Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective helmet for sports activity. Such activities may include cycling in the broad sense, whether on the road or in the field.
  • the invention also extends to the helmet designed for the practice of climbing, caving, mountaineering, downhill skiing, ski touring, snowboarding.
  • a helmet forms a protection of the head, to protect the skull of the shocks that it could undergo when the user makes a fall or when an object is projected in its direction.
  • Such a helmet generally includes a cap and a jugular strap.
  • the cap is intended to cover the skull of the user. This is the headdress that gives the protection of the head. Most often, it is composed of an outer shell and an inner cap.
  • the outer shell is generally rigid, and is made of a thermoplastic material such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) or PC (PolyCarbonate).
  • the inner cap is made of an expanded material such as EPS (Expandable PolyStyrene) or EPP (Expandable PolyPropylene).
  • the jugular strap is integral with the cap. It is generally connected to the three-tiered cuff: on an anterior left lateral, on a right lateral anterior part and on a central posterior part (at the level of the occiput).
  • This construction makes it possible to generate two lateral loops.
  • a first loop is formed between the left lateral anterior portion and the central posterior portion of the cap.
  • a second loop is formed between the right lateral anterior portion and the central posterior portion of the cap.
  • Each loop surrounds the lower part of an ear and is extended, below, by an extension carrying, at its end, a fastener. The extension of each loop is intended to wedge under the chin.
  • the fastening part of a loop is adapted to cooperate, under the chin or at the cheek, with the complementary fastener of the other loop. With this hook, the two loops are secured, which keeps the headdress on the head.
  • the cap is held by the straps that come to rest against the chin as soon as you remove the headdress of the skull.
  • the chin strap has two separate straps. Most often, these two straps are secured at an extension, and more particularly, at a fastener.
  • the complementary fastening piece it is the same strap that is connected to this piece.
  • the connection between the complementary fastener and the strap is then of type. The strap can slide freely through the loop. This same type of connection connects the jugular strap to the central rear part of the cap.
  • the user may be required to attach accessories on the helmet.
  • a visor to protect his eyes from the sun and / or rain.
  • Other accessories are possible. It can be an eye protection screen, a lamp ...
  • These accessories are usually attached to the cap by a specific support, different from the fastening part of the jugular strap.
  • the cap thus integrates a multitude of housing for the different mounting brackets whether for the jugular strap or for a visor. These housing penalize the external aesthetics of the helmet and weaken the structure. Moreover, with dedicated mounting brackets, the number of constituent parts of the helmet is increased which makes it heavier.
  • the invention aims to solve one or more of these disadvantages.
  • An object of the invention is in particular to provide an improved helmet.
  • One goal is to provide a lightweight helmet structure.
  • Another goal is to propose an aesthetic helmet.
  • Another object is to provide a helmet having a simplified construction comprising a minimum of component parts.
  • Another goal is to offer an economical helmet.
  • the invention thus relates to a helmet for sporting practice comprising a cap intended to be positioned on a skull, a jugular strap, at least one support intended to be secured to the cap, the support comprising means for attaching the strap. jugular.
  • the support further comprises an attachment element of an accessory, the fastener being designed to allow easy disassembly of the support accessory.
  • the support has a dual functionality. On the one hand, it serves as anchor point of the jugular strap on the cap and, secondly, it serves as an attachment element of an accessory.
  • This design reduces the number of pieces because there is no need for specific parts to fix the accessory.
  • the helmet therefore comprises fewer components and lightened accordingly.
  • the cap is not weakened by additional housing. Only one support is visible which improves the external design. Indeed, with conventional constructions, for each anterior lateral part, the cap comprises two inserts reported, one for the jugular strap and one for the accessory. That of the jugular strap is always apparent. That of the accessory is visible only when the accessory is not mounted on the helmet. With the proposed embodiment, a single support is visible on each anterior lateral portion of the cap when the accessory is not assembled. This support is no longer visible as soon as the accessory is mounted on the helmet.
  • the figures 1 and 2 illustrate a helmet 1 for cycling.
  • the invention is not limited to this activity and can be transposed to helmets for the practice of other sports.
  • the helmet 1 comprises a cap 2 equipped with supports 3 of a jugular strap 4.
  • the cap 2 can be made by a so-called thermoforming process or "in-mold” for securing by injection an outer shell 21 with an inner cap 22.
  • the outer shell 21 may be made by molding and subsequently assembled, by any appropriate means, to an inner cap 22 made by injection, independently.
  • the cap thus comprises an outer hard layer, made of ABS or PC or another polymer. This hard layer corresponds to the outer shell.
  • the outer shell 21 defines an outer envelope surface S2 facing outward characterizing the external design of the helmet. This outer layer provides protection against impacts and perforation.
  • the cap further comprises a damping layer made of an expanded material such as EPS or EPP. This damping layer corresponds to the inner cap. Parts of the inner cap may be visible from the outside.
  • the outer shell also protects the inner cap, less resistant to punctures.
  • the cap is also provided with ventilation openings 23, through the cap, to ventilate the skull during the practice of the sport.
  • the cap also comprises, in its front part, that is to say in the front part of the helmet, between the middle part in the longitudinal direction and the front end of the helmet, two lateral orifices 24 passing through the cap. These lateral orifices 24 are arranged symmetrically with respect to a sagittal median plane of the cap. These lateral orifices are placed in the front third of the cap, slightly above the temples.
  • Each lateral orifice 24, right and left, is intended to receive a support 3 of the jugular strap 4.
  • This support 3 allows on the one hand, to secure the jugular strap 4 with the cap 2 and secondly, to fix an accessory on the helmet.
  • the accessory may be a cover 5, a visor 6, an optical screen, a lamp or other objects.
  • the figure 1 illustrates the assembly of two types of accessory: either a cover 5 or a visor 6.
  • the jugular strap 4 is assembled to the cap 2 by the two front lateral supports 3 and by a rear support piece, not shown, placed in the rear part of the cap, at the occiput.
  • the front side supports 3 are identical. Such support is illustrated in Figures 3 to 6 .
  • the support 3 forms an elongate piece in a longitudinal direction XX, illustrated in FIG. figure 4 .
  • the support 3 comprises a plate 31, oval shape, defined by an upper face 311 and a lower face 312.
  • a longitudinal wall 32 protrudes into the central zone of the lower face 312 and extends along the longitudinal axis XX.
  • the longitudinal wall is centered on the plate 31. It is dimensioned so that areas of the lower face 312 are not covered by the longitudinal wall.
  • the uncovered areas surround the longitudinal wall.
  • the longitudinal wall 32 is intended to be inserted into the lateral orifice 24. It is dimensioned so as not to interfere with the lateral orifice 24 when the support is assembled to the cap.
  • the plate 31 is dimensioned so as not to be able to pass through the lateral orifice 24.
  • the lateral orifice 24 of the cap advantageously comprises a shoulder 241 so that the plate 31 is substantially embedded in the cap.
  • the interior of the shoulder 241 is not considered, within the meaning of the invention, as delimiting the outer envelope surface S2 of the cap.
  • the upper face 311 is recessed with respect to the outer envelope surface S2, when the support is assembled to the cap. This makes it possible not to disturb the aerodynamic properties of the helmet and not to damage the assembled support because it is protected by the cap.
  • the outer shell 21 covers the inside of the shoulder 241, as seen in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the plate 31 bears on the outer shell 21.
  • the latter being rigid, it improves the recovery of force of the support on the cap when pulling on the jugular strap.
  • the relative position between the support and the cap remains substantially the same. The length adjustment of the strap is not affected.
  • the longitudinal wall 32 may comprise an anchor member for interfering with the inner wall 242 of the lateral orifice 24.
  • the anchoring member is made by two hooks 321 protruding in the longitudinal direction XX of the longitudinal wall 32.
  • the two hooks 321 are arranged near the free bottom face 322 of the longitudinal wall.
  • These two hooks are slightly deformed and penetrate into the material of the inner cap. This connection allows good performance but is not easy to disassemble.
  • the anchoring member may allow disassembly or not the support.
  • the support is mounted freely in the cap.
  • the support remains in its housing when one exerts a tension on the support, via the jugular strap. This tension comes to press the plate 31 against the cap.
  • the support is removably mounted on the cap which allows to change it in case of deterioration or wear of the part or the strap associated therewith.
  • the support may be glued to the cap or overmolded therein or else mounted tightly, without a particular fastening member.
  • the first function of the support is to secure one end of the jugular strap 4 with the cap 2.
  • the support 3 has a means of attachment 32, 33 of the jugular strap.
  • the jugular strap 4 is connected to the support 3 at the longitudinal wall 32.
  • the plate 31 comprises a central opening 33, substantially rectangular, whose length is greater than the width of the jugular strap and whose width is greater than the width of the longitudinal wall.
  • the central opening 33 is positioned and dimensioned so as to create two vertical passages 331, a passage on either side of the longitudinal wall 32.
  • the central opening 33 is opening from the plate 31 on each side of the longitudinal wall.
  • the jugular strap 4 can surround the longitudinal wall 32 as shown in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the strap runs along a first lateral face 323 of the longitudinal wall 32, passes through a first vertical passage 331, passes over the longitudinal wall, inside the central opening 33, passes through the second vertical passage 331, and runs along the second lateral face 323 of the longitudinal wall, placed in opposition to the first lateral face. Finally, the end of the strap joins a lap portion of the strap. This end is then fixed on the covering portion by appropriate means, for example, by a seam 41. The strap thus forms a closed loop, surrounding the longitudinal wall 32. This assembly secures the strap 4 with the support 3.
  • the lateral faces 323 of the longitudinal wall 32 comprise a recess 34 having a width greater than the width of the jugular strap.
  • This recess allows to accommodate the strap so that no part of the strap does not exceed each side face 323 of the longitudinal wall 32.
  • the strap is always set back from the side faces 323. Because of this, the strap does not come in interference with the inner wall 242 of the lateral orifice 24 during the insertion of the support 3 equipped with the strap 4. This facilitates the mounting of the support on the cap.
  • the central opening 33 is dimensioned so that the strap is fully housed in the central opening 33 when it passes around the longitudinal wall 32.
  • no part of the strap does not exceed the face 311 of the plate 31.
  • the strap is always set back from this upper face 311. Thanks to this, the strap is not exposed and is protected by the support 3.
  • the attachment means is formed by a through hole, oriented in the direction YY, in the width of the longitudinal wall, from one side face to the other, just below the plate 31 In this case, it is no longer necessary to have a central opening 33 passing through the plate 31.
  • the support may be overmolded on the strap. It is also possible to transpose solutions described in the prior art, for example the attachment means illustrated in the documents US5,005,220 ; US 5,467,485 ; US8,0911,148 or US 2007/0044210 .
  • the invention lies in the fact that the support 3 of the jugular strap 4 also incorporates a fastener 35 of an accessory.
  • the accessory may be a cover 5, as shown in FIGS. figures 1 and 5 , a visor 6, as illustrated in figures 1 and 2 .
  • the invention is not limited to these two accessories. It can also be an optical screen of eye protection, a lamp, a decoration ...
  • the accessories 5, 6 are fixed on the support 3 by two pins 55, 65 cooperating with two complementary holes 35 of the support 3.
  • pins 55 of a cover 5 we will now describe one of the pins 55 of a cover 5, it being understood that the other compatible accessories are also provided with pins 65 of similar design.
