Description

DESCRIPTION

HELMET HANGER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a hanger for helmets, specially designed to facilitate the placement and storage of motorcycle helmets.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Nowadays, it is very common to have a motorcycle for commuting, due to its greater agility and lower consumption compared to other larger vehicles.

Riding motorcycles requires, by regulation, the use of a helmet, which can generate the problem of storing it when it is not being used, since it is an object of a certain volume. Normally it is left resting on some horizontal surface (table or shelf), but this can cause the helmet to accidentally fall, as it is simply supported, if it accidentally moves. A helmet that falls to the ground is generally unusable, even if it does not break, since its internal structure suffers breakage for energy dissipation, so it should be replaced, being a good with a certain cost; even quite high in the case of helmets with certain features.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The hanger for helmets of the invention comprises in its most generic statement:

-a lateral sector provided with a vertical face with anchors for fixing a vertical element (typically to a wall),

-a protruding sector of the lateral sector, in the opposite direction to the vertical face, and comprising a widened headwall, formally and dimensionally suitable to be inserted through the lower opening of a helmet; the headpiece comprising a convex upper area specifically adapted to the inner rear shape of the hull to support this area without damaging or deforming it.

In this way, by fixing the hanger to the wall, the helmet is in turn hung from it in a safe position that does not get in the way, occupying a minimum of space, with a very low cost and with a compact and resistant design, which prevents the accidental fall of the helmet by being able to place it out of the reach of accidental movements, and thanks to the fixing on the inside, hanging, so that the only way to cause it to fall is to push upwards and extract it at the same time, being a combination of movements that is very difficult to happen accidentally.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the helmet hanger of the invention, where a key appears hanging from it.

Figure 2 shows a view similar to that of figure 1, where a hanger appears hanging from it.

Figure 3 shows a side view of the helmet hanger of the invention, with a hanging helmet, sectioned to appreciate its interior.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The hanger (1) for helmets (2) of the invention comprises:

- a lateral sector (3) provided with a vertical face (30) with fixing anchors for a vertical element (100) (typically to a wall),

- a protruding sector (4) of the lateral sector (3) in the opposite direction to the vertical face (30), and comprising a widened head (40), formally and dimensionally suitable to be inserted through the open base (20) of a helmet (two); the head piece (40) comprising a convex upper area (41) adapted to the inner rear shape of the hull.

It is preferably materialized by a piece of plastic in a monobloc configuration, or in two parts: one of them the head and the other the rest of the hanger, joined by fitting, gluing, etc., which makes it susceptible to 3D printing or manufacturing. additive and therefore manufacturing with minimal means and investment. Specifically, the preferred embodiment example comprises that the part or parts are made of plastic based on polylactic acid (PLA), since it is a biodegradable plastic, and structurally resistant and resistant to UV rays, or also, for example, glycol polyester (PETG). In this specific case, in addition, the part includes reinforcement ribs (5), which allows the use of less amount of material than if the part were solid.

A very convenient additional feature comprises that the protruding sector (4) comprises a transverse hole (6) formally and dimensionally suitable for receiving the hook (101) of a hanger, which also allows the corresponding motorcycle jacket to be hung from the hanger, having all this biker equipment gathered in one place when not in use, increasing comfort.

The protruding sector (4) can comprise a first substantially horizontal section (4a) and a second ascending section (4b), generating the necessary space for the base of the hull while increasing resistance. In this case, it is preferred that the transverse hole (6) be arranged in the first section (4a) or in the transition between the first section (4a) and the second section (4b), since it affects less structurally and the moment is minimized. regarding the fixing to the wall.

Additionally, it has been foreseen that the protruding sector (4) can include hooks (7) for keyrings, which at the same time allows the motorcycle keys to be left in the same place as the helmet and jacket, where appropriate.

Finally, indicate that the anchors comprise in this non-limiting example of the invention, one or more holes (31) provided in the lateral sector (3) and open on its vertical face (30), and fixing screws (32). arranged in said holes (31) and whose heads rest on the opposite part of its vertical face (30). In this case, one or more tool passages (44) have been provided in the second section (4b) to be able to tighten the screws (32) using your screwdriver or wrench.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
