mounting device 1, which supports a supporting part 3 about an axis at abase plate 5 supported to be slidable back and forth respect to the left side part BL of helmet shell B, is equipped to the helmet A by attaching thebase plate 5 at the left side part BL of the helmet shell B. Themounting device 1 is formed in a shape to wrap around the supporting part 3 to the mountingpart 2 via the arm part 4 so as to site MIC body M1 around the mouth D1 of the wearer D in state of themounting device 1 equipped to the helmet A. - In the
mounting part 2, amounting hole 20 embedding and mounting the MIC body M1 of MIC M at the side of the wearer D and amounting groove 21 embedding and mounting a line M2 connected to the MIC body M1 are formed. - The
mounting hole 20 is formed in a shape embedding and fitting to the MIC body M1 not to be misaligned. Themounting groove 21 is consecutively formed adjacent to themounting hole 20 in a shape embedding and fitting to the line M2 not to be misaligned.

- Since an
axis supporting part 6 is formed passing through in the depth direction in the supporting part 3, themounting device 1 is supported about an axis to be rotatable about the supportingaxis 7 respect to thebase plate 5 by a supportingaxis 7 passed through theaxis supporting part 6 and attached at thebase plate 5 piled on the supporting part 3 in the depth direction. - The arm part 4 extends from the
mounting part 2 located around the mouth D1 of the wearer D to be formed in a bowed shape from the supporting part 3 supported at the left side part BL via thebase plate 5 to themounting part 2 located around the mouth D1 of the wearer D. - The
base plate 5 is a plate-like body forming two, up and down,long holes axis supporting hole 52 opened about the same axis as of theaxis supporting part 6, andsteps base plate 5 to prevent the arm part 4 from rotating. - The
steps base plate 5 such that their back edges are located anterior to the supportingaxis 7, and they prevent the arm part 4 from rotating during driving by maintaining the arm part 4 in state that themounting part 2 is located around the mouth D1 of the wearer D (refer to theFIG. 1 ) so as to sandwich the arm part 4 at its top and bottom as shown in theFIG. 4 . - The axis of the supporting
axis 7 is oriented in the right and left direction of the helmet shell B by piling such thebase plate 5 on the left side part BL in the depth direction and arranging thelong holes mounting part 2 may move between around the mouth D1 of the wearer D and the head B1 of the helmet shell B by the supporting part 3 rotating about the supportingaxis 7 oriented in such axial direction. - The supporting part 3 supporting about an axis respect to the
base plate 5 may prevent from rotating or shaking caused by wind or shake during driving, and moreover rotational resistance may be generated as much as the supporting part 3 rotates at ease. - The mounting

mounting device 1 may prevent the MIC M from misalignment and drop caused by wind and shake during driving because thebase plate 5 supported about an axis at the left side part BL supports themounting device 1 mounting the MIC M about an axis. - Moreover, since the
mounting device 1 is formed with a foamed synthetic resin material generating repulsive resilience against deforming stress acting to themounting device 1, even if force acts to move themounting part 2 apart from the mouth by wind or shake during driving or by careless touch on themounting device 1 with a hand or a shoulder, the force may be released by bending and deforming themounting device 1. Thus, themounting device 1 may be prevented from such as breakage, misalignment and drop, and even if the mountingpart 2 moves away from the mouth for a moment to bend and deform themounting device 1, the repulsive resilience generated by bending and deforming moves the mountingpart 1 back to the original place. - Therefore, the
mounting device 1 may be prevented from such as breakage, misalignment and drop by bending and deforming resulted from careless touch on themounting device 1 with a hand or a shoulder, and the repulsive resilience by bending and deforming may move the mountingpart 2 back to around the mouth D1 so as to properly take voice input during driving. - Further, since the
base plate 5 supporting themounting device 1 about an axis is supported about an axis to be slidable back and forth respect to the left side part BL, the position of the MIC body is adjustable around the mouth D1 of the wearer D within the area defined by where theguide axes 53 is supported about an axis and by the length and width of thelong holes - Further, since the
mounting device 1 is supported about an axis to be rotatable respect to thebase plate 5, it allows themounting device 1 to move to the point where themounting device 1 does not interrupt, e.g. the point where the mountingpart 2 faces to the helmet shell B, by rotating themounting device 1 when the helmet A is put on or taken off. - Further, when moving the MIC body M1 back to around the mouth D1 of the wearer D, by moving the
mounting device 1 back to the point between thesteps base plate 5 to rotate themounting device 1 at the same time to move it toward the outside of the helmet shell B (apart from the helmet shell), it allows themounting device 1 to maintain its position adjusted around the mouth D1 of the wearer all the time. - Further, since the mounting
device 1 is formed with a foamed synthetic resin material having deformation function for the wearer D, even if the mountingdevice 1 contacts with the wearer D to heavily bend and deform, the contact does not affect the wearer because of the deformation function. Moreover, since the foamed synthetic resin material is relatively light-weight and inexpensive for its property, it allows the mountingdevice 1 to reduce its weight and cost for materials. And more, since the mountingdevice 1 is lightweight, it allows the helmet A to suppress increase in weight, and therefore, the wearer D may comfortably wear the helmet A. -
FIG. 4 is a configuring diagram of a mountingdevice 1′ in the second embodiment. Descriptions of regions overlapping to the mountingdevice 1 are omitted by designating the same signs. - The mounting
device 1′ is formed in a shape same as of theaforementioned mounting device 1, and acoating material 11 coats the mountingdevice 1′ with foamed synthetic resin materials having deformation function for the wearer D and suppleness around a plate-like core material 10 formed with a rigid synthetic resin material generating the repulsive resilience against deforming stress over the supporting part 3 to the mountingpart 2 via the arm part 4. - Such the mounting
device 1′ may be attached to the helmet A via thebase plate 5 similar to the mountingdevice 1, and the same effects are expected as in the mountingdevice 1 by attaching to the helmet A. - Further, the mounting
device 1′ maintains its shape by rigidity of thecore material 10 made of rigid synthetic resin materials, so that thickness of the mountingdevice 1′ may be thinner than thickness of theaforementioned mounting device 1 as illustrated in a drawing. - Also, rigidity of the
core material 10 may provide excellent durability against force by bending and deforming. -
FIG. 5 is a configuring diagram of a helmet A which provides the mountingdevice 1″ in the third embodiment. Descriptions of regions overlapping to the mountingdevice 1 are omitted by designating the same signs. - The mounting
device 1″ is formed to be attached over the left to right side parts BL, BR of the helmet shell B. The supportingpart 3L supported at the left side part BL via a base plate 5L and anarm part 4L connecting the supportingpart 3L with the mountingpart 2 are formed at the left side of the mountingpart 2 arranged in the center when seen from the wearer side, and a supportingpart 3R supported at the right side BR via abase plate 5R and anarm part 4R connecting the supportingpart 3R with the mountingpart 2 are formed at the right side of the mountingpart 2. - Also, two mounting
grooves device 1″, the mountinggroove 21L linked to the left of a mountinghole 20 and the mountinggroove 21R linked to the right of the mountinghole 20. Therefore, the line M2 may be taken out of the mountingdevice 1″ through either of the right and left of the helmet shell B. - Such the mounting
device 1″ may be attached to the helmet A viabase plates 5L, 5R similar to the mountingdevice 1, and the same effects may be expected as in the mountingdevice 1 by attaching to the helmet A. - A
coating material 11 may coat the mountingdevice 1″ with a foamed synthetic resin. material around a plate-like core material 10 made of a rigid synthetic resin material as the mountingdevice 1′. - The mounting
devices part 2 around the mouth D1 of the wearer D. Also, the mountingdevices - ABS resin, hard and soft rubber materials may be exemplified other than the foamed synthetic resin materials as materials having deformation function for the wearer D and generating repulsive resilience against deforming stress. Herein, ebonite rubber may be exemplified as the hard rubber materials, and such as elastomeric rubber, urethane rubber and silicon rubber may be exemplified as the soft rubber materials.
- Also, at least, the
arm parts devices device 1′ in whole is covered with foamed synthetic resin materials, at least, the arm part 4 may be covered with foamed synthetic resin materials. - Having described specific preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
