  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • For the sake of safety, safety helmets are necessarily worn to protect a rider's head from the force incurred by a possible strike with an external object while riding motorcycles. These safety helmets are either full-faced or open-faced and generally have a visor plate attachable to the helmet and rotatable with respect to the helmet. Open-faced helmets are light, ventilative and convenient to wear, but they can not provide full protection for a wearer's face and chin from cold wind or rain. Therefore, full-faced helmets are more popularly worn to satisfy a wearer's need for face and chin protection.
  • However, general full-faced helmets have a chin guard which is integral with the helmet, and it is very unconvenient for a rider to wear or take off this kind of integral full-faced helmets because of the fixed chin guard.

  • Another primary objective of the present invention is to provide a position controlling mechanism that is pivotally mounted on a side of a full-faced helmet for adjusting the positions of a chin guard and a visor plate.
  • Still another primary objective of the present invention is to provide a position controlling mechanism that can be easily operated according to the movement of a chin guard and a visor plate between activated and retracted positions.
  • To realize these advantages, the present invention provides a position controlling mechanism pivotally mounted on a side of a full-faced helmet for adjusting the positions of a chin guard and a visor plate of the helmet. The position controlling mechanism includes at least a chin guard, at least a spring, at least a rotor, at least a visor plate, at least an interaction gear, at least a transmission gear, at least a rotative element, at least an elastic ring and at least a visor plate base.
