Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to the sector of providing protection by means of an airbag, so as to protect a user from impacts due to falling or sliding, when travelling on a means of transport, such as a vehicle, preferably a two-wheeled vehicle, or any other means of transport, such as a horse or other animal, sports equipment, such as a pair of skis or a bobsleigh, or similar means of transport, or to protect a user when performing any activity also without transport means.
  • a means of transport such as a vehicle, preferably a two-wheeled vehicle, or any other means of transport, such as a horse or other animal, sports equipment, such as a pair of skis or a bobsleigh, or similar means of transport, or to protect a user when performing any activity also without transport means.
  • the present disclosure relates to a container for a gas generator, for example a container designed to be placed on the back or flank of a user, namely in a zone of a user's body.
  • the present disclosure also relates to an inflation device, including the aforementioned container or gas generator for inflating an inflatable element for protecting a user in the event of falls and/or impacts of various types.
  • an inflation device including the aforementioned container or gas generator for inflating an inflatable element for protecting a user in the event of falls and/or impacts of various types.
  • protection devices including an inflatable element, namely airbag, which are inflated, in the event of an impact, by an inflation device in fluid communication with the airbag itself.
  • this inflation device consists of a fluid source, such as a cylindrical compressed-gas canister, which is fixed to the back portion of a protection device or a garment or arranged inside a back protector.
  • a fluid source such as a cylindrical compressed-gas canister
  • the known inflation devices comprise a support structure which is formed by plates or other rigid mechanical components generally arranged in the region of the user's spinal column.
  • This support structure is designed to support the gas generator(s) and is generally connected to a protection garment comprising an inflatable element.
  • WO01/54523A1 discloses a container for a cylindrical compressed gas canister.
  • the present disclosure is based on a recognition by the inventor of the present disclosure that the inflation devices such as those made available hitherto by the prior art, while being advantageous from many points of view, have not always been sufficient to ensure satisfactory mobility and comfort during use by a user.
  • the inflation devices have been hitherto designed and arranged on protective garments so as to prevent them from being dangerous for the user in the event of falls, but without paying too much attention to the question of ensuring the freedom of movement of the user and the comfort during use in general.
  • the known inflation devices may not be easily removed from a protection garment by a user. This means that the user may not, autonomously, separate the inflation device from the protective garment in order to perform, for example, washing of the garment or replacement of the compressed-gas canister.
  • the starting point of the present disclosure is that of providing a wearable inflation device for an inflatable element, which is able to satisfy all the aforementioned requirements with reference to the prior art and/or achieve further advantages.
  • the present disclosure in order to improve the comfort, it is proposed to improve the ergonomic form of the inflation device overall and to make it more suitable for the shape of the body.
  • a container which includes a curved casing body.
  • the curved casing body may be easily adapted to the curved shape of the body and may be placed so as to fit perfectly against the flank of a user or the user's back.
  • the casing body includes a seat or channel having a form suitable for receiving the canister-shaped gas generator.
  • the seat may be cylindrical or have another shape suitable for receiving the canister-shaped gas generator.
  • the generator in order to adapt the canister-shaped gas generator to the shape of the body, the generator is inserted inside a casing which is curved and more suitable for the anatomy of the human body.
  • the casing body is a body made of a soft material which may be removed from the canister-shaped gas generator.
  • the casing body is preferably a body able to ensure the cushioning of knocks or impacts.
  • the casing body and the canister-shaped gas generator may be handled together as a single body and removed form a personal protection device or a garment with which they are associated, for example for replacement of the gas generator.
  • each embodiment of the subject of the present disclosure may have one or more of the advantages listed above; in any case it is not required that each embodiment should have simultaneously all the advantages listed.
  • an embodiment of a container for a gas generator is denoted overall by the reference number 1.
  • a gas generator is indicated by the reference number 2.
  • the canister-shaped gas generator 2 may be a canister containing compressed cold gas, such as helium.
  • the canister may be provided with a respective shut-off valve (not shown).
  • the inflation fluid source may comprise gas generators preferably of the pyrotechnic or other hybrid type or other types known according to the state of the art.
  • the assembly including the gas generator 2 and the container 1 for the gas generator 1 is called an inflation device, denoted generally by the reference number 3.
  • the inflation device 3 is connected by means of cables to a control unit (not shown in the drawings) which allows activation of the inflation to be controlled.
  • the present disclosure also relates to an inflation device 3 comprising the container 1 and a canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • a further subject of the present disclosure consists of a personal protection device 4 for the personal protection of a user.
  • This personal protection device 4 is a device including, in addition to the inflation device 3, an inflatable element 5 or airbag, in fluid communication with this inflation device 3 and intended to protect at least partly the torso of a user.
  • the inflation device 3 is intended to be positioned in a flank region or lumbar region of the user's torso, inside the inflatable element 5, as can be seen in Figure 3 .
  • the present disclosure also relates to a wearable article or protective garment, generally indicated by the number 6 in Figure 3 and comprising a personal protection device 4 as defined above.
  • the personal protection devices 4 together with the airbags and the protective garments which include said airbags are personal protection devices which are known to the person skilled in the art and therefore are not further described in the present patent application.
  • the inflation device 3 is in fluid communication with the inflatable element 5 so as to convey, once activated, inflation fluid into the inflatable element 5 and allow inflation thereof.
  • the inflation device 3 is, as mentioned, connected to the control unit by means of which inflation may be activated.
  • the protection device 4 is adapted to cooperate with special activation means (normally consisting of the aforementioned control unit and sensors) which are for example operationally connected to the canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the container 1 for a canister-shaped gas generator 2 comprises a casing body 10 having a curved profile.
  • the casing body is curved, namely the casing body has an external surface 101 having a substantially tubular form which defines a curved profile thereof.
  • the external surface 101 follows an at least partially curvilinear trajectory.
  • the external surface 101 has a progression which is partly arched, curvilinear or curved.
  • the external profile of the casing body 10 is especially shaped so as to adapt to the anatomy of a user's torso, in particular the anatomy of a flank region or a lumbar region of a user's torso.
  • the casing body 10 therefore follows a curved trajectory, according to a given radius of curvature R.
  • the radius of curvature R is chosen so as to correspond to the anatomical curved shape of the flank of a user's body or the lumbar region of a user's back.
  • the container 1 may be rested and especially made so as to "fit” or “match” the anatomical curvature of a user's torso.
  • the entire casing body is therefore curved.
  • the casing body 10 is a hollow body, namely it has a cavity for receiving the gas generator.
  • the casing body 10 is provided with a cavity or channel 103 configured to house a conventional canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the channel 103 therefore has a form and dimensions such as to be able to receive inside it a conventional canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the known gas generators 2, which are used in the context of personal protection devices generally comprise canisters which have an at least partially cylindrical form. Therefore, the channel 103 acts as a seat for housing a canister-shaped gas generator 2, which preferably has a cylindrical form.
  • the channel 103 is formed at least partially inside the casing body 10.
  • the channel 102 is an internal cavity of the casing body.
  • the casing body 10 surrounds, at least partly, the canister-shaped gas generator 2 and acts as protective covering for the canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the container 1 is configured so as to protect the canister-shaped gas generator 2 and allow positioning of the latter in a region, such as the flank or the lumbar region, occupying a minimum amount of space and hindering as little as possible the movements of the user, while at the same time housing the canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the container 1 therefore allows the gas generator to be positioned so as to occupy an anatomical hollow zone of a user's torso.
  • the canister-shaped gas generator 2 may be positioned so as to minimize the overall volume presented to the user.
  • the casing body 10 has a longitudinal cross-section, along the main direction S, which has a substantially C-shaped form, with a first convex flank or side 10' on one side of the channel 103, and a second concave side or flank 10" on the other side of the channel 103.
  • the casing body 10 extends principally along a main direction S parallel to or coinciding with the development axis A of the channel 103.
  • the channel 103 is oriented in the main direction S along which the casing body 10 extends.
  • the casing body 10 and the channel 103 extend mainly on the same direction. Consequently, the housing body 10 is a substantially tubular body.
  • the casing body 10 has, furthermore, an internal surface 102 opposite to the aforementioned external surface 101.
  • the internal surface 102 delimits or surrounds the channel 103.
  • the channel 103 extends mainly along its own development axis A.
  • the channel 103 therefore has a substantially elongated or oblong form, along this development axis A.
  • a conventional cannister-shaped gas generator 2 which has an elongated cylindrical form, may be received completely, or at least partly, over most of its length inside the channel 103.
  • the internal surface 102 is intended to be completely in contact with a canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the internal surface 102 rests or lies on the canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the internal surface 102 adheres to the canister-shaped gas generator 2. In this way no empty spaces, or play, is present between the internal surface 102 and the canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the casing body 10 is therefore configured to surround tightly the canister-shaped gas generator 2. In this way relative movements of the canister-shaped gas generator 2 with respect to the casing body 10 surrounding it are prevented. Consequently, therefore, during use, the canister-shaped gas generator 2 is firmly retained inside the channel 103.
  • the casing body 10 is a single body, i.e. a monolithic body.
  • the casing body 10 is made of soft material, such as silicone or other material.
  • the container 1 is made of a flexible and/or elastically yielding material.
  • the container 1 is made of an elastomeric material; for example, the container 1 may be made of silicone, rubber or latex. In this way, the container 1 is made so as to be particularly flexible and able to cushion both the impacts which could affect the gas generator and the bruising which, in the event of a fall, the inflation device 3 may cause for the user.
  • the soft and flexible material also allows easy unsheathing of the casing body 10, as can be seen in Figure 4 .
  • the casing body 10 extends between a first end 103 and a second end 105.
  • the first end 104 and the second end 105 are opposite to each other.
  • At least one of the first end 104 and the second end 105 has or is provided with an opening 106.
  • the opening 106 communicates with the channel 103 so as to allow access to the canister-shaped gas generator 2.
  • the through-opening 106 may be in the form of a slot or through-hole.
  • the channel 103 is therefore open towards the outside.
  • the canister-shaped gas generator 2 may be inserted into or extracted from the channel 103 through the opening 106 during use.
  • the canister-shaped gas generator 2 may be connected to the control unit through the opening 106.
  • the other end 104 of the casing body 10 is dome or cap-shaped and defines a cavity opening out on one side with the channel 103 and communicating with an environment outside the channel 103.
  • the gas output nozzle of the canister-shaped gas generator 2 is directed towards the cavity 111.
  • said cavity 111 is configured to direct, orient or steer a gas flow exiting the canister-shaped gas generator 2 towards the airbag 5.
  • the casing body 10 may also include a central opening 112 which facilitates unsheathing, as shown in Figure 4 .
