Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a guard for the safe storage of a protective head helmet of the type worn by the driver or rider of a motorcycle, automobile or other vehicle, and, more specifically to a guard formed of a plurality of lengths or strands of supple metal material, preferably lengths of metallic chain, which are interconnected in such a manner that they envelop or surround the helmet and form a secure enclosure therefor when said guard is locked or otherwise secured to the vehicle or other secure anchorage.
  • FIGURE is a perspective view of a helmet guarding device embodying the present invention; it being in open position substantially as it would be if a helmet were placed within it.
  • a metal ring l is located at the lower end or bottom and secured thereto are four vertically extending lengths of chain 2 each of which is at its upper end secured to an individual metal ring 3.
  • the rings 6 and 7 are interconnected by horizontally extending lengths of chain 8, one end of each being secured to a ring 6 and the other end being secured to a ring 7.
  • the length of chains 2 is such that the rings 3 are positioned at substantially the vertical midpoint of the guard and that the length of chains 4 is such that the lower portion of the guard freely envelops (embraces, but does not bind) the helmet when placed within it.
  • the length of chains 4 is substantially equal so that the chains 2 and 5 are approximately ninety degrees apart.
  • the length of chains and 8 is such that the top or upper portionof the guard similarly envelopes the helmet.
  • the length of chains 8 is substantially equal so that the upper ends of chains 5 and the rings 6 and 7 are approximately ninety degrees apart.
  • One end of a length of chain 9 is secured to each ring 6.
  • the other end of one of the chains 9 is secured to a ring 10 carried by the body of a lock 11, and the other end of the other chain 9 is secured to a ring 12 which is part of the bolt 13 of the lock 11.
  • Each ring 7 has secured to it one end of a length of chain 14 and the other ends of said chains 14 are both secured to the ring 10 carried by lock 11.
  • chains 15 are secured at one end to each ring 7 and the other ends thereof are secured to ring 12 carried by the bolt 13.
  • the lengths of chains 14 are such that the ring 10 with its associated lock 11 and the chains 14 may be freely moved or swung outwardly until it and the chains 14 are outside the chains 8 and ring 6, or at least not inside the same.
  • the lengths of chains 15 are such that ring l2 carried by the lock bolt 13 and said chains 15 may be freely moved or swung outwardly of the chains 8 and ring 6, or at least not limited to a point or points inside the same.
  • the chain 9, interconnecting rings 10 and 6, and the other chain 9, interconnecting rings 12 and 6, are of a length such that in cooperation with their respective associated chains 14 and 15, two freely movable flap elements are formed whereby when the rings 10 and l2 and their respective associated chains 14 and 15 are moved outwardly of chains 8 the guard is entirely open at its top whereby a helmet may be placed within it or removed therefrom.
  • the flaps attached at their apexes to rings 10 and 12
  • the lock l1 form a closure for the top of the guard so that the helmet is securely retained therein.
  • the guard may be held by the user immediately adjacent, preferably below a frame, structural or other member of the motorcycle and the flaps extended over the upper or opposite side of said member, and then locking the flaps together by means of lock 1l and bolt 13, thereby causing the guard containing the helmet to be secured to the vehicle whereby the same are secured so as to be highly resistant to theft or pilferage.
  • the chain should have a smooth exterior so that it will not scratch finished surfaces.
  • lt should be of stainless steel or well plated with chromium or other suitable non-rusting, non-tarnishing material.
  • the final tempering step for the chain should follow the completion of the assembly of the guard.
  • a guard for securing head helmets comprising in combination:
  • first series of transversely extending lengths of said material said first series of transversely extending lengths being secured at an intermediate point of said plurality of vertical lengths; whereby each of said vertical lengths are held in a horizontal spaced relationship relative to one another, said first series of transverse lengths also serving as an intermediate perimeter of said guard;
  • a further plurality of series of lengths of supple metal material connected to said upper perimeter and defining a series of triangular flap-like members, said flap-like members being adapted to be moved away from one another so as to open the top of said guard for the insertion therein or removal therefrom of a helmet, one of said flap-like members being adapted to be moved toward another of said flap-like members so as to form a closure for the top of said guard;
  • each of said flap-like members comprises a yet further plurality of lengths of supple metal material secured at spaced points to said upper perimeter of said guard such that said flap like members are flexibly secured to substantially opposite sides of said upper perimeter.
  • each of said flap-like members comprises three lengths of metal chain, one said length of chain being secured to said upper perimeter and each of the other two of said lengths of chain being secured to said upper perimeter at substantially equidistant points substantially removed from the point at which said first named lengths of chain is secured.
  • a guard for securing head helmets comprising in combination:
  • a first series of transversely extending lengths of twisted link chain said first series of transversely extending lengths being secured to an intermediate point of said vertical lengths to retain the intermediate points of said vertical lengths in a horizontally spaced apart relationship and defining an intermediate perimeter of said guard;
  • each of a first plurality of rings being disposed at the intersection of each of said first series of transversely extending lengths and corresponding ones of said vertical lengths;
  • each of a second plurality of rings being disposed at the intersection of each of said second series of transversely extending lengths and the upper ends of corresponding ones of said vertical lengths;
  • a further series of lengths of twisted link chain connected to said upper perimeter, at least one of said further series of lengths being adapted to be moved apart from another of said further series of lengths to open the top of said guard for the insertion therein or removal therefrom of a helmet and adapted to be moved toward another of said further series to form a closure for the top of said guard.
