Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection notamment pour motocyclistes.The present invention relates to a protection device in particular for motorcyclists.
On sait qu'il n'existe actuellement aucune protection appropriée pour les motocyclistes, mis à part le casque dont la fonction de protection se limite à la tête et les bourrelets de rembourrage dont sont munis certains vêtements pour motocyclistes notamment au niveau des articulations (coudes, genoux) et dont la fonction de protection est insuffisante. On connaît également des vêtements complètement gonflables, qui présentent toutefois l'inconvénient de provoquer le rebondissement de l'utilisateur sur le sol en cas de chute, ce qui introduit un risque de lésions supplémentaire. Or, les statistiques montrent que la plupart des accidents de motos conduisent à des atteintes graves voire permanentes à la colonne vertébrale qui n'est elle pas protégée.We know that there is currently no appropriate protection for motorcyclists, apart from the helmet, the protective function of which is limited to the head, and the padding pads which are provided with certain clothing for motorcyclists, particularly at the joints (elbows). , knees) and whose protective function is insufficient. Fully inflatable clothing is also known, which however has the drawback of causing the user to rebound on the ground in the event of a fall, which introduces an additional risk of injury. However, statistics show that most motorcycle accidents lead to serious or even permanent damage to the spine which is not protected.
En conséquence, le but de cette invention consiste à remédier à cette lacune en fournissant un dispositif de protection notamment pour motocyclistes plus particulièrement destiné à protéger la colonne vertébrale de l'utilisateur, y compris les vertèbres cervicales, et le cas échéant les reins. Ce but est atteint par le dispositif objet de l'invention qui est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte au moins une enceinte étanche munie de moyens de gonflage à déclenchement automatique et présentant des moyens de fixation destinés à coopérer en position de service avec le corps de l'utilisateur de telle sorte que ladite enceinte soit disposée au moins le long de la colonne vertébrale et sur la nuque de celui-ci.Consequently, the aim of this invention is to remedy this shortcoming by providing a protection device, in particular for motorcyclists, more particularly intended to protect the user's spine, including the cervical vertebrae, and where appropriate the kidneys. This object is achieved by the device which is the subject of the invention which is characterized in that it comprises at least one sealed enclosure provided with inflation means with automatic triggering and having fixing means intended to cooperate in the service position with the body of the user so that said enclosure is arranged at least along the spine and on the nape thereof.
Le dispositif de protection selon l'invention sera maintenant décrit en détail en référence au dessin annexé illustrant schématiquement et à titre d'exemple deux formes d'exécution particulières.The protective device according to the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing illustrating schematically and by way of example two particular embodiments.
La figure 1 est une vue en plan d'une première forme d'exécution du dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a plan view of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention.
Les figures 2A et 2B sont des vues en coupe selon la ligne AA de la figure 1, respectivement en position normale et en position gonflée.Figures 2A and 2B are sectional views along line AA of Figure 1, respectively in the normal position and in the inflated position.
Les figures 3A et 3B sont des vues respectivement de face et de dos du dispositif selon la figure 1 porté par un motocycliste comme un harnais.FIGS. 3A and 3B are respectively front and back views of the device according to FIG. 1 carried by a motorcyclist like a harness.
La figure 4 est une vue d'une seconde forme d'exécution du dispositif selon l'invention sous la forme d'un vêtement de protection notamment pour motocycliste.FIG. 4 is a view of a second embodiment of the device according to the invention in the form of protective clothing, in particular for a motorcyclist.
En référence tout d'abord aux figures 1, 2A et 2B, le dispositif selon l'invention illustré comporte trois éléments reliés l'un à l'autre, respectivement une ceinture 1, un élément protège-colonne vertébrale 2 et un élément protège-nuque 3, la ceinture 1 et l'élément protège-nuque 3 étant disposés chacun perpendiculairement à l'une des extrémités de l'élément portège-colonne 2. Les trois éléments ci-dessus peuvent être, comme illustré sur la figure 1, d'une seule pièce, ou bien être réalisés séparément et munis de moyens permettant de les assembler de façon appropriée.Referring firstly to Figures 1, 2A and 2B, the device according to the illustrated invention comprises three elements connected to each other, respectively a
Comme illustré sur les figures 2A et 2B, les trois éléments sont de préférence constitués par deux couches superposées en cuir ou en un matériau synthétique présentant des propriétés analogues, la couche interne 4 étant fine et souple et la couche externe 5 étant plus épaisse et plus rigide.As illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the three elements are preferably constituted by two superposed layers of leather or of a synthetic material having similar properties, the
Entre les deux couches précitées est disposée une chambre à air 6, par exemple en caoutchouc ou en une matière plastique élastique, généralement entourée d'une gaine 7 par exemple en une matière textile élastique. Les faces internes des deux couches superposées 4, 5 peuvent être munies, de chaque côté de la chambre à air 6, d'une bande de fixation 8 du type "Velcro" permettant de maintenir en position normale dégonflée (figure 2A) lesdites couches l'une contre l'autre.Between the two aforementioned layers is arranged an
En ce qui concerne les dimensions du dispositif illustré à la figure 1, il faut relever que la longueur de l'élément protège-colonne 2 dépend de la taille de l'utilisateur et doit être prévue pour aller de la nuque de celui-ci jusqu'aux reins, donc jusqu'à l'emplacement prévu pour la ceinture. La largeur de la chambre à air 6 est généralement d'environ une quinzaine de centimètres au moins pour ce qui est des portions que présentent la ceinture 1 et l'élément protège-colonne 2 et légèrement moins pour ce qui est de la portion que présente l'élément protège-nuque 3.Regarding the dimensions of the device illustrated in Figure 1, it should be noted that the length of the
La ceinture 1 comporte à proximité de l'une de ses extrémités une poche 9 contenant une cartouche 10 de gaz comprimé, par exemple de l'air, du gaz carbonique ou tout mélange gazeux approprié pour être facilement conservé à l'état comprimé et être rapidement détendu lorsque cela est nécessaire. Cette cartouche est reliée de façon amovible à une buse d'introduction prévue dans la chambre à air 6 au moyen d'un dispositif de fixation 11 de type connu en soi tel que dispositif à pas de vis, à baïonnette, à clips, etc. La cartouche 10 est en outre munie de moyens de déclenchement automatique, par exemple comportant une goupille 12 commandant l'ouverture de ladite cartouche 10,cette goupille 12 étant reliée à un fil de commande 13 dont l'utilisation sera expliquée plus loin.The
Enfin, la ceinture 1 est munie à ses extrémités de moyens de fermeture 14 de n'importe quel type connu en soi.Finally, the
Comme illustré sur les figures 3A et 3B, le dispositif de protection selon l'invention tel que décrit en référence à la figure 1 est destiné à être fixé par exemple sur un motocycliste à la manière d'un harnais. Ainsi, il comporte deux sangles 15 fixées à proximité des extrémités de l'élément protège-nuque 3 et formant deux boucles passant sous les aisselles du motocycliste. Pour assurer un bon maintien du dispositif en position sur le corps du motocycliste, les sangles l5 peuvent être reliées devant à la ceinture 1 (figure 3A) et derrière à l'élément protège-colonne 2 (figure 3B) par d'autres sangles respectivement 16 et 16'.As illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the protection device according to the invention as described with reference to FIG. 1 is intended to be fixed for example on a motorcyclist in the manner of a harness. Thus, it comprises two
Ainsi, l'élément protège-colonne 2 est disposé le long de la colonne vertébrale du motocycliste et l'élément protège-nuque 3 sur la nuque de celui-ci, à la limite du casque 17, la ceinture 1 étant bouclée de façon habituelle et de telle sorte que la portion inférieure de la chambre à air 6 soit positionnée au niveau des reins du motocycliste et que la cartouche 10 de gaz comprimé se trouve dans la région ventrale de celui-ci. Enfin, il est préférable que l'élément protège-nuque 3 présente des prolongements 18 (figure 3A) disposés latéralement et revenant sous la mâchoire de l'utilisateur pour la protéger.Thus, the
Selon une seconde forme d'exécution, illustrée à la figure 4, le dispositif de protection selon l'invention peut être incorporé ou fixé de façon amovible à un vêtement.According to a second embodiment, illustrated in Figure 4, the protective device according to the invention can be incorporated or removably attached to a garment.
Plus particulièrement, le dispositif de protection peut être fixé, en le cousant, lors de la confection.d'un vêtement 19 tel que veste, blouson ou combinaison, entre la doublure intérieure et la peau ou le tissu extérieur. Selon une variante, le dispositif de protection peut comporter des moyens tels que boutons, pressions, clips, ou bandes du type "Velcro" permettant de le fixer de façon amovible à des moyens correspondants dont est muni l'intérieur du vêtement 19.More particularly, the protective device can be fixed, by sewing it, during the preparation of a
La ceinture de protection 1 du dispositif peut également servir à la fermeture du vêtement lui-même. Quant au protège-nuque 3, il est de préférence incorporé au col 20 du vêtement 19 de telle sorte qu'il puisse être relevé sur la nuque de l'utilisateur lorsque la chambre à air qu'il comporte est en position gonflée.The
Une fois que le dispositif de protection selon l'invention est suffisamment solidement fixé par exemple sur un motocycliste, soit au moyen des sangles prévues à cet effet soit par la fermeture du vêtement de protection, pour qu'il ne risque pas d'être déplacé par les mouvements du motocycliste, alors il est en position normale de service. Au moment de prendre place sur sa moto, le motocycliste doit alors fixer l'extrémité libre du fil de commande 13, relié à la goupille 12 de déclenchement de la cartouche 10 de gaz comprimé à un organe fixe de la moto, ladite extrémité libre étant pour cela munie d'un crochet ou tout autre élément susceptible de se fixer sur la moto.Once the protective device according to the invention is sufficiently firmly fixed for example on a motorcyclist, either by means of the straps provided for this purpose or by the closure of the protective clothing, so that it does not risk being moved by motions of the motorcyclist, then he is in position normal service. When taking a seat on his motorcycle, the motorcyclist must then fix the free end of the
En cas d'accident ou de chute, l'éjection du motocycliste par rapport à sa moto provoque l'arrachement de la goupille 12, celle-ci restant reliée à la moto par le fil de commande 13, et déclenche l'introduction du gaz contenu dans la cartouche 10 dans la chambre à air 6 provoquant immédiatement le gonflage de celle-ci. Le motocycliste se trouve ainsi protégé par la présence de coussins d'air disposés le long de sa colonne vertébrale, sur sa nuque et le cas échéant sur ses reins. Comme illustré sur la figure 2B, la couche extérieure 5 du dispositif est relativement épaisse et rigide, ce qui renforce encore le rôle protecteur de celui-ci en cas de choc ou d'écrasement, la couche intérieure4 souple et fine s'adaptant elle à la morphologie du motocycliste.In the event of an accident or fall, the ejection of the motorcyclist relative to his motorcycle causes the tear-off of the
Bien entendu, d'autres variantes non illustrées des deux formes d'exécution du dispositif de protection selon l'invention décrites à titre d'exemples en référence au dessin annexé sont possibles. Par exemple, l'enceinte étanche gonflable du dispositif peut être constituée par plusieurs chambres à air complètement indépendantes munie chacune de ses propres moyens de gonflage à déclenchement automatique ou par plusieurs chambres à air reliées les unes aux autres et gonflables à partir d'un dispositif unique de gonflage à déclenchement automatique.Of course, other variants not illustrated of the two embodiments of the protection device according to the invention described by way of examples with reference to the attached drawing are possible. For example, the inflatable waterproof enclosure of the device can be constituted by several completely independent air chambers each provided with its own inflation means with automatic triggering or by several air chambers connected to each other and inflatable from a device single inflation with automatic release.
L'emplacement et la forme de la ou des cartouche(s) à gaz comprimé de même que le nombre de celles-ci, ne sont pas limités. De même, les moyens de déclenchement automatique de l'ouverture de la cartouche de gaz comprimé en vue du gonflage instantané de la ou des chambre(s) à air peuvent être différents de ceux décrits précédemment à titre d'exemple. Il existe en effet des systèmes de commande de la décharge d'une cartouche de gaz comprimé réagissant par exemple à une brusque décélération ou à un choc et qui peuvent éventuellement être utilisés ici.The location and shape of the compressed gas cartridge (s) as well as the number thereof, are not limited. Likewise, the means for automatically triggering the opening of the compressed gas cartridge for instantaneous inflation of the air chamber (s) may be different from those described above by way of example. There are indeed control of the discharge of a compressed gas cartridge reacting for example to a sudden deceleration or to a shock and which can possibly be used here.
Selon une autre variante non illustrée, l'élément protège-nuque peut être combiné avec un élément supplémentaire qui, par gonflage, se dresse derrière la tête de l'utilisateur jusqu'au dessus de celle-ci ou qui prend la forme d'une sorte de casque.According to another variant not illustrated, the neck protection element can be combined with an additional element which, by inflation, rises behind the head of the user to the top thereof or which takes the form of a kind of helmet.
Enfin, dans le cas du vêtement de protection selon l'invention, celui-ci peut également être pourvu d'autres enceintes étanches munies de moyens de gonflage à déclenchement automatique, par exemple au niveau des articulations (genoux, coudes).Finally, in the case of the protective clothing according to the invention, it can also be provided with other waterproof enclosures provided with inflation means with automatic triggering, for example at the joints (knees, elbows).
Le dispositif selon l'invention constitue ainsi une protection par exemple pour le motocycliste qu'il n'avait pas jusqu'à présent à sa disposition. Ce dispositif simple et relativement peu coûteux permet de diminuer dans une mesure appréciable les risques de lésions graves voire de handicaps permanents à des organes tels que la colonne vertébrale, les vertèbres cervicales et le cas échéant les reins, notamment en cas de chute ou d'accident de moto.The device according to the invention thus constitutes protection, for example for the motorcyclist that he had not hitherto had at his disposal. This simple and relatively inexpensive device makes it possible to significantly reduce the risk of serious injuries or even permanent disabilities to organs such as the spine, cervical vertebrae and, where appropriate, the kidneys, especially in the event of a fall or motorcycle accident.
Bien entendu, le dispositif ou le revêtement selon l'invention peut être destiné à la protection non seulement des motocyclistes, mais également des conducteurs et passagers de side-cars, et de toutes personnes pratiquant un sport ou tout autre activité motorisée ou non présentant des risques d'accidents pouvant conduire à des lésions de la colonne vertébrale, des reins et/ou de la nuque.Of course, the device or the coating according to the invention may be intended for the protection not only of motorcyclists, but also of drivers and passengers of sidecars, and of all persons practicing a sport or any other motorized activity or not exhibiting risks of accidents that can lead to injuries to the spine, kidneys and / or neck.
