Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved bicycle helmet with a plurality of surface elements, which are each received in recesses in an outer plastic shell of the bicycle helmet and are designed to detach from the helmet body in the event of an impact of the bicycle helmet in order to protect the head and neck of the cyclist .
- Conventional bicycle helmets often have areas with the largest possible deformation path in order to provide a crumple zone, so that in the event In the event of an impact with the bicycle helmet, the translational accelerations acting on the cyclist's head can be reduced.
- the function of a bicycle helmet is to absorb and dissipate the forces acting on the head as a result of an impact in order to reduce the risk of injury to the cyclist.
- bicycle helmets At the same time, it is desirable for bicycle helmets to be as light as possible in order to keep the increased load on the cyclist's spine due to higher inertia low.
- conventional bicycle helmets are predominantly made of plastic materials.
- a hard outer plastic shell is usually arranged on the outside of conventional bicycle helmets, which allows the bicycle helmet to slide off the ground or from an obstacle, and which distributes the force introduced over a large area and prevents the bicycle helmet from breaking apart upon impact.
- an inner damping layer is arranged, which is often referred to as a liner and which is made of a plastically deformable material.
- the inner cushioning layer absorbs the forces introduced by the outer plastic shell through plastic deformation, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the cyclist's head.
- conventional inner damping layers are often made of polymeric foams, in which the polymer forms a matrix of cells in which gas, especially air, is enclosed.
- Corresponding conventional polymeric foams are made by converting the polymer into a deformable, flowable state, then foaming and then solidifying manufactured.

- conventional bicycle helmets In order to ensure an effective exchange of air between an interior area of the bicycle helmet facing the cyclist's head and an exterior area of the bicycle helmet while using a bicycle helmet, conventional bicycle helmets often have a large number of openings designed as ventilation slots, which cover both the outer plastic shell and the inner cushioning layer of the Break through the bicycle helmet. This can prevent the cyclist's head from overheating.
- conventional bicycle helmets often have an adjustment mechanism in order to be able to adapt the bicycle helmet to different head circumferences of different cyclists.
- conventional bicycle helmets often have a fastener which fixes the bicycle helmet below the cyclist's chin in order to prevent a loss of contact between the bicycle helmet and the cyclist's head in the event of an accident.
- Another problem is that in cycling, e.g. when racing or mountain biking, there is still an increased risk of injury not only to the head but also to the cyclist during an accident due to high impact speeds or obstacles in the path of the cyclist's fall, despite the use of a bicycle helmet also exists for the cyclist's neck.
