Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Blendschutzsystem für einen Sturzhelm mit einer äußeren und einer inneren Helmschale, der eine Sichtöffnung aufweist, die teilweise von einer Sonnenblende abdeckbar ist, wobei die Sonnenblende an handelsüblichen Sturzhelmen nachrüstbar und so anordenbar ist, dass die Sonnenblende bei entspannter etwa vertikaler Kopfhaltung des Helmträgers oberhalb einer horizontalen Sichtlinie und außerhalb eines vertikalen Sichtfeldes angeordnet ist, wobei die Sonnenblende durch Vorneigen des Kopfes des Helmträgers in das vertikale Sichtfeld hineinschwenkbar ist.The invention relates to a glare protection system for a helmet with an outer and an inner helmet shell, the one Has viewing opening, partially from a sun visor can be covered, with the sun visor on commercially available Helmets can be retrofitted and arranged so that the sun visor when the head is relaxed and vertical Helmet wearer above a horizontal line of sight and outside a vertical field of view is arranged, the Sun visor by tilting the head of the helmet wearer in the vertical field of view can be swiveled in.

Sturzhelme bzw. Schutzhelme insbesondere für Motorrad- oder Schneemobilfahrer bestehen in der Regel aus einer äußeren harten und einer inneren, verformbaren und stoßdämpfenden Helmschale. Als Integralhelme bezeichnete Ausführungen weisen eine Sicht- bzw. Visieröffnung auf, die nach unten hin durch einen Kinnschutz begrenzt wird und die von einem an Drehachsen beiderseits der Sichtöffnung beweglichen Visier aus transparentem Material verschlossen werden kann, um die Augen gegen den Fahrtwind, Staub, aufprallende Insekten etc. zu schützen. Auch sind sogenannte Jethelme bekannt, deren Sichtöffnung in einem in vertikaler Richtung unteren Bereich offen ist. Diese Helme werden mit und ohne Visier angeboten.Crash helmets or protective helmets especially for motorcycle or Snowmobilers usually consist of an outer hard and an inner, deformable and shock-absorbing Helmet shell. Designs referred to as full face helmets a sight opening on the bottom is limited by a chin guard and that from one Rotating axes movable visor on both sides of the viewing opening can be closed from transparent material to the Eyes against the wind, dust, bouncing insects etc. to protect. So-called open face helmets are also known Viewing opening in a lower area in the vertical direction is open. These helmets are offered with and without a visor.

Bei tiefstehender Sonne sowie Gegenlicht bei Dunkelheit ist die Akkomodation des menschlichen Auges nicht in der Lage schnell und wirkungsvoll genug zu adaptieren. Als Folge kann es zu schmerzhafter Blendung der Augen und zu vorzeitiger Ermüdung des Fahrers bzw. Helmträgers kommen. Während bei Blendung sehr schnell ein wirksamer Blendschutz erzielt werden muss, ist es in dunklen Phasen wichtig, dass möglichst viel Licht das Auge des Fahrers erreicht. When the sun is low and backlighting is in the dark the accommodation of the human eye is unable to adapt quickly and effectively enough. As a result it causes painful glare to the eyes and premature fatigue of the driver or helmet wearer. While in glare effective glare protection can be achieved very quickly it is important in dark phases that as much as possible Light reaches the driver's eye.

Aus der JP 11 050 326 A ist eine Sonnenblende bzw. ein Blendschutzsystem für einen Sturzhelm bekannt, der eine Sichtöffnung aufweist, die von einem Visier abgedeckt ist. Die Sonnenblende ist dabei im oberen Bereich des Visiers angeordnet. Sie wird dabei aus einem dünnen Material ausgeschnitten, auf einer Seite mit Kleber bestrichen und gegen das Visier geklebt. Dabei kann die Sonnenblende so angeordnet werden, dass sie bei entspannter, etwa vertikaler Kopfhaltung des Helmträgers, oberhalb einer horizontalen Sichtlinie und außerhalb eines vertikalen Sichtfeldes angeordnet ist. Die Sonnenblende kann dabei durch Vorneigen des Kopfes des Helmträgers in das vertikale Sichtfeld hineingeschwenkt werden.JP 11 050 326 A is a sun visor or a glare protection system known for a helmet that has a viewing opening has, which is covered by a visor. The sun visor is arranged in the upper area of the visor. It is cut out of a thin material coated with glue on one side and glued against the visor. The sun visor can be arranged so that when the helmet wearer is in a relaxed, approximately vertical head position, above a horizontal line of sight and outside a vertical field of view is arranged. The sun visor can by tilting the head of the helmet wearer into the vertical field of vision.

Nachteilig bei der bekannten Sonnenblende ist, dass die Sonnenblende in ihren Abmessungen auf des jeweilige Visier abgestimmt sein muss, was eine universelle Verwendung für die meisten handelsüblichen Helme erschwert. Nach dem Aufkleben der Sonnenblende auf das Visier, ist eine Auswechselbarkeit bzw. Veränderung der Sonnenblende nicht mehr gegeben. Durch das Aufkleben der Sonnenblende können sich zudem die Helmeigenschaften verändern, so dass es Probleme mit den Zulassungszertifikaten der Helme geben kann.A disadvantage of the known sun visor is that the sun visor their dimensions matched to the respective visor must be what a universal use for that most commercial helmets difficult. After sticking the sun visor on the visor is interchangeable change of the sun visor no longer exists. By sticking the sun visor can also change the helmet properties change so that there are problems with the registration certificates who can give helmets.

Aus der G 83 33 346.0 U1 ist ein Sturzhelm mit einer äußeren und einer inneren Helmschale bekannt, der eine von einem Visier verschließbare Sichtöffnung aufweist, die teilweise von einer Sonnenblende abdeckbar ist. Eine Blendschutzscheibe ist in eine taschenartige Ausnehmung an der Helmschale oberhalb der Sichtfeldkante einschiebbar. In Abhängigkeit von den Lichtverhältnissen kann die Blendschutzscheibe vor oder während der Fahrt nach unten in das Sichtfeld hineinverlagert werden.From the G 83 33 346.0 U1 is a helmet with an outer and an inner helmet shell known, one by a visor closable viewing opening, which is partially from a sun visor can be covered. There is an anti-glare screen in a pocket-like recess on the helmet shell above the edge of the field of vision can be inserted. Depending on the The anti-glare screen can illuminate before or during the journey down into the field of vision become.

Nachteilig bei dem bekannten Blendschutz ist, dass in den Sturzhelm eine entsprechende Ausnehmung eingearbeitet werden muss und er dadurch nicht universell nachrüstbar ist. Eine entsprechende Aufnahmetasche und eine für die Verstellung notwendige Verstelleinrichtung ist zudem aufwendig und relativ teuer. Auch kann eine individuelle Anpassung während der Fahrt zu Unaufmerksamkeit des Fahrers mit entsprechender Gefährdung führen.A disadvantage of the known glare protection is that in the Helmet an appropriate recess can be incorporated must and it is therefore not universally retrofittable. A appropriate storage bag and one for adjustment necessary adjustment device is also complex and relative expensive. Also an individual adjustment during the Drive to the driver's inattention with the corresponding danger to lead.

Aus der DE 35 17 411 A1 ist eine Sonnenblende bekannt, die im oberen Sichtbereich eines Schutzhelmvisiers lösbar befestigt ist.From DE 35 17 411 A1 a sun visor is known which in upper field of view of a protective helmet visor releasably attached is.

Nachteilig bei diesem bekannten Blendschutz ist, dass zum einen nur Helme mit dafür bestimmten Schutzhelmvisieren nachträglich mit dem Sonnenblendenteil versehen werden können und zum anderen, dass bei diesem Teil 20 bis 70 % der Fläche der Visierscheibe bedeckt werden. Dies bedeutet, dass wie angegeben, beispielsweise bei Tunnelfahrten das Visier angehoben werden muss, damit sich die Sichtverhältnisse in einem Tunnel entsprechend verbessern.The disadvantage of this known glare protection is that, on the one hand only helmets with special protective helmet visors can be provided with the sun visor part and on the other hand, that in this part 20 to 70% of the area of the Visor screen to be covered. This means that as stated, for example, the visor is raised when driving in tunnels must be so that the visibility in a tunnel improve accordingly.

Weiterhin ist aus der EP 0 590 255 A1 ein Sturzhelm bekannt, der ein an der äußeren Helmschale gelagertes Zusatzvisier als Sonnenblende aufweist. Das Zusatzvisier ist über ein in einer Längsnut geführtes Bedienelement aus einer ersten, die Sichtöffnung freigebenden Stellung, in eine zweite, die Sichtöffnung teilweise abdeckenden Stellung, verschiebbar.Furthermore, a helmet is known from EP 0 590 255 A1, which is an additional visor mounted on the outer helmet shell as Has sun visor. The additional visor is over one in one Longitudinal groove guided control element from a first, the viewing opening releasing position, in a second, the viewing opening partially covering position, movable.

Nachteilig auch bei dieser bekannten Konstruktion ist, dass der Fahrer für die Betätigung des Bedienelementes bzw. des Schwenkmechanismus mind. eine Hand vom Lenker nehmen muss, und dies gerade zu einem Zeitpunkt, der der vollen Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers bedarf. Zudem ist es schwierig, während der Fahrt mit einer behandschuhten Hand einen Schwenkmechanismus zu bedienen. Bei Einsetzen der Dunkelheit muss ein solcher Blendschutz aus der Sichtlinie entfernt werden. Weiterhin nachteilig ist, dass der Fahrer nicht schnell genug auf wechselnde Lichtverhältnisse reagieren kann. Ein solcher Sturzhelm bedarf zudem eines hohen konstruktiven Aufwands und ist dadurch relativ teuer. Auch kann es durch vorstehende Kanten des Bedienelementes zu Windgeräuschen am Helm kommen. A disadvantage of this known construction is that the driver for operating the control element or Swivel mechanism must remove at least one hand from the handlebar, and just at a time of full attention the driver needs. It is also difficult during a swivel mechanism while driving with a gloved hand to use. When darkness sets in a must such glare protection can be removed from the line of sight. Farther the disadvantage is that the driver is not fast enough can react to changing lighting conditions. Such a A helmet also requires a lot of construction and is therefore relatively expensive. It can also be done by the above Edges of the control element will cause wind noise on the helmet.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Sonnenblende zu schaffen, die einfach zu montieren ist und die universell nachrüstbar bzw. austauschbar ist.The object of the present invention is a sun visor to create that is easy to assemble and universal can be retrofitted or exchanged.

Durch seine erfindungsgemäße Anordnung kann das Blendschutzsystem permanent installiert sein ohne sich bei Dunkelheit nachteilig bemerkbar zu machen. Für die volle Nutzung des Blendschutzes muss der Fahrer während der Fahrt keine Hand mehr vom Lenker nehmen oder gar die Fahrt unterbrechen. Um bei Dämmerung oder Dunkelheit optimale Sicht zu gewährleisten muss das Blendschutzsystem nicht entfernt oder in irgendeiner Weise manuell betätigt werden. Bei Verwendung des Blendschutzsystems erhöht sich weder für den Helmträger.bzw. Fahrer spürbar das Schutzhelmgewicht, noch werden zusätzliche Windgeräusche erzeugt. Das Blendschutzsystem ist zur Steigerung der Blendschutzwirkung bei gleißendem Gegenlicht mit allen bekannten Blendschutzeinrichtungen mindestens in Teilen kombinierbar. Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass bei hellem Licht und hochstehender Sonne durch den vom Blendschutzsystem geworfenen Schlagschatten das Auge bereits so deutlich entlastet wird, dass z. B. das Tragen einer Sonnenbrille in diesen Fällen nicht mehr notwendig ist. Das erfindungsgemäße Blendschutzsystem benötigt keinen hohen konstruktiven Aufwand und ist relativ kostengünstig zu installieren. Lediglich durch Neigen des Kopfes nach vorn bringt der Helmträger die Sonnenblende in sein vertikales Sichtfeld. Ein Kopfneigen erfolgt dabei reflektorisch.Due to its arrangement according to the invention, the anti-glare system be permanently installed without getting in the dark to make it noticeable. For the full use of the The driver does not have to have a hand to protect against glare take more of the handlebars or even interrupt the journey. Around to ensure optimal visibility at dusk or in the dark does not need to remove the anti-glare system or in any Way manually operated. When using the anti-glare system increases neither for the helmet wearer. driver the protective helmet weight is noticeable, yet additional ones Wind noise generated. The anti-glare system is to increase the anti-glare effect with glaring backlight with everyone known anti-glare devices at least in parts combined. An additional advantage of the invention is in that in bright light and high sun through the drop shadows cast by the anti-glare system is already so clearly relieved that z. B. wearing one Sunglasses in these cases are no longer necessary. The anti-glare system according to the invention does not require a high level construction effort and is relatively inexpensive to install. Simply by tilting your head forward the helmet wearer brings the sun visor into its vertical Field of view. The head is tilted reflectively.

Dadurch, dass das Blendschutzsystem bzw. die Sonnenblende an unterschiedlichen handelsüblichen Sturzhelmen nachrüstbar ist, können die Sturzhelme kostengünstig gestaltet werden. Das Blendschutzsystem ist sowohl bei Integralhelmen als auch bei Jethelmen nachrüstbar. Die Nachrüstung kann dabei ohne konstruktive Veränderungen der handelsüblichen Sturzhelme und ohne Werkzeug schnell und einfach durchgeführt werden. Durch das Anordnen des einen Blendschutzmoduls zwischen äußerer und innerer Helmschale wird eine spezielle taschenartige Ausnehmung nicht benötigt.The fact that the anti-glare system or the sun visor on can be retrofitted with different commercially available helmets is, the helmets can be designed inexpensively. The anti-glare system is both with full face helmets as well can be retrofitted at open face helmets. The retrofit can be done without constructive changes to the commercial helmets and can be carried out quickly and easily without tools. By arranging the one anti-glare module between the outer and inner helmet shell becomes a special pocket-like recess not required.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist parallel zum ersten Blendschutzmodul ein zweites Blendschutzmodul angeordnet, das zur horizontalen Sichtlinie hin das erste Blendschutzmodul überragt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention is parallel a second anti-glare module for the first anti-glare module arranged, the first to the horizontal line of sight Glare protection module towering over.

Durch die Anordnung zweier paralleler Blendschutzmodule kann der Helmträger die Blendschutzwirkung auf seine Bedürfnisse einstellen. Durch die Anordnung eines zweiten Blendschutzmoduls kann zum einen der Tönungsgrad bzw. die Blendschutzwirkung erhöht werden und zum anderen kann bei unterschiedlich breiten, d. h. sich überragenden Blendschutzmodulen eine gestufte Blendschutzwirkung erreicht werden. Durch unterschiedliche Kopfneigung kann der Helmträger die Blendschutzwirkung so in zwei Stufen regulieren.By arranging two parallel anti-glare modules the helmet wearer has the anti-glare effect on his needs to adjust. By arranging a second anti-glare module can on the one hand the degree of tint or the anti-glare effect can be increased and secondly at different broad, d. H. superior glare protection modules a tiered Anti-glare effect can be achieved. By different The helmet wearer can tilt the head to reduce glare so regulate in two stages.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Sonnenblende parallel zum zweiten Blendschutzmodul ein drittes Blendschutzmodul aufweisen. Soweit das dritte Blendschutzmodul das zweite Blendschutzmodul ebenfalls überragt, lässt sich die Blendschutzwirkung in drei Stufen durch entsprechende Kopfneigung des Helmträgers regulieren. Durch den modularen Aufbau des Blendschutzsystems ist damit eine einzigartige Möglichkeit der Anpassung des Blendschutzsystems an die individuellen Bedürfnisse des Fahrers gegeben.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention can the sun visor parallel to the second anti-glare module have a third anti-glare module. So much for the third Glare protection module also surpasses the second glare protection module, the anti-glare effect can be carried out in three stages Adjust the appropriate head tilt of the helmet wearer. By the modular structure of the anti-glare system is one unique possibility to adapt the anti-glare system given to the individual needs of the driver.
