Abstract
Description
Casque de sécurité relié à une ceinture par un élément allongé flexible
La présente invention concerne un casque de sécurité pour cycliste ou motocycliste.Safety helmet connected to a belt by a flexible elongated element
The present invention relates to a safety helmet for cyclists or motorcyclists.
Les casques de sécurité qu'utilisent actuellement les cyclistes et les motocyclistes assurent une protection généralement satisfaisante de la tête de ces derniers. Ils se montrent en revanche beaucoup moins efficaces contre le "coup du lapin" qui peut provoquer une paralysie instantanée par suite d'une rupture de la moelle épinière au niveau des vertèbres cervicales. The safety helmets currently used by cyclists and motorcyclists provide generally satisfactory protection for their heads. On the other hand, they are much less effective against whiplash, which can cause instant paralysis following a rupture of the spinal cord at the level of the cervical vertebrae.
La présente invention se propose précisément d'éviter ce danger et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un casque de sécurité qui se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte dans sa partie médiane arrière un élément allongé flexible le reliant à la partie médiane d'une ceinture, cet élément étant destiné à s'étendre le long de la colonne vertébrale du cycliste ou du motocycliste. The present invention specifically intends to avoid this danger and, to do this, it relates to a safety helmet which is characterized in that it comprises in its rear middle part a flexible elongate element connecting it to the middle part d 'a belt, this element being intended to extend along the spine of the cyclist or motorcyclist.
La tête de l'utilisateur de ce casque de sécurité ne peut plus, grâce à l'élément allongé flexible, être violemment projetee en avant, puis en arrière, lors d'un choc frontal, ce qui empêche la formation du coup du lapin et évite par conséquent les risques d'une paralysie quasi certaine. The head of the user of this safety helmet can no longer, thanks to the flexible elongated element, be violently thrown forward, then back, during a frontal impact, which prevents whiplash formation and therefore avoids the risks of almost certain paralysis.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré -de l'invention, l'élément allongé est un ressort à spires jointives. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the elongated element is a spring with contiguous turns.
Ce ressort permet à l'utilisateur de tourner plus facilement la tête et rend donc le port du casque beaucoup plus confortable. This spring allows the user to turn their head more easily and therefore makes wearing a helmet much more comfortable.
Le casque de sécurité selon l'invention est avantageusement relié à l'élément allongé par un dispositif de verrouillage à encliquetage. Il peut ainsi être séparé de l'élément allongé, ce qui facilite sa mise en place et son retrait et simplifie en outre les problèmes de rangement. The safety helmet according to the invention is advantageously connected to the elongated element by a latching locking device. It can thus be separated from the elongated element, which facilitates its installation and removal and further simplifies the storage problems.
L'élément allongé et la ceinture à laquelle il est relié doivent de préférence être positionnés sous le blouson que les cyclistes et les motocyclistes utilisent de manière habituelle. Ce blouson maintient en effet convenablement l'élément allongé contre le dos de l'utilisateur et participe donc à la sécurité de celui qui porte le casque. The elongate member and the belt to which it is connected should preferably be positioned under the jacket that cyclists and motorcyclists usually use. This jacket effectively holds the elongated element against the back of the user and therefore contributes to the safety of the person wearing the helmet.
I1 peut toutefois être souhaitable que le casque selon l'invention soit utilisé avec un blouson comportant le long de la ligne longitudinale médiane de son dos un manchon extérieur apte à recevoir l'élément allongé. It may however be desirable for the helmet according to the invention to be used with a jacket comprising along the median longitudinal line of its back an outer sleeve capable of receiving the elongated element.
Un mode d'exécution de la présente invention sera décrit ci-après à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel:
- la figure l est une vue en perspective schématique d'un casque de sécurité conforme à l'invention, l'élément allongé et la ceinture reliée à ce dernier étant placés sous un blouson ; et
- la figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure l mais montrant un blouson dont le dos est pourvu d'un manchon extérieur, l'élément allongé s'étendant dans le manchon tandis que la ceinture est serrée sur le blouson.An embodiment of the present invention will be described below by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawing in which:
- Figure l is a schematic perspective view of a safety helmet according to the invention, the elongated element and the belt connected to the latter being placed under a jacket; and
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure l but showing a jacket whose back is provided with an outer sleeve, the elongated element extending in the sleeve while the belt is tightened on the jacket.
Le casque de sécurité selon l'invention est pourvu, dans sa partie médiane arrière, d'un ressort à spires jointives l le reliant à la partie médiane d'une ceinture 2, ce ressort étant destiné à s'étendre le long de la colonne vertébrale de la personne portant le casque, et à amortir les forces de projection s'exerçant sur la tête de cette personne en cas de choc.. The safety helmet according to the invention is provided, in its rear middle part, with a spring with contiguous turns l connecting it to the middle part of a belt 2, this spring being intended to extend along the column vertebral body of the person wearing the helmet, and to absorb the projection forces exerted on the head of this person in the event of shock.
Comme le montrent les figures 1 et 2, le ressort 1 est relié au casque par un dispositif de verrouillage 3 comprenant deux pièces complémentaires conformées pour être encliquetées et désencliquetées très rapidement, l'une de ces pièces étant fixée à l'une des extrémités du ressort tandis que l'autre pièce est fixée sur la face externe du casque. Grâce à ce dispositif de verrouillage, il est donc possible de relier le casque et le ressort ou au contraire de les séparer l'un de l'autre. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the spring 1 is connected to the helmet by a locking device 3 comprising two complementary parts shaped to be snapped on and off very quickly, one of these pieces being fixed to one end of the spring while the other part is fixed on the external face of the helmet. Thanks to this locking device, it is therefore possible to connect the helmet and the spring or, on the contrary, to separate them from one another.
A son autre extrémité, le ressort est solidaire d'une plaque 4 s'étendant perpendiculairement au plan de ses spires, la ceinture 2 étant retenue entre la plaque 4 et une plaque 5 reliée à cette dernière par des moyens de liaison appropriés. At its other end, the spring is secured to a plate 4 extending perpendicularly to the plane of its turns, the belt 2 being retained between the plate 4 and a plate 5 connected to the latter by suitable connecting means.
Le casque de sécurité selon l'invention est très facile à mettre en place. Il suffit en effet que son utilisateur le relie au ressort l en encliquetant les deux parties complémentaires du dispositif de verrouillage 3, le mette ensuite en place sur sa tête, puis serre la ceinture 2 autour de sa taille et mette enfin le blouson 6 pour que celui-ci maintienne le ressort l contre sa colonne vertébrale. The safety helmet according to the invention is very easy to put on. It suffices that its user connects it to the spring l by snapping the two complementary parts of the locking device 3, then puts it in place on his head, then tightens the belt 2 around his waist and finally puts the jacket 6 so that this holds the spring l against its spine.
En se référant plus particulièrement à la figure 2, on remarquera que le casque selon l'invention peut être utilisé avec un blouson spécial 7 comprenant, le long de la ligne longitudinale médiane de son dos un manchon extérieur 8 ayant une section transversale suffisante pour recevoir le ressort 1. Referring more particularly to FIG. 2, it will be noted that the helmet according to the invention can be used with a special jacket 7 comprising, along the longitudinal center line of its back, an outer sleeve 8 having a cross section sufficient to receive spring 1.
Pour utiliser le casque avec ce blouson, l'utilisateur doit introduire le ressort dans le manchon 8 jusqu'à ce qu'il fasse saillie à l'extrémité supérieure de ce dernier, encliqueter les deux parties complémentaires du dispositif de verrouillage 3, mettre le blouson 7, poser le casque sur sa tête et serrer la ceinture 2 autour de sa taille. To use the helmet with this jacket, the user must introduce the spring into the sleeve 8 until it protrudes at the upper end of the latter, snap the two complementary parts of the locking device 3, put the jacket 7, put the helmet on his head and tighten the belt 2 around his waist.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit, le casque est relié à la ceinture 2 par un ressort à spires jointives, de préférence métallique et hélicoidal. Il va de soi cependant que l'on ne sortirait pas du cadre de la présente invention si l'on remplaçait ce ressort pas une lame métallique apte à venir à plat contre le dos de l'utilisateur. In the embodiment which has just been described, the helmet is connected to the belt 2 by a spring with contiguous turns, preferably metallic and helical. It goes without saying, however, that it would not go beyond the scope of the present invention if this spring were not replaced by a metal blade capable of coming flat against the user's back.
