Description

L'invention concerne un casque pour conducteur de véhicules, et particulièrement pour conducteur de motocycles.The invention relates to a helmet for vehicle driver, and particularly for motorcycle drivers.

Dans ce domaine, on connaît de nombreux casques comportant généralement une coque sur laquelle est articulée une visière, éventuellement complétée par une partie de protection de la zone inférieure du visage de l'utilisateur, soit formée de façon intégrale avec la coque, soit de façon rapportée.In this field, there are many helmets generally comprising a shell on which is articulated a visor, optionally completed by a protective portion of the lower area of the face of the user, is formed integrally with the shell, or so reported.

La plupart des casques connus jusqu'à ce jour ne présentent aucun moyen connu pour filtrer l'air respiré par l'utilisateur. On connaît cependant du document GB2186194A un casque présentant un système de ventilation spécifique dans lequel une partie de masque est solidaire d'une partie de casque de protection du menton de sorte à placer le masque au niveau de la bouche et du nez du visage de l'utilisateur.Most helmets known to date have no known means for filtering the air breathed by the user. However, document is known GB2186194A a helmet having a specific ventilation system in which a mask portion is secured to a portion of the chin protection helmet so as to place the mask at the mouth and nose of the user's face.

Cette conception est inadaptable à tout type de casque, et à la morphologie du conducteur de véhicule.This design is unsuitable for any type of helmet, and the morphology of the driver of the vehicle.

Le document FR-A-2.700.747 divulgue un casque disposant d'un carénage intérieur pouvant avoir une fonction respiratoire. Ce carénage est soit strictement solidaire du mouvement de pivot de la visière par rapport à la coque, soit il est déverrouillé de la visière de sorte à pivoter par rapport à la coque suivant le même axe de rotation que la visière.The document FR-A-2700747 discloses a helmet having an inner fairing that can have a respiratory function. This fairing is either strictly integral with the pivoting movement of the visor relative to the shell, or it is unlocked from the visor so as to pivot relative to the shell along the same axis of rotation as the visor.

US-A-3.833.935 montre un casque dont la visière a un mouvement de relevage complexe. En partie basse, la visière reçoit fixement un masque. US Patent 3,833,935 shows a helmet whose visor has a complex lifting movement. In the lower part, the visor receives a mask.

Les techniques actuelles ne permettent pas une bonne adaptation du masque selon la morphologie du porteur car le masque suit la même liberté de mouvement que l'ensemble de la visière.The current techniques do not allow a good adaptation of the mask according to the morphology of the wearer because the mask follows the same freedom of movement as the entire visor.

La présente invention permet de remédier à tout ou partie de ces inconvénients et présente pour y parvenir un casque amélioré de sorte à être adaptable à la morphologie du conducteur. Un autre avantage de l'invention est qu'il est applicable à un très large panel de conception de casque, notamment des casques de type JET, ou encore des casques de type intégral.The present invention overcomes all or part of these disadvantages and presents to achieve an improved helmet so as to be adaptable to the morphology of the driver. Another advantage of the invention is that it is applicable to a very wide panel of helmet design, including helmets type JET, or helmets type integral.

L'invention permet, dans un cas avantageux, de régler la position relative du masque et du corps de la visière et ce quelque soit la position de la visière par rapport à la coque. L'ensemble suit donc ainsi sensiblement le même mouvement de relevage par rapport à la coque mais le masque peut être ajusté en position par rapport à la visière.The invention allows, in an advantageous case, to adjust the relative position of the mask and the body of the visor and whatever the position of the visor relative to the hull. The assembly thus follows substantially the same lifting movement relative to the shell but the mask can be adjusted in position relative to the visor.

D'autres buts et avantages apparaîtront dans la description qui suit, qui présente un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention.Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description, which presents a preferred embodiment of the invention.

La présente invention concerne un casque pour conducteur de véhicule, comportant un écran monté en rotation relativement à une coque, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un masque respiratoire monté sur la face intérieure de l'écran de sorte à être positionnable en face du nez et de la bouche du conducteur.The present invention relates to a helmet for a vehicle driver, comprising a screen mounted in rotation relative to a hull, characterized in that it comprises a breathing mask mounted on the inner face of the screen so as to be positionable in front of the nose and mouth of the driver.

Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples et ne sont pas limitatifs de l'invention. Ils représentent seulement un mode de réalisation de l'invention et permettront de la comprendre aisément.The accompanying drawings are given by way of example and are not limiting of the invention. They represent only one embodiment of the invention and will make it easy to understand.

Les figures 1 à 4 illustrent un casque conformément à l'invention suivant différentes positions successives de ses composants depuis une position active jusqu'à une position ouverte inactive.The Figures 1 to 4 illustrate a helmet according to the invention according to different successive positions of its components from an active position to an inactive open position.

Les figures 5 à 10 présentent différents composants du casque selon l'invention.The Figures 5 to 10 present different components of the helmet according to the invention.

La figure 5 présente un mode de réalisation de visière, la figure 6 un exemple de masque respiratoire utilisable, la figure 7 une possibilité de réalisation d'une partie mobile en rotation, et la figure 8 un exemple de coque de casque.The figure 5 presents a visor embodiment, the figure 6 an example of a usable respirator, the figure 7 a possibility of realization of a moving part in rotation, and the figure 8 an example of a helmet shell.

Les figures 9 et 10 sont respectivement une vue de dessus de la visière et de la partie mobile en rotation.The Figures 9 and 10 are respectively a top view of the visor and the moving part in rotation.

Le casque ici proposé comporte de façon commune une coque 1 sur laquelle est articulé un écran 2 par exemple par le biais d'un axe de rotation 8 comportant des organes de liaison en rotation sur chaque flanc de la coque 1.The helmet proposed herein commonly comprises a shell 1 on which a screen 2 is articulated, for example by means of an axis of rotation 8 comprising rotational connecting members on each side of the shell 1.

L'écran comporte généralement une partie transparente permettant la vision du conducteur.The screen generally includes a transparent portion allowing the driver's vision.

Tel que représenté aux figures 1 à 4, dans le cadre de l'invention, l'écran 2 présente un masque respiratoire 9 apte à être positionné au regard du nez et de la bouche du conducteur. Un tel positionnement est présenté en figure 1. A ce niveau, on remarque que le masque 9 s'applique parfaitement au visage du conducteur, et ce quelque soit sa morphologie.As represented in Figures 1 to 4 , in the context of the invention, the screen 2 has a breathing mask 9 adapted to be positioned in front of the nose and the mouth of the driver. Such positioning is presented in figure 1 . At this level, we note that the mask 9 is perfectly applicable to the driver's face, whatever its morphology.

Pour améliorer encore cette adaptation, il est avantageux que le casque présente des moyens de réglage de la position du masque respiratoire en fonction des proportions du visage du conducteur.To further improve this adaptation, it is advantageous for the helmet to have means for adjusting the position of the breathing mask according to the proportions of the driver's face.

Tel que représenté, des moyens de réglage sont formés en réalisant un écran 2 en deux parties, à savoir une partie montée en rotation 4, relativement à la coque 1 autour de l'axe 8, et une partie sur laquelle est montée le masque respiratoire 9. Dans l'exemple représenté, cette seconde partie est réalisée sous forme d'une visière 3 dans la zone inférieure de laquelle est fixé le masque 9. La visière 3 est articulée relativement à la partie montée en rotation 4 par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison pivot 7 illustrée aux figures 1 à 4.As shown, adjustment means are formed by producing a screen 2 in two parts, namely a rotatably mounted portion 4 relative to the shell 1 about the axis 8, and a portion on which is mounted the respiratory mask 9. In the example shown, this second part is in the form of a visor 3 in the lower zone of which is fixed the mask 9. The visor 3 is hinged relative to the rotatably mounted portion 4 via a pivot link 7 illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 4 .

Plus précisément, la partie montée en rotation 4 présente avantageusement et ce en référence aux figures 7 et 10, deux flasques 5 apte chacune à se positionner sur un flanc de la coque 1 et un bandeau 6 apte à relier les deux flasques par le devant de la coque, et formé sensiblement au niveau du bord supérieur de la visière 3.More specifically, the rotatably mounted portion 4 advantageously has and with reference to Figures 7 and 10 , two flanges 5 each adapted to be positioned on a side of the shell 1 and a strip 6 adapted to connect the two flanges by the front of the shell, and formed substantially at the upper edge of the visor 3.

On pourra constituer le pivot 7 par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière portée pour partie par le bandeau 6 vers son milieu, et par le bord supérieur de la visière 3.The pivot 7 may be constituted by means of a hinge carried partly by the strip 6 towards its center, and by the upper edge of the visor 3.

On comprend aisément que l'écran 2 ainsi constitué en deux parties articulées permet un réglage affiné de la position du masque respiratoire 9 situé vers la zone inférieure de la visière 3. En particulier, on peut facilement régler l'inclinaison de la visière 3 relativement à la coque 1. Deux réglages différents, suivant l'adaptation voulue à la morphologie faciale du conducteur, sont présentés aux figures 1 et 2.It is easily understood that the screen 2 thus formed in two articulated parts allows a refined adjustment of the position of the breathing mask 9 located towards the lower zone of the visor 3. In particular, it is easy to adjust the inclination of the visor 3 relatively to the hull 1. Two different settings, according to the desired adaptation to the facial morphology of the driver, are presented to the Figures 1 and 2 .

Avantageusement, on limite le débattement angulaire possible de la visière 3 relativement à la partie montée en rotation 4. A cet effet, une butée angulaire peut être formée par l'intermédiaire de la liaison en rotation de la partie 4 relativement à la coque 1.Advantageously, it limits the possible angular displacement of the visor 3 relative to the rotatably mounted portion 4. For this purpose, an angular stop may be formed via the rotational connection of the portion 4 relative to the shell 1.

L'autre limite du secteur angulaire du débattement de la visière 3 est obtenue par une butée 11 solidaire de la partie 4 coopérant avec un doigt 12 formé en correspondance sur la visière 3. Avantageusement, un tel système de butée est formé au niveau de chacun des flancs de la coque 1 de façon symétrique.The other limit of the angular sector of the deflection of the visor 3 is obtained by a stop 11 integral with the part 4 cooperating with a finger 12 formed in correspondence on the visor 3. Advantageously, such a stop system is formed at each level. flanks of the shell 1 symmetrically.

Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, en remplacement ou en complément des moyens de réglage ci-dessus décrits, on peut réaliser une liaison rotulée entre le masque 9 et la visière 3. De cette façon, la position du masque peut encore être affinée.According to a preferred embodiment, in replacement or in addition to the adjustment means described above, it is possible to produce a rotational connection between the mask 9 and the visor 3. In this way, the position of the mask can be further refined.

D'autres moyens de réglages sont envisageables sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, notamment par une mobilité en translation additionnelle du masque 9 relativement à sa zone de montage sur l'écran 2.Other adjustment means are conceivable without departing from the scope of the invention, in particular by an additional translational mobility of the mask 9 relative to its mounting area on the screen 2.

Le montage des composants du casque s'effectue très simplement. Ainsi, sur la coque 1 illustrée en figure 8, est rapportée la partie 4 et les articulations en rotation sont fixées au niveau de l'axe 8. Il peut s'agir de paliers de conception courante. La visière 3 est alors rapportée sur l'ensemble ainsi formé en intercalant l'épaisseur des portions latérales 13 de la visière 3 entre la partie 4 et la surface extérieure des flancs de la coque 1. Vers la partie médiane de son flanc supérieur, la visière 3 est montée en pivot sur la partie 4 par l'intermédiaire de la liaison 7.The mounting of the helmet components is very simple. So, on the hull 1 illustrated in figure 8 Part 4 is attached and the rotating joints are fixed at the axis 8. These may be bearings of common design. The visor 3 is then attached to the assembly thus formed by inserting the thickness of the lateral portions 13 of the visor 3 between the part 4 and the outer surface of the sides of the shell 1. Towards the middle part of its upper side, the visor 3 is pivotally mounted on the part 4 via the link 7.

Le masque respiratoire est quant à lui monté par la face intérieure de la visière 3 préférentiellement en ménageant une liaison rotulée. Cela étant, le masque peut aussi être simplement collé, clipsé ou vissé sur la visière. Le masque sera, de façon générale, situé en partie basse de l'écran en faisant plutôt saillie vers l'intérieur de sorte à s'appliquer sur la bouche et le nez du porteur.The breathing mask is mounted by the inner face of the visor 3 preferably by providing a rotatable connection. However, the mask can also be simply glued, clipped or screwed on the visor. The The mask will generally be located at the bottom of the screen, rather protruding inwards so as to be applied to the wearer's mouth and nose.

Toujours à titre préféré, le masque respiratoire 9 comprend un support, par exemple sous forme d'une coque plastique semi rigide recevant un élément filtrant amovible, par exemple à base de papier. Le montage amovible de l'élément filtrant peut être réalisé par des boutons pression ou encore un système du type VELCRO (marque déposée).Also preferably, the breathing mask 9 comprises a support, for example in the form of a semi-rigid plastic shell receiving a removable filter element, for example based paper. The removable mounting of the filter element can be achieved by snaps or a VELCRO type system (registered trademark).

Pour ôter le casque, l'utilisateur n'a qu'à saisir la visière ou le bouton faisant saillie à l'extérieur de la liaison 10 entre le masque 9 et la visière 3 pour opérer un relevage. Le relevage commence par un pivot de la visière 3 relativement à la partie 4 puis, lorsque la butée est atteinte, par une rotation de l'ensemble autour de l'axe 8. Ces phases sont illustrées respectivement en figures 3 et 4 pour atteindre une position entièrement relevée où le masque respiratoire est entièrement dégagé de la face du conducteur.To remove the helmet, the user has only to grasp the visor or button protruding outside the link 10 between the mask 9 and the visor 3 to perform a lift. The lifting begins with a pivot of the visor 3 relative to the part 4 and, when the stop is reached, by a rotation of the assembly about the axis 8. These phases are respectively illustrated in FIG. Figures 3 and 4 to reach a fully raised position where the respirator is completely clear of the driver's face.
