Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a helmet.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 FIG. 6 shows a conventional helmet 70 used when riding a motorcycle, etc. The helmet 70 has a shell 71 having a shell 71 and a liner 72 inside thereof, and a helmet main body 73 on the rear side thereof. A rear sag 75 formed of a flexible material such as leather or synthetic leather is provided.

The rear sag 75 includes a sag main body 76 corresponding to the occipital region m ₁ of the helmet wearer M, and left and right ear contact parts 77 integrally formed on both left and right sides of the sag main body 76. With. An edging portion 78, which is thickened by filling an elastic material inside, is provided on the lower side portion from the sag body portion 76 to the ear pad portion 77.

The edging portion 78 makes the appearance of the helmet 70 gorgeous, and causes a tightening action along the lower side direction with respect to the sag body portion 76 and the ear pad portion 77 so that the helmet 70 can be fitted to the occipital region m ₁ . It is to raise it. Further, a metal sound passage plate 81 having a large number of sound holes 80 formed therein is attached to the ear pad 77.

On the other hand, the helmet body 73 is provided with a mounting belt 83 that can be connected and separated between the left and right side portions. The wearing belt 83 is adapted to be passed through a belt looping wheel 85 provided at the lower end of the ear pad 77 at each of the portions overlapping the left and right ear pads 77 to maintain its juxtaposed state. However, in a portion beyond the ear pad 77, the helmet wearer M comes into direct contact with the circumference of the jaw m ₂ of the helmet wearer M.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In the above-described conventional helmet 70, the occipital region m ₁ of the helmet wearer M has a wide range of exposure to wind and rain, and people sometimes feel cold in winter. In addition, the hair m ₃ protruding from the rear sag 75 sometimes resisted wind.

Since the rear sag 75 has the sag body 76 and the left and right ear pads 77 integrally formed as described above, at the stage of attaching the rear sag 75 to the helmet body 73, the sag body 76 is formed. There is a possibility that unsightly wrinkles may occur in the range from the to the ear pad 77. Since the rear sag 75 has a tightening action along the lower side direction due to the edging portion 78 as described above, when the helmet 70 is taken off, the rear sag 75 and the wearing belt 83 are entirely in the helmet body 73. There was a time when I got inside. Therefore, at the time of the next wearing, it is necessary to pull out the rear sag 75 and the wearing belt 83 from the helmet main body 73, which is troublesome and requires both hands for this.

On the other hand, in the sound passage plate 81 attached to the earpiece 77, the wind flowing along the outer surface thereof collides with the opening edge of each sound hole 80 to generate a small turbulent flow, which causes a slight vibration or vibration. This could lead to wind noise. For this reason, in addition to the annoyance to the ears, it is difficult to hear, for example, a horn sound from behind, and the driver's attention tends to be insufficient.

Further, the wearing belt 83 may be twisted at the portion extending from the ear pad 77, which sometimes makes the wearing of the helmet 70 troublesome. Further, the wearing belt 83 is thick and hard in order to increase the strength, but this is uncomfortable because it directly touches around the jaw m ₂ . In particular, the mounting belt 83 has the fastening metal fitting 86, and when the fastening metal fitting 86 is lowered in temperature as the outside air temperature is lowered, it is sometimes uncomfortable due to the coldness.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can eliminate various discomforts when wearing a helmet, can be easily worn, and can eliminate various conventional defects in terms of appearance and wind resistance. The purpose is to provide such a helmet.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, the following technical measures were taken to achieve the above object. That is, in the helmet according to the present invention, the rear sag provided on the rear portion of the helmet body is extended downward as compared with the conventional one. This makes it possible to cover as much as possible the occipital region of the helmet wearer.

Therefore, it is less likely that the helmet wearer will feel cold, and it is possible to prevent the hair protruding from the rear sagging from becoming a wind resistance. In this case, the length of the rear sag is such that the lower side does not extend downward beyond the bent portion around the lower part of the back of the helmet wearer's head. In other words, by doing so, the rear sagging is prevented from interfering with the movement of the helmet wearer bending the head in the vertical direction.

[0013] Furthermore, by not forming a thick edging portion as in the conventional case on the lower side portion of the rear sagging but forming a thin thickness, it does not hinder the action of the helmet wearer to turn his head upward. You will not be able to. By adopting such a conventional structure without the edging portion, the rear sagging does not have a tightening action along its lower side, and therefore the rear sag and The wearing belt does not get inside the helmet body.

Therefore, there is no need to pull out the rear sagging or the wearing belt when the helmet is worn, and there is an advantage that the helmet can be worn easily. The rear sag is formed by separately forming a centrally located sag main body corresponding to the back of the head of the helmet wearer and left and right ear pads provided on both left and right sides of the sagging main body. When these three members are connected to each other when they are attached to the helmet, each member can be connected according to the curve of the helmet body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unsightly wrinkles from being formed between the sag body and the ear pads.

A sound-transmitting portion is provided in a portion corresponding to the ear of the helmet wearer at the ear pad portion of the rear sag. If a spindle-shaped windshield cover is installed from the front to the rear, such as facing backward, the wind does not hit the sound-passing part directly, so microvibration and wind noise are rarely generated, and the sound from the rear is not generated. It became easier to hear the horn sounds, and safe driving became possible.

Here, the sound-transmitting part means that an opening that penetrates or does not penetrate the ear pad is formed, or that the ear pad is partially or wholly made of a porous material. , I just made it easier to hear external sounds. Since the windshield cover has an opening, there is no problem in hearing the sound, but rather the sound-transmitting part can be made larger than the conventional sound-transmitting plate, which improves the sound collecting property and is easy to hear. There is an advantage to be.

It is preferable that the ear guide portion of the rear sagging portion is provided with the belt guide portion by extending it downward. This belt guide portion is designed to prevent the contact with the skin while keeping the wearing belt in a close state along the longitudinal direction thereof. That is, the belt guide portion allows the wearing belt to be held at a plurality of locations or a long area in the longitudinal direction thereof, so that twisting can be prevented. Therefore, no effort is required to untwist the wearing belt when wearing the helmet. Therefore, the helmet can be easily and quickly attached.

Further, the belt guide portion prevents the wearing belt and the fastener from directly touching the skin around the chin, so that discomfort caused by them can be eliminated. There is also an advantage that the lining of the belt guide section is made of a flexible material so that the touch can be improved.

[0019]

[Embodiment of the invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a helmet 1 according to the present invention. In this helmet 1, the rear sag 3 provided on the rear part of the helmet body 2 has a centrally arranged sag main body 5 corresponding to the back head m ₁ of the helmet wearer M, as shown in a development view of FIG. The left and right ear pads 6 provided on both the left and right sides are separately formed and then connected to each other.

At least the sag body 5 is extended downward from the conventional one, and the ear guide 6 is formed with a belt guide 8 capable of holding the wearing belt 7 extended downward. ing. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, the rear sag 3 includes a sag main body 5 and an ear pad 6, both of which are a skin 3a made of a flexible material such as leather or synthetic leather, and urethane. It has an insertion portion 3b formed of elastic material and a lining portion 3c formed of a flexible material such as velvet.

In addition, the sag body 5 is provided with a grid-like quilting between the skin portion 3a and the insertion portion 3b in order to improve familiarity with the occipital region m ₁ of the helmet wearer M. . The length of the sagging body 5 of the rear sagging 3 that extends downward does not extend downward beyond the bent portion m ₄ of the lower part of the occipital region m ₁ of the helmet wearer M. Is set as a guide. More specifically, this bending portion m ₄ corresponds to the connection portion between the skull and the spine.

By doing so, even if the helmet wearer M bends his / her head in the vertical direction, the rear sagging 3 does not get in the way. Further, unlike the conventional case, the lower side portion of the rear sag 3 is formed thin without having a thick portion. That is, the entire thickness of the sag body 5 is substantially constant. This also prevents the rear sagging 3 from interfering with the upward movement of the helmet wearer M.

As shown in FIG. 4, the left and right ear pads 6 are directed toward the belt guides 8 provided on the ear pads 6 while their lower sides are continuous with the lower sides of the sagging body 5. It is shaped so as to draw a smooth curve. Therefore, the ear pads 6 are also extended downward as compared with the conventional case, as is the case with the sagging body 5. Therefore, the helmet wearer M is covered with a wide area around his / her ears, and in particular, since there is a body temperature-related acupuncture point in this area, the body temperature is less likely to be lost.

The belt guide portion 8 has a length below the jaw m ₂ of the helmet wearer M so that left and right items can be overlapped with each other. The inner surface (lining portion 3c) of the belt guide portion 8 arranged on the left side (right side of the helmet wearer M) in FIGS. 2 and 3 and the outer surface (skin portion 3a) of the belt guide portion 8 arranged on the right side. ) Side, a pair of connecting members 11A and 11B (see FIG. 4) such as a velcro tape, a hook or a button which can be engaged with and disengaged from each other are provided.

Therefore, the left and right belt guide portions 8 can be connected to each other at the lower part of the jaw m ₂ of the helmet wearer M. On the other hand, since the wearing belts 7 that are provided so as to be connectable / separable between the left and right side portions of the helmet body 2 are arranged outside each belt guide portion 8, the wearing belts 7 can be worn on the helmet There is no direct contact with the person M.

The wearing belt 7 has a strip-shaped portion 12 for insertion on the left side (right side of the helmet wearer M) in FIG. 2 and has a fastener 13 on the right side. The area around the height of the cheek m ₅ of the helmet wearer M is stored in the belt case 14 (see FIG. 5), and the belt loop 14 fixed to the ear pad 6 with the rivets 15 is held together with the belt case 14. It is inserted through the wheel 16.

Further, the belt-shaped portion 12 is also directly inserted into the second belt passing wheel 17 provided near the tip of the left belt guide portion 8. As a result, the mounting belt 7 maintains a state in which the mounting belt 7 is close to the belt-shaped portion 12 and the side having the fastener 13 along the belt guide portion 8. The belt case 14 and the belt loops 16 and 17 are made of a material of the same quality and the same color as the skin 3 a of the rear sagging 3.

On the belt-shaped portion 12 side of the mounting belt 7, a movable cylinder 18 which is formed into a cylindrical shape by being wound around a portion between the belt loop wheels 16 and 17 is held. Then, on the outer surface of the movable cylinder 18 and the outer surface of the band end portion, respectively, a pair of connecting members 19A, 19B such as hooks, buttons, or the like that can be engaged and disengaged (see FIGS. 3 and 4). ) Is provided.

Therefore, after the band-shaped portion 12 is hung over the fastener 13, it can be fixed to the movable cylinder 18 so that the front end of the band does not become black. On the other hand, in the left and right ear pads 6, the sound passage portion 23 is provided by opening only the skin portion 3a forming the ear pads 6 in the portion corresponding to the ear of the helmet wearer M. ing. A windshield cover 24 is provided around the sound passing portion 23. The windshield cover 24 has an opening 25 formed in a rearward facing portion.

The windshield cover 24 is fixed to the earpiece 6 with rivets 26, except for the rearward facing portion, on the outer periphery of a small piece cut out of the same material and the same color as the skin 3a of the rear sagging 3. It is provided by that. Here, the small piece has a shape obtained by cutting an elliptical shape along the minor axis thereof, and a portion corresponding to the minor axis is applied to a position where the opening 25 is formed so that the small portion is directed from the front portion to the rear portion. The spindle shape reduces air resistance.

In the rear sagging 3, the sagging main body 5 and the ear pad 6 are connected by sewing, but this sewing is performed at the stage of attaching the rear sagging 3 to the helmet main body 2. That is, for example, first, the sauce main body 5 is attached to the helmet main body 2, then, while the positional relationship between the helmet main body 2 and the ear pad 6 is adjusted, the degree of overlap between the ear pad 6 and the sauce main body 5 is adjusted. Make sure to sew this overlap while properly adjusting.

In the helmet 1 having such a configuration, since the rear sag 3 is extended downward, the occipital region m ₁ of the helmet wearer M can be covered as broadly as possible, and therefore, in winter and the like. However, it is less likely that the helmet wearer M will feel the cold. Further, since the hair m ₃ protruding from the rear sagging 3 is reduced, there is an advantage that it can be suppressed even when it becomes a wind resistance.

In this way, since the rear sag 3 reaches a considerably deep position with respect to the occipital region m ₁ of the helmet wearer M, it is assumed that the front part of the helmet 1 is lifted with a large force. Even if it is done, the helmet 1 has an advantage that it can be in a stable state where it is difficult to shift its position. Further, unlike the conventional case, since the lower side of the rear sagging 3 is not provided with a thick portion, the rear sagging 3 does not have a tightening action along the lower side thereof, and the helmet 1 is removed. However, the rear sag 3 and the wearing belt 7 do not get into the helmet body 2. Therefore, there is an advantage that the helmet 1 can be mounted easily and quickly.

The rear sag 3 has a structure in which the sag main body 5 and the left and right ear pads 6 which are separate from each other are connected to each other when they are attached to the helmet main body 2. It can be connected according to the curve of the helmet body 2, and it is possible to prevent unsightly wrinkles between the sag body portion 5 and the earpiece portion 6. Since the windshield cover 24 is provided around the sound-transmitting portion 23 in the ear pad 6 of the rear sag 3, the harsh feeling caused by the wind hitting the sound-transmitting portion 23 can be eliminated.

Since the mounting belt 7 is held by the belt guide portion 8 at a plurality of positions or long regions in the longitudinal direction, the mounting belt 7 is not twisted. Therefore, the helmet 1 can be easily, quickly, and surely mounted. There is also an advantage that the wearing belt 7 can have a long life. In addition, the belt guide portion 8 prevents the wearing belt 7 and the fastener 13 from directly touching the skin around the jaw m ₂ of the helmet wearer M, so that discomfort caused by them can be eliminated. Furthermore, since the lining portion 3c of the belt guide portion 8 can be made of a flexible material, there is an advantage that the touch can be improved in this portion.

By the way, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the rear sagging 3 is not limited to the laminated structure described in the above embodiment, and can be made of various flexible materials including resin sheets, rubber sheets, woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, etc. Alternatively, it is possible to form a laminated structure by another combination. It is also possible to use different materials for the sag body 5 and the ear pad 6.

In the rear sagging 3, the method of connecting the sagging main body 5 and the left and right ear pads 6 may be performed by gluing, riveting, or the like other than sewing. The windshield cover 24 may be attached to the earpiece 6 by riveting, sewing, bonding, or the like. Further, a cut for forming the opening 25 is made in the skin 3a in the portion forming the ear pad 6, and one cut edge of this cut is expanded to the left and right respectively. It is also possible to form the windshield cover 24 integrally with the earpiece 6 by a method.

The shape of the windshield cover 24 is not limited at all. In terms of material, it can be made of resin, for example. The opening 25 of the windshield cover 24 may be provided obliquely upward, obliquely downward, or directly downward. The sound passage portion 23 may be provided as a small opening like the conventional sound hole 80, and a plurality of the sound passage portions may be collected. Further, a part or the whole area of the windshield cover 24 or the entire ear pad 6 is made of a porous material so as to correspond to the predetermined portion, that is, the ear of the helmet wearer M. It is also possible to make the portion to be performed function as the sound passing portion 23.

The belt guide portion 8 may be provided separately from the ear pad portion 6, and these may be connected by an appropriate method. The use of the helmet 1 is not limited in any way, and it can be appropriately used for various motorcycles including not only two-wheeled vehicles but also four-wheeled vehicles, general sports such as paragliders, bicycles, and mountaineering. is there.
