Description

Schutzhelme sind persönliche Schutzausrüstung, welche nach dem Verwendungszweck (z.B. Sportart) der entsprechenden CE/EN (oder entsprechenden Ausländischen) Sicherheitsnorm geprüft werden. Um zu gewährleisten, dass Schutzhelme uneingeschränkt den jeweils geforderten Sicherheitsnormen entsprechen, dürfen diese Helme nachdem diese vom Hersteller in Verkehr gebracht wurden, nicht eigenmächtig verändert werden.Protective helmets are personal protective equipment which is tested for the purpose (e.g., sport) of the relevant CE / EN (or equivalent) safety standard. To ensure that helmets fully comply with the required safety standards, these helmets may not be altered without their permission once they have been placed on the market by the manufacturer.

Fremde Bauteile, Abziehbilder, Lackierungen - können die Materialien und Konstruktion nachteilig beeinflussen und somit die Sicherheit beinträchtigen. Um den individuellen Bedürfnisse von Benutzern in Funktion und Farbe nachzukommen, werden Helme in vielfältigsten - und im Wesentlichen unveränderlichen - Varianten angeboten. Eine nachträgliche Anpassung an die individuellen Bedürfnisse, insbesondere in Farben und Funktion, ist nicht vorgesehen.Foreign components, decals, coatings - can adversely affect the materials and construction and thus impair safety. In order to meet the individual needs of users in function and color, helmets are offered in a variety of - and essentially immutable - variants. A subsequent adaptation to individual needs, especially in colors and function, is not provided.

Zur Lagefixierung der Abschlusselemente weisen diese zudem einen Zapfen 63 auf, der in eine Vertiefung 64 in der Helmschale 1 eingreift. Dadurch können die Abschlusselemente 6, 61 nicht auf der Helmschale herumrutschen.For this purpose, a magnet 62 is arranged in the end elements 6, 61, which corresponds to a magnet, not shown here, arranged in or under the helmet shell 1. For fixing the position of the end elements, these also have a pin 63 which engages in a recess 64 in the helmet shell 1. As a result, the end elements 6, 61 can not slip around on the helmet shell.

Figur 5 zeigt die Seitenansicht eines Helmes mit einem Schmuckelement 3 auf jeder Helmseite und dazwischen angeordneten Lüftungsöffnungen 2. FIG. 5 shows the side view of a helmet with a decorative element 3 on each helmet side and between them arranged ventilation openings. 2

Figur 6 zeigt den Helm entsprechend Figur 5 mit einer Regenabdeckung 7 als flächigem Element. Die Regenabdeckung 7 ist an den beiden Schmuckelementen 3 befestigt und verhindert das Eindringen von Wasser in die Lüftungsöffnungen 2. FIG. 6 shows the helmet accordingly FIG. 5 with a rain cover 7 as a planar element. The rain cover 7 is attached to the two decorative elements 3 and prevents the ingress of water into the ventilation openings. 2

Figur 7 zeigt einen Helm mit einer Regenabdeckung 7 als flächigem Element. Die Regenabdeckung 7 weist zudem einen Aufdruck mit einem roten Kreuz auf, wodurch Rettungskräfte aus der Luft besser erkennbar sind. FIG. 7 shows a helmet with a rain cover 7 as a planar element. The rain cover 7 also has a print with a red cross on, which rescue workers from the air are better visible.

Figur 8 zeigt ein Schmuckelement mit einer Fahne 8. Die Fahne kann für Werbezwecke aber auch als Designelement verwendet werden. Die Fahne 8 besteht aus textilem Material und umgreift das Schmuckelement 3 und steht von diesem ab. FIG. 8 shows a decorative element with a flag 8. The flag can also be used for advertising purposes as a design element. The flag 8 is made of textile material and surrounds the jewelry element 3 and stands from this.
