ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for ensuring hygienic protection of the crown of a headgear, particularly of a motor-cyclist's helmet.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is known to be particularly difficult for the users of helmets to maintain the crown thereof suitably and to protect them against different natural aggressions such as in particular perspiration or sebum, or against outside aggressions such as dust, which are translated by an obvious lack of hygiene and of comfort for the user.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has for its object to propose a protective device allowing the user to have available headgear maintained under satisfactory conditions of comfort and of hygiene.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention thus relates to a protective device for headgear, particularly for helmet, of the type comprising at least one sheet made of an absorbent material, characterized in that the back of the absorbent sheet is integral with at least one semi-rigid and/or elastic deformable retaining element to be in contact with the headgear crown surface, and the deformation thereof shapes and maintains the absorbent sheet on that surface.
In one embodiment of the invention, the back of the absorbent sheet, which may be constituted by a microperforated sheet, comprises at least one adhesive zone.
In another variant embodiment of the invention, the semi-rigid and/or elastic deformable element is constituted by a plurality of sectors possibly joined together by a central part. The sectors will preferably be sufficiently spaced apart to avoid their touching one another when the protective device is in place. Each side of the sectors may be formed by a first portion of radial rectilinear segment and by a second portion of rectilinear segment which extends inwardly of the sector with respect to the first segment.
The semi-rigid and/or elastic deformable element is preferably constituteed by four adjacent sectors with an angle at the center of 90°, so as to allow the protective device to be folded into four.
