Abstract
A protective helmet (1) comprising a cap (2) having a rear portion on which an aerodynamic deflector (3) is mounted, the protective helmet (1) being characterised in that at least one aerodynamic flap (4) is mounted so as to move freely on the aerodynamic deflector (3) in order to be able to be deployed by aerodynamic forces generated by an air flow. A favoured, non-limiting use of the invention is in the field of motorbike racing.
Claims24
A protective helmet comprising a cap having a rear part on which is mounted an aerodynamic deflector, wherein at least one aerodynamic flap is movably mounted on said aerodynamic deflector, wherein the at least one aerodynamic flap is mounted freely movable on the aerodynamic deflector between a retracted position and a deployed position, the at least one aerodynamic flap thus being able to be deployed from the deployed position to the retracted position under the effect of aerodynamic forces generated by an air flow circulating along the cap and the aerodynamic deflector.
