Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a protective helmet, in particular for motorcyclists, provided with a transparent visor able to protect the user from the wind and from the atmospheric agents, and with a second darkened visor able to protect the user from the direct sunlight.
  • the invention concerns the mechanism allowing the user to shift said sun visor from a use position to a non-use position and vice versa.
  • the positioning mechanism of said sun visor must be, as a consequence, simple and easily accessible in whatever drive conditions.
  • German patent DE 4416921 in the name of Schuberth-Werk GmbH & Co KG, describes a protective helmet provided with an external transparent visor and with a second internal transparent sun visor that can be lowered to occupy part of the user's field of view, or raised outside said field of view by acting on an activation element arranged on the front part of the helmet above the observation aperture provided in said helmet.
  • the positioning device of the described sun visor results to be complex and, as a consequence, its manufacturing could imply an excessive increase in the production costs of the protective helmet including said device.
  • a protective helmet comprising a sun visor provided with a positioning mechanism of said sun visor, said mechanism being simple and easily accessible in whatever drive conditions.
  • a further object of the present invention is that of realising a helmet provided with a simple and economical positioning mechanism of the sun visor that does not affect, if not marginally, the production cost of the helmet itself.
  • the helmet according to the invention provides for the presence of an external transparent visor, that wholly occupies the observation aperture of said helmet, and of an internal sun visor that can be lowered to occupy the upper part of said observation aperture, or raised and retracted into an interspace provided between the helmet shell and the internal padding of the helmet itself.
  • the positioning mechanism of said sun visor comprises a lever attached with one of its ends to the side extension of the sun visor itself, and with the other end to an activation element arranged on the external surface of the helmet shell.
  • said activation element is arranged laterally with respect to the observation aperture of the helmet, in particular on the left side, so as to be easily accessible, preferably by using the left hand, whatever the position of the external transparent sun visor might be.
  • Said actuation element controls translatory movements of said lever that are transformed in a rotation of the sun visor from a retracted non-use position to an advanced use position and vice versa.
  • the shifting from the wholly retracted position to the wholly advanced position can occur gradually, instead of occurring in one single movement. In this way, it is possible to avoid a too sudden and swift variation of the brightness conditions of the user's field of view, thereby assuring conditions of utmost comfort whatever the drive conditions might be.
  • the protective helmet 1 comprises a shell 7 in which a front observation aperture 3 is provided in correspondence with the position of the eyes of the user wearing said helmet 1.
  • Said helmet 1 further comprises a transparent visor 5, preferably realised in a plastic material, that is laterally hinged on the shell 7 of the helmet 1 by means of pins.
  • the visor 5 is of such a size that it can completely occupy said observation aperture 3.
  • the helmet 1 further comprises a second sun visor 11, internal with respect to said transparent visor 5 and parallel to it, preferably realised in a coloured plastic material, said sun visor 11 being laterally hinged on the shell 7 of the helmet 1 by means of pins 9.
  • Said sun visor 11 can shift from a retracted position inside the helmet 1, in an interspace expressly obtained above the observation aperture 3 between the shell 7 and the internal padding of the helmet 1, to an advanced position in which it occupies at least the upper portion of said observation aperture 3.
  • a positioning mechanism of said sun visor 11 comprises a lever 13 arranged inside the shell 7 of the helmet 1 and an activation element 15 arranged on the external surface 7a of said shell 7.
  • An aperture is provided in said shell 7 for allowing the connection between said lever 13 and said activation element 15.
  • said activation element 15 is arranged laterally to the observation aperture 3, in a position in which it is accessible whatever the position of the transparent external sun visor 5 might be.
  • said activation element 15 is arranged on the left of the helmet 1, so that the user can reach it effortlessly with his/her left hand without raising his/her right hand from the motorcycle accelerator.
  • said activation element 15 is constituted by a sliding cursor 17.
  • the foot 17a of said cursor 17 can slide inside a slit 19 obtained in the shell 7 of the helmet 1.
  • Said foot 17a of the cursor 17 penetrates through the slit 19 of the shell 7 and through a hole 21 obtained at one end of the lever 13.
  • the foot 17a is attached to said lever 13 by means of a closing plug 23 that is inserted by pressure or threaded in a recess 25 expressly obtained in the foot 17a of the cursor 17.
  • the lever 13 is kept adherent to the internal surface 7b of the shell 7 of the helmet 1 and is made integral with the cursor 17, so that to a translatory movement of said cursor 17 inside the slit 19 corresponds a translatory movement of the lever 13 and, as a consequence, a rotation movement of the sun visor 11 about the pins 9.
  • the opposite end of the lever 13 presents a projection 27 passing through a hole 29 obtained in an extension 11a of the sun visor 11 extending laterally to the observation aperture 3; said projection 27 of the lever 13 is blocked inside said hole 29 thanks to a rivet 31.
  • the relative position of the pin 9 and of the point in which the lever 13 is attached (that is of the hole 29) on the side extension 11 a of the sun visor 11 is such that to a translatory movement of said lever 13 corresponds a rotating movement of the sun visor 11 about the pins 9.
  • the lever 13 does not have a plane profile but presents a shaped profile so that it can adapt itself to the profile of the internal surface 7b of the shell 7 of the helmet 1, in particular to the step 33 provided around the observation aperture 3, and so that it can freely slide along said surface 7b between the positions corresponding to the two extreme positions of the cursor 17 inside the slit 19 without meeting any obstacle.
  • Figures 3 and 4 refer to a second embodiment of the protective helmet 1 according to the invention differing from the first above described embodiment in the fact that the shifting of the sun visor 11 from the retracted non-use position to the advanced use position and vice versa occurs by acting on a turning control.
  • the activation element 15 is constituted by a knob 35 arranged on the external surface 7a of the shell 7 of the helmet 1.
  • Said knob 35 comprises a prominence penetrating through a hole 37 expressly obtained in the shell 7 of the helmet 1 and terminating with a gear wheel 35a.
  • the lever 13 presents a slit 39 with a rack profile 41.
  • the gear wheel 35a meshes said rack profile 41 so that to a rotation of the knob 35 corresponds a translatory movement of the lever 13. Also in this case, said translatory movement of the lever 13 is transformed into a rotation movement of the sun visor 11 about the pins 9 between a retracted non-use position and an advanced use position.
  • the pitch of the rack profile 41 is small enough to allow a gradual and progressive movement of the lever 13 between the two positions corresponding to said two retracted and advanced positions of the sun visor 11.
  • a closing plug 43 is blocked in a suitable recess 45 obtained in the gear wheel 35a for assuring the coupling between said gear wheel 35a and the lever 13.
  • the lever 13 in order to allow the movement of the rack 41 by means of the gear wheel 35a, the lever 13 must extend itself for a length beyond the point corresponding to the knob 35.
  • a bracket 47 attached to said surface (for instance by means of gluing), through which the end of said lever 13 is made to pass.
  • the protective helmet according to the invention meets the predetermined objects of the invention, since it comprises a positioning device for the sun visor of simple manufacturing and use allowing the user to drive in conditions of utmost safety and comfort.
