Abstract

The motorcycle helmet has a main shell (1) covering the head, and a chin section (2) which swings between a lower closed setting and an upper open position at the shell. The swing visor (9) pivots on the chin section between open and closed positions. The chin section has a force on it in the opening direction (O), and the swing movement is damped by a brake unit (21) with a housing (22) where a viscous fluid dampens a rotor, which is coupled to an external brake pinion (23) by a shaft. The pinion meshes with teeth (24) at the main swing unit (11).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Motorrad-Integralhelm mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a motorcycle full-face helmet with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Helme sind auf dem Markt in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen erhältlich. Deren gemeinsame Hauptmerkmale sind die das Helm-Hauptteil bildende Helmschale und ein separates Kinnteil, das zwischen einer heruntergeklappten Schließstellung und einer hochgeklappten Offenstellung schwenkbar an der Helmschale gelagert ist. In diesem Merkmal unterscheidet sich der anmeldungsgemäße Integralhelm von üblichen starren Integralhelmen, bei denen das Kinnteil als einstückig an die Helmschale angeformte Bügel vor der Kinnpartie des Trägers verläuft. Demgegenüber ist das Kinnteil des anmeldungsgemäßen Helmes nach oben wegklappbar, um dem Träger beispielsweise während Fahrpausen die Möglichkeit zu geben, ohne Absetzen des Helmes ohne Behinderung durch das Kinnteil zu sprechen.Such helmets are available in the market in different embodiments. Their common main features are the helmet shell forming the helmet shell and a separate chin part, which is pivotally mounted between a folded-down closed position and a folded open position on the helmet shell. In this feature, the full-face helmet according to the application differs from conventional rigid integral helmets, in which the chin part extends as a bracket integrally formed on the helmet shell in front of the chin part of the wearer. In contrast, the chin part of the helmet according to the application can be folded upwards in order to give the wearer the opportunity, for example during driving breaks, to speak without putting down the helmet without being impeded by the chin part.

Schließlich ist bei derartigen Integralhelmen regelmäßig ein Visierteil vorgesehen, das zwischen einer Schließstellung und einer Offenstellung am Kinnteil schwenkbar gelagert ist.Finally, in such integral helmets a visor part is regularly provided, which is pivotally mounted between a closed position and an open position on the chin part.

Die vorstehend erörterten Motorrad-Integralhelme bekannter Art weisen hinsichtlich ihrer Komforteigenschaften und Handhabung diverse Nachteile auf. So ist das Kinnteil eine relativ voluminöse Einheit, die etwa 1/4 bis 1/5 des Gewichtes des Gesamthelmes ausmacht. Insoweit ist beim Hochklappen des Kinnteils eine relativ hohe Kraft aufzubringen, was die Handhabung erschwert.The motorcycle integral helmets of known type discussed above have various disadvantages in terms of their comfort properties and handling. Thus, the chin part is a relatively bulky unit, which accounts for about 1/4 to 1/5 of the weight of the total helmet. In that regard, when folding up the chin part a relatively high force is applied, which makes handling difficult.

Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, daß sowohl beim Auf- als auch Zuklappen das Kinnteil schwerkraftbedingt nach dem Überfahren seiner höchsten Position nach unten fällt und am Ende seiner Schwenkbewegung relativ unsanft durch die entsprechenden Schwenkanschläge an der Helmschale gebremst wird. Um dies zu vermeiden, muß der Helmträger darauf achten, das Kinnteil während des Hoch- oder Herunterklappens nicht loszulassen.Another problem is that both when opening and closing the chin part gravitationally falls after driving over its highest position down and is braked at the end of its pivoting movement relatively unsound by the corresponding pivot stops on the helmet shell. To avoid this, the helmet wearer must take care not to let go of the chin part during the up or down folding.

Aus der EP-A-0 797 935 ist ein gattungsgemäßer Integralhelm bekannt, der ebenfalls mit den vorstehend geschilderten Problemen behaftet ist.From EP-A-0 797 935 a generic full-face helmet is known which also has the problems described above.

Ausgehend von den geschilderten Nachteilen des Standes der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Motorrad-Integralhelm der gattungsgemäBen Art in seinem Komfort- und Handhabungseigenschaften zu verbessern und eine kompakte und damit auch optisch vorteilhafte Bauweise zu realisieren.Based on the described disadvantages of the prior art, the present invention seeks to improve a motorcycle full-face helmet of the generic type in its comfort and handling properties and to realize a compact and thus also optically advantageous construction.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Demnach ist das Kinnteil in Öffnungsrichtung seiner Schwenkbewegung kraftbeaufschlagt, so daß zumindest ein Teil der Gewichtskraft, insbesondere beim Hochklappen des Kinnteils, nicht von Hand aufgebracht werden muß. Die Betätigung des Kinnteils ist damit deutlich leichtgängiger zu realisieren. Die ferner vorgesehen Visco-Bremse zur Dämpfung der Schwenkbewegung verhindert, daß das Kinnteil - insbesondere jetzt unter dem Einfluß seiner zusätzlichen Kraftbeaufschlagung - bei einem Loslassen hart in den Endpunkten der Schwenkbewegung anschlägt. Vielmehr wird insgesamt und insbesondere durch das Zusammenwirken von Kraftbeaufschlagung und Visco-Bremse ein gleichmäßiger, sanfter Lauf des Kinnteils, insbesondere nach Passieren seines oberen Scheitelpunkts, erreicht.This object is achieved by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1. Accordingly, the chin part is subjected to a force in the opening direction of its pivotal movement, so that at least part of the weight force, in particular when folding up the chin part, does not have to be applied by hand. The operation of the chin part is thus much easier to realize. The further provided viscous brake for damping the pivoting movement prevents the chin part - especially now under the influence of its additional application of force - strikes hard at a release in the end points of the pivoting movement. Rather, overall, and in particular through the interaction of force and viscous brake is a uniform, gentle running of the chin part, especially after passing its upper apex reached.

Durch das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Bremsritzel, welches mit einer korrespondierenden Zahnung in Eingriff steht, wird eine kompakte, gut handhabbare und ästhetisch ansprechende Lösung geschaffen.The inventively provided brake pinion, which is in engagement with a corresponding toothing, a compact, easy to handle and aesthetically pleasing solution is created.

In den Unteransprüchen sind bevorzugte Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes angegeben, deren Merkmale, Einzelheiten und Vorteile in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

In the dependent claims preferred developments of the subject invention are given, whose features, details and advantages in the following description of an embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. Show it:
Fig. 1 and 2, respectively
schematic side views of a motorcycle integral helmet with the chin part in closed or open pivot position.

Wie aus Fig. 1 und 2 deutlich wird, wird das Helm-Hauptteil durch die eigentliche Helmschale 1 gebildet, die in üblicher Weise in der Grobform einer Kalotte mit einem frontseitigen Gesichtsausschnitt 2 gebildet ist. Die Helmschale 1 ist - wie nicht eigens dargestellt - im Inneren in üblicher Weise gepolstert und mit einem Kinnriemen versehen. Außenseitig trägt die Helmschale 1 verschiedene aerodynamische An- und Einformungen, wie die umlaufende, schmale Randschürze 3 und die eine Abrißkante 4 ausbildende, flache Vertiefung 5 im Hinterkopfbereich.As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, the helmet main part is formed by the actual helmet shell 1, which is formed in the usual way in the coarse form of a dome with a front face 2. The helmet shell 1 is - as not specifically shown - padded inside in the usual way and provided with a chin strap. On the outside, the helmet shell 1 carries different aerodynamic inputs and impressions, such as the circumferential narrow skirt 3 and the tear-off edge 4 forming, shallow recess 5 in the occipital region.

An der Helmschale 1 ist ein Kinnteil 6 schwenkbar gelagert, das im wesentlichen durch zwei seitliche, im Schläfen- und Ohrenbereich links und rechts mit der Helmschale 1 überlappende Wangen 7 und einen diese beiden Wangen 7 verbindenden, einstückig ausgeformten Kinnbügel 8 gebildet ist. In der in Fig. 1 gezeigten geschlossenen Stellung weist der Helm das Erscheinungsbild eines üblichen Voll-Integralhelmes mit starren Kinnbügel 8 auf. Durch das Hochschwenken des Kinnteils 6 wird praktisch der gesamte Gesichtsausschnitt 2 freigegeben (Fig. 2). Die dabei die Schwenkbewegung ermöglichende Lagerkonstruktion wird im folgenden noch näher beschrieben. Im übrigen ist das Kinnteil 6 in seiner geschlossenen Position durch eine nicht näher dargestellte Verrastung mit der Helmschale 2 verbunden.On the helmet shell 1, a chin part 6 is pivotally mounted, which is formed by two lateral, in the temple and ear area left and right with the helmet shell 1 overlapping cheeks 7 and one of these two cheeks 7 integrally formed chin guard 8. In the closed position shown in Fig. 1, the helmet has the appearance of a conventional full-integral helmet with rigid chin strap 8. By pivoting up the chin part 6, practically the entire face cutout 2 is released (FIG. 2). The case, the pivoting movement enabling bearing construction will be described in more detail below. Moreover, the chin part 6 is connected in its closed position by a locking not shown with the helmet shell 2.

Zum Schutz der Augen des Trägers gegen Fahrtwind, Wettereinflüsse und Fremdkörper ist am Kinnteil 6 ein Visierteil 9 oberhalb des Kinnbügels 8 schwenkbar angelenkt, das separat oder gemeinsam mit dem Kinnteil 6 wegschwenkbar ist. Die Lagerung des Visierteils 9 am Kinnteil 6 ist in bekannter Weise ausgeführt und der Übersichtlichkeit halber in den Zeichnungen ebenfalls nicht dargestellt.To protect the eyes of the wearer against wind, weather conditions and foreign objects, a sighting part 9 is pivoted on the chin part 6 above the chin guard 8, which can be pivoted separately or together with the chin part 6. The storage of the sighting part 9 on the chin part 6 is carried out in a known manner and also not shown in the drawings for the sake of clarity.

Die Schwenklagerkonstruktion für das Kinnteil 6 ist in Fig. 1 und 2 zur besseren Erkennbarkeit in durchgezogenen Linien dargestellt. In der Praxis sind die entsprechenden Bauteile natürlich nicht einsehbar von außen zwischen der Helmschale 1 und dem Kinnteil 6 plaziert.The pivot bearing construction for the chin part 6 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 for better visibility in solid lines. In practice, the corresponding components are of course not visible from the outside between the helmet shell 1 and the chin part 6 placed.

Wie nun aus den beiden Zeichnungen erkennbar ist, ist das Kinnteil 6 über zwei seitlich im Überlappungsbereich zwischen Helinschale 1 und den Wangen 7 des Kinnteils 6 angeordnete, übereinstimmende Lenkeranordnungen 10 schwenkbar an der Helmschale 1 gelagert, von denen in den Zeichnungen lediglich die linke Seite des Helmes mit der dortigen Lenkeranordnung 10 erkennbar ist. Diese besteht aus einem in Fahrtrichtung gesehen hinteren Hauptlenker 11, der über seine Schwenkachse 12 drehbar an der Helmschale 1 gelagert ist. Am freien Ende des Hauptlenkers 11 ist über einen ersten Anlenkpunkt 13 das Kinnteil 6 angekoppelt.As can now be seen from the two drawings, the chin part 6 is pivotally mounted on the helmet shell 1 via two laterally arranged in the overlapping region between the helium shell 1 and the cheeks 7 of the chin part 6, of which in the drawings, only the left side of the Helmes with the local handlebar assembly 10 can be seen. This consists of a seen in the direction of travel rear main link 11, which is rotatably mounted on the helmet shell 1 via its pivot axis 12. At the free end of the main link 11, the chin part 6 is coupled via a first articulation point 13.

In Fahrtrichtung vor dem Hauptlenker 11 ist ein Hilfslenker 14 über seine Schwenkachse 15 an der Helmschale 1 drehbar gelagert. An seinem freien Ende ist über einen weiteren Anlenkpunkt 16 wiederum das Kinnteil 6 angelenkt, so daß aufgrund der Doppellenkeranordnung 11, 14 das Kinnteil 6 eine Kinematik nach Art einer Viergelenk-Kette bei der Schwenkbewegung an den Tag legt. Durch die Positionierung und Auslegung der Lenker 11, 14 ist dabei gewährleistet, daß ausgehend von der geschlossenen Stellung (Fig. 1) in Öffnungsrichtung O das Kinnteil 6 zuerst im wesentlichen eine Aufwärtsbewegung macht, um es nach oben zu öffnen. Danach schließt sich die Schwenkbewegung zum Aufklappen des Kinnteils 6 nach oben-hinten an. Zur Erzielung dieser Kinematik liegen die beiden Schwenkachsen 12, 15 etwa auf gleicher Höhe. Hauptlenker 11 und Hilfslenker 14 weisen in der geschlossenen Stellung in einem Winkel von etwa 45° zur Horizontalen nach vorne-oben bzw. vorne-unten, so daß die beiden Lenker 11, 14 mit ihren Längsachsen einen Winkel W von ca. 90 ° einschließen. Dieser Winkel ist in der Offenstellung (Fig. 2) etwas verringert, die beiden Lenker 11, 14 weisen nach hinten entgegen der Fahrtrichtung bzw. schräg nach oben.In the direction of travel in front of the main link 11, an auxiliary link 14 is rotatably mounted on the helmet shell 1 via its pivot axis 15. At its free end, the chin part 6 is articulated again via a further articulation point 16, so that the chin part 6 forms a kinematics in the manner of a four-bar linkage during the pivoting movement due to the double linkage arrangement 11, 14. By positioning and design of the handlebars 11, 14 is ensured that starting from the closed position (Fig. 1) in the opening direction O, the chin member 6 first makes substantially an upward movement to open it upwards. Thereafter, the pivoting movement to unfold the chin part 6 connects up-rear. To achieve this kinematics, the two pivot axes 12, 15 are approximately at the same height. Main link 11 and auxiliary link 14 point in the closed position at an angle of about 45 ° to the horizontal forward-up or front-down, so that the two arms 11, 14 with their longitudinal axes form an angle W of about 90 °. This angle is slightly reduced in the open position (FIG. 2), the two links 11, 14 face towards the direction of travel or obliquely upwards towards the rear.

Wie aus den beiden Figuren hervorgeht, ist der Hauptlenker 11 in Draufsicht etwa birnenförmig gestaltet, so daß um seine Schwenkachse 12 herum ein Aufnahmeraum 17 für eine Spiralfeder 18 geschaffen wird. Diese stützt sich mit ihrem inneren Endschenkel 19 an der Helmschale 1 und mit ihrem äußeren Endschenkel 20 am Hauptlenker 11 selbst ab. Die Spiralfeder 18 ist dabei so unter Vorspannung eingesetzt, daß sie den Hauptlenker 11 und damit das Kinnteil 6 in Öffnungsrichtung O der Schwenkbewegung federkraftbeaufschlagt, so daß die vom Träger des Helms aufzuwendende Betätigungskraft in dieser Richtung erheblich vermindert wird.As can be seen from the two figures, the main link 11 is approximately pear-shaped in plan view, so that around its pivot axis 12 around a receiving space 17 for a coil spring 18 is provided. This is supported with its inner end leg 19 on the helmet shell 1 and with its outer end leg 20 on the main link 11 itself. The coil spring 18 is inserted so under bias that it is the main link 11 and thus the chin member 6 spring-loaded in the opening direction O of the pivoting movement, so that the expended by the wearer of the helmet actuating force in this direction is significantly reduced.

Zur Dämpfung der Schwenkbewegung des Kinnteils 6 in und entgegen der Öffnungsrichtung O ist schließlich eine als Ganzes mit 21 bezeichnete Visco-Bremse vorgesehen. Diese Visco-Bremse 21 als solche ist ein im Bereich der Automobil-Zulieferindustrie gängiges Bauelement, das zur Dämpfung von Schwenkbewegungen, beispielsweise von ausklappbaren Aschenbechern oder Getränkedosenhaltem in Fahrzeugen, verwendet wird. Die Visco-Bremse 21 weist ein Gehäuse 22 auf, in dem ein durch eine Visco-Flüssigkeit gedämpfter Rotor läuft. Dieser ist über eine Welle mit dem außenliegenden Bremsritzel 23 gekoppelt. Die Visco-Bremse 21 ist in Nachbarschaft zu dem Hauptlenker 11 montiert. Die Kopplung zwischen diesen beiden Bauteilen erfolgt durch eine Zahnung 24, die sich über eine Teillänge am Umfang des den Aufnahmeraum 17 bildenden Hauptlenkerabschnittes erstreckt. Das Bremsritzel 23 steht mit dieser Zahnung 24 in Eingriff, so daß bei einer Drehung des Hauptlenkers 11 das Bremsritzel 23 in Rotation versetzt wird. Durch die Bremswirkung der Visco-Bremse 21 wird diese Rotationsbewegung und damit die Schwenkbewegung des Hauptlenkers 11 und damit wiederum die des Kinnteils 6 gedämpft.In order to damp the pivoting movement of the chin part 6 in and against the opening direction O, a visco brake designated as a whole by 21 is finally provided. As such, this viscous brake 21 is a common component in the automotive supply industry, used to damp pivoting motions, such as folding ashtrays or beverage can holders in vehicles. The viscous brake 21 has a housing 22 in which a through a viscous liquid damped rotor is running. This is coupled via a shaft with the outer brake pinion 23. The viscous brake 21 is mounted adjacent to the main link 11. The coupling between these two components is effected by a toothing 24 which extends over a partial length on the circumference of the main link portion forming the receiving space 17. The brake pinion 23 is engaged with this toothing 24, so that upon rotation of the main link 11, the brake pinion 23 is set in rotation. By the braking action of the viscous brake 21, this rotational movement and thus the pivoting movement of the main link 11 and thus in turn that of the chin part 6 is attenuated.
