PERFECTIONNEMENT POUR CASQUE DE PROTECTIONIMPROVEMENT FOR PROTECTIVE HELMETS
La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement pour casque de protection comprenant une mentonnière. L'invention concerne plus 5 particulièrement la mentonnière. The present invention relates to an improvement for a protective helmet comprising a chin guard. The invention more particularly relates to the chin guard.
Les casques de protection sont depuis fort longtemps d'un usage courant dans différents domaines, soit à titre professionnel, comme cela est le cas pour les militaires, les pilotes d'avion ou d'hélicoptère, les gendarmes ou les pompiers, soit à titre civil ou privé, comme cela est le cas pour les utilisateurs de motos, de voitures de rallye ou de course, ou les employés de chantiers. Protective helmets have been used for a very long time in various fields, either professionally, as is the case for the military, pilots of aircraft or helicopters, gendarmes or firefighters, or civil or private, as is the case for users of motorcycles, rally cars or racing, or employees of building sites.
Les applications ne manquent pas et l'on connaît déjà un grand nombre de casques qui comprennent une coque externe rigide de forme sensiblement sphérique, équipée d'un habillage interne, et destinée à s'emboîter sur le crâne de l'utilisateur en ménageant à l'avant une ouverture faciale pour son visage. Ces casques comprennent généralement une enveloppe interne en mousse synthétique destinée à amortir les chocs. The applications are not lacking and we already know a large number of helmets which comprise a rigid outer shell of substantially spherical shape, equipped with an internal lining, and intended to fit on the skull of the user by providing the front a facial opening for his face. These helmets generally include an inner shell of synthetic foam for shock absorption.
Certains casques comprennent également une mentonnière destinée à protéger la mâchoire de l'utilisateur. Mais les mentonnières traditionnelles même si elles améliorent le niveau de protection n'assurent pas une protection maximale. Some helmets also include a chin guard to protect the user's jawbone. But traditional chinrests even if they improve the level of protection do not provide maximum protection.
Ainsi, la présente invention se propose de résoudre les inconvénients des mentonnières traditionnelles en proposant une nouvelle mentonnière qui assure une protection maximale. Thus, the present invention proposes to solve the disadvantages of traditional chinrests by proposing a new chin guard that provides maximum protection.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows with reference to the accompanying drawings which are given by way of non-limiting examples.
La figure 1 est une vue latérale dans une des positions de la mentonnière. Figure 1 is a side view in one of the positions of the chin.
2876005 2 La figure 2 est une vue latérale dans une l'autre des positions de la mentonnière. Figure 2 is a side view in the other of the positions of the chin guard.
La figure 3 est une vue latérale montrant le casque avec sa mentonnière avant sa connexion sur la coque. Figure 3 is a side view showing the helmet with its chin guard before connecting to the shell.
Le casque (1) équipé de la mentonnière selon l'invention peut être de tout type comme, par exemple, du type de ceux utilisés par les pompiers, les militaires ou les motards, voire les cyclistes ou les skieurs. Il comprend une coque externe principale (2) protégeant la boîte crânienne et la nuque de l'utilisateur et présente une ouverture faciale avant (3) dans la zone occupée par la face proprement dite de ce dernier, ledit casque ayant un plan longitudinal vertical (P) de symétrie générale. The helmet (1) equipped with the chinrest according to the invention can be of any type such as, for example, of the type used by firefighters, military or motorcyclists, or even cyclists or skiers. It comprises a main outer shell (2) protecting the skull and the nape of the user and has a front face opening (3) in the area occupied by the actual face of the latter, said helmet having a vertical longitudinal plane ( P) of general symmetry.
La coque (2) est en matériau rigide et peut être en tout matériau approprié tel qu'en matière plastique, en acier, en aluminium ou en matériau composite du type comprenant un empilage de couches de fibres de renfort, imprégnées et liées entre elles par une matrice en résine. Selon la structure générale du casque (1), la coque externe (2) est constituée par une paroi sensiblement sphérique comprenant plusieurs portions de paroi, à savoir, une portion avant supérieure de paroi (4) prolongée vers l'arrière par une portion arrière supérieure de paroi (5), elle-même prolongée vers le bas par une portion arrière inférieure de paroi (6), et comprend, par ailleurs, deux portions latérales de paroi: une portion latérale droite de paroi (7a) et une portion latérale gauche de paroi (7b) . La portion avant supérieure (4) correspond à la zone occupée par le front de l'utilisateur et est limitée par la bordure supérieure (8) de l'ouverture faciale (2) qui, quant à elle, est limitée latéralement par deux bordures latérales (9a, 9b). La portion arrière supérieure de paroi (5) correspond à la zone occupée par la boîte crânienne de l'utilisateur, tandis que la portion arrière inférieure de paroi (6) correspond à la zone occupée par la nuque de l'utilisateur. Ajoutons à cela que la paroi de la coque (2) est limitée vers le bas par une bordure inférieure (10). Les portions latérales de paroi (7a, 7b) correspondent aux zones occupées par les oreilles de l'utilisateur et sont limitées vers l'avant par la bordure latérale correspondante (9) de l'ouverture faciale (2), et vers le bas par les extrémités avant de la bordure inférieure (10). The shell (2) is made of rigid material and may be of any suitable material such as plastic, steel, aluminum or composite material of the type comprising a stack of layers of reinforcing fibers, impregnated and bonded together by a resin matrix. According to the general structure of the helmet (1), the outer shell (2) is constituted by a substantially spherical wall comprising a plurality of wall portions, namely, an upper front wall portion (4) extended rearwardly by a rear portion upper wall (5), itself extended downwards by a lower rear wall portion (6), and furthermore comprises two lateral portions of wall: a right side wall portion (7a) and a lateral portion left wall (7b). The upper front portion (4) corresponds to the area occupied by the user's forehead and is limited by the upper edge (8) of the facial opening (2) which, in turn, is limited laterally by two lateral edges. (9a, 9b). The upper rear wall portion (5) corresponds to the area occupied by the cranial box of the user, while the lower rear wall portion (6) corresponds to the area occupied by the neck of the user. Add to this that the wall of the shell (2) is limited downwards by a bottom edge (10). The lateral wall portions (7a, 7b) correspond to the areas occupied by the user's ears and are limited forwardly by the corresponding lateral border (9) of the facial opening (2), and downward by the front ends of the lower border (10).
2876005 3 Le casque (1) comprend une mentonnière principale (11) et selon l'invention au moins une mentonnière secondaire mobile (12) formant volet de protection. 2876005 3 The helmet (1) comprises a main chin guard (11) and according to the invention at least one movable secondary chin guard (12) forming a protective flap.
La mentonnière secondaire (12) est mobile en pivotement autour d'un axe transversal (13) pour être mobile en pivotement par rapport à la mentonnière principale (11) entre deux positions, à savoir, entre une position basse active de protection tel que cela est illustré à la figure 1, et une position haute escamotée telle qu'illustrée à la figure 2. The secondary chin (12) is pivotally movable about a transverse axis (13) to be pivotally movable relative to the main chin (11) between two positions, namely, between an active low position of protection such that this is shown in Figure 1, and a retracted high position as shown in Figure 2.
La mentonnière principale (11) a, de façon connue en soi, la forme 10 d'un arceau rigide reliant les deux parois latérales (7a, 7b) du casque. The main chinrest (11) has, in known manner, the form of a rigid arch connecting the two side walls (7a, 7b) of the helmet.
Par ailleurs, selon une caractéristique complémentaire, la mentonnière principale est amovible, pour pouvoir être mise ou retirée par l'utilisateur. A cet effet la mentonnière est telle que chacune de ses extrémités arrières, comprend des moyens de connexion (14a) destinés à coopérer avec des moyens de connexion complémentaires (14b) disposés sur chacune des parois latérales (7a, 7b) du casque. Furthermore, according to a complementary feature, the main chinrest is removable, to be put or removed by the user. For this purpose the chinrest is such that each of its rear ends, comprises connecting means (14a) for cooperating with complementary connecting means (14b) disposed on each of the side walls (7a, 7b) of the helmet.
On notera que la mentonnière secondaire (12) a la forme d'un arceau, et est articulée sur la mentonnière principale (11). Note that the secondary chin guard (12) has the form of a hoop, and is articulated on the main chinrest (11).
On a compris que lorsque l'utilisateur quand il a la tête droite a 20 non seulement sa mâchoire protégée par la mentonnière principale, mais son cou est aussi protégé par la mentonnière secondaire qui est en position basse de protection. It has been understood that when the user when he has his head straight has not only his jaw protected by the main chin guard, but his neck is also protected by the secondary chin guard which is in the low position of protection.
On a aussi compris que grâce au pivotement possible vers le haut de la mentonnière secondaire, l'utilisateur peut pencher ou tourner la tête sans être gêné par ladite mentonnière secondaire qui s'escamote, tel qu'illustré à la figure 2. It has also been understood that by the possible pivoting up of the secondary chinrest, the user can tilt or turn the head without being bothered by said secondary chinrest retracting, as shown in Figure 2.
Il va de soi que le casque pourrait recevoir un écran facial de protection sans pour autant sortir du champ de l'invention. It goes without saying that the helmet could receive a protective face shield without departing from the scope of the invention.
Ajoutons qu'un système de butée (15) est prévu pour limiter le 30 pivotement vers le bas de la mentonnière secondaire. In addition, an abutment system (15) is provided to limit the downward pivoting of the secondary chin guard.
2876005 4 Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons. Naturally, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents as well as their combinations.
