Description
WIPER APPARATUS FOR VISOR
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a wiper apparatus for use on a visor. In particular, the invention is concerned with a wiper apparatus comprising one or more brushes for use on the exterior surface of a transparent safety visor in order to remove rain, snow or other such vision impairing detritus.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Motorcyclists commonly use visors, built into crash helmets, for eye protection. In poor weather conditions, rain, mist or snow may collect on the outer surface of the visor, seriously impairing vision. Manually wiping the visor is both inefficient and potentially dangerous as it requires the motorcyclist to remove a hand from the handlebars frequently. This reduction in safety to both the motorcyclist and other road users, gives rise to the need for a system for the easy clearing of visor surfaces.
Visors for use with crash helmets or other safety equipment are generally curved in shape, often in more than one plane. This curvature presents problems for the development of effective wiper systems for use on crash helmets as it is difficult to maintain wiping contact between the wiper blade and the external surface of the visor over the entire span of the visor. For this reason, traditional oscillating rubber bladed wiper assemblies such as are used on car windscreens are generally not suitable for use with crash helmets A visor wiper assembly for a crash helmet having a wiper blade which is driven to and fro across the visor by means of a rack and pinion drive is described in UK Patent Application publication no. GB 2171292A. The specification lacks detail as to how the rack is driven and how the assembly is connected to the crash helmet nor is there any discussion of how the wiper blade is maintained in contact with the visor surface as it travels across the visor. A wiper assembly of this type is therefore unlikely to exhibit sufficiently firm contact to allow the visor to be kept adequately clean.
There therefore remains a continuing need for the development of visor wiper systems for crash helmets which overcome the problems associated with known systems and which afford acceptable wiping ability without compromising safety or comfort for the user.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is concerned with a wiper apparatus for a visor which is simple in construction but provides firm wiping contact between the wiper and visor as the wiper sweeps across the visor surface and which is particularly suited to use on a motorcycle crash helmet.
In a first aspect, the invention provides a wiper apparatus for use on a visor, said wiper apparatus comprising at least one brush assembly and drive means for driving said at least one brush assembly from side to side across the external surface of the visor.
In another aspect, the invention also provides a visor having a wiper apparatus according to the above aspect attached thereto.
Further provided is a helmet comprising such a visor.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As used herein, a brush assembly refers to an implement having a block of bristles mounted in a holder. The bristles may suitably be formed from any resiliently flexible material conventionally used for brushing purposes such as nylon or polypropylene filaments. The bristle holder may conveniently be formed from any suitably rigid material which can operate in a wide range of temperatures without deformation such as a plastics material, for example high density polystyrene or nylon, or a metal such as aluminium.
In one embodiment, the wiper apparatus comprises a single brush assembly.
However, multiple brush assemblies may conveniently be employed where the wiper apparatus is intended to be used on larger visors in order to provide a larger cleared area on the visor surface.
In one embodiment, where the wiper apparatus comprises a plurality of brush assemblies these may suitably be spaced apart laterally. Alternatively, the plurality of brushes may be arranged as multiple brush segments along a single axis.
The resiliently flexible bristles of the brush or brushes of the apparatus according to the present invention can adapt to the curvature of the visor much better than can conventional solid rubber wiper blades, thereby affording improved wiping contact with the visor as it travels across the surface of the visor in use. A brush also has the advantage of being less abrasive to the visor surface, and better able to deal with dry detritus.
Compared to known wiper blade assemblies, therefore, the use of the apparatus of the present invention affords improved wiping contact with the visor whilst reducing the potential damage to the surface of the visor caused by the wiper blade drawing grit or other such sharp-edged detritus across the visor surface as it travels from one side of the visor to another.
In one embodiment, the at least one brush assembly is connected to a mounting element which engages with the drive means, thereby linking the at least one brush assembly to the drive means.
The at least one brush assembly may be connected directly to the mounting element but in one embodiment, the at least one brush assembly is connected to the mounting element by means of a connecting element.
The connecting element may be of any suitable shape provided that it is adapted to be connected to both the mounting element and the brush assembly. It may suitably comprise a one-piece component or may comprise two or more components linked or otherwise connected together.
Where the wiper apparatus comprises more than one brush assembly, each brush assembly may be connected to the same connecting element but preferably each brush assembly is connected to a separate connecting element.
In one embodiment, the wiper apparatus comprises two brush assemblies, each brush assembly being connected to the mounting element by individual connecting elements.
The at least one brush assembly may be connected to mounting element or to the intervening connecting element, which in turn is itself connected to the mounting element, by any conventional connecting means such as a screw or nut and bolt.
Conveniently, the wiper apparatus is provided with means for adjusting the position of the brush assembly relative to the mounting element. When the assembled wiper apparatus is attached to a visor in use, adjusting the position of the brush assembly relative to the mounting element has the effect of optimising the positioning of the brush to clear the desired area of the visor as effectively as possible.
In one embodiment, the means for adjusting the position of the brush assembly comprises elongated apertures through which the connecting means for connecting the brush assembly to the mounting element, or to the connecting element, can pass. By varying the position of the brush assembly relative to the mounting element in this way, the orientation and height setting of the brush with respect to the visor surface can readily and easily be adjusted as desired.
In one particular embodiment, the brush assembly is connected to the mounting element by means of a connecting element and the means for adjusting the position of the brush assembly relative to the mounting element are provided on said connecting element.
The mounting element for engaging the drive means suitably comprises a gear. In one embodiment, the mounting element for engaging the drive means comprises a flanged gear rack. The flange has the advantage of imparting added strength to the mechanism, thereby allowing better gear meshing.
In one embodiment, the mounting element may suitably be formed from plastics material. The use of light weight plastics means that the visor weight can be kept to a minimum, allowing the visor to be opened as required.
The mounting element may he attached directly to the external surface of a visor but in one particular embodiment the mounting element is conveniently mounted in a housing which is itself attachable to the external surface of a visor. Suitably, the housing may be formed from a flexible plastics material to enable it to be adapted to fit the surface of the visor.
Where the mounting element comprises a gear rack which is not flanged, at least part or both edges of the rack may suitably be accommodated in the housing to maintain stability.
The drive means suitably comprises an electric motor which may conveniently be powered either by a battery pack, which may be rechargeable and which may be housed separately from the wiper assembly in a pocket, pouch or pack; via a quickly detachable plug and lead system; or by using auxiliary power sockets as can be found fitted to some motorcycles, snow mobiles and the like.
In one embodiment, the drive means is provided with a user-operated on/off switch which is preferably located at the side or on the top of the drive means for ease of access by the user.
The drive means are connected to the wiper apparatus to drive the at least one brush assembly from side to side across the external surface of a visor, the axis of movement being substantially perpendicular to the axis of the brush assembly.
In one embodiment, the drive means are mounted on the housing within which the mounting element to which the brush assembly is connected is housed. Where the mounting element comprises a flanged gear rack, the drive means is conveniently provided with a gear wheel which engages with the gear rack In a particular embodiment, the wiper apparatus is provided with a switch which is actuated when the brush assembly reaches the limit of its range of travel across the visor and which causes the drive means to reverse the direction of travel of the brush assembly.
Suitably, the switch to reverse the direction of travel of the brush assembly is actuated by the interaction of a triggering protrusion provided on the brush assembly with a triggering arm provided on the mounting element and located at the desired limit of the range of travel. In one embodiment, the switching circuit makes use of capacitors to allow a small reservoir of power to allow the motor to fully activate the switching circuit.
The wiper apparatus according to the invention is attachable to the external surface of a visor. In a particular embodiment, the wiper apparatus is reversibly attachable to the external surface of a visor. This has the advantage that the wiper apparatus can readily be detached from the visor upon impact in the event of an accident which is particularly important where the wiper apparatus is intended for use on a motorcycle crash helmet.
Suitable reversible attachment means which may be used include an adhesive ioop and hook two part pad system (Velcro TM) or flexible self adhesive magnetic pads. The use of such reversible attachment means allows the device to meet the most recent official standards for motorcycle crash helmets. It will be appreciated, however, that where ready release of the wiper apparatus from the visor surface is not required for safety reasons, the apparatus may be securely fixed to the visor by means of straps or permanently fixed by the use of machine screws or the like for use on safety visors other than for crash helmets.
In preferred embodiments of the aspects described above, the drive means and/or mounting element are provided with a waterproof cover to prevent fouling.
Although the wiper apparatus of the invention is particularly suited to use on motorcycle crash helmets, it can also suitably be used on chainsaw visors, security helmet visors, clear-vision panels, touring motorcycle windscreens, sidecar windscreens and workshop headsets employed when machining wood for example.
Throughout the description and claims of this specification, the words "comprise" and "contain" and variations of the words, for example "comprising" and "comprises", mean "including but not limited to", and do not exclude other moieties, additives, components, integers or steps.
Throughout the description and claims of this specification, the singular encompasses the plural unless the context otherwise requires. In particular, where the indefinite article is used, the specification is to be understood as contemplating plurality as well as singularity, unless the context requires otherwise.
Preferred features of each aspect of the invention may be as described in connection with any of the other aspects.
The invention may be further illustrated by way of example only with reference to the following figures in which:-Figure 1 shows a side view of a visor with a wiper apparatus according to the invention; Figure 2 shows a detail of one embodiment of the wiper apparatus with a mounting element housed in a curved housing; Figure 3 shows an exploded view of the mounting element of figure 2 with elements of the drive mechanism also shown; Figure 4 shows a detail of the drive mechanism of an embodiment of the invention; Figure 5 shows a circuit diagram of the control system for the drive means of an embodiment of the invention; Figure 6 shows a detail of the mounting of the motor to a gear rack in an embodiment of the invention; Figure 7 shows a detail of the mounting of a brush assembly; Figure 8 shows a wiper apparatus according to the invention attached to a visor on a crash helmet; Figure 9 shows covers for keeping the wiper apparatus according to the invention free from contaminants; Figure 10 shows an alternative embodiment of the wiper apparatus according to the invention with two brush assemblies.
Referring to the figures, there is illustrated an example of a visor (2) according to an embodiment of the present invention having a wiper apparatus.
In the embodiment shown in figure 1, the wiper apparatus comprises a tee grooved guide / housing (1) , in which a mounting element (a flanged gear rack (3) (MOl size) ), is housed, with a sliding fit. In operation the rack does not protrude beyond either end of the guide housing. In the embodiment shown in figure 1, the guide housing and the rack are both formed into a radius of approximately 160mm.
Referring again to figure 1, a sliding connecting element (support block (13)), flanged to fit the tee slot, is joined to the rack (3) via a screw through the brush holder (4) , which is joined on to the rack by a screw and nut. The mounting element (3), sliding connecting element (13) and brush are therefore interconnected and can move together along the guide / housing (1).
Attached to the top of the guide / housing is the drive control unit (5) , shown in figure 1 with a waterproof cover fitted.
Protruding below the drive control unit (5) is the drive shaft of the motor gearbox unit onto which is fitted a gear wheel (6), which in the embodiment shown is a 10 tooth gear wheel MOl size.
This gear engages with the rack (3) Also protruding is the arm of the Double Pole Double Throw switch (7) which is used to control the direction of rotation of the motor.
Activation of the switch (7) is by means of the trigger arm assembly (8a) and the protrusion (8b) on the brush carrier (4) To ensure that the full travel of the DPDT switch is made, 2 capacitors are wired into the control circuit to allow extra current to cover the midpoint of travel of the switch, when current flow is interrupted.
The mechanism is switched on and off by a Single Pole Single Throw switch with a waterproof cover (9) , that is fitted to either the top or side of the drive control unit cover (5) Power (conveniently 12 volt) is provided through a cable (10) that terminates in a suitable plug (11), either for use with a remote battery pack (8 x 1.5 volt D size batteries or 2 x 6 volt 4R255 batteries, available as single use or chargeable units) or from a vehicle's accessory socket.
When the rack assembly is moving it will pull or push the brush assembly (4 and 4a) along a curved path.
In the embodiment shown, the brush is attached to the brush holder by screws and nuts in elongated holes to allow adjustment to the contact position of the brush against the visor surface.
The travel of the brush in contact with the surface of the visor sweeps water etc. away in each direction of travel. In the embodiment shown, the length of the swept area is approximately 120mm.
The wiper assembly is fixed onto the visor either by use of ioop and hook fastening (Velcro TM) patches, of by a strap or by use of screws etc. As shown in figure 2, the curved flanged rack (3) slides in the curved guide housing (1) Figure 3 shows the makeup of the rack assembly (3) . The triggering arm (12) is joined on to the rack by use of a M3.5 screw (14a) through the arm into a tapped hole (16b) in the rack. At the other end of the rack, the sliding support block (13), is attached to both the brush carrier (4) and the rack (2) by use of screws (14b, 14c) nut (15) , and tapped hole (16a) A mounting plate (17) holding the motor gearbox unit (18) , the DPDT switch (7) and the capacitors (19a, 19b) is shown in figure 4. The mounting plate is secured to the rear of the guide / housing by 2 screws and nuts.
Figure 5 shows a circuit diagram of the control system for the motor / gearbox. This circuit uses 2 capacitors -24 volt 470uf, connected in parallel with the motor, but in opposite polarity, to allow one to be charged up when current is flowing, in either direction, as when the motor is powered up in each direction. This arrangement allows for a reserve of charge to be available to the motor whilst the switch changes from one position to the other. Without these capacitors, the triggering arm and triggering protrusion cannot fully operate the switch to allow reversal of the motor. Other switching methods using integrated circuits are possible, but this system is simple and low cost.
The mounting plate (17) of figure 4 is shown in further detail in figure 6. To accommodate the motor / gearbox the sheet metal, in this case aluminium is formed into a circular enclosure, to allow the motor / gearbox to be clamped in place so that the rack and the gear teeth can mesh properly.
The mounting plate also houses the DPDT switch, allowing it to be positioned so as to be actuated by the triggering arm and protrusion, without fouling the moving rack.
The mounting plate is attached to both the top and bottom of the guide housing to provide a rigid assembly.
Figure 7 shows the mounting of the brush assembly in more detail. Adjustment of the brush's angle and height is provided through the use of 2 elongated slots and screw nut arrangement (19) Figure 8 shows the wiper assembly attached to a visor on a crash helmet. A cover is provided to prevent the rack from contamination from debris and water.
Most crash helmets have a similar radius in their front aspects.
The guide housing and rack can accommodate a degree of flexing to allow fitment to slightly differing curves.
A range of possible covers, some fixed above the rack and others following the brush assembly in its course, with some form of telescoping which may be employed is shown in figure 9. Such covers may be formed in one moulding, for example by vacuum or injection moulding, or individual components such as the motor assembly and rack can have separate covers. In an alternative embodiment (not shown) such static covers may be replaced by covers that extend and contract as the brush assembly moves across the visor.
An alternative embodiment comprising a second brush secured via the triggering arm is illustrated in figure 10. This provides an improved cleared area, suitable for large visors. This assembly is shown compared to the triggering arm used with the single brush assembly. As this two brush assembly is heavier, two mounting screws are used for more secure mounting.
