Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schutzhelm, insbesondere für Motorradfahrer, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a protective helmet, in particular for motorcyclists, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Übliche Motorradschutzhelme weisen eine im Wesentlichen geschlossene Helmkalotte auf, an deren Vorderseite eine Visieröffnung zur Aufnahme eines aufklappbaren Hauptvisiers ausgebildet ist. Die Helmkalotte enthält auf ihrer Innenseite ein Kopfpolster, das nahezu die gesamte Innenseite der Helmkalotte durch eine mehrere Zentimeter dicke Polsterschicht abdeckt.Conventional motorcycle helmets have a substantially closed helmet shell on the front side of a visor opening is formed for receiving a hinged main visor. The helmet calotte contains on its inside a head cushion, which covers almost the entire inside of the helmet shell by a several centimeters thick cushion layer.

Es ist auch bekannt, neben einem Hauptvisier zusätzlich eine Sonnenblende vorzusehen, die unabhängig vom Hauptvisier betätigt werden kann, wobei sie in Gebrauchsstellung einen Teil des Helmausschnitts abdeckt, und in Außer-Gebrauchsstellung in einen Spalt einschiebbar ist, der sich zwischen der Innenseite der Helmkalotte und dem Kopfpolster befindet. Der Schwenkpunkt der Sonnenblende kann mit dem Schwenkpunkt des Hauptvisiers übereinstimmen oder im Abstand dazu angeordnet sein. Die Betätigung erfolgt in der Regel über ein griffgünstig angeordnetes Schieberelement auf der Außenseite der Helmkalotte. Der Schieber wirkt über ein Hebelgestänge auf der Innenseite der Helmkalotte auf die Sonnenblende und kann daher die Sonnenblende zwischen zwei Stellungen verschwenken.It is also known, in addition to a main visor in addition to provide a sun visor, which can be operated independently of the main visor, wherein it covers a portion of the helmet section in the use position, and in out-use position in a gap can be inserted, extending between the inside of the helmet shell and the headrest is located. The pivot point of the sun visor may coincide with or be spaced apart from the pivot point of the main visor. The actuation is usually via a handle arranged conveniently slide element on the outside of the helmet shell. The slider acts via a lever linkage on the inside of the helmet cap on the sun visor and can therefore pivot the sun visor between two positions.

Eine entsprechende Ausbildung eine derartige Sonnenblende ist aus der EP 1 393 642 B1 bekannt. Dort befindet sich an der Außenseite der Helmkalotte ein Betätigungselement, das auf der Innenseite der Helmkalotte auf eine Stellmechanik einwirkt, die eine Bewegung der Sonnenblende ermöglicht. Sonnenblende und Hauptvisier sind an beabstandeten Gelenkpunkten gelagert.An appropriate training such a sun visor is from the EP 1 393 642 B1 known. There is located on the outside of the helmet cap an actuating element which acts on the inside of the helmet shell on an adjusting mechanism that allows movement of the sun visor. Sun visor and main visor are mounted at spaced hinge points.

Aus der DE 10 2007 031 636 A1 ist ein Helm bekannt, der ebenfalls ein Hauptvisier sowie eine Sonnenblende enthält. Ergänzend zur Sonnenblende ist auch noch eine Nebelblende vorgesehen, die parallel zur Sonnenblende verläuft. Hauptvisier, Sonnenblende und Nebelblende sind dabei um das gleiche Gelenk verschwenkbar. Dies führt zu erheblichem Platzbedarf im seitlichen Bereich des Helms, so dass dort entweder der Helm sehr breit ausgestattet werden muss oder die Polsterdicke im Gelenkbereich erheblich reduziert ist.From the DE 10 2007 031 636 A1 is a helmet known, which also contains a main visor and a sun visor. In addition to Sun visor is also provided a fog visor, which runs parallel to the sun visor. Main visor, sun visor and fog visor are pivotable about the same joint. This leads to considerable space in the lateral area of the helmet, so that there either the helmet must be equipped very wide or the cushion thickness is significantly reduced in the joint area.

Aus der WO 99/27999 ist ein Helm für professionelle Zwecke bekannt, bei dem neben einem Hauptvisier eine Sonnenblende vorgesehen ist, die um einen Gelenkpunkt verschwenkbar ist, der sich parallel zum Gelenkpunkt des Hauptvisiers befindet. Die Verschwenkung der Sonnenblende erfolgt mittels eines zentralen Schiebers auf einem oberseitigen undurchsichtigen Teil des Hauptvisiers. Damit ist jedoch das Hauptvisier relativ aufwendig gestaltet, so dass es für einen Schutzhelm für Motorradfahrer in der Regel zu kostenaufwendig ist.From the WO 99/27999 For example, a helmet for professional use is known, in which a sun visor is provided in addition to a main visor, which is pivotable about a pivot point which is parallel to the pivot point of the main visor. The pivoting of the sun visor is effected by means of a central slider on a top-side opaque part of the main visor. However, this makes the main sight relatively expensive, so that it is usually too expensive for a safety helmet for motorcyclists.

Die DE 10 2004 048 842 B3 zeigt schließlich einen Integralhelm mit einer Helmkalotte, die eine verschiebbare Sonnenblende umfasst, die die Visieröffnung teilweise abdecken kann. Anders als in den oben genannten Ausführungsformen wird die Sonnenblende gemäß dieser Druckschrift durch zwei seitliche Führungen in Form eines Bogenabschnitts geführt, wobei die Bewegung der Seitenflügel in den Führungen durch ein Betätigungselement gesteuert wird, das in Form eines Schiebers an der Außenseite der Helmkalotte befestigt ist. Die Bewegungsübertragung zwischen Schieber und Sonnenblende erfolgt mittels eines Bowdenzuges.The DE 10 2004 048 842 B3 Finally, shows an integral helmet with a helmet cap, which includes a sliding sun visor, which can partially cover the visor opening. Unlike in the above embodiments, the sun visor is guided according to this document by two lateral guides in the form of a curved portion, wherein the movement of the side wings is controlled in the guides by an actuating element which is fixed in the form of a slider on the outside of the helmet shell. The motion transmission between slide and sun visor is carried out by means of a Bowden cable.

Aufgrund dieser Ausführungsform ist der Aufwand zur Ausbildung der Sonnenblendenbetätigung erheblich. Des Weiteren ist es erforderlich, dass die Betätigung der beiden Enden der Sonnenblende streng parallel verläuft, da es anderenfalls zu einem Verkanten der Enden der Sonnenblende in den Führungen kommen kann.Due to this embodiment, the effort to form the sun visor actuation is significant. Furthermore, it is necessary that the operation of the two ends of the sun visor is strictly parallel, otherwise it may lead to tilting of the ends of the sun visor in the guides.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention Technische AufgabeTechnical task

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schutzhelm, insbesondere für Motorradfahrer, anzugeben, der neben einem Hauptvisier eine verschiebbare Sonnenblende verwendet, die einfach betätigbar ist, sicher zu handhaben ist und die nur einen geringen konstruktiven Aufwand erfordert.The invention has for its object to provide a protective helmet, especially for motorcyclists, in addition to a Main visor uses a sliding sun visor, which is easy to operate, is safe to handle and requires only a small design effort.

Technische LösungTechnical solution

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the invention defined in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in subclaims.

Vorteilhafte Wirkungen der ErfindungAdvantageous Effects of the Invention

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Schutzhelm, insbesondere für Motorradfahrer, der eine stoßfeste Helmkalotte und ein inneres Kopfpolster aufweist, wobei die Helmkalotte einen Ausschnitt für eine Hauptvisieröffnung mit einem seitlich drehbar gelagertem Hauptvisier zur Abdeckung der Hauptvisieröffnung enthält, wobei oberseitig der Visieröffnung ein Spalt zum Einschieben einer Sonnenblende ausgebildet ist, und wobei die Sonnenblende in dem Spalt zwischen einer die Visieröffnung freilassenden Ruhestellung und einer die Visieröffnung teilweise abdeckende Gebrauchsstellung verschiebbar ist.The invention is based on a protective helmet, in particular for motorcyclists, which has a shock-resistant helmet cap and an inner head pad, wherein the helmet cap includes a cutout for a main sighting with a laterally rotatably mounted main visor to cover the main sighting, with the top of the visor opening a gap for insertion a sun visor is formed, and wherein the sun visor is displaceable in the gap between a rest position leaving the visor opening and a use position partially covering the visor opening.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Sonnenblende in ihrem zentralen Bereich mittels eines über einen Führungsspalt der Helmkalotte geführten Betätigungsknopfes verschiebbar. Die Seitenflügel der Sonnenblende sind mittels zweier in die Helmkalotte geführte Seitenführungen gegen Bewegung in Normalrichtung der Sonnenblende stabilisiert.According to the invention, the sun visor is displaceable in its central region by means of a control knob guided over a guide gap of the helmet cap. The side wings of the sun visor are stabilized against movement in the normal direction of the sun visor by means of two side guides guided in the helmet cap.

Durch die zentrale Anordnung des Betätigungsschiebers kann dieser unmittelbar auf den mittleren Bereich der Sonnenblende einwirken, so dass keinerlei weitere Kraftübertragungsmittel, wie Hebel, Bowdenzüge oder ähnliches, erforderlich sind, um die Sonnenblende zu betätigen. Der Betätigungsschieber bzw. der Betätigungsknopf greift durch einen Spalt der Helmkalotte hindurch und wird gleichzeitig durch den Spalt geführt.Due to the central arrangement of the actuating slide this can act directly on the central region of the sun visor, so that no further force transmission means, such as levers, Bowden cables or the like, are required to operate the sun visor. The actuating slide or the actuating knob engages through a gap in the helmet shell and is simultaneously guided through the gap.

Da es sich bei einer Sonnenblende in der Regel um eine randlos gefertigte dünne Kunststoffscheibe handelt, würde sie bei rein zentraler Befestigung an dem Betätigungsschieber häufig nicht ausreichend stabil gegen Bewegungen in Normalrichtung gesichert sein. Daher sieht die Erfindung vor, die Seitenflügel der Sonnenblende zu stabilisieren, indem sie mittels Seitenführungen gegen Bewegung gesichert sind.Since it is usually a rimless manufactured thin plastic disc in a sun visor, it would often not be sufficiently stable secured against movements in the normal direction with purely central attachment to the operating slide. Therefore, the invention provides to stabilize the side wings of the sun visor, by means of Side guides are secured against movement.

Vorzugsweise ist der Betätigungsschieber als länglicher Schieber ausgebildet, der in dem Führungsspalt der Helmkalotte in Längsrichtung verschiebbar ist. Der Betätigungsschieber kann auch Führungsansätze mit wenigstens zwei im Abstand in dem Führungsspalt verlaufenden Führungselementen aufweisen. Der Führungsspalt kann dabei aus U-förmigen Schienen gebildet sein, in denen der als flacher Stab ausgebildete Betätigungsschieber gleitet. Der Vorteil der Verwendung eines stabförmigen Schiebers liegt auch darin, dass damit gleichzeitig der Spaltdurchlass der Helmkalotte vor dem Betätigungsknopf gegen Zugluft abgedichtet werden kann.Preferably, the actuating slide is designed as an elongated slide, which is displaceable in the guide gap of the helmet shell in the longitudinal direction. The actuating slide can also have guide projections with at least two guide elements running at a distance in the guide gap. The guide gap can be formed from U-shaped rails, in which slides the trained as a flat rod actuating slide. The advantage of using a rod-shaped slide is also the fact that at the same time the gap passage of the helmet shell can be sealed against drafts in front of the operating knob.

Der Betätigungsschieber ist auf der Außenseite der Helmkalotte vorzugsweise mit einem Betätigungsknopf verbunden, der an dem Betätigungsschieber z. B. über stiftförmige Führungselemente befestigt ist.The actuating slide is preferably connected to the outside of the helmet shell with an actuating button, which is connected to the actuating slide z. B. is attached via pin-shaped guide elements.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung kann bei der Erfindung auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Betätigungsschieber in einer oder mehreren Raststellungen in Bezug auf die Helmkalotte festlegbar ist. Damit kann die Stellung der Sonnenblende in mehrere Stellungen eingestellt werden.In an advantageous embodiment, it can also be provided in the invention that the actuating slide can be fixed in one or more detent positions with respect to the helmet shell. Thus, the position of the sun visor can be set in several positions.

Die Seitenflügel der Sonnenblende werden vorzugsweise über flache Seitenführungen stabilisiert, welche in einer in Bezug auf die Helmkalotte festen Führungsleiste beim Verschwenken der Sonnenblende geführt sind. Da die Seitenführungen nicht in Längsrichtung belastet sind, besteht ihre einzige Aufgabe darin, die Sonnenblende in Querrichtung zu stabilisieren. Entsprechend kann der Führungsaufbau der Seitenführungen sehr einfach gehalten werden.The side wings of the sun visor are preferably stabilized by means of flat side guides, which are guided in a solid with respect to the Helmkalotte guide bar during pivoting of the sun visor. Since the side guides are not loaded in the longitudinal direction, their only purpose is to stabilize the sun visor in the transverse direction. Accordingly, the guide structure of the side guides can be kept very simple.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Seitenführungen im mittleren oder Endbereich zwischen dem Betätigungsschieber und dem jeweiligen Flügelende der Sonnenblende angeordnet. Damit ergibt sich eine bestmögliche Sicherheit gegen Bewegung und Flattern der Sonnenblende.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the side guides are arranged in the middle or end region between the actuating slide and the respective wing end of the sun visor. This results in the best possible security against movement and flutter of the sun visor.

Sowohl der Betätigungsschieber als auch oder alternativ die Seitenführungen können anstelle über eine Führung an der Innenseite der Helmkalotte auch unmittelbar im Innenpolster geführt werden. Zur Erhöhung der Lebensdauer einer derartigen Führung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Leisten zur Aufnahme der länglichen Führungen als Hülsen ausgebildet sind, die in dem Polster verankert sind. In diesem Fall ist es auch möglich, den Spalt zum Einschieben der Sonnenblende nicht zwischen Helmkalotte und Innenpolster auszubilden, sondern unmittelbar im Innenpolster selbst, welches den Vorteil hat, dass damit ein Teil des Innenpolsters im Bereich der einschiebbaren Sonnenblende unmittelbar an der Helmkalotte befestigt bleiben kann, so dass sich damit eine höhere Schlagfestigkeit der Helmkalotte ergibt. Die Spaltrichtung zum Einschieben der Sonnenblende kann dabei auch besser variiert sein, und muss in diesem Fall nicht unbedingt dem Verlauf der Helmkalotte folgen.Both the actuating slide and, alternatively, the side guides can be guided directly in the inner pad instead of a guide on the inside of the helmet shell. to Increasing the life of such a guide can be provided that the strips for receiving the elongated guides are formed as sleeves which are anchored in the pad. In this case, it is also possible not to form the gap for inserting the sun visor between the helmet shell and inner padding, but directly in the inner pad itself, which has the advantage that a part of the inner padding in the retractable sun visor can remain attached directly to the helmet shell , so that results in a higher impact resistance of the helmet shell. The gap direction for inserting the sun visor can also be better varied, and must not necessarily follow the course of the helmet shell in this case.

Durch die Erfindung ergibt sich ein Schutzhelm, insbesondere für Motorradfahrer, der eine einfach betätigbare Sonnenblende enthält, die konstruktiv einfach aufgebaut ist, leicht bedienbar ist und damit kostengünstig herstellbar ist.The invention results in a protective helmet, especially for motorcyclists, which contains a simple operable sun visor, which is structurally simple, easy to use and thus can be produced inexpensively.

Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der ErfindungDescription of an embodiment of the invention

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Helmkalotte 10 enthält eine Sonnenblende 4, die mittels eines Betätigungsschiebers 3 über den Betätigungsknopf 2 verschiebbar ist. Die Sonnenblende weist dazu an ihrem oberen Rand eine Verstärkung 5 auf. Im Zentralbereich der Sonnenblende befindet sich an der Verstärkung 5 der Verbinder 7, an dem der Bestätigungsschieber 3 über ein Führungsgelenk 9 angelenkt ist. Der Betätigungsschieber 3 lässt sich gemäß Fig. 3 in einem Führungsspalt 8 über den Betätigungsknopf 2 verschieben. Der Betätigungsschieber ist als flacher Stab ausgebildet, der in dem Führungsspalt z. B. über eine seitliche Schwalbenschwanzführung oder U-förmige Schienen geführt ist.In the Fig. 1 illustrated helmet cap 10 includes a sun visor 4, which is displaceable by means of an actuating slide 3 via the actuating knob 2. The sun visor has a reinforcement 5 at its upper edge. In the central region of the sun visor is located at the reinforcement 5 of the connector 7, to which the confirmation slide 3 is articulated via a guide joint 9. The actuating slide 3 leaves according to Fig. 3 in a guide slot 8 on the operating knob 2 move. The actuating slide is designed as a flat rod, which in the guide gap z. B. is guided over a lateral dovetail guide or U-shaped rails.

Durch Rechts-Links-Schieben des Betätigungsknopfes 2 kann der stabförmige Betätigungsschieber 3 und damit die Sonnenblende 4 nach rechts/links bzw. herauf und herunter geschoben werden. Der Knopf 2 kann als reiner Schieberknopf ausgebildet sein, er kann jedoch auch als Rastknopf ausgebildet sein, der beispielsweise nur betätigt werden kann, wenn er ein Stück eingedrückt wird, oder er kann auch als Doppelknopf ausgebildet sein, der nur betätigbar ist, wenn beide Teile des Knopfes zusammengedrückt werden. Die beiden Teile sind dabei in Ruhestellung durch eine Feder auseinander gedrückt.By right-left sliding of the actuating knob 2, the rod-shaped actuating slide 3 and thus the sun visor 4 are pushed to the right / left or up and down. The button 2 may be formed as a pure slider button, but it may also be designed as a detent button, which can for example only be operated when it is pressed a piece, or it may also be designed as a double button, which is only operable when both parts of the button. The two parts are pressed apart in the rest position by a spring.

Kurz von den beiden seitlichen Enden der Sonnenblende befinden sich an der Verstärkung 5 von der Sonnenblende abstehende Seitenführungen, die blockförmig ausgebildet sind und in Führungsleisten 1 gleiten, die an der Innenseite der Helmkalotte 10 angeordnet sind. Die Seitenführungen können mit den Führungsleisten ebenfalls schwalbenschwanzförmig in Verbindung stehen.Short of the two lateral ends of the sun visor are located on the reinforcement 5 of the sun visor protruding side guides, which are block-shaped and slide in guide rails 1, which are arranged on the inside of the helmet shell 10. The side guides may also be in dovetail relationship with the guide rails.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Sonnenblende in eingeschobener Ansicht. Es ist erkennbar, dass die Seitenführungen 6 in den Führungsleiten 1 nach oben geschoben ist. Anstelle einer starren blockförmigen Ausbildung der Seitenführungen 6 kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Sonnenblende rückseitige längliche Stäbe enthält, die in Laschen auf der Innenseite der Helmkalotte geführt sind. Die Stäbe können auch unmittelbar in dem Innenpolster des Helms geführt sein. Da die Stäbe nicht unter Kraft stehen, ist ihre Funktion darauf beschränkt, eine Querbewegung der Seitenflügel der Sonnenblende zu verhindern. Fig. 2 shows the sun visor in retracted view. It can be seen that the side guides 6 is pushed in the guide rail 1 upwards. Instead of a rigid block-shaped design of the side guides 6 can also be provided that the sun visor contains back elongated rods which are guided in tabs on the inside of the helmet shell. The rods can also be guided directly in the inner pad of the helmet. Since the rods are not under force, their function is limited to prevent lateral movement of the side wings of the sun visor.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Innenansicht eines Schutzhelms mit ausgebildeter Sonnenblende. Es sind deutlich die blockförmigen Seitenführungen 6 erkennbar, die in den Führungsleisten 1 gelagert und geführt sind. Fig. 4 shows the inside view of a protective helmet with a trained sun visor. It can be clearly seen the block-shaped side guides 6, which are mounted and guided in the guide rails 1.

Die Seitenführungen 6 benötigen einen Abstand von den Führungsleisten um ein Verschieben der Sonnenblende zu ermöglichen, wenn die Seitenführungen 6 auf der Innenseite der Sonnenblende an dem Verstärkungsrand 5 befestigt sind. Die eigentliche Führung der Seitenführungen in den Führungsleisten erfolgt daher über nicht dargestellte Schiebeelemente, die ebenso wie die Sonnenblende selbst an der Seitenführung über Stifte 12 und 13 befestigt sind.The side guides 6 need a distance from the guide rails to allow a displacement of the sun visor, if the Side guides 6 are fixed on the inside of the sun visor to the reinforcing edge 5. The actual leadership of the side guides in the guide rails is therefore not shown sliding elements, which are like the sun visor itself attached to the side guide pins 12 and 13.

In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann auch vorgesehen sein, Seitenführung und Verstärkungsrand einstückig auszubilden, so dass auf die Stifte 13 und 14 verzichtet werden kann.In a further development of the invention can also be provided integrally form side guide and reinforcing edge, so that it is possible to dispense with the pins 13 and 14.

Um den Betätigungsschieber 3 gegenüber dem Verbinder 7 nicht unter Spannung zu setzen, ist vorgesehen, dass der Betätigungsschieber 3 gegenüber dem Verbinder 7 gelenkig gelagert ist, z. B. über ein stabförmiges Führungsgelenk 9.In order not to put the operating slide 3 with respect to the connector 7 under tension, it is provided that the actuating slide 3 is articulated relative to the connector 7, z. B. via a rod-shaped guide joint. 9

Der Spalt, der gemäß Fig. 3 zur Durchführung der Halteknöpfe 11 und 12 zur Verbindung des Betätigungsknopfes mit dem Betätigungsschiebers dient, kann zusätzlich verwendet werden, um eine steuerbare Belüftung des Helms vorzusehen. Zu diesem Zweck kann der Betätigungsknopf ganz am Ende des Betätigungsschiebers angesetzt sein, so dass bei heruntergeklappter Sonnenblende der rückwärtige Bereich des Führungsspalts offen ist, so dass Außenluft in den Helm eindringen kann. Um den Spalt steuerbar zu verschließen, kann ferner vorgesehen sein, dass auf der Rückseite des Betätigungsknopfes ein weiterer Schieber ausgebildet ist, der bei Heranschieben an den Betätigungsknopf den rückseitigen Spalt schließt und bei Entfernen vom Betätigungsknopf den Spalt öffnet. Damit ist es möglich, auf einfache Weise zusätzlich einen Lüftungsschieber auf der Oberseite des Helms auszubilden.The gap, according to Fig. 3 can be used in addition to provide a controllable ventilation of the helmet to perform the holding buttons 11 and 12 for connecting the actuating knob with the actuating slide. For this purpose, the operating knob can be attached at the very end of the actuating slide, so that when folded down sun visor, the rear portion of the guide gap is open, so that outside air can penetrate into the helmet. In order to controllably close the gap, it may further be provided that a further slide is formed on the rear side of the actuating knob, which closes the rear gap when the actuating knob is pushed up and opens the gap when the actuating knob is removed. This makes it possible to easily form in addition a vent slide on top of the helmet.
