Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a helmet, in particular for users of motorized vehicles.
  • This helmet is more particularly intended for the drivers of motor vehicles and motorcycles, as well as for the passengers of the latter, but it can also be advantageously used in any activity involving risks of injury to the head, such as, for example, aviation. , ice sports, winter sports, professional activities, etc ...
  • Protective helmets have undergone profound transformations since their origin, essentially resulting from two fundamental objectives: the incorporation of new construction techniques and / or new materials, and the observation of more severe safety conditions, which have been set gradually. as experience, on often tragic occasions, has brought invaluable empirical data and general statistics. This is how, progressively, important innovations were introduced: manufacture of the external envelope on the basis of resins reinforced with layers of glass wool; use of flame retardant paints; integral structure; anti-inflammable and multi-layer visors for immediate removal of a layer in the event of contamination; anti-shock intermediate layer; interior upholstery with high shock absorption capacity; incorporation of electronic means for communication, etc ...
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.
  • this object is achieved by means of a helmet, the protective shell or rigid structure of which comprises a complementary upper part and lower part dimensioned so that one can be housed in the other and assembled by means of two opposite and coaxial articulations, said upper and lower parts being thus linked with a pivoting ability with respect to each other, said helmet further comprising locking means making it possible to rigidly couple said upper and lower parts along the plane median or substantially median of said helmet, in a developed position of use reconstituting the integral shape of the latter.
  • the helmet according to the invention provides the important new advantage of being able to be folded, outside of periods of use, so as to occupy a reduced volume equivalent to approximately half the volume that it presents when it is developed in position. of use, which greatly facilitates its transport and storage.
  • the helmet according to the invention can, moreover, be provided with all the desirable qualities of robustness and comfort, for example with regard to the component materials, the visor, the interior padding, the resistant complements and other arrangements or additional devices. , the invention does not constitute, in fact, an obstacle to the implementation of known techniques and means offering these qualities.
  • the pivoting of the visor can be obtained either conventionally by means of two independent articulations, or by means of the articulations by the intermediary of which the upper and lower parts of the helmet are assembled.
  • Such a helmet comprises a protective shell or rigid structure which, according to the invention, consists of a shell or upper part 1 and a shell or lower part 2. These two shells or complementary parts are dimensioned so that the one can be housed inside the other.
  • the shell or upper part 1 has an external volume less than the volume of the space available inside the lower part 2 of the helmet so as to be able to be accommodated, by plyotement, inside the latter, as explained later in this presentation.
  • This arrangement is advantageous, due to the fact that it is considered, in a conventional and practical manner that, during the folding or development maneuvers, it is the lower part 2 which remains stationary and constitutes the stable element of the together, while the upper shell 1 is the element mobile and rotary of said assembly. It is specified, however, that it is also possible to adopt a reverse arrangement according to which the shell or lower part 2 has an external volume less than the volume of the space available inside the upper part 1 of the helmet, so that it can be housed, by tilting, inside it.
  • the shells or upper 1 and lower 2 parts are assembled by means of two opposite and coaxial joints 4 and 5, which are advantageously arranged laterally.
  • the upper part 1 (or, optionally, the lower part 2) can pivot (FIGS. 2 and 5), either to retract completely in the housing reserved inside the lower part 2 (or, possibly , in the upper part 1), as shown in Figures 3 and 6, either to allow its coupling to said lower part along an equatorial or substantially equatorial line 3 of the helmet, or, in other words, along the median or substantially median plane of the latter, in order to reconstruct the integral shape of said helmet ( Figures 1 and 4).
  • the helmet according to the invention also comprises locking means making it possible to rigidly couple its upper 1 and lower 2 parts in the developed position of use of said helmet, reconstituting the integral shape of the latter.
  • the locking means comprise at least one sliding clamp 6 whose curved ends or opposite hooks can slide in grooves 7 and 8 formed, externally in the upper 1 and lower 2 shells, respectively, at proximity of the contiguous edges thereof and, preferably, in the rear half-part of said shells, said grooves being placed parallel when said shells are coupled, in the developed position of use.
  • unlocking allowing pivoting is possible thanks to a reduction in height or vertical passage formed in the bead delimiting any of the grooves 7 or 8, said passage allowing the release of the curved end of the sliding clamp 6 engaged in said groove and, consequently, the uncoupling of the upper 1 and lower 2 shells.
  • the device illustrated in FIG. 8 differs from the previous one, mainly by the fact that the beads 9 and 10 delimiting the locking grooves in which the curved ends of the sliding blocking crampon 11 are engaged, are arranged internally.
  • Figure 12 shows another slightly more complex locking means.
  • the edge of one of the cheeks is integral with an elastic blocking finger 21 intended to engage in a small keeper 22 formed in the edge of the second shell (shell lower 2), said finger comprising a beak coming automatically to hook onto a shoulder which has the outer wall of said keeper, when the edges of said shells are placed in contiguous coupling situation.
  • a pusher 12 carried by the shell provided with the keeper 22 and automatically recalled by a spring 13, makes it possible to push back the locking finger 21 and to unlock the shells.
  • This elastic coupling device facilitates locking and unlocking maneuvers.
  • the coupling edges 14 and 15 of the upper 1 and lower 2 parts, respectively, of the folding helmet according to the invention are provided in the rear portion of said complementary parts. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 12, the junction of these coupling edges 14 and 15 is not ensured by means of smooth surfaces, matte by means of complementary reliefs and hollows. This arrangement makes it possible to reinforce the rigidity of the folding helmet.
  • the coupling is of the male-female type, the assembly edge of one of the nipples (shell 1) being provided with a mortise 16, while the edge of assembly of the second shell (shell 2) is provided with a lug 17.
  • the coupling of the upper 1 and lower 2 parts is carried out by means of a snap-on assembly 18.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show that the post 17 of the male-female assembly can be provided either on the upper part 1 or on the lower part 2.
  • a good balance is obtained by providing separate spans along the opposite edges 14 and 15, so that in one of them the assembly conforms to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 10 and, in the other , corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, or else by placing the pin 17 alternately on the upper part 1 and on the lower part 2.
  • the folding helmet according to the invention can have any external shape allowing the pivoting of one of its complementary parts and its retraction in the other.
  • this helmet can be provided with its usual complements and equipment such as visor 19 and interior padding 20. It is understood that said padding 20 must have the appropriate shape to allow the pivoting of the upper part 1 (or, depending on the case, from the lower part 2), for folding or developing the helmet.
  • the visor 19 is fixed on the upper part l, by means of lateral articulations 23, opposite and coaxial, and these articulations are arranged at a distance from the articulations 4 and 5 from the upper 1 and lower 2 shells.
  • the joints 23 of the pivoting visor 19 are arranged above and behind the joints 4 and 5, when the upper 1 and lower 2 parts are coupled in the developed position. In this way, when the upper part 1 is retracted inside the lower part 2, by pivoting forwards, the visor 19 comes to surround the front portion of the latter, as shown in Figures 3 and 6, its joints 23 being placed, in this position, in front of the joints 4, 5 of said upper and lower parts.
