Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a movable face shield for a ballistic protective helmet.
  • Ballistic protective helmets to protect the wearer's head have been known in the art for a long time. These serve to protect against direct force, e.g. fire from firearms or indirectly, among other things, through the impact on the wearer's head from splinters and from the impact of cutting and stabbing weapons.
  • this type of helmet is worn by special forces and increasingly also by patrol officers who arrive at the scene first (so-called "first responders") with the aim of protecting the wearer's self.
  • the protective effect of such a helmet is achieved by stopping an impacting projectile (or splinter) and thus preventing penetration of the helmet into the wearer's head.
  • the kinetic energy of the impacting parts should be minimized in order to protect the wearer from lethal effects.
  • Typical materials from which the helmet cap of a ballistic protective helmet is made are titanium, aramid or polyethylene.
  • a visor which can be set up permanently in front of the face as well as being able to be folded up and down.
  • the forehead shield is attached to the helmet cap using a Velcro application, see e.g EP 3 520 641 A1 .
  • This method of attachment means that the shield can be detachably attached to the helmet cap in order to be able to supplement the protective effect of the ballistic helmet depending on the situation (if necessary in conjunction with a visor).
  • Situational circumstances include, for example, an expected fire from a long weapon or other frontal impacts that the bearer of the shield can address more directly. If the threat situation is classified as lower, the shield can be removed to reduce the weight of the helmet and thus increase the wearing comfort for the wearer.
  • the use of an additional shield regularly leads to disadvantages if the helmet is to be used together with a forehead shield and a visor. Due to the spatial expansion of the front shield, it is no longer possible to open a conventional visor (e.g. by folding it up), as this is prevented by the spatial expansion of the front shield. This problem can be avoided by designing the visor in such a way that it is able to slide over the front shield. Due to the weight of the visor and the now extended lever arm, the torque acting on the helmet increases, which leads to a reduction in wearing comfort.
  • ITUB20160865 also discloses a face shield for a ballistic protective helmet.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving the design of the end shields known from the prior art in such a way that they can also be used in combination with a visor, without the impairments in wearing comfort known from the prior art and without impairing or endangering the safety of the police or emergency services through the way it is set up.
  • a front shield for a ballistic protective helmet which is set up to move with the visor when a visor of the protective helmet is opened and closed.
  • the forehead shield is attached to the helmet in such a way that a visor can be moved together with the forehead shield.
  • the forehead shield can basically be attached to the helmet in a displaceable manner. This offers the advantage that a conventional visor can be used in this way, which therefore offers the already known wearing comfort. There is no need for a visor that slides over the front shield.
  • a complex conversion of the helmet is no longer necessary depending on the situation, since the desired functionality of opening and closing (or folding up and down) of the visor is also possible when used together with the forehead shield.
  • the present disclosure describes several alternative ways in which the faceplate can be slidably attached to a protective helmet.
  • the term “displaceable” does not exclude that the front shield or part of it also rotates in addition to a movement relative to the surface of a helmet cap when the front shield or part of it is moved through a visor of the protective helmet.
  • the forehead shield or part of it can be lifted off the helmet surface at the lower edge while the visor moves upwards, i.e. out of the field of vision.
  • a rotation then takes place.
  • this is not excluded by the term “movable”.
  • the front shield has a device for attaching the front shield to the protective helmet in a removable and slidable manner.
  • This offers the wearer of the protective helmet the opportunity to adapt to the respective situation To adapt the operating conditions and, in the event of an increased risk situation, to be able to rely on additional ballistic protection, which can be made possible by the front shield.
  • a removable forehead shield also offers the possibility of adding a forehead shield to existing helmets or retrofitting them. Velcro applications, for example, are preferred as fastening options.
  • a forehead shield is not only understood to mean this actual ballistic part, but also other means, devices and elements which are used, for example, to attach the ballistic part to a protective helmet or to connect it to a visor.
  • the aim of the enclosure is to attach the forehead shield to the helmet in a movable but still sufficiently strong and stable manner.
  • the enclosure can be, for example, a bag which is designed to hold the ballistic part of the forehead shield and to slide along the surface of the helmet dome. Alternatively, it can be a border that surrounds at least part of the edge of the ballistic part.
  • the ballistic part of the front shield Since the ballistic part of the front shield is housed in an enclosure, no mechanical processing of the ballistic part is necessary, which could have a detrimental effect on the protective effect of the front shield. Basically, mechanical processing of the ballistic part of the front shield, such as drill holes, reduces its protective effect.
  • the housing also has means for pressing the front shield against an outside of a helmet cap of the protective helmet. On the one hand, this will... Front shield held sufficiently firmly on the helmet cap. On the other hand, it is ensured that at least part of the forehead shield can be sufficiently lifted off the helmet cap when the visor is opened. Such lifting can occur because the front shield is attached to a visor and, when opened, this forms an increasing distance from the helmet cap due to its non-spherical shape and/or an eccentric arrangement of the visor bearings.
  • the means or means for pressing the front shield compensate for this lifting movement caused by the visor.
  • the enclosure is designed to be detachably connected to a helmet cap. This means that the enclosure can be connected to the helmet if necessary and the helmet can therefore be worn with a forehead shield.
  • the enclosure is designed to connect to and be removable from a visor.
  • the enclosure can be set up in such a way that it allows attachment to the helmet cap and/or the visor.
  • the fastening option is preferably designed using a Velcro application.
  • the means for pressing the front shield against an outside of a helmet cap of the protective helmet can be at least one clamping element, which is designed to be attached to at least one visor bearing of the protective helmet.
  • the tensioning element can be elastic, for example as a rubber band, and have a loop at at least one end, which is designed to be attached to a visor bearing of a helmet cap.
  • the tensioning element can be detachably connected to the housing.
  • the tensioning element can be connected to the housing using a Velcro application.
  • the tensioning element can be separated from the housing and the housing can be attached to the protective helmet without a tensioning element, for example by means of a counterpart corresponding to the Velcro application.
  • This means that the face shield is fixed to the protective helmet and cannot be moved. This may be desired, for example, if the protective helmet is worn without a visor.
  • the tensioning element can be attached closer to a side of the housing facing away from a visor of the protective helmet than to a side of the housing facing the visor.
  • This arrangement enables the lifting or rotation movement already mentioned when the enclosure is moved by a visor of the protective helmet: Due to the non-spherical shape of the protective helmet and/or an eccentric position of the visor bearings, it occurs at the lower edge of the enclosure where this occurs Visor is in contact, resulting in a lifting movement or rotation of the housing. This can be taken into account by attaching the tensioning element further away from the lower edge of the enclosure than from its upper edge.
  • the enclosure can be made of at least one flame-retardant material. In this way, burning of the housing and/or the clamping element during fire can be prevented or at least delayed to such an extent that the end shield is held securely in position even during subsequent fire.
  • the end shield according to the invention can have more than one clamping element, for example two clamping elements, which are arranged on opposite sides of the end shield or its ballistic part.
  • the device is for attaching the front shield to the protective helmet in a removable and slidable manner, at least one rail which is designed to be attached to the protective helmet and to hold a part of the protective shield in a slidable manner.
  • the rail can, for example, be glued to the surface of the helmet or attached to it using a Velcro application.
  • the other part of the front shield, in particular the ballistic part is then slidably held on the protective helmet by the rail and - similar to the enclosure mechanism already described previously - is moved by a visor of the protective helmet when opening and closing.
  • the displaceable part of the protective shield can have a sliding element which is designed to slide in the rail, which preferably has a T-groove.
  • the sliding element can be closer to a side facing away from the visor of the ballistic part of the front shield than on a side facing the visor. In this way, the already mentioned lifting or rotational movement of the movable part of the front shield can also occur with the rail mechanism described here when the visor is opened.
  • the sliding element and the rail can be designed so that the sliding part can be inserted into the rail.
  • the movable part of the front shield in particular the ballistic element, can be detachably and slidably connected to the helmet cap.
  • the forehead shield can further have at least one visor fastening means in order to connect the forehead shield to a visor of the protective helmet.
  • the visor fastening means can therefore be present in both the housing solution described herein and in the rail solution.
  • the visor attachment means can be attached to the enclosure.
  • the visor fastening means can be designed as a Velcro application. Part of this application can be arranged on the visor, e.g. on a visor bar, and the corresponding counterpart on the front shield.
  • the visor attachment means may be configured to allow relative rotation between the visor and the faceplate. This means that the lifting or rotational movement of the front shield already described can be supported when opening the visor.
  • the front shield can in principle have a fixing means in order to fix the front shield on the protective helmet.
  • the protective helmet can be worn with the forehead shield but without the visor.
  • the fixing means prevents the front shield from lifting or slipping.
  • the visor fastening means and/or the fixing means can be a Velcro application.
  • a further aspect of the present invention relates to a protective helmet, comprising (a) a helmet cap; and (b) a face shield as described herein.
  • the protective helmet can also have at least one means that interacts with the fixing means of the forehead shield.
  • this can be a Velcro fleece application, whereby the Velcro part or the fleece part can be arranged, for example, on the top of the helmet.
  • the forehead shield can then be sufficiently fixed, as described above, if the protective helmet is worn without a visor.
  • the fixing means can be designed to be foldable. In this way, the fixation means is as inconspicuous as possible when wearing the protective helmet with a visor.
  • the protective helmet can have a visor.
  • the present invention can be used particularly advantageously in a protective helmet with a visor, since the front shield moves with the visor when it is opened and closed.
  • the tensioning element can be formed by an elastic and tensionable material.
  • the forehead shield can, on the one hand, simply be pressed against the surface of the helmet and is therefore close to the helmet.
  • its flexibility allows the forehead shield to be lifted off the front edge when the visor is opened
  • Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a housing for a ballistic element of a forehead shield for a ballistic protective helmet, wherein the housing is designed to accommodate the ballistic element and has a means for pressing the ballistic element against an outside of a helmet cap of the protective helmet, so that the ballistic element can be attached to the helmet cap in a removable and movable manner.
