  • Bump caps of this type protect against injuries in particular when bumping against hard or sharp-edged components or live parts. They offer opposite Protective helmets have the advantage of being a far higher Provide comfort because they do not need straps that under the chin lead to the headgear on the head because they are lighter than helmets and because they have less distance from the head, so they one less disability when working in confined spaces represent. Furthermore, industrial bumpers are becoming more likely worn as hard hats, because you give them the look of a usual cap, for example a baseball cap, can give.

  • the hard shell can be customized with upholstered parts be equipped when the cushion part detachable connected to the hard shell.
  • the shell can be independent of the hard shell, for example be washed in the washing machine when the Hard shell is removably disposed in the shell. Such a separation is therefore particularly advantageous because it is due to the movements in the washing machine to remain at the temperatures occurring Deformations of the hard shell comes.
  • the inventive Separation allows the hard shell as a separate component to wash by hand in the washbasin. Also the production the protective cap is simpler due to this separation, because this makes a cap manufacturer the complete Sheath manufacture and only later of a Suppliers supplied hard shells must mount. This also makes it possible, the cases for to design identical hardshells differently. Farther the manufacturer of the hard shell can be independent of Check the case for safety requirements enough.
  • the adjusting means for the protective cap are optimally designed if the adjustment of the sheath one in the back of the head trained as a pocket open at the top Belts have the edge of the hard shell on both sides overlaps and the one on the head facing Side has a textile adhesive strip on which another Textile adhesive strip of another belt is to press attached in the occipital area at the bottom of the envelope and to turn from outside to inside at first Belt is formed.
  • Figure 1 shows an inventive, as a baseball cap trained cap as a whole. You can see from the outside, only a shell 1, for example, from Fabric consists and front with a sewn screen 2 is provided.
  • Figure 2 shows that in the shell 1 a Hard shell 3 is integrated. This is inside in upper area a cushion part 4 releasably attached. To This attachment can be on the cushion part 4, for example elastically deformable, mushroom-like projections 5 are provided be, which reach through the hard shell 3.
  • the casing 1 has a pocket 6 near its edge at the bottom, which engages over the edge of the hard shell 3. On this Bag 6 is facing the inside of the protective cap Side attached a textile adhesive strip 7.
  • the Case 1 also has a lower edge 8, which is inside and also a textile adhesive strip 9 carries, which is in the textile adhesive strip. 7 hooked.
  • the textile adhesive strips 7, 9 form with the edge 8 an adjusting means 10, which allows the inner circumference Adjust the cap, which is the figure 3 especially clarified.
  • FIG. 3 shows the protective cap with its casing 1 and the edge 8, which in this illustration does not yet have the Hard shell 3 was turned over. It can be seen in FIG 3 a V-shaped recess 11 at the back of the shell 1, which is closed by a tab 14. The edge 8 runs on both sides of this incision 11 each as Strap 12, 13 off.
  • the belt 13 has the already in FIG 2 shown pocket 6, seen in Figure 3 after is open at the top.
  • the textile adhesive strip 7 is located in the position shown in Figure 3 on the outside of the belt 13.
  • FIG. 4 The exact design of the hard shell 3 results from Figures 4, 5 and 6.
  • This consists of a skullcap part 15, a front head part 16, an occipital part 17 and two side parts 18, 19, of which in FIG 3 only the side part 19 can be seen.
  • These joints 20, 21 are each through two in cross-section tapering inwardly, symmetrically mutually extending recesses 22, 23 are formed, which in the side parts 18, 19 to the skullcap part 15 lead into it.
  • brackets 25 in the form of oblong holes near the lower edge the side parts 18, 19. These brackets 25 allow it, not shown side part extensions, in particular Earmuffs to attach to the side panels 18, 19.
