Definitions

  • the invention relates to a visor and a helmet provided with such a visor.
  • the invention finds for application the field of protective helmets for both professional use and sporting use.
  • a particularly advantageous but non-limiting application concerns helmets for sports gliding such as skiing.
  • the document WO-A-97/019 606 describes a fireman's helmet with a visor or ocular screen.
  • the ocular screen is configured to be moved to a position of inaction when not required to provide eye and face protection for the helmet user.
  • the displacement of the ocular screen takes place towards the top of the helmet to fit into the gap between the head of the user and the outer shell. This upward movement makes it possible, for example, to improve the ventilation of the face.
  • the movement kinematics of the ocular screen described in this document is complex.
  • the solution described provides for using two links articulated respectively with the top or the bottom of the screen at one end, these rods being pivotally mounted at their other end for moving the screen.
  • the screen can only move in a single specific path.
  • a helmet equipped with such a screen is sensitive to shocks that the helmet undergoes, as these shocks can damage the mechanical movement system.
  • shocks can damage the mechanical movement system.
  • use in sports fields that are quite restrictive for a helmet in terms of impact loads can not be considered for such a helmet.
  • This is also the case for use in extreme conditions, for example with a high or low ambient temperature and projections of various liquids, for example water or snow, which can seize such a moving mechanism.
  • the document FR-A-2 987 982 describes a fireman's helmet, having a shell having a face opening and a visor.
  • the visor comprises a screen having a central portion and two side wings.
  • the visor also comprises two connecting pieces each mounted on a side wing.
  • Each connecting piece comprises a hull connection system comprising a first pivot member arranged to allow, in the mounted position of the visor on the hull, the pivoting of the connecting piece relative to the hull.
  • This pivoting is around a first axis of substantially transverse pivoting and thus initiates the displacement of the screen relative to the shell between low and high positions. In the low position, the screen extends opposite the facial opening. In the high position, the screen substantially clears the facial opening.
  • connection system to the corresponding side wing of the screen of each connecting piece comprises a second pivot member.
  • This second member is arranged to allow the pivoting of the screen relative to the connecting piece around a second substantially transverse pivot axis.
  • Each connecting piece also comprises a guide slot inside which slides a complementary guide slider formed on the lateral wing of the screen to form a slide-type connection for guiding the pivoting movement about the second axis. pivoting.
  • the helmet is sensitive to shocks to the helmet, which can damage the mechanical system of movement of the visor.
  • the external environment can also disturb the kinematics of the visor.
  • these guidance systems do not allow to obtain a good veneer of the lower edge of the screen against the face of the user. Indeed, it may be useful for the lower edge of the screen to adapt to the morphology of the user's face to improve the airtightness of the space extending in front of the eyes.
  • rods or guide slots provides a limited path of the screen.
  • this construction does not provide a path to quickly clear the screen when tilted from the low to the high position. This clearance may be desired for a user wearing eyeglasses. With a quick release, moving the screen upward away from the face sufficiently to avoid interfering with the eyeglasses.
  • a problem to be solved by the present invention is therefore to allow greater freedom of movement for a screen of a visor for a helmet whose face opening can be closed at least partially by the screen.
  • At least one lateral wing supports a cam intended to cooperate with a complementary cam path, fixedly mounted relative to the outer shell, so as to effect angular limitation of the pivoting of the screen around the second pivot axis towards the bottom. and allowing the upward rotation of the screen about the second pivot axis by moving the cam away from the cam path.
  • the screen it is thus possible to rotate the screen around the second pivot axis in several angular positions of the connecting pieces.
  • the user can move the lower edge of the face screen. This distance allows to ventilate the space in front of the eyes. This can be useful, for example, to demist the screen.
  • this freedom of rotation always ensures good contact between the lower edge of the screen against the face when the visor is in its low position.
  • the screen can rotate around its second pivot axis until it comes into contact or maintain contact with the user, regardless of the morphology of the user. This provides a good airtightness of the space in front of the eyes. This results in a good morphological adaptation of the screen.
  • This cam construction also makes it possible to obtain a screen trajectory with a distance from the lower edge of the screen that is relatively large at the start of the stroke, when switching from the low position to the high position. This distance allows the displacement of the screen without interfering with glasses that the user would wear. This construction is therefore suitable for a user with glasses.
  • the invention proposes more freedom of movement of the screen when it switches from a low position to a lower one. high position, or vice versa. As a result, this kinematics reduces the risk of jamming of the mechanism. There is no combination of the two rotational movements with a low angular deflection of the screen likely to produce friction between the component parts at the expense of the proper functioning of the visor.
  • Another aspect of the present invention relates to a helmet having a shell and a visor as previously described.
  • a sports helmet such as a gliding sports helmet such as skiing or such as a bicycle helmet.
  • the invention also relates to a helmet comprising an outer shell on which is articulated a visor as described above.
  • the first connection system comprises a support integral with the outer shell and on which is mounted in rotation the connecting piece.
  • the support carries the cam path.
  • the present invention relates to a visor 100 for a protective helmet 200 having an outer shell 210 forming the outer periphery of the helmet 200.
  • the helmet 200 comprises an outer shell 210 at least partially surrounding the head of the person wearing it.
  • the outer shell 210 is adapted to the intended application, for example to sliding sports such as skiing.
  • the outer shell 210 has a facial opening 222 more or less closed depending on the type of helmet 200, this opening releasing a free space at least in front of the eyes of the person wearing the helmet 200. It is this facial opening 211 that can be closed more or less completely by a visor 100.
  • the visor 100 comprises a screen 110 at least partially transparent.
  • the screen 110 is intended to be lodged in front of the eyes to protect them from the environment (wind, sun, cold, snow, rain ).
  • the screen 110 has a central portion 111 and two lateral wings 112 so that the person wearing the helmet 200 can benefit from an extended viewing angle on both side sides of the helmet 200.
  • the screen 110 may present an upper seal 116 disposed at the top of the screen 110, at its upper edge and a lower seal 117 disposed at its lower edge 118.
  • the visor 100 comprises two connecting pieces 120 each mounted on a lateral wing 112 of the screen 110.
  • Each connecting piece 120 shown modeled to Figures 2 to 5 , comprises a first pivot member 121 of a first connection system to the outer shell 210.
  • This first pivot member 121 is arranged to allow, in the assembled position of the visor 100 on the outer shell 210, the pivoting of the workpiece link 120 relative to the outer shell 210 about a first pivot axis 123.
  • This first pivot axis 123 is substantially horizontal and transverse to the outer shell 210.
  • Each connecting piece 120 further includes a second pivot member 122 of a second connection system to the corresponding lateral flange 112.
  • This second pivoting member 122 is arranged to allow the screen 110 to pivot relative to the connecting piece 120 around a second pivot axis 124.
  • This second pivot axis 124 is substantially horizontal and transverse to the shell 210
  • the second pivoting member 122 of the connecting piece 120 is intended to cooperate with a guide element 113 of the screen 110 to allow the rotation of the screen around the second pivot axis 124.
  • the guiding element 113 of the screen 110 is a circular orifice formed in a lateral flange 112 of the screen 110.
  • the second pivoting member 122 is here a cylinder housed in the orifice 113.
  • At least one lateral flange 112 supports a cam 114 intended to cooperate with a complementary cam path 221, fixedly mounted relative to the outer shell 210, so as to limit angularly the pivoting down of the screen 110 around the second pivot axis 124.
  • this downward pivoting corresponds to a pivoting of the screen 110 in the clockwise direction around the second pivot axis 124.
  • FIG. invention it is the two side wings 112 of the screen 110 which support a respective cam 114.
  • the cam 114 is a separate piece attached to the side wing 112 of the screen 110. This simplifies the construction of the screen, to design a larger cam, the screen being substantially thin and of change it if it deteriorates.
  • the cam 114 is provided to fit into the associated connecting piece 120.
  • the visor 100 may comprise a return member 130 configured to exert a force making it possible to pivot down the screen 110 around the second pivot axis 124.
  • This return member 130 serves to maintain a contact between the cam 114 and the complementary cam path 221 when the screen 110 pivots about the first pivot axis 123.
  • the return member 130 is a wire or an elastic blade or a spring having a first end integral with the connecting piece 120 and a second end integral with the screen 110.
  • the connecting piece 120 comprises a channel , not visible in the figures, in which is inserted part of the return member. This facilitates the assembly of the return member 130.
  • the portion of the return member 130 which is inserted into the channel is shown in solid lines and not dashed.
  • the cam 114 and the associated complementary cam path 221 can be sized so that the angular limitation varies as a function of an angular position of the connecting piece 120 with respect to the first pivot axis 123.
  • cam 114 may have a cam profile with a tip 115 of the upwardly directed profile of the shell 210 when the visor 100 is lowered, as shown in FIG. figure 2 . This tends to press the screen 110 against the shell 210.
  • the path 221 comprises at least one retaining shape 222, 223 shaped to cooperate with the cam 114 so that when the cam 114 cooperates with said at least one retaining shape 222, 223, the screen 110 is held in a predetermined position and chosen by the user.
  • the retaining shape 222, 223 is a recessed shape. It thus forms a concave portion in the cam path 221.
  • the tip 115 of the cam 114 is intended to traverse the path 221 and engage in the hollow of the retaining shape 222, 223.
  • the cam path 221 has two holding forms 222, 223 separated by a domed portion forming a projection 224 and two slopes 225, 226 joining the top of the convex portion to respectively one or the other of the two holding forms 222, 223.
  • the holding forms 222, 223, the projection 224 and the slopes 225, 226 form the complementary cam path 221 and are referenced in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the slopes 225, 226 can be curved or rectilinear.
  • a first form of support 222 said high form of maintenance, is shaped to cooperate with the cam 114 so that, when the cam 114 cooperates with the high holding shape 222, the screen 110 is maintained in a high position i.e., in a position where the screen is preferably fully raised.
  • This cooperation is sufficient to oppose the downward rotation of the screen under the effect of its weight. Thanks to this cooperation, the visor 100 and therefore the screen 110 can be maintained in stable high position. There is no need for a complementary maintenance mechanism. With a reduced number of pieces, a stable high position is obtained for the visor. The figure 4 illustrates this position.
  • a second form of holding 223, said low holding shape is shaped to cooperate with the cam 114 so that when the cam 114 cooperates with the low holding shape 223, the screen 110 is kept in a low position, i.e., in a position where the screen is preferably fully lowered.
  • the figure 1 illustrates this position.
  • the low holding shape preferably forms an end stop for the cam 114 running the path as it moves down the screen.
  • the upper slope 225 is situated between the projection 224 and the upper holding shape 222 and is shaped so that, when the cam 114 traverses this slope away from the upper holding shape 222, then the bias of the booster 130 increases. Thus this slope tends to keep the cam 114 in the upper holding shape 222, which prevents the screen from involuntarily leaving the up position. As a result, for this complementary camming path portion 221, the visor is in an unstable position. The latter is then urged to lodge in the high holding shape 222 and converge towards its stable high position.
  • the lower slope 226 is located between the projection 224 and the low holding shape 223 and is shaped so that when the cam 114 traverses this slope away from the low holding shape 223, then the biasing of the booster 130 increases.
  • this slope tends to keep the cam 114 in the low holding shape which prevents the screen from involuntarily leaving the low position for example under the effect of wind or vibration when the user rolls or slides on a soil having a relief generating vibrations.
  • the visor is in an unstable position. The latter is then urged to lodge in the low holding shape 223 and converge towards its stable low position.
  • this lower slope 226 is advantageously sized to allow a large separation of the screen 110, at the beginning of the screen stroke, when it switches from its low position to its high position. This spacing is preferably sufficient to avoid any interference with glasses worn by the user when moving the screen from one configuration to another.
  • the complementary cam path may include one or more other forms of support, disposed between the upper and lower hold shape. This would result in other stable intermediate positions. This can be useful, for example, to ventilate the back of the screen to demist it.
  • the stiffness of the return member 130 is strong enough to maintain the cam 114 in contact with the cam path 221 in the absence of user bias. Thus, under the effect of the weight of the screen 110, or under the effect of vibrations or wind, the screen remains in the high or low position in which the user has previously brought.
  • this return member 130 is sufficiently small so that a manual urging of the user makes it possible to move the cam 114 away from the cam path 221, without requiring excessive effort from the user.
  • This manual solicitation is for example with one or two fingers.
  • This freedom of movement of the screen 110 is illustrated in figure 5 .
  • the distance between the cam 114 and the cam path 221 is referenced "d".
  • the return member 130 also allows, in some cases, to press the lower edge 118 of the screen 110 against the face, in the low position. Its stiffness should not be strong so as not to exert too much contact pressure may bring discomfort. This veneer makes it possible to quench the space between the eyes and the screen, in the low position. The eyes are then protected from the weather.
  • the figure 2 illustrates the low position of the screen 110 and the visor 100.
  • the cam 114 is engaged in the low holding shape 223.
  • the screen 110 is fully lowered and pressed against the complementary cam path 221, with a tip 115 of the cam 114 substantially facing upwards of the helmet 200. This is a stable position.
