Description

The invention relates to a helmet for a motorcyclist and people engaged in extreme activities.

The invention relates to personal protective equipment, such as helmets with a built-in pick-up system, and can be used to protect head injuries in a motorcyclist and people engaged in extreme activities, e.g. B. in special units to prevent.

Helmets equipped with a rigid housing with fasteners incorporating a camera-receiving system having a lens centrally located on the helmet above the face area and not projecting beyond the housing surface, and with a power source embedded in the home case, a control system, a recording device with built-in memory, a slot for inserting an external memory card, and a connector for connection to external devices and / or a power network are widely known and widely used [e.g. B. the web pages:
http://bokeh.com.ua/news/42_video_head_kamera_vstroennaya_v_shlem;
http://videoheadhelmets.com/products ].

The cited helmets are not so suitable for motorcyclists because of the lack of ability to protect the face from stones flying out from the wheels of preceding vehicles because the camera lens is located on the front of the housing so that it is impossible to attach a visor , In the mentioned helmet no bulletproof glass is provided.

From the prior art, a motorcycle helmet is known, which is equipped with a rigid housing with fastening and damping elements and a built-in housing housing system with a camera, the lens is centrally located on the helmet above the Visierbefestigungslasche and does not protrude beyond the housing surface is [s. patent DE 19542835 , Kl. A42B 3/04, BT 22.05.97]. The disadvantage of this known device is the impossibility of autonomous operation, since the connection to an external recording device and the complexity of a data transfer to external devices is necessary.

It is an object of the invention to develop a helmet for a motorcyclist and people who are engaged in extreme activities.

The stated object is solved by the features of claim 1.

The helmet according to the invention provides an extended functionality and implementation of all necessary functions, eg. Autonomous operation of the device and an ability to transfer data to external devices.

This problem is solved by a helmet for a motorcyclist and people who are engaged in extreme activities, with a rigid housing with fastening and damping elements, a mounted on the helmet housing bulletproof glass and a built-in housing housing system with a camera whose Lens is centrally located on the helmet above the visor mounting tab and does not protrude beyond the housing surface, with a recording system embedded in the helmet housing power source, a control system, a recording device with built-in memory, a slot for inserting an external memory card and a connection to Connection with external devices and / or a power network.

The control system may be configured to receive control signals from the remote control. The camera preferably has the ability to record videos and / or photos and is equipped with a microphone for receiving audio signals.

An embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawings. Show it:

1 an overall view photo of the proposed helmet and

2 the position of the camera lens.

The proposed helmet has a rigid housing 1 with fixing 2 and damping elements, for. B. PUR foam. In the case 1 is a recording system with a built-in camera whose lens 3 centrally located on the helmet above the face area and does not protrude beyond the housing surface. The glass lens of the camera is mounted centrally on the helmet above the visor mounting strap and is finished with a sapphire crystal 4 protected.

The camera has an ability to record videos and / or photos and is equipped with a microphone for receiving audio signals. The recording system also includes a power source embedded in the home case, a control system, a recording device with built-in memory, a slot for inserting an external memory card, and a connector for connection to external devices and / or a power network. Through the connection, the Recording system connected to a computer for further processing of audio video signals (photos), to a power supply for charging the power source or to an external monitor for direct data sampling. The control system is configured to receive control signals from the remote control that may be attached to the user's clothing. Among other things, the helmet can be set to a light indicator from the operating mode, from the hermetic slot for connecting the video helmet to a personal computer for further processing audio video signals (photos), to recharge the power source and for a direct data sampling by an external TV -Monitor, for an external remote control over the device, for a microphone.

According to the present invention, a prototype was produced ( 1 - 2 ). As helmet was a helmet Model K-1C of Special Materials Corp. used. As a recording system, a dashboard camera (Auto Camera Full HD) was used, the entire elements are removed from the standard housing and placed in the inner part of the helmet.

The glass lens of the camera is mounted centrally on the helmet above the visor mounting tab and is made of a sapphire crystal 4 protected. The recorder with built-in memory is attached to the inside of the helmet and protected against external influence and has the following characteristics:
Video system Full HD, HD, video resolution 1920 × 1080i;
Battery 1050 mAh;
Photo resolution 16 megapixels;
Viewing angle horizontal 120 °.

The recording is cyclical and takes place in the built-in memory or on a microSD card up to 32 GB. The slot for inserting an external memory card is located on the inside of the helmet between the housing and the damping elements.

For setting up the pickup system, a control system in the form of a switch with a power key from the pickup system and an on and off key from the pickup mode is provided. To set the video and photo recording mode, a remote control is provided.

For data sampling without connection to a computer or TV, a monitor is used which connects to a recording system through a slot located directly on the recorder. To charge the power source (battery) and remove data from the built-in memory or a microSD card, there is a USB 2.0 interface on the back of the helmet. Removing data through this interface significantly increases the life of the microSD card.

All parts of the recording system are positioned so that a man putting on the helmet has no complaints. The operating temperatures are between -28 to + 40 ° C. The weight of the recording system without helmet is 125 g.

Since all elements of the pickup system are inside the home case, the helmet remains mobile and convenient to use, and its appearance does not undergo major changes. At the same time, with the presence of multifunctional means for connection to external devices, the helmet is more compatible with modern peripherals.
