Definitions
- the object of this invention is a crash-helmet for motorcyclists and sportspeople in general, provided with adjustable means for screening incident light rays and which allow therefore to create, both in the natural light and with a strong light radiation, as well as in the artificial light, the best conditions for a good vision, indispensable for safety and comfort reasons, particularly when one is driving fast vehicles, such as motorcycles, sports cars and the like.
- crash-helmets for motorcyclists and in general for people taking part in sports competitions that require the use of crash-helmets are realized in form of full cap, which, as is the case with integral helmets, is provided in the front part, in correspondence of the eyes, with an opening which can be closed by means of a transparent raisable and/or removable visor.
- helmets have a cap or external shell of rigid and resistant material, such as polycarbonate or the like or of composite materials, internally lined with a safety padding and with a covering of soft material contituting a comfort padding.
- the helmets of the open type commonly called “Jet” or “Demijet” have similar structures. These helmets have a particular structure and a wrap-around form, without - as far as possible - external surface unevennesses, protrusions or the like, both for safety reasons and to satisfy specific aerodynamic requirements.
- the visor is normally realized with high transmittance coulourless transparent materials, such as to permit a good visibility even in conditions of middle or even very low light conditions, as for instance at night or in artificially illuminated tunnels, so that safety and comfort in the vehicle driving are ensured even when the environment conditions are not very favourable.
- the transparence characteristics of the visor, together with those of mechanical resistance, are defined according to specific norms provided with in each country on the basis of safety criteria for helmet users and towards third parties.
- Visors which, as said, have to satisfy requirements of safety and therefore of high transparence even in condition of poor or in any case non optimal light, have a drawback in that with high radiation and high light intensity, such as for instance in bright sunshine, in summertime, in particularly sunny geographical regions and the like, cannot absorb a quantity of light rays sufficient and such as to ensure to the vehicle driver relaxing driving conditions.
- Object of this invention is the realization of a crash-helmet provided with means suitable to regulate the screening of incident light rays in function of the light conditions, and therefore such as to ensure comfort and drive safety in any light condition.
- Another object of the invention is the realization of a crash-helmet provided with means allowing to easily and rapidly adjust the screening of light rays even in condition of abrupt change of the environment light, such as for instance the entry and/or exit from tunnels, the passage from sunny to shadow zones and the like.
- Still another object of this invention is the realization of a crash-helmet provided with means allowing to regulate the screening of light rays without alterating the characteristics of aerodynamics of the helmet.
- a crash-helmet for motorcylists and sportspeople in general of the type constituted by a cap of rigid material, provided with safety padding and comfort padding and with an opening placed in correspondence of the eyes,
- helmet according to the present invention, comprises:
- Both visors can be raised or lowered by hand-operating special devices suitably provided and easily manoeuvrable from the outside of the helmet; for instance, the first high transmittance visor can be manoeuvred and fixed in the wished position by means of screw-adjustable knurled ring nuts, adjustable, of a known type, provided directly in correspondence with the side pins on which the visor is rotatably hinged.
- the second low transmittance visor can be advantageously manoeuvred by hand-operating a sliding knurled element provided outside the cap and integral with said second low transmittance visor through a slit/guide made in the front part of the cap, said knurled element being translable along said slit/guide and placeable in the wished position by means of special stops and/or stop positions provided along said slit.
- this second visor can be raised and lowered with great rapidity and easiness by the helmet user, without interrupting the run of the vehicle, and using for a very short time one only hand, so that the user can screen the light rays at any moment and as he wishes and even abruptly, for instance when entering in tunnels and/or passing from tunnels into very sunny zones, or when crossing at night from far off other vehicles with high beams, and in any situation whatever of abrupt passage from a strong light radiation area to a poor light area and vice-versa.
- Said second visor may preferably concern only the upper part of the front opening of the helmet; in fact, the low transmittance visor is normally lowered to absorb intense light rays falling from above.
- Said second visor is preferably placed in the inner part of the helmet, at the back of said first visor, so as to be covered and protected by the first visor and not to constitute an element of wind resistance, in particular in high speed runnings, with ensuing difficulties for its positioning, keeping in position and with ensuing alteration of the conditions of aerodynamics of the helmet.
- the first and second visors are "disappearing" raisable into a special housing or hollow space provided between the cap and the safety padding, above the helmet opening.
- Said second visor can be advantageously made of any plastic material having high properties of absorption of light rays, of a known type and usually utilized for the making of spectacles and visors suitable to protect the eyes from intense light sun rays and even provided with material mirror-treated on the surface.
- plastic material having high properties of absorption of light rays
- the crash-helmet according to this invention is constituted in particular by an integral type helmet for motorcyclists, drivers of racing cars and the like.
- the helmet is constituted by the rigid external cap 1, inside which the safety padding 2 with the associated comfort padding 3 are provided.
- the first visor 5 is made of high transmittance materials and is suitable to completely close the helmet opening
- the second visor 6 is made of high light radiation absorption materials, and is suitable to cover, once lowered, the upper part of the helmet opening.
- Both visors 5 and 6 are raisable and/or lowerable by rotation on pins placed at the sides of the cap, non represented on Fig. 1 and indicated by 7 in figures 2 to 4.
- Visor 5 is manoeuvred by operating direcly on the visor or through special ring nuts of known type (non represented), provided in correspondence of pins 7.
- Visor 6 which in the embodiment forms illustrated in the drawings is inside the helmet with respect to visor 5 and at the back of the latter, is manoeuvred by operating directly the knurled element 8, integral with the visor and sliding in a special slit/guide provided in the front part of the cap; besides, the knurled element can be brought to the wished position by means of special stops and/or stop positions provided along said slit.
- the hollow space or cavity 4 is provided, suitable to contain until disappearance, when in raised position, the first visor 5 and the second visor 6, independent on one another.
