Definitions
- the present invention relates to a helmet according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Helmets with display devices are known from motor racing and from the aircraft sector. Display devices on helmets must necessarily be arranged in the driver's field of vision, which can represent a potential source of danger.
- the object of the invention is to create a helmet, in particular a racing helmet for motorcyclists or motorists, which can be equipped with a display device and yet offers a high degree of safety.
- the invention is based on a helmet with a helmet shell which is lined on its inside with a shock-absorbing material, for example with a foam, and which has a recess which forms a field of vision for the driver.
- a chin guard is provided below this recess in the helmet shell.
- the basic principle of the invention is to provide at least one pot-shaped recess on the inside of the chin guard.
- the cup-shaped recess is provided for receiving a display device. More precisely, a display device can be inserted into the pot-shaped recess, which then protrudes somewhat from the top of the pot-shaped recess.
- the display device has a display field from which the helmet wearer can then read information.
- the pot-shaped recess preferably consists of a dimensionally stable material.
- the pot-shaped recess is open at the top.
- the cup-shaped recess is arranged off-center with respect to the helmet.
- the recess is preferably arranged in the area below the right or left eye of the helmet wearer. A display device inserted into the pot-shaped recess can thus be read easily.
- two such cup-shaped recesses are provided, namely one in the area of the right eye and the other in the area of the left eye of the helmet wearer.
- the pot-shaped recess can be made, for example, from a fiber layer material, such as aramid fibers.
- a fiber layer material such as aramid fibers.
- Kevlar brand name A very well known material that is suitable for this is known under the Kevlar brand name.
- the cup-shaped recess is made of a relatively hard or dimensionally stable material, it is covered towards the inside of the helmet or towards the chin of the helmet wearer by a layer of elastic material, for example elastic foam. If, as described above, two such cup-shaped recesses are provided, the area can also between the two recesses, that is to say the central region of the chin guard, be filled with such an elastic material or elastic foam. Furthermore, the side areas of the cup-shaped recesses can be covered with such an elastic material. In particular, the entire inner part of the chin guard in the region of the cup-shaped recesses can be coated with such an elastic material.
- a skin-friendly layer is preferably applied to the elastic material, which layer consists of an even softer material and which directly faces the chin of the helmet wearer.
- Figure 1 seen the basic principle of a helmet with a cup-shaped recess for receiving a display device from above;
- Figure 2 shows the helmet of Figure 1 in an oblique view from the front left
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the construction of the helmet in the area of the chin guard
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of a chin guard seen from the inside;
- Figure 6 is a representation similar to Figure 5, but seen from above;
- Figure 7 is an illustration in which a soft layer is additionally applied to the elastic foam.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a racing helmet with a helmet shell 1, which has a recess 2, which forms a field of view for the helmet wearer. Below the recess 2, a chin guard 3 is provided, which is an integral part of the helmet shell here. Alternatively, the chin guard can be pivoted relative to the helmet shell 1. As with conventional motorcycle or racing driver's helmets, the inside of the helmet shell is lined with a shock-absorbing material 4.
- the helmet of FIGS. 1 and 2 has a cup-shaped recess 5 which is open at the top on the inside of the chin guard.
- the pot-shaped recess 5 can be made of a dimensionally stable material, such as a fiber material.
- a display device 6 is inserted here, which has a display on the side facing the helmet wearer.
- the pot-shaped recess 5 and the display device 6 projecting upwards out of the cup-shaped recess 5 are arranged off-center on the chin guard 3. More precisely, the pot-shaped recess 5 is arranged in the area of the right eye of the helmet wearer on the inside of the chin guard 3. The helmet wearer can thus easily read the display of the display device with his right eye.
- FIG. 3 shows the basic structure of the chin guard 3 of the helmet shown in Figure 1.
- the helmet shell 1 (see FIG. 1) merges in one piece into a chin guard section 7, which consists of a hard plastic material, as is known from conventional helmets.
- a chin guard section 7 which consists of a hard plastic material, as is known from conventional helmets.
- two pot-shaped recesses 5, 8 are provided, which are open at the top.
- the cup-shaped recesses can be made, for example, from a fiber-reinforced plastic material. Aramite fiber material, for example, is suitable as the material under the brand name "Kevlar".
- the cup-shaped recesses are thus relatively dimensionally stable.
- Layer 9-11 consists of an elastic, shock-absorbing material, for example of an elastic, shock-absorbing plastic foam, which has a shock-absorbing effect on the chin of the helmet wearer.
- a thin layer 12 is applied to the elastic material 9-11.
- the thin layer 12 can, for example, also be made of a plastic foam and is softer than the layers 9-11.
- This layer 12 can also be referred to as a "comfort layer” should be soft and skin-friendly because the helmet wearer ger will often touch her with his chin.
- Figure 4 shows the chin guard section 7 seen from the inside.
- the two pot-shaped recesses 5, 8 formed from a fiber-reinforced plastic material can be seen, which can be seen in FIG. 4 from obliquely from below, that is to say from their closed side.
- FIG. 5 shows the chin guard section 7 of the helmet seen from the inside after a further manufacturing step. After this manufacturing step, the space between the two cup-shaped recesses 5, 8 and the side areas in addition to the cup-shaped recesses are each filled or covered with an elastic foam material 9-11.
- FIG. 6 shows the chin section 7 shown in FIG. 5 seen from the outside and from an angle from above. It can be clearly seen here that the pot- shaped recesses 5, 8 are open at the top.
- the elastic shock-absorbing material 9-11 fills both the area between the two cup-shaped recesses 5, 8 and the side areas lying next to it.
- Figure 7 shows yet another manufacturing step.
- An additional layer 13 is applied to the elastic material 9-11 on the inside, that is to say on the side facing the chin of the helmet wearer.
- the layer 13 here consists of a soft foam which is softer than the elastic material 9-11 and forms a "comfort layer”.
