helmet

The present invention relates to a helmet, and more particularly, to a helmet that protects the wearer's head and prevents cold air and noise from flowing into the helmet.

When driving a two-wheeled vehicle such as a motorcycle, a helmet is worn for safety reasons to protect the driver's head.

In general, such a safety helmet has a helmet cap that has a front opening to form the appearance of the helmet, a shield to block wind blowing from the front while driving and a driver's vision, a jaw protector to protect the driver's chin, and an external It has a liner formed inside the helmet to protect the driver's head from impact.

The jaw guard may be provided with a breathing guide or the like to allow the driver to breathe smoothly even in the strong wind from the front while driving. For this reason, the jaw guard of the helmet protrudes forward.

However, due to the shape of the protruding jaw guard, a strong wind from the front during driving is caused to flow into the inside of the helmet from the lower part of the front of the jaw guard and through the empty space around the jaw guard and the wearer's chin and neck. .

As a result, the strong wind introduced into the helmet may interfere with the driver's smooth breathing, and cold wind may flow into the wearer's chin and neck in the cold winter.

In addition, due to the shape of the protruding jaw guard, an empty space is formed around the driver's chin when the helmet is worn, and the helmet may not be securely attached to the head of the wearer.

On the other hand, as a cold protection to solve this problem is disclosed in the domestic patent application No. 10-2007-0109195 (jaw curtains for safety helmets) attached to the jaw curtain on the lower side of the jaw protector.

As described above, the helmet disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0109195 has a chin curtain attached to the lower side of the jaw guard to cover the front lower part of the jaw guard and the wearer's chin and neck to prevent the wind from entering the helmet. prevent.

However, since the jaw curtain of the helmet disclosed in the application No. 10-2007-0109195 is not large enough to cover the wearer's chin and neck, it covers not only the part of the wearer's chin and neck but also does not adhere completely. There is a problem that is difficult to completely block the wind.

Therefore, there is a need for a helmet that can be in close contact with the wearer's chin and neck so as to more effectively prevent / block external cold air and noise from entering the helmet.

The present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a helmet that can prevent the introduction of cold air and noise from the outside around the chin and neck of the helmet wearer.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, a helmet body; And a neck protector mounted inside the helmet body to surround the wearer's neck, wherein the neck protector includes: a cushion member extending from the lower circumference of the helmet body toward the wearer's neck; And a wing member protruding below the cushion member and extending toward the neck of the wearer.

Here, an opening is formed between the cushion member, and the cushion member may be elastically opened outward with respect to the opening when the wearer's head is inserted into the helmet body.

The present invention wraps around the neck of a helmet wearer to protect the wearer's neck and at the same time the neck protector that is in close contact with the wearer's neck, and the neck wearer with a Chin curtain covering the lower part of the wearer's chin, And it can provide a helmet that can prevent the introduction of cold air and noise from the outside into the helmet through the neck.

First, referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the helmet according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a helmet body 10 and a neck protector 100 surrounding a wearer's neck. In addition, the helmet according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a Chin curtain 200 surrounding the lower side of the wearer's chin.

Neck protector 100 is formed to extend from a liner (not shown) formed to protect the helmet wearer's head inside the helmet body 10, or may be detachably provided inside the helmet body 10 separately from the liner. Can be.

In this embodiment, the neck protector 100 may be detachably provided to the helmet body 10. The neck protector 100 extends in the direction toward the wearer's neck along the lower circumference of the helmet body 10 and protrudes from the lower side of the cushion member 110 to extend toward the wearer's neck. The wing member 130 is included.

The cushion member 110 forms an opening 111 by being coupled to the helmet body 10, and the opening 111 based on the opening 111 to allow the wearer's head to flexibly enter the helmet body 10. Elastically open in the outward direction of (see FIG. 3).

The opening 111 is formed in a downward direction of the helmet body 10 through which the head of the wearer can enter the helmet body 10, hereinafter referred to as a first opening 111. Meanwhile, when the wearer wears a helmet, the opening formed in the front direction of the wearer's chin may be referred to as the second opening 113.

Since the cushion member 110 may be elastically open as described above, when the wearer inserts the head into the helmet, the cushion member 110 may be unreasonably open to the wearer's head, and the head of the wearer may be inserted into the helmet. Afterwards, it may be in close contact with the wearer's neck to prevent external cool air and noise from entering.

However, since the cushion member 110 should be wide enough to secure the first opening 111 to allow the wearer's head to enter, only the cushion member 110 may prevent wind or noise flowing into the helmet. It was difficult to block enough.

The present invention can perform a double shielding function against wind and noise through the wing member 130 provided secondary to the cushion member 110.

The wing member 130 is formed along the circumferential direction of the first opening 111 at the lower side of the cushion member 110, and protrudes in the direction toward the first opening 111. (See Figures 2 and 3)

Thus, the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 are combined so as to be in close contact with the circumference of the wearer double, so that the outside of the cold air and noise inflow much more than when only the cushion member 110 is provided Can be effectively prevented.

In addition, since the wing member 130 is provided in contact with the neck while being bent in the downward direction of the neck as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the wind and noise can be shielded without applying a strong pressure on the neck. Wearability and shielding can be effectively ensured at the same time.

Meanwhile, the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 of the neck protector 100 may be made of a fabric material.

Since the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 are made of a fabric material, the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 may be elastically opened as described above. In particular, while the cushion member 110 is made of a fabric material, the inside of the cushion member 110 may be provided with a shock absorbing material such as a sponge.

Through this, the cushion member 110 can sufficiently absorb the shock from the outside to stably protect the wearer's neck portion.

And since the wing member 130 is also made of a fabric material, when the wearer wears a helmet, the wing member 130 is in close contact with the wearer's neck to prevent cold air from reaching the wearer's neck as well. In addition, it is possible to obtain a secondary prevention effect of cold air and noise from entering the helmet inside.

3 (a) is a cross-sectional view showing the cross-sectional shape of the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130, Figure 3 (b) is a cushion member 110 and the wing member (when the wearer wears a helmet) It is sectional drawing which shows the deformation | transformation of 130).

Referring to FIG. 3, when the wearer wears a helmet, the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 move in the direction of the arrow shown in the drawing according to the wearer's face shape while contacting the wearer's face and neck. This can be elastically deformed and in close contact with the face and neck.

Meanwhile, the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 may be formed and combined, respectively, but may be integrally formed. For example, when the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 are integrally formed, the cushion member 110 and the wing member 130 may be divided by stitching.

The wing member 130 protruding from the lower side of the cushion member 110 is formed along the circumferential direction of the first opening 111 at a position close to the first opening 111 and based on the first opening 111. It may be elastically open in the outward direction of the first opening 111.

As the wing member 130 is formed closer to the first opening 111, the wing member 130 may be more closely attached to the circumference of the wearer when the wearer wears a helmet. However, when the wing member 130 is formed too close to the first opening 111, it becomes difficult for the wearer to enter the head into the first opening 111 or when the wing enters the first opening 111 of the wearer. Since the member 130 may be rolled into the inside of the first opening 111, the position at which the wing member 130 is formed and the length at which the wing member 130 extends may be reduced by wind and noise without causing the aforementioned problems. It is desirable to determine appropriately in the direction that can be most effectively blocked.

Meanwhile, the helmet main body 10 further includes a jaw protector 11 rotatably mounted at a lower end thereof, and referring to FIG. 4, the aforementioned parent curtain 200 is detachably mounted to the jaw protector 11.

Chin curtain 200 is detachably mounted to the lower side of the jaw protector 11 serves to wrap the lower jaw of the wearer as described above, and at the same time the neck protector 100 mounted inside the helmet body 10 In contact with the lower jaw of the wearer can serve to prevent the outside of the cold air and noise flows in.

4 to 7, the structure of the parent curtain 200 will be described in more detail. The parent curtain 200 includes a curtain body 210 having a plurality of

coupling parts

211 and 213 and a curtain body ( Fabric portion 230 connected to the 210, and the curtain portion 250 is detachably coupled to the fabric portion 230.

The plurality of

coupling parts

211 and 213 provided in the curtain body 210 serves to be coupled or decoupled so that the parent curtain 200 can be detachably mounted to the jaw guard 11.

The jaw guard 11 is formed in a streamlined shape when viewed from the lower direction, and the curtain body 210 of the parent curtain 200 coupled to the jaw guard 11 also has a shape in the lower direction of the jaw guard 11. It is formed in the same shape as.

When the curtain body 210 is coupled to the jaw guard 11, the curtain body 210 may be made of a flexible material so that the curtain body 210 may be bent to be in close contact with the jaw guard 11. Here, the flexible material may be any one of rubber or resin.

Looking in detail with respect to the plurality of engaging portions (211, 213) provided in the curtain body 210, the first engaging portion 211 is engaged with the locking lever (11a) of the jaw protector 11, the first coupling It is formed to be symmetrical with respect to the portion 211, and includes a second coupling portion 213 is fitted into the coupling hole (not shown) formed in the jaw protector (11).

A central lower side of the jaw guard 11 includes a locking lever 11a that locks or unlocks the jaw guard 11 with respect to the helmet body 10. 211 is inserted into the locking lever 11a when the locking lever 11a is pulled without forming a separate coupling hole to be coupled to the first coupling portion 211 to the jaw protector 11, and the locking lever When the pull of the 11a is released, the inner side of the locking lever 11a may be engaged and engaged.

Therefore, the first engaging portion 211 may be formed with a locking projection (211a) bent in the "b" or "b" shape to be able to engage in the locking lever (11a) inside.

The second coupling part 213 formed to be symmetrical with respect to the first coupling part 211 is formed by connecting a plurality of ribs 213a extending from the curtain body 210 and the second coupling part 213. Both sides of the) protrude 213b so that the second coupling portion 213 is fixed without being separated from the coupling hole (not shown) when the second coupling portion 213 is fitted into the coupling hole (not shown) formed in the jaw protector 11.

Since the second coupling part 230 extends from the curtain body 210, the second coupling part 230 may be elastically contracted because it is made of a flexible material such as the curtain body 210. It can be fitted or easily pulled out of the coupling hole.

Since the second coupling part 230 is made of a flexible material and is detachable through elastic contraction when a force orthogonal to the coupling hole is applied, the second coupling part 230 is not easily removed because it is not easily applied. In this case, the detachment can be easily performed by applying such force.

In this way, the curtain 200 hits the jaw guard through the combination of the first coupling portion 211 which is engaged with the inner side of the locking lever 11a and the second coupling portion 213 that is elastically contracted to the coupling hole. 11), the parent curtain 200 can be more securely and firmly coupled to the jaw guard 11, but if the detachment is desired, pulling the locking lever 11a or applying a predetermined force to the parent curtain 200 ) Can be easily removed.

In addition, the curtain body 210 and the fabric unit 230 may be made of different materials, and after forming a plurality of holes in the curtain body 210 may be fixed by stitching the fabric unit 230.

Curtain portion 250 is provided with a velcro tape (not shown) on one side, so that fine hooks (not shown) formed on the velcro tape are engaged to one surface of the fabric portion 230 so that the curtain portion 250 is fabric ( 230).

Chin curtain 200 is coupled to the lower side of the jaw guard 11 to prevent cold air and noise from entering the inside of the helmet to the lower side of the wearer's chin with the neck protector 100, Chin curtain 200 By further coupling the curtain portion 250 to the fabric portion 230 of the) it can further improve the effect.

In addition, since the curtain unit 250 is detachably coupled to the fabric unit 230 without being fixed thereto, the curtain unit 250 may be excluded from the curtain 200 according to the wearer's preference. When worn out over long periods of time, replacement effects can be obtained.

In addition, the curtain unit 250 may be disposed to abut the neck protection unit (100). As described above, the curtain unit 250 may be detachably coupled with the fabric unit 230. The detachable part is set such that the curtain unit 250 is disposed to be in contact with the neck protection unit 100. Can be. In addition, it is to contact the neck protector 100 elastically to determine the size, shape, material, thickness, etc. of the curtain unit 250 so that wind or noise does not flow between the neck protector 100 and the curtain unit 250. desirable.

As such, the curtain part 250 is disposed to contact the neck protector 100 so that a gap does not occur between the parent curtain 200 surrounding the wearer's chin and the neck protector 100 surrounding the wearer's neck. As a general shield can be made, the inflow of wind or noise into the helmet can be prevented more efficiently.

In particular, the curtain portion 250 is disposed so that the neck protector 100 abuts, and as previously described, the curtain body 210 is bent when the curtain body 210 is coupled to the jaw protector 11 so that the jaw protector ( 11) by being made of a flexible (flexible) material to be in close contact with, it is made to shield all the peripheral portion of the parent curtain 200.

As described above, the helmet according to the present invention may be equipped with a neck protector inside the helmet body to surround the wearer's neck to protect the wearer's neck and prevent cold air and noise from being introduced from the outside.

In particular, the lower side of the neck protector further includes a wing member extending in the direction of the wearer's neck along the circumferential direction of the wearer's neck, and since the wing member is made of fabric material, when the wearer wears a helmet, Closer to the neck may have the effect of further preventing the introduction of external cold air and noise.

In addition, since the cushion member or the wing member of the neck protector is made of a soft material such as a fabric, the cushion member and the wing member may be deformed according to the wearer's face shape, so that the wearer can use it comfortably.

In addition, since the helmet according to the present invention further includes a chin curtain covering the lower side of the wearer's chin to the lower side of the chin protector, the chin curtain prevents the inflow of cold air and noise outside the wearer's chin together with the neck protector. You can prevent more.
