Abstract

The helmet has a length-adjustable, automatically positioned chin strap, which is part of the chin guard. This hinges upwards and moves on a concentric orbit about the guard pivot point. When the guard is closed, it engages tightly and securely on the neck of the wearer. The helmet also has a multi-sectional, external chin strap, which may be fitted in addition to the first one. This secures safe wearing of the helmet when the chin guard is pivoted upwards or has been removed.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schutzhelm, wie er im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs beschrieben ist.The invention relates to a protective helmet, as in the preamble of Main claim is described.

Seit dem Beginn der achtziger Jahre gibt es Schutzhelme (z.B. für Motorradfahrer), welche einen aufklappbaren Kinnteil aufweisen; solche Helme werden im nachfolgenden Klapphelme genannt. Diese Form des Schutzhelmes ermöglicht es z.B. Brillenträger den Schutzhelm ohne das Absetzen der Brille komfortabel aufzusetzen, oder z.B. Motorradpolizisten ohne das Absetzen des Schutzhelmes einen Dialog mit anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern bei geöffnetem Helmkinnteil zu führen. Die Anhäufung von mehreren Handgriffen beim Aufsetzen des Helmes (Aufsetzen, Kinnriemen schließen, Kinnteil herunterklappen) führt bei Kurzstrecken (z.B. im Stadtverkehr) häufg dazu, daß der Kinnriemen nicht geschlossen wird. Des weiteren neigen viele Schutzhelmträger bei hohen Außentemperaturen und niedriger Fahrgeschwindigkeit (z.B. innerstädtisch) mit geöffnetem Kinnteil zu fahren. Schließlich sind Klapphelme auf dem Markt sind, welche sich durch den Abbau des Kinnteils vom "Integralhelm" zum "Jethelm" umbauen lassen.Protective helmets (e.g. for motorcyclists) have existed since the beginning of the eighties, which have a hinged chin part; such helmets are used in called flip-up helmets below. This form of protective helmet makes it possible e.g. Glasses wear the safety helmet comfortably without taking off the glasses to put on, or e.g. Motorcycle police officers without taking off their protective helmets a dialogue with other road users with the helmet chin part open to lead. The accumulation of several steps when putting on the helmet (Put on, close chin strap, fold down chin part) leads for short distances (e.g. in city traffic) often to ensure that the chin strap is not closed. Of many people wear protective helmets at high outside temperatures and low driving speed (e.g. inner city) with the chin part open drive. After all, flip-up helmets are on the market, which are characterized by the Have the chin section dismantled from the "full face helmet" to the "open face helmet".

Die EP 0 258 496 B1 zeigt einen Schutzhelm mit hochklappbarem Kinnteil, bei dem sich ein Bügel, der die Funktion eines Kinnriemens übernimmt, beim Herunterklappen des Kinnteils automatisch anlegt. Dabei wird der Bügel über Kurvenscheiben und Schwenkgliedern relativ aufwendig gesteuert.EP 0 258 496 B1 shows a protective helmet with a fold-up chin part, in which a bracket, which takes over the function of a chin strap, at The chin section folds down automatically. The bracket is over Cam discs and swivel links controlled relatively complex.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Schutzhelm so auszulegen, daß er einfach aufgebaut und in komfortbaler Weise sicher am Kopf des Helmträgers festlegbar ist.The object of the invention is to design a generic hard hat so that it is simply constructed and securely attached to the head of the Helmet wearer can be determined.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object is achieved with the characterizing features of Main claim solved. Further advantageous designs result from the Subclaims.

Nach der Erfindung legt sich bei geschlossenem Kinnteil der Kinnriemen automatisch an. Bevorzugt der Helmträger mit hochgeklapptem oder abgenommenem Kinnteil zu fahren, kann er an der Helmschale zusätzlich einen Kinnriemen befestigen, den er dann in bekannter Weise händisch schließt. Damit ist das sichere Tragen des Schutzhelms in diesen Situationen gewährleistet. Demnach bewirkt ganz allgemein die Erfindung eine zwangsweise Benutzung des Kinnriemens bei geschlossenem Kinnteil, die zu einer Erhöhung der Sicherheit bei einem eventuellen Unfall führt. Dabei zeichnet sie sich durch eine komfortablere Benutzung aus, indem einige Handgriffe beim Aufsetzen und Schließen des Schutzhelmes wegfallen. Dennoch bleiben alle Funktionsmerkmale eines Klapphelmes aufrechterhalten. Desweiteren kann der Schutzhelmträger z.B. bei hohen Außentemperaturen das Kinnteil abnehmen; durch den an der Helmschale zu befestigenden Zweitkinnriemen ist auch in diesem Fall das sichere Tragen des Schutzhelmes gewährleistet.According to the invention, the chin strap lies down when the chin part is closed automatically. Preferably the helmet wearer with the or to remove the removed chin part, he can also use the helmet shell Fasten the chin strap, which he then closes by hand in a known manner. So that is ensures the safe wearing of the safety helmet in these situations. Therefore In general, the invention causes a forced use of the Chin strap with the chin part closed, which contributes to an increase in safety leads to a possible accident. It is characterized by a more comfortable Use by a few simple steps when putting on and closing the Safety helmet. Nevertheless, all functional features remain one Keep the flip-up helmet on. Furthermore, the protective helmet wearer can e.g. at remove the chin section at high outside temperatures; through the on the helmet shell fastening the second chin strap is also the safe wearing of the Protective helmet guaranteed.

In einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung ist der Kinnriemen so am Kinnteil befestigt, daß er sich beim Herunterklappen des Kinnteils auf einer konzentrischen Kreisbahn um den Kinnteildrehpunkt bewegt und in der geschlossenen Kinnteilstellung zur festen, sicheren Anlage am Hals des Schutzhelmträgers führt. In an expedient embodiment, the chin strap is attached to the chin part in such a way that he is on a concentric circular path when the chin part is folded down moved around the pivot point of the chin and in the closed position of the chin part firm, secure contact with the neck of the helmet wearer.

Weiter ist es zweckmäßig die Länge der Kinnriemen veränderbar auszulegen, so daß der jeweilige Benutzer sie für seine Bedürfnisse individuell einstellen kann. Eine Steigerung des Komforts wird durch eine Polsterung der Kinnriemen erreicht.It is also expedient to design the length of the chin strap so that it can be changed that the respective user can set them individually for his needs. A Comfort is increased by padding the chin straps.

In einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausführung wird der am Kinnteil vorgesehene Riemen so ausgelegt und befestigt, daß er abgenommen und an der Helmschale befestigt werden kann. In diesem Fall entfällt das Mitführen eines zweiten Kinnriemens.In a particularly expedient embodiment, the one provided on the chin part Strap designed and attached so that it can be removed and attached to the helmet shell can be attached. In this case, there is no need to carry a second one Chin strap.

Ein Klapphelm 1 nach Fig. 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei Hauptbauteilen: einer Helmschale 2 und einem Kinnteil 3, das drehbar an der Helmschale 2 angelenkt ist. Hierfür ist an jeder Helmseite ein Drehgelenk vorgesehen; der Drehpunkt des einen Gelenks ist in Fig. 2 mit 4 bezeichnet. Durch diese Anordnung läßt sich das Kinnteil 3 zum Abnehmen des Helmes nach oben klappen, wie dies wiederum in Fig. 2 mit der strichpunktierten Linie 5 angedeutet ist. A flip-up helmet 1 according to FIG. 1 essentially consists of two main components: one Helmet shell 2 and a chin part 3 which is rotatably articulated on the helmet shell 2. For this purpose, a swivel joint is provided on each side of the helmet; the fulcrum of one Joint is designated by 4 in FIG. 2. With this arrangement, the chin part 3 fold up to remove the helmet, as shown in Fig. 2 with the dash-dotted line 5 is indicated.

Fig.3 zeigt einen insgesamt mit 6 bezeichneten Kinnriemen, der an beiden Seiten der Helmschale in der Nähe des Drehpunktes 4 fixiert und zwar in der Weise, daß er mit dem Kinnteil fest verbunden ist. Er bewegt sich beim Öffnen des Kinnteil 3 auf einer konzentrischen Kreisbahn um den Drehpunkt 4. Er bewegt sich dabei vom Hals des nicht dargestellten Schutzhelmrägers weg, an der Kinnspitze und später an der Augenhöhe vorbei und ermöglicht dabei das Absetzen des Helmes. Die Bewegungsbahn ist in Fig. 2 wiederum mit 7 bezeichnet.Fig. 3 shows a chin strap, generally designated 6, on both sides the helmet shell near the fulcrum 4 fixed in such a way that he is firmly connected to the chin part. It moves up when the chin part 3 is opened a concentric circular path around pivot point 4. It moves from Neck of the safety helmet wearer, not shown, away at the chin tip and later on past eye level and thereby allows the helmet to be removed. The Movement path is again designated 7 in FIG. 2.

Der Kinnriemen 6 wird rechts und links an der Innenseite des Kinnteil 3 mittels geschlitzter Befestigungsbleche 8 fixiert, die mit mehreren Schrauben 9 am Kinnteil 3 befestigt sind. Dabei ist ein Ende 10 des Kinnriemen 6 durch einen Schlitz 11 (Fig. 2) des in Fig. 3 linken Befestigungsbleches 8 geführt, umgeschlagen und wieder mit dem Kinnriemen vernäht. Auf der anderen Seite wird das entsprechende Ende 12 des Kinnriemen 6 durch einen vergleichbaren Schlitz des dortigen Befestigungsbleches 8 geführt und mit dem Abschnitt des Kinnriemens zwischen den Befestigungsblechen über eine Schnalle 13 reibschlüßig verbunden. Diese Schnalle gewährleistet neben der Fixierung des Kinnriemens ebenfalls noch seine Längeneinstellbarkeit. Diese Einstellbarkeit ist wegen der Anpassung des Helmes an die unterschiedlichen Kopf- und Halsformen der Schutzhelmträger erforderlich. Schließlich wird der Kinnriemen 6 zwischen den Befestigungsblechen 8 mittels einer Komfortpolsterung 14 abgedeckt.The chin strap 6 is on the right and left on the inside of the chin part 3 by means of slotted mounting plates 8 fixed with several screws 9 on the chin part 3 are attached. One end 10 of the chin strap 6 is through a slot 11 (Fig. 2) the left in Fig. 3 mounting plate 8, folded and again with sewn on the chin strap. On the other hand, the corresponding end becomes 12 the chin strap 6 through a comparable slot of the one there Fastening plate 8 out and with the section of the chin strap between the mounting plates frictionally connected via a buckle 13. This In addition to fixing the chin strap, the buckle also ensures its Adjustable length. This adjustability is due to the adjustment of the helmet to the different head and neck shapes of the protective helmet wearer. Finally, the chin strap 6 between the mounting plates 8 by means of a Comfort padding 14 covered.

Fig. 4 zeigt einen zweiten Kinnriemen, der an der Helmschale befestigt werden kann. Er ist dann vorgesehen, wenn das Kinnteil entweder hochgeklappt oder abmontiert ist. Der Kinnriemen 15 ist mehrteilig ausgelegt und Teilabschnitte 16, 17 sind mittels Schrauben oder Niefen rechts und links in der Helmschale befestigbar. Die Helmschale und die Festlegung des Kinnriemens in der Helmschale sind in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellt, jedoch zeigen die Teilabschnitte 16, 17 Laschen 18, 19 mit Durchgangslöchern für die Befestigungsschrauben oder -nieten.Fig. 4 shows a second chin strap, which are attached to the helmet shell can. It is provided when the chin part is either folded up or is removed. The chin strap 15 is designed in several parts and sections 16, 17 can be attached to the right and left of the helmet shell using screws or recesses. The helmet shell and the fixing of the chin strap in the helmet shell are shown in Fig. 4 not shown, but the sections 16, 17 show tabs 18, 19 with Through holes for the fastening screws or rivets.

Am anderen Ende der Teilabschnitte 16, 17 befinden sich Verbindungselemente 20, 21, an denen sich zwei Mittelteilen 22, 23 des Kinnriemens 15 befestigen lassen. At the other end of the sections 16, 17 there are connecting elements 20, 21, to which two middle parts 22, 23 of the chin strap 15 can be attached.

Die Verbindungselemente 20, 21 sind hierzu als Ösen ausgelegt und lassen sich in Knöpfe 24, 25 der Mittelteile 22, 23 einhängen. Fig. 5 zeigt als Einzelheit X der Fig. 4 die hinterschnittene Form des Knopfes 25. Die Verbindungen der Mittelteile 22, 23 mit den die Knöpfe 24, 25 tragenden Bauteile und der Kinnriemenabschnitte 16, 17 mit ihren Verbindungselementen 20, 21 erfolgen über Durchschlaufen, Umschlagen und Vernähen der Enden der Mittelteile 22, 23 und entsprechend der Enden der Kinnriemenabschnitte 16, 17.The connecting elements 20, 21 are designed for this purpose as eyelets and can be hung in buttons 24, 25 of the middle parts 22, 23. Fig. 5 shows as a detail X 4 shows the undercut shape of the button 25. The connections of the middle parts 22, 23 with the components carrying the buttons 24, 25 and the chin strap sections 16, 17 with their connecting elements 20, 21 are carried out by looping through, turning over and sewing the ends of the middle parts 22, 23 and corresponding to the ends of the chin strap sections 16, 17.

Das Mittelteil 22 weist ein Schloß 25 auf, das über eine Druck- oder Schiebetaste 26 betätigbar ist. Desweiteren ist das Mittelteil 22 mit einer Komfortpolsterung 27 unterlegt, um so den Tragekomfort des Kinnriemens zu verbessern. Das Gegenstück zum Schloß 25, nämlich eine Schloßzunge 28 ist mit dem zweiten Mittelteil 23 vernäht. Beim Schließen des Kinnriemens werden in bekannter Weise Schloß und Schloßzunge ineinander gesteckt und in entsprechender Weise wird die Druck- oder Schiebetaste betätigt, um die Teile wieder zu lösen.The middle part 22 has a lock 25, which has a push or slide button 26 can be actuated. Furthermore, the middle part 22 has a comfort padding 27 padded to improve the comfort of the chin strap. The Counterpart to the lock 25, namely a lock tongue 28 is with the second Middle part 23 sewn. When closing the chin strap in a known manner Lock and tongue inserted into each other and in a corresponding manner Push or push button pressed to release the parts again.

Das der Schloßzunge 28 abgewandte Ende des Mittelteils 23 wird durch das den Knopf 25 tragende Baute durchgeschlauft, aber nicht vernäht. Es vielmehr zu einer Schnalle 29 geführt und dort reibschlüssig gehalten. Auf diese Weise ist der gesamte Kinnriemen 15 in der Länge einstellbar und somit auf Kopf- bzw. Halsform des Schutzhelmträgers adaptierbar. Die beiden Mittelteile 22, 23 lassen sich - wie oben bereits angedeutet - bei Bedarf an die helmschalenfest montierten Kinnriementeile 16, 17 anknöpfen und bilden dann eine vergleichbare Funktion zu den bisher gebräuchlichen Standardkinnriemen . Falls die Mittelteile 22, 23 - die in dem beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel den eigentlichen zusätzlichen Kinnriemen bilden - nicht benutzt werden, kann der Schutzhelmträger diese als loses Zubehör mitführen. Die helmschalenfesten Kinnriementeile 16, 17 verbleiben an ihrer Position, haben allerdings dann keine Funktion mehr. Gegebenenfalls können sie in entsprechende Aufnahmetaschen innerhalb des Helmes eingesteckt werden, so daß sie von außen nicht mehr sichtbar sind. The end of the middle part 23 facing away from the lock tongue 28 is replaced by the Button 25 supporting structures looped through, but not sewn. Rather, it becomes one Buckle 29 guided and held there frictionally. In this way it is entire chin strap 15 adjustable in length and thus on head or neck shape the helmet wearer adaptable. The two middle parts 22, 23 can - how already indicated above - if necessary to the helmet shell fixed Button the chin strap parts 16, 17 and then form a comparable function the previously used standard chin strap. If the middle parts 22, 23 - the in the described embodiment, the actual additional chin strap form - not used, the hard hat wearer can use them as loose accessories carry along. The helmet-shell-fixed chin strap parts 16, 17 remain on it Position, but then no longer have a function. If necessary, you can in appropriate pockets are inserted inside the helmet so that they are no longer visible from the outside.
