Definitions

  • the invention relates to a helmet comprising means for protecting the head of a user and means of comfort.
  • the invention relates to a helmet for the practice of sports, for example skiing, snowboarding, hockey, football, roller skating. It also relates to a heating machine for adapting the helmet to the morphology of a user.
  • a helmet comprises means for protecting the head which protects the skull from shocks that it could undergo when the user falls or when an object is thrown in its direction.
  • the protection means may consist of a shell and a damping cap, the shell may be rigid, for example made by molding / injection of a thermoplastic material such as ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or n ' to be that an outer skin having in itself no rigidity, but acquiring therefore that this skin is linked to the cushioning cap.
  • the skin can be made by forming a sheet of PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) or PC (Polycarbonate).
  • the damping cap is made of an expanded material such as EPS (expanded polystyrene) or polystyrene.
  • the helmet is equipped with means of comfort, which may take the form of an internal cap, for example made of foam covered with fabric.
  • the document US 6,647,556 proposes to adapt the volume by sliding relative to each other of the different portions constituting the helmet.
  • Such a device is difficult to adjust and makes the helmet relatively heavy to wear for the user.
  • the objective of the invention is achieved by providing a helmet comprising means for protecting the head of a user, comfort means placed between the head of the user and said protection means and personalization means arranged between said protection means and said comfort means, said personalization means making it possible to vary the internal volume of the helmet as a function of the morphology of the user.
  • said personalization means consist of a thermoplastic envelope, which is heat-thermoformable.
  • the envelope is made of a polycarbonate, polyurethane or polypropylene polymer material in which an additive is added in order to lower the softening temperature.
  • the proportion of the additive in the material of the envelope is between 30 and 90% of additive, preferably between 50 and 80%.
  • the additive is caprolactone.
  • said envelope is perforated and comprises openings.
  • a free space is provided between said envelope and said head protection means, this free space remaining empty and having a thickness of about 3 mm.
  • the space provided between the means for protecting the head and the envelope is filled by a foam of very low density, preferably less than 20 kg / m 3 .
  • pads coming from the damping cap pass through the free space and come into contact with the envelope.
  • Said means for protecting the head may consist of a shell and a damping cap.
  • the figure 1 described in section a helmet 1 according to the invention. It comprises protection means 4 of the user's head. These consist of a shell 2 and a cap 3 damping.
  • the shell 2 obtained from the shaping of a polycarbonate sheet, is directly integral with the damping cap 3, made of EPS.
  • the fastening of the shell 2 and the cap 3 being made in the expansion mold EPS. This technology is called in-mold technology.
  • the helmet 1 is provided with means of comfort which is also called inner cap 5.
  • the latter is made, in a known manner, using cushion (s) foam that can be associated with tissues.
  • the materials used for the inner cap are generally foams having a density of between 15 and 40 kg / m 3 , preferably between 20 and 30 kg / m 3 .
  • the helmet 1 comprises personalization means, which allow an adaptation of the interior volume of the helmet to the shape of the skull of the user.
  • These personalization means comprise an envelope 6 placed between the protection means 4 and the comfort means 5.
  • the figure 3 represents the helmet envelope of the figure 1 before it is placed there.
  • the envelope takes the general shape of the helmet, that is to say the shape of a skull and it can include two litters 9, one placed at the front, the other at the rear.
  • the bearings 9 serve to fix the envelope 6 on the protection means 4.
  • the envelope is a structure that envelops the entire skull, it is continuous.
  • the thickness of the envelope may include areas in which its thickness is different, thinner or thicker. Thus, there are areas of the envelope more or less sensitive to deformation.
  • the figure 4 represents an envelope according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the envelope is not continuous and comprises a plurality of openings 15.
  • the presence of the openings 15 facilitates the deformation of the envelope so that it conforms to the shape of the user's skull. Thanks to the openings, we also have a lighter helmet, better airing. On the other hand, the openings allow better management of the adaptability of the helmet.
  • the openings 15 may conveniently be placed where the human skull bears least contact with the helmet.
  • the envelope 6 described in figure 4 has a scope 9 all around its periphery for better attachment to the cap.
  • the envelope 6 described in Figures 2 and 3 is made of a thermoplastic compound whose softening point is low, preferably less than 80 ° C.
  • thermoplastic compound used for producing the envelope is a polymeric compound of polycarbonate, polyurethane or polypropylene type to which an additive is added. All these polymers exhibit at room temperature an outfit compatible with their use in a helmet.
  • the softening point is defined as the temperature from which the material is malleable.
  • the temperature of the softening point is a few tens of degrees lower than the transformation temperature.
  • the additive is selected such that it considerably lowers the softening point of the compound.
  • caprolactone or caprolactane Good results have been obtained with an additive known as caprolactone or caprolactane, and especially with a product known under the trade name "CAPA 6500. It is a high molecular weight linear polyester derived from caprolactone monomer. Other caprolactone-based polymers may also be suitable.
  • This additive has a melting temperature in an area of 60 to 80 ° C.
  • the base material in a proportion of between 30 and 90%, preferably between 50 and 80%, it lowers the softening temperature of the base material, in particular of the polymer compound, without significantly altering the mechanical properties of the the envelope, in particular its rigidity, and its aesthetics in the normal conditions of use of the helmet.
  • additives may also be suitable provided that they are miscible with the base material during their injection, they have a low melting temperature, preferably below 100 ° C, and their presence in the base material significantly lowers its softening temperature.
  • the casing is fixed to the protection means 4 by means of fastening means 10 connecting the bearing surfaces 9 around the cap.
  • the fastening means 10 may be of any known type. It can be glue, rivet, staple, etc .
  • the introduction of the envelope in the cap 3 is such that a free space 7 is maintained between the surface of the envelope and the inner surface of the cap 3.
  • the free space 7 allows the envelope to deform so as to locally increase the internal volume of the helmet.
  • a free space 7 is provided between 1 and 5 mm, preferably 3 mm.
  • the free space 7 is left empty.
  • the free space 7 is filled with a low density foam, for example with a density of less than 20 kg / m3. The presence of the low density foam ensures better holding of the envelope while not impeding the deformation during the personalization process of the helmet.
  • FIG. 2 A third embodiment is described in figure 2 . Only a detail view is shown here, the rest being identical to the first embodiment. As can be seen at figure 2 , studs 8 coming from the damping cap 3 pass through the free space 7 and serve as a support zone for the casing 6.
  • the studs are distributed on the inner surface of the cap 3 in the regions where there is little or no notice of shape variation of the skull in the user population.
  • An undescribed variant of this embodiment is to have removable pads 8 which can be moved on demand on the inner surface of the cap 3.
  • the helmet also comprises means of comfort consisting of an inner cap 5 fixed inside the casing 6.
  • the inner cap 5 is removably attached by means of self-gripping strips 16.
  • the method of personalizing the interior volume of the helmet to adapt to the morphology of a user comprises the following steps.
  • the user chooses a helmet at its size, puts it on his head and notes the areas of the inner surface thereof that pose a problem to his comfort. For example, areas where too much pressure is exerted on his skull.
  • the inner cap is removed (where possible), and the helmet is heated to a temperature of between 50 ° C and 80 ° C.
  • the figure 5 represents the step of heating the helmet 1.
  • the helmet is shown from below while the inner cap 5 has been removed. Only the self-gripping strips 16 serving to fix the internal cap are visible.
  • the heating means 17 is produced by a hot air blower device such as that known under the trade mark LEISTER.
  • the heating means may also be selected from other known devices such as electric furnace, infra-red lamp device. The latter offers the advantage of rapid heating.
  • the headform 12 has an outer surface reproducing the shape of a human skull, adjustable elements 13 which allow to modify the shape of said outer surface.
  • Each adjustable element 13 is a block that can be displaced radially by means of adjustment means, for example a screw 14.
  • the headset is used as soon as the user has defined the areas of the inside of the helmet for which he wants an increase in volume.
  • the headset includes the heating means.
  • the user puts the helmet on the headset, which is equipped with heating means which bring the envelope 6 to a temperature close to its point softening.
  • Those adjustable members 13 which are adjusted to protrude from the outer surface of the headform will then exert pressure on the envelope to deform it.
