Description
contatto con la calotta stessa e sono previste nelle posizioni che si possono ragionevolmente ritenere maggiormente esposte al rischio di urti. contact with the shell itself and are foreseen in the positions that can reasonably be considered most exposed to the risk of collisions.
RELAZIONE RELATION
L?oggetto del presente trovato ? costituito da una struttura di casco sportivo, provvista di uno o pi? elementi di rinforzo, inseriti fra la calotta e l'imbottitura di protezione. The object of the present invention? consisting of a sports helmet structure, provided with one or more? reinforcement elements, inserted between the shell and the protective padding.
Come ? noto, i caschi sportivi in genere ed, in particolare, i caschi per motociclisti, sia di tipo integrale, ossia aventi una fascia continua anteriore al di sotto della visiera, a protezione del mento, sia di tipo "jet", ossia privi di tale fascia continua, o mentoniera, comprendono una calotta, ottenuta con dell?idoneo materiale rigido e presentante una adeguata resistenza meccanica, all?interno della quale ? applicato uno strato di una imbottitura protettiva, portante, a sua volta, una imbottitura di conforto. How ? known, sports helmets in general and, in particular, helmets for motorcyclists, both of the integral type, i.e. having a continuous front band below the visor, to protect the chin, and of the "jet" type, i.e. without such continuous band, or chin guard, include a shell, obtained with a suitable rigid material and presenting an adequate mechanical resistance, inside which? applied a layer of a protective padding, bearing, in turn, a comfort padding.
E? altrettanto noto che la calotta precitata pu? essere vantaggiosamente ottenuta mediante un procedimento di termoformatura, a partire da ABS, policarbonato o simi1i. AND? also known that the aforementioned cap can? be advantageously obtained by means of a thermoforming process, starting from ABS, polycarbonate or the like.
Tali procedimento e materiali, infatti, consentono di ottenere dei prodotti di adeguata resistenza meccanica e di costo notevolmente contenuto. These processes and materials, in fact, make it possible to obtain products with adequate mechanical resistance and a remarkably low cost.
D?altra parte, un casco per motociclisti pu? risultare assoggettato, in caso di incidenti, ad urti anche molto violenti. On the other hand, a motorcycle helmet can? be subjected, in the event of accidents, to even very violent impacts.
In particolare, qualora tali urti si verifichino contro degli ostacoli presentanti degli spigoli, possono facilmente provocare delle indesiderate rotture e/o fessurazioni del casco medesimo. In particular, if such impacts occur against obstacles with edges, they can easily cause unwanted breakages and / or cracks in the helmet itself.
La suddetta circostanza, ovviamente, ? suscettibile di comportare dei gravi pericoli per il motociclista, a causa della mancata od insufficiente protezione. The aforementioned circumstance, of course,? likely to cause serious dangers for the motorcyclist, due to lack of or insufficient protection.
Compito del presente trovato ? quello di eliminare gli inconvenienti precedentemente lamentati, realizzando un casco sportivo, il quale sia provvisto di elementi di rinforzo, in corrispondenza di una, o pi?, della sue porzioni superficiali. Purpose of the present invention? that of eliminating the previously mentioned drawbacks, making a sports helmet, which is provided with reinforcing elements, in correspondence with one or more of its surface portions.
Nell'ambito del compito precitato, uno scopo particolare del presente trovato ? quello di realizzare un casco sportivo, la cui resistenza meccanica risulti, di conseguenza, notevolmente accresciuta, rispetto ai tradizionali caschi in materiali termoformabili. Within the scope of the aforementioned aim, a particular object of the present invention? that of making a sports helmet, whose mechanical resistance is consequently significantly increased compared to traditional helmets made of thermoformable materials.
Un altro scopo del presente trovato ? quello di realizzare un casco sportivo, il quale sia in grado di offrire una maggiore sicurezza all?utente ed il cui costo risulti comunque contenuto. Another object of the present invention? that of making a sports helmet, which is able to offer greater safety to the user and whose cost is in any case contained.
Il suddetto compito, nonch? gli scopi sopra accennati ed altri, che potranno, eventualmente, apparire meglio evidenziati in seguito, vengono conseguiti da un casco sportivo, secondo il trovato, caratterizzato dal fatto di inglobare, fra la calotta e l?imbottitura di protezione, una o pi? placche in fibre di kevlar, opportunamente modellate; tali placche possono essere fissate sulla faccia interna della calotta o sulla faccia dell?imbottitura destinata a venire a contatto con la calotta stessa e sono previste nelle posizioni che si ritengono maggiormente esposte ai rischi. The aforementioned task, as well as? the aforementioned and other purposes, which may possibly appear better highlighted later, are achieved by a sports helmet, according to the invention, characterized by incorporating, between the cap and the protective padding, one or more? plates in Kevlar fibers, suitably modeled; these plates can be fixed on the inner face of the shell or on the face of the padding intended to come into contact with the shell itself and are provided in the positions considered most exposed to risks.
Ulteriori caratteristiche e vantaggi del casco sportivo, che costituisce l'oggetto del presente Brevetto di Invenzione, potranno essere meglio compresi mediante l?ausilio della seguente descrizione di forme preferite di esecuzione della struttura del casco medesimo, illustrate, a titolo puramente indicativo, nelle varie figure dei disegni allegati, in cui: Further characteristics and advantages of the sports helmet, which is the subject of this invention patent, can be better understood with the aid of the following description of preferred embodiments of the structure of the helmet itself, illustrated, purely by way of example, in the various figures of the attached drawings, in which:
in figura 1, ? mostrata, schematicamente, una sezione verticale di tale casco; in figure 1,? schematically shown a vertical section of this helmet;
in figura 2, ? rappresentata una vista parziale dell'imbottitura di protezione del suddetto casco; in figure 2,? shown a partial view of the protective padding of the aforesaid helmet;
in figura 3, ? illustrata una sezione della calotta, sagomata in modo da poter vincolare ad incastro una placca in fibre di kevlar; in figure 3,? illustrated a section of the cap, shaped so as to be able to interlock a plate in kevlar fibers;
nelle figure 4, 5 e 6, sono mostrate altrettante possibili sagomature della superficie esterna dell'imbottitura protettiva del casco, in modo che la stessa presenti delle sedi per l'alloggiamento di corrispondenti placche di rinforzo. Figures 4, 5 and 6 show as many possible shapes of the outer surface of the protective padding of the helmet, so that it has seats for housing corresponding reinforcing plates.
Con particolare riferimento ai simboli numerici delle varie figure dei disegni allegati, il casco sportivo, in oggetto, risulta costituito, al pari dei caschi tradizionali, da una calotta, (1), di tipo integrale o di tipo jet - ottenuta con dell'idoneo materiale termoformabile - all'interno della quale ? sistemata una imbottitura di protezione, (2), una imbottitura di conforto, (3), nonch? un paranuca, <4), ed, eventualmente, ove richiesta, una mentoniera, (5). With particular reference to the numerical symbols of the various figures of the attached drawings, the sports helmet in question is constituted, like traditional helmets, by a shell, (1), of the integral or jet type - obtained with suitable thermoformable material - inside which? placed a protective padding, (2), a comfort padding, (3), as well as? a neck roll, <4), and, if required, a chin guard, (5).
Il casco secondo il trovato, comunque, si caratterizza per il fatto di inglobare, fra la calotta e 1? imbottitura di protezione, precitate, una o pi? placche sagomate (6), ottenute con delle fibre di kevlar, trattate in modo da concretizzare delle lastre rigide. The helmet according to the invention, however, is characterized by the fact that it incorporates, between the cap and 1? protective padding, aforementioned, one or more? shaped plates (6), obtained with Kevlar fibers, treated in such a way as to create rigid plates.
Queste ultime, ovviamente, presentano uno sviluppo superficiale corrispondente alla porzione di superficie della calotta, alla quale sono destinate a venire a contatto. The latter obviously have a surface development corresponding to the surface portion of the cap to which they are intended to come into contact.
Le medesime lastre rigide, o placche, in particolare, possono venire vincolate, in base alle convenienze produttive, sulla faccia interna della calotta o sulla faccia corrispondente dell'imbottitura. The same rigid plates, or plates, in particular, can be constrained, according to production convenience, on the inner face of the shell or on the corresponding face of the padding.
Pi? precisamente, le placche possono essere ancorate, all?una od all'altra della facce precitate, mediante incollaggio, tramite degli opportuni adesivi, o mediante la predisposizione di apposite sedi, ricavate sulle facce stesse e suscettibili di vincolarle per ritenuta ad incastro. Pi? precisely, the plates can be anchored to one or the other of the aforementioned faces, by gluing, by means of suitable adhesives, or by the provision of special seats, obtained on the faces themselves and capable of binding them for interlocking retention.
In ogni caso, sulla faccia superiore dello strato di imbottitura protettiva sono previste delle sedi, (7), per l?alloggiamento, con vincolo ad incastro o meno, delle singole placche. In any case, on the upper face of the protective padding layer there are seats, (7), for housing, with or without interlocking constraint, the individual plates.
Qualora si vogliano vincolare le placche, ad incastro, sulla faccia interna della calotta, viceversa, si definiranno, su quest'ultima, mediante risalti, (8), continui o discontinui, degli alloggiamenti, atti a ritenere le placche stesse. If you want to fix the plates, by interlocking, on the internal face of the cap, vice versa, on the latter, there will be defined, on the latter, by means of continuous or discontinuous projections (8), suitable for holding the plates themselves.
Le suddette placche di rinforzo, in particolare, vengono vantaggiosamente posizionate in corripondenza delle porzioni di calotta che possono ritenersi, statisticamente, le pi? soggette ad urti. The aforesaid reinforcement plates, in particular, are advantageously positioned in correspondence with the portions of the cap which can be considered, statistically, the largest ones. subject to shocks.
E' opportuno, comunque, precisare che, in via alternativa, pu? anche essere prevista una placca di rinforzo che rivesta completamente l?imbottitura protettiva inserita nella calotta. E 'should, however, specify that, alternatively, can? There is also a reinforcement plate that completely covers the protective padding inserted in the shell.
Mediante tali accorgimenti, in sostanza, le parti aggettanti di eventuali oggetti appuntiti, o di conformazione comunque irregolare, che, venendo a contatto violentemente con il casco, risutano in grado di perforarlo, possono essere efficacemente bloccate dalle interposte placche. By means of these expedients, in essence, the projecting parts of any pointed objects, or of anyway irregular shape, which, coming into violent contact with the helmet, are able to perforate it, can be effectively blocked by the interposed plates.
Da quanto esposto in precedenza e dall'osservazione delle varie figure dei disegni allegati, risultano evidenti la maggiore funzionalit? e la praticit? di impiego, che caratterizzano il casco sportivo, costituente l'oggetto del presente Brevetto di Invenzione. From the foregoing and from the observation of the various figures of the attached drawings, the greater functionality is evident. and the practicality? of use, which characterize the sports helmet, which is the subject of this Invention Patent.
Ovviamente, tale casco ? stato precedentemente descritto ed illustrato a puro titolo di esempio indicativo, ma non limitativo, ed al solo scopo di dimostrazione della pratica attuabilit? e delle caratteristiche generali della presente Invenzione, per cui, allo stesso, potranno essere apportate tutte quelle varianti e modifiche alla portata di un esperto del ramo e suscettibili di rientrare nell?ambito dei concetti innovativi sopra esposti. Obviously, such a helmet? was previously described and illustrated purely by way of indicative, but not limiting example, and for the sole purpose of demonstrating the practical feasibility? and of the general characteristics of the present invention, so that all those variations and modifications within the reach of an expert in the art and capable of falling within the scope of the innovative concepts described above can be made thereto.
