface of the helmet, also allows it to be washed and for covers to be changed when users have more than one; they may use one while the other is being washed, or choose to give the helmet a different look depending on the decoration of the different covers.
  • the cover (10) is made up of two identical pieces (20) joined by a seam around their perimeter (21) except the lower edge, which has a hem (15) with an elastic band inside (16), as may be seen in figures 1 and 3 .
  • a helmet (11) of the kind called "full-face” is, as represented in figure 1 and 2 , a body made of a single piece and closed in the front, except for a frontal hole (12a), covered inside by an interior cushioning layer (17), the function of which is to provide elastic adjustment between the user's head and the body of the helmet (11), as well as softening the blow in case of an accident.
  • the body of the full-face helmet (11) is totally closed except for the frontal hole (12a), protected by a transparent visor (13) that protects the wearer's eyes and nose, while the mouth and jaw are totally protected by the lower part of the helmet.
  • the visor (13) has a joint and flips around the two attachment points (14) located on the side of the body of the helmet (11).
  • the reason that the cover (10) must have holes in these points (14), according to the holes (24), is so that the visor (13) works and the cover (10) is duly located in operating position, covering (10) all the visible surface of the body of the helmet (10), without interfering in the function and the movement of the visor; for this purpose the perimeter of the opening of the cover (10) will come with a hem (23), with the corresponding elastic band inside (16).
  • the cover (10) for a full-face helmet (11), according to the shape of the aforementioned full-face helmet (11) has a frontal hole (25a). So the hole (12a) of the full-face helmet (11) is covered by the hole (25a) in the cover (10), the aforementioned hem (23) going around it, with the elastic band (16) in the vertical area (26) between lines, see figure 3 , subject to tension, so that the opening (25) of the cover does not cover up the opening (12) of the helmet through excessive pressure of the bands (16) on the hem (23), making the areas converge (26) towards the center of the opening (25), covering it.
  • the open-face helmet is shown (11) with the cover (10) placed on it
  • a profile view of the cover (10) is shown.
  • the placement of the cover (10) on the helmet (11) is the same as that in the case of a full-face helmet, which is to say that the opening (25b) of the cover (10) coincides with the opening (12b) of the open-face helmet (11) and in the vertical sections of the opening (12b) of the helmet (11) the elastic band (16) does not press down, so that the cover (10) does not cover up any part of the opening of the helmet (11), guaranteeing perfect visibility for the wearer.
  • the pieces (20) will be made of elastic fibers that will allow repeated washing without losing flexibility, making it easy to place over the helmet (11), adapting to its shape and respecting its frontal opening (12a) or (12b).
  • the surface of the cover (10) will be decorated with any type of figure and drawing, whether resulting from the texture of the fabric itself, or painted, printed, or using any other conventional or known system.
