Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a military protective helmet as defined in the introductory portion of claim 1.
  • Current military protective helmets generally comprise a shell of plastics material or laminated plastic capable of withstanding strikes, ballistic impact or the like, the shell being composed of a defined number of fabric layers in a resin matrix such as polyester, phenolic resin etc.
  • a supporting basket including shock absorbing means and a suspension net and a head band, generally a leather band.
  • This basket is firmly secured to the shell by means of holders.
  • the helmet is also provided with a strap set including a chin and nape strap which are also fixed to the shell by means of buckles and fasteners.
  • the free outer edge of the shell is trimmed with a padded band, especially a rubber band.
  • the basket with its shock absorbing means prevents the head of the soldier from coming in contact with the shell in case of impact.
  • the military protective helmet is firmly held on the soldier's head via the strap set.
  • the holders serve to fasten the basket and the strap set to the shell and are each affixed to the shell by bolt-liner joints inserted into an associated bore in the shell.
  • US-PS 2,532,442 discloses a military helmet with an inlay and a supporting structure made of a plurality of interconnected straps and adapted to support said inlay on the wearer's head without permitting the inlay to contact the head of the wearer.
  • the inlay is connected to the shell with the help of several rivets.
  • military helmets are provided with three holders for the basket and the strap set, two being fitted one on either lateral side of the helmet and the other to the rear.
  • Such a military helmet is disclosed for instance in DE 94 09 465 U1.
  • Known helmet structures have the disadvantage of requiring relatively wide bores and bolt-liner joints to mount the holders in order to transmit applied forces and moments. This, however, impairs the ballistic and impact proof properties considerably as the laminated fabric will be damaged by the wide bore. In an area of approximately three centimeters around the bore the required ballistic proof property and the impact resistance or the like of the helmet are significantly reduced.
  • a further military helmet is disclosed in WO 97/37553, which has an outer shell free of apertures and an inner liner carrying the means for securing a chin strap array.
  • the inner liner is secured to, the outer shell by a mechanical interlock at the lower edge of the inner liner and the lower edge.
  • the mechanical interlock is a resilient channel member clipped over the edge of the outer shell and affords a lip engaging the inner liner to hold it within the outer shell when pushed therein.
  • adhesive is located between the inner liner and the outer shell.
  • the tough, thin inner liner contacts at least 95 % of the inner surface of the outer shell.
  • a holder that grips around the outer edge of the shell and engages the shell on either side ensures a first attachment of the holder to the shell without having to cut right through the laminated fabric, thus substantially retaining the properties of the shell in this area.
  • the holder for the basket and/or the strap set is, therefore, U-shaped in section, folds over the outer edge of the shell and engages the associated portion on either side of the shell.
  • the holder is connected to the basket but also to the strap set, so that the holder performs the dual function of fastening the strap set and the basket.
  • the holder comprises grip means engaging the plastics material, especially the plastic laminate of the shell, in the form of pointed teeth or the like. These teeth extend substantially horizontally from the holder into the shell, so as to ensure optimum transmission of tangential forces from the shell to the basket and the strap set and vice versa.
  • grip means according to a further embodiment of the invention are arranged in mutual alignment on opposite sides.
  • the holder In order to ensure uniform transmission of the forces on the holder from the basket and/or the strap set to the shell, the holder preferably firmly bears on to the inner surface and the outer surface of the shell, at least in some areas.
  • the holder protrudes outwardly from the outer edge of the shell, so that the lower U-shaped area of the holder is adapted to receive the strap set.
  • the lower U-shaped area is formed to mate with the buckle of the strap set and the horizontal part of the U-shaped holder is V-shaped in section. A relatively simple construction can thus accommodate the strap set in the holder.
  • the holder and the shell each are provided with relatively aligned bores to be engaged by a pin which connects the two vertical walls of the U-shaped holder.
  • These bores may thus be of much smaller dimensions than those in known military helmets, where the holder is affixed to the shell by means of a single bolt-liner joint inserted in a bore. The provision of a wide bore tends to degrade the properties of the shell in this area.
  • this padded band covers the related vertical portion of the U-shaped holder and is provided with an aperture to allow the lower U-shaped portion of the holder to pass through. As a result the lateral padding is maintained intact even in the area of the holder attachment.
  • the vertical inner portion of the U-shaped holder extends further upward than the vertical outer portion of the U-shaped holder.
  • the upper region of the inner portion of the U-shaped holder is provided with a recess to secure the basket.
  • the vertical inner portion of the U-shaped holder above the grip means is provided with a cutout, so that the grip means can be made from the material of the vertical wall by subsequent bending towards the shell.
  • the holder can be manufactured as a onepiece thus reducing the cost of manufacture considerably.
  • the holder consists of metal, and is especially made of sheet metal.
  • a military protective helmet 10 consists of a skull shaped shell 12 made up of a plastic laminate including a specific number of fabric layers embedded in a resin matrix such as polyester, phenolic and exhibiting defined ballistic and impact proof properties. Inside the shell 12 there is provided a suspended basket 14 which is provided with shock absorbing devices 16, a net 18 as well as a leather headband 20.
  • shock absorbing devices 16, the net 14 and the headband 20 are interlaced by a strap spider 22 so as to form the basket 14.
  • the military protective helmet 10 is further provided with a strap set not shown in detail which is connected to either lateral side of the shell 12 respectively by a buckle 24 and a holder 26.
  • the basket 14 is also connected to the holder 26, so that the holder 26 performs the dual function of fastening the strap set and the basket 14.
  • the holder 26 is substantially U-shaped in section and comprises two vertically extending walls 28 and 30.
  • the wall 28 bears on to the outer surface of the shell 12 and the vertical wall 30 contacts essentially the inner surface of the shell 12.
  • Both vertical walls 28 and 30 are joined by a V-shaped horizontal part 32 of the U-shaped holder 26.
  • the wall 30 is longer and extends further upwards other than the wall 28.
  • the two vertical walls 28 and 30 as well as the shell 12 are provided with a respectively aligned bore 36 to be engaged by a pin 37.
  • the V-shaped horizontal part 32 protrudes below the outer edge 39 of the shell 12 and is adapted to receive the buckle 24.
  • a padded band 40 folds over the outer edge 39 of the shell 12 and is provided adjacent to the holder 26 with an aperture 42 to allow the lower portion 32 of the holder 26, i. e. the V-shaped horizontal part, to pass through.
  • the basket 14 is connected to the upper bore 34 in the wall 28, preferably via a snap fastener.
  • the holder 26 is a onepiece part and fabricated in one operation. To achieve this a cutout 44 is made in the wall 30 during the manufacturing process so that the cutout material can be used to form the teeth 38 by subsequent bending in the direction towards the wall 28. As a result the weight of the holder 26 can be reduced.
  • the end of the wall 28 is defined by the teeth 38.
  • the teeth 38, the bores 34 and 36 as well as the cutout 44 can easily be made by a machining process. In a subsequent step the holder 26 is formed correspondingly.
  • the holder 26 consists of metal and is fabricated from a sheet metal.
  • the invention is primarily characterized by the fact that the teeth 38 on the one hand dig into the shell 12 from the inside and from the outside which avoids severing the laminated fabric and on the other hand allow the holder 26 to be firmly secured.
  • the additional bore 36 can thus be kept much smaller than in current helmets.
  • the holder 26 is easy, to manufacture and to mount and remains invisible from the outside in the area of its attachment to the shell 12 as it is completely covered by the padded band 40.
  • the ballistic proof properties of the military protective helmet 10 remain thus substantially unaffected by the manner of attaching the holder 26, and the number of parts required can be reduced and accordingly the weight as well.
