ENSEMBLE COMPORTANT UN CASQUE ET UNE LUNETTE DE ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A HELMET AND A GLASSES
PROTECTIONPROTECTION
DescriptionDescription
Domaine technique de l'invention.Technical Field of the Invention
La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble formé notamment par un casque et une lunette de protection.The present invention relates to an assembly formed in particular by a helmet and a protective window.
Elle concerne le domaine technique des casques de protection, en particulier ceux utilisés pour la pratique de la moto ou du ski, et équipés de lunettes pour la protection du visage.It concerns the technical field of protective helmets, in particular those used for the practice of the motorcycle or the ski, and equipped with glasses for the protection of the face.
État de la technique.State of the art
Pour la pratique de la moto ou du ski, il est fréquent (voire obligatoire en ce qui concerne la moto) d'utiliser des casques comprenant une coque extérieure pour la protection de la boîte crânienne de l'utilisateur. Cette coque extérieure présente une ouverture faciale dans sa partie avant, correspondant à la face de l'utilisateur. Ces casques comportent habituellement une lunette de protection montée mobile sur la coque extérieure entre une position rabattue vers le bas où elle est positionnée au niveau de l'ouverture faciale et une position escamotée vers le haut où elle libère ladite ouverture faciale.For the practice of the motorcycle or the ski, it is frequent (even obligatory as regards the motorcycle) to use helmets including an outer shell for the protection of the cranial box of the user. This outer shell has a facial opening in its front part, corresponding to the face of the user. These helmets usually comprise a protective window mounted movably on the outer shell between a folded position downward where it is positioned at the face opening and a retracted position upward where it releases said facial opening.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation connue, la lunette se présente sous la forme d'un écran de protection intégré au casque. Chaque bord latéral de l'écran est relié à une liaison pivot ayant un axe de pivotement transversal, ledit axe étant fixe par rapport à la coque extérieure du casque. Pour permettre le pivotement de l'écran entre la position rabattue et la position escamotée, ledit écran doit nécessairement être légèrement écarté de quelques millimètres de la coque extérieure. Si cette configuration ne pose aucun problème lorsque l'écran est en position rabattue, elle génère une prise d'air qui peut être nuisible à grande vitesse lorsque ledit écran est en position escamotée. Un autre inconvénient réside dans le fait qu'il est difficile de changer l'écran de protection lorsqu'il est abîmé, ou en fonction des conditions météorologiques (par exemple utiliser un écran transparent la nuit et/ou en cas de pluie et un écran teinté en cas de forte luminosité). Sur certains modèles, le changement d'écran est possible, mais nécessite un outillage spécifique qui n'est pas toujours à la disposition de l'utilisateur.According to a first known embodiment, the telescope is in the form of a protective screen integrated into the helmet. Each side edge of the screen is connected to a pivot connection having a transverse pivot axis, said axis being fixed relative to the outer shell of the helmet. To allow the pivoting of the screen between the folded position and the retracted position, said screen must necessarily be slightly spaced a few millimeters from the outer shell. If this configuration is not a problem when the screen is in the folded position, it generates an air intake that can be harmful at high speed when said screen is in the retracted position. Another disadvantage is that it is difficult to change the protection screen when it is damaged, or depending on the weather conditions (for example use a transparent screen at night and / or in case of rain and a screen tinted in case of strong light). On some models, the screen change is possible, but requires specific tools that are not always available to the user.
Selon un second mode de réalisation connue, la lunette se présente sous la forme d'un masque monté de manière amovible sur le casque. Le masque est généralement relié à un bandeau élastique disposé de manière amovible autour du casque. Habituellement, la largeur du masque est inférieure à la largeur de l'ouverture faciale de la coque extérieure de sorte qu'en position rabattue, ledit masque prend appui contre le visage de l'utilisateur. Le principal avantage lié à l'utilisation d'un tel masque de protection amovible (en lieu et place d'un écran de protection intégré), est que l'utilisateur peut changer facilement de masque. Il pourra par exemple utiliser des masques ayant des propriétés spécifiques selon qu'il y ait du brouillard, de la pluie, du soleil, etc. De plus, en position escamotée, étant donné que le bandeau élastique exerce une force de traction dirigée vers l'arrière du casque, le masque reste plaqué contre la coque extérieure sans aucune prise d'air nuisible.According to a second known embodiment, the telescope is in the form of a mask removably mounted on the helmet. The mask is generally connected to an elastic band removably disposed around the helmet. Usually, the width of the mask is less than the width of the facial aperture of the outer shell so that in the folded position, said mask bears against the face of the user. The main advantage of using such a removable protective mask (instead of an integrated protection screen), is that the user can easily change the mask. It may for example use masks with specific properties depending on whether there is fog, rain, sun, etc. In addition, in the retracted position, since the elastic headband exerts a pulling force directed towards the rear of the helmet, the mask remains pressed against the outer shell without any harmful air intake.
L'utilisation d'un masque amovible n'est toutefois pas totalement satisfaisante et présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients.The use of a removable mask is however not completely satisfactory and has a number of disadvantages.
Tout d'abord, en position rabattue, le masque vient se plaquer contre le nez et le pourtour des yeux de l'utilisateur. Cet espace clos créé autour du visage favorise l'apparition de buée à l'intérieur du masque, ce qui peut réduire considérablement la visibilité de l'utilisateur.First, in the folded position, the mask is pressed against the nose and around the eyes of the user. This enclosed space created around the face promotes the appearance of fogging inside the mask, which can significantly reduce the visibility of the user.
Egalement, dans le cas où les casques sont utilisés par des enfants, il arrive fréquemment que la largeur du masque soit légèrement supérieure à la largeur de l'ouverture faciale de la coque extérieure, de sorte qu'en position rabattue, le masque prend partiellement appui contre ladite coque extérieure et partiellement appui contre le visage de l'enfant. Dans cette configuration, le maintien en position rabattue du masque est aléatoire et risque de provoquer une gène considérable pour l'enfant.Also, in the case where the helmets are used by children, it frequently happens that the width of the mask is slightly greater than the width of the facial opening of the outer shell, so that in the folded position, the mask takes partially bearing against said outer shell and partially against the child's face. In this configuration, holding down the mask is random and may cause a considerable gene for the child.
Un autre inconvénient réside dans le fait que selon la position du masque sur la coque extérieure, et en particulier lorsqu'il est en position escamotée au- dessus de la zone de plus grand diamètre, il se peut qu'il glisse vers le sommet du casque et bascule vers l'arrière. - A -Another disadvantage lies in the fact that depending on the position of the mask on the outer shell, and in particular when it is in the retracted position above the larger diameter zone, it may slip towards the top of the headphones and tilts backwards. - AT -
Face à cet état des choses, le principal objectif de l'invention est d'améliorer le confort d'un utilisateur qui utilise une lunette de protection du type masque amovible et non du type écran intégré.Faced with this state of affairs, the main objective of the invention is to improve the comfort of a user who uses a protective screen type removable mask and not integrated screen type.
En particulier, l'invention vise à limiter la formation de buée et améliorer le maintien en position rabattue de la lunette, quel que soit le gabarit de l'utilisateur (enfant ou adulte).In particular, the invention aims to limit the formation of fogging and improve the retention in the folded position of the bezel, regardless of the size of the user (child or adult).
Un autre but de l'invention est d'éviter que la lunette ne bascule en arrière lorsqu'en position escamotée, elle est disposée au-dessus de la zone de plus grand diamètre.Another object of the invention is to prevent the telescope tilts back when in the retracted position, it is disposed above the larger diameter zone.
Divulgation de l'invention.Disclosure of the invention.
La solution proposée par l'invention est un ensemble comportant : - un casque comprenant une coque extérieure et présentant une ouverture faciale à l'avant de ladite coque,The solution proposed by the invention is an assembly comprising: a helmet comprising an outer shell and having a face opening in front of said shell,
- une lunette de protection montée mobile sur la coque extérieure entre une position rabattue vers le bas où elle est positionnée au niveau de l'ouverture faciale et une position escamotée vers le haut où elle libère ladite ouverture faciale,a protective window mounted movably on the outer shell between a downwardly folded position where it is positioned at the level of the face opening and an upwardly retracted position where it releases said face opening,
- chaque bord latéral de la lunette étant relié à un lien élastique agencé de manière à exercer une force de traction dirigée vers l'arrière du casque et plaquer ladite lunette contre la coque extérieure.- Each side edge of the bezel being connected to an elastic link arranged to exert a pulling force directed towards the back of the helmet and press said bezel against the outer shell.
Conformément à l'invention, cet ensemble est remarquable en ce que : - la largeur de la lunette est supérieure à la largeur de l'ouverture faciale de sorte qu'en position rabattue ladite lunette prenne appui contre la coque extérieure, Ia liaison entre les bords latéraux de la lunette et les liens élastiques est une liaison pivot d'axe transversal, ladite liaison pivot étant configurée pour se déplacer librement sur la coque extérieure entre la position rabattue et la position escamotée. Le fait que la largeur de la lunette soit supérieure à la largeur de l'ouverture faciale évite que ladite lunette prenne appui contre le visage de l'utilisateur lorsqu'elle est en position rabattue. Il n'y a donc plus d'espace clos formé autour du visage de l'utilisateur, ce qui limite l'apparition de buée. En outre, quel que soit le gabarit de l'utilisateur, la lunette prendra totalement appui contre la coque extérieure, sans aucun porte-à-faux possible.According to the invention, this assembly is remarkable in that: the width of the telescope is greater than the width of the facial opening so that in the folded position said telescope bears against the outer shell, The connection between the side edges of the bezel and the elastic links is a transverse axis pivot connection, said pivot connection being configured to move freely on the outer shell between the folded position and the retracted position. The fact that the width of the telescope is greater than the width of the facial opening prevents said telescope from bearing against the face of the user when in the folded position. There is no longer a closed space formed around the user's face, which limits the appearance of fogging. In addition, whatever the size of the user, the telescope will take full support against the outer shell, without any possible cantilever.
Le fait que les bords latéraux de la lunette soient montés mobiles en rotation par rapport aux liens élastiques implique que ladite lunette reste constamment plaquée contre la coque extérieure lorsqu'elle est en position escamotée, sans risque de basculement en arrière, même lorsqu'elle dépasse la zone de plus grand diamètre.The fact that the lateral edges of the bezel are rotatably mounted relative to the elastic links implies that said bezel is constantly pressed against the outer shell when it is in the retracted position, without the risk of tilting back, even when it exceeds the area of larger diameter.
La lunette s'adapte ainsi à n'importe quel modèle de casque, contrairement aux dispositifs connus de l'art antérieur.The telescope thus adapts to any helmet model, unlike devices known from the prior art.

It is made of rigid material of the plastic type, steel, aluminum, composite material comprising a stack of layers of fibers or any other material suitable for those skilled in the art and to ensure the protection of the cranial box in case of impact. Localized recesses may be provided to provide aeration.
Les parois internes de la coque extérieure 2 sont préférentiellement recouvertes d'un rembourrage du type mousse synthétique ou mousse de polyuréthane, de manière à favoriser l'amortissement des chocs. Une attache à jugulaire est avantageusement prévue pour assurer le maintien en position du casque 1 sur la tête de l'utilisateur.The inner walls of the outer shell 2 are preferably covered with a padding of the synthetic foam or polyurethane foam type, so as to promote shock absorption. A chinstrap fastener is advantageously provided for holding the helmet 1 in position on the head of the user.
La lunette de protection 4 a la forme d'une portion de sphère. Elle est dimensionnée de manière à venir recouvrir une grande partie du visage de l'utilisateur lorsqu'elle est en position rabattue, ou au contraire à ne venir recouvrir que les yeux. La lunette de protection 4 est avantageusement réalisée dans un matériau transparent souple, du type acrylique, polycarbonate ou autre. Elle peut être teintée, traitée anti-UV ou être recouverte d'un revêtement spécifique selon le besoin. Elle peut en outre comporter une armature périphérique bien que cela ne soit pas nécessaire.The protective window 4 has the shape of a sphere portion. It is sized to cover a large part of the user's face when in the folded position, or on the contrary to cover only the eyes. The protective window 4 is advantageously made of a flexible transparent material, of the acrylic, polycarbonate or other type. It can be tinted, treated anti-UV or be covered with a specific coating as needed. It may further include a peripheral frame although this is not necessary.
Conformément à l'invention, et comme représentée sur la figure 5, la largeur Ll de la lunette 4 est supérieure à la largeur Lc de l'ouverture faciale 3, de sorte qu'en position rabattue ladite lunette prenne appui contre la coque extérieure 2 et non contre le visage de l'utilisateur. En pratique, la lunette 4 recouvre d'environ 1 cm à 2 cm les bords de l'ouverture faciale 3. On peut envisager de disposer une lèvre d'étanchéité sur les bordures de la lunette 4 qui sont en contact avec la coque extérieure 2 de manière à limiter les prises d'air et/ou les infiltrations d'eau vers le visage de l'utilisateur.According to the invention, and as shown in FIG. 5, the width L1 of the telescope 4 is greater than the width Lc of the face opening 3, so that in the folded position said bezel bears against the outer shell 2 and not against the face of the user. In practice, the bezel 4 covers about 1 cm to 2 cm the edges of the facial opening 3. It is conceivable to have a sealing lip on the edges of the bezel 4 which are in contact with the outer shell 2 so as to limit the air intakes and / or the infiltration of water towards the user's face.
En se rapportant aux figures annexées, chaque bord latéral de la lunette 4 est relié à un lien élastique 5, 5' agencé de manière à exercer une force de traction dirigée vers l'arrière du casque 1 et plaquer ladite lunette contre la coque extérieure 2, que ladite lunette soit en position rabattue ou en position escamotée. La force de traction exercée par les liens élastiques 5, 5' est schématisée par les flèches sur les figures annexées. En pratique, cette force de traction est avantageusement dirigée vers le bas du casque 1 , en dessous de la zone de plus grand diamètre.Referring to the appended figures, each lateral edge of the bezel 4 is connected to an elastic link 5, 5 'arranged so as to exert a pulling force directed towards the rear of the helmet 1 and to press said bezel against the outer shell 2 , that said bezel is in the folded position or in the retracted position. The tensile force exerted by the elastic links 5, 5 'is shown schematically by the arrows in the appended figures. In practice, this traction force is advantageously directed towards the bottom of the helmet 1, below the zone of larger diameter.
Pour manipuler la lunette 4, il suffit que l'utilisateur la décolle légèrement de la coque extérieure 2 et la positionne à sa guise : soit en position rabattue, soit en position escamotée, soit en position intermédiaire.To manipulate the bezel 4, it suffices that the user takes it slightly off the outer shell 2 and positions it as it wishes: either in the folded position, or in the retracted position, or in the intermediate position.
Le fait que la lunette 4 soit reliée aux liens élastiques 5, 5' et non pas fixée directement sur la coque extérieure 2, confère à ladite lunette une universalité que n'ont pas les dispositifs connus de l'art antérieur (en particulier les écran faciale intégré). En effet, la lunette 4 peut s'adapter à n'importe quel modèle de casque 1.The fact that the telescope 4 is connected to the elastic links 5, 5 'and not fastened directly to the outer shell 2, gives said telescope a universality that do not have the known devices of the prior art (in particular the screens integrated facial). Indeed, the bezel 4 can adapt to any helmet model 1.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1a, 1 b,According to a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1a, 1b,
4a, 4b, 6a et 6b, les bords latéraux de la lunette 4 sont reliés à un unique bandeau élastique 5 disposé autour de la coque extérieure 2 du casque 1. Ce bandeau élastique 5 est monté de manière amovible sur la coque extérieure 2, un organe d'attache 7 étant prévu dans la partie arrière de ladite coque. Cet organe d'attache 7 assure le maintien en position du bandeau élastique 5 sur le casque 1.4a, 4b, 6a and 6b, the lateral edges of the bezel 4 are connected to a single elastic band 5 disposed around the outer shell 2 of the helmet 1. This elastic band 5 is removably mounted on the outer shell 2, an attachment member 7 being provided in the rear portion of said shell. This fastening member 7 ensures that the elastic band 5 is held in position on the helmet 1.
En se rapportant aux figures 6a et 7a, l'organe d'attache 7 peut être une simple sangle de centrage 70 fixée au milieu et en bas de la partie arrière de la coque extérieure 2. Cette sangle de centrage 70 est du type formant une boucle à l'intérieur de laquelle passe le bandeau élastique 5. Pour faciliter la mise en place de ce dernier, la sangle de centrage 70 comporte avantageusement un dispositif de fermeture facilement démontable du type à bouton-pression ou par bande à boucles et à crochets (VELCRO®). Selon une évolution représentée sur les figures 6b et 7b, la sangle de centrage 70 passe à l'intérieur d'une boucle 50 fixée au milieu de la partie arrière du bandeau élastique 5. Cette dernière solution permet de maintenir centré le bandeau 5 sur la coque extérieure 3, ledit bandeau ne pouvant plus glisser à l'intérieur de la sangle de centrage 70.Referring to Figures 6a and 7a, the fastener 7 may be a simple centering strap 70 fixed in the middle and bottom of the rear portion of the outer shell 2. This centering strap 70 is of the type forming a a loop inside which the elastic strip 5 passes. In order to facilitate the positioning of the latter, the centering strap 70 advantageously comprises an easily removable closure device of the snap-button type or by a hook and loop band. (VELCRO®). According to an evolution shown in Figures 6b and 7b, the centering strap 70 passes inside a loop 50 fixed in the middle of the rear portion of the elastic strip 5. The latter solution keeps the center strip 5 on the outer shell 3, said strip can no longer slide inside the centering strap 70.
Selon un second mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 3a et 3b, les liens élastiques 5' ont une première extrémité reliée aux bords latéraux de la lunette 4, la seconde extrémité étant fixée sur les côtés de la coque extérieure 2 du casque 1. Dans ce cas, les liens élastiques 5' ne sont pas montés de manière amovible sur la coque extérieure 2 mais sont fixes.According to a second embodiment shown in Figures 3a and 3b, the elastic links 5 'have a first end connected to the side edges of the bezel 4, the second end being fixed to the sides of the outer shell 2 of the helmet 1. In In this case, the elastic links 5 'are not removably mounted on the outer shell 2 but are fixed.
Préférentiellement, les secondes extrémités des liens élastiques 5' sont reliées à des plots d'attache 8 fixés sur les côtés de la coque extérieure 2, lesdits plots d'attache étant montés mobiles en rotation sur ladite coque selon un axe transversal 80. Cette solution évite que les liens élastiques 5' se déforment entre la position rabattue et la position escamotée. Les plots d'attache 8 sont avantageusement formés par : une première partie 8a fixée sur la coque extérieure 2, en dessous de la zone de plus grand diamètre, et portant un élément en saillie formant l'axe de rotation transversal 80, une seconde partie 8b montée mobile en rotation sur l'axe transversal 80 et sur laquelle est fixée la seconde extrémité des liens élastiques 5'.Preferably, the second ends of the elastic links 5 'are connected to fastening pads 8 fixed on the sides of the outer shell 2, said attachment studs being rotatably mounted on said shell along a transverse axis 80. This solution prevents the elastic links 5 'from deform between the folded position and the retracted position. The fastening studs 8 are advantageously formed by: a first part 8a fixed on the outer shell 2, below the zone of larger diameter, and carrying a projecting element forming the transverse axis of rotation 80, a second part 8b rotatably mounted on the transverse axis 80 and on which is fixed the second end of the elastic links 5 '.
En se rapportant aux figures 3a et 3b, on s'aperçoit que la force de traction exercée par les liens élastiques 5' est constamment dirigée vers les plots d'attache 8, ce qui a pour effet d'éviter le basculement en arrière de la lunette 4 lorsqu'elle dépasse la zone de plus grand diamètre.With reference to FIGS. 3a and 3b, it can be seen that the tensile force exerted by the elastic links 5 'is constantly directed towards the attachment studs 8, which has the effect of preventing the tilting back of the bezel 4 when it exceeds the area of larger diameter.
On peut également prévoir que les secondes extrémités des liens élastiques 5' sont directement fixés sur les côtés de la coque extérieure 2, sans possibilité de pivotement.It is also possible that the second ends of the elastic links 5 'are directly attached to the sides of the outer shell 2, without the possibility of pivoting.
Conformément à l'invention, la liaison entre les bords latéraux de la lunette 4 et les liens élastiques 5, 5' est une liaison pivot 9 d'axe transversal 90, ladite liaison pivot étant configurée pour se déplacer librement sur la coque extérieure 2 entre la position rabattue et la position escamotée. En comparant les figures 1a et 1 b, entre la position rabattue et la position escamotée, la liaison pivot 90 se déplace verticalement d'une distance d1 vers le haut du casque 1 et horizontalement d'une distance d2 vers l'arrière dudit casque. L'invention permet donc de combiner une liaison pivot 9 mobile à un rappel élastique. De cette manière, lorsque la lunette 4 est en position escamotée, les liens élastiques 5, 5' restent dans son prolongement sans se déformer, ce qui à pour effet d'optimiser la traction vers l'arrière de ladite lunette et son plaquage contre la coque extérieure 2 afin d'éviter toute prise d'air. De plus, on limite la composante horizontale de la force de traction qui contribue au basculement vers l'arrière de la lunette 4 lorsqu'elle dépasse la zone de plus grand diamètre.According to the invention, the connection between the lateral edges of the telescope 4 and the elastic links 5, 5 'is a pivot connection 9 of transverse axis 90, said pivot link being configured to move freely on the outer shell 2 between the folded position and the retracted position. By comparing FIGS. 1a and 1b, between the folded position and the retracted position, the pivot link 90 moves vertically by a distance d1 towards the top of the helmet 1 and horizontally by a distance d2 towards the rear of the helmet. The invention thus makes it possible to combine a movable pivot link 9 with an elastic return. In this way, when the bezel 4 is in the retracted position, the elastic links 5, 5 'remain in its extension without deforming, which has the effect of optimizing the rearward traction of said bezel and its plating against the outer shell 2 to prevent any air intake. Moreover, we limit horizontal component of the tensile force that contributes to the tilting back of the bezel 4 when it exceeds the larger diameter area.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention permettant de facilement changer la lunette 4, la liaison pivot 9 entre les bords latéraux de ladite lunette 4 et les liens élastiques 5, 5' est démontable. Par exemple, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite changer sa lunette 4 parce qu'elle est abîmée ou pour en choisir une plus adaptée à la luminosité ambiante, il lui suffit simplement de démonter la liaison pivot 9 et de remplacer ladite lunette par une de meilleure qualité et/ou plus adaptée. Toutefois, on peut prévoir d'employer une liaison pivot 9 non démontable.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention for easily changing the bezel 4, the pivot connection 9 between the side edges of said bezel 4 and the elastic links 5, 5 'is removable. For example, when the user wishes to change its bezel 4 because it is damaged or to choose a more adapted to the ambient brightness, it is enough for him simply to disassemble the pivot connection 9 and to replace said telescope with a better quality and / or more adapted. However, it can be provided to use a pivot link 9 not removable.
Pour simplifier la conception de la liaison pivot 9 et son démontage par l'utilisateur, chaque lien élastique 5, 5' est avantageusement relié à un bord latéral de la lunette 4 par l'intermédiaire d'un bouton-pression démontable formant ladite liaison. On peut toutefois utiliser toute autre liaison pivot démontable convenant à l'homme du métier.To simplify the design of the pivot connection 9 and its disassembly by the user, each elastic link 5, 5 'is advantageously connected to a lateral edge of the bezel 4 by means of a removable press-button forming said connection. However, any other removable pivot link suitable for those skilled in the art can be used.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation représentée sur les figures 1a, 1 b, 3a et 3b, et plus particulièrement sur la figure 2, la première partie 9a du bouton-pression est disposée sur une pièce rapportée 10, fixée sur les bords latéraux de la lunette 4. La seconde partie 9b complémentaire de la première partie 9a est fixée à l'extrémité des liens élastiques 5, 5'. Pour former la liaison pivot, la première partie 9a est configurée pour pivoter à l'intérieur de la seconde partie 9b.According to a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1a, 1b, 3a and 3b, and more particularly in FIG. 2, the first part 9a of the snap-button is disposed on an insert 10, fixed on the lateral edges of the bezel 4. The second portion 9b complementary to the first portion 9a is fixed to the end of the elastic links 5, 5 '. To form the pivot connection, the first portion 9a is configured to pivot within the second portion 9b.
La pièce rapportée 10 est réalisée en plastique, acier, aluminium, dans un matériau composite, etc. Elle est fixée par collage, soudage, rivetage, ou autre, au niveau des bords latéraux de la lunette 4. En pratique, et comme représentée sur les figures 1a, 1 b, 3a et 3b, la pièce rapportée 10 est configurée de manière à décaler la liaison pivot 9 vers l'arrière du casque 1 , ladite liaison dépassant les bords latéraux de la lunette 4.The insert 10 is made of plastic, steel, aluminum, composite material, etc. It is fixed by gluing, welding, riveting, or other, at the side edges of the bezel 4. In practice, and as shown in Figures 1a, 1b, 3a and 3b, the insert 10 is configured to shift the pivot connection 9 towards the back of the helmet 1, said connection protruding from the lateral edges of the telescope 4.
Dans une variante de réalisation représentée sur les figures 4a et 4b, on n'utilise plus la pièce intermédiaire 10, la première partie 9a du bouton-pression étant directement fixée sur les bords latéraux de la lunette 4, la seconde partieIn an alternative embodiment shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the intermediate piece 10 is no longer used, the first part 9a of the snap-fastener being directly attached to the lateral edges of the bezel 4, the second part
9b complémentaire de ladite première partie étant fixée à l'extrémité des liens élastiques 5, 5'.9b complementary to said first portion being attached to the end of the elastic links 5, 5 '.
Pour éviter que la liaison pivot 9 ne se démonte accidentellement, un élément d'attache démontable 11 (représenté en pointillés sur les figures 1a, 1 b et 2) sécurise avantageusement ladite liaison pivot entre les bords latéraux de la lunette 4 et les liens élastiques 5, 5'. En pratique, on préfère utiliser un élément d'attache 11 du type à boucles et à crochets (VELCRO®). En se rapportant à la figure 2, on peut prévoir de fixer la partie à boucle 11a sur la pièce rapportée 10 (ou sur les bords latéraux de la lunette 4) et de fixer la partie à crochet 11 b sur les liens élastiques 5, 5'. Dans ce cas, l'élément d'attache 11 aura un jeu suffisant pour ne pas gêner le pivotement de la lunette 4 par rapport aux liens élastiques 5, 5'. To prevent the pivot connection 9 from being disassembled accidentally, a detachable fastener element 11 (shown in dashed lines in FIGS. 1a, 1b and 2) advantageously secures said pivot connection between the lateral edges of the telescope 4 and the elastic links. 5, 5 '. In practice, it is preferred to use a fastening element 11 of the loop and hook type (VELCRO®). Referring to Figure 2, it is possible to fix the loop portion 11a on the insert 10 (or on the side edges of the bezel 4) and fix the hook portion 11b on the elastic links 5, 5 . In this case, the fastening element 11 will have sufficient clearance not to hinder the pivoting of the bezel 4 relative to the elastic links 5, 5 '.
