Definitions
- the invention relates to a headgear with an attachable to the headgear UV protection device, and a protective device for placement on a headgear.
- malignant changes in the skin increasingly occur.
- malignant melanomas represent a particularly aggressive type of skin cancer. All changes in the skin are favored by increased UV radiation.
- UV protection shields which are arranged on caps or the like and shield the eye area and the upper half of the face against UV radiation, are known in particular for protecting the eyes and the field of vision.
- a disadvantage of these devices is that adequate protection is given only in the area of the eyes and surrounding skin. Continued protection, for example, the full face, the ears and the neck area do not convey such shields.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a way of UV protection for the entire head area in a simple manner and without affecting the user.
- Protective devices for placement on a headgear are out US 2011/0030114 and US 2008/0066214 already known.
- the headgear comprises a UV protection device that can be arranged on the headgear.
- a UV protection device filters out the amount of UVA, UV-B and partially UV-C radiation from the sunlight, so that no harmful radiation can affect the skin.
- the protective device surrounds the head covering in the circumferential direction in particular completely.
- a head covering in the circumferential direction surrounding protection provides protection for all head areas that lie below the headgear.
- the protective device thus covers not only the face or the visual field or the face region of the wearer or user, but also the ear and neck area of the wearer.
- the headgear thus allows for full protection and is particularly easy to wear because the protector is worn separately from the direct face or head contact due to the spacing to the wearer's head or face. Moreover, the fact that the protective device completely encloses the head covering in the circumferential direction substantially prevents weight distribution of the protector and slipping of the headgear, thus effectively preventing the protector from being removed from its face shielding position.
- the headgear is designed as a hat, cap, cap, beret, helmet, preferably bicycle, motorcycle, safety helmet or headband.
- the protective device it is considered favorable if the headgear has a brim, a shield or a particular projecting edge. As a result, a distance from the face of the wearer is achieved.
- Such elements of the headgear are not absolutely necessary, since also an arrangement of the protection device directly on the headgear, if this is designed, for example, as a beret or shield or brimless cap is possible.
- At least one holding or connecting means for the protective device is preferably provided on the protective device or additionally or alternatively on the headgear.

- the brim, shield or edge or in the headgear itself recesses or receptacles for the holding or connecting means or parts thereof are provided.
- the protective device can thus be attached to the headgear only when needed, for example, if a long stay outdoors is planned, or there is a particularly high UV exposure.
- the Protective device is formed of at least two parts. These parts complement each other to a total protection device.
- a part of the protective device serve to cover or protect the face and ear area, while a further part is provided for the protection of the neck area.
- the protective device has a UV filter.
- a UV filter can for example be integrated in the material used for the protection device. It is also possible that the protective device receives a subsequent coating with a UV filter material and thus their UV protection or SPF is increased.
- the protective device advantageously has at least one opaque and at least one translucent part or partial region.
- the translucent part or portion is conveniently located in the face or field of view of the wearer of the headgear.
- the opaque portion may be used to achieve complete coverage or shadowing of the ears or neck region of the wearer.
- the parts or partial regions are detachably connected to one another in a detachable manner.
- a clamping, plug, button or clip connection is provided here.
- a zip or Velcro closure is provided here, via which the parts or subregions are connected to one another can.
- the connecting means for the parts of the protective device are combined with the connecting means for the protective device and the headgear. In this case, a single part is then used to connect the parts or subregions of the protective device and to connect the protective device to the headgear.
- a special stability receives both the headgear, as well as the protective device in that at least a portion or portion is at least partially or partially formed of a rigid material.
- the area of the protective device intended to protect the face or field of vision of the wearer may be formed of a rigid material.

- the protective device is formed of a flexible material.
- the flexible material is in the form of a film material. While a sheet material shields the face area of the user of the headgear, the portion or portion of the protector formed of a textile material may shield or shade the ear or neck area. Overall, therefore, a lighter and more comfortable to carry embodiment of the headgear or the protective device arranged thereon can be provided, since the materials used are lighter overall, but is not part of the invention.
- the film may also be partially or entirely formed as a photovoltaic element and serve in conjunction with a suitable controller - or charging system for power generation. Also included is the integration of organic light-emitting films (OLED) in the protective device or the films.
- OLED organic light-emitting films
- a two-part or multi-part design of the protective device makes it possible, as provided in a preferred embodiment of the headgear according to the invention, for the parts to be pivotable, in particular pivotable relative to one another.

- the Protective device is for placement on a headgear. It is provided that the protective device encloses a head covering in the circumferential direction in particular completely. The extent of the headgear is defined as the area which rests on the head of the wearer and surrounds it substantially completely. A circumferentially completely enclosing the headgear thus protective device covers all parts of the face or head of the wearer below an imaginary support line of the headgear on the skull.
- the protective device can be arranged in particular on a brim, a shield or a particular projecting edge of the headgear.
- the protective device is attached to the body of the headgear, if the headgear has no brim, no shield or no at least partially projecting edge.
- a protective device and headgear connecting connecting means is preferably provided which can be fixed in particular to the brim, the shield or preferably the projecting edge of the headgear.
- the connecting means is preferably designed as a clamping, plug-in, screw, adhesive, Velcro or clips connection and surrounds the brim, the shield or the edge of the head covering at least partially.
- Such a clamping or plug or clip connection allows subsequent arrangement and removal of the protective device of the headgear. This opens up the possibility that the headgear is also available for other purposes, for example, if not excessive sunlight is to be expected.
- the protective device arranged on the headgear, and in particular on its brim, shield or projecting edge has the advantage that it is arranged at a distance from the head or face region of the wearer or user of the protective device, so that no direct action of the protective device on the head region of the wearer takes place. However, a sufficient protective effect is still given.
- the spaced arrangement of the protective material relative to the face or head, ear or neck region of the wearer also offers the advantage that air can circulate between the protection device and the head of the wearer, which additionally causes a cooling effect. This cooling effect is significantly improved by the fact that a large part of the solar radiation or heat radiation is blocked by the protection device and thus can not lead to excessive heating of the head area of the wearer. In addition to the comfort aspect, this also has a health benefit, since overheating of the head area, in particular, can often have adverse effects which can be prevented or at least reduced by the protective device according to the invention and a head covering equipped therewith.
- a further preferred embodiment of the protective device according to the present invention provides that it has a two- or multi-part design.
- the parts of the protective device complement each other to the complete protection device that surrounds the head of the wearer or the headgear holding the protective device at least circumferentially completely.

- at least a first part of the protection device is formed opaque, while one or more further parts of the protective device are translucent.
- a transparent part can be arranged in the region of the visual field or field of view of the wearer while, for example, the ear and neck area can be better protected against direct sunlight by an opaque part of the protection device.
- the protective effect of the protective device is substantially improved by at least partially integrating a UV filter into the protective device.
- a UV filter may be a chemical UV filter, with which the material of the protection device is impregnated and whereby its SPF is increased.
- their UV blocking performance is increased by a corresponding coating or coating, in particular the permeable parts of the protective device.
- An embodiment regarded as favorable provides that the parts are detachably connected to each other.
- This embodiment offers the possibility of a variable composition of the protection device and the replacement of individual parts.
- part of the protective device can be removed and replaced by a new and / or cleaned part.
- the protective device has at least one part which is formed from a rigid material.
- at least a part may be formed of a flexible material.
- This material is in particular a film or textile material.
- a rigid material for example, a plastic disc or the like can be used.
- the part formed of a rigid material not only provides protection against harmful rays, but can also be used as splinter or impact protection. Both the flexible and the rigid material can have a curvature or bending and thus trace the natural shape of the head, which has a particularly favorable effect on the comfort of the protective device, as it can be made less bulky.
- the protective device is formed from a flexible material, then this is a film material.
- a protection device suitable for a very wide variety of applications. This has in addition to an increased protective effect on an improved comfort, but is not part of the invention.
- the parts forming the protective device are formed from the same or different materials.
- the protective device is formed from two or more parts, then it is considered favorable if the parts are designed to be pivotable, in particular pivotable relative to one another. In this way, the functionality previously described in connection with the headgear can be achieved, that a part of the protective device pivots in the manner of a visor or can be folded up to release the wearer's field of vision.
- an improved adaptability of the protection device can be adapted to the conditions and requirements on the part of the wearer, by pivoting the part of the protection device protecting or shielding the neck region, for example.
- the protective device consists of more than two parts and if, for example, separate parts are provided for the protection of the ears, then these parts can be pivoted or folded away to release the ears in order to achieve improved air circulation under the protective device or headgear.
- the protective device has, in an embodiment considered advantageous, at least partially a reinforcement, in particular a bracing or reinforcement.
- a splinter or impact protection is taught, which significantly extends their application.
- the protection device then also provides protection against splinters or the like.
- the protective device can, with a suitable combination of reinforced parts and UV or light blocking Parts are made available for further use. If a protective device designed as described above with a shock-proof or fragment-protecting part or partial region is arranged, for example, on a helmet, there is the possibility here that protection against impact or splintering action is combined with UV or light protection.
- Such protective devices or headgear which are provided with these protections are then suitable, for example, for use in construction, forestry, fire protection, civil protection, in the mine or explosive ordnance clearance or for any other hazardous activities, in addition to the protection against mechanical Impacts also a light or UV protection is necessary and useful.
- Fig. 1 shows a cap 10. This is a cap. On the shield 11 of the headgear 10, which is designed as a cap and the cap completely peripherally enclosing a protective device 20 is arranged. The arrangement of the protective device 20 on the shield 11 or the cap via a holding means 12, which in the embodiment of Fig. 1 is formed as a bracket 13. This clip 13 is attached to the plate 11 and is firmly connected to the protective device 20. The bracket 13 may be molded, for example, in the protective device 20 or glued or adhered to this. The in the Fig. 1 shown protection device 20 consists of a total of three parts 21a, b, c, d.
- the first part 21a is provided as a transparent region of the protective device 20 and is located in particular in the region of the visual field of the carrier 30 of the device.
- the transparent part 21a of the protective device 20 assumes the function of a visor or glasses. Due to the embodiment of a flexible, translucent, but UV-blocking material, this part 21a assumes the function of a visor and protects the carrier 30 against radiation. Due to the fact that the material of the part 21a is selected to be correspondingly stable, this also imparts impact protection or splinter protection for the carrier 30 when it uses the protective device 20, for example in manual work, when cycling or the like.
- Another part 21b of the protection device 20 is made of a flexible textile material which is not translucent.
- This material adjoins below the first translucent part 21a and continues in the neck region 31 of the carrier 30.
- the part extends 21b and thus provides optimum protection of the entire neck portion 31 of the carrier 30.
- the opaque version of the part 21b blocks this one harmful UV radiation, but also heat radiation or the like, so that in addition a shading - And thus cooling effect can be achieved can.
- the two parts 21a, 21b are permanently connected to each other.
- the protective device 20, consisting of the parts 21a and 21b, is thus fastened to the cap 10 or its shield and in this case forms the protective device 20 or the head covering according to the invention.
- the protective device 20 in the region of the ears 32 of the carrier 30 has a further region 21c formed of a textile material.
- This is designed to be more permeable than the other parts 21a, b of the protective device 20 and thus makes it possible that noise, for example warnings or road traffic noise to the carrier 30 and its ear 32 can penetrate.
- the material of the part 21 c is chosen so that a complete radiation protection is ensured here. Due to the choice of material in the Fig. 1 shown protection device 20, this is particularly easy and therefore comfortable to wear.
- the subsequent or as needed arrangement of the protective device 20 on a shield 11 allows an individual response to the respective expected radiation situation or solar radiation.
- protection device 20 thus allows optimal protection of the support 30 with a comfortable fit, but is not part of the invention.
- Fig. 2 shows another possible protection device 20.
- the protective device 20 is in the embodiment of Fig. 2 arranged on a cap without a shield 11, that is, a connection of protective device 20 and headgear 10 via retaining means 12 which act directly on the actual cap body 14.
- the first part 21a of the protective device 20 is designed in the manner of a visor and formed from a transparent, in particular translucent material.
- the second Part 21b of the protection device 20 consists of a particularly lightweight and therefore comfortable to wear textile material.
- the two parts 21a, b connected to each other such that the front, translucent part 21a in the manner of a visor relative to the second part 21b, which is fixedly connected to the cap body 14, in the direction of arrow A is pivotable.
- This allows, for example, when entering rooms or other, less light intensive areas, the face shield, that is, the visor, fold up, so that here a better view can be guaranteed. If the wearer 30 of the protection device 20 or the hat thus equipped returns to the daylight and is again exposed to UV radiation, this can, in order to protect his face or the front part of the face, pivot the part 21a counter to the direction of the arrow A in order to return optimally protect.
- Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of the protective device 20 on a hat 15.
- This hat 15 has a circumferential rim 16. This extends away from the hat 15 and serves to receive the holding means 12 of the protective device 20.
- the holding means 12, which in the embodiment of the Fig. 3 are also formed as brackets 13, are thereby attached to the brim 16.
- the brackets 13 are designed such that they allow in addition to the attachment to the brim 16 and a plugging in the protection device or its parts 21a, b. It can thus be made a releasably firm connection between the protective device 20 and hat 15, which also allows to use the hat 15 without the protection device 20, that is, the protective device 20 only as needed to arrange the hat 15.
- the protective device 20 is formed in the embodiment as a one-piece element and surrounds the hat 15 circumferentially completely.
- the protective device 20 is in this case designed as a ring, for example a ring formed from a sheet material, and is attached to the corresponding holding means 12 attached as needed.
- the simple manner of production namely as a film ring, makes it possible to produce the protective device 20 particularly cost-effectively and to offer it. It can thus be achieved in a simple and cost-effective manner optimal protection of the face or head area against harmful radiation.
- the protective device 20 can be removed from the hat 15 and, for example, stored and carried in a corresponding case, a bag or the like to be attached to the hat 15 again when needed.
- the retaining means 12 can either remain attached to the hat 15, that is to say on the brim 16, or can likewise be removed therefrom. Due to the clamping connection formed here, there is no interference with the material of the hat 15 or the brim 16 and thus their damage.
- Fig. 4 shows a special helmet, which is equipped with a non-inventive protection device 20.
- the helmet 17 is made of an impact-resistant material, such as a plastic material, formed and protects the wearer from mechanical impact by, for example, falling parts, objects or the like.
- a part of the protective device 20 is formed as a disc 22 formed of a rigid material.
- This has a peripheral frame 23, which among other things serves to connect the disc 22 with the further, second part 21b of the protective device 20.
- This further part 21b is formed from a textile net material, which shows both UV-absorbing effect, and thus has a particularly high SPF, and at the same time is particularly permeable to air and therefore breathable.
- the textile material of the second part 21b encloses the remainder of the circumference of the Helmet 17 completely and thus also allows protection of the ears 32 and the neck region 31 of the support 30 of the helmet 17 shown here.
- the disc, as the first part 21a of the protective device 20 is fixedly connected to the helmet 17.
- the helmet offers 17, as in Fig. 4 illustrated, a permanent protection against mechanical impairment of the carrier 30 and at the same time protection against harmful radiation acting on the carrier 30.
- combination of headgear 10 and protection device 20 is thus suitable as optimal protection in an outdoor activity.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kopfbedeckung mit einer an der Kopfbedeckung anordenbaren UV-Schutzvorrichtung, sowie eine Schutzvorrichtung zur Anordnung an einer Kopfbedeckung.The invention relates to a headgear with an attachable to the headgear UV protection device, and a protective device for placement on a headgear.
Aufgrund der zunehmenden UV-Strahlung kommt es verstärkt zu bösartigen Veränderungen der Haut. Insbesondere maligne Melanome stellen eine besonders aggressive Art von Hautkrebs dar. Sämtliche Veränderungen der Haut werden durch eine erhöhte UV-Einstrahlung begünstigt.Due to the increase in UV radiation, malignant changes in the skin increasingly occur. In particular, malignant melanomas represent a particularly aggressive type of skin cancer. All changes in the skin are favored by increased UV radiation.
Daher wird empfohlen, bei längerem Aufenthalt im Freien beziehungsweise erhöhter Sonneneinstrahlung Hautschutz, beispielsweise in Form von auf der Haut aufzutragenden Cremes oder dergleichen, anzuwenden, um das Risiko von Hauterkrankungen zu verringern. Das Auftragen der Substanzen wird jedoch oftmals als unangenehm empfunden. Zudem treten nicht selten allergische Reaktionen auf, die die Anwendung derartiger Hautschutzmittel verhindern.Therefore, it is recommended that you stay outdoors for a longer period of time increased sun exposure skin protection, for example in the form of applied to the skin creams or the like, to reduce the risk of skin diseases. However, the application of the substances is often perceived as unpleasant. In addition, allergic reactions often occur which prevent the use of such skin protection agents.
Bekannt sind insbesondere zum Schutz der Augen und des Gesichtsfeldes UV-Schutzschilde, die an Mützen oder dergleichen angeordnet werden und die Augenpartie sowie die obere Gesichtshälfte gegen UV-Strahlung abschirmen.In particular, UV protection shields, which are arranged on caps or the like and shield the eye area and the upper half of the face against UV radiation, are known in particular for protecting the eyes and the field of vision.
Nachteilig an diesen Vorrichtungen ist, dass ein ausreichender Schutz nur im Bereich der Augen und der diese umgebenden Hautpartien gegeben ist. Weitergehender Schutz, beispielsweise des vollen Gesichts, der Ohren sowie des Nackenbereiches vermitteln derartige Schutzschilde nicht.A disadvantage of these devices is that adequate protection is given only in the area of the eyes and surrounding skin. Continued protection, for example, the full face, the ears and the neck area do not convey such shields.
Insbesondere beim Aufenthalt im Freien, bei sportlicher Betätigung, beispielsweise beim Radfahren oder bei Arbeit in freier Natur, ist jedoch der Schutz der Haut, insbesondere im ständig dem Licht ausgesetzten Gesichts- und Kopfbereich, von besonderer Bedeutung.In particular, when staying outdoors, during exercise, for example when cycling or working in the wild, however, the protection of the skin, especially in the constantly exposed to the light face and head area, of particular importance.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Möglichkeit des UV-Schutzes für den gesamten Kopfbereich in einfacher Art und Weise sowie ohne Beeinträchtigung des Anwenders zur Verfügung zu stellen. Schutzvorrichtungen zur Anordnung an einer Kopfbedeckung sind aus
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die eingangs beschriebene Kopfbedeckung sowie eine Schutzvorrichtung zur Anordnung an einer Kopfbedeckung gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Kopfbedeckung umfasst eine an der Kopfbedeckung anordenbare UV-Schutzvorrichtung. Eine UV-Schutzvorrichtung filtert den Anteil an UVA, UV-B und teilweise UV-C Strahlung aus dem eingestrahlten Sonnenlicht aus, so dass keine schädliche Strahlung auf die Haut einwirken kann. Um einen umfassenden Schutz des gesamten Kopfbereiches zu erreichen, ist vorgesehen, dass die Schutzvorrichtung die Kopfbedeckung in Umfangsrichtung insbesondere vollständig umschließt. Eine die Kopfbedeckung in Umfangsrichtung umschließende Schutzvorrichtung bietet einen Schutz für sämtliche Kopfbereiche, die unterhalb der Kopfbedeckung liegen. Die Schutzvorrichtung bedeckt somit nicht nur das Gesicht beziehungsweise das Gesichtsfeld oder den Gesichtsbereich des Trägers oder Verwenders, sondern auch dessen Ohr- und Nackenbereich des.This object is achieved by the headgear described above and a protective device for placement on a headgear. The headgear according to the invention comprises a UV protection device that can be arranged on the headgear. A UV protection device filters out the amount of UVA, UV-B and partially UV-C radiation from the sunlight, so that no harmful radiation can affect the skin. In order to achieve a comprehensive protection of the entire head area, it is provided that the protective device surrounds the head covering in the circumferential direction in particular completely. A head covering in the circumferential direction surrounding protection provides protection for all head areas that lie below the headgear. The protective device thus covers not only the face or the visual field or the face region of the wearer or user, but also the ear and neck area of the wearer.
Die Kopfbedeckung erlaubt somit einen umfassenden Schutz und ist dabei besonders leicht zu tragen, da die Schutzvorrichtung aufgrund der Beabstandung zu Kopf beziehungsweise Gesicht des Trägers von dem direkten Gesichts- beziehungsweise Kopfkontakt getrennt getragen wird. Zudem kommt es, dadurch, dass die Schutzvorrichtung die Kopfbedeckung in Umfangsrichtung vollständig umschließt, zu einer wesentlich besseren Gewichtsverteilung der Schutzvorrichtung und ein Verrutschen der Kopfbedeckung wird somit wirkungsvoll verhindert, wodurch auch verhindert wird, dass die Schutzvorrichtung aus ihrer das Gesicht abschirmenden Position entfernt wird.The headgear thus allows for full protection and is particularly easy to wear because the protector is worn separately from the direct face or head contact due to the spacing to the wearer's head or face. Moreover, the fact that the protective device completely encloses the head covering in the circumferential direction substantially prevents weight distribution of the protector and slipping of the headgear, thus effectively preventing the protector from being removed from its face shielding position.
Als vorteilhaft wird angesehen, wenn die Kopfbedeckung als Hut, Mütze, Kappe, Barett, Helm, bevorzugt Fahrrad-, Motorrad-, Arbeitsschutzhelm oder Stirnband ausgebildet ist. Zur vereinfachten Anordnung der Schutzvorrichtung wird es als günstig angesehen, wenn die Kopfbedeckung eine Krempe, ein Schild oder einen insbesondere vorspringenden Rand aufweist. Hierdurch wird auch eine Beabstandung vom Gesicht des Trägers erreicht. Derartige Elemente der Kopfbedeckung sind nicht zwingend notwendig, da ebenfalls eine Anordnung der Schutzvorrichtung direkt an der Kopfbedeckung, wenn diese beispielsweise als Barett oder schild- beziehungsweise krempenlose Kappe ausgebildet ist, möglich ist.It is considered advantageous if the headgear is designed as a hat, cap, cap, beret, helmet, preferably bicycle, motorcycle, safety helmet or headband. For simplified arrangement of the protective device, it is considered favorable if the headgear has a brim, a shield or a particular projecting edge. As a result, a distance from the face of the wearer is achieved. Such elements of the headgear are not absolutely necessary, since also an arrangement of the protection device directly on the headgear, if this is designed, for example, as a beret or shield or brimless cap is possible.
Um eine Verbindung zwischen Schutzvorrichtung und Kopfbedeckung zu ermöglichen, ist bevorzugt an der Schutzvorrichtung beziehungsweise zusätzlich oder alternativ an der Kopfbedeckung wenigstens ein Halte- oder Verbindungsmittel für die Schutzvorrichtung vorgesehen.In order to enable a connection between the protective device and the headgear, at least one holding or connecting means for the protective device is preferably provided on the protective device or additionally or alternatively on the headgear.
Bei dem Halte- oder Verbindungsmittel handelt es sich bevorzugt um eine Klemm-, Steck-, Schraub- oder Clips-Vorrichtung, die an der Krempe, dem Schild oder dem Rand der Kopfbedeckung oder an der Kopfbedeckung selbst angeordnet oder anordenbar ist. Derartige Halte- oder Verbindungsmittel können beispielsweise als zum Aufstecken oder Anklemmen geeignete Klammern ausgebildet sein. Daneben besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass an der Schutzvorrichtung beziehungsweise der Kopfbedeckung eine Aufnahme vorgesehen wird, die mit einer Schraube oder dergleichen in Wirkverbindung bringbar ist, um eine Verbindung zwischen Schutzvorrichtung und Kopfbedeckung zu erreichen.The holding or connecting means is preferably a clamping, plug-in, screw or clip device which is arranged or can be arranged on the brim, the shield or the edge of the headgear or on the headgear itself. Such holding or connecting means may be formed, for example, as suitable for attaching or clamping clamps. In addition, there is also the possibility that a receptacle is provided on the protective device or the headgear, which can be brought into operative connection with a screw or the like in order to achieve a connection between the protective device and the headgear.
Das Halte- oder Verbindungsmittel umgreift dabei bevorzugt die Krempe, das Schild oder den Rand der Kopfbedeckung zumindest teilweise. Selbstverständlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass in Krempe, Schild oder Rand oder aber in der Kopfbedeckung selbst Ausnehmungen oder Aufnahmen für die Halte- oder Verbindungsmittel oder Teile davon vorgesehen sind. Hierdurch wird eine lösbare Verbindung zwischen Schutzvorrichtung und Kopfbedeckung möglich. Die Schutzvorrichtung kann somit nur bedarfsweise an der Kopfbedeckung angebracht werden, wenn beispielsweise ein längerer Aufenthalt im Freien geplant ist, oder eine besonders hohe UV-Belastung vorliegt.The holding or connecting means preferably surrounds the brim, the shield or the edge of the head covering at least partially. Of course, there is also the possibility that in the brim, shield or edge or in the headgear itself recesses or receptacles for the holding or connecting means or parts thereof are provided. As a result, a detachable connection between the protective device and headgear is possible. The protective device can thus be attached to the headgear only when needed, for example, if a long stay outdoors is planned, or there is a particularly high UV exposure.
Eine als günstig angesehene Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die Schutzvorrichtung aus wenigstens zwei Teilen gebildet ist. Diese Teile ergänzen sich zu einer Gesamtschutzvorrichtung. Dabei kann beispielsweise ein Teil der Schutzvorrichtung dazu dienen, den Gesichts- und Ohrbereich abzudecken beziehungsweise zu schützen, während ein weiterer Teil für den Schutz der Nackenpartie vorgesehen ist.An embodiment regarded as favorable provides that the Protective device is formed of at least two parts. These parts complement each other to a total protection device. In this case, for example, a part of the protective device serve to cover or protect the face and ear area, while a further part is provided for the protection of the neck area.
Um insbesondere bei erhöhter UV-Strahlung einen umfassenden und vorteilhaften Schutz zu erzielen, ist vorgesehen, dass die Schutzvorrichtung einen UV-Filter aufweist. Ein derartiger Filter kann beispielsweise in dem für die Schutzvorrichtung verwendeten Material integriert werden. Ebenfalls besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Schutzvorrichtung eine nachträgliche Beschichtung mit einem UV-Filtermaterial erhält und somit deren UV-Schutz beziehungsweise Lichtschutzfaktor erhöht wird.In order to achieve a comprehensive and advantageous protection, in particular with increased UV radiation, it is provided that the protective device has a UV filter. Such a filter can for example be integrated in the material used for the protection device. It is also possible that the protective device receives a subsequent coating with a UV filter material and thus their UV protection or SPF is increased.
Die Schutzvorrichtung weist dabei günstigerweise wenigstens einen lichtundurchlässigen und wenigstens einen lichtdurchlässigen Teil oder Teilbereich auf. Der lichtdurchlässige Teil oder Teilbereich ist dabei günstigerweise im Gesichts- oder Sichtfeldbereich des Trägers der Kopfbedeckung angeordnet. Der lichtundurchlässige Teil oder Teilbereich kann beispielsweise verwendet werden, um eine vollständige Abdeckung oder Abschattung der Ohren beziehungsweise des Nackenbereiches des Trägers zu erreichen.The protective device advantageously has at least one opaque and at least one translucent part or partial region. The translucent part or portion is conveniently located in the face or field of view of the wearer of the headgear. For example, the opaque portion may be used to achieve complete coverage or shadowing of the ears or neck region of the wearer.
Um bezüglich der Ausgestaltung der Schutzvorrichtung und der damit versehenen Kopfbedeckung eine erhöhte Flexibilität zu bieten, ist vorgesehen, dass die Teile oder Teilbereiche lösbar fest miteinander verbunden sind. Um die Teile oder Teilbereiche mit einander zu verbinden, ist hier insbesondere eine Klemm-, Steck-, Knöpf- oder Clips-Verbindung vorgesehen. Neben derartigen Verbindungsmitteln besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass hier ein Reiß- oder Klettverschluss vorgesehen ist, über den die Teile beziehungsweise Teilbereiche miteinander verbunden werden können. Ebenfalls besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Verbindungsmittel für die Teile der Schutzvorrichtung mit den Verbindungsmitteln für die Schutzvorrichtung und der Kopfbedeckung kombiniert werden. Hierbei dient dann ein einziges Teil zur Verbindung der Teile oder Teilbereiche der Schutzvorrichtung und für die Verbindung der Schutzvorrichtung mit der Kopfbedeckung.In order to provide increased flexibility with regard to the design of the protective device and the headgear provided therewith, it is provided that the parts or partial regions are detachably connected to one another in a detachable manner. In order to connect the parts or sections with each other, in particular a clamping, plug, button or clip connection is provided here. In addition to such connection means, there is also the possibility that a zip or Velcro closure is provided here, via which the parts or subregions are connected to one another can. It is also possible that the connecting means for the parts of the protective device are combined with the connecting means for the protective device and the headgear. In this case, a single part is then used to connect the parts or subregions of the protective device and to connect the protective device to the headgear.
Eine besondere Stabilität erhält sowohl die Kopfbedeckung, wie auch die Schutzvorrichtung dadurch, dass wenigstens ein Teil oder Teilbereich zumindest abschnitts- oder bereichsweise aus einem starren Material gebildet ist. So kann beispielsweise der Bereich der Schutzvorrichtung, der das Gesicht beziehungsweise Gesichtsfeld des Trägers schützen soll, aus einem starren Material gebildet werden. Hierdurch erhält die Schutzvorrichtung nicht nur die Funktion eines UV-Schutzes beziehungsweise einer Blockiervorrichtung gegenüber Strahlung, sondern ermöglicht gleichzeitig auch einen Schutz gegen beispielsweise Gegenstände oder dergleichen, die möglicherweise auf das Gesicht einwirken könnten, aber ist nicht Teil der Erfindung.A special stability receives both the headgear, as well as the protective device in that at least a portion or portion is at least partially or partially formed of a rigid material. For example, the area of the protective device intended to protect the face or field of vision of the wearer may be formed of a rigid material. As a result, the protective device not only has the function of UV protection or a blocking device against radiation, but at the same time also allows protection against, for example, objects or the like which could possibly act on the face, but is not part of the invention.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist die Schutzvorrichtung aus einem flexiblen Material gebildet. Das flexible Material ist in Form eines Folienmaterials ausgebildet. Während ein Folienmaterial den Gesichtsbereich des Verwenders der Kopfbedeckung abschirmt, kann der Teil oder Teilbereich der Schutzvorrichtung, der aus einem Textilmaterial gebildet ist, den Ohr- oder Nackenbereich abschirmen oder abschatten. Insgesamt kann somit eine leichtere und angenehmer zu tragende Ausführungsform der Kopfbedeckung beziehungsweise der daran angeordneten Schutzvorrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt werden, da die verwendeten Materialien insgesamt leichter sind, aber ist nicht Teil der Erfindung.According to the invention, the protective device is formed of a flexible material. The flexible material is in the form of a film material. While a sheet material shields the face area of the user of the headgear, the portion or portion of the protector formed of a textile material may shield or shade the ear or neck area. Overall, therefore, a lighter and more comfortable to carry embodiment of the headgear or the protective device arranged thereon can be provided, since the materials used are lighter overall, but is not part of the invention.
Die Folie kann auch teilweise oder ganz als Photovoltaikelement ausgebildet sein und im Zusammenwirken mit einem geeigneten Regler - bzw. Ladesystem zur Stromgenerierung dienen. Auch umfasst ist die Integration von organischen Leuchtfolien (OLED) in der Schutzvorrichtung beziehungsweise den Folien.The film may also be partially or entirely formed as a photovoltaic element and serve in conjunction with a suitable controller - or charging system for power generation. Also included is the integration of organic light-emitting films (OLED) in the protective device or the films.
Selbstverständlich besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Teile oder Teilbereiche aus gleichen Materialien gebildet sind und eine Zwei- oder Mehrteiligkeit der Schutzvorrichtung lediglich dafür zur Verfügung gestellt wird, um Teile oder Teilbereiche von der Kopfbedeckung zu lösen und gegebenenfalls nicht zu verwenden.Of course, there is the possibility that the parts or portions are formed of the same materials and a two- or multi-part of the protection device is provided only for it to solve parts or portions of the headgear and possibly not to use.
Neben der Ausführung der Teile beziehungsweise Teilbereiche aus gleichen Materialien besteht selbstverständlich auch eine Möglichkeit, die Teile oder Teilbereiche aus verschiedenen Materialien zu bilden. Durch einen geeigneten Materialmix kann hier die Funktionalität und der Tragekomfort der Kopfbedeckung beziehungsweise Schutzvorrichtung wesentlich verbessert werden.In addition to the execution of the parts or sub-areas of the same materials, of course, there is also a possibility to form the parts or sub-areas of different materials. Through a suitable material mix, the functionality and wearing comfort of the headgear or protective device can be substantially improved.
Eine zwei- oder mehrteilige Ausführung der Schutzvorrichtung erlaubt es, dass, wie in einer erfindungsgemäß bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Kopfbedeckung vorgesehen, die Teile verschwenkbar, insbesondere gegeneinander verschwenkbar ausgebildet sind. Diese Ausgestaltung erlaubt es, dass, beispielsweise bei kurzzeitiger Nichtverwendung der Schutzvorrichtung, diese nach Art eines Visiers vom Gesicht des Trägers der Kopfbedeckung weggeschwenkt wird. Gleichzeitig besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass der Nackenbereich des Trägers durch Verschwenken des diesen schützenden Teiles oder Teilbereiches der Schutzvorrichtung verschwenkt wird, um hier die Bewegungsfreiheit, beispielsweise bei Tätigkeiten im Bücken oder mit gekrümmtem Rücken zu erhöhen, ohne das Risiko eines fehlenden Schutzes des Nackenbereiches in Kauf nehmen zu müssen.A two-part or multi-part design of the protective device makes it possible, as provided in a preferred embodiment of the headgear according to the invention, for the parts to be pivotable, in particular pivotable relative to one another. This configuration allows, for example, in the case of temporary non-use of the protective device, this is pivoted away in the manner of a visor from the face of the wearer of the headgear. At the same time, there is also the possibility that the neck region of the wearer is pivoted by pivoting the protective part or partial area of the protective device in order to increase the freedom of movement, for example during bending over or with a curved back, without the risk of missing protection of the neck area To have to buy.
Neben der verschwenkbaren Ausführung der Teile beziehungsweise Teilbereiche der Schutzvorrichtung besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass die Teile verschiebbar angeordnet oder vorgesehen sind. Hierbei gibt es ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, dass die Teile gegeneinander verschiebbar ausgebildet sind. Daneben können die Teile oder Teilbereiche auch in der Klemm-, Steck-, Schraub- oder Clips-Verbindung verschiebbar ausgebildet sein. Hierzu weisen diese beispielsweise Schienen oder sonstige Führungen auf, die mit entsprechenden, an den Teilen oder Teilbereichen der Schutzvorrichtung vorgesehenen Elementen in Eingriff stehen und die Verschiebbarkeit gewährleisten.In addition to the swiveling design of the parts respectively Subareas of the protective device is also the possibility that the parts are arranged or provided slidably. There is also the possibility that the parts are designed to be mutually displaceable. In addition, the parts or portions may also be designed to be displaceable in the clamping, plug-in, screw or clip connection. For this purpose, for example, they have rails or other guides which engage with corresponding elements provided on the parts or partial areas of the protective device and ensure the displaceability.
Die Schutzvorrichtung bietet nicht nur Schutz gegen Licht beziehungsweise schädliche Strahlung, wie UV-Strahlung in allen Wellenlängen, sondern ermöglicht es auch, auf einfache Art und Weise den Kopf des Verwenders der Kopfbedeckung gegen die Einwirkung durch Gegenstände, Splitter oder dergleichen, zu schützen. Hierfür weist die Schutzvorrichtung bevorzugt eine Verstärkung, beispielsweise insbesondere eine Verstrebung oder Armierung auf. Diese Weiterbildung der Schutzvorrichtung vermittelt dieser bevorzugt einen Splitter- oder Schlagschutz, so dass der Einsatzbereich der Schutzvorrichtung beziehungsweise einer mit der Schutzvorrichtung ausgestatteten Kopfbedeckung wesentlich erweitert wird. Neben einer Verstärkung oder Versteifung der Schutzvorrichtung besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass alternativ oder zusätzlich die Kopfbedeckung eine derartige Verstärkung oder Versteifung aufweist. Die Kopfbedeckung mit darin angeordneter Schutzvorrichtung kann somit beispielsweise einen herkömmlichen Fahrradhelm ersetzen oder bietet im Zusammenspiel mit der Splitter- oder Schlagschutz vermittelnden Schutzvorrichtung einen vollumfänglichen Schutz für die gesamte Kopfpartie des Trägers.The protection device not only provides protection against light or harmful radiation, such as UV radiation in all wavelengths, but also makes it possible to protect in a simple manner the head of the user of the headgear against the impact of objects, splinters or the like. For this purpose, the protective device preferably has a reinforcement, for example, in particular a bracing or reinforcement. This development of the protective device preferably conveys this to a splinter or impact protection, so that the area of application of the protective device or a headgear equipped with the protective device is substantially widened. In addition to a reinforcement or stiffening of the protective device, there is also the possibility that, alternatively or additionally, the head covering has such a reinforcement or stiffening. The headgear with protective device arranged therein can thus replace, for example, a conventional bicycle helmet or, in interaction with the splinter protection or impact protection device, provides full protection for the entire head part of the wearer.
Gleichfalls von erfinderischer Bedeutung ist eine Schutzvorrichtung, bei der es sich um eine UV-Schutzvorrichtung handelt, ohne hierauf beschränkt zu werden. Die Schutzvorrichtung dient zur Anordnung an einer Kopfbedeckung. Hierbei ist vorgesehen, dass die Schutzvorrichtung eine Kopfbedeckung in Umfangsrichtung insbesondere vollständig umschließt. Der Umfang der Kopfbedeckung wird dabei als der Bereich definiert, der auf dem Kopf des Trägers aufliegt und diesen im wesentlichen vollständig umgibt. Eine in Umfangsrichtung die Kopfbedeckung vollständig umschließende Schutzvorrichtung bedeckt somit sämtliche Teile des Gesichtes beziehungsweise Kopfes des Trägers unterhalb einer gedachten Auflagelinie der Kopfbedeckung auf dem Schädel.Also of inventive significance is a protection device which is a UV protection device without being limited thereto. The Protective device is for placement on a headgear. It is provided that the protective device encloses a head covering in the circumferential direction in particular completely. The extent of the headgear is defined as the area which rests on the head of the wearer and surrounds it substantially completely. A circumferentially completely enclosing the headgear thus protective device covers all parts of the face or head of the wearer below an imaginary support line of the headgear on the skull.
Die Schutzvorrichtung ist dabei insbesondere an einer Krempe, einem Schild oder einem insbesondere vorspringenden Rand der Kopfbedeckung anordenbar. Alternativ hierzu besteht selbstverständlich die Möglichkeit, dass die Schutzvorrichtung am Körper der Kopfbedeckung angebracht wird, sofern die Kopfbedeckung keine Krempe, kein Schild oder keinen zumindest teilweise vorspringenden Rand aufweist.The protective device can be arranged in particular on a brim, a shield or a particular projecting edge of the headgear. Alternatively, of course, there is the possibility that the protective device is attached to the body of the headgear, if the headgear has no brim, no shield or no at least partially projecting edge.
Um die Schutzvorrichtung an der Kopfbedeckung anzuordnen, ist bevorzugt ein Schutzvorrichtung und Kopfbedeckung verbindendes Verbindungsmittel vorgesehen, das insbesondere an der Krempe, dem Schild oder bevorzugt dem vorspringenden Rand der Kopfbedeckung festlegbar ist. Selbstverständlich besteht hier auch die Möglichkeit, dass das Verbindungsmittel direkt mit der Kopfbedeckung verbunden wird und dann die Anordnung der Schutzvorrichtung an dieser erlaubt. Das Verbindungsmittel ist bevorzugt als Klemm-, Steck-, Schraub-, Klebe-, Klett- oder Clips-Verbindung ausgebildet und umgreift die Krempe, das Schild oder den Rand der Kopfbedeckung zumindest teilweise. Eine derartige Klemm- oder Steck- beziehungsweise Clips-Verbindung ermöglicht ein nachträgliches Anordnen und Wiederabnehmen der Schutzvorrichtung von der Kopfbedeckung. Dies eröffnet die Möglichkeit, dass die Kopfbedeckung auch für andere Zwecke zur Verfügung steht, beispielsweise wenn keine überhöhte Sonneneinstrahlung zu erwarten ist. Die an der Kopfbedeckung, und hierbei insbesondere an deren Krempe, Schild oder vorspringendem Rand angeordnete Schutzvorrichtung hat den Vorteil, dass diese vom Kopfbeziehungsweise Gesichtsbereich des Trägers oder Verwenders der Schutzvorrichtung beabstandet angeordnet ist, somit keine direkte Einwirkung der Schutzvorrichtung auf den Kopfbereich des Trägers stattfindet, eine ausreichende Schutzwirkung jedoch dennoch gegeben ist. Neben dieser genannten Vorteile bietet die beabstandete Anordnung des Schutzmaterials gegenüber dem Gesicht beziehungsweise Kopf-, Ohren- oder Nackenbereich des Trägers auch den Vorteil, dass es hier zwischen Schutzvorrichtung und Kopf des Trägers zu einer Luftzirkulation kommen kann, die zusätzlich einen Kühleffekt bewirkt. Dieser Kühleffekt wird dadurch wesentlich verbessert, dass ein Großteil der Sonnenstrahlung oder Wärmestrahlung durch die Schutzvorrichtung blockiert wird und es somit nicht zu einer zu starken Erwärmung des Kopfbereichs des Trägers kommen kann. Dies hat neben dem Komfortaspekt auch einen gesundheitlichen Nutzen, da eine Überhitzung des insbesondere Kopfbereiches oftmals nachteilige Auswirkungen haben kann, die mit der erfindungsgemäßen Schutzvorrichtung sowie einer damit ausgestatteten Kopfbedeckung verhindert oder zumindest verringert werden können.In order to arrange the protective device on the headgear, a protective device and headgear connecting connecting means is preferably provided which can be fixed in particular to the brim, the shield or preferably the projecting edge of the headgear. Of course, there is also the possibility that the connecting means is connected directly to the headgear and then allows the arrangement of the protective device at this. The connecting means is preferably designed as a clamping, plug-in, screw, adhesive, Velcro or clips connection and surrounds the brim, the shield or the edge of the head covering at least partially. Such a clamping or plug or clip connection allows subsequent arrangement and removal of the protective device of the headgear. This opens up the possibility that the headgear is also available for other purposes, for example, if not excessive sunlight is to be expected. The protective device arranged on the headgear, and in particular on its brim, shield or projecting edge, has the advantage that it is arranged at a distance from the head or face region of the wearer or user of the protective device, so that no direct action of the protective device on the head region of the wearer takes place. However, a sufficient protective effect is still given. In addition to these advantages, the spaced arrangement of the protective material relative to the face or head, ear or neck region of the wearer also offers the advantage that air can circulate between the protection device and the head of the wearer, which additionally causes a cooling effect. This cooling effect is significantly improved by the fact that a large part of the solar radiation or heat radiation is blocked by the protection device and thus can not lead to excessive heating of the head area of the wearer. In addition to the comfort aspect, this also has a health benefit, since overheating of the head area, in particular, can often have adverse effects which can be prevented or at least reduced by the protective device according to the invention and a head covering equipped therewith.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Schutzvorrichtung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung sieht vor, dass diese eine zwei- oder mehrteilige Ausbildung aufweist. Die Teile der Schutzvorrichtung ergänzen sich dabei zur vollständigen Schutzvorrichtung, die den Kopf des Trägers beziehungsweise die die Schutzvorrichtung haltende Kopfbedeckung zumindest umfangsseitig vollständig umgibt. Die zwei- oder mehrteilige Ausbildung bietet auch den Vorteil, dass hier eine Kombination einzelner Elemente der Schutzvorrichtung wahlweise durch den Benutzer durchgeführt werden kann. So besteht beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, dass, wie in einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, wenigstens ein erster Teil der Schutzvorrichtung lichtundurchlässig ausgebildet ist, während einer oder mehrere weitere Teile der Schutzvorrichtung lichtdurchlässig sind. Aufgrund der zwei- oder mehrteiligen Ausbildung der Schutzvorrichtung kann im Bereich des Gesichtsfeldes beziehungsweise Sichtfeldes des Trägers ein durchsichtiger Teil angeordnet werden, während beispielsweise der Ohr- und Nackenbereich durch einen lichtundurchlässigen Teil der Schutzvorrichtung noch besser gegen Sonneneinstrahlung geschützt werden kann.A further preferred embodiment of the protective device according to the present invention provides that it has a two- or multi-part design. The parts of the protective device complement each other to the complete protection device that surrounds the head of the wearer or the headgear holding the protective device at least circumferentially completely. The two- or multi-part training also offers the advantage that here a combination of individual elements of the protection device can be performed either by the user. For example, there is the possibility that, as provided in a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least a first part of the protection device is formed opaque, while one or more further parts of the protective device are translucent. Due to the two- or multi-part design of the protective device, a transparent part can be arranged in the region of the visual field or field of view of the wearer while, for example, the ear and neck area can be better protected against direct sunlight by an opaque part of the protection device.
Die Schutzwirkung der Schutzvorrichtung wird dadurch wesentlich verbessert, dass zumindest teilweise ein UV-Filter in die Schutzvorrichtung integriert wird. Es kann sich hierbei um einen chemischen UV-Filter handeln, mit dem das Material der Schutzvorrichtung imprägniert ist und wodurch deren Lichtschutzfaktor erhöht wird. Daneben besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass durch eine entsprechende Beschichtung oder Vergütung, insbesondere der durchlässigen Teile der Schutzvorrichtung, deren UV-Blockierleistung erhöht wird.The protective effect of the protective device is substantially improved by at least partially integrating a UV filter into the protective device. It may be a chemical UV filter, with which the material of the protection device is impregnated and whereby its SPF is increased. In addition, there is also the possibility that their UV blocking performance is increased by a corresponding coating or coating, in particular the permeable parts of the protective device.
Eine als günstig angesehene Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die Teile lösbar fest miteinander verbunden sind. Diese Ausgestaltung bietet die Möglichkeit einer variablen Zusammenstellung der Schutzvorrichtung und des Austauschs einzelner Teile. So kann beispielsweise bei nachlassender Schutzwirkung oder zu Reinigungszwecken ein Teil der Schutzvorrichtung entnommen und durch ein neues und/oder gereinigtes Teil ersetzt werden.An embodiment regarded as favorable provides that the parts are detachably connected to each other. This embodiment offers the possibility of a variable composition of the protection device and the replacement of individual parts. Thus, for example, with decreasing protective effect or for cleaning purposes, part of the protective device can be removed and replaced by a new and / or cleaned part.
Mit Blick auf eine besonders einfache Austauschbarkeit oder Entnahme der einzelnen Teile wird es als günstig angesehen, wenn die Teile über eine Klemm-, Steck-, Knöpf-, Klebe-, Klett- oder Clips-Verbindung miteinander verbindbar ausgeführt sind. Daneben besteht selbstverständlich auch die Möglichkeit, dass ein Reiß- oder Klettverschluss vorgesehen wird, über den die Teile verbunden werden können.With a view to a particularly simple interchangeability or removal of the individual parts, it is considered favorable if the parts are designed to be connected to one another via a clamping, plug-in, button, adhesive, Velcro or clip connection. In addition, of course, there is also the possibility that a zip or Velcro closure is provided, via which the parts can be connected.
Bevorzugt weist die Schutzvorrichtung wenigstens einen Teil auf, der aus einem starren Material gebildet ist. Alternativ hierzu kann wenigstens ein Teil auch aus einem flexiblen Material gebildet werden. Bei diesem Material handelt es sich insbesondere um ein Folien- oder Textilmaterial. Als starres Material kann beispielsweise eine Kunststoffscheibe oder dergleichen verwendet werden. Der aus einem starren Material gebildete Teil vermittelt hierbei nicht nur einen Schutz gegenüber schädlichen Strahlen, sondern kann auch als Splitter- oder Schlagschutz verwendet werden. Sowohl das flexible als auch das starre Material kann dabei eine Krümmung oder Biegung aufweisen und somit die natürliche Kopfform nachzeichnen, was sich als besonders günstig auf den Tragekomfort der Schutzvorrichtung auswirkt, da diese weniger sperrig ausgeführt werden kann.Preferably, the protective device has at least one part which is formed from a rigid material. Alternatively, at least a part may be formed of a flexible material. This material is in particular a film or textile material. As a rigid material, for example, a plastic disc or the like can be used. The part formed of a rigid material not only provides protection against harmful rays, but can also be used as splinter or impact protection. Both the flexible and the rigid material can have a curvature or bending and thus trace the natural shape of the head, which has a particularly favorable effect on the comfort of the protective device, as it can be made less bulky.
Wird wenigstens ein Teil der Schutzvorrichtung aus einem flexiblen Material gebildet, so handelt sich hierbei um ein Folienmaterial. Durch geeignete Kombination von starrem und flexiblem Material besteht die Möglichkeit, eine für verschiedenste Anwendungszwecke geeignete Schutzvorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen. Diese weist neben einer erhöhten Schutzwirkung auch einen verbesserten Tragekomfort auf, aber ist nicht Teil der Erfindung. Je nach Auswahl des jeweiligen Materials beziehungsweise der jeweiligen Materialpaarungen besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die die Schutzvorrichtung bildenden Teile aus gleichen oder verschiedenen Materalien gebildet sind.If at least part of the protective device is formed from a flexible material, then this is a film material. By suitable combination of rigid and flexible material, it is possible to provide a protection device suitable for a very wide variety of applications. This has in addition to an increased protective effect on an improved comfort, but is not part of the invention. Depending on the selection of the respective material or the respective material pairings, it is possible that the parts forming the protective device are formed from the same or different materials.
Wird die Schutzvorrichtung aus zwei oder mehr Teilen gebildet, so wird es als günstig angesehen, wenn die Teile verschwenkbar, insbesondere gegeneinander verschwenkbar ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch kann dann die zuvor im Zusammenhang mit der Kopfbedeckung beschriebene Funktionalität erzielt werden, dass ein Teil der Schutzvorrichtung nach Art eines Visiers verschwenkt oder hochgeklappt werden kann, um das Gesichtsfeld des Trägers frei zu geben. Daneben kann, durch Verschwenkung des beispielsweise den Nackenbereich schützenden beziehungsweise abschirmenden Teils der Schutzvorrichtung eine verbesserte Anpassbarkeit der Schutzvorrichtung an die Gegebenheiten und Vorgaben seitens des Trägers angepasst werden. Besteht die Schutzvorrichtung aus mehr als zwei Teilen und sind beispielsweise gesonderte Teile zum Schutz der Ohren vorgesehen, so können diese Teile, um eine verbesserte Luftzirkulation unter der Schutzvorrichtung beziehungsweise Kopfbedeckung zu erzielen, diese Teile verschwenkt oder weggeklappt werden, um die Ohren frei zu geben.If the protective device is formed from two or more parts, then it is considered favorable if the parts are designed to be pivotable, in particular pivotable relative to one another. In this way, the functionality previously described in connection with the headgear can be achieved, that a part of the protective device pivots in the manner of a visor or can be folded up to release the wearer's field of vision. In addition, an improved adaptability of the protection device can be adapted to the conditions and requirements on the part of the wearer, by pivoting the part of the protection device protecting or shielding the neck region, for example. If the protective device consists of more than two parts and if, for example, separate parts are provided for the protection of the ears, then these parts can be pivoted or folded away to release the ears in order to achieve improved air circulation under the protective device or headgear.
Als günstig wird auch angesehen, wenn die Teile verschiebbar, insbesondere gegeneinander verschiebbar ausgebildet sind. Anstelle einer Verschwenkung erfolgt dann eine Verschiebung der Teile, um Bereiche des Kopfes frei zu geben. Als insbesondere vorteilhaft wird es in diesem Zusammenhang angesehen, wenn die Teile in der Klemm-, Steck-, Schraub-, Klebe-, Klett- oder Clips-Vorrichtung verschiebbar sind, das heißt, diese entsprechend ausgerüstet ist, zum Beispiel mit einer Führungsschiene, einer Führungsnut oder einer sonstigen Leiste, auf der die Teile verschoben werden können. An dieser können wiederum entsprechende Gleit- oder Haltemittel vorgesehen werden, die eine möglichst gleichmäßige und leicht zu realisierende Verschiebbarkeit zulassen.As low is also considered, if the parts are displaceable, in particular against each other slidably formed. Instead of pivoting is then a shift of the parts to give free areas of the head. As particularly advantageous it is considered in this context, if the parts in the clamping, plug, screw, adhesive, Velcro or clips device are displaced, that is, this is equipped accordingly, for example with a guide rail, a guide groove or other strip on which the parts can be moved. At this turn, appropriate sliding or holding means can be provided, which allow the most uniform and easy to implement displacement.
Die Schutzvorrichtung weist in einer als vorteilhaft angesehenen Ausführungsform wenigstens teilweise eine Verstärkung, insbesondere eine Verstrebung oder Armierung auf. Hierdurch wird der Schutzvorrichtung ein Splitter- oder Schlagschutz vermittelt, der deren Einsatzgebiet wesentlich erweitert. Neben dem zuvor mehrfach ausgeführten UV- oder Lichtschutz bietet die Schutzvorrichtung dann auch einen Schutz gegen Splitter oder dergleichen. Die Schutzvorrichtung kann, bei geeigneter Kombination von verstärkten Teilen und UV- beziehungsweise lichtblockierenden Teilen für weitere Einsatzzwecke zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Wird eine wie zuvor beschrieben ausgeführte Schutzvorrichtung mit einem schlag- oder splitterschützenden Teil oder Teilbereich beispielsweise an einem Helm angeordnet, so besteht hier die Möglichkeit, dass ein Schutz gegen Schlag- oder Splittereinwirkung mit einem UV- oder Lichtschutz kombiniert wird. Derartige Schutzvorrichtungen beziehungsweise Kopfbedeckungen, die mit diesen Schutzvorrichtungen versehen sind, eignen sich dann beispielsweise zum Einsatz im Bauwesen, im Forstbereich, im Feuerschutz, im Katastrophenschutz, bei der Minen- oder Sprengmittelräumung oder für jegliche sonstigen gefährdenden Tätigkeiten, bei denen neben dem Schutz gegen mechanische Einwirkkungen auch ein Licht- oder UV-Schutz notwendig und sinnvoll ist.The protective device has, in an embodiment considered advantageous, at least partially a reinforcement, in particular a bracing or reinforcement. As a result, the protection device a splinter or impact protection is taught, which significantly extends their application. In addition to the previously carried out multiple UV or light protection, the protection device then also provides protection against splinters or the like. The protective device can, with a suitable combination of reinforced parts and UV or light blocking Parts are made available for further use. If a protective device designed as described above with a shock-proof or fragment-protecting part or partial region is arranged, for example, on a helmet, there is the possibility here that protection against impact or splintering action is combined with UV or light protection. Such protective devices or headgear, which are provided with these protections are then suitable, for example, for use in construction, forestry, fire protection, civil protection, in the mine or explosive ordnance clearance or for any other hazardous activities, in addition to the protection against mechanical Impacts also a light or UV protection is necessary and useful.
