The invention refers to a system which allows to lay the helmet of the driver, as well as the ones of the transported persons, if any, in the relevant vehicle, thus permitting during the stops of the means to obviate the danσer of theft or damaging through the athrro- spherical agents.

It is well known that the present rules for the circulation of two- wheel vehicles, such as motor-cycles, cycle-motors and similar ones, have made compulsory the employ of helmet to the driver and transport ed persons. This has given rise to a problem of fundamental importan ce, particularly in public mstallagions and rooms in general since the helmet owner must choose between leaving his helmet on the vehi- cle or bringing it alon ./ith hr ^* -. In tr.e first case, the risk of theft or of helmet damaσe tnrouαh the a ^* cnmosDherιcal or other aσents

must ne taken into consideration. In the second case, when the hel¬ met owner enters the above rooms, there is the necessity of having suitable devices for the helmet depositing; these devices must all- ow the protection from theft and damage. There is thus the necessi¬ ty of having such proper shelving devices or modular containers at one's disposal, and to have proper personal for the survey. As a consequence, a considerable financial burder for installations and managanent is required as well as a reduction of the operation room for these installations. In particular, in rooms with limited space, the problem is practically without solution. For the hel et owner, furthermore, there is the necessity of bringing it along with himself and, in any case, of underlying to payment in connec¬ tion with this service. In particular, in installations such as sta diums, sport palaces, music halls and the like, in which generally young people are present in consistent number, the presence of this kind of users would be a heavy hindrance to their influx and exit.

The invention device allows the integral solution of the problen by means of anchoring the helmet or helmets to a fixed part of the vehicle in safety and waterproof conditions. This is possible thanks to the circumstance that the system foreseen a waterproof and flexi¬ ble envelope with a shape in accordance with the helmet type or with all possible types, into which the helmet can be introduced by re- tracting the ledges of the helmet opening. After having closed this opening by means of the automatic "Velcro" system of other zip faste ner, the helmet will be in protected condition against athmospeheric or other agents. The use of flexible containers, beside allowing the possibility of the helmet shape suitability in the input and drawing out phases, will enable to operate by means of interposition with damping and protectiong effect so as to avoid damage to the vehicle supporting part as to the same helmet by a rubbing action; in a non- employ condition, the said envelope is reduced to a minimum encumber ing volume by folding its parts. In this way, the above said envelope

is reduced to encumbering sizes which can be laid in conventional purses or usual vehicle containers. This enables to obtain helmet protecting means that do not substantially interfere in a non-em¬ ploy condition and, therefore, will cause no problem as to its lodging. The helmet contained in the waterproof envelope with a damping base can then be anchored in a safety condition to an i- deal linear part of the vehicle by means of a conventional cable with annular closure. The said cable is introduced into a bore in the envelope, crosses both helmet openings and is let out through another bore in correspondence with the envelope, then it is pass_ ed around the anchoring part Of the vehicle and its ends are block ed with conventional closing means. The envelope can be foreseen with sizes suitable for containing a specific or generic type of helmet equipped with vizor.

An execution form is illustrated in a merely indicative way in the drawings of table 1. With reference to these drawings, fig. 1 is the introduction phase of a helmet into an envelope by retraction of the openings limbs. Fig. 2 is a view of the container with the helmet hatching. On the front side, two bores on a line can be not ed in correspondence to the front opening, only one of which can be chosen for use. The automatic hinge with slider can be noted too, and on the front side the anchoring cable to be closed with a con¬ ventional padlock. Fig. 3 is the longitudinal section view of the complete helmet container duly closed and anchored to a frame ele- ment seen in section with safety cable. Fig. 4 is the schematic view of a vehicle with a helmet anchored according to the invention device.

The version employs an envelope 1 in plastic materials equipped with two bores 2 on the front side and below the bores 3, with longitudinal front opening limbs to be closed by means of an auto matic hinge 4 with slider. For fixing the device, after having

laid the helmet 5 into the envelope, the zipper 4 is closed and the cable 6 is introduced into one of the two bore couples 2 and 3 ac- 85 cording to the wished leaning position. In this condition, the ca¬ ble 6 holds the helmet 5 by means of its lower chin protecting part. The whole is brought on the anchoring part 7 of the vehicle, and the cable passed around it and closed.

90 In practice, the cable closing system, the shape and materials the envelope for the protection against the athmospherical agents is consisting of, as welle as against the rubbing of the parts in con¬ tact, may vary.

95 In a similar way, the closing means of the envelope may be foreseen in different wav.
