Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Visier für einen Schutzhelm, mit zwei Haltearmen und mit zwei an einer Helmschale eines Helms befestigbaren Lagervorrichtungen für die Haltearme zum Verschwenken des Visiers zwischen zwei Endlagen entsprechend einer Betriebsposition, in der das Visier heruntergeklappt und auf einem vorderen Rand der Helmschale aufliegt, und einer Parkposition, in der das Visier hochgeklappt und an der Außenfläche der Helmschale angeordnet ist, wobei das Visier wenigstens in einem Bereich, in dem es in wenigstens einer der Endlagen mit einer Helmschale in enge Nähe oder in Berührung bringbar ist, mit einer weichen Lippe versehen ist, die an dem Visier so ausgebildet und angeordnet ist, dass sie in der Betriebsposition des Visiers auf einen vorstehenden vorderen Rand der Helmschale auflegbar ist, und wobei wenigstens einer seiner Lagervorrichtungen eine federvorgespannte Endlagensperre zugeordnet ist, die den Haltearm in jeder Endlage kraftschlüssig verriegelt und bei manuellem Anstoßen der Schwenkbewegung des Visiers wenigstens aus der Parkposition heraus das Visier in Richtung zu der Betriebsposition beschleunigt, bis die Lippe mit der Helmschale in Berührung ist.The invention relates to a visor for a protective helmet, with two retaining arms and two attachable to a helmet shell of a helmet bearing devices for the support arms for pivoting the visor between two end positions corresponding to an operating position in which the visor folded down and rests on a front edge of the helmet shell, and a parking position in which the visor is folded up and disposed on the outer surface of the helmet shell, wherein the visor with a soft lip, at least in a region in which it is in close proximity or in contact with a helmet shell in at least one of the end positions is provided, which is formed on the visor and arranged so that it can be placed in the operating position of the visor on a protruding front edge of the helmet shell, and wherein at least one of its bearing devices is associated with a spring-biased Endlagensperre which locks the arm in each end position frictionally and at ma at least from the parking position, the visor accelerates toward the operating position until the lip is in contact with the helmet shell.

Ein Helm der vorgenannten Art ist aus dem Dokument US 4,766,609 bekannt. Bei diesem bekantnen Helm ist wenigstens einer der Lagervorrichtungen des Visiers eine federvorgespannte Endlagensperre zugeordnet, die den Haltearm in jeder Endlage kraftschlüssig verriegelt und bei manuellem Anstoßen der Schwenkbewegung des Visiers aus der Parkposition heraus das Visier in Richtung zu der Betriebsposition beschleunigt, bis die Lippe mit der Helmschale in Berührung ist.A helmet of the aforementioned type is from the document US 4,766,609 known. In this bekantnen helmet at least one of the bearing devices of the visor is associated with a spring-biased Endlageensperre which locks the holding arm frictionally in each end position and accelerates the visor towards the operating position with manual abutment of the pivoting movement of the visor from the parking position until the lip with the Helmet shell is in contact.

Es ist zwar ein ähnlicher Helm aus dem Dokument US 2011/0016595 A1 bekannt. Dieser bekannte Helm weist aber keinen vorstehenden vorderen Rand auf, auf den sich das Visier auflegen könnte. Außerdem ist das Visier in der oberen Position oder Parkposition zu weit von der Helmschale entfernt, so dass die Dichtung die Außenfläche der Helmschale nicht berührt. Es ist zwar auch bei diesem bekannten Helm eine Feder vorgesehen, diese Feder dient aber offenbar nicht auch zum Vorspannen von zwei Endlagen.It is indeed a similar helmet from the document US 2011/0016595 A1 known. However, this known helmet has no protruding front edge on which the visor could hang. In addition, the visor in the upper position or parking position is too far away from the helmet shell, so that the seal does not touch the outer surface of the helmet shell. Although it is also provided in this known helmet a spring, but this spring is not apparently also for biasing two end positions.

Ein ähnlicher Helm, der aus dem Dokument EP 1 841 338 B1 bekannt ist, wird bevorzugt als ein Polizeihelm eingesetzt. Wenn das Visier dieses Helms in die Parkposition hochgeklappt ist, besteht zwischen dem Visier und der Helmaußenseite ein beträchtlicher Abstand. Ein solcher Helm hätte bei seinem Einsatz im Forstbereich den Nachteil, dass sich zwischen Visier und Helm Äste einhaken könnten, die dem Benutzer den Helm vom Kopf reißen.A similar helmet from the document EP 1 841 338 B1 is known, is preferably used as a police helmet. When the visor of this helmet is folded up to the parking position, there is a considerable distance between the visor and the helmet outside. When used in the forestry sector, such a helmet would have the disadvantage that branches could catch between the visor and the helmet, causing the user to tear off the helmet.

Das gleiche Problem dürfte bei Schutzhelmen auftreten, wie sie aus den Dokumenten DE 94 10 596 U1 und DE 29 70 834 U1 bekannt sind, obgleich sie ausdrücklich für Wald- beziehungweise Forstarbeiter geeignet sein sollen. Auch bei diesen bekannten Helmen ergibt sich in der Parkposition des Visiers ein größerer Abstand zwischen dem Visier und der Außenfläche der Helmschale, der ermöglicht, dass sich Äste an dem Helm verhaken können.The same problem is likely to occur with protective helmets, as they are from the documents DE 94 10 596 U1 and DE 29 70 834 U1 although they should be expressly suitable for forestry relations forestry workers. Even with these known helmets results in the parking position of the visor, a greater distance between the visor and the outer surface of the helmet shell, which allows that branches can get caught on the helmet.

Ein noch größeres Problem dürfte bei einem Schutzhelm bei dessen Einsatz im Forstbereich auftreten, der aus dem Dokument DE 29 07 054 A1 bekannt ist. Hier nimmt das Visier eine Parkposition ein, in der es einen besonders großen Abstand von einem schutzschirmartigen vorderen Rand des Helms und von der Außenseite des Helms an einer in Bezug auf den Rand weiter oben gelegenen Stelle desselben aufweist, so dass sich Äste nicht nur zwischen Visier und Außenseite der Helmschale verhaken können, sondern auch an dem Visier selbst.An even greater problem is likely to occur in a protective helmet when it is used in the forestry sector, from the document DE 29 07 054 A1 is known. Here, the visor occupies a parking position in which it has a particularly large distance from a shield-like front edge of the helmet and from the outside of the helmet at a location of the same with respect to the edge of the same, so that branches not only between visor and the outside of the helmet shell can catch, but also on the visor itself.

Zur Vermeidung solcher Probleme ist es bei einem Visier, das dem Visier der eingangs genannten Art ähnelt, aus dem Dokument DE 10 2010 027 015 A1 bekannt, jede Lagervorrichtung zur Anbringung innen an der Helmschale auszubilden, wobei sich jeder Haltearm von dem Visier aus zu seinem an die Lagervorrichtung angeschlossenen freien Ende hin im Wesentlichen parallel zu und mit derartigem Abstand von dem Visier erstreckt, so dass zwischen Haltearm und Visier ein Schlitz gebildet ist, durch den sich in der Parkposition die Helmschale erstreckt. Außerdem ist das Visier in der Parkposition eng anliegend auf der Außenfläche der Helmschale angeordnet. Das Visier wird durch die Haltearme so geführt, dass es in der Betriebsposition mit seinem oberen Rand kaum Abstand von der Außenseite des Helms hat. Hindernissen bieten sich daher an diesem Visier keine Einhakmöglichkeiten. Bei diesem bekannten Visier ist den Lagervorrichtungen jeweils ein federvorgespanntes Sperrelement zugeordnet, durch das das Visier in der Betriebsposition und in der Parkposition lösbar kraftschlüssig festgehalten wird. Wenn das Visier von Hand in Bewegung gesetzt wird, bewirkt die Federvorspannung des Sperrelements, das sich das Visier schließlich allein und mit zunehmender Beschleunigung in die eine oder andere Endposition bewegt. Wenn dann das Visier oder ein Rahmen des Visiers in der Endlage auf den Helm aufprallt, kann das Visier zurückprellen und in einer Position zur Ruhe kommen, in der es sich nicht genau um die angestrebte Endlage handelt. Ferner ist das Aufprallen auf die Helmschale in der Endlage stets mit einer Geräuschbildung verbunden, die üblicherweise als lästig empfunden wird.To avoid such problems, it is in a visor, which is similar to the visor of the type mentioned, from the document DE 10 2010 027 015 A1 known to form each mounting device for mounting inside of the helmet shell, each support arm extending from the visor to its connected to the bearing device free end substantially parallel to and at such a distance from the visor, so that between the arm and visor a slot is formed, through which extends in the park position, the helmet shell. In addition, the visor is arranged in the park position close fitting on the outer surface of the helmet shell. The visor is guided by the support arms so that it has in the operating position with its upper edge barely spaced from the outside of the helmet. Obstacles therefore offer no hooking possibilities on this visor. In this known visor, the bearing devices are each assigned a spring-biased locking element, by means of which the visor is held releasably non-positively in the operating position and in the parking position. When the visor of Hand is set in motion, causes the spring bias of the locking element that moves the visor finally alone and with increasing acceleration in one or the other end position. Then, when the visor or a frame of the visor strikes the helmet in the end position, the visor may bounce back and come to rest in a position that is not exactly the desired end position. Furthermore, the impact on the helmet shell in the end position is always associated with a noise, which is usually perceived as annoying.

Aus der DE 10 2009 012 450 A1 ist ein Helm mit einem Visier bekannt, wobei das Visier mit einer Dichtlippe ausgestattet ist, die in der Betriebsposition des Visiers an der Helmschale anliegt.From the DE 10 2009 012 450 A1 is a helmet with a visor known, the visor is equipped with a sealing lip, which abuts in the operating position of the visor on the helmet shell.

Die DE 36 07 483 A1 beschreibt einen Schutzhelm mit einem Klappteil und einem an dem Klappteil befestigtem Visier. Das Klappteil wirkt in der Betriebsposition mit dem Helm abdichtend zusammen. Das Visier wirkt in der Betriebsposition mit dem Klappteil abdichtend zusammen.The DE 36 07 483 A1 describes a protective helmet with a flap part and a visor attached to the flap part. The folding part acts sealingly together in the operating position with the helmet. The visor acts sealingly together in the operating position with the folding part.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Visier der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, dass es seine beiden Endlagen sicher und im Wesentlichen geräuschlos einnehmen kann.The object of the invention is to provide a visor of the type mentioned in such a way that it can assume its two end positions safely and essentially noiselessly.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Lippe weiter an dem Visier so ausgebildet und angeordnet ist, dass sie in der Parkposition an der Außenfläche der Helmschale in Anlage bringbar ist, und dass das Visier bei manuellem Anstoßen der Schwenkbewegung des Visiers aus der Betriebsposition heraus in Richtung zu der Parkposition beschleunigt, bis die Lippe im Wesentlichen ohne Rückprall an der Außenfläche der Helmschale in Anlage ist.This object is inventively achieved in that the lip is further formed on the visor and arranged so that it can be brought into the parking position on the outer surface of the helmet shell into contact, and that the visor with manual abutment of the pivoting movement of the visor from the operating position accelerated toward the parking position until the lip is in abutment with the outer surface of the helmet shell substantially without rebound.

Wenn bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Visier dessen weiche, elastische Lippe in der der Parkposition entsprechenden Endlage auf die Außenseite der Helmschale auftrifft, dämpft die Lippe des Visiers den Bewegungsimpuls, so dass ein Rückprallen im Wesentlichen verhindert und das bei Auftreffen auf die Helmschale entstehende Geräusch wesentlich gedämpft wird. Die gleiche Wirkung entfaltet die Lippe des erfindungsgemäßen Visiers, wenn dieses in der der Betriebsposition entsprechenden Endlage von oben her auf den vorstehenden vorderen Rand der Helmschale auftrifft, wobei die Dichtlippe in dieser Position noch zusätzlich eine Abdichtung zwischen Visier und Helmschale bewirkt, so dass Regentropfen, die an der Außenseite der Helmschale herunterlaufen, über das Visier zur Seite nach außen ablaufen, also nicht in das Gesichtsfeld der den Helm tragenden Person geraten. Die gleiche Dichtwirkung entfaltet die Lippe des Visiers in der der Parkposition entsprechenden Endlage. In der Parkposition bildet im Übrigen eine Sichtscheibe oder ein Gitternetz in dem Rahmen des Visiers einen Regenschutz, der Regentropfen nicht unmittelbar in das Gesichtsfeld gelangen lässt.When in the visor according to the invention whose soft, elastic lip in the parking position corresponding end position impinges on the outside of the helmet shell, dampens the lip of the visor, the movement impulse, so that a rebound substantially prevented and the sound resulting from hitting the helmet shell is significantly attenuated , The same effect unfolds the lip of the visor according to the invention, when this hits in the operating position corresponding end position from above on the protruding front edge of the helmet shell, the sealing lip in this position still additionally causes a seal between visor and helmet shell, so that raindrops, which run down the outside of the helmet shell, over the visor run out to the side, so do not fall into the visual field of the person wearing the helmet. The same sealing effect unfolds the lip of the visor in the parking position corresponding end position. Incidentally, in the parking position, a viewing window or a grid in the frame of the visor forms a rain cover that does not allow raindrops to penetrate directly into the visual field.

Die Lippe des Visiers nach der Erfindung ist eine weiche Komponente, im Gegensatz zu der harten Komponente, die durch die Sichtscheibe oder den Rahmen des Visiers gebildet wird. Die weiche Komponente ist elastisch ist und verhindert ein Zurückprallen der harten Komponente aus der angestrebten Endlage. Bei einem Schutzhelm, bei dem das Visier auf Grund einer in der Lagervorrichtung erzeugten Federvorspannung frei aus der einen in die andere Endlage schwingt, sobald diese Bewegung von Hand eingeleitet worden ist, federt die weiche Lippe den Schließimpuls ab. Das ist insbesondere für ein Visier bei einem Schutzhelm bedeutsam, wo das Visier in beiden Endlagen und in dem Bereich zwischen den beiden Endlagen stets einen minimalen Abstand von der Außenseite der Helmschale aufweist.The lip of the visor according to the invention is a soft component, in contrast to the hard component formed by the visor or the frame of the visor. The soft component is elastic and prevents rebounding of the hard component from the desired end position. In a protective helmet in which the visor freely oscillates from one to the other end position due to a spring preload generated in the bearing device, as soon as this movement has been initiated by hand, the soft lip absorbs the closing pulse. This is particularly important for a visor in a protective helmet, where the visor always has a minimum distance from the outside of the helmet shell in both end positions and in the area between the two end positions.

Die Lippe ist an dem Visier so ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass sie in der Betriebsposition des Visiers auf einen vorstehenden vorderen Rand der Helmschale auflegbar ist. Das gewährleistet nicht nur eine gute Dämpfung während des Einnehmens der der Betriebsposition entsprechenden Endlage, sondern auch eine besonders gute Abdichtung zwischen dem Visier und der Helmschale in dieser Endlage. Weil erfindungsgemäß die Lippe weiter an dem Visier so ausgebildet und angeordnet ist, dass sie in der Parkposition an der Außenfläche der Helmschale in Anlage bringbar ist, wird durch diese enge Anlage sowohl die Dämpfungs- als auch die Dichtfunktion der Lippe unterstützt und gewährleistet, dass das Visier jede der beiden angestrebten Endlagen nicht nur einnimmt, sondern dann auch beibehält.The lip is formed on the visor and arranged so that it can be placed in the operating position of the visor on a protruding front edge of the helmet shell. This not only ensures good damping during the adoption of the operating position corresponding end position, but also a particularly good seal between the visor and the helmet shell in this end position. Because according to the invention the lip is further formed and arranged on the visor so that it can be brought into abutment in the parking position on the outer surface of the helmet shell, this close system supports both the damping and the sealing function of the lip and ensures that Visor not only occupies each of the two desired end positions, but then also retains.

Weiter ist bei dem Visier nach der Erfindung wenigstens einer seiner Lagervorrichtungen eine federvorgespannte Endlagensperre zugeordnet, die den Tragarm in jeder Endlage kraftschlüssig verriegelt und bei manuellem Anstoßen der Schwenkbewegung des Visiers aus einer Endlage heraus das Visier in Richtung zu der anderen Endlage beschleunigt, bis die Lippe im Wesentlichen ohne Rückprall mit der Helmschale in Berührung ist. Diese an sich bekannte Endlagensperre und das an sich bekannte Beschleunigen durch die Endlagensperre bei der Schwenkbewegung zwischen den beiden Endlagen werden erfindungsgemäß durch die Dämpfungs- und Dichtfunktion der Lippe ergänzt, die das Einnehmen und Beibehalten jeder Endlage erleichtert.Further, in the visor according to the invention, at least one of its bearing devices associated with a spring-biased Endlagensperre, which locks the arm in each end position positively and accelerated at manual abutment of the pivoting movement of the visor from one end position out the visor toward the other end position until the lip is in contact with the helmet shell substantially without rebound. This per se known Endlagensperre and the known per se acceleration by the Endlagensperre in the pivotal movement between the two end positions are according to the invention complemented by the lip's cushioning and sealing function, which makes it easier to take and maintain each end position.

Bevorzugt besteht die Lippe 30 aus Gummi, TPU oder TPE.The lip 30 is made of a soft elastic material that is both shock absorbing and sealing. The material of the lip 30 is rubber, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethanes), TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) silicone rubber, PVC and the like selectable. Preferably, the lip 30 is made of rubber, TPU or TPE.

Die Lippe 30 ist bei dem hier gezeigten und beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel an dem Rahmen 22 des Visiers form- und stoffschlüssig befestigt. Sie könnte stattdessen an dem Rahmen 22 auch lediglich kraftschlüssig befestigt sein. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Rahmen 22 mit einem vorstehenden Steg 23 versehen, welcher in eine komplementäre Nut einfasst, die in der Lippe 30 gebildet ist. Zusätzlich kann die Lippe 30 mit dem Rahmen 22 verklebt oder verschweißt werden. Bevorzugt wird die Lippe 30 an dem Rahmen 22, mit welchem das Metallgitter 24 umspritzt wird oder umspritzt worden ist, angespritzt.The lip 30 is in the embodiment shown and described here on the frame 22 of the visor positively and materially secured. You could instead be attached to the frame 22 only non-positively. For this purpose, the frame 22 is provided with a projecting web 23 which engages in a complementary groove formed in the lip 30. In addition, the lip 30 may be glued or welded to the frame 22. Preferably, the lip 30 is molded onto the frame 22, with which the metal mesh 24 is extrusion-coated or overmolded.

Durch die Kombination des Visiers 12 mit einem Schutzhelm wie dem Schutzhelm 10, der vorn mit dem vorstehenden vorderen Rand 19 versehen ist, kann das Visier 12 seine Wirkung entfalten und seine Dämpfungs- und Dichtfunktion erfüllen.By combining the visor 12 with a protective helmet such as the protective helmet 10, which is provided at the front with the protruding front edge 19, the visor 12 can be effective and fulfill its damping and sealing function.
