Definitions

  • the invention relates to a helmet.
  • the invention relates to a bicycle helmet.
  • the invention may also be directed to other helmets, such as ski helmets or snowboard helmets.
  • the helmet is intended to protect the head of a wearer. It is intended to reduce the forces acting on the head in the event of an accident so as to prevent or mitigate head injuries.
  • a headband is often provided, which runs around the back of the head of the wearer.
  • the disadvantage here is that the fixing is not optimally adapted to the head of the wearer. This is due to the different head shapes of the wearers. The wearer then has the feeling that the helmet is not sitting properly or fits. The protective effect of the helmet is then also significantly reduced.
  • a protective helmet comprising a helmet shell and attached to the helmet shell headband.
  • the headband is height adjustable for adaptation to the head anatomy of a wearer. It has two attachment portions which extend laterally substantially along a lower edge of the helmet shell. The front ends of the attachment portions are pivotally mounted on the helmet shell via pivot bearings. These pivot bearings are located directly on the helmet shell.
  • approaches in the form of plastic bands are provided which are on the one hand with the helmet shell and on the other hand via pivot bearings with the respective attachment portion of the headband in articulated connection. These pivot bearings are located at the level of the lower edge of the helmet shell.
  • This well-known helmet has proven itself in practice. However, the adaptability of its fixation system to the head anatomy of a wearer is often not ideal.
  • the US 5 044 019 discloses a helmet, on the helmet shell side plate-like holding means are attached. Headbands are in turn pivotally connected to the holding means. The corresponding pivot bearings are located in the lower edge of the helmet shell. They are provided inside the helmet shell. Again, the adaptability of the headbands to the head anatomy of a wearer is not optimal.
  • a helmet with a helmet shell known.
  • a mounting device which comprises a first rear support member for the back of a head and second support parts, which are fixed to the helmet shell via Velcro closures.
  • the first support part is connected to the second support parts via support intermediate parts.
  • the bracket intermediate parts create an articulated connection between the first and the second mounting parts.
  • the mounting device can be adjusted both forward and backward as well as up and down with a variable angle to the respective head of the wearer. A targeted adaptation of the helmet to the head anatomy of a wearer is not possible here.
  • the mounting device can not be adjusted accurately.
  • the rotary closure arrangement comprises a rotary closure, a closure carrier carrying the rotary closure and a tensioning element which can be adjusted and changed in its effective length relative to the rotary closure.
  • the tensioning element can be a flexible webbing and be pivoted. Also, this fixation system can not be well adapted to the head anatomy of a wearer.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a helmet that has a particularly good fit and is individually adaptable to different head shapes.
  • the helmet should thus also have an extremely high protective effect.
  • a fixing system for fixing a helmet shell on the head of the carrier has at least one pivot joint which connects at least one headband with at least one fastening element pivotally.
  • the swivel joint allows flexible adaptation of the headband to the respective wearer. A variety of settings are possible, making the helmet perfectly adaptable to the wearer's head.
  • a free spacer section running away from the helmet shell is provided, wherein a pivot joint is provided between the free end of the spacer section and the at least one headband.
  • the at least one pivot joint is thus not in or on the helmet shell. In particular, it is arranged at a distance from a lower edge region of the helmet shell and preferably below the lower edge region of the helmet shell.
  • a helmet 1 which is designed here as a bicycle helmet, comprises a cap-like helmet shell 2 for covering the upper head of a wearer and attached to the helmet shell 2 fixing system, which serves to fix the helmet shell 2 to the head of the wearer.
  • the head of the wearer itself is not shown in the figures.
  • the helmet 1 is designed as a hard shell helmet, d. H. his helmet shell 2 has an inner part made of a hardened plastic or polystyrene, which is covered on the outside with a coating of hard plastic. Such a helmet shell 2 is known from the prior art and therefore requires no further comments.
  • a flexible chin strap is mounted in a known manner, which is provided for circulating the chin of the wearer and also fixes the helmet shell 2 to the head of the wearer.
  • the chinstrap is not shown in the figures.
  • the chin strap is laterally connected in the front half of the helmet 1 with the helmet shell 2.
  • the front half of the helmet 1 extends from a front end region 3 of the helmet 1, which is adjacent to the forehead of the wearer with the helmet 1 attached or covering it in a protective manner.
  • the helmet 1 is formed substantially symmetrically with respect to a central longitudinal plane which extends centrally between the front end region 3 and the rear behind-head region 7 of the helmet 1.
  • the occipital area 7 faces away from the end region 3 and at least partially covers the back of the head of the wearer.
  • the fixing system has according to the preferred embodiment, two laterally attached to the helmet shell 2, substantially opposing fasteners 4, two connected to the fasteners 4 headbands 5 and two substantially opposite pivot joints 6 between the fasteners 4 and the head bands 5.
  • a pivot joint 6 between a fastening element 4 and a headband 5 whereby in each case a headband 5 is connected to a fastening element 4.
  • the components which are relevant here are essentially identical, although slight differences in the connection area between the two head bands 5 are to be disregarded here. In the following, essentially only a fastening element 4 and the headband 5 pivotally coupled thereto via a pivot joint 6 will be discussed.
  • a fastening element 4 is attached to the inside of the helmet shell 2.
  • the fastening element 4 is made of plastic and is substantially inflexible. It is band-like or strip-like and integrally formed.
  • the fastening element 4 has a straight fastening section 8, which is mounted immovably on the inside of the helmet shell 2 and thereby runs along a lower edge region of the helmet shell 2.
  • the attachment portion 8 has a free end 9 which lies in the front half of the helmet 1 and is fixed there to the inside of the helmet shell 2. From the free end 9 of the attachment portion 8 extends rearwardly in the direction of the occipital region 7.
  • the fastener 4 has a Kröpf kink 10, which at the free end 9 opposite End of the fastening portion 8 is provided and is immovable to the helmet shell 2.
  • Kröpf kink point 10 which rests on the inside of the helmet shell 2 in the rear, emanating from the rear of the back portion 7 half of the helmet 1, there is a straight spacing section 11 in connection, which extends from there obliquely backwards down.
  • the spacing section 11 thus extends away from the helmet shell 2 away from the crimp kink 10 and also extends away from the front region 3.
  • an angle a is formed, which is approximately 125 ° to 145 °.
  • the free end 12 of the spacer section 11 is spaced from the helmet shell 2, ie it protrudes a little way down from the helmet shell 2. It protrudes beyond the lower edge area of the helmet shell 2.
  • a band-like connecting element 13 is articulated to the attachment portion 8, which in turn is anchored with its free end 14 inside the helmet shell 2.
  • barbs 15 are formed for anchoring in the helmet shell 2.
  • the connecting element 13 is formed in one piece. It runs approximately perpendicular to the attachment section 8 and ensures a fixing of the attachment section 8 to the helmet shell 2.
  • a bearing body 16 is provided, which projects from the base of the spacer portion 11 to the outside.
  • the bearing body 16 includes a support ring 17 and from this radially outwardly projecting engagement approaches 18. Overall, three engagement lugs 18 are provided here, which are arranged uniformly spaced over the circumference of the support ring 17 to each other.
  • the bearing body 16 is formed integrally with the spacer portion 11.
  • the headband 5 is straight and is in one piece. It is flexible and adjustable. It has at a, the fastening element 4 facing the end 19 for supporting the bearing body 16 has a bearing recess 20 which penetrates there completely the headband 5 laterally.
  • the bearing recess 20 has a central, circular bearing region 21 whose diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the support ring 17. From the storage area 21 go six pocket-like depressions 22 radially outward, the radial depth is slightly larger than the radial extent of the engagement lugs 18.
  • the recesses 22 may have different lengths and distances from each other in the circumferential direction.
  • the support ring 17 is seated in the bearing recess 20, while the engagement lugs 18 engage in one of the recesses 22.
  • the headband 5 is adjustable in its position. It is adjustable in height, in which the headband 5 rests against the back of the head or the back of the head. In the uppermost adjustment position, the free end 28 of the headband 5 is closer to the helmet shell 2 than in the middle and the lowermost adjustment position. The distance of the free end 28 of the headband 5 to the helmet shell 2 is thus adjustable. In all three adjustment positions, the headband 5 runs from the pivot joint 6 down. Between the top and bottom adjustment position is an adjustment of about 3 cm before. In Fig. 1 Two adjustment positions are shown, one of them in dashed lines.
  • the pivot joint 6 forms a second Kröpf kink, so that the fastening element 4 and the headband 5 together have a substantially cranked, but a two-fold angled course.
  • the bearing body 16 is attached to the headband 5, while the bearing recess 20 is located in the spacing section 11. Another number of adjustment positions is also possible, which requires a corresponding structural change of the pivot joint 6.
  • the swivel joint 6 is difficult to adjust. An adjustment of the pivot joint 6 is in particular only by a targeted manual operation reachable. An automatic adjustment of the pivot joint 6 z. B. in the creation or closing of the chinstrap does not take place.
  • an elongated latching recess 26 is formed, in which a plurality of ratchet teeth 27 protrude.
  • the ratchet teeth 27 are part of the headband 5 and sit on a bar. The bar limits the recess 26 upwards.
  • a known locking device 29 is mounted, through which the locking teeth 27 having portion of the headband 5 is guided.
  • the locking device 29 which has the locking teeth 27 in engagement locking teeth, the two headbands 5 are connected to each other at the back of the wearer.
  • the effective length of the headbands 5 is adjustable. As a result, the helmet 1 can be adapted to the respective head shape of the wearer.
  • the locking device 29 also has a contact element 30 for approximately central contact with the back of the wearer.
  • only one headband 5 is provided.
  • the two headbands 5 are then formed in one piece. A length adjustment is then not possible.
  • only one fastener 4 is present.
  • the fastening elements 4 according to the embodiment shown in the figures are then formed in one piece.
  • the headbands 5 can also be optimally adapted to carriers with braids, which has been difficult.
  • the braid can be performed outside of the helmet shell 2 outside via the locking device 29.
  • the contact element 30 of the locking device 29 can be oriented by the pivot joints 6 so that it always rests flat against the back of the wearer.
  • pivot joints 6 may also be more than the two pivot joints 6 provided in the described fixing system. These may be in the headbands 5 and / or in the spacing sections 11.
