Definitions

  • This invention pertains to the technical field of personal protection devices against accidental falls on two-wheeled vehicles, such as motorcycles and bicycles or during work or sports activities in which the skull and cervical vertebrae may be exposed to the risk of serious injury due to an impact against the ground or against an obstacle.
  • the object of the invention relates to an airbag that can be adapted to a helmet, located in a backpack, positioned or secured to the user's back and provided with means for rapidly inflating the airbag in the event of an accident, also associated with means for automatically activating the said inflation, with the airbag adapting to the helmet, covering the same on both sides and the upper and rear areas, reinforcing the protection of the user's head and in turn protecting the cervical vertebrae, thereby preventing whiplash.
  • Spanish utility models U200200259 - inflatable protective device for motorcyclist jackets and U9401233 - self-inflating safety vest for motorcyclists describe garments that self-inflate in the event of accident situations protecting the user's body, without providing additional protection for the user's head and cervical vertebrae.
  • Spanish utility model U200202635 describes a protective helmet with a built-in airbag for the purpose of protecting the user's head and, by using the airbag, obtain means of protection against front, side and back traumas and, in turn, if the built-in airbag is triggered, offer greater protection for the user against possible anomalies in the spine, the said airbag having a gas tank and a charger, with the drawback that the weight of the components can increase inertia on the user's head and neck.
  • a body protection device applicable to motorcyclists of the type that includes at least one tight, inflatable chamber positioned and attached to the body of the motorcyclist, which covers part of the motorcyclist's body, provided with ultra-quick inflating means in the event of an accident situation and associated with means for automatically activating inflation, which, in an inflated state, covers a large part of the user's head allowing the device to be used with a helmet or without it; the said chamber, in the said first case, surrounds a large part of the helmet, mainly covering its sides and rear area, with the drawback that it does not protect the entire helmet.
  • patent ES2400885 describes a system and procedure for protecting part of the body in the event of an abnormal movement, such as a fall or collision.
  • the invention refers to a protective garment or apparel, such as a collar, equipped with an airbag system to protect the head of a cyclist in the event of an accident while cycling, the protective collar being envisaged to protect the head directly, without a protective helmet.
  • Patent P200402362 describes a cervical-back protection airbag module, formed by a containing body, which can be fitted on the head rest of a conventional vehicle, motorcycle helmet, horse riding helmet, ski helmet, etc.
  • an airbag carrier module which may or may not be integrated into the helmet or any part of the user's equipment, intended to protect the cervical region of the person carrying it.
  • an airbag that can be adapted to a helmet, object of the present invention, has been devised, being integrated in a backpack, positioned or secured to the user's back, provided with gas bottles with an electrically-operated valve for rapidly inflating the airbag in the event of an accident situation and associated with a microprocessor having a triaxial accelerometer, GPS and other sensors, the said microprocessor being able to be connected, in the case of vehicles, to impact sensors housed in the vehicle chassis, to amplify information, all of which being powered by batteries, in which the backpack also incorporates:
  • the airbag that can be adapted to the helmet comprises a sandwich structure of several layers of synthetic fabrics resistant to tearing from abrasion.
  • the synthetic fabric is nylon.
  • the inflating gas will be stored in a bottle which must withstand the required gas pressure and have the required volume to store sufficient gas to fill the airbag upon expansion.
  • a cold gas such as helium or CO2 will be used.
  • the electrically-operated valves of the gas bottles are intended to release all the gas the moment the airbag has to be triggered, inflating it.
  • the microprocessor housed in the backpack, positioned or secured to the motorcyclist's back, will constantly monitor the user's movements.
  • a triaxial accelerometer will measure the accelerations and decelerations associated with a mass, maintaining precise control of safety.
  • the route followed by the user and the characteristics of the road, straight, with bends, with an upward slope, etc. can be determined. All of this is powered by batteries housed inside the said backpack.
  • the electrically-operated valves of the gas bottles are automatically deactivated in the case of vehicles, when the sensors detect that the user is seated on the motorcycle and it is moving at low speed or below a certain speed, or they are deactivated automatically, in other types of activities, according to a certain speed that depends on the activity, preventing the airbag from deploying by mistake or when the protection provided by the helmet is sufficient at lower speeds.
  • the airbag will deploy, in approximately 8 or 15 milliseconds, only if the microprocessor detects a dangerous situation.
  • the gas that will be used for inflation will enter under pressure allowing the airbag to totally inflate in between 15 and 80 milliseconds maximum.
  • the battery of the trigger will last more than 8 hours in "active" mode. It will last several weeks in standby mode. Charging will be via a standard power socket.
  • the airbag presented that can be adapted to a helmet affords numerous advantages over existing personal protection devices given that it adapts to the helmet, covering both sides and the upper and rear areas, reinforcing the protection of the user's head and, in turn, protecting the cervical vertebrae; it also has deflating valves intended for expelling part of the air accumulated in the airbag, in the event of overpressure in an impact, thereby preventing vertical whiplash caused by the rebound effect.
  • the material that forms the airbag is a sandwich structure with several layers of synthetic fabric resistant to tearing from abrasion.
  • Figure 1 and 2 show the backpack (2) positioned or secured to the user's back in different orientations, indicating the housing cavity (3) of the folded airbag (1), schematically showing a user with a helmet protecting his head.
  • LEDs (4) to provide information on the elements integrated in the backpack (2), visible to the user and housed in the attachment straps (5).
  • the backpack (2) there are elements such as gas bottles with electrically-operated valves for rapid inflation in the event of an accident situation and associated with a microprocessor with triaxial accelerometer, GPS and other sensors, the said microprocessor being able to be connected, in the case of vehicles, to impact sensors housed in the vehicle chassis, to amplify information, all of which powered by batteries that are not shown.
  • a microprocessor with triaxial accelerometer, GPS and other sensors, the said microprocessor being able to be connected, in the case of vehicles, to impact sensors housed in the vehicle chassis, to amplify information, all of which powered by batteries that are not shown.
  • Figure 3 shows the airbag (1) in an inflated state, indicating the mechanically-acting deflating valves (6), the said airbag (1) being in an inflated state in a accident situation, deploying
  • the airbag material is comprised of a sandwich structure of several layers of synthetic fabric resistant to tearing from abrasion, the synthetic fabric being made of nylon.
  • Figure 4 shows the airbag adapted to the helmet (7), covering both sides of it, the rear area reinforcing cervical protection and upper area, also showing the backpack(2) and the attachment strap (5) with LEDs (4).
