Definitions

  • the invention relates to a helmet, in particular a bicycle helmet, as used for example in the cyclist to protect his head.
  • the helmet has a body made of shock-absorbing material, in particular of plastic material. Often, such a body - disguised on the outside visually appealing - for example, by a decorative shell.
  • the decorative shell reduces friction with the lintel surface so that the human lintel slides along the lintel surface with a uniform deceleration.
  • the invention relates to a protective cover which can be releasably attached to such a helmet.
  • Helmets of the type mentioned are known in various designs. For example, from the DE 202 09 611 U1 a helmet is known in which the front of the decorative shell an additional small plate is attached. This shield is approximately horizontal to the front, comparable to the shield of a baseball cap.
  • From the DE 20 2008 001 838 U1 is a helmet with a front light device known.
  • the headlight device is attached to a front panel of the helmet, which is designed in the manner of a visor.
  • Such sighting devices are regularly made of an opaque material, so that they can protect the wearer of a corresponding helmet, for example, from direct sunlight, but at the same time limit and obscure the field of vision. This darkening can, especially in poor visibility conditions, for example at night, to an increased risk of Wear the wearer of the helmet, since the little remaining light is held by the sighting device.
  • Some sighting devices are therefore provided with more or less large openings through which the wearer of a helmet can look, for example, with his head down. These breakthroughs, however, then cause the eyes to come back into direct contact with the drafts, and protection against direct sunlight is no longer possible.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved helmet with sighting.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved sighting device in the form of a protective shield, which can be releasably or permanently attached to a helmet.
  • the helmet according to the invention is given by the features of the main claim 1.
  • the sighting device according to the invention is given by the features of the independent claim 8. Meaningful developments of the invention are the subject of each subsequent claims.
  • the helmet according to the invention has a main body and a protective cover.
  • the protective cover can be fastened to the front of the base body and has at least one window element on which at least one transparent protective pane is arranged.
  • the protective screen according to the invention has a diaphragm body on which at least one window element is present. At least one transparent window is arranged on the at least one window element.
  • the protective cover according to the invention is thus suitable for retrofitting a helmet, for example a bicycle helmet.
  • the protective cover can thus act as a sighting device and protect the eyes of the wearer of such a helmet from direct sunlight and drafts.
  • the transparent protective windows arranged in or on the window elements an unrestricted view is still possible, so that the field of view is not limited.
  • the window elements can be designed frame-shaped. However, the window elements may also be formed only U-shaped. In principle, such devices on the protective cover are also referred to as window elements, which in principle are suitable for receiving a transparent protective pane. Consequently, a fastener for a transparent screen can also be a window element in this sense.
  • At least one of the protective disks can be detachably fastened to the at least one window element. Due to the interchangeability of the protective screens, they can be adapted to changing lighting conditions to allow optimal protection of the eyes. In addition, old, scratched shields can be easily replaced with new shields, without having to replace the protective cover or even the entire helmet.
  • the detachable attachment of the protective disks to the window element can be realized, for example, by snapping or clipping the protective disks to the window element.
  • the protective windows can also be inserted into the window element.
  • the window element could have a U-shaped frame.
  • the attachment of the protective glass to the window element should preferably be effected from the underside of the protective cover.
  • At least two window elements may be present in the protective screen. These two window elements can preferably be arranged so that they come to lie approximately in the area of the eyes of a helmet wearer. In particular, with a forward tilted head position, this embodiment provides the opportunity to see through the two window elements forward, which allows a predictive driving style.
  • At least one of the protective screens may be colored.
  • these can be optimally adapted to changing light conditions due to different colors and tints.
  • the protective windows can also prevent dangerous UV radiation and the protective screen can be designed to suit every situation.
  • the protective cover can be releasably secured to the main body of the helmet.
  • This detachable mounting of the protective cover allows easy replacement of the protective cover should it be damaged.
  • retrofitting of existing helmets can thus be made possible by a protective screen according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows the head 10 of a cyclist who is protected with a helmet 12.
  • the helmet 12 is a bicycle helmet.
  • the helmet 12 has a base body 14 which is largely covered by a decorative shell 16.
  • the decorative shell 16 is made of a flexible thin plastic material, while the main body 14 is made of a shock-absorbing plastic material.
  • a fastening belt 18, which runs between the base body 14 and the decorative shell 16 along and can be locked under the chin of the wearer, the helmet 12 can be firmly and yet releasably attached to the head 10.
  • the protective cover 20 has a diaphragm body 22, which is approximately sickle-shaped in the present example case.
  • the visor body 22 has at its end on both sides in each case a clip-closure 24, by means of which the protective cover 20 can be releasably secured to the helmet 12.
  • the protective disks 28 can be fastened detachably to the window element 26 via fastening means (not illustrated here).
  • the protective disks 28 could, for example, be snapped or clipped into the window element 26 from below.
  • the protective washers 28 could also be inserted into the window element 26.
  • the window element 26 would have to be equipped with corresponding slot holders.
  • the shields 28 may be present in various colors and tints. By releasably securing the protective windows 28 to the window elements 26, the protective cover 20 and thus the helmet 12 can be well adapted to different lighting conditions. The shields 28 also prevent the wearer's eyes from coming into direct contact with drafts.
  • the protective cover 20 is oriented approximately horizontally, so that the wearer of the helmet 12 could see past the protective cover 20 at the bottom ( Fig. 1 ). With lowered head 10 ( Fig. 3 ) the wearer can see through the shields 28 and thus through the shield 20.
  • the field of view is thus not limited by the protective cover 20.
  • the diaphragm body 22 has two stiffening ribs 30, which are each arranged laterally next to the window elements 26 in the outer region of the diaphragm body 22.
  • the visor body 22 has a U-shaped stiffening rib 32, which is arranged approximately centrally of the visor body 22 and thus between the two window elements 26.
  • the stiffening ribs 30, 32 could also be dispensed with.
  • the central, U-shaped stiffening rib 32 could be dispensed with.
  • a single window element could be provided that is so large that it extends beyond the central area and spans both eyes of the wearer.
  • the window element could be designed frame-shaped in this case.
  • the window elements 26 need not be frame-shaped.
  • the window elements 26 may also be formed only U-shaped, so that the protective plate 28 could be inserted into the U-shaped window element.
  • the protective pane could be inserted from the side remote from the helmet or from the side facing the helmet into the U-shaped window element.
  • the window element could also consist only of a fastening device to which then one or two protective disks can be attached accordingly.
  • the protective panel could consist of a narrow, crescent-shaped visor body, the fastening means - for example, snap fasteners - has, on which eivers then one or both, for example, crescent-shaped protective screens can be attached.
