Definitions
- the present invention concerns a structure for protecting the back and the chest of a person against impacts, said structure being referred to below in short simply as
- the protection is intended to be used in the case of impacts due to falls during sports activities, such as downhill skiing, motorcycling, cycling or bobsleighing, which involve movements at speeds which may also be very high and where the person practising the sport does not have external protective structures (cockpits, roofs and the like).
- the patent application WO-A-99 04661 deals with the risks which may arise during the abovementioned sports activities and describes a protection to be fixed by means of braces, belts or the like, comprising two supports which are aligned vertically and joined together by means of a hinging button which is perpendicular to the user's spinal cord. This protection is limited to the user's back alone.
- the patent US-A-4,467,475 also discloses a structure in which the shields for protecting the back and chest, in particular of a motorcyclist, are held together by shoulder-pieces and are fixed along the sides by belts.
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a protection structure both for the chest and for the back of the user which eliminates said disadvantages.
- FIG. 1 shows the chest part of the protection structure according to the invention when worn and fastened
- FIG. 2 shows the back part of the protection structure according to Fig. 1 when worn and fastened
- FIG. 3 shows a view of the side of the said protection structure when worn and fastened
- - Fig. 4 is a view similar to that of Fig. 1 and shows the protection structure when worn but unfastened;
- - Fig. 5 shows a front view of the protection structure of the preceding figures alone when fastened;
- FIG. 6 shows a front view of the same protection structure when unfastened
- the reference number 10 denotes overall a protection structure according to the invention, which is usually arranged on the user's body underneath the garment which is normally worn for practising the sport.
- the structure 10 comprises a chest shield 12 for protecting the chest and a back shield 14 for protecting the back and having at the bottom two side pieces 18 for covering the lumbar zones.
- the invention envisages the use of four fastening elements or elastically extendable belts, two of which 2OA and 20B have one end fixed to the top of the back shield 14, in the vicinity of the user's shoulders, while the other two 2OC and 2OD have one end fixed to each of the said side pieces 18.
- the free ends of said four belts converge in front of the chest shield 12, approximately above the sternum, towards a snap-engaging/release mechanism which is denoted overall by the reference number 30 — see Figs. 1, 3, 5 and 7.
- the mechanism 30 consists of four parts, each of which is fixed to the free end of one of the belts 20, more precisely three keys or male elements 32 are fixed to the belts 20A, 2OB, 20C and a block or female element 34 is fixed to the belt 20D as well as to the chest shield 12. Consequently, the two shields 12 and 14 forming the protection 10 are connected permanently together by means of said belt 20D.
- the three keys 32 may be snap-engaged inside the block 34 and, by means of a release button 36 provided in the block 34, may be released (see Figs. 4 and 6). It is obvious how the invention achieves the predefined objects.
- the user may, by operating with one hand only the release button 36 provided on the block 34, release at the same time all the keys 32 in order to unfasten and remove the protection 10 from the user's body.
- the protection 10 since the belt 20D alone is left connecting together the two shields 12 and 14, the protection 10 may be removed from the user's body without removing beforehand the garment which is normally worn in order to practise the sport. This is possible because said protection 10 can be extracted laterally, along the sides, from underneath said garment.
- the belts may have four different fixing points on the chest shield 12 instead of only one: for example, it is sufficient to provide each belt with a male connector and arrange symmetrically the corresponding female connectors in the four corners of the shield 12. This solution may favour the stability of the protection structure on the user's body.
- the connectors may be conveniently of the rapid-release type.
- Another possibility is to use, as means for fixing the belts, strips of VelcroTM, buttons or snap fasteners, or simply to tie the belts in eyelets provided on the shield 12.
- the belts in the region of the shoulders may be joined together as a single key instead of having two separate keys 32 and likewise, instead of two separate belts it is possible to use a single belt which passes around the neck and engages with the back shield 14, for example passing through an eyelet thereof. Similarly all this is applicable to the belts 20 passing around the waist.
- cords, elastic strips or straps which may or may not adjustable as means for connecting together the two shields.
- the block 34 must not necessarily remain fixed to the chest shield 12: four non- permanent joining elements may be provided such that the two shields 12 and 14 may be completely separated or it is possible to fix permanendy to said shield 12 any one of the four joining elements.
