Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen verstellbaren Kinngurt für Motorrad­schutzhelme, bei dem jeder der beiden Gurtteile mit einem Zug­band in der Mitte unter dem Kinn mit einem selbstfeststellenden doppeltwirkenden Klemmrollenverschluss verbunden ist, welcher aus einem Rahmen besteht, auf dem mindestens zwei Klemmrollen verschiebbar angeordnet sind.The invention relates to an adjustable chin strap for motorcycle protective helmets, in which each of the two belt parts is connected with a drawstring in the middle under the chin with a self-locking double-acting pinch roller fastener, which consists of a frame on which at least two pinch rollers are slidably arranged.

Aus der DE 36 29 287 C1 ist ein Kinngurt für Motorradschutzhelme bekannt geworden, welcher beiderseits im Backenbereich des Helms befestigt ist. Die beiden Teile, aus denen der Kinngurt besteht, sind in der Mitte etwa unter dem Kinn mit einem selbst­feststellenden doppeltwirkenden Klemmrollenverschluss miteinander verbunden. Der Nachteil dieses Kinngurtes besteht darin, dass für die Anpassung des Kinngurtes an die verschiedenen Kopfgrössen die Befestigungsstelle der beiden Gurtenden am Schutzhelm ver­ändert werden muss. Dies ist umständlich und aufwendig und wird daher in den meisten Fällen unterlassen. Kinngurte können aber nur optimal wirken, wenn sie den Schutzhelm fest auf dem Kopf halten und zwar auch dann, wenn z.B. bei einem Unfall starke Kräfte auf ihn einwirken.From DE 36 29 287 C1 a chin strap for motorcycle protective helmets has become known, which is attached on both sides in the cheek area of the helmet. The two parts that make up the chin strap are connected to each other in the middle under the chin with a self-locking double-acting pinch roller fastener. The disadvantage of this chin strap is that the attachment point of the two strap ends on the protective helmet must be changed to adapt the chin strap to the different head sizes. This is cumbersome and time-consuming and is therefore not done in most cases. Chin straps can only work optimally if they hold the protective helmet firmly on the head, even if e.g. act on him in an accident.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfache Möglichkeit zu schaffen, mit der die Länge des Kinngurtes dann verändert und den Kopfgrössen angepasst werden kann, wenn der Schutzhelm schon auf dem Kopf sitzt. Diese Verstellmöglichkeit muss einfach sein und auch dann noch betä­tigt werden können, wenn der Motorradfahrer dicke Handschuhe trägt.The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a simple possibility with which the length of the chin strap can be changed and adapted to the head sizes when the protective helmet is already seated on the head. This adjustment must be simple and still be able to be operated even if the motorcycle rider is wearing thick gloves.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, dass auf einem oder beiden quer liegenden Teilstücken des Rahmens des Verschlusses eine Stellklappe um den Rahmenteil schwenkbar angelenkt ist und die Ausdehnung der Stellklappe in Zugrichtung des Gurtes der gewünschten Kopfgrössenänderung des Gurtes entspricht, wobei die Stellklappe in das Innere des Verschlussrahmens einschwenk­bar ist.The solution to this problem is that on one or both transverse sections of the frame of the closure, a flap is pivotally articulated around the frame part and the extension of the flap in the direction of pull of the belt corresponds to the desired head size change of the belt, the flap in the interior of the Locking frame is pivotable.

Vorteilhaft ist die Stellklappe in Benutzungsstellung arretier­bar bzw.feststellbar.The valve can advantageously be locked or locked in the use position.

Zweckmässig besitzt die Stellklappe Arretierungsanschläge, die sich in Benutzungsstellung an den Rahmen des Verschlusses anlegen.The control flap expediently has locking stops which, in the position of use, rest against the frame of the closure.

Der Vorteil dieser Ausbildung eines Kinngurtes mit diesem Schloss betseht vor allem darin, dass mit diesen relativ einfach aufge­bauten und auch zu bedienenden Stellklappen der Kinngurt min­destens auf drei Kopfgrössen eingestellt werden kann. So wird der Kinngurt für Kopfgrösse 62-64 benutzbar, wenn keine Stell­klappe in Benutzung genommen wird. Wird nur eine Stellklappe benutzt, so entspricht die Länge des Gurtes etwa der Kopfgrösse 58-60 und werden beide Stellklappen benutzt, so entspricht das etwa einer Kopfgrösse von 54-56. Verwendet man verschieden breite Stellklappen, so kann man eine noch grössere Anzahl Kopfgrössen einstellen.The advantage of this chin strap design with this lock is that the chin strap can be adjusted to at least three head sizes with these relatively simple and easy-to-use flaps. For example, the chin strap can be used for head sizes 62-64 if no flap is used. If only one flap is used, the length of the belt corresponds approximately to the head size 58-60 and if both flaps are used, this corresponds approximately to a head size of 54-56. If you use flaps of different widths, you can set an even larger number of head sizes.

In den Zeichnungen ist eine beispielsweise Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt und zwar zeigt :

  • Figur 1 eine Draufsicht auf den Verschluss im Kinngurt
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie II - II der Figur 1.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings and shows:
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the closure in the chin strap
  • 2 shows a section along the line II - II of Figure 1.

Nach den Fig.1 und 2 besteht der Kinngurt aus zwei Gurtteilen 11 und 12, welche mit den (nicht dargestellten) Enden im Backen­bereich des Motorradschutzhelmes befestigt sind. In der Mitte etwa unter dem Kinn, ist jeder Gurtteil 11 und 12 als Schlaufe um eine Klemmrolle 13 und 14 eines selbstfeststellenden doppelt­wirkenden Klemmrollenverschlusses 15 gelegt. Dieser Klemmrollen­verschluss 15 besteht aus einem etwa rechteckigen Rahmen 16, auf dessen längeren Seitenteilen 17 die beiden Klemmrollen 13 und 14 verschiebbar gelagert sind. Bei Zug an den Kinngurt­teilen 11 und 12 verschieben sich die Klemmrollen 13 und 14 soweit nach aussen, bis die Gurtteile 11 und 12 zwischen den quer liegenden kurzen Teilstücken 18 des Rahmens 16 des Ver­schlusses 15 und den Klemmrollen 13,14 ein- und fetgeklemmt sind. Damit ist der Verschluss geschlossen.According to the Fig.1 and 2, the chin strap consists of two belt parts 11 and 12, which are fastened with the ends (not shown) in the cheek region of the motorcycle protective helmet. In the middle, approximately under the chin, each belt part 11 and 12 is placed as a loop around a pinch roller 13 and 14 of a self-locking double-acting pinch roller fastener 15. This pinch roller lock 15 consists of an approximately rectangular frame 16, on the longer side parts 17 of the two pinch rollers 13 and 14 are slidably mounted. When pulling on the chin strap parts 11 and 12, the pinch rollers 13 and 14 move outward until the strap parts 11 and 12 are clamped and grease clamped between the transverse short portions 18 of the frame 16 of the closure 15 and the pinch rollers 13, 14. The closure is now closed.

Auf den beiden kurzen quer liegenden Teilstücken 18 des Rahmens 16 des Verschlusses 15 ist je eine Stellklappe 19 und 20 ver­schwenkbar gelagert. Die Breite der Stellklappen 19,20 ent­spricht etwa der inneren Breite des Rahmens 16, sodass die Stell­klappen , wie bei 19 dargestellt, in das Innere des Rahmens 16 hineingeklappt werden kann. Die Ausdehnung 21 der Stellklappe 19,20 in Zugrichtung des Gurtes entspricht dabei der gewünschten Kopfgrössenänderung, die erreicht werden soll. Im allgemeinen wird eine Ausdehnung 21 von 10 mm ausreichen, um alle gängigen Kopfgrössen darzustellen.On the two short transverse sections 18 of the frame 16 of the closure 15, an adjusting flap 19 and 20 is pivotally mounted. The width of the adjusting flaps 19, 20 corresponds approximately to the inner width of the frame 16, so that the adjusting flaps, as shown at 19, can be folded into the interior of the frame 16. The extent 21 of the adjusting flap 19, 20 in the pulling direction of the belt corresponds to the desired change in head size that is to be achieved. In general, an extension 21 of 10 mm will be sufficient to display all common head sizes.

Zum Öffnen des Verschlusses 15 ist in bekannter Weise ein Zug­band 22 vorgesehen.To open the closure 15, a drawstring 22 is provided in a known manner.

Die Stellklappen 19,20 sind auf einem Beschlag 23 befestigt, dessen Querausdehnung mindestens im Bereich der eigentlichen Klappe grösser ist als die innere Breite des Rahmens 16, sodass die Stellklappen 19,20 nur bis in das Innere des Rahmens 16 hineingeklappt oder hineinverschwenkt werden können und dann der Beschlag 23 eine weitere Drehung verhindert. Damit wird erreicht, dass sich die Stellklappen 19,20 beim Einschwenken von selbst positionieren. Es können auch Rast- oder Federelemente zwischen den Stellklappen 19,20 und dem Rahmen 16, insbesondere den langen Teilen 17 des Rahmens, vorgesehen sein, mit denen die Stellklappen arretierbar sind.The flaps 19, 20 are fastened on a fitting 23, the transverse extent of which, at least in the area of the actual flap, is greater than the inner width of the frame 16, so that the flaps 19, 20 can only be folded into or swung into the interior of the frame 16 and then the fitting 23 prevents further rotation. So that will achieved that the flaps 19, 20 position themselves when swiveled in. Snap or spring elements can also be provided between the adjusting flaps 19, 20 and the frame 16, in particular the long parts 17 of the frame, with which the adjusting flaps can be locked.

Für die Benutzung des erfindungsgemässen Kinngurtes wird zuerst eine Stellklappe 19 für Kopfgrösse 58-60 eingeschwenkt, sodass sie die in den Figuren dargestellte Lage im Rahmen 16 einnimmt. Dann wird nach dem Aufsetzen des Helmes der Kinngurt durch Ziehen am Zugband 22 geweitet, sodass der Gurt über das Kinn geschoben werden kann. Durch die Spannung im Gurt werden die beiden Teil­stücke 11 und 12 im Klemmrollenverschluss 15 festgeklemmt, sodass sich die Länge des Gurtes nicht mehr verändert, und zwar auch dann nicht wenn z.B. bei einem Unfall erheblich Kräfte auf den Helm einwirken.
Soll der Helm bei einer anderen Kopfgrösse benutzt werden, so muss entsprechend der Kopfgrösse entweder überhaupt keine Stell­klappe oder beide Stellklappen eingeschwenkt werden.To use the chin strap according to the invention, an adjusting flap 19 for head size 58-60 is first pivoted in, so that it assumes the position shown in the figures in the frame 16. Then, after putting on the helmet, the chin strap is widened by pulling on the drawstring 22 so that the strap can be pushed over the chin. Due to the tension in the belt, the two sections 11 and 12 are clamped in the clamping roller fastener 15, so that the length of the belt no longer changes, even if, for example, considerable forces act on the helmet in the event of an accident.
If the helmet is to be used with a different head size, either no flap at all or both flaps must be swiveled in depending on the head size.

Zum Absetzen des Helmes wird am Zugband 22 so stark gezogen, dass das in den beiden Gurtteilen 11 und 12 enthaltene elastische Teilstück mindestens teilweise aus dem Verschluss 15 herausge­zogen ist. Durch diese Bewegung des Zugbandes 22 wird der Klemmrollenverschluss 15 geöffnet, wodurch der Kinngurt so­weit verlängert, dass der Gurt über das Kinn nach vorne abge­streift werden kann. Lässt man das Zugband 22 wieder los, so zieht sich der gedehnte elastische Teil der Gurtteile 11 und 12 wieder zusammen, sodass der Kinngurt wieder seine normale Länge erhält. Auch jetzt kann der Kinngurt durch unterschiedliches Ein­schwenken der Stellklappen 19,20 auf die verschiedenen gewünsch­ten Kopfgrössen eingestellt werden.To take off the helmet, pull on the drawstring 22 so much that the elastic section contained in the two belt parts 11 and 12 is at least partially pulled out of the closure 15. This movement of the drawstring 22 opens the pinch roller fastener 15, thereby extending the chin strap to such an extent that the strap can be stripped forward over the chin. If you let go of the drawstring 22 again, the stretched elastic part of the belt parts 11 and 12 contracts again, so that the chin belt regains its normal length. Even now, the chin strap can be adjusted to the different desired head sizes by pivoting the adjusting flaps 19, 20 differently.
