Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multifunctional device particularly for motorcyclists.
  • aerodynamic devices such as for example airfoils
  • motoring industry is well known, particularly in motor racing.
  • those devices generate a force that presses the vehicle against the ground, increasing its grip as the speed increases.
  • back protectors In the field of motorcycling, protective devices have been in use to protect the spine of the motorcyclist against impacts. Those devices, so called “back protectors” are generally constituted by a protective shield made of semirigid material, arranged in the leather suit or worn by the rider between his/her back and the suit, substantially along the spine and at the spinal area of the back.
  • protective shields of this type have a linear profile with a transverse width that increases along the main or longitudinal direction, starting from the cervical region, reaches its maximum value at the lumbar region and then tapers in the sacral region.
  • those conventional shields perform only a protective function but do not allow to meet other requirements of the motorcyclist that may arise in individual instances, such as, for example, a reduced drag at high speed.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional device, particularly for motorcyclists, with several improved features over the prior art devices.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a multifunctional device that may serve different uses, separately or at the same time, according to the rider's needs.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a multifunctional device that improves the aerodynamic performance.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a multifunctional device characterized by low manufacturing costs and that can be manufactured with traditional manufacturing plants and methods.
  • a multifunctional device particularly for motorcyclists, characterized in that it comprises a concave inner surface facing the back of the user, a convex outer surface, and a means for removable retention of an apparatus on said outer surface.
  • the multifunctional device according to the invention may include an aerodynamic appendage comprising a wing and supporting means connecting the wing to the outer surface.
  • the multifunctional device comprises a supporting base that has a resting portion, facing the back of a user, and an engagement surface, characterized in that it comprises, at the engagement structure, means for the detachable retention of said at least one apparatus.
