Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kopfbedeckung mit einem zumindest abschnittsweise formstabilen Hutaufbau sowie mit einer zumindest über einen Teil eines Umfangs des Hutaufbaus abragenden Krempe, und mit einer eine Kopfpassform umgebenden Stoßdämpfungsschale.The invention relates to a headgear with an at least partially dimensionally stable hat structure and with a protruding at least over a part of a circumference of the hat structure brim, and with a surrounding a head fitting shock absorption shell.
Eine derartige Kopfbedeckung ist aus der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Kopfbedeckung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine wirksame Kopfschutzfunktion mit einem ansprechenden Aussehen kombiniert.The object of the invention is to provide a headgear of the type mentioned, which combines an effective head protection function with a pleasing appearance.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass eine Unterseite der Krempe bis zur Kopfpassform nach innen gezogen ist und einen unteren Rand der Stoßdämpfungsschale überdeckt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung verdeckt die Krempe einen unteren Rand der die Kopfpassform umgebenden Stoßdämpfungsschale. Die Kopfschutzfunktion wird durch die Stoßdämpfungsschale in vollem Umfang erhalten. Dadurch, dass die Krempe bis zur Kopfpassform nach innen gezogen ist, vermittelt die Kopfbedeckung den optischen Eindruck eines passenden Hutes.This object is achieved in that a bottom of the brim is pulled inwards to the Kopfpassform inside and covers a lower edge of the shock absorbing shell. By the solution according to the invention the brim covers a lower edge of the shock absorbing shell surrounding the head fitting. The head protection function is fully maintained by the shock absorbing shell. The fact that the brim is pulled inwards to the head fit, the headgear gives the visual impression of a matching hat.
Erfindungsgemäß kann entweder die Krempe insgesamt bis zur Kopfpassform nach innen gezogen sein, oder lediglich ein die Unterseite bildender Bezug oder eine die Unterseite der Krempe bildende Beschichtung. Das Erstrecken der Unterseite der Krempe bis zur Kopfpassform bedeutet, dass für einen Betrachter der auf dem Kopf eines Trägers sitzenden Kopfbedeckung bei einem Blick schräg von unten der Eindruck entsteht, dass die Unterseite der Krempe oder die gesamte Krempe von außen her nach innen bis zur Kopfkontur des Trägers verläuft. Die erfindungsgemäße Kopfbedeckung weist vorzugsweise einen Hutaufbau mit einer vollständig umlaufenden Krempe auf. Die Erfindung umfasst aber auch eine Kopfbedeckung mit einem Hutaufbau, bei dem die Krempe lediglich über einen Teil des Umfangs des Hutaufbaus nach außen abragt (insbesondere Militär- oder Polizeihüte mit einer wesentlichen nach vorne abragenden, formsteifen Schutzkrempe).According to the invention, either the entire brim may be drawn inwardly to the head fit, or merely a cover forming the underside or a coating forming the underside of the brim. Extending the underside of the brim to the head fit means that for an observer, the headgear resting on a wearer's head obliquely from below gives the impression that the underside of the brim or the entire brim from the outside inward to the head contour the carrier runs. The headgear according to the invention preferably has a hat structure with a completely circumferential brim. However, the invention also includes a headgear with a hat structure in which the brim protrudes outward only over a part of the circumference of the hat structure (in particular military or police hats with a substantial, forwardly protruding, dimensionally stable protective brim).
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung eignet sich in besonders vorteilhafter Weise für Kopfbedeckungen, die aufgrund der Betätigung ihrer Träger zum einen eine Kopfschutzfunktion erfüllen müssen und zum anderen durch ihr Aussehen einer charakteristischen Hinweis auf die durch den Träger durchgeführte Tätigkeit geben. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die erfindungsgemäße Lösung im Reitsport, vorzugsweise im Westernreitsport oder im Dressurreitsport, einsetzbar. Im Dressurreitsport reiten die Sportlerinnen und Sportler bislang als Kopfbedeckungen mit Zylindern, die keinerlei Kopfschutzfunktion haben. Im Westernreitsport reiten die Sportlerinnen und Sportler mit Westernhüten, die ebenfalls keinerlei Kopfschutzfunktion haben. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung kann insoweit das Aussehen eines typischen Dressurzylinders oder eines typischen Westernhutes kombinieren mit einer Kopfschutzfunktion. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung eignet sich auch für Kopfbedeckungen von Uniformen, die neben dem charakteristischen, zur Uniform passenden Aussehen noch eine Kopfschutzfunktion umfassen sollen. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung wird demzufolge der Kopf des Trägers vor Verletzungen geschützt. Gleichzeitig dient sie dennoch in geeigneter Weise als Schmuck oder Charakteristikum für die Zugehörigkeit des Trägers zu einer bestimmten Personengruppe, sei es einer bestimmten Reitsportgruppe, einer Berufsgruppe oder einer Freizeitgruppe.The solution according to the invention is particularly suitable for headgear, which must perform a head protection function on the one hand due to the operation of their wearer and on the other by their appearance a characteristic indication of the performed by the wearer activity. Particularly advantageous solution according to the invention in equestrian sports, preferably in Western riding or dressage riding, can be used. In dressage riding, the athletes have hitherto been riding as headgear with cylinders that have no head protection function. In Western riding, the athletes ride with Western hats, which also have no head protection function. The solution according to the invention can insofar The look of a typical dressage cylinder or a typical Western hat combine with a head protection function. The solution according to the invention is also suitable for headgear of uniforms, which should also include a head protection function in addition to the characteristic, matching the uniform appearance. The inventive solution consequently protects the wearer's head from injury. At the same time, however, it is suitably used as a jewelery or characteristic of the wearer's membership of a particular group of persons, be it a particular equestrian group, a professional group or a recreational group.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Hutaufbau zumindest über einen Teil seiner Höhe zumindest im Wesentlichen auf eine Kopfpassform abgestimmt. Diese Ausgestaltung geht von der Erkenntnis aus, dass das ästhetische Empfinden eines zu einem Kopf eines Trägers passenden Hutes damit zusammenhängt, wie sich die Kontur des Hutaufbaus zur Kontur des Kopfes des Trägers verhält. Ein passender Hut fluchtet mit seinem Hutaufbau zumindest ungefähr mit - je nach Betrachterwinkel von vorne, von hinten oder von der Seite - seitlichen, vorderen oder hinteren Flanken der Kopfpassform des Trägers. Besonders bevorzugt wird für die Kopfpassform gemäß der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung eine Front- oder Rückansicht des Kopfes gewählt. Es genügt für die vorliegende Ausgestaltung, wenn ein fluchtender Eindruck des Hutaufbaus mit der Kopfpassform aus einer einzelnen Betrachterrichtung der Kopfpassform gefunden ist. Die Formulierung, dass der Hutaufbau zumindest im Wesentlichen mit der Kopfpassform fluchten soll, bedeutet, dass ein gleiches fluchtendes Verhalten für den entsprechenden Teil des Hutaufbaus erfolgen soll, wie es bei einem üblichen Hut ohne zusätzliche Schutzfunktion der Fall wäre. Die Formulierung, dass der Hutaufbau zumindest über einen Teil seiner Höhe zu der Kopfpassform fluchten soll, bedeutet, dass ausgehend von der Krempe bis zur Spitze des Hutaufbaus wenigstens ein Drittel, vorzugsweise die Hälfte, der Höhe nach Art eines einer Kopfpassform ohne zusätzliche Schutzfunktion angepassten Hutes entsprechen soll. Der Begriff des Abstimmens des Hutaufbaus auf die Kopfpassform bedeutet, dass der Hutaufbau über den entsprechenden Teil seiner Höhe so gestaltet ist, wie ein Hutaufbau eines Hutes ohne zusätzliche Kopfschutzfunktion, der von seiner Passgröße her auf den Kopf eines entsprechenden Trägers angepasst ist. Dies bedeutet, dass ein unterer sichtbarer Ansatz des Hutaufbaus etwa auf Höhe der Flucht der Seitenflanken der Kopfpassform positioniert sein muss. Wenn der Hutaufbau im Wesentlichen zylindrisch ist, fluchtet der Hutaufbau nicht lediglich über einen kleinen Bereich seiner Höhe, sondern über seine gesamte sichtbare Höhe im Wesentlichen mit der Kopfpassform. Bei sich konisch oder in anderer Art und Weise nach oben verjüngendem Hutaufbau fluchtet lediglich der untere, sichtbare Ansatz mit der Kopfpassform. Nach oben anschließend erfolgt die entsprechend konische, halbkugelförmige, pyramidenförmige oder anders gestaltete Verjüngung.In an embodiment of the invention, the hat structure is at least over a portion of its height at least substantially matched to a Kopfpassform. This embodiment is based on the recognition that the aesthetic sensation of a matching to a head of a wearer hat is related to how the contour of the hat structure to the contour of the head of the wearer behaves. A matching hat is at least approximately aligned with its hat structure - depending on the viewing angle from the front, from the back or from the side - lateral, front or rear flanks of the head fit of the wearer. Particularly preferred for the Kopfpassform according to the present embodiment, a front or rear view of the head is selected. It is sufficient for the present embodiment, when an aligned impression of the hat structure is found with the Kopfpassform from a single viewing direction of the Kopfpassform. The formulation that the hat structure should at least substantially be aligned with the head fitting means that the same alignment should be carried out for the corresponding part of the hat structure, as would be the case with a conventional hat without additional protective function. The wording that the hat structure is to be aligned with the head fit over at least a portion of its height means that, starting from the brim to the top of the hat structure, at least one third, preferably half, of the height is a Kopfpassform without additional protective function adapted to match hat. The notion of tuning the hat structure to the head fit means that the hat structure over the corresponding portion of its height is designed as a hat structure of a hat without additional head protection function, which is adjusted by its fit size on the head of a corresponding wearer. This means that a lower visible approach of the hat structure must be positioned approximately at the level of alignment of the side edges of the head fitting. When the hat structure is substantially cylindrical, the hat structure is aligned not only over a small portion of its height, but over its entire visible height substantially with the head fitting. With conically or in another way upwardly tapering Hutaufbau only the lower, visible approach with the Kopfpassform aligned. Upwards then the corresponding conical, hemispherical, pyramidal or otherwise designed taper occurs.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Stoßdämpfungsschale einen Stirnringabschnitt im Bereich der Kopfpassform mit voller Stoßdämpfungsfunktion, einen Übergangsringabschnitt mit reduzierter Stoßdämpfungsfunktion und einen an den Übergangsabschnitt nach oben anschließenden Kopfabschnitt mit reduzierter oder voller Stoßdämpfungsfunktion auf. Über die Höhe des Kopfes eines entsprechenden menschlichen Trägers der Kopfbedeckung ist somit eine unterschiedliche Stoßdämpfungsfunktion vorgesehen. Diese resultiert daraus, dass im Übergangsringabschnitt die Stoßdämpfungsschale schmal ausgeführt sein muss, um den Ansatz des sichtbaren und auf die Kopfpassform abgestimmten Hutaufbaus in diesem Bereich zu ermöglichen. In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist der Übergansringabschnitt im Bereich eines von außen sichtbaren Ansatzes des Hutaufbaus angeordnet, ab dem der Hutaufbau sich nach oben, zumindest im Wesentlichen abgestimmt auf die Kopfpassform, fortsetzt. Vorzugsweise wird der Übergangsringabschnitt durch eine umlaufende Stufe zwischen dem unteren Stirnringabschnitt und dem oberen Kopfabschnitt gebildet. Der Stirnringabschnitt umschließt den Kopf des Trägers auf Höhe eines Stirnbereiches des Kopfes.In a further embodiment of the invention, the shock-absorbing shell has an end ring section in the area of the head fitting with full shock absorption function, a transition ring section with reduced shock absorption function and a head section adjoining the transition section upwards with reduced or full shock absorption function. Over the height of the head of a corresponding human wearer of the headgear thus a different shock absorption function is provided. This results from the fact that in the transition ring section, the shock-absorbing shell must be made narrow to allow the approach of the visible and tailored to the Kopfpassform hat structure in this area. In a further embodiment, the transition ring section is arranged in the region of an externally visible attachment of the hat structure, from which the hat structure continues upward, at least substantially in tune with the head fitting. Preferably, the transition ring portion is formed by a circumferential step between the lower end ring portion and the upper head portion. The Stirnringabschnitt encloses the head of the wearer at the level of a frontal area of the head.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind dem Übergangsringabschnitt zusätzliche Stoßschutzmittel zugeordnet, die im Bereich des Übergangsringabschnittes integriert sind oder den Übergangsringabschnitt außen überlagern. Die Stoßschutzmittel gleichen die durch den Übergangsringabschnitt selbst reduzierte Stoßdämpfungsfunktion zumindest teilweise wieder aus. Durch die Integration im Bereich des Übergangsabschnittes sind die Stoßschutzmittel in der Stoßdämpfungsschale integriert.In a further embodiment of the invention, the transition ring portion additional shock protection means are assigned, which are integrated in the region of the transition ring portion or overlap the transition ring portion outside. The impact protection means at least partially compensate for the shock absorption function reduced by the transition ring section itself. Due to the integration in the area of the transition section, the impact protection means are integrated in the shock absorption shell.
Vorzugsweise sind die einzelnen Abschnitte der Stoßdämpfungsschale durch energieabsorbierendes Schaummaterial wie insbesondere expandiertes Polystyrol, gegebenenfalls kombiniert mit wenigstens einer Hartschale am Außen- oder Innenumfang, gebildet.The individual sections of the shock-absorbing shell are preferably formed by energy-absorbing foam material, in particular expanded polystyrene, optionally combined with at least one hard shell on the outer or inner circumference.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfassen die Stoßschutzmittel brückenartig wirksame Energieverteilungselemente, die derart angeordnet sind, dass sie Stoßenergie auf den Stirnringabschnitt und/oder den Kopfabschnitt der Stoßdämpfungsschale übertragen. Dadurch wird die auf den Übergangsringabschnitt treffende Stoßenergie zumindest teilweise auf die darüber und/oder darunter liegenden Abschnitte der Stoßdämpfungsschale übertragen, wodurch sich eine Vergleichmäßigung der Energieabsorption ergibt.In a further embodiment of the invention, the impact protection means comprise bridge-like effective energy distribution elements, which are arranged such that they transmit impact energy to the end ring portion and / or the head portion of the shock absorbing shell. As a result, the impact energy striking the transition ring section is at least partially transmitted to the sections above and / or below the shock absorption shell, resulting in a homogenization of the energy absorption.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weisen die Stoßschutzmittel wenigstens einen Stoßdämpfungsring auf, der außenseitig auf dem Übergangsringabschnitt angeordnet ist und insbesondere das Aussehen einer Hutschnur besitzt. Ein derartiger Stoßdämpfungsring kann in eine durch den Übergangsringabschnitt gebildete Ringstufe eingelegt sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the impact protection means have at least one shock-absorbing ring, which is arranged on the outside on the transition ring portion and in particular has the appearance of a hat-shaped cord. Such a shock-absorbing ring may be inserted into an annular step formed by the transition ring section.
Der optische Eindruck einer Hutschnur verbirgt die zusätzliche Stoßdämpfungsfunktion, die der entsprechende Stoßdämpfungsring hat.The visual impression of a hat-string hides the additional shock-absorbing function that the corresponding shock-absorbing ring has.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Stoßdämpfungsschale mehrteilig aufgebaut. Die entsprechenden Teile oder Abschnitte der Stoßdämpfungsschale können lösbar oder unlösbar miteinander verbunden sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the shock absorbing shell is constructed in several parts. The corresponding parts or sections of the shock-absorbing shell can be detachably or non-detachably connected to one another.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Stirnringabschnitt als außen auf den Hutaufbau aufgesetzter Ring gestaltet, der insbesondere außenseitig die Gestaltung eines Hutbandes aufweist. Das außenseitige Aufsetzen des stoßdämpfenden Stirnringabschnittes auf den Hutaufbau gewährleistet das Anschmiegen des Hutaufbaus an die Kopfpassform. Der außenseitig aufgesetzte Stirnringabschnitt übernimmt die gewünschte Kopfschutzfunktion für den Kopf des Trägers der Kopfbedeckung. Die vorteilhafte außenseitige Gestaltung des Ringes als Hutband verbirgt optisch die Stoßdämpfungs- und Schutzfunktion des Stirnringabschnittes.In a further embodiment of the invention, the end ring section is designed as a ring attached to the outside of the hat structure, which in particular has the outside of the design of a hatband. The external placement of the shock-absorbing Stirnringabschnittes on the hat structure ensures nestling of the hat structure to the Kopfpassform. The externally mounted end ring section assumes the desired head protection function for the head of the wearer of the headgear. The advantageous outside design of the ring as a hatband visually hides the Stoßdämpfungs- and protective function of the end ring section.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verläuft der Kopfabschnitt der Stoßdämpfungsschale innerhalb des Hutaufbaus und schließt zumindest über einen Teil der Höhe des Hutaufbaus an eine Innenkontur des Hutaufbaus bündig und flächig an. Der Kopfabschnitt der Stoßdämpfungsschale kann demzufolge den Hutaufbau von innen her zumindest teilweise mit stoßdämpfendem Material auffüllen. Neben einer guten Formstabilität des Hutaufbaus wird hierdurch eine weiter verbesserte Schutzfunktion für einen Kopf des Trägers erzielt.In a further embodiment of the invention, the head portion of the shock absorbing shell extends within the hat structure and includes at least over part of the height of the hat structure to an inner contour of the hat structure flush and flat. The head portion of the shock absorbing shell can therefore fill the hat structure from the inside at least partially with shock-absorbing material. In addition to a good dimensional stability of the hat structure thereby a further improved protection function for a head of the wearer is achieved.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind der Kopfabschnitt und der Stirnringabschnitt an ihren an den Übergangsringabschnitt angrenzenden Endbereichen mit energieabsorbierenden Verdickungen versehen. Dadurch ergeben sich bei flächigen Stoßbelastungen Stoßabfangfunktionen durch die Verdickungen, die den dünneren und weniger energieabsorbierenden Übergangsringabschnitt entlasten. Bei spitzen, im wesentlichen punktförmigen Stoßbelastungen auf Höhe des reduzierten energieabsorbierenden Übergangsringabschnittes, können diese Verdickungen keinen zusätzlichen Schutz bieten. Für derartige punktartige Stoßbelastungen auf Höhe des Übergangsringabschnitts sind die brückenartig wirksamen Energieverteilungselemente von Vorteil, die die auftretenden, punktartigen Stoßbelastungen auf die darüber und darunter liegenden Abschnitte der Stoßdämpfungsschale übertragen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the head portion and the end ring portion are provided at their adjacent to the transition ring portion end portions with energy-absorbing thickening. This results in flat impact loads shock absorption functions through the thickenings that relieve the thinner and less energy absorbing transition ring section. For sharp, substantially punctiform impact loads at the level of the reduced energy absorbing transition ring portion, these thickening can provide no additional protection. For such point-like shock loads at the level of the transition ring portion, the bridge-like effective energy distribution elements are beneficial that transmit the occurring, point-like shock loads on the above and below sections of the shock absorbing shell.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist wenigstens ein zusätzliches Schutzmodul vorgesehen, das für das Erzielen einer vorgegebenen Schutzhelmnorm mit höherer Schutzstufe für die Kopfbedeckung notwendig ist, und das mit der Stoßdämpfungsschale und/oder dem Hutaufbau und/oder der Krempe fest verbindbar ist. Dadurch ergibt sich bezüglich der Schutzfunktion der Kopfbedeckung die Möglichkeit eines modularen Aufbaus. Je nachdem, welche Schutzhelmnorm die Kopfbedeckung zu erfüllen hat, kann lediglich eine Grundversion eingesetzt werden, oder an diese Grundversion wenigstens ein zusätzliches Schutzmodul - je nach Erfordernissen der Schutzhelmnorm - angefügt werden. Die feste Verbindung zwischen dem wenigstens einen zusätzlichen Schutzmodul und der Stoßdämpfungsschale und/oder dem Hutaufbau und/oder der Krempe kann als eine lösbare oder unlösbare Verbindung vorgesehen sein. Die Verbindung kann zudem vorteilhaft werkzeuglos und kraft- oder formschlüssig oder stoffschlüssig ausgeführt werden. Die Grundversion soll zumindest eine mit einem Stirnringabschnitt und einem Kopfabschnitt versehene Stoßdämpfungsschale aufweisen.In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one additional protection module is provided, which is necessary for achieving a predetermined safety helmet standard with higher protection level for the headgear, and which is firmly connected to the shock absorbing shell and / or the hat structure and / or the brim. This results in the possibility of a modular structure with regard to the protective function of the headgear. Depending on which helmet standard has to meet the headgear, only a basic version can be used, or at least an additional protection module - depending on the requirements of the helmet norm - attached to this basic version. The fixed connection between the at least one additional protection module and the shock absorbing shell and / or the hat structure and / or the brim may be provided as a detachable or non-detachable connection. The compound can also be advantageously carried out tool-free and non-positive or positive or cohesive. The basic version should have at least one provided with a Stirnringabschnitt and a head portion shock absorbing shell.
