La crémaillère 30 vient directement de moulage avec la calotte 16, et le bouton de déverrouillage 33 traverse une ouverture 34 du coulisseau 32 en étant guidé dans des glissières 35 ménagées dans des jambes 36, 37 de guidage du coulisseau 32.The rack 30 comprises two series of notches 30a, 30b parallel separated from each other by a longitudinal slot 31 inside which moves a slide 32 after actuation of an unlocking button 33. The rack 30 comes directly molding with the cap 16, and the unlocking button 33 through an opening 34 of the slide 32 being guided in slides 35 formed in legs 36, 37 for guiding the slide 32.

Un ressort de rappel 38 du type à compression, est agencé entre un pion de centrage 39 du plot de retenue 28 et un trou 41 ménagé dans une pièce d'accouplement 40 solidaire du bouton de déverrouillage 33.A return spring 38 of the compression type is arranged between a centering pin 39 of the retaining pin 28 and a hole 41 formed in a coupling piece 40 integral with the unlocking button 33.

La pièce d'accouplement 40 porte des ergots 42 coopérant avec la crémaillère 30 par l'action de rappel du ressort 38 en position relâchée du bouton de déverrouillage 33.The coupling piece 40 carries lugs 42 cooperating with the rack 30 by the return action of the spring 38 in the released position of the unlocking button 33.

Une rondelle 43 d'indexage (figure 2) est en plus intercalée entre la crémaillère 30 et l'extrémité correspondante EX1, EX2 du serre-nuque 20. La rondelle 43 comporte une paire de protubérances 44, 45 semi-circulaires diamétralement opposées le long de la périphérie interne, de manière à s'engager pour un réglage prédéterminé, entre deux crans successifs de chaque série de crans 30a, 30b de la crémaillère 30. Tout changement de réglage émet un clic sonore des protubérances 44, 45 suite au déplacement en translation du coulisseau 32.A washer 43 for indexing ( figure 2 ) is further interposed between the rack 30 and the corresponding end EX1, EX2 of the neckband 20. The washer 43 has a pair of diametrically opposed semi-circular protuberances 44, 45 along the inner periphery, so that engage for a predetermined adjustment, between two successive notches of each series of notches 30a, 30b of the rack 30. Any change in setting emits an audible click of the protuberances 44, 45 following the translational movement of the slide 32.

Sur la figure 11, une vue développée du serre-nuque 20 de la figure 10 montre la forme en Oméga avec la partie centrale 26 incurvée assurant un passage ou creux sous le contour 24 de la calotte 16, ce qui est particulièrement pratique pour des utilisateurs ayant des coiffures à queues-de-cheval.On the figure 11 , a developed view of the neckband 20 of the figure 10 shows the Omega shape with the curved central portion 26 ensuring a passage or recess under the contour 24 of the cap 16, which is particularly convenient for users having ponytail hairstyles.

Le réglage du serre-nuque 20 selon l'invention s'effectue de la manière suivante :The adjustment of the neckband 20 according to the invention is carried out as follows:

Avec ses deux mains, l'utilisateur appuie en même temps sur les deux boutons de déverrouillage 33 à l'encontre des ressorts de rappel 38. Les ergots 42 de la pièce d'accouplement 40 sortent de la crémaillère 30, ce qui libère les extrémités EX1, EX2 du serre-nuque 20. Il suffit ensuite de déplacer en translation les coulisseaux 32 dans les fentes 31 jusqu'au contact du serre-nuque 20 contre la nuque de l'utilisateur. Le relâchement des boutons de déverrouillage 33 ramène automatiquement les ergots 42 dans la crémaillère 30 correspondante, assurant le blocage du réglage dans la position choisie.With both hands, the user simultaneously presses the two unlocking buttons 33 against the return springs 38. The lugs 42 of the coupling piece 40 leave the rack 30, which releases the ends EX1, EX2 of the neckband 20. It is then sufficient to move the slides 32 in translation in the slots 31 until the neckband 20 is in contact with the neck of the user. The release of the unlocking buttons 33 automatically returns the lugs 42 in the corresponding rack 30, ensuring the setting lock in the chosen position.

Le réglage est rapide, et est opéré depuis l'extérieur sur les côtés latéraux de la calotte 16, sans être gêné à l'arrière par une éventuelle queue-de-cheval.The adjustment is rapid, and is operated from the outside on the lateral sides of the cap 16, without being hindered at the rear by a possible ponytail.

Cette dernière passe dans le creux du serre-nuque 20 en Oméga, sans perturber la tenue du casque sur la tête de l'utilisateur.The latter goes into the neck of the neckband 20 Omega without disrupting the holding of the helmet on the head of the user.

La liaison mécanique coulissante par crémaillère solidaire de la calotte, telle que décrite sur les figures 2-9, peut être remplacée par tout autre système de réglage.The sliding mechanical connection by rack integral with the cap, as described on the Figures 2-9 , can be replaced by any other adjustment system.
