Description
- The present invention relates to personal protection devices; more precisely, it relates to a structure of personal protection shield, in particular riot shields used by the police.
- As well known, a variety exists of types of shields used by the police as riot shields.
- A first type of protection shield has rectangular shape and has a size such that it can protect the body trunk and a part of the legs of the individual who uses it.
- Another type of protection shield has, instead, substantially circular shape and has a size such that it covers only the trunk of the individual who uses it. This type of shield is much lighter and handy of the former. The choice among the first and the second kind of shields is carried out according to the type of use of the shield.
- Both types of shield as above outlined provide a support portion that faces the user and at which the user grasps the shield and blocks it, for example, by a cord, or by a belt to a forearm.
- Usually at the support portion a support is present for the forearm of the user, that has an anatomical shape and is made for example of a foam foam material, to ensure a maximum stability and increase of the comfort of the person that uses the shield.
- Versions of protection shields also exist having a double handgrip to allow the use both by left-handed and of right-handed persons.
- A further exemplary embodiment provides that the support portion can rotate with respect to the protection portion. In particular, the support portion has a handgrip at which a user grasps the shield. The protection portion has a first surface oriented towards the user and a second surface opposite to the first surface and is rotatable with respect to the support portion. This way it is avoided that the shield can be gripped by an aggressor a torque applied to the arm of the user and pull the shield, or hurt the user.
- More in detail, the support portion has a circular portion that engages with a guide, which is circular as well and is made on the second surface of the protection portion, i.e. on the face oriented towards an aggressor. The circular guide is, in particular constrained to the protection portion through a plurality of metal rivets that are arranged radially.
- However, this type of rotatable shield has some drawbacks.
- Firstly, the mechanism that allows the rotation of the protection portion with respect to the support portion is not very precise and therefore it cannot completely be avoided that an aggressor can gripp the shield and apply a torque to the arm of the user.
- In particular, the metal rivets increase remarkably the overall weight of the shield.
- Furthermore, in this type of shield the view of the user is partially blocked by the presence of the guide connected by the metal rivets.
- In addition, between the various components of the shield slits are provided, in which, during the use, of various type can penetrate material, in particular liquid, which are thrown against the shield. This can affect the correct operation of the mechanism of rotation of the support portion with respect to the protection portion and cause damages to the shield.
- A shield of this type is described, for example in
DE7004097U that has a protection portion with circular shape provided with a support circular portion on the face oriented towards the user. The latter is peripherally guided by an open guide with circular shape protruding inside from the protection portion. Furthermore, in the support portion a protruding circular central portion is present that engages with a center housing that protrudes inside from the protection portion. In this shield the sliding friction in the open guide where the support portion peripherally engages tends to increase quickly owing to dirt, powder or material thrown during the riots. Therefore, the protection portion and the support portion after a short time do not rotate any longer or rotate with difficulty, frustrating the function of relative rotation between protection portion and the support portion. - A similar solution, and with further drawbacks, is described in
DE3709035A1 , which is referred exclusively to a rectangular shield, with the object to let the handgrip of the support portion to rotate in order to be used by both left-handed and right-handed people. - It is therefore a feature of the present invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield adapted to overcome the difficulties of similar devices of the prior art.
- It is another feature of the invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield that is used both for right-handed and left-handed people without changing the support for the handgrip or without using bulky double handles.
- It is also a feature of the invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield provided with a mechanism of rotation that does not jam owing to powder, debris or material thrown during riots.
- It is a further feature of the invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield provided with a precise mechanism of rotation.
- It is a further feature of the invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield that is light and handy.
- It is a further feature of the invention to provide a shield structure with circular shape and rotatable, wherein a protection portion of the shield can rotate with respect to a support portion that is adapted to be gripped by a user, so that an aggressor cannot block this rotation.
- It is a particular feature of the invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield that can be easily unfastened to assist the maintenance in particular in case of requiring of cleaning the different components that the constituiscono.
- It is also particular feature of the invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield that has a support portion that can be used both for rectangular protection portions, adapted to provide riot containing barriers, and for circular protection portions, adapted to hand-to-hand defence.
- It is still a feature of the invention to provide a structure of personal protection shield for increasing the view of the user with respect to the shields of the prior art.
- These and other features are accomplished with one exemplary structure of personal protection shield, according to the invention, comprising:
- a protection portion having a first surface that, in use, faces a user who wears the shield and a second surface with function of shield opposite to the first surface;
- a support portion at which the user grasps the shield, said support portion comprised of a first surface oriented towards said first surface of said protection portion and of a second surface oriented towards said user,
- In particular, said guide means forms a circular groove in which said edge of said central hole of the support portion slidingly engages.
- In particular, the connection device can comprise a central body protruding centrally at the protection portion from the side of the first surface, and a plate adapted to be connected to the central body, such that said groove in which engages the edge of said central hole engages is formed between said plate and said central body. More precisely, the central body has a central protrusion that passes through the central hole of the support portion, and the plate can be fastened to the central protrusion without avoiding the rotation of the circular edge in the groove. Alternatively, between the central body and the plate a spacer is provided.
- Advantageously, on the second surface of the support portion a handgrip is provided at which the user grasps the support portion.
- In particular, on the second surface of the support portion a support can be provided for the forearm of a user.

- Advantageously between said support portion and said protection portion a wall is provided which surrounds said connection device in such a way that debris is prevented from migrating towards said guide means through the space existing between said support portion and said protection portion.
- In particular, said wall extends from said first surface of said support portion, and slides on the first surface of said protection portion. Alternatively, said wall extends from said first surface of said protection portion and slides on the first surface of said support portion. This way, in particular in case of rotatable circular shields, the second surface of said protection portion is continue, and the shield does not present portions of the movable surface from the side opposite to the user and that normally is attacked in case of riots, or other situations of hand-to-hand fight with possible aggressors. In this case, an aggressor cannot avoid the rotation of the protection portion with respect to the support portion, as it can occur with the prior art devices.

- Preferably, the first surface of the protection portion has a first abutment member adapted to stop the rotation of the support portion with respect to the protection portion at a first rotation direction to achieve a first abutment position in order to provide a first configuration of operation, in particular for right-handed people, and a second abutment member adapted to stop the rotation of the support portion with respect to the protection portion in a second rotation direction, opposite to the first rotation direction, to achieve a second abutment position in order to provide a second configuration of operation, in particular for left-handed people. This way, in case of shield structure of rectangular shape, it is that can be used both for right-handed people that for left-handed people.
- Advantageously, the first abutment member has an abutment surface belonging to a plane a having an inclination of -45° in a axial plane with respect to the protection portion, whereas the second abutment member has an abutment surface belonging to a plane β having an inclination of +45° with respect to the axial plane.
- In particular, the plane a and the plane β are substantially orthogonal.
- Advantageously, each abutment member has, furthermore, a second abutment surface at an angle at 90° with respect to the first abutment surface.
- This way, in case of rectangular shields, these can be used both by right-handed people and by left-handed people, without changing the support for the handgrip, avoiding the use of bulky double handles, and without that an aggressor can destabilize the grip of the user. In particular, since the connection device is arranged between the first surface of the protection portion and the first surface of the support portion provides easily abutment surfaces for configuration right-handed, or left-handed.
- Advantageously, the first surface of the protection portion has a portion that is bent downwards having at least in circular part shape in which said support portion is arranged with possibility of rotation with respect to it. In this case, the abutment surfaces are protruding in said recessed portion.
