Definitions

  • This invention is constructed from a forest helmet visor and a protective framebody positioned in the down- and backedge parts of visor and a fabric stripe fastened into inner circle of this framebody.
  • a sort of protective fabric-body structure can be utilized solely in visor or optionally both in hearing protectors and in visor.
  • the aim of this invention is, with reform of necprotection provided by helmet visor, to minimize especially in clearingwork the caring caused by the tendense of branches and twigs to come in contact with nec, chin and downface areas and and by the same minimize the lost of working performance caused by this extra observation.
  • Collars, jacketcollars and sweat combined with mobility are exposing skin in nec area to abrasions.
  • tight collarwearings reduce the local coolingeffect of perspiration.
  • the additional aim with invention is up to boost comfort right while hot weather conditions.
  • the construction can act as a wearing and supply protection for necbody areas against cold and wind.
  • Aim is to get the framebody as ventilated as possible, that is reached by using extensively for example vinylnet.
  • the aim with proper ventilation is to compensate that partial warmingeffect caused by the fabric element.
  • FIG. 1 demonstrates the framebody and fabric-curtain attached to traditional visormodell as seen from the sidedirection
  • FIG. 2 demonstrates the framebody as seen from above
  • FIG. 3 demonstrates the curtainhanger attached to hearing protector
  • the form and sizing of the framebody 3 ( FIGS. 1 and 2 ) enables that the fastening ring 10 ( FIG. 2 ) is positioned quite near to upper necring area, in consequence, that the fastenable polyester fabric-curtain 2 ( FIG. 1 ) is able to interlace properly with even a shorter collar, and thus resulting a working protection and comfort.
  • the construction is simplest one when it is attached only into visor ( FIGS. 1 and 2 ). To get a proper protection the framebody 3 ( FIG. 1 ) has to extend with backsides 8 ( FIG. 2 ) as behind to backnec area as possible.
  • Backsides 8 can be sized as long that they can be connected with express hooks 23 and 24 to each others's end. In that case there is no need to fastening elements in hearing protectors 20 ( FIG. 3 ) with their counter elements 19 ( FIG. 2 ) in backsides 8 .
  • the working challenge caused by the size of backsides is to be solved with shaping the backsides to be positioned right open in base form ( FIG. 2 ).
  • This enables the normal functions of the visor; lifting up and laying down to working position.
  • open structure gives a better field of vision from sides when visor 1 ( FIG. 1 ) is being uplifted and and with fabric-curtain 2 ( FIG. 1 ) being lifted as well upon framebody 3 and visor 1 ( FIG. 1 ).
  • Movement to working mode is made by attaching backsides 8 with bending them 18 ( FIG. 2 ) into the fastening elements 20 of downlaid workingmode hearing protectors 4 ( FIG. 3 ). Likewisely you have to unlock backsides 8 from hearing protectors before uplifting the visor.
  • the fabric-curtain 2 ( FIG. 1 ) is narrowing down the field of vision when visor is in uplifted mode. For that reason it can be equipped with studs 9 ( FIG. 1 ) with counter studs in a frame body 16 ( FIG. 1 ). So you can lock the uplifted curtain with these fastening elements. If necessary the sliding down of uplifted fabric-curtain 2 ( FIG. 1 ) can be prevented by other simple ways as well. Those can be based on friction elements or sizing of the fabric-curtain 2 .
  • curtainhangers 5 can consist of flexible material at least in bottoms with partial vinylnet in body. For working protection effect the curtainhangers 5 must extend distinctively forward with front ends to be able to interlace properly inward with the backedge 21 ( FIG. 1 ) of the utilized framebody 3 .
  • the combimodel visor is normally utilized with the exception that the hearing protector structures ( FIG. 3 ) are laid down before the fall of visor 1 ( FIG. 1 ) to get the aimed interlacing.
  • the framebody 3 ( FIG. 1 ) can be manufactured either as a united part of visor 1 or it can be a fixable one, designed to be attached with integrated visorstructures and corresponding structures 11 ( FIG. 2 ) In the upper part of framebody 3 .
  • the fabric-curtain 2 ( FIG. 1 ) can be a replaceable one, designed to be locked with studs into the framebody counterstuds 15 ( FIG. 2 ).
  • fabric-curtain 2 can be made attachable by fastening studs 14 to be connectable with integrated counterstuds positioned in upperbody wearings or in harness.
  • the framebody 3 ( FIG. 1 ) is build up of nylonnet 27 ( FIG. 2 ) strengthened by plastic body or stripes.
  • the aimed functionality of a visor 1 , framebody 3 and fabric-curtain 2 is better when treebranches and sticks glide with smaller friction in contact situations. This at the same is reducing the presssure against the visor 1 and it's structures.
  • the framebody 3 ( FIG. 1 ) is possible to size looser inwards when the fabric-curtain 2 is equipped with a specific ribbing texture 22 or with another tightening or adjustment mechanism.
  • the framebody 3 and fabric-curtain 2 do not necessarily demand any structural intensification concerning the visor 1 , net-texture 12 , netframe 13 or joints 17 utilized in existing solutions.
  • the invention improves and simplifies mobility in thickets and equally makes easier to work closer to trees. At the same, these performance factors bring to light the utilized visor's 1 ( FIG. 1 ) sliding and endurance qualities. Regarding abovementioned aspects, nylon-netvisor is more withstanding to respond the challenges extra speeding brings along.
