Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety helmet, particularly for motorcycle and/or motor racing, with a device for moving the sun visor.
  • safety helmets are known that are provided with a sun visor which is integrated in the safety helmet proper and can be removably arranged in front of the eyes of the user of the safety helmet according to necessity.
  • the sun visor has the general purpose of protecting the user's eyes and part of the user's face, respectively, from the sun rays and from atmospheric agents or from other factors that can cause harm or simply be a nuisance to the user of the safety helmet.
  • the sun visor is usually accommodated inside the safety helmet in an interspace that is formed for this purpose between the outer cap or shell and the expanded polystyrene that constitutes part of the padding of the safety helmet.
  • the sun visor is usually provided with hinges which are fixed to the outer cap and are such as to allow the rotation of the sun visor with respect to a rotation axis passing substantially through the user's temples from an extracted position from the above mentioned interspace to a retracted position in the interspace.
  • this hingeing is implemented both on the right side and on the left side of the helmet, by means of coupling the outer cap to two side-plates which are associated so that they can rotate with the sun visor.
  • Such conventional helmets are not devoid of drawbacks, among which is the fact that the side-plates described above and, more generally, the mechanisms responsible for the movement of the sun visors, by being fixed to the outer cap by means of the perforation thereof, lead to the introduction of discontinuities in the structure of the outer cap, with consequent reduction of the mechanical strength thereof.
  • a conventional technique is to provide fixing devices that require small holes so as to reduce to the minimum the removal of strong material from the outer cap.
  • This solution which can be suitable for maintaining a structural rigidity that is substantially equal to the structural rigidity of a cap without fixing holes, can considerably alter the dynamic behavior of the cap proper in the event of impact.
  • this phenomenon is commonly known as the "notch effect” and it favors the formation of cracks which over time, for example because of continual deformations during the donning and taking off of the helmet and/or because of the vibrations to which the safety helmet is subjected during its normal use, lead to the breaking of the cap of the safety helmet.
  • Another drawback of conventional helmets consists in that the sun visor can undergo geometric alterations because of the deformations imposed on the outer cap, for example, during the steps of donning the safety helmet.
  • the outer cap since the outer cap is usually made with relatively reduced thicknesses, it can undergo deformations and alterations that lead to a widening of the two lateral ends, with consequent variation of the upper portion where the sun visor is applied.
  • a further drawback with conventional helmets which is linked to the deformability of the sun visor just described, consists in that such deformations and alterations of the sun visor can lead to possible rubbing of the sun visor both against the expanded polystyrene and against the inner part of the outer cap, during the steps of extracting and retracting the sun visor in the interspace formed between the expanded polystyrene and the outer cap.
  • the latter are also typically anchored to the outer cap by means of hinges that require the perforation of the outer cap in order to allow the fitting thereof.
  • EP 2 340 732 which is a document within the sense of Art. 54(3) EPC, discloses a safety helmet with double visors both arranged within a housing defined between the helmet outer body and an inner foam element, and each pivoted to the outer body.
  • US 2011/072548 discloses a protective helmet including an impact cap liner to which a structural mount for a visor is operatively connected.
  • the structural mount may be formed of thermoplastic material of greater structural integrity than the friable foamed material of the impact cap liner, and the structural mount also interconnects the outer shell and the impact cap liner.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a safety helmet, particularly for motorcycle and/or motor racing, with improved device for moving the sun visor, that makes it possible to move the sun visor simply, quickly and effectively without in any way weakening the structural strength of the outer cap of the safety helmet on which the sun visor is used.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a safety helmet that allows the sun visor to be lowered and/or raised without it rubbing against the expanded polystyrene or against the inner part of the cap, because of any deformations thereof during the usual operations of donning and taking off the helmet.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety helmet that offers the widest guarantees of reliability and safety during normal use thereof.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety helmet that can be made at low cost when compared with the necessary costs of making conventional helmets.
  • a safety helmet particularly for motorcycle and/or motor racing, as defined in the appended claims.
  • the safety helmet particularly for motorcycle and/or motor racing, with improved device for moving the sun visor, generally designated with the reference numeral 1, comprises an outer cap 2, generally made of a rigid and strong material, and an inner padding 3 associated internally with the outer cap 2 and wearable over the head of a user.
  • the inner padding 3 is made at least partially of a deformable material like expanded polystyrene, for absorbing the energy developed as a result of the impact of the safety helmet 1 against another body.
  • the inner padding 3 can be defined by a first layer made of expanded polystyrene and by a second layer, not shown, which forms the inner or comfort lining of the safety helmet 1.
  • the safety helmet 1 is a safety helmet for use in motorcycle racing and, in particular, is a safety helmet of the open-face type.
  • a safety helmet of the open-face type is a safety helmet for use in motorcycle racing and, in particular, is a safety helmet of the open-face type.
  • helmets like full-face helmets or modular/flip-up helmets and/or helmets that are designed to be used in other fields than motorcycle and motor racing, while still remaining within the inventive concept of the present invention.
  • interspace 4 formed between the outer cap 2 and the inner padding 3 is at least one interspace 4 that is provided at least at the front with an opening 5 and accommodates a sun visor 6 that can be extracted from the interspace 4 through the opening 5, by means of command elements that are known per se to the person skilled in the art and therefore not described in detail.
  • the sun visor 6, which as shown in Figure 1 has an ergonomically contoured shape adapted to cover all the region of the user's eyes, is associated directly so that it can rotate with the inner padding 3 by way of hinged means 7 associated with the end portions 6a of the sun visor 6 and laterally associated with the inner padding 3 with respect to the opening 5 for moving the sun visor 6 from an extracted position from the interspace 4, in which the sun visor 6 can be arranged in front of the user's face so as to protect his/her eyes and at least part of his/her face from solar radiation, from the action of atmospheric agents or the like, to a retracted position in the interspace 4 and vice versa.
  • the hinged means 7 comprise two side-plates 8 associated with the inner padding 3 at its lateral regions 3a and comprise two elements 9 for supporting the sun visor 6 which are integrally associated with the end portions 6a of the sun visor 6.
  • each supporting element 9 is associated so that it can rotate with the respective side-plate 8 by means of a hinge forming part of the hinged means 7 and provided by a first hinge element 10 associated integrally with the side-plate 8 and a second hinge element 11 associated so that it can rotate with the first hinge element 10 and associated integrally with the respective supporting element 9.
  • each supporting element 9 is substantially L-shaped with the foot 9a of the L fixable to one of the end portions 6a of the sun visor 6 by means of three fixing points 20 and with the stem 9b of the L inserted in a guide 12 formed by the respective second hinge element 11.
  • the stems 9b of each supporting element 9 end substantially in a fork and comprise a central portion 13 that is radially widened in order to accommodate a hinge pivot 14 which is integral with the respective first hinge element 10 and provided, in the proposed embodiment, by a screw.
  • stems 9b of the supporting elements 9 which terminate substantially in a fork, it should be emphasized that they are made of an elastically yielding material for their snap-acting locking with the hinge pivot 14 as a consequence of the insertion of the supporting elements 9 in the guides 12.
  • the ends of the curvilinear slot 18 define the stroke limit points of the slider element 17 and thus of the sun visor 6.
  • the side-plates 8 are advantageously integrally fixed to the inner padding 3 by means of fastening elements 15 which are provided with portions that are undercut and embedded in the inner padding 3.
  • the fastening elements 15 comprise arches 16 which are integral with the side-plates 8, and the inner padding 3 is made by means of a process of co-molding together with the side-plates 8 so as to render them non-separable, either on purpose or by accident, from the inner padding 3.
  • the safety helmet 1 can further be provided, in a manner that is known per se, with a plurality of further elements such as, for example, air intakes, helmet fastening devices, high or low frequency radio communication devices which are not described since they are outside the scope of the inventive concept.
  • the safety helmet particularly for motorcycle and/or motor racing, with improved device for moving the sun visor, according to the present invention, fully achieves the intended aim and objects in that anchoring the mechanism responsible for moving the sun visor to the inner padding by means of a process of co-molding thereof, the inner padding being made of a rigid material which is not subjected to any deformations during the normal use of the safety helmet, brings the consequence that the rotation of the sun visor proper is not influenced by any deformations of the outer cap.
  • the anchoring points of the sun visor are in turn fixed points that are capable of ensuring the same angle of rotation on the left and right sides of the helmet.
  • Another advantage of the safety helmet according to the present invention deriving from the use of an anchoring system like that described, consists in the absence of perforations in the outer cap for affixing the sun visor.
  • any perforations in the outer cap represent discontinuities of the mechanical structure thereof.
  • a further advantage of the safety helmet according to the present invention consists in that it has implementation costs that are substantially lower than those of the known art since, by implementing the described process of co-molding, all the operations to perforate and work on the outer cap for fixing the sun visor are avoided.
  • the safety helmet particularly for motorcycle and/or motor racing, with improved device for moving the sun visor, thus conceived, is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims.
