Definitions

  • the constructive design of protective helmets is as diverse as the areas of application, for which these helmets are made.
  • helmets whose Protective effect essentially on the rigidity of a monolithic helmet based.
  • Other helmet concepts particularly in the sports and leisure sector see the connection of a hard, impact-resistant outer shell with a cushioning, energy-destroying inner shell, e.g. B. made of expanded polystyrene or similar material.
  • the inner and outer shell are cohesively connected to each other, which creates an extraordinarily high protective effect is achieved for the helmet wearer.
  • Conventional strap systems consist of flat webbing straps mechanical fasteners are arranged on the helmet.
  • a system consists of two flat webbing straps each a side edge of the helmet are attached, the ends of which are each part of a have detachable closure device and after putting on the helmet and the application of the strap ends around the chin of the helmet wearer with the help of the closure device be connected to each other and in this way the connection between the head of the helmet wearer and the protective helmet.
  • Disadvantages of this simple embodiment are the limited adaptability to the head of the helmet wearer and in the insufficient position fixation and the associated displaceability of the helmet relative to the wearer's head, which reduces the protective effect of the helmet.
  • a chin strap for helmet-like headgear is known is slidably arranged on a fork belt by means of loops. Disadvantages of this The solution consists in the large manufacturing effort required for implementation is necessary.
  • the helmet can also be in an unfavorable position when worn do not slip as the chin strap is not fixed with respect to the fork strap is provided.
  • the patent US 4,044,400 contains a strap system for helmets, in which a Chin strap by means of slotted slide plates with those attached to the side of the helmet Flat belt loops is slidably connected.
  • the function of the system is in Asked if one of the flat belts used should twist.
  • the sliding ability of the slide plates on the flat belt loops is admittedly due to Friction between the flat belt loop and the looped around it Chin strap difficult when the chin strap is tensioned. A slipping of the However, this does not reliably prevent helmets from being worn.
  • the invention sets itself the task Easy to adjust strap system for protective helmets, one thing allows variable adaptation to the head of the helmet wearer, with twists of parts of the straps should not have a negative effect on the function.
  • the Adjustment according to the anatomical conditions of the helmet wearer should be carried out once and then without the express intervention of the carrier no longer change. Finding the ideal connection point between the The chin strap and the fork strap should be without the helmet wearer when the helmet is on Help of another person.
  • the helmet Rope element between two fastening points on the helmet shell like this attached that it forms a free hanging loop.
  • the rope element is with the Helmet shell, preferably removable or non-removable with the inner shell connected.
  • the fastening points are advantageous as close to the head as possible with multi-layered ones Helmets attached to the inner shell.
  • the Chin straps can be moved and fixed using a connecting element arranged.
  • the connecting elements serve on the one hand to guide the chin strap along the rope loops. So the helmet wearer can put on a helmet Choose the ergonomically optimal position of the chin strap. In this position with With the help of locking a positive or non-positive connection between the Rope loops and fasteners made to an unwanted Displacement of the connecting elements when force is applied (e.g. in the event of a fall of the helmet wearer) to prevent.
  • the connecting element can be inexpensive as a molded plastic part or deep-drawn part be trained.
  • the connecting element has a guide with a tubular tunnel, that encloses the rope element.
  • the connecting element also has a locking means for fixing the Position that the connecting element occupies relative to the cable element.
  • the Locking means can be, for example, a knurled screw, the shaft of protrudes from the outside through the wall of the guide inside and extends when actuated the knurled screw by turning the head of the knurled screw into the cable element presses and so a relative movement between the connecting element and rope element prevented.
  • the connecting element has on the side opposite the guide a receptacle for fixing the chin strap, which is preferably designed so that a length adjustment of the chin strap is also possible.
  • the chin strap itself is made of a flat strap material to fit the chin of the To achieve helmet wearer with the least possible surface pressure.
  • the connecting element there is the receptacle from a roller mechanism connected to the guide, in which a roller is movably mounted so that the chin strap wrapped around the roller Load is clamped in the direction of the chin strap so that it slips out is prevented.
  • the chin strap can also be used by other means, such as gluing or welding or using additional fasteners such as rivets, Screws or the like, inseparable from the inclusion of the connecting element be connected.
  • Such an inexpensive design is particularly useful for two-part chin strap, where the chin strap is adjustable in length is achieved otherwise.
  • the chin strap is divided into two. Both chin strap parts are on the respective side of the helmet with a connecting element and connected by this to the respective rope element. On the free one At the end of a chin strap part, a fixing element is attached, which makes it possible for the the other side of the helmet coming under the chin of the helmet wearer Chin strap part to establish a secure connection between the helmet and the Reaching the head of the helmet wearer.
  • This fixing element can be realized, for example, by two D-rings attached the free end of one chin strap part in one by sewing, gluing, welding or rivets formed loop of the chin strap part are attached.
  • D-rings are Formed from wire, which consists of a semicircular and one the ends of the Semicircle connecting straight section exist.
  • the loop of one Chin strap part wraps around the superimposed straight sections of the two D-rings.
  • the free end of the other part of the chin strap can thus freely through the two the end of a chin strap hanging D-rings are threaded that at Loading of the closed chin strap occurs a clamping effect, which is a loosening of the Prevents connection between the D-rings and the chin strap.
  • the fixing element can also consist of two releasably connectable to each other one end of the two chin strap parts arranged parts of a buckle consist.
  • part of such a buckle is integrated in the connecting element.
  • the cable element is preferably made Made of flexible material with a circular cross-section that extends in the longitudinal direction has the greatest possible resistance to deformation.
  • the lowest possible Bending stiffness of the material enables optimal adaptability of the Strap system on the head of the helmet wearer. Because great forces arise in the event of a fall the helmet shell work, the material of the straps may only stretch slightly Allow longitudinal direction to shift or lift the helmet from the To prevent the wearer's head.
  • the use of a round material cross section offers on the one hand the advantage of invariance over twists, on the other hand thereby the perfect functioning of the sliding mechanism between the rope element and the connecting element ensured.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of a bicycle helmet with an impact-resistant outer shell (7) and a form-fitting helmet inner shell.
  • a rope element (5) on the side of the temple area on the inside of the Helmet inner shell attached. From there the rope element (5) is in the back of the head of the helmet, where it is from the inside of the helmet through an opening to Guided outside and from there through an adjacent opening back into the Inside the helmet. From here, the cable element (5) extends into the Temple area of the other side of the helmet, where it is at the first attachment point appropriate position is determined.
  • the rope element (5) is thus connected to the inner helmet shell at three points. at the same effectiveness as with a four-point suspension, the two Rope elements (5) are replaced by a single rope in this solution. You also have to only two instead of four connections to the inner shell with additional fasteners be executed; the third attachment point in the back of the head is by passing the cable element (5) through existing openings in the Inner helmet shell realized.
  • fastening devices are used Use both a loosening of the connection between the rope element (5) and the helmet also an adjustment of the length of the rope element (5) on both sides of the Helms formed loops allows.
  • the adjustable fastening device consists of a sliding sleeve (8) and a Anchors (13), the outer contours of which are matched to one another such that the anchor (13) can be inserted into the sliding sleeve (8) and can be gradually locked inside.
  • the sliding cross section (10 and 14) of both parts is geometrically designed so that a relative rotation between armature (13) and sliding sleeve (8) about the longitudinal axis the sliding sleeve (8) is excluded. This feature will introduce the Anchor (13) and the subsequent finding of the locking positions easier or prevents incorrect insertion and at the same time prevents the Cable element (5) counteracted when using the helmet.
  • the gradual lockability of the armature (13) in the sliding sleeve (8) is by Interplay of the design features of the anchor (13), in particular the with resilient tab (15) and the nipple (16) attached to its end Integrated operating recess (17), and the sliding sleeve (8), in particular several in Distances along the sliding direction of the armature (13) attached to the wall of the Sliding sleeve (8) perpendicular to the sliding direction penetrating holes (11) through a slot (12) made in the sliding direction in the wall of the sliding sleeve (8) are in a linear connection with each other.
  • the sliding sleeve (8) is thus in the Inner helmet shell foamed that its mouth (9) essentially down showing exposed, the holes (11) and the slot (12) connecting them also are exposed and accessible from the inside of the helmet.
  • the anchor (13) is by means of Adhesive permanently attached to the end of the rope element (5), for what purpose the end of the cable element (5) into the fastening tube located on the anchor (13) (18) is introduced, whereby an intimate connection between anchor (13) and Rope element (5) is achieved.
  • the assembly of the strap system according to the invention with the help of the adjustable Fastening device takes place by inserting the armature (13) into the mouth (9) the sliding sleeve (8).
  • the correct insertion of the armature (13) is carried out by the Cross-sectional geometry of anchor (13) and sliding sleeve (8) facilitated. If the nipple (16) reaches the mouth (9) of the sliding sleeve (8), he continues the movement Resistance to. Now the nipple (16) against the resistance of the resilient Tab (15) pressed down, which allows further insertion of the anchor (13) becomes.
  • the user must remove the nipple (16) press down again to achieve a relative displacement between anchor (13) and To allow sliding sleeve (8).
  • an operating recess (17) integrated, which the transfer of the necessary Pressure is in the nipple (16) an operating recess (17) integrated, which the transfer of the necessary Pressure.
  • the operating recess is advantageously designed so that an actuation with a slim, tapered object, such as B. with a ballpoint pen, is made possible.
  • the operating trough (17) prevents the slipping pointed object.
  • the nipple (16) is removed from the hole by the pressure applied by the user (11) pushed out, which releases the locking and the anchor (13) can slide again in the sliding sleeve (8).
  • the user now pushes the anchor (13) like this long until the nipple (16) engages in the next hole (11). This process is Repeat until the hole (11) is reached that has the desired loop length guaranteed.
  • the procedure is analogous to increase the loop length.
  • the rope element (5) consists of a polyester fabric with a circular cross-section. This material has a low extensibility in the longitudinal direction at the same time low bending stiffness. This enables an optimal adjustment of the Strap system on the head of the helmet wearer. Because of the circular Cross-sectional area, the strap system is insensitive to twisting of the Rope element (5); in particular there is no negative impact on that Sliding behavior between rope element (5) and connecting element (1).
  • the strap system also includes a chin strap (6) on both sides attached connecting elements (1) made of polyamide.
  • This material is light impact resistant and has favorable properties with regard to the interaction with the Rope element (5) as a sliding pair.
  • the connecting element (1) consists of a receptacle (3) with a clamping roller mechanism for attaching and adjusting the length of the chin strap (6) and one Guide (2) for establishing the sliding connection with that on the inner helmet shell attached rope element (5).
  • the guide (2) consists of two parts, the lower one Part with the receptacle (3) is made in one piece.
  • the upper part is separate Component manufactured and has an outer shape, which is a positive Connection of the upper and lower part of the guide (2) enables.
  • the tunnel-like tube between the two parts of the guide (2) has one curved longitudinal axis, so that the displaceability between the guide (2) and Rope element (5) is not hindered.
  • the radius of curvature is chosen so that the rope element (5) on both sides of the guide (2) at least approximately within certain limits tangential to the curved longitudinal axis of the tunnel.
  • the guide (2) of the connecting element (1) also has a locking means (4) for fixing the position that the connecting element (1) relative to Rope element (5) takes.
  • the locking means (4) is a knurled screw, the Shaft in one from the outside transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel (4) through the wall of the
  • the guide (2) has a guided bore with an internal thread and which turns when the Screw head clockwise by the user into the rope element (5) presses and thereby a relative movement between the connecting element (1) and Rope element (5) prevented.
  • the screw head turns counterclockwise rotated, the end of the screw shaft is moved out of the cable element (5) and the guide (2) can slide freely on the cable element (5).
  • the strap system described enables due to the variable position of the Connecting element (1) with respect to the cable elements (5) a quick and easy Adaptation of the protective helmet to the head of the helmet wearer.
  • the locking means (4) is screwed out so far that the connecting element (1) is freely displaceable relative to the cable element (5). If the Helmet is put on, the connecting elements (1) align on both sides of the helmet by sliding on the rope loops in the same way as the chin strap (6) leads through requires under the chin of the wearer. Now the chin strap (6) under Use of the length adjustability made possible by the connecting element (1) streamlined, the force to be transmitted is so on the front and rear Section of the cable element (5) transferred that both sections in an ideal manner Attach and fix the helmet to the head of the helmet wearer. At the same time, the pinch roller mechanism integrated in the holder (3) prevents that the chin strap (6) can detach from the receptacle (3).
  • the two locking devices (4) clockwise the position of the connecting elements (1) is fixed relative to the cable elements (5). So that is the helmet is ideally adapted to the wearer's head and at the same time ensures that this remains in this position when force is applied without slipping, causing the Helmet wearer is reliably protected from injury.
  • the strap system described is simple and can be inexpensive to be produced.
