Definitions
- the invention relates to a bicycle helmet with a shell and a visor, wherein the shell between an outer side and an inner side has a curved receiving gap in which the visor is movably received and is movable between an open position and a closed position.
- the visor comprises a protective section and a holding section, which has an operating element on an upper side.
- the shell has on its outer side a control slot extending in the radial direction (relative to the curvature of the receiving gap) up to the receiving gap of the shell, wherein the operating element of the visor engages in the control slot and thereby accessible from the outside of the shell, to put the visor between the open position and the closed position.
- the protective portion of the visor is transparent and serves in the closed position of the visor to protect the eyes of the wearer of the bicycle helmet, for example, against wind, rainfall, dirt particles or insects.
- the visor may additionally be tinged with tint or be provided with another filter device to serve as protection against sunlight. If the user of the bicycle helmet does not need the visor or not desired (eg during transport or storage of the bicycle helmet), the visor can be moved by means of the control element in the open position, in which the protective portion of the visor at least partially offset in the receiving gap of the helmet shell is. For some users, it may be desirable to be able to replace the visor, for example, to use either a visor with or without sunscreen or to replace a damaged visor.
- a generic bicycle helmet is known for example from the publications EP 2 548 462 A1 and EP 2 689 680 A2.
- the bicycle helmet described in these documents comprises a replaceable visor, wherein the replacement of the visor, the operating element of the visor must first be solved by the visor in order to remove the visor completely from the helmet can. After inserting the same or a new visor, the control element must be re-attached to the visor. This is perceived by some users as difficult, since attachment means of the visor, on which the control element is mounted in the mounted state, are not clearly visible through the control slot.
- This object is achieved by a bicycle helmet having the features of claim 1, and in particular by the fact that the shell has on its inside a guide slot which extends to the receiving gap formed between the inside and the outside. Further, the guide slot extends to a front edge of the tray and is opened there (i.e., at the front edge of the tray).
- the guide slot extends from the inside of the helmet shell to the receiving gap (in particular in the radial direction relative to the curvature of the receiving gap or the helmet shell). Furthermore, the guide slot extends up to the front edge of the helmet shell (in particular in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle helmet), wherein the guide slot and the operating slot of the helmet shell can extend in particular along a common longitudinal direction of the bicycle helmet. However, the guide slot can be made wider than the control slot. At least in the front-side section of the guide slot, ie at least in the region of the front-side edge of the helmet shell, the width of the guide slot preferably corresponds at least to the width of the holding section of the visor.
- the holding portion of the visor in the guide slot can be inserted or inserted (in particular in the radial direction relative to the curvature of the helmet shell), and starting from this position, the provided on the holding portion of the visor operating element can be inserted into the control slot ,
- the operating element is preferably moved in the direction of the outer side of the helmet shell, wherein at the same time a movement of the holding portion of the visor in the longitudinal direction (i.e., along the receiving gap) may be provided.
- the holding section of the visor for the insertion of the holding section of the visor into the receiving gap or for the insertion of the operating element into the operating slot, the holding section of the visor, the operating element itself and / or a part of the helmet shell is temporarily slightly elastically bent.
- the visor can also be guided solely by means of the guide slot, as will be explained in more detail.
- a bicycle helmet in particular also the bicycle helmet according to the invention, has a concavely curved inner side and a convexly curved outer side
- the terms “outside” and “inside” in the context of the invention thus refer to the correspondingly curved surfaces.
- Location and direction information used in connection with the invention generally relate to the intended arrangement of the bicycle helmet on or on the head of a user.
- the term “front side” refers to the side of the bicycle helmet located in the forehead area of the user and thus facing the user
- the term “rear side” refers to the user in the occiput and neck area of the user and thus facing the user's line of sight Side of the bicycle helmet.
- the “longitudinal direction” is to be understood as the direction that extends between the front and the back of the bicycle helmet.
- the open position of the visor corresponds to an "up position” in which the holding portion of the visor is complete and the protection portion is predominantly or completely received in the receiving gap of the shell.
- the closed position of the visor corresponds to a "down position” in which the holding portion is predominantly or completely received in the receiving gap of the shell and the protective portion but is predominantly or completely moved out of the receiving gap of the shell.
- the visor may preferably be curved in accordance with a curvature of the receiving gap, so that it can be easily absorbed in this.
- the holding portion of the visor is preferably elongated and extends away from the protective portion, in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle helmet. The operating element of the visor protrudes from the top of the holding section.
- the protective portion of the visor is transparent, so that it can act as a substantially transparent safety glasses for the user of the bicycle helmet.
- weather-related precipitation such as raindrops or snow crystals be kept away from the eyes of the helmet user, so that his eyesight and concentration is impaired as little as possible even in bad weather.
- the protective portion of the visor may also have properties of conventional sunglasses, such as a tint.
- UV light-absorbing and / or light-reflecting means may also be provided on the protective section.
- different visors may be provided for the helmet.
- the simple interchangeability of the visor desired according to the invention provides a particular advantage for the user since the visor can be exchanged quickly and easily, for example, depending on the current weather conditions.
- the shell of the helmet may comprise a calotte of a shock absorbing material, e.g. from an expanded polystyrene hard foam (EPS).
- the shell may further comprise an outer shell of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polycarbonate (PC) or an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). Both on the outer shell and on the dome ventilation openings may be provided, which are preferably aligned to ensure a particularly effective ventilation of a bicycle helmet enclosed head portion of the user.
- the guide slot overlaps at least partially with the outside control slot.
- the at least partially overlapping of the inside guide slot with the outside operating slot of the helmet shell is to be understood so that the guide slot is at least partially disposed in alignment with the control slot.
- In the area of Intersecting guide slot and control slot is preferably formed a through opening between the inside and the outside of the shell. In the region of this opening, the control element provided on the holding section of the visor for simply attaching the visor to the helmet shell can simply be inserted into the operating slot starting from the inside of the bicycle helmet (in particular in the closed position of the visor).
- such overlapping is not absolutely necessary, especially if the operating element is elastically compressible, as will be explained below.
- the guide slot and the operating slot of the shell overlap along their respective longitudinal direction by a distance which corresponds at least to the length of the operating element of the visor.
- the control element can thereby be easily inserted from the inside of the bicycle helmet into the front-side section of the control slot.
- the guide slot of the tray is widened in a front-side section relative to a rear-side section, wherein the width of the guide slot in the front-side section corresponds at least to the width of the holding section of the visor, and wherein the width of the guide slot is smaller in the rear-side section as the width of the holding section.
- the area of intersection of the guide slot and the control slot is in the front portion of the guide slot which is widened.
- the visor can thus be introduced along the enlarged portion with the holding portion in the receiving gap.
- lateral boundaries of the guide slot can embrace the holding section, whereby a good guidance of the holding section is ensured and the displaceability of the visor along the longitudinal direction is defined.
- the bicycle helmet further comprises a closure element, which is releasably attachable to the inside of the shell in the region of the front edge of the shell to close the guide slot.
- the closing element can be attached to the front edge of the helmet shell to close the front edge of the helmet shell close and thereby lock the visor against unintentional release from the receiving gap of the helmet shell.
- the procedure is reversed, ie first the closure element is removed from the front edge of the shell, then the operating element of the visor is displaced inwards and thus out of the outside control slot, and finally the visor forward are completely pulled out of the receiving gap of the helmet shell.
- the closure element for the guide slot and the recess required for this purpose are provided on the inside of the helmet shell, the shell is sufficiently stable.
- the closure element is non-positively and / or positively inserted into the guide slot of the shell.
- the inserted closure element can be held in position by, for example, a press fit or a snap fit.
- additional fixing elements between the closure element and the shell may be provided (eg at least one screw, at least one pair of Velcro connection elements or a displaceable latch).
- the closure element may be formed of a flexible material.
- the closure element can be formed from an elastic (ie spring-back) material. This is particularly advantageous when the closing element is held by clamping fit in the guide slot of the shell. If a latching mechanism is provided for fastening the closure element, the assembly of the closure element is simplified or at least made more pleasant by the flexible material, since relatively small forces must be expended for latching and unlatching of the closure element.
- the holding portion of the visor on its underside a stop element which engages in the guide slot of the shell, wherein the stop element in the closed position of the visor rests against the closure element.
- the stop element thus interacts with the closure element in such a way that the closure element defines an end stop for the visor, wherein the stop element of the visor strikes the end stop when the visor reaches the closed position.
- the visor can be guided by means of the stop element engaging in the guide slot.
- the stop element is preferably integrally formed on the holding portion of the visor or permanently attached.
- Such a stop element of the visor is particularly advantageous in connection with one of the embodiments of the closure element explained below in order to define a variable end stop and thus a user-adjustable position of the visor in the closed position.
- the closure element is selectively attachable to the shell in at least a first orientation or in a second orientation, wherein the closure element defines a different length of the guide slot in the first orientation than in the second orientation.
- the closure element can be rotated by 180 ° with respect to the first orientation (for two different orientations) or rotated by 90 ° (for up to four different orientations) into the guide slot.
- the closed position of the visor to the eye or Nasenphysiognomie the helmet user be adjusted so that the protective portion of the visor in the closed position completely covers the area of the eyes of the helmet user in the longitudinal direction, but not on the Nose of the helmet user is seated.
- a sitting of the protection section on the bridge of the nose is to be avoided in particular due to pitching movements of the bicycle helmet occurring during the journey, since these can lead to a painful strain on the nose skin.
- complete coverage of the eye area is desirable so that the protection section can effectively protect the eyes of the helmet user.
- the closure element on at least one end face has a recess which defines a greater length of the guide slot than another end side of the closure element (in particular as an end face which lies opposite the first-mentioned end side).
- the recess may for example be formed as a rechteckformige recess on an end face of the closure element, in which engages the abovementioned stop element of the visor in the closed position of the visor. Due to the lateral boundaries of the recess, the stop element and thus the visor in the closed position is held particularly well in position, whereby disturbing wobbling movements of the visor, for example during a bicycle ride on an uneven road surface, avoided.
- the width of the recess may be formed slightly smaller than the width of the stop element. This ensures that in the recess engaging stop element is held by a press fit in the recess (closed position) and is offset only by manual operation of the operating element of the visor from the closed position in the direction of the open position. In addition, when moving the visor from the open position to the closed position for producing the clamping seat, a slightly increased effort is required, which signals the user of the bicycle helmet in a pleasant way reaching the closed position, without the visor abruptly abuts the stop element against the closure element.
- the use of a flexible material for the closure element may favor the expression of the aforementioned features.
- the closure element has at least one predetermined breaking point or desired interface which is adapted, by breaking or cutting off a predefined part of the closure element optionally to provide an additional or enlarged recess on the closure element to the length of the guide slot for the above-explained To enlarge stop element.
- the bicycle helmet user can easily increase the length of the guide slot in such a way that the closed position of the visor is adapted to his individual needs.
- the closure element can optionally be fastened to the shell in at least one first longitudinal position or in a second longitudinal position, wherein the closure element in the first longitudinal position has a different length Guide slot defined as in the second longitudinal position.
- the closure element can thus be fastened to the helmet shell in at least two different longitudinal positions.
- Another alternative is to provide the bicycle helmet user with a set of multiple fasteners, each fastener defining a different position of the end stop for the fastener.
- the recess acting as a return for the stop element may have a different length at the respective closure element.
- the shell comprises a calotte and an insert part.
- the dome has on its inside an exemption, the insert is inserted into the dome and permanently attached to the dome. In the insert part of the guide slot is formed.
- the receiving gap is formed between the dome and the insert.
- the use of a separate insert simplifies the manufacture of the helmet, since in particular the receiving gap is formed in a simple manner by a spacing of the insert used in the exemption insert of the calotte.
- the dome and the insert part can both be formed from a shock-absorbing material, in particular from the same material.
- the operating element may be elastically compressible, for example by being made of foam or as a spring portion.
- This feature makes it possible in particular to dispense with the explained overlapping of the guide slot with the operating slot, since during the insertion of the visor (with the holding section) into the receiving slot, the operating element is compressed until reaching the operating slot. Upon reaching the control slot, the control automatically engages in this by the control element unfolds. The compression takes place essentially in the radial direction (relative to the curvature of the receiving gap) through the radial boundaries of the receiving gap. For a removal of the visor from the receiving gap, however, the operating element from the outside (through the Control slot through) compressed. In this embodiment, a closure element can even be completely dispensed with, since the front boundary of the control slot defines an end stop for the visor against which the operating element abuts, and since the visor thus does not accidentally fall out of the receiving gap.
- the operating element is integrally formed on the holding portion of the visor or permanently attached, whereby an unwanted release of the operating element is avoided by the holding portion of the visor.
