Definitions
- the present invention relates to a protective system which is particularly suitable for use during sports activities to protect against injury from shock, shock, collision, falls and the like.
- the cervical spine comprises the entirety of the vertebrae between the head and thoracic spine in humans.
- the two vertebrae closest to the skull have proper names, namely Atlas ("Nicker") and the Axis ("Turner").
- Atlas Atlas
- Axis the upper part of the cervical spine with the base of the skull. This is followed by five more vertebra C3-C7.
- the cervical spine thus includes the seven cervical vertebrae C1 -C7.
- the neck is referred to below the rear part of the neck. He is responsible for the mobility of the head and large parts of the upper body.
- the neck includes anatomically, among other things, the cervical spine and its connection to the back of the head (neck) and a large number of different muscles.
- the complex anatomical structures of the neck and neck muscles, the spine and the nerve roots make the area of the neck prone to a variety of injuries.
- the neck goes over into the shoulder and back area, where there is muscle to absorb energy.
- the shoulders are located in the upper part of the back and serve to accommodate the shoulder joints.
- the back is the back of the human trunk and extends from the lower edge of the neck to the area of the loin.
- the conventional protection systems available on the market usually serve special applications that are often located in extreme sports areas. These protection systems often can not be used across applications. This means that they are not suitable for everyday use. These protective systems severely limit the user's freedom of movement. These protection systems are often characterized by a neglected comfort and large, bulky volumes, which in turn makes handling difficult.
- the protection system should in particular be applicable across applications.
- the system should be adaptable to different applications.
- a modular body protection system which is designed in particular for the protection of the cervical region and the brain of a user, comprising: a helmet which covers at least the upper half of the head and the back of the user in an attracted state, wherein the helmet has a circumferential lower edge; a neck support for covering the neck of the user, the neck protection having an arcuate shoulder / back member and a collar member, the shoulder / back member being open at the front and further adapted to rest on the shoulders of the user, the collar member being open at the front and adapted to cover and support the neck of the user, wherein the collar member, preferably rigidly connected to the shoulder / back member, wherein the collar member has an upper edge which is formed with the lower edge of the helmet in a rearward pitching motion the head of the user to define a positive Nick end stop in a rear extreme position of the head; and an elastic connection which manually removably connects the helmet to the neck guard and which is arranged and configured to first dampen forward pitching of the head and then
- the system prevents extreme compression and stretching of the cervical spine in the
- the system prevents extreme accelerations.
- the system is lightweight and applicable in many different areas.
- the system can be used in extreme sports, but also in everyday life and work.
- the system has a low volume, so it is suitable for everyday use and system components can be easily integrated into normal garments or worn over or under normal garments.
- Backward pitching is done by a pitch end stop
- the collar member has a height such that the neck of the user is at least partially covered, and so that the edges in the normal state have a predetermined distance from each other, which allows rotational, pitching and rolling movements within a normal field of view.
- the cover of the neck results in a shock protection.
- the neck is supported from the outside. There is a stabilization of the cervical spine.
- the shoulder / back element is supported exclusively on the back and / or shoulder of the user.
- connection is fixed to the helmet or the
- Neck support connected and detachably connected to the neck support or the helmet.
- the system can therefore in individual components (eg helmet, neck support, elastic
- connection which is particularly advantageous when putting on and taking off, since the components can be successively put on or taken off. Only when all components are tightened, the final connection of the components takes place to form the overall system. The connection can be done manually.
- the compound is an elastic strip.
- An elastic strip or elastic band can be produced easily and is easy to handle. Reinforcements (parallel to the longitudinal direction or crosswise) may be incorporated in the strips which limit maximum stretch of the strip (in the longitudinal direction or laterally).
- the elastic strip supports the manually detachable connection between the helmet and the neck support.
- the effort to connect the helmet with the neck support is minimal. Since the connection is provided only along the Nickebene, the user can turn the head without problems to the left and right. Such rotations are possible up to a maximum position, in which an over-rotation of the head is prevented.
- the neck support has a
- Opening angle of up to 180 ° Opening angle of up to 180 °.
- the system or the neck support is easy to put on and covers the neck.
- an upper portion of the collar member facing the lower edge of the helmet is formed of a plastically deformable material, with a remaining lower portion of the collar member formed of a non-deformable material.
- the plastic deformability of the upper portion of the collar member serves to absorb energy that is transferred from the helmet to the neck support during rearward pitching movements. Since the lower portion of the neck support does not deform, there is a good power transfer of the residual energy in the back of the user.
- the system may have a back protector.
- the back protector serves in particular for the additional stabilization of the helmet and the neck support.
- the helmet, neck support, and back protector extend in the nodding plane, improving energy absorption during backward pitching.
- the neck support is pivotally integrated into the back protector.
- the user can freely decide if and when he wants to use the neck support.
- the neck support supports the function of the back protector.
- the neck support limits backward pitching movements of the head or helmet.
- the neck support is integrated into a garment, especially in a jacket or shirt, or in a backpack.

- FIG. 1B Rear perspective view ( Figure 1B) of a human user M wearing a modular body protection system 10 (hereinafter also referred to as "system 10" for short) on his body.
- system 10 modular body protection system 10
- the system 10 has at least one half-shell helmet or helmet 12 and one
- the system 10 may also have a back protector or
- the neck support 14 can be worn by means of straps, which will be described in more detail below, or by the user M by means of a vest 20.
- the system 10 may further include eyeglasses or visor 22.
- the helmet 12 has the function of protecting the head of a user M.
- the helmet 12
- the helmet 12 can meet these requirements.
- the helmet 12 usually has a hard outer shell and is made of a durable plastic material such as e.g. Polycarbonate or ABS made.
- the helmet 12 may be reinforced by glass, armor or carbon fibers.
- Bicycle helmets are especially light. Ski and snowboard helmets are insensitive to temperature and have puncture protection. Motorcycle helmets and automobile sports helmets can absorb a lot of energy. Climbing helmets and football helmets are particularly robust. Boxer helmets are upholstered inside and out. Diving helmets are waterproof and airtight. Kayak helmets are insensitive to water.
- the helmet 12 can be adapted to any of these applications. It is designed as a multi-purpose helmet, which meets the test standards for several sports.
- half-shell helmets 12 preferably half-shell helmets 12 and
- Open helmets used. These helmets 12 have no fixed chin. Full face helmets can also be used. Full face helmets have a firm chin.
- Half-shell helmets 12, which have a deep-drawn visor and slightly more forward sides, are also referred to as three-quarter helmets and are to be regarded as encompassed.
- the sheath helmet 12, in particular to meet the ECE standard, protects the forehead, ears and neck of the user M. However, so-called "braincaps" are also included whose helmet shell protects only the area above the ears and the neck.
- the system 10 is characterized by a high freedom of movement.
- the user M has a large field of view S and can move his head far in all directions. This means that the field of view S, which in FIG.
- FIG. 1A is aligned in front (arrow V), can be moved in almost any direction by the user M moving his head.
- the freedom of movement is indicated in FIG. 1 A by arrows 23.
- the user's head M can rotate about a yaw axis D to face left or right.
- the head can turn around a pitch axis N to nod.
- the head can rotate about a roll axis R to perform roll motions. All of these movements are permitted by the system 10, with pitching movements being limited forwards and backwards about the pitch axis N, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the axes D, N and R are perpendicular to each other and meet in the head joint of the cervical spine, which is not shown here.
- Fig. 1B it is shown that the helmet 12 via a compound or
- Connecting device 24 is connected to the neck support 14. This connection 24 is manually, in particular one-handed, solvable so that the user M the helmet 12 on and off at any time. The freedom of movement of the user M is therefore not significantly limited.
- the helmet 12 and the neck support 14 may be used with existing protection modules (e.g., back protectors) individually and in combination.
- existing protection modules e.g., back protectors
- the protection of the cervical spine is significantly increased by the system 10 at the interface between the head and trunk.
- the system 10 acts as impact protection.
- the neck support 14 provides support and stiffening of the neck or neck of the user M.
- the system 10 protects the cervical spine from overstretching during pitching forward, from compression during pitching backwards, and from overstretching to the side in case of rolling movements. Furthermore, jerky movements, for example in the form of horizontal pulses or shocks, are damped.
- the user M of the system 10 is also protected from climatic influences.
- the individual components of the system 10 may be provided with reflectors (not shown) to achieve a signal effect.
- FIG. 2 shows various views of the system 10, with the user M not shown.
- Fig. 2A shows a front view.
- Fig. 2B shows a side view.
- Fig. 2C shows a view obliquely from the front.
- Fig. 2D shows a view obliquely from behind.
- the system 10 will be described with common reference to Figs. 2A to 2D.
- connection 24 is implemented in the form of a strip 26 of a preferably elastic material.
- the strip 26 connects an occipital portion 30 (Fig. 2B) of the helmet 12 to a collar member 38 of the neck support 14.
- the occipital portion 30 is an extension of an upper shell 28 of the helmet 12 toward the neck.
- the collar member 38 provides a columnar component of the neck support 14, which merges into an arcuate shoulder / back member 40 (FIG. 2A).
- the strip 26 is fixedly connected to the collar member 38 during use of the system 10 and may be rotatably supported about the roll axis R. To remove the strip 26, e.g. to be able to replace after a crash, but the strip 26 may be releasably connected.
- a push button 36 (Figure 2D) may be used.
- the strip 26 has at its upper portion at least one opening 34 ( Figure 3) through which is passed a bracket 32 fixed to the helmet 12 ( Figures 2B and 2D).
- the bracket 32 defines an upwardly open gap with the helmet 12, which is designed to receive a spectacle belt 33.
- a plurality of openings 34 may also be provided along a longitudinal direction of the strip 26.
- the strip 26 may alternatively be fixed to the helmet 12 to be releasably connected to the neck support 14, which then in turn has a corresponding attachment means, such as a hook or eyelet. Furthermore, it is understood that the strip 26 may also be formed substantially rigid, in which case a receptacle of the strip 26 is formed elastically in order to achieve the damping effect.
- the strip 26 extends in the normal tightened state of the system shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in a pitch plane defined by the axes D and R (Fig. 1A) and on which the pitch axis N is perpendicular. Preferably, only a single connection 24 is provided between the helmet 12 and the neck support 14.
- reinforcements 42 may be provided on the helmet 12 and / or on the neck support 14. Shown in FIG. 2D is a reinforcement 42 that extends from the collar member 38 along the spine to the shoulder / back member 40.
- the reinforcement 42 may have reflective properties.
- the system 10 shown in FIG. 2 has, in addition to the helmet 12 and the neck support 14, an optional back protector 16.
- the back protector 16 is formed, for example, from three elements 16-1 to 16-3, which extend along the spine and are preferably mounted movably to each other on a base plate unspecified here.
- the back protector 16 substantially covers the area of the spine and adjacent areas.
- the neck support 14 and the back protector 16 are fixedly connected to shoulder straps 44-1 and 44-2.
- the back protector 16 is further connected to an (optional) hip belt 46.
- the shoulder straps 44 you can wear the neck support 14 and the back protector 16 like a backpack.
- the shoulder straps 44 may be adjustable. Corresponding adjustment mechanisms are not shown. The same applies to the hip belt 46.
- the neck support 14 is connected in the neck and shoulder area with the shoulder straps 44.
- Other reinforcing straps which are not specified here, may be provided in the neck area (FIG. 2A).
- the neck support 14 may be connected solely to the shoulder straps 44 without the back protector 16 being present.
- the neck support 14 may be attached to or in a vest (not shown).
- the neck support 14 may be placed in a jacket or other clothing be integrated (not shown). Integration into a backpack is also possible.
- Fig. 3 shows a rear view of the system 10, with the helmet 12 and the neck support
- the helmet 12 has a lower circumferential edge 50.
- the neck support 14 has an upper edge 52.
- the edges 50 and 52 are formed so that they allow a positive connection.
- Positive connections generally arise from the interaction of at least two connection partners. In the case of a positive connection, one of the connection partners is "in the way" of the other connection partner. Under load, compressive forces act normally, i. perpendicular to the faces of the fasteners. Such blockages occur in at least one direction.
- the edges 50 and 52 have a distance A from each other that allows pitching movements of the user M forward and backward.
- the strip 26 is chosen to be relaxed in the state shown in FIG. neither stretched nor compressed.
- the strip 26 is pulled over the bracket 32 upwards and guided with its opening 34 on the bracket 32, and then automatically return to the position shown in FIG.
- the elasticity of the strip 26 is selected so that the strip 26 can be easily moved manually by the user M on the bracket 32.
- the bracket 32 may be designed accordingly.
- the lower edge 50 of the helmet 12 is concave in the neck region.
- the upper edge 50 of the helmet 12 is concave in the neck region.
- Edge 52 of the neck support 14 is correspondingly convex. Of course, the bulges can also be configured the other way round. As will be explained in more detail with reference to Figure 4, the upper edge 52 of the neck support 14 forms a positive mechanical (end) stop in backward pitching movements.
- Figs. 2B and 3 clearly show the shape of the neck support 14.
- the collar member 38 is columnar-like, similar to half a cylinder shell formed.
- the collar member 38 preferably covers large areas of the neck of the user M.
- the collar member 38 encloses here exemplarily the rear half of the neck, ie the neck of the user M at an angle of about 180 °.
- the collar member 38 is open at one end to the front.
- a height of the collar element 38 is selected so that the helmet 12 and the collar element 38 in the normal state (FIG. 3) are spaced apart by the distance A.
- the collar member 38 may be height adjustable.
- the shoulder / back member 40 is slightly wider than the head of the user M designed
- the shoulder / back member shown in Figs. 2 and 3 has substantially the shape of a quarter-cylinder jacket (Fig. 2B) and is in the range the collar member 38 interrupted.
- the collar member 38 seamlessly transitions into the shoulder / back member 40.
- the connection is rigid in this case.
- the collar member 38 and the shoulder / back member 40 are integrally formed here. It is understood that the elements 38 and 40 may also be formed Girteilg.
- Shoulder line (not shown) of the user M can be varied.
- the shoulder / back member 40 may also be varied in length in the direction of the user M's back. From Fig. 2B it follows that the shoulder / back member 40 does not protrude into the chest area of the user M.
- the shoulder / back element is in this sense "breast-free", and thus increases the wearing comfort for the user M. Forces transmitted from the helmet 12 to the neck support 14, e.g. over the straps, initiated exclusively in the shoulder and / or back area of the user M. The same applies to external impacts on the neck support 14.
- Fig. 4 shows a rear view of the system 10 in a normal state (Fig. 4A) and in an extreme position in a backward pitching motion (Fig. 4B).
- 4B thus shows a situation in which the head of the user M makes a pitching movement about the pitch axis N, which is directed to the rear, as indicated by arrows 54.
- the upper edge 50 of the helmet 12 is positively engaged with the lower edge 52 of the neck support 14. Between the helmet 12 of the neck support 14 is no more leeway.
- the strip 26 is compressed.
- An applied force F (torque) is introduced by the mechanical stop of the helmet 12 in the neck support 14.
- the geometry of the neck support 14 results in a force flux distribution 56, which is indicated by arrows 58.
- the cervical spine (not shown) will not be compressed beyond a certain point.
- the positive contours of the edges 50 and 52 also prevent sideways rolling movements 60.
- the material of the neck support 14 is compressed, which in addition energy is dissipated.
- FIG. 5 again shows a rear view of the system 10 in a normal state (FIG. 5A) and in a further extreme position in a forward pitching movement (FIG. 5B).
- Fig. 5B there is an overstretching of the cervical spine (not shown) because a forward pitching motion 62 about the pitch axis N is performed.
- the strip 26 is stretched in a region 64.
- the distance A between the helmet 12 and the neck support 14 increases in comparison to the normal state (FIG. 5A).
- the strip 26 prevents overstretching beyond a predetermined amount.
- the strip 26 may include internal reinforcements (not shown) that limit maximum elongation of the strip 26 in its longitudinal direction. In this way, the cervical spine is prevented from being overstretched and the user hits M with his chin on his chest.
- Figures 6A and 6B again show rear views of the system 10.
- Figure 6A is an illustration of a lateral burst 66 from the right.
- Fig. 6B is an illustration of a laterally directed pulse 66 from the left.
- the head rolls about the roll axis R, which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of FIG.
- Both the strip 26 and the edges 50 and 52 prevent excessive lateral movement of the helmet 12.
- the helmet 12 and the neck support 14 engage laterally (see arrow 68), preferably with a positive fit.
- the neck support 14 is a (side) end stop.
- the strip 26 dampens the lateral pulse 66 by stretching a lateral pulse 26 side of the strip 26 and compressing the opposite side.
- Fig. 7 shows the system 10 with a modified helmet 12 and a modified neck support 14, wherein only the course of the edges 50 and 52 is changed.
- Fig. 7A shows a normal state.
- Fig. 7B shows an extreme position in a backward pitching motion with simultaneous lateral pulse from the left.
- FIG. 7A shows that the lower edge 50 has a further recess 70 in the area of the neck of the user M (not shown).
- the neck support 14 has an elevation 72, which fits into the recess 70 in a form-fitting manner.
- the upper edge 52 of the neck support 14 is spaced apart by the distance A from the lower edge 50 of the helmet 12.
- the height of the elevation 72 or the depth of the recess 70 is selected such that there is a play 74 in the vertical direction between the helmet 12 and the neck support 14, which can be any rotational movements about the axis of rotation D (not shown, see FIG ) of the head.
- the play 74 is illustrated between two auxiliary lines 76 and 78 in FIG. 7A.
- Fig. 7B shows a situation in which the head of the user M is thrown backwards (backwards pitching movements) and at the same time experiences a lateral pulse 66 from the left.
- the helmet 12 and the neck support 12 act as a stop.
- the strip 26 is not shown in Fig. 7 also. It is understood that the strip 26 is still part of the system of FIG. 7.
- FIG. 8 shows a side rear view of the system 10 in which the neck support 14 is pivotally formed about a pivot axis 90 that is parallel to a virtual connecting line of the shoulder joints.
- the neck support 14 is formed so as to be integrated with a back protector 16 which the user M wears like a backpack.
- the neck support 14 is articulated in the back protector 16, which has a sufficient volume to accommodate the neck support 14 can.
- the corresponding pivoting movement is indicated by means of an arrow 92.
- the neck support 14 is indicated in a middle position with dashed lines.
- FIG. 8 shows the neck support 14 in an erected position where the upper edge 52 can positively engage the lower edge 50 of the helmet 12.
