Description
- 1. Field of the Disclosure
- The disclosure relates to helmet devices and more particularly pertains to a new helmet device for concealing a retractable visor within a safety helmet wherein the visor is extendable when necessary to protect a wearer against wind and rain.
- An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a rigid, shell configured to cover a human head. The shell has a top portion, an open bottom portion, and a pair of sides extending between the top portion and the open bottom portion. A gap is formed between the sides and the top portion of the shell. A visor is retractable into the shell and is selectively positionable between an extended position and a storage position wherein the visor exposes the gap in the storage position and covers the gap in the extended position. A tab is coupled to the visor and extends outwardly from a bottom edge of the visor wherein the tab is configured to prevent the visor from extending fully into the shell.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
- The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a top front side perspective view of a helmet device with retractable visor according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is a front view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosure taken along line 4-4 ofFIG. 3 . - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new helmet device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 4 , the helmet device withretractable visor 10 generally comprises arigid shell 12 configured to cover a human head. Theshell 12 has atop portion 14, anopen bottom portion 16, aback portion 18, and a pair ofsides 20 extending between thetop portion 14 and theopen bottom portion 16 wherein theshell 12 is configured to protect a top side, a back side, and side portions of the head of the wearer. Thus, theshell 12 functions as an open-faced helmet as that term is commonly known in the art. Thetop portion 14 and theback portion 18 are preferably convexly arcuate so as to conform to the shape of the head of the wearer. Abottom edge 22 of theopen bottom portion 16 may be straight. Thesides 20 of theshell 12 may be concavely arcuate wherein each of thesides 20 is bounded by anupper recess 24 and alower protrusion 26 each positioned on afront edge 28 of theshell 12. - A
gap 30 is formed between thesides 20 and thetop portion 14 of theshell 12 wherein thegap 30 is configured for positioning adjacent a face of a wearer when the head of the wearer extends through theopen bottom portion 16 of theshell 12. Alining 32 is coupled to theshell 12. Thelining 32 is positioned on aninner face 34 of theshell 12 and may extend a full length around thetop portion 14 and theback portion 18 of theshell 12 wherein thelining 32 is configured to provide cushioning to the head of the wearer against theshell 12. Thelining 32 is preferably made from foam. Alower edge 36 of thetop portion 14 of theshell 12 is provided. Thelower edge 36 may extend between theprotrusions 26 of thesides 20 and may also be straight. - A
visor 38 is retractable into theshell 12 wherein thevisor 38 is vertically slidable into and out of thetop portion 14 of theshell 12. Thevisor 38 is selectively positionable between an extendedposition 40 and a storage position wherein thevisor 38 exposes thegap 30 in the storage position and covers thegap 30 in theextended position 40. Thevisor 38 is preferably arcuate. Thevisor 38 may be translucent wherein thevisor 38 is configured to diffuse light passing through thevisor 38 such that sunlight glare is reduced. Thevisor 38 is slidable against thelower edge 36 of thetop portion 14 wherein thelower edge 36 is configured for drying thevisor 38 when atop surface 42 of thevisor 38 abuts thelower edge 36. - An
interior space 44 of theshell 12 is positioned between theinner face 34 and anouter face 46 of theshell 12. Aguide rail 48 is positioned within theinterior space 44 of theshell 12 and extends from thelower edge 36 across thetop portion 14 of theshell 12. Theguide rail 48 has an opening 50 extending therethrough wherein theopening 50 is configured to receive thevisor 38 when thevisor 38 is slidably inserted into theshell 12 such that thevisor 38 is extendable inwardly and outwardly of theshell 12. Atab 52 is coupled to thevisor 38. Thetab 52 extends outwardly from abottom edge 54 of thevisor 38 wherein thetab 52 is configured for preventing thevisor 38 from extending fully into theshell 12. Thetab 52 may also be grasped by a hand of a wearer in order to move thevisor 38 between the extendedposition 40 and the storage position. Thetab 52 may be rectangular and centrally positioned on thebottom edge 54 of thevisor 38. - In use, as stated above and shown in the Figures, the
shell 12 is positioned over the head of the wearer. Thelining 32 cushions the wearer's head against theshell 12 and thus provides comfort as well as protection from injury. The wearer uses theguide rail 48 to slide thevisor 38 into and out of theshell 12 as desired to protect against wind, rain, and sunlight Sliding thevisor 38 against thelower edge 36 of thetop portion 14 dries thevisor 38. Thetab 52 prevents thevisor 38 from extending fully into theshell 12 and permits a wearer to grasp onto thetab 52 for easy transition between the extended 40 and storage positions. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure.
