Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Helm, insbesondere einen Fahrradhelm, wie er beispielsweise von einem Fahrradfahrer zum Schutz seines Kopfes benutzt wird. Ein solcher Sicherheitshelm besitzt regelmäßig einen aus entsprechend stoßabsorbierendem Kunststoffmaterial bestehenden stoßabsorbierenden Grundkörper. Der Grundkörper kann durch eine Dekorschale von außen abgedeckt sein. Da die Menschen nicht nur aus altersbedingten Gründen unterschiedlich große Köpfe haben, sind dementsprechend unterschiedlich große Helme erforderlich, um für jeden Menschen den für ihn größenmäßig passenden Sicherheitshelm bereitstellen zu können.The invention relates to a helmet, in particular a bicycle helmet, as used for example by a cyclist to protect his head. Such a safety helmet regularly has a correspondingly shock-absorbing plastic material existing shock-absorbing body. The main body can be covered by a decorative shell from the outside. Since people have heads of different sizes not only for reasons related to their age, helmets of different sizes are required to provide the appropriate safety helmet for each person.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Aus der DE 195 17 642 ist ein derartiger Sicherheitshelm bekannt. Auf der Innenseite seines Grundkörpers ist ein.mit einer aufgerauten, flauschigen Oberfläche versehenes Kopfband vorhanden, das mit Stegen in Aussparungen des Grundkörpers eingreift und dort klebend befestigt ist. Das im vorderen Bereich um die Helmöffnung herumlaufende Kopfband endet im rückwärtigen Bereich des Grundkörpers in zwei Bandenden, die einen gegenseitigen Sägezahnverschluss aufweisen. Dadurch kann das Kopfband stufenweise in der Länge verstellt werden. Die den Helm aufsetzende Person kann also den aufgesetzten Helm mittels des Kopfbandes abschnittsweise verstellen, um ihn rutschsicher auf ihrem Kopf zu befestigen.From DE 195 17 642 such a safety helmet is known. On the inside of his body ein.mit a roughened, fluffy surface provided headband is present, which engages with webs in recesses of the body and is adhesively attached there. The headband running around the helmet opening in the front region ends in the rear region of the main body in two band ends, which have a mutual sawtooth closure. This allows the headband to be adjusted stepwise in length. The person putting on the helmet can thus partially adjust the attached helmet by means of the headband in order to fasten it non-slip on its head.

Aus der US 3 025 525 ist ein Sicherheitshelm mit einem verstellbaren Kopfband bekannt. Das Kopfband hat eine zweite Verstellvorrichtung zum stufenweisen Anpassen des Kopfbandes in dem Helm.From US 3,025,525 a safety helmet with an adjustable headband is known. The headband has a second adjustment device for gradually adjusting the headband in the helmet.

Aus der DE 202 09 611 U ist es bekannt, ein in seiner Länge sehr fein verstellbares Kopfband vorzusehen. Dazu sind die beiden Enden des Kopfbandes mit einer Verstellvorrichtung verbunden, die einen in sehr vielen Drehstellungen verrastbaren Drehknopf besitzt. Dieser Drehknopf kann außerdem als Rücklicht ausgebildet sein. Dadurch ist eine den Helm tragende Person, wie beispielsweise ein entsprechender Fahrradfahrer, sehr leicht durch die Scheinwerfer eines hinter ihm fahrenden Fahrzeuges zu erkennen.From DE 202 09 611 U it is known to provide a very finely adjustable in length headband. For this purpose, the two ends of the headband are connected to an adjusting device which has a lockable in many rotational positions knob. This knob can also be designed as a tail light. As a result, a person wearing the helmet, such as a corresponding cyclist, can be recognized very easily by the headlights of a vehicle driving behind him.

Da alle diese Kopfbänder in einem Teilbereich, meistens im vorderen Bereich des Helmes, eng anliegend an der Innenseite der Helmöffnung platziert sind, und die Helmöffnungen bei unterschiedlich großen Helmen entsprechend unterschiedlich groß sind, muss für jede Helmöffnung ein extra langes Kopfband verwendet werden. Nur so kann sichergestellt werden, dass das Kopfband zwischen seinen Klebebefestigungsstellen ohne Wellenbildung, flach an der Innenseite der Helmöffnung anliegen kann.Since all of these headbands in a portion, usually in the front of the helmet, are placed close to the inside of the helmet opening, and the helmet openings are different in size for different sized helmets, an extra long headband must be used for each helmet opening. Only in this way can it be ensured that the headband can lie flat against the inside of the helmet opening between its adhesive attachment points without undulation.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem vorbekannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen möglichst kostengünstig herzustellenden Helm anzugeben, ohne Nachteile in technischer oder in sicherheitstechnischer Hinsicht in Kauf nehmen zu müssen.Based on this known prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a helmet to produce as inexpensive as possible without having to accept disadvantages in technical or safety terms.

Diese Erfindung ist durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs gegeben. Sinnvolle Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von sich daran anschließenden weiteren Ansprüchen.This invention is given by the features of the main claim. Meaningful developments of the invention are the subject of subsequent claims.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass eine zusätzliche Längen-Verstellvorrichtung für das Kopfband zum längenmäßigen Anpassen des Kopfbandes an die Größe der jeweiligen Helmöffnung und damit an die jeweilige Helmgröße vorgesehen ist, die stufenlos eingestellt werden kann.The invention is characterized in that an additional length adjustment device for the headband is provided for adjusting the length of the headband to the size of the respective helmet opening and thus to the respective helmet size, which can be adjusted continuously.

Dadurch ist es möglich, gleiche Kopfbänder für unterschiedlich große Helme und damit für unterschiedlich große Helmöffnungen zu verwenden. Die Lagerhaltung für Kopfbänder wird dadurch extrem verringert.This makes it possible to use the same headbands for different sized helmets and thus for different sized helmet openings. The storage of headbands is thereby extremely reduced.

Eine solche zusätzliche Längen-Verstellvorrichtung kann derart ausgebildet sein, dass das Kopfband in zunächst zwei Bandteile aufgeteilt wird und zwei aneinander stoßende Bereiche der beiden Bandteile gegenseitig längs des Öffnungsrandes stufenlos verstellbar sind. Eine solche Ausbildung, die in einem Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt ist, kann einen Längsschlitz in dem Endbereich des einen Bandteils und einen seitlich wegstehenden T-förmigen Vorsprung in dem Endbereich des anderen Bandteils aufweisen. Der T-förmige Vorsprung ist so ausgebildet, dass er durch den Längsschlitz hindurchgreift und längs dieses Schlitzes stufenlos verschiebbar ist, ohne seinen Halt in dem Schlitz zu verlieren.Such an additional length-adjusting device may be formed such that the headband is divided into two first band parts and two abutting portions of the two band parts are mutually infinitely adjustable along the opening edge. Such an embodiment, which is shown in one embodiment, may have a longitudinal slot in the end region of the one band part and a laterally projecting T-shaped projection in the end region of the other band part. The T-shaped projection is formed so that it passes through the longitudinal slot and is continuously displaceable along this slot, without losing its grip in the slot.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen und Vorteile der Erfindung, insbesondere auch bezüglich der Anordnung und Ausbildung einer solchen zusätzlichen Längen-Verstellvorrichtung, sind den in den Ansprüchen weiterhin aufgeführten Merkmalen sowie dem nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispiel zu entnehmen.Further refinements and advantages of the invention, in particular also with regard to the arrangement and design of such an additional length adjustment device, can be found in the features further listed in the claims and in the following exemplary embodiment.

WEGE ZUM AUSFÜHREN DER ERFINDUNGWAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Von einem Helm 10 ist sein Grundkörper 12 in Fig. 1 dargestellt.From a helmet 10, its base body 12 is shown in Fig. 1.

Der Grundkörper 12 und damit der Helm 10 besitzt eine Helmöffnung 14, mittels der er auf dem Kopf einer ihn tragenden Person aufgesetzt werden kann. In dem Grundkörper 12 sind Lüftungsöffnungen 16 vorhanden, um einen Luftaustausch durch den Helm hindurch zu ermöglichen.The base body 12 and thus the helmet 10 has a helmet opening 14, by means of which it can be placed on the head of a person wearing it. In the main body 12 ventilation openings 16 are provided to allow an exchange of air through the helmet.

Auf der Innenseite des die Helmöffnung 14 einrahmenden Randes 18 ist ein Kopfband 20 vorhanden. Dieses Kopfband besitzt sowohl im Bereich der rechten als auch der linken Helmseite 22, 24 jeweils einen Befestigungssteg 26, von dem in Fig. 1 nur der auf der rechten Helmseite 22 dargestellt ist. Dieser Befestigungssteg 26 taucht mit seinem Stegende 28 in den Grundkörper 12 hinein und ist dort an ihm angeklebt befestigt.On the inside of the helmet opening 14 framing edge 18 is a headband 20 is present. This headband has both in the region of the right and the left side of the helmet 22, 24 each have a fastening web 26, of which in Fig. 1 only shown on the right helmet side 22 is. This fastening web 26 dives with its web end 28 into the main body 12 and is attached there glued to it.

Zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden Befestigungsstegen 26 verläuft das aus zwei Bandteilen 20.1 und 20.2 bestehende Kopfband 20 mit seinem Bandteil 20.2 eng anliegend auf der Innenseite 30 des Randes 18 um die Frontseite 32 des Helms 10 herum. Im Bereich der Frontseite 32 ist das Bandteil 20.2 des Kopfbandes 20 mittels eines Befestigungsstiftes 34 am Grundkörper 12 befestigt. Der Rand 18 und damit auch der Befestigungsstift 34 werden durch eine in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte U-förmige Kappe später verkleidet.Between the mutually opposite fastening webs 26 consisting of two band parts 20.1 and 20.2 existing headband 20 with its band part 20.2 fits tightly on the inside 30 of the rim 18 around the front side 32 of the helmet 10 around. In the area of the front side 32, the band part 20.2 of the headband 20 is fastened to the base body 12 by means of a fastening pin 34. The edge 18 and thus also the fixing pin 34 are disguised by a U-shaped cap, not shown in the drawing later.

Im Bereich der Heckseite 36 des Helms 10 ist an dem anderen Bandteil 20.1 des Kopfbandes 20 eine erste Längen-Verstellvorrichtung 40 vorhanden, die einen Verstellknopf 42 enthält. Durch Verdrehen des Verstellknopfes 42 können die an der Verstellvorrichtung 40 befestigten beiden Bandenden 44, 46 des Bandteils 20.1 aufeinander zu oder voneinander wegbewegt werden und dadurch das Kopfband 20 zwischen den beiden Befestigungsstegen 26 längenmäßig verkleinert oder vergrößert werden. Mittels dieser ersten Längen-Verstellvorrichtung 40 wird der Bereich des Kopfbandes 20, der um die Frontseite 32 herumlaufend zwischen den beiden Befestigungsstegen 26 vorhanden ist, nämlich das Bandteil 20.2, längenmäßig nicht verändert.In the area of the rear side 36 of the helmet 10, a first length adjusting device 40 is provided on the other band part 20.1 of the headband 20, which contains an adjustment knob 42. By turning the adjusting knob 42, the two band ends 44, 46 of the band member 20.1 attached to the adjusting device 40 can be moved towards or away from one another and thereby the head band 20 can be lengthened or enlarged in length between the two attachment ribs 26. By means of this first length adjustment device 40, the region of the headband 20 which is present around the front side 32 running around between the two fastening webs 26, namely the band part 20.2, does not change in length.

Das Bandteil 20.1 besitzt einen über die Befestigungsstege 26 auskragenden Bandabschnitt 48, der einen Längsschlitz 50 besitzt. Das um die Frontseite 32 herumlaufende Bandteil 20.2 endet in einem Endabschnitt 52, an dem seitlich, d.h. im vorliegenden Fall in Richtung zum Grundkörper 12, ein T-förmiger Quersteg 54 auskragend wegsteht. Der Quersteg 54 ist über einen Hals 56 an dem Endabschnitt 52 befestigt.The band member 20.1 has a over the fastening webs 26 projecting band portion 48 which has a longitudinal slot 50. The running around the front side 32 band part 20.2 ends in an end portion 52, on the side, ie in the present case in the direction of the base body 12, a T-shaped crosspiece 54 projects cantilevered. The crosspiece 54 is attached to the end portion 52 via a neck 56.

Im eingesetzten Zustand gemäß Fig. 1, 2 und 3 liegt der Quersteg 54 auf der - bezogen auf den Innenraum des Helms 10 - in Fig. 3 sichtbaren Außenseite des Bandabschnittes 48. Der Hals 56 liegt dabei innerhalb des Längsschlitzes 50. Auf der - bezogen auf den Innenraum des Helms 10 - Innenseite des Bandabschnittes 48 liegt das andere Teil des Endabschnittes 52 des Bandteils 20.2, das um die Frontseite 32 herumläuft.In the inserted state shown in FIG. 1, 2 and 3, the crosspiece 54 is on the - relative to the interior of the helmet 10 - visible in Fig. 3 outside of the band section 48. The neck 56 is located within the longitudinal slot 50. On the - related on the interior of the helmet 10 - inside the band portion 48 is the other part of the end portion 52 of the band portion 20.2, which runs around the front 32.

Der Quersteg 54 drückt sich entsprechend seiner Form in den Grundkörper 12 ein, so dass sich eine Vertiefung 58 bildet.The crossbar 54 presses in accordance with its shape in the base body 12, so that a recess 58 is formed.

Auf der Innenseite des Grundkörpers, und dort auf den zwischen Lüftungsöffnungen 16 vorhandenen Materialbereichen sind Polsterstreifen 60, von denen einer dargestellt ist, klettverschlussmäßig lösbar befestigt.On the inside of the base body, and there on the material areas present between the ventilation openings 16 are padding strips 60, one of which is shown, releasably attached velcro.

Ähnliche zwei Polsterstreifen 62, 64 sind auch auf dem Bandteil 20.2, und dort zwischen der Frontseite 32 und den beiden Endabschnitten 52 befestigt. Die Befestigung erfolgt mittels Klettverschlussteilen, von denen in der Zeichnung einer, ein Klettverschlussteil 66 dargestellt ist. Dieses Klettverschlussteil 66 ist auf der Innenseite des Endabschnittes 52 befestigt.Similar two padding strips 62, 64 are also on the band part 20.2, and there fastened between the front side 32 and the two end portions 52. The attachment takes place by means of Velcro fasteners, one of which, in the drawing, a Velcro 66 is shown. This hook and loop fastener 66 is mounted on the inside of the end portion 52.

In der Größe unterschiedliche Helme besitzen regelmäßig auch umfangsmäßig unterschiedlich große Helmöffnungen 14. Der um die Frontseite 32 herumlaufende Teil 20.2 des Kopfbandes 20 kann in seiner Länge zwischen den Befestigungsstegen 26 verändert werden, je nachdem, wo er in dem Längsschlitz 50 des anderen Bandteils 20.1 des Kopfbandes 20 endet.In the size different helmets regularly have circumferentially different size helmet openings 14. The running around the front 32 part 20.2 of the headband 20 can be changed in length between the mounting webs 26, depending on where he in the longitudinal slot 50 of the other hinge part 20.1 of Headband 20 ends.

Für unterschiedlich große Helme 10 können daher gleiche Kopfbänder verwendet werden. Diese Kopfbänder legen sich mit ihrem Teil 20.2 flach an der Innenseite 30 der vorhandenen Helmöffnung 14 an. Zusätzlich kann das andere Bandteil 20.1 des jeweiligen Kopfbandes 20, auf der Heckseite 36 mit der dort vorhandenen Verstellvorrichtung 40 in der Länge verändert werden, so dass damit der jeweils für eine Kopfgröße passende Helm von der Person an den Kopf "festgezurrt" werden kann. Beide Verstellvorrichtungen zur Längenänderung des Kopfbandes 20 wirken stufenlos.For different size helmets 10 therefore identical headbands can be used. These headbands come with you her part 20.2 flat on the inside 30 of the existing helmet opening 14 at. In addition, the other band part 20.1 of the respective headband 20, on the rear side 36 with the adjustment device 40 present therein can be changed in length, so that thus the appropriate for a head size helmet from the person to the head "lashed" can be.
