Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for protecting a shield portion for use in a racing helmet of a motorcycle or a four-wheeled vehicle, a fire helmet, or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles)
In this competition, high concentrations of black smoke are emitted from this exhaust pipe to maximize the performance of the car. Therefore, the shield part of the helmet of the competitor (driver) becomes dirty within a short time, and the view is obstructed. Since there is no room for the driver to clean the shield part by hand, in general, stick multiple visors or protective sheets on the shield part, and when the visor becomes dirty, peel off the visor one by one in order from the top Continue the competition.

[0003]

By the way, since a plurality of visors are pasted on each other, it is difficult to remove the visors one by one within a short time. Was peeled off at the same time. Note that the above-described problem also occurs in a fire helmet and the like.

An object of the present invention is to provide a protection device for a shield portion of a helmet which is easy to handle.

[0005]

The present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems and achieving the above-mentioned object comprises at least a first and a second sheet-like protective cover, and the first sheet-like protective cover is a helmet. The second sheet-like protective cover is detachably attached to the first sheet-like protective cover, and the first and second sheet-like protective covers are attached to the first sheet-like protective cover. At least a central portion of the cover has a light-transmitting property so that the inside of the helmet can be seen through the central portion, and the central portion of the first and second sheet-like protective covers and The present invention relates to a protective device for a shield portion of a helmet, wherein a convex portion is formed between at least one end of the helmet and the like. As described in claim 2, at least the first and second sheet-like protective covers are attached to each other, and an adhesive is applied to the first sheet-like protective cover in advance, and a release sheet is attached thereto. It is desirable to keep.

According to the invention of each claim, since the convex portion is provided on the sheet-like protective cover, a gap is generated between the ends of the sheet-like protective cover, and a plurality of sheet-like protective covers can be easily and sequentially placed from the top. It becomes possible to peel off accurately.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a protective device for a shield portion of a helmet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, a motorcycle competitor wears a helmet 1. The protective device 3 according to the present invention is mounted on the shield member 2 of the helmet 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 1 of the helmet 1
An opening 1b is formed in a, and the opening 1b is covered by a shield member 2 made of a transparent or colored plastic plate. The shield member 2 is fixed to the main body 1a. A person wearing the helmet 1 looks outside through the opening 1b and the shield member 2.

The protection device 3 according to the present invention has a plurality of (in this example, first, second and third) sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b and 3c. First, second and third sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b as disposable visors;
3c is made of a transparent or colored plastic sheet and has flexibility. The first to third sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b, 3c are formed so as to maintain a flat state unless external force is applied. The central portions of the first to third sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b, 3c are arranged to face the opening 1b of the helmet 1. Protrusions 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b are formed between the central portions of the sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b, 3c and both ends thereof, respectively. Each protrusion 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a,
6b projects from the helmet 1 outward. In addition, the convex portion 5a of the second sheet-like protective cover 3b,
5b is a projection 4 of the lower first sheet-like protective cover 3a.
a, 4b, and the projections 6a, 6b of the third sheet-like protection cover 3c are arranged outside the projections 5a, 5b of the lower second sheet-like protection cover 3b. I have. In FIG. 2, the central portion inside the pair of projections 4a and 4b of the first sheet-like protective cover 3a is the shield portion 2
Is releasably attached by an adhesive (not shown). A pair of convex portions 5a of the second sheet-like protective cover 3b,
The central portion inside 5b is the first sheet-like protective cover 3a.
Is attached by an adhesive (not shown). Third
The central portion inside the pair of convex portions 6a and 6b of the sheet-like protective cover 3c is attached to the second sheet-like protective cover 3b with an adhesive (not shown). Convex parts 4a, 4b, 5a, 5 of each sheet-like protective cover 3a, 3b, 3c
No adhesive is applied to end regions between b, 6a, 6b and both ends, and each end region is formed with convex portions 5a, 5b, 6a,
6b are separated from each other. For this reason, it is possible to easily peel off the sheet-shaped protective covers 3b, 3c by pinching the end regions of the outer sheet-shaped protective covers 3b, 3c with a fingertip. Further, in this embodiment, since the lengths from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the first to third sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b, 3c are substantially the same,
The positions where these are picked up with the fingertips are substantially the same, and the outermost sheet-shaped protective cover can be peeled off by the same operation at all times.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a part of the state before the protective device 3 of the shield part 2 is mounted on the helmet 1. First, second and third sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b, 3
Adhesives (adhesives) 12 and 13 are peelably attached to each other between c. An adhesive 11 is applied to the helmet-facing surface of the lowermost first sheet-like protective cover 3a, and a release sheet 10 is attached here. Each of the adhesives 11, 12, 13 is made of a transparent material. When attaching the protection device 3 of FIG. 4 to the helmet 1, the release sheet 10 is peeled off and attached to the helmet 1 with the adhesive 10. When the protection device 3 is configured as shown in FIG. 4, it is convenient to carry.

[0012]

[Modifications] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and for example, the following modifications are possible. (1) In the embodiment, the convex portions 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6
Although a and 6b are formed linearly and longitudinally, they can be formed in another shape such as a hemisphere. (2) Instead of attaching the plurality of sheet-shaped protective covers 3a, 3b, 3c to each other with adhesives 12, 13, a concave portion is provided on one side and a convex portion is provided on the other side, and the concave and convex portions are mechanically coupled by engagement of the concave and convex portions. May be. The strength of the mechanical connection in this case is set to such an extent that the end regions of the sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b, 3c can be picked up with a fingertip and easily peeled off. Further, the first to third sheet-like protective covers 3a, 3b, 3c may be sequentially laminated using an adhesive or an adhesive at the time of use without applying the adhesives 11, 12, 13 in advance. . (3) Instead of forming the protrusions 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, and 6b integrally with the sheet-shaped protective covers 3a, 3b, and 3c, a rod-shaped member formed separately is fixed to the sheet-shaped protective cover. It can be a projection. (4) Protruding portions are provided on the surface of the first sheet-shaped protective cover 3a facing the helmet 1 to lift both ends of the lowermost sheet-shaped protective cover 3a from the helmet 1, or convex portions are provided on the helmet 1 side. Can be provided. (5) The protection device of the present invention can also be used for a helmet for fire fighting or the like.
