The diaphragm (8), which is attached at least in the front region of the lower edge of the helmet shell, is of a pliable material.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schutzhelm entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1. Ein solcher Schutzhelm ist beispielsweise aus der GB-A-1 402 287 bekannt. Dort wird der Spalt mittels zweier Klappen verschlossen, die über einen Klettverschluß, z. B. Velcro R-Material, miteinander zu verbinden sind. Dort soll die Kinnpartie abgedeckt werden, um kalte Luft am Eindringen zu hindern.The invention relates to a protective helmet according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a protective helmet is known for example from GB-A-1 402 287. There, the gap is closed by means of two flaps, which are closed by a Velcro fastener, e.g. B. Velcro R material to be connected. There, the chin area should be covered to prevent cold air from entering.

Derartige Schutzhelme werden hauptsächlich von Zweiradfahrern und beim Skisport benutzt.Such protective helmets are mainly used by two-wheelers and in skiing.

Die anatomisch bedingten Abmessungen der Schlupföffnung derartiger Helme führen dazu, daß zwischen der vorderen unteren Begrenzungskante der Helmschale und der Kinnpartie des Benutzers ein Spalt entsteht, der infolge der Luftströmungsverhäftnisse (Turbulenzen) zu störenden Geräuschbildungen, Beschlag von Sichtscheibe und zur Verschlechterung der aerodynamischen Verhältnisse führt.The anatomical dimensions of the hatch opening of such helmets result in a gap between the front lower boundary edge of the helmet shell and the chin area of the user, which, due to the air flow conditions (turbulence), leads to disturbing noise, fogging of the lens and deterioration of the aerodynamic conditions.

Es wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, diese Nachteile durch eine Blende zu vermeiden, die an der unteren Begrenzung der Helmschale klappbar befestigt ist und die nach dem Überstülpen des Helms mittels Druckknöpfen oder durch Klettenverschluß in der Schließlage festgelegt wird.It has already been proposed to avoid these disadvantages by means of a screen which is hingedly attached to the lower boundary of the helmet shell and which is fixed in the closed position after the helmet has been put on by means of push buttons or by means of a Velcro fastener.

Diese Ausführungsformen haben den Nachteil, daß nach dem Überstülpen des Helms die Blende von Hand festgelegt werden muß. Die Handhabung wird in vielen Fällen durch die vom Benutzer verwendeten Handschuhe erheblich erschwert, insbesondere ist auch das Lösen derart festgelegter Blenden im Notfall schwierig.These embodiments have the disadvantage that after the helmet has been put on, the diaphragm must be fixed by hand. In many cases, handling is made considerably more difficult by the gloves used by the user, and in particular, it is also difficult to loosen such panels in an emergency.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schutzhelm gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 so auszugestaften, daß er ohne zusätzliche Betätigung der Blende übergestülpt und wieder abgenommen werden kann, gleichzeitig ein Luftaustausch über die Kinnpartie stattfindet.The invention has for its object to provide a protective helmet according to the preamble of claim 1 so that it can be put on and removed again without additional actuation of the diaphragm, at the same time an air exchange takes place over the chin area.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Ausführungsform entsprechend dem Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention this object is achieved by an embodiment according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Further advantageous forms of training are described in the subclaims.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Schutzhelms wird erreicht, daß beim Überstülpen und beim Abnehmen des Helms der Spalt zwischen Helmunterkante und der unteren Kinnpartie des Benutzers selbsttätig ohne zusätzliche Handhabung abgedeckt wird.The design of the protective helmet according to the invention ensures that the gap between the lower edge of the helmet and the lower chin area of the user is covered automatically without additional handling when the helmet is put on and removed.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Blende als Spoiler wird eine aerodynamisch günstige Ablenkung der Luftströmung erreicht und unerwünschte Turbulenzen im Helminnenraum verhindert.The inventive design of the diaphragm as a spoiler achieves an aerodynamically favorable deflection of the air flow and prevents undesirable turbulence in the helmet interior.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ergibt sich erfindungsgemäß aus der luftdurchlässigen Ausgestaltung der Blende. Dadurch wird ein Luftaustausch im Helminneren erzielt, der ausreichend ist, um ein Beschlagen der Sichtscheibe zu verhindern.A further advantage according to the invention results from the air-permeable design of the screen. This results in an air exchange inside the helmet that is sufficient to prevent the lens from fogging up.

Die Auswechselbarkeit der Blende hat den Vorteil, daß diese dem jeweiligen Verwendungszweck des Helmes, bzw. den anatomischen Gegebenheiten des Benutzers angepaßt oder bedarfsweise gegen eine Blende mit unterschiedlicher Luftdurchlässigkeft ausgetauscht werden kann.The interchangeability of the visor has the advantage that it can be adapted to the particular use of the helmet or the anatomical conditions of the user or, if necessary, exchanged for a visor with different air permeability.

Entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 1 besteht der Schutzhelm 1 aus einer Helmschale 2, die im Kopfbereich ein elastisches Poster 3 und im Frontbereich eine Sichtscheibe 4 aufweist, die entweder fest eingesetzt oder klappbar an der Helmschale 2 befestigt sein kann. Der Helm 1 wird durch einen Kinngurt 5 am Kopf des Benutzers festgelegt. Auf der Unterseite weist die Helmschale 2 eine Schlupföffnung 6 auf. Durch den Spalt X dringt Strömungsluft 7 in das Innere des Helms 1 ein und die dadurch entstehenden Turbulenzen führen für den Benutzer zu störenden Geräuschen sowie zu einem Beschlagen der Sichtscheibe 4. Außerdem werden die aerodynamischen Verhältnisse durch derartige Turbulenzen verschlechtert.Embodiments of a protective helmet designed according to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

1, the protective helmet 1 consists of a helmet shell 2, which has an elastic poster 3 in the head area and a viewing pane 4 in the front area, which can either be inserted firmly or can be attached to the helmet shell 2 in a foldable manner. The helmet 1 is attached to the user's head by a chin strap 5. The helmet shell 2 has a slip opening 6 on the underside. Flow air 7 penetrates into the interior of the helmet 1 through the gap X and the resulting turbulence leads to disturbing noises for the user and fogging of the lens 4. In addition, the aerodynamic conditions are deteriorated by such turbulence.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 ist der Spalt X durch eine nach Art eines Spoilers ausgebildete Blende 8 abgedeckt, die an der unteren Begrenzung 9 der Helmschale 2 befestigt ist, und die in ihrem freien Endbereich eine Abreißkante 10 für die Strömungsluft 7 bildet. Dadurch wird die Strömungsluft ohne im Innenraum des Helms 2 Turbulenzen zu erzeugen, an diesem vorbeigeleitet.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the gap X is covered by an aperture 8 designed in the manner of a spoiler, which is attached to the un tere boundary 9 of the helmet shell 2 is attached, and which forms a tear-off edge 10 for the flow air 7 in its free end region. As a result, the flow air is bypassed without generating turbulence in the interior of the helmet 2.

Die Blende 8 besteht entsprechend den Darstellungen in den Fig. 3 bis 6 aus biegsamem Material, z. B. Leder, Textil- oder Kunststoff und ist im Frontbereich und im Seitenbereich mittels Stegen 11 an der Helmschale 2 festgelegt.The diaphragm 8 consists, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, of flexible material, e.g. B. leather, textile or plastic and is fixed in the front area and in the side area by means of webs 11 on the helmet shell 2.

In dem der Frontseite abgewandten Bereich ist die Blende 8 in Form eines Faltenbalges 12 ausgebildet, wobei die Falten die Ebene der Blende 8 entsprechend Fig. 3 beidseitig und entsprechend der Fig. 4 nur einseitig überragen.In the area facing away from the front, the cover 8 is designed in the form of a bellows 12, the folds projecting beyond the plane of the cover 8 on both sides in accordance with FIG. 3 and only on one side in accordance with FIG. 4.

In den Fig. 5 und 6 ist die Blende 8 einmal in ihrer Normalstellung bei aufgestülptem Helm und zum anderen in der Auslenkstellung angezeigt, die beim Abnehmen des Helmes 1 erforderlich ist.5 and 6, the diaphragm 8 is shown once in its normal position when the helmet is put on and on the other hand in the deflected position which is required when the helmet 1 is removed.

Durch ein elastisches Band 14 wird die Blende 8 gemäß Fig. 5 in ihrer Normalstellung gehalten und eine Auslenkung gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 6 ist möglich.5 is held in its normal position by an elastic band 14 and a deflection as shown in FIG. 6 is possible.

Eine entsprechende Auslenkung ist in entgegengesetzter Richtung beim Aufstülpen des Helmes 1 gewährleistet.A corresponding deflection is ensured in the opposite direction when the helmet 1 is put on.

Nach den Darstellungen in den Fig. 7 und 8 besteht die Blende 8 aus einem Borstensatz, der nach Fig. 7 in der mit der unteren Begrenzung 9 der Helmschale 2 verbundenen Abdeckleiste 15 befestigt ist.According to the representations in FIGS. 7 and 8, the cover 8 consists of a bristle set which, according to FIG. 7, is fastened in the cover strip 15 connected to the lower boundary 9 of the helmet shell 2.

In Fig. 8 ist die als Borstensatz ausgebildete Blende 8 an einem Steg 16 befestigt, der elastisch formschlüssig an der Leiste 15 gehaltert ist. Eine Ausbildungsform einer Blende 8 entsprechend der Fig. 8 ist perspektivisch in Fig. 9 dargestellt.In Fig. 8, the bristle set 8 is attached to a web 16 which is elastically supported on the bar 15. An embodiment of an aperture 8 corresponding to FIG. 8 is shown in perspective in FIG. 9.

In den Fig. 10 und 11 ist eine Blende 8 als einstückiges Formteil dargestellt, das einen leistenförmigen Teil 15 entsprechend den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 8 und 9 aufweist. Der freie Endbereich 17 ist lamellenartig ausgebildet, wobei zwischen den einzelnen Lamellen enge Luftspalte 18 vorgesehen sind.10 and 11, an aperture 8 is shown as a one-piece molded part which has a strip-shaped part 15 corresponding to the embodiments according to FIGS. 8 and 9. The free end region 17 is designed in the manner of a lamellae, narrow air gaps 18 being provided between the individual lamellae.

Beim Überstülpen und Abnehmen eines erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Schutzhelms verformt sich die Blende 8 und nimmt nach diesem Vorgang selbsttätig die vorbestimmte Spoilerstellung ein. Besondere Handgriffe zum Lösen der Blende 8 sind nicht erforderlich.When a protective helmet designed according to the invention is put on and removed, the cover 8 deforms and automatically assumes the predetermined spoiler position after this process. Special handles for releasing the panel 8 are not required.

Die Ausführungsformen der Blende 8 nach den Fig. 7 bis 11 ermöglichen einen Luftaustausch in dem Helminnenraum der ausreichend ist, um ein Beschlagen der Innenseite der Sichtscheibe 4 zu verhindern.The embodiments of the diaphragm 8 according to FIGS. 7 to 11 enable an air exchange in the helmet interior which is sufficient to prevent fogging of the inside of the lens 4.

Die in den Figuren 12 und 18 dargestellten Schutzhelme stimmen in ihren Grundzügen mit dem Schutzhelm gemäß Fig. 2 im wesentlichen überein. Es werden daher dieselben Bezugszahlen wie bei Fig. 2 verwendet. Unterschiedlich bei diesen alternativen Ausführungsformen ist die Ausgestaltung der Blende 8. Bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen dient als Blende ein elastisches Gewebe oder Gewirk 20 bzw. 20', das durch Weben, Häkeln oder Flechten hergestellt ist und welches insb. in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles gemäß den Fig. 14 und 16 gummieelastische Eigenschaften besitzt, z. B. mit Gummifäden durchsetzt ist, so daß beim Schlupfen das Gewebe ausweichen kann und im Normalzustand die Schlupföffnung im vorderen Bereich wieder vollkommen verschlossen ist. Vorzugswiese enthält das Gewebe oder Gewirk 20, 20' eine Mischung aus gummiartigen Fäden und Polyamid- oder Polyester-Fäden oder aber es besteht aus vernetztem Polyuretan.The basic features of the protective helmets shown in FIGS. 12 and 18 essentially correspond to the protective helmet according to FIG. 2. The same reference numbers are therefore used as in FIG. 2. Different in these alternative embodiments is the design of the screen 8. In both embodiments, an elastic fabric or knitted fabric 20 or 20 'is used as the screen, which is produced by weaving, crocheting or braiding and which in particular in the direction of the double arrow according to the Fig. 14 and 16 has rubber-elastic properties, for. B. is interspersed with rubber threads so that the fabric can evade when hatching and in normal condition the hatch opening in the front area is completely closed again. The meadow or knitted fabric 20, 20 'preferably contains a mixture of rubber-like threads and polyamide or polyester threads, or else it consists of cross-linked polyurethane.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der Figuren 12 bis 15 dient zur Halterung des im wesentlichen halbkreisförmigen Gewebes 20 (Fig. 14) ein ebenfalls im wesentlichen halbkreisförmig gebogener Befestigungsstreifen 21, der z. B. durch Warmschneiden hergestellt ist und aus Kunststoffmaterial bestehen kann. Wie Fig. 15 zeigt, ist der halbkreisförmige Rand des Gewebes 20 mittels einer Naht oder mittels Klammern bei 22 im Bereich der dem Helminneren zugewandten Innenkante des Befestigungsstreifens 21 befestigt. Der auf diese Weise mit dem Gewebe 20 bestückte Befestigungsstreifen 21 wird auf die mit einem leistenförmigen Teil 15 eingefaßte Helmschalenbegrenzung 9 aufgesetzt und mittels Haken 23 mit dem Schutzhelm verbunden bzw. verhakt. Hierbei erstreckt sich das leicht gespannte Gewebe 20 parallel zur Helmschalenbegrenzung 9, d.h. in Normalstellung ist der Winkel a zwischen Helmschalenbegrenzung und Ge-webe 20 gleich Null. Wie in Fig. 13 durch Pfeile verdeutlicht, läßt sich zum Anlegen und Ablegen des Schutzhelmes das Gewebe 20 in beiden Richtung auslenken und gelangt anschließend wieder selbsttätig in die Normalstellung.In the embodiment according to Figures 12 to 15 is used to hold the substantially semicircular fabric 20 (Fig. 14) is also a substantially semicircular bent mounting strip 21, the z. B. is made by hot cutting and can consist of plastic material. As shown in FIG. 15, the semicircular edge of the fabric 20 is fastened by means of a seam or by means of clips at 22 in the region of the inner edge of the fastening strip 21 facing the helmet interior. The fastening strip 21 equipped in this way with the fabric 20 is placed on the helmet shell border 9, which is bordered with a strip-shaped part 15, and connected or hooked to the protective helmet by means of hooks 23. Here, the slightly stretched fabric 20 extends parallel to the helmet shell boundary 9, i.e. in the normal position, the angle a between the helmet shell boundary and the woven fabric 20 is zero. As shown in Fig. 13 by arrows, the fabric 20 can be deflected in both directions to put on and take off the protective helmet and then automatically returns to the normal position.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Fi-guren 16 bis 18 wird ein Befestigungsstreifen 21' verwendet, der ebenfalls im wesentlichen halbkreisförmig gebogen ist, und der einstückig aus einem Basisteil 24 leicht abgekröpften Halteteil 25 besteht, der zu den beiden Streifenenden hin zur Helmaußenseite hin keilförmig verbreitert ist. Auf diesem Halteteil 25 ist das Gewebe 20' aufgespannt, wobei es den Außenrand des Halteteiles 25 überzieht, wie in Fig. 16 und 18 verdeutlicht. In der vorerwähnten Weise wird diese Blende wiederum an der Helmschalenbegrenzung 9 befestigt, z. B. verhakt, wobei der Befestigungsstreifen 21' die Helmschalenbegrenzung 9 partiell überragt, zusammen mit dem an der Außenseite dieses Befestigungsstreifens 21' angebrachten Gewebes 20'. Wie Fig. 17 zeigt, ergibt sich dadurch in der Normalstellung ein Winkel a zwischen der Ebene der Helmschalenbegrenzung und der Ebene des Gewebes 20'. Auch hier läßt sich das elastische Gewebe nach beiden Seiten hin leicht auslenken. Durch die winkelige Anordnung des Gewebes 20' erhält man eine spezielle Spoilerwirkung der Blende 8.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 16 to 18, a fastening strip 21 'is used, which is also essentially semicircularly bent and which consists in one piece of a base part 24 with a slightly bent holding part 25 which is widened in a wedge shape towards the two ends of the strip towards the outside of the helmet . The fabric 20 'is stretched on this holding part 25, covering the outer edge of the holding part 25, as illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 18. In the aforementioned manner, this panel is in turn attached to the helmet shell limit 9, for. B. hooked, the fastening strip 21 'partially overhanging the helmet shell limit 9, together with the fabric 20' attached to the outside of this fastening strip 21 '. As shown in FIG. 17, this results in an angle a between the plane of the helmet shell boundary and the plane of the fabric 20 'in the normal position. Here, too, the elastic fabric can be easily deflected on both sides. The angular arrangement of the fabric 20 ′ gives the screen 8 a special spoiler effect.
