Definitions

  • This support mask which can be opportunely shaped and fitted with ducts allowing the guided passage of an air flow from the outside to the inside of the helmet, is usually a plate-like member made out of an injection molded plastic material (such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), or also thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)), including both the hooking means to the chin guard, formed for example by screws, bolts or elastic-type couplings, and also by holding means of the shock absorbing layer of the chin guard, made for example by portions and shaped strikers or elastic tabs or other elements designed to execute mechanical constraining of said shock absorbing layer.
  • PE polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • this support mask of the shock absorbing layer makes no longer necessary the overprinting operation of the said absorbing layer, usually in EPS, with a thin layer of a coating material, such as PU foam.
  • these temporary, or reversible, coupling means of the padding usually comprise fixing plates, glued to the shock absorbing layer, which bear strikers for complementary buttons or hooks built into the corresponding portions of the padding.
  • a further purpose of the present invention is to provide a protective helmet equipped with a chin guard by way of an economical and quick production process, providing a wide choice of finishes and shapes within the chin guard, while requiring a smaller amount of components.
  • the protective helmet according to the present invention comprises a shell with a chin guard and an opening for a visor, one or more shock absorbing layers, internally coupled to said shell and said chin guard, and one or more paddings inside said shock absorbing layers, as well as and at least an internal support mask for a shock absorbing layer of the chin guard.
  • This support mask also comprises respective holding means of the shock absorbing layer of the chin guard, and hooking means to the chin guard.
  • the support mask may moreover include ducts for the passage of air flow and/or constraining means for additional external accessories of the helmet, such as for example a lower windscreen or a diffuser for an upper airflow.
  • FIG. 1B is a semi sectional view of the helmet in FIG. 1A from which lateral comfort paddings of the cranial area of the head are removed;
  • FIG. 9 is a side view of the padding for the user's cheek in FIG. 8 , pointing out the temporary coupling means to the aforesaid support mask.
  • the tabs 2 a, 2 b, the frame 4 and the lower region 3 in addition to the particular shape of the surface 5 , form the appropriate retaining means of the shock absorbing layer 10 of the chin guard 102 .
  • These means of temporary coupling are composed of a through-slot 61 A, 61 b at the center of which is a flange 6 a, 6 b which protrudes towards the inside of the helmet, a pin, or a striker, 8 a, 8 b intended to engage with a complementary hook, or fork, 108 a (see FIGS. 8 and 9 ) presented by at least one corresponding paddings 106 .
  • each fork 108 a with its corresponding pin 8 a may for example be of an elastic type, so as to directly facilitate the mechanical fixing between padding 106 and support mask 1 , or it can be of a loose type, such as a hook for example in which the fork 108 a is extractable in a given direction.
  • the helmet 100 shown herein may include a plurality of paddings 105 , 106 flanking each other, in such a way that at least a padding 106 , or a pair of said paddings, is arranged so as to cover at least part of the sides of the opening 103 for the visor, substantially engaging the user's cheeks when the helmet 100 is worn, until reaching the chin guard 102 , or more precisely its corresponding support mask 1 for the shock absorbing layer 10 .
