Definitions
- the present invention relates to a protection helmet, e.g. for motorcycle use, and in particular to a helmet provided with a ventilation device.
- Protection helmets e.g. for motorcycle use, are known, provided with at least one ventilation opening or inlet located in the cap and adapted to allow air flow inlet and/or circulation in the internal space of the helmet. Ventilation of the internal space of the helmet allows to maintain pleasant temperatures for the motorcyclist's head, in particular for long use, and foster change of air.
- the ventilation opening is generally connected to a series of canalizations made in the padding of the helmet and adapted to uniformly distribute the air flow in the internal space.
- Pat. Appln. EP 0320622 describes a helmet for motorcyclists with a ventilation device alike the preceding one, in which the frame, which houses a slider, is provided with a plurality of longitudinal grooves acting as channels for air transit. External air is therefore conveyed toward a plurality of ventilation openings by the grooves present in the frame, and the frame is shaped so as to create, by Venturi effect, a depression zone in the region of the ventilation openings, which allows to extract air from inside the helmet, fostering air change and circulation.
- motorcycling helmets provided with more complex ventilation devices, allowing finer adjustment of the air flow, are known.
- European Pat. Appln. EP 1462017 describes, e.g., a ventilation device for helmets, comprising a base member onto which a door base member and a side door member are slidably fixed.
- Each member of the ventilation device comprises a plurality of openings and the two door members are slidably mounted, both with respect to the base member and to each other, such that it is possible to obtain numerous and progressive opening configurations of the ventilation device.
- a technical problem at the basis of the present invention is that of providing a protection helmet provided with a ventilation device allowing to overcome said drawback and/or obtain further advantages. Said technical problem is overcome by a protection helmet, whose main features are defined in the first claim, while other features are defined in the remaining claims.
- a solution idea at the basis of the present invention is that, in order to optimise air circulation, it is convenient to univocally correlate a priori the position of the ventilation device with a position and angle of the helmet during use, e.g., in case of a helmet for motorcycle use, during the driving.
- the motorcycling helmet according to the invention comprises a cap, a ventilation opening located in a top portion of the cap and a ventilation device located in the region of the at least one ventilation opening.
- the ventilation device comprises a frame, on which a door member is located, adapted to allow air transit through the at least one ventilation opening.
- the frame is alternatively movable between at least one first ventilation operating position in the region of a front portion of the cap and a second ventilation operating position in the region of a top portion of the cap. In the first and second ventilation operating position the door member is movable with respect to the frame between one closing position and at least one opening position.
- the zones of maximum pressure are in the region of the front portion of the helmet above the visor (therefore, in said driving condition the helmet is upright and the frame is in the first ventilation operating position in the region of a front portion of the helmet), whereas when the motorcyclist has a sport driving position, with the trunk laying forward on the fuel tank in order to reduce the overall drag, the maximum pressure of the flow concentrates in the top portion of the helmet (therefore, in said driving position the helmet is tilted forward, and the frame is in the second ventilation operating position in the region of a top portion of the helmet).
- the helmet according to the present invention thanks to the movement of the frame between the at least one ventilation operating position in the region of the front portion of the helmet and the second ventilation operating position in the region of the top portion it is possible to easily and effectively adapt the helmet both to touristic driving positions, that provide air transit in the front zone of the helmet, and to sport driving positions, that provide air transit in the top zone of the helmet, thereby allowing an extremely flexible use thereof by users, like e.g. motorcyclists, even with very different driving positions.
- Another advantage lies in the fact that a motorcyclist can use a single helmet independently of the best liked driving position and/or the motorcycle owned.
- a further advantage of the helmet according to the invention lies in the possibility for a motorcyclist to simply and quickly adjust the ventilation device in the different positions with a single hand, even when the vehicle is running.
- the two ventilation operating positions of the frame are configured as end-of-stroke positions, thereby allowing the user to have excellent tactile feedback of the frame movement occurred from a position to another one, making the helmet extremely ergonomic and simple to use.
- the door member has well-defined opening and closing positions, that can be characterised, e.g., thanks to snap movements from one position to another one.
- the motorcycle helmet 1 comprises, in a known manner, a cap 2, in which top portion a plurality of ventilation openings 3 are present and a ventilation device 4 located in the region of the openings 3.
- the ventilation device 4 comprises a base member 5 fixed in a known way to the cap 2, e.g. by hooks or rivets, a frame 6 slidably mounted on the base member 5.
- the base member 5 includes a perimetral edge 51 having a shape conjugated to the profile of the frame 6 and acting as guide of the frame 6.
- the frame 6 is slide- or slider-shaped, substantially plate-like, with a central recess (not shown) closed by a door member 7. The latter is mounted on the frame 6 and is adapted to selectively allow air transit through the ventilation openings 3.
- the base member 5 extends in the longitudinal direction of the helmet 1, from a front portion 2a to a top portion 2b of the cap 2, and the frame 6 is slidably movable between at least one first ventilation operating position 5a in the region of the front portion 2a of the helmet and a second ventilation operating position 5b in the region of the top portion 2b.
- the ventilation openings 3 are in an intermediate position between the first ventilation operating position 5a and the second ventilation operating position 5b and are therefore always hidden by the frame 6 and the door member 7. This configuration makes the ventilation device extremely efficient, as it allows air transit control in both of the two ventilation operating positions 5a, 5b.
- first ventilation operating position 5a and the second ventilation operating position 5b are end-of-stroke positions, made at the longitudinal ends of the base member 5 and therefore respectively in the region of the front portion 2a and the top portion 2b of the cap 2.
- first ventilation operating position 5a and the second ventilation operating position 5b will hereinafter be referred to as end-of-stroke positions 5a, 5b.
- the door member 7 is movable with respect to the frame 6 in both of its end-of-stroke positions 5a, 5b, between one closing position, in which it prevents air flow through the ventilation openings 3, and one opening position, in which it allows air flow transit.
- FIGS 1 , 3 and 5 specifically show the helmet 1 with the ventilation device 4 configured for a touristic driving position.
- the motorcyclist keeps the head in a substantially vertical position and the air flow, schematically indicated by arrows A, impinges on the cap 2 of the helmet 1 mainly in the front portion 2a.
- the frame 6 is in the end-of-stroke position 5a in the region of the front portion 2a of the cap 2, i.e. in the point of maximum pressure from the air flow.
- FIGS 2 , 4 and 6 show instead the helmet 1 with the ventilation device 4 configured for a sport driving position.
- the motorcyclist keeps the head in a position tilted to the front portion of the motorcycle, therefore the air flow, in this case as well schematically indicated by arrows A, impinges on the cap 2 of the helmet 1 mainly in the top portion 2b.
- the frame 6 is in the end-of-stroke position 5b in the region of the top portion 2b of the cap 2, thereby allowing to exploit also in this case the zone of maximum incidence of the air flow.
- the door member 7 When the door member 7 lies in the opening position, air enters through the ventilation openings 3 and is then conveyed into a first canalization 8 connected to the openings 3 and made in the padding 9 in a longitudinal direction immediately below the cap 2. Subsequently, air reaches a second canalization 10 made in the direction of the thickness of the padding 9 near the top portion 2b of the cap 2 and communicating with the first canalization 8 and the internal space 11 of the helmet 1.
- the arrangement and configuration of the canalizations 8, 10 are such as to allow air flow inlet, with the frame 6 both in the first and second end-of-stroke positions 5a, 5b.
- the first canalization extends in a longitudinal direction for at least the entire travel of the frame 6 and the second canalization 10 has the shape of a funnel with a wide section adapted to foster air transit toward the internal space of the helmet.
- An advantage of the use of a tilting-type door member 7 lies in that the latter acts as a sort of air deflector and facilitates inlet in the ventilation openings 3.
- the door member 7 preferably has a curved shape, which perfectly joints with the frame 6, forming therewith a single body in the closing position. This aspect is advantageous in that it fosters the movement of the frame 6 between the two end-of stroke positions 5a, 5b moreover providing excellent tactile feedback to the motorcyclist, who usually performs these adjusting manipulations wearing gloves, and therefore under conditions of reduced sensitivity to the touch.
- the door member 7 might be provided with a plurality of shaped projections (not shown) obtained on its external surface and adapted to foster air flow inlet in the ventilation openings 3 and in the canalizations 8, 10 made in the helmet.
- the door member 7 might have more than one opening position in respect to the frame 6, thereby allowing a fine adjustment of air flow inlet.
- the ventilation device 4 of the helmet 1 according to the present invention can advantageously be combined with at least one or plural further ventilation devices, e.g. a ventilation device located in a rear portion 2c of the cap 2, allowing to create plural ventilation paths in the internal space 11 adapted to contribute to the maintaining of temperatures pleasant to the user and prevent the formation of condensate.
