Description

RETRACTING DEVICE FOR PROTECTING THE HEAD OF A USER

AGAINST WEATHER

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a retractable protective device. It applies, in particular, to the protection of the head of a user against climatic or environmental elements such as sun, rain, wind or pollution.

STATE OF THE ART

Hoodies are a well-known means of protecting a user's head from being wet by rain. A hood, or hood is a garment accessory that serves to protect the head from rain and sun, as well as wind, while keeping your hands free. When not in use, it is either folded in the collar of the garment, or unfolded and hanging in the back of the garment. Current hoods are impractical when they touch the head, dishevel the hair, fall on the forehead or on the eyes, facilitating perspiration, because little ventilated.

Another well-known device is the umbrella. The umbrella or umbrella protects better from rain or sun than the hood, the head is better ventilated. However, the need to hold it with one hand limits the practicality of these provisions, because certain actions require to have both hands free like to telephone, to read a plan, to circulate by bicycle, to hold a stroller, to applaud during a show or match, or perform manual work, for example.

Other accessories of the umbrella type to attach to the backpack, bike or stroller have limited usefulness and effectiveness. In addition, the sensitivity of umbrellas and umbrellas to wind squalls is a recognized disadvantage.

Hats, caps, bobs, and other headgear can effectively protect against the sun and rain, but they are sensitive to the wind. We keep the use of both hands, but we sweat from the head and the hairstyle is not preserved.

The main criticisms against rain protection equipment are, in descending order of importance: to hide the view, to protect only partially, the lack of aeration of the head and a high wind resistance.

The main criticisms against sun protection equipment are, in decreasing order of importance: high wind resistance, lack of aeration of the head, only partially protect and dishevel.

US Patent No. 8944300 is known from Nubrella Company which discloses a rain protection device which has arches articulated around the shoulders of the user and a support on the back of the user. The movements of the user are hampered by the size of the device and the location of the support, which is heavy. Once folded, the arches rest on the back in a cumbersome position.

Also known is the US patent application US 2005/0279396 which has a sunshade in the form of retractable cap attached around the body of a user by a harness. The exposed device has a rigidity and the stability of the device once worn by the user very low, making the device unusable in windy conditions or for rapid walking.

US patent application US 5896590 discloses a device automatically deploying around the head of a user in case of fall in riding. Hoops and a canvas are contained in a backpack and folded on the back the user before deployment. The US patent application US 1 803 538 discloses a retractable cap whose hoops are placed on the back of a user in the folded position.

US patent application US 8690031 discloses a back harness which comprises a hood provided with arches. In the folded position, the hood is vertical above the shoulders of the user.

US Patent Application 2015/08971 1 discloses a device, which once folded rests in the back of the user.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention aims to remedy all or part of these disadvantages.

To this end, according to a first aspect, the present invention is directed to a retractable device for protecting a user's head against environmental elements, which comprises:

at least one hoop,

at least two articulations of at least one arch with a support, each articulation is fixed at one end of at least one arch, at least one articulation comprising means for locking said arch in a predetermined position called "deployed position",

an at least partially closed support, configured to at least partially surround the nape of the user, comprising:

- at least one support resting on each shoulder of the user and

at least one retractor for positioning each articulation at a predetermined distance from each support in the deployed position;

a fabric fixed to each arch and the support to create a protective screen around the user's head in the deployed position, the fabric and the arches are circumscribed by the support in a position called "folded position" minimizing clutter device, between the neck and shoulders of the user by releasing the back of the user.

The device is a hybrid equipment between the umbrella and the hood, which allows to have the ventilated head and keep the use of both hands while being protected from the sun, rain and wind. The protective surface is smaller than that of an umbrella, but greater than that of a hood and hat or cap. The device is foldable and foldable easily and quickly, and the device is compact when folded. The device withstands wind storms thanks to the arches and the blocking means.

The arches allow to obtain a larger surface of protection, without however the canvas slips and touches the hair or the head of the user. The joints allow to deploy the fabric or to fold it when a protection is no longer necessary. The retractor has the function of raising the two joints to approximate height of the ears of the user which allows to deploy the canvas and the arches around the head of the user without touching, while maintaining a compact size for the hoops, which can thus be positioned around the neck of the user in the folded position.

The device which is the subject of the present invention also fulfills the following functions:

- protect and ventilate the user's head thanks to the arches and the spreaders,

- preserve the vision and freedom of movement of the user including the head, hands and shoulders, thanks to the support and the shape of the arches,

- preserve the perception of external noise, because the canvas does not rub against the head and ears of the user unlike a hood,

- have a successful aesthetic that enhances the user, - be waterproof, breathable, resistant to ultraviolet and / or certain chemical agents such as pollution, harmful dust of paint or other chemicals, and shock,

- rely on the user,

- be easy to deploy and replicate and / or

- be light, compact and protected when folded.

In addition, the support comprises each spacer and each support provides structural rigidity to the device. The device is more resistant to efforts, such as wind and efforts to deploy the arches and canvas. The device is also more stable under the shocks of each step when the user walks. Also, since the fabric is fixed at least partially to the support, the support makes it possible to tension the fabric and to hold it above the user's head. This arrangement also makes it possible to do without a rear arch, which simplifies the design of the joints, because they are connected to only one arch. The support and the canvas transfer the efforts in a distributed manner to the shoulders of the user, making the activity of the user more pleasant.

Finally, when the device is in the folded position, the arches and the fabric are protected from shocks and projections by the support and an aesthetic appearance is respected.

In embodiments, the device that is the subject of the present invention comprises a means for retaining the hoops in the folded position.

These embodiments make it possible to avoid inadvertent deployment of the device.

In embodiments, the retaining means has a pocket provided with a closure means attached to at least one attachment of the fabric to the carrier, the pouch being positioned in the carrier.

These embodiments make it possible to fold each arch and the fabric inside the support. Thus, in the folded position, the arches provide an improvement in the rigidity of the support. In addition, in the deployed position, the closure means attached to at least one attachment of the fabric also increases the rigidity of the device by the extra thickness formed. The pocket has at least one device for discharging rainwater, such as an orifice on its outer wall, for example.

In embodiments, at least one spacer has at least two arcs, each support and each hinge being attached to the end of an arc.

With these provisions, each spacer can be made of canvas and have a very low weight for more comfort for the user.

In embodiments, at least one spacer comprises two connecting rods articulated by a rotation means notched by one end, the other end of a connecting rod being fixed to a support on one side of the head of the user, the other end of the other rod being attached to a hinge on the same side of the user's head.

These embodiments make it possible to adjust the height of the spacer and to adapt it to the morphology of the user thanks to the different notches. In addition, the size of the device remains very limited.

In embodiments, the arches intersect and are joined by a ratchet assembly.

Thanks to these provisions, the assembly has a greater rigidity, especially to withstand the wind. And the distance between the supports and the joints can be adjusted according to several positions.

In embodiments, an arc is attached to each support and an arc is attached to each hinge, the arches being tangent in the middle of each arc. These embodiments make it easier to manufacture the device so that the arches can be positioned fixed to the fabric independently.

In embodiments, at least one spacer has at least one triangulation spacing means between the two arcs to spread the ends of one arc from the ends of the other arc.

The advantage of these embodiments is to present a number of positions not limited to the number of notches of a mechanism with notches, and a spreading movement along a line.

In embodiments, at least one spacer has at least one deformable piece tangent to one end of an arc and one end of the other arc.

Thanks to these provisions, the deployment of the joints is automatic once the means of retaining the arches is removed.

In embodiments, at least one spacer has a portion attached to the joints and a foldable portion comprising the supports.

The advantage of these embodiments is to limit the overall height of the device in the folded position.

In embodiments, the web has a cape to protect at least the shoulders of the user.

With these provisions, the clothing and clothing accessories of the user are also protected. In particular, the cape protects a possible backpack and also prevent rain from falling between the back of the user and the backpack. Especially since the part of the backpack facing the back of a user is not waterproof. The cape avoids the user to wear a large rain cape like a poncho and can keep his rain jacket which is important, especially in the context of hiking.

In embodiments, the device of the present invention comprises means for fixing the device to an article or clothing accessory.

These embodiments make it possible to adapt the device to any outfit or clothing accessory.

In embodiments, the device that is the subject of the present invention comprises a cap attached to at least one hoop.

These embodiments make it possible to increase the protection of the face of the user.

In embodiments, the hinge comprises means for attaching an accessory.

These embodiments make it possible to fix additional hoops for example.

In embodiments, each arc has a helical shape, each arc is attached to a hinge intended to be placed on one side of the user's head and to a support intended to be placed on the shoulder of the user. user on the other side of the head.

The advantage of these embodiments is an automatic deployment of each spacer to enhance the joints. In addition, the retraction of each spacer is facilitated since it suffices to crush the arches and then hold them in position.

In embodiments, the arches are assembled by a pivot link with notches in the middle of each arc.

Thanks to these provisions, the assembly is simpler since it has only one pivot for the two arcs. And the distance between the supports and the joints can be adjusted according to several positions. In embodiments, at least one spacer has at least one V-shaped spring close to the joint or the middle of the arches.

In embodiments, at least one spacer has at least two sliding parts, a first part being fixed to the supports and a second part being fixed to the joints.

These embodiments provide different distances between the supports and joints while maintaining rigidity of each spacer.

In the folded position, the ends of the arches are stacked at the level of the retractors which rest on the user between the neck and shoulders of the user, for example on the muscle called trapezius of the user.

The protection device 100 comprises a hoop 125 called "rear hoop" positioned behind the head 105 of the user in the deployed position. The protection device 100 comprises a bow 1 10 said "front bow" positioned above and in front of the face of the user in the deployed position.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the device comprises two arches 120 called "intermediate arches" between the anterior arch 1 10 and the rear arch 125 in the deployed position. Preferably, the device 100 comprises about eight intermediate arches 120.

Preferably, each intermediate arch 120 has identical dimensions and, in particular in section, lower than the dimensions of the front arch, 1 10. These embodiments make it possible to lighten the device for the intermediate arches, only the front arch is structural. and has larger dimensions to withstand different stresses. For example, intermediate arches are section stems circular circular diameter between one and three millimeters, and the anterior arch is a circular section rod diameter of between three and six millimeters.

In embodiments, at least two arrays are structural.

A bow, 1 10, 120 or 125, is a rod, or a rod. The arch, 1 10, 120 or 125, has, for example, a circular or oblong section, such as an ellipse. The circular section may be hollow to limit the weight of the device 100.

Preferably, the arches, 1 10, 120 and 125, are made of a polymer material, such as polyamide or polypropylene, or of composite material incorporating carbon fiber, glass or linen, or metal material, for example.

In embodiments, the arches, 10, 120, and 125, have an arched V-shape, as shown in FIG. 17, for example, to cover the user's forehead and free the visual space on the sides of the the user's head.

More generally, the hoops, 1 10, 120 and 125, may have an axially symmetrical shape such that the axis of symmetry is disposed substantially in the middle of the user's forehead. The axially symmetrical shape has a vertex on the axis of symmetry, such that, in the deployed position, the vertex is more advanced with respect to the plane of the user's forehead than the ends.

Preferably, the anterior arch is polyamide of diameter between three and six millimeters. Preferably, each intermediate hoop is made of polypropylene having a diameter of between one and three millimeters.

The anterior arch 1 10 and the rear arch 125 are attached to a hinge 135. The hinge 135 forms a pivot connection between the hoops. Preferably, the articulation 135 forms a pivot connection between each arch, 1 10 and 125, a spacer 140.

In embodiments, the hinge 135 has the shape of two discs of the same center and of the same diameter, each disc having a fixing orifice of one end of the hoop, 1 10, 120 or 125.
