Definitions
- the present invention relates to a neck protection device, for any person subject to risk of injury and in particular for motorcyclists. It is a system of easy integration with the clothing, which used in conjunction with a helmet, reduces the risks of neck injury.
- the protection mode of these devices is based on limiting the extreme movements of the head, which would cause damage to the neck, both forward (flexion) and backward (extension), as well as to the sides.
- neck protectors There are different types of neck protectors; On the one hand, the most basic are the compounds of a foam that surrounds the neck. As an example, among others, US 6058517 and WO 02089620 can be cited.
- foams that placed around the neck, restrict the movement of the helmet to a greater or lesser extent.
- foams that placed around the neck, restrict the movement of the helmet to a greater or lesser extent.
- they have a front opening that closes by means of a strap, attached to one of the ends of the foam and attached to the other by means of sailboat type joints.
- WO 2005051251 describes a device consisting of a ring placed around the neck, formed by two pieces that are joined by the sides, and a support, attached to the back piece of the ring, which extends over the back of the Username.
- the described device guarantees greater stability, although it is difficult to put it on and take it off, because it has the closures on the sides; It is not easily integrated with the user's clothing and is appalling, hindering its transport and storage.
- the area that rests on the back as it is not completely covered by foam, can be embedded in the spine, and can cause damage to it.
- WO 2008105010 it describes a similar device, which consists of a ring formed by two arms joined in an articulated manner by a vertical axis in the rear part with opening in the front part, and of a support extending from the ring on the upper area of the user's back.
- a second axis, horizontal and parallel to the user's shoulders, allows varying the angle between the ring formed by the two arms and the rear support.
- this device facilitates its assembly, when opening and closing in the front part, the transport and its storage, by easily disassembling the different parts that it consists of, but it presents serious inconveniences; among them, that although it would admit a conventional garment of clothing, open to the middle, could only be attached to the collar in the area of the rear protector due to the vertical axis, and that given the opening system no adjustment mechanism can be incorporated Different sizes of users. Finally, there are devices in which the structure that constitutes the collar is attached to the helmet or incorporated into a specific clothing.
- WO 2005079614 describes a protection device for motorcyclists composed of a helmet and a collar that are joined together, behind the neck, by means of a mechanism that allows free movement of the head, without exceeding the limits to from which there is a risk of serious neck injury.
- the collar consists of two articulated arms on a central part.
- the collar instead of being attached to the helmet, is incorporated into a biker jumpsuit.
- the collar in two parts, is separated by a connecting line, extending it into a lateral opening that, for these purposes, presents the monkey.
- None of the devices described can be placed and removed together with the user's clothing, being necessary to place it before or after it (jacket, jumpsuit, shirt, ).
- a neck protector formed by a rear shield which rests on the shoulders and the upper part of the back, and two anterior shields, which rest on the upper front part of the torso, one on each side of the neck.
- Said anterior shields are joined with the posterior one by means of articulation means whose pivot axes are oriented upwards, backwards and towards the center, such that their point of intersection is located above and behind them.
- articulation means can be materialized in various ways. In a first variant they may consist of rigid hinges. In a second variant, the articulation means can be deformable and consist of a simple flexible sheet, for example, a rubber sheet or a textile web. In this case, the axes of rotation are not fixed but admit a certain clearance in the space, which facilitates even more the manipulation of the device.
- the basis of the invention is that the axes of rotation of the articulation means follow, in a certain way, the natural line of the shoulders.
- Both the previous and subsequent shields can be fixed to the clothing through sailboat-type junction areas, or other rapid clipping systems.
- the neck protector can be put on and removed together with the clothing.
- the anterior and posterior shields that make up the neck protector are advantageously constructed from a rigid frame and a deformable, foam-like covering, responsible for cushioning the contact between helmet and protector, and the latter with the thorax.
- the two previous shields can be separated from each other in the chest area, at a distance that allows the zipper of a dress to go up and down, which allows quick access to the interior thereof. This arrangement also allows greater ventilation.
- it has a union system of the two previous shields, composed of a slide that is collected on one of them and that, in an extended position, engages with a bolt located on the other previous shield.
- a quick anchor system can be incorporated between the front and rear shields, which allows the three parts of the neck protector to be separated.
- a guide-slide system with several locking positions can be included, allowing the neck protector to be adjusted to different user sizes, without requiring an exchange of parts.
- Figure 1 shows two situations of use in which the neck protector is attached to a jacket, the first one in closed position and the second one being removed together with the jacket to which it is attached.
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the device from the front.
- Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the device from
- Figure 4 shows a side view of the device with the front shields closed.
- Figure 5 shows a side view of the device with the front shields open.
- Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the mechanisms of fast anchoring, hinge and size regulation.
- Figure 7 shows a top view of the device.
- Figure 8 shows a bottom view of the device.
- Figure 9 shows a plan view of the device with the front shields open.
- Figure 10 shows a perspective view of the device from the front, and a detail of the front closure system.
- (001) of the invention comprising a rear shield (100), which rests on the shoulders and the upper part of the user's back, and two anterior shields (251) (252), which rest on the upper front part of the torso.
- the rear shield (100) is composed of a rear frame
- the left anterior shield (251) is composed of a left anterior framework (201) and a left anterior deformable coating (203).
- the right front shield (252) is also composed of a right front frame (202) and a right front deformable coating (204).
- the deformable coating (102) (203) (204) of all the described parts comprises a viscoelastic foam sensitive to the deformation rate, responsible for providing comfort to the user and absorbing energy in the event of an accident, braking the impact of the helmet on a scheduled basis. with the neck protector (001), and the latter with the body of the user. Biomechanical damage values are reduced in this way, such as the rotational acceleration of the head.
- hinges (301) (302) are arranged, which articulate the anterior shields (251) (252) with respect to the rear shield (100), whose pivot axes are oriented upwards , backwards and towards the center, in such a way that their point of intersection (Oi) is located above and behind them. In this way the previous shields (251) (252) open towards the sides and upwards. See figures 5 and 9.
- the front shields (251) (252) are attached to the rear shield (100) by means of a quick anchoring system, which allows the three parts of the neck protector (001) to be easily separated, making it possible on the one hand, that when stored it occupies little space, and on the other, a fast and safe extraction after an accident.
- Said anchoring system consists of housings (31 1) (312) arranged in the rear shield (100) and two forks integral with hinges (301) (302) (shown in Figure 6) which, when introduced into said housings (31 1) (312), are anchored to them.
- connection zones (1 1 1) (1 12) (21 1) (212) have been provided in which to include sailboat-type joining systems, or other rapid clipping systems, for fix the neck protector (001) to the user's clothing (jacket, jumpsuit, sweatshirt, etc.). See figure 8.
- the neck protector (001) By fixing the neck protector (001) to the user's clothing as described above, and thanks to the kinematics of the opening system, the user can put on and take off the neck protector (001) together with a jacket or the like, remaining at all times joined both pieces.
- the neck protector (001) With the neck protector (001) in the closed position (see figure 8), the previous shields (251) (252) can be separated, in the frontal area, a distance that allows the zipper of a jacket, mono or any other garment placed under the neck protector (001). This arrangement also allows greater ventilation.
- the collar that forms the protector around the neck can be closed, in order to give it the necessary stability, in two different ways:
- neck protector (001) is attached to the user's clothing (jacket, jumpsuit, ...) as previously indicated (sailboat type or similar), the same zipper or closure system of the clothing serves as closure element of the protector.
- This mechanism has an elastic system, such as a spring, which causes a force that tends to collect the slide (416) into the box (412).
- a guide-sliding system shown in figures 2 and 3 and in detail in figure 6, with its corresponding one, has been arranged on each side thereof locking mechanism formed by:
- Figures 1 and 2 show the ease of removing the neck protector object of the invention. It can be seen that the protector, thanks to its special configuration, easily follows the movement of the garment, as if it formed a body with its neck. It is interesting to note that, even if they were not attached collar and garment, you can open and access the interior of the latter by slightly dragging the collar without removing it.
