Definitions
- This invention relates to a protective helmets such as are used by motor and pedal cyclists and sportsmen having a helmet shell and an eye shield both of non metallic material, in which the eye shield is rotatably mounted on the'shell so as to be movable between an operative position and a raised inoperative position, said helmet shell and eye shield being held connected by virtue of the resiliency of the material of the eye shield or the helmet shell or both.
- a transparent eye shield is rotatably connected to the shell so as to be movable between an operative position to a raised inoperative position by means of metallic screws, pins, bolts clips (see US-A-2.834.017) or non metallic hinged means (see US-A-4.210.972).
- the eye shield which is not transparent, is mounted in such a way to detach itself easily from the shell, during a frontal impact, passing under the shell, when the impact takes place against the prominent front part of the shell and it is transmitted to the shoulders of the motor or pedal cyclist without any consequences.
- the protective helmet according to the present invention is therefore characterized in that the helmet shell has at the front thereof, above the face thereof, receiving apertures which receive spaced pins which are integral parts of the eye shield and that said eye shield is rotatable on the spaced pins, in the helmet shell, enabling it to be rotated between said positions and to allow its detachment from the shell during an impact, said eye shield having to the rear thereof, a clasp portion which resiliently clasps the peripheral edge of the shell when the eye shield is in the operative position in order to hold them resiliently in said operative position.
- the non-metallic material of the shell, eye shield and/or goggles band retention clip is preferably a stampable elastic synthetic resin or a polyester resin reinforced with glass fibres.
- the helmet according to the present invention having the helmet shell, eye shield and/or goggles band retaining clip made of non-metallic material, and connectable by virtue of the resiliency of material used, ensures the prevention of corrosion and rusting and jamming resulting from corrosion and rusting.
- the illustrated helmet comprises a helmet shell 1, an eye shield 2, and a goggles band retention clip 3.
- Each of these three parts is made of elastic synthetic resin, and the parts are connected by snap fitting together relying on the resiliency of the material used for the parts.
- the eye shield 2 and clip 3 are capable of being disconnected from and connected to the helmet shell 1 repeatedly and by snap fitting action, and to this end there are complimentary projections and recesses on the respective parts, which projections and recesses are produced by the method of forming the parts, for example, stamping, moulding or the like.
- Each of the parts is a one-piece item.
- the arrangement which is used for connecting the eye shield 2 to the helmet shell 1, consists in that the helmet shell has at the front above the face aperture, two recesses apertures, loop holes or bores 4 and 5, as best illustrated in Fig. 2, which receive pins 6, 7 as shown in Fig. 3 which are integral parts of the eye shield 2. Additionally, the eye shield is provided at the rear with a hook or clasp portion 8 which is also formed during the manufacture of the eye shield, and in the operative position shown in Fig. 1, the clasp 8 frictionally and resiliently engages the front peripheral edge 1' as shown in Fig. 1, of the helmet shell. The eye shield 2 can be moved against the holding action of the hook 8 to an upper, out of the way and inoperative position, and is still retained connected to the shell 1 by virtue of the pins 6 and 7 engaging recesses 4 and 5 in resilient fashion.
- this clip is a substantially U-shaped component having inner and outer limbs 3' and 3" of different lengths the expression inner and outer being applied to the respective positions taken by the limbs 3' and 3" when the clip is clipped to the helmet shell as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.
- the outer limb 3' has at its end an inwardly directed projection which bears resiliently against the outside of the helmet shell 1, thereby to define a closed loop 9 for receiving a goggles band.
- the band is inserted in the loop 9 simply by flexing the branch or arm 3" to move the free end of such arm clear of the shell 1, the band is inserted and then the arm is released and it springs back to the position shown in Fig. 4.
- the inner limb 3 is provided with an inwardly extending pin 3', which is snapped fitted in an aperture 10 provided in the region 1"', whereby the clip 3 is resiliently held to the lower rear edge 1" of the helmet shell. To disconnect the clip, the end of the inner limb 3 is deflected resiliently inwardly relative to the shell 1 to release the pin 3'" from the hole 10.
- the helmet shell 1 could be formed with a protuberance drawn out during the formation of the shell 1, to engage a recess in the limb 3' of the clip.
- a protuberance might have a recess for receiving the pin 3' when provided on the clip 3.
- the protective helmet for' motor and pedal cyclists according to the present invention has three important advantages with respect to the helmets according to the cited prior art, namely:
- the shield In said position i.e. placed under the eyes, the shield allows the aeration of the cyclist's face, which is very pleasant for him.
- the eye shield 2 is not pivoted, nor hinged to the shell 1, as it is the case of all the cited prior art, but it is simply retained by the two pins 6, 7 (Fig. 3) which engage themselves in resilient fashion into the recesses 4 and 5 of the shell (Fig. 2).
- the eye shield 2 detaches itself easily from the shell 1 in the direction of the arrow D, i.e. passing under the shell 1, so that the impact takes place against the prominent part 1' of the shell and is transmitted to the shoulders of the motor or pedal cyclist without any consequences.
- the helmet according to the present invention is more safe than the helmets according to the prior art.
