- the helmet upper shell unit has a foam core, preferably a foam core made of EPS polystyrene or expanded polystyrene or made of a foam, for example EPP polypropylene or a particle foam made of polypropylene.
- the foam core is formed separately from the upper helmet shell unit, for example by separate foaming in a separate tool, the separately formed foam core then being or being connected to the upper helmet shell unit, for example by means of adhesive and / or by means of an adhesive.
- the foam core is made directly in the helmet shell unit.
- the (helmet) shell, on which the foam core is formed, is preferably still in the shell mold half during manufacture.
- the foam core is foamed directly into the shell in the mold half, preferably the outer shell.
- in-mold process This in-mold process requires three tool halves.
- the upper helmet shell unit is preferably mirror-symmetrical along a central axis of the helmet.
- a viewing window is formed between the top area of the chin protection unit and the front area of the helmet shell unit and / or the neck unit and a self-locking locking mechanism is provided for connecting the chin protection unit to the helmet shell unit.
- the locking mechanism on the helmet shell unit has connection means for interacting with corresponding connection means of the chin protection unit.
- the connecting means of the helmet shell unit are arranged on the front of the helmet shell unit.
- the top region is formed on the edge of the chin protection unit which is adjacent to the upper shell unit and which is in the connected state. The top area is thus limited on the one hand by the peripheral edge. In another direction, the top area is limited by an offset. The top area thus runs off, in particular at an angle, to the remaining part of the chin protection unit.
- the top region tapers towards the peripheral edge.
- the top area is only provided in the end area, that is to say in an area in which the chin protection unit is provided or designed for contacting the helmet upper shell unit.
- the front area is limited by the corresponding circumferential edge of the helmet shell unit.
- a receptacle for the top area of the chin guard unit is formed from the peripheral edge in the direction away from the connected chin guard unit.
- the receptacle is designed as a funnel-shaped projection or, in short, as a funnel.
- This has an outer funnel wall, which is formed by a section of the helmet upper shell unit, more precisely its outer surface or outer wall.
- a funnel bottom wall or a funnel bottom protrudes from this outer funnel wall. On this an inner funnel wall closes diagonally.
- the outer funnel wall and the inner funnel wall both of which are connected to the funnel bottom, form a funnel-shaped receptacle. This means that the two walls diverge in a direction opposite to the funnel bottom and thus form a conical inlet funnel.
- the inside of the funnel wall is covered by a helmet shell or the like, so that a user's head does not rest against the inner funnel wall when the helmet is put on.
- a corresponding locking mechanism is provided to securely connect the chin guard unit to the helmet shell unit.
- this locking mechanism is designed as a self-locking locking mechanism. This means that a user does not have to actively operate a bolt for a lock. Rather, a clip-like closure and / or a self-engaging closure is provided.
- the locking mechanism therefore has suitable connecting means.
- connection means are provided on the helmet shell unit.
- connection means on the helmet shell or on the helmet side comprise the receptacle or the funnel.
- helmet-side connection means comprise first connection means.
- the first connecting means are designed to form a swivel joint together with first connecting means of the chin protection unit.
- the first connecting means on the helmet side are designed as bolts, axles, pins or the like.
- the corresponding first connecting means of the chin protection unit are designed accordingly as a through opening, bore, hole, groove or the like.
- the complementary connecting means are also arranged upside down, thus the through opening etc. on the helmet side and the bolt etc. on the chin guard side.
- the helmet-side first connecting means are arranged laterally on a lower front area of the neck unit, thus in the front area on a lowermost end of the helmet shell unit.
- the chin protection unit with the corresponding first connecting means is moved in the direction of the first connecting means on the helmet side. Because of the funnel-shaped design of the receptacle and the resilient design of the end regions of the chin protection unit, the top region runs along the inner funnel wall. With a further joining, the ends are spread apart and the first connecting means of the chin protection unit come together via the first helmet-side connecting means to realize a swivel joint. In this way, a first definition of the chin protection unit on the helmet shell unit is guaranteed.
- the first helmet-side connection means snap securely into the first connection center of the chin protection unit.
- the first connecting means interact magnetically. So they are the first connecting means are magnetically and / or magnetizable.
- the helmet-side connection means comprise corresponding magnetic elements and the chin protection-side connection means comprise magnetizable elements or magnets arranged in opposite poles.
- the chin protection-side connection means comprise magnetic elements and the helmet-side connection means comprise magnetizable elements or magnets arranged in opposite poles. This enables haptic and acoustic feedback of a secure connection to the user.
- the first connecting means of the chin protection unit are arranged at a position corresponding to the position of the first connecting means on the helmet side.
- the first connecting means of the chin protection unit are formed on a lowermost top area. With a corresponding design, this also results in a 3D rotary lock.
- the 3D rotary lock is not designed to be elastic in the manner of a detent spring arrangement. Rather, a connection is made using a suitable 3D contour. The connection is preferably made along one or more circumferential edges, so that a circumferential connection is realized overall.
- the 3D bolt is provided as an alternative to a resilient connection and / or in combination.
- the locking is preferably carried out by means of a 3D-shaped bolt or several 3D-shaped bolts.
- the at least one 3D bar has a curvature in the three-dimensional direction, unlike, for example, a cylindrical pin.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the swivel joint is designed as a detachable swivel joint.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the first connecting means of the chin protection unit are arranged at a position corresponding to the position of the first, helmet-side connecting means, the first connecting means of the chin protection unit being formed at a lowermost top area, so that a 3D version is also provided with a corresponding design - Twist lock results
- the connecting means and / or the 3D rotary locking device comprise a pin or bolt.
- the pin / bolt is preferably designed as a cylindrical pin.
- the chin part is rotated around the cylinder pin, i.e. it performs a 2D rotating movement, thus along a rotating plane. Due to the differently inclined surfaces of the corresponding sections intended for contact, there is also a movement along a third direction along the contacting surfaces, thus a 3D movement. There is an inclination adjustment of the outer surfaces of the upper shell and chin part when screwing in. Together with the rotary movement, the movement describes a three-dimensional process or movement process due to the inclination adjustment.
- the Rotation of the chin part takes place about a static, in particular also linear and / or horizontal axis relative to the rotation, transversely, in particular 90 ° transversely to the direction of travel of a user wearing the helmet, thus transversely to the direction of view.
- a static in particular also linear and / or horizontal axis relative to the rotation, transversely, in particular 90 ° transversely to the direction of travel of a user wearing the helmet, thus transversely to the direction of view.
- bolts and holes are arranged corresponding to this.
- a three-dimensional direction of movement - rotation plus inclination adjustment - is therefore required to lock the 3D bolt.
- the 3D bolt is designed for locking by means of three-dimensional movement or assembly direction.
- the funnel wall provided is in particular intended to compensate for any residual springs that may be present. This is done despite being caught by the swivel.
- first connection means of the chin protection unit and the corresponding first connection means of the helmet shell unit form a swivel joint in the connected state, about the axis of rotation of which the chin protection unit can be pivoted against the helmet shell unit.
- the swivel joint is designed as a detachable swivel joint.

- the top area 165 has corresponding through openings 163 for the bolts.
- An opening, more precisely the through-opening 163, is adapted to the outer contour of the bolt and, on the other hand, is slightly larger, so that a simple swivel joint 240 about an axis of rotation 241, which is formed by the bolt, can be realized when the bolt snaps into the through-opening 170.
- the chin guard unit 160 is rotated about the swivel joint 240 until the entire top region 165 engages in the funnel 170 of the front region 125.
- the other bolt engages in a second through opening 163, which functions as a second connecting means 222, of the top region 165.
- the through opening 163 is designed here as an elongated hole 163a.
- a lock is provided in the elongated hole 163a, which prevents the chin guard unit 160 from being unintentionally released from the corresponding bolt, which acts as a second connecting means 222 on the helmet side.

- Fig. 17 shows schematically a section along section line CC Fig. 16 .
- the second connection point is shown here. This has a bolt which acts as a second helmet-side connecting means 222 and projects into the funnel 170 of the front region 125 without contacting the opposite funnel wall. As in Fig. 17 shown, no connection to the chin guard unit 160 has yet been implemented at the second connection point.
- Fig. 18 shows schematically a section along section line BB Fig. 16 .
- the top area 165 of the chin guard unit 160 approaches the front area 125 of the helmet shell unit 120. Due to the offset of the top region 165 with respect to the remaining outer surface of the chin protection unit 160, the top region 165 protrudes against an inner wall 171 of the funnel 170 of the front region 125.
- the inner wall 171 acts upon contact in the manner of an inclined plane.
- the top region 165 is guided along the inner funnel wall 171 and deforms accordingly due to the elastic design, so that the top region 165 in the Funnel 170 is receivable and the first connecting means 221, 261 are engaged, in order to form the swivel joint 240.

- Tool-free assembly is carried out as follows. From below / in front, the jaw clamp is pushed over a user's jaw and thereby compressed or compressed.
- the first connecting means form the first swivel joint 240, which forms a type of hinge.
- the chin strap 160a in the end region 162 cannot expand substantially due to the internal pressure exerted on the jaw clamp.
- a residual spread is compensated for by the funnel, which also has a tolerance, preferably in a range of a few mm, preferably less than 5 mm.
- the funnel which also has a tolerance, preferably in a range of a few mm, preferably less than 5 mm.
- the magnet 199 is prevented from sticking in the wrong position by the magnetic axis of rotation from the mechanical sliding axis of the top area 165 and the front area 125 is separated. This can be found in the shell body itself, here due to the offset of the outer wall to the spring.
- the position shown represents the following state. A partial overlap remains in this position of the hole in the hinge end of the spring and the metal bolt.
- the magnet 199 still has liability. This means that the helmet can be used when it is open. In the position shown here, an ear recess of the jaw clamp 150 can be pushed approximately horizontally from the front over an ear of the wearer, without contact and thus compression. No internal pressure is applied here.
- the hinge end In a fully lowered state, the hinge end can be inserted past the axis from the front. Since the hinge hole (first connecting means 261) and the bolt already overlap here, the chin protection unit 160 can no longer fall down. This means that the helmet can also be used when unfolded, as shown here

- the bolt which acts inter alia as axis of rotation 241, projects through both walls of the chin protection unit 160 or the inner part 180 and the outer part 190, so that a snap-in connection is realized. There is still a minimal distance between the outer surface of the upper shell unit 120 and the outer surface of the chin guard unit 160.
- Fig. 27 shows schematically a section along section line BB Fig. 25 .
- the top area 165 is almost completely accommodated in the funnel 170 of the front area 125.

- a further, obliquely projecting, tab-like projection 185 is provided between a front area 184 and the two end areas 162. This is provided for engagement in through openings 163 of the outer part 190.
- the tab-like second projections or projections 185 protrude into the through opening 163 of the outer part, so that they can be reached from the outside by a user.
- Deformation of the inner part 180, including the end regions 162, can be brought about by applying force. This initiates an opening process for releasing the chin protection unit 160 from the helmet shell unit 120.
- By pressing on the tab-like, second projections 185 a Unlatching at the second connection point, ie the second connection means 222, 262.
- the inner part 180 represents an inner bolt component of the chin guard unit 160.
- Lever arms are attached to the inner bolt component on both sides (position 182), which are accessible from the outside through openings 163 of the outer part. Without pressure in the direction of the helmet's central axis, i.e. inwards, the lever arms sit positively with the projections 183 in the openings 163. Since these are also connected via a central web (at position 184), the entire can only be pressed when the projections 183 are pressed on both sides at the same time Form fit released and the bolt component can be moved. Unilateral unlocking is therefore impossible.
- the unlocking movement thus also includes two directions of movement of the user with his hand, more precisely a circular path, as it corresponds to the gripping movement of a hand, but can hardly be generated by an impact when the bolt is externally affected, especially since the direction is oriented counter to the direction of travel. In contrast, the best way to release the form fit is with one force and one counterforce from one hand. Unlocking by a one-sided unlocking process is also excluded here.
- a magnet 199 is attached to each side of the bolt component behind each jaw opening 182, which engages around the bolt of the main shell or the outer part 190.
- the wearer of the helmet applies a force to the Bolt component, which exceeds the difference of the magnetic holding forces, the entire bolt swings forward and remains permanently attached to the magnet of the mechanism 195. In this way it is ensured that the index is only visible to the wearer in the closed position (signaled closed and locked), but not in the open state if the bolt is not present in the openings.
- the inner part 180 is thus arranged such that it can be moved relative to the outer part 190 on the chin protection unit 160.
- a front area 194 of the inner part 180 interacts with the spring and / or magnet mechanism 195 such that a magnet of the mechanism 195 attracts the front area 194 as soon as the formations 185 with the corresponding openings 163 in the outer part 190 are released from positive engagement is.
- Fig. 30 shows the chin protection unit 160 schematically in a partially sectioned perspective view Fig. 25 in isolation.
- the chin guard unit 160 is formed in two parts with the inner part 180 and the outer part 190.
- the jaw-like openings 182 each encompass a bolt which acts as a second, helmet-side connecting means 222.
- the second projections or projections 185 engage in the through openings 163.
- the two of them Front part 184 connecting end regions 162 contacts a spring and / or magnetic mechanism 195 of the corresponding front region of the outer part. In this way, a haptic for secure fastening to the user can be achieved.

- the second connecting means 222, 262 has been completely connected, including the engagement of the second, helmet-side connecting means 222 with the corresponding opening 182 of the inner part 180.
- Fig. 32 shows schematically a section along section line CC Fig. 31 .
- No gap is provided here between the funnel bottom 173 and the foremost region of the top region 165.
- the top area 165 lies against the funnel bottom 173.
- the bolt or the second helmet-side connecting means 222 penetrates the respective through opening of the outer part 190 and the inner part 180, so that a latching of the bolt in both parts 180, 190 is ensured.
- Fig. 33 shows schematically a section along section line BB Fig. 31 .
- Fig. 32 there is no gap between the funnel bottom 173 and the foremost part of the top region 165.
- the top region 165 lies against the funnel bottom 173 and the funnel inner wall 171.
- Fig. 34 shows schematically a section along section line AA Fig. 31 . There is no significant difference here Fig. 28 , 24th and 19th to recognize.
- the full-face helmet can be designed as any helmet.
- An embodiment as an adaptive half-shell helmet, as a full-shell helmet or the like is preferred.
- a full shell helmet is designed, for example, as a full shell helmet.
- Fully-fledged in the sense of the invention is to be understood as a helmet which has a sufficient positive fit on the head, for example by a jaw clamp. The helmet must not wobble or move relative to the head when it is on.
- the helmet shell unit is designed together with the chin protection unit as a deformation-resistant overall shell by an uninterrupted overlap of the chin protection unit and the helmet shell unit. This ensures all-round application of force to the entire joint (overlap area).
- the chin guard unit is assembled without tools, preferably with one hand and is possible when the helmet shell unit is in place.
- the full-face helmet is designed in such a way that when the force is applied from the front, which causes bulging outwards, the outer shell grips the chin guard along this contact edge and the force accordingly redirects. This is the case, for example, in the event of a frontal impact on the chin guard.
- the pressure on the jaw clamping causes the chin guard to expand.
- the groove in the upper shell is designed in a funnel shape.
- force is applied inwards, for example in the event of a side impact on the chin guard, the force is introduced into the main shell along a surface (overlap area). Due to the entanglement of the components and the formation of a total volume, the deformation properties of the upper shell also correspond to those of a regular full-shell helmet.
- the groove / receptacle in the upper shell is designed in a funnel shape. Due to the entanglement of the components and the formation of a total volume, the deformation properties of the upper shell also correspond to those of a regular full-shell helmet. Also to counteract the spreading, but also to enable the blind positioning of the chin guard, the attachment process is divided into a run-in and a final turning phase. At the initial entry point there is an axis of rotation on both sides, preferably made of steel or another comparable material, which has properties similar to steel at least in terms of strength and / or rigidity.
- the spring of the chin guard can now be screwed into the groove - against the expanding forces on the jaw clamp.
- the lock is built into the chin guard.
- There is a latch in the chin guard which can be moved by hand in the direction of travel by means of two levers that are accessible through the access openings, and which is automatically displaced by a bolt in the upper shell when retracting. This bar forms the inner part.
- a positive fit is also established in the direction of travel as the screw is turned in.
- the spring is shaped a little higher so that it lies against the inner wall of the upper shell.
- a magnet in the bolt gives haptic, like acoustic feedback when the bolt's mouth completely encloses the steel bolt of the upper shell.
- a spring element holds the bolt in the closed position.
- the central guide pin holds the spring element and guides the bolt.
- the bar is guided on the upper fork.
- a cotter pin firmly connects the latch to the chin guard, which also prevents the latch's fork from being pushed off the top shell bolt by lateral force.
- the two levers are recessed deep into the openings in the chin guard to prevent incorrect operation or triggering by falling.
- the adaptive top shell is the base for many applications in closed (chin guard) and open construction (baking, open face helmet).
- One-sided attachments are also possible (baseball helmet, microphone / earphone unit), as well as a short chin strap. This results in better handling, less leverage (e.g. with air resistance), better visibility.
- One embodiment provides a jaw construction with a volume extension, for example for attaching devices such as breathing masks or communication devices.
- An embodiment as a jet helmet provides, for example, a jaw construction (hard) with cutouts.
- the helmet is possible as a protection-optimized half-shell helmet, for example with winter sports optics, and with the option of adding earphones / earmuffs afterwards.
- the present invention enables the entry opening to be found without being visible through the funnel shape of the groove, magnets and arrangement of the magnets.
- the turning retraction takes place against an internal pressure.
- screwing in takes place without internal pressure: retraction into and fixing from the open end of the chin part on the swivel joint, the further spreading tendency (now when pressure is applied) is limited to a minimum. This is countered by the inclination of the top area mentioned below and the funnel shape of the groove (shear-in effect).
- a three-dimensional locking process is made possible by simply retracting. It can also be worn when unfolded. The swivel movement is locked.
- Operational safety is also guaranteed.
- the jaw bolt and bolt are mounted against a spring.
- the operating safety is cognitive, since a magnet system is provided for an index.
- Operational safety, in particular against external influences, is guaranteed, for example by the fact that the trigger must be carried out with two operating elements.
- the invention ensures an optimized introduction of force. This is caused by a tongue / groove overlap. This enables a continuous, homogeneous application of force to the helmet shell unit.
- an interlocking / interlocking of the cut profile can be provided. Advantages include tool-free assembly, assembly in a fitted state due to the U-shape, provision of a full-fledged full-face helmet by means of a jaw clamp. This can be tied to a carrier.
- Optimized impact protection is also guaranteed. This is achieved through a suitable choice of materials. This is ensured by a shock absorbing material.
- the helmet poses a full volume ready. The force is applied over the overlap area and is therefore more homogeneous than with known solutions.
- the full-face helmet meets the motorcycle standards impact / front, although tool-free installation is possible when the helmet is on. Due to the complex, three-dimensional movement sequence, an embodiment of a tool-free assembly is described below, in particular when the helmet is on.
- the chin part is brought closer to the upper shell from the front.
- the pad has a pad recess in the ear area.
- the padding in the ear area means there is no contact between the face and the pad on the drive-in path.
- the chin part is brought into contact with the upper shell.
- the joint ends of the chin part meet the upper shell.
- In the articulated ends of the upper shell there are steel bolts or metal bolts, or bolts made of another material, in particular with magnetic or magnetizable parts, which correspond and interact with magnets inserted in the articulated ends of the chin part.
- the surface itself is designed like a large joint socket.
- the offset to the inwardly offset surface, which will later enter the upper shell is in the form of a quarter circle.
- the large diameter of the turning circle section also makes it much easier to find the area.
- the spring of the chin part which is designed to interact with the groove, engages at the point at which the joint end is already in the funnel-shaped groove in the foam body the upper shell is located. Due to the lack of upholstery contact, this is still completely force / tension free.
- the surfaces of the upper shell and the chin part at the point or at the point of the articulation axis still have very different surface orientations due to their rotated position relative to one another.
- the surfaces are crooked.
- the screwing in follows.
- the padding in the chin section collides with the wearer's face for the first time and is compressed when it is screwed in further. Since the U-shaped chin part as an individual part is already gripped by the groove of the outer shell at the joint ends, and is thus connected to the rest of the helmet, this cannot spread out due to the force of the cushion restoring forces.
- the alignments or the surfaces continue to adjust until a continuous volume is created in the closed state and the surface slopes at the parting line are aligned identically, at least almost identically.
- the spring at the fulcrum approaches the outer shell from the inside as it is screwed in. In this way, the bolt inserted in the joint end of the upper shell continues to move into the hole in the joint end of the chin part until the shells contact.
- the tongue of the chin part continuously shears into the circumferential groove of the upper shell. Accordingly, the restoring force of the cushion is always counteracted as close as possible to the point at which the force is applied.
- the groove is designed funnel-shaped all around in order to also be able to catch a spring section which approaches in an offset manner.
- the inclination of the tongue and groove shear surfaces improves the sliding properties when retracting. The remaining attachment via the fasteners is described so far.
- a magnet is provided for a better initial finding of the swivel joint. With the help of the magnet on the swivel joint and the joint head-in-joint socket-like outer shell shape of the upper shell and chin part, the initial finding in a quarter circle on the swivel joint is easy.

Die Erfindung schließt die technische Lehre ein, dass bei einem Integralhelm, insbesondere einem sogenannten Fullfacehelm, der vorzugsweise in Schalenbauweise ausgeführt ist, umfassend eine Helmoberschaleneinheit mit einer integrierten Nackeneinheit und eine Kinnschutzeinheit und mit einer Backenklemmung, wobei die Kinnschutzeinheit lösbar mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit zur Ausbildung des Integralhelms verbindbar ist, wobei die Kinnschutzeinheit als offene Kinnbügeleinheit mit voneinander beabstandeten Endbereichen zur Anbindung an die Nackeneinheit ausgebildet ist, sodass im zusammengebauten Zustand die Endbereiche zusammen mit der Nackeneinheit eine vollumfängliche geschlossene Einheit bilden, wobei zwischen einem Topbereich der Kinnschutzeinheit und einem Frontbereich der Helmoberschaleneinheit und/oder der Nackeneinheit ein Sichtfenster ausgebildet ist und ein selbstarretierender Verriegelungsmechanismus zur Verbindung der Kinnschutzeinheit mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit vorgesehen ist, wobei der Verriegelungsmechanismus an der Helmoberschaleneinheit Verbindungsmittel zum Zusammenwirken mit korrespondierenden Verbindungsmitteln der Kinnschutzeinheit aufweist, wobei die Verbindungsmittel der Helmoberschaleneinheit an dem Frontbereich der Helmoberschaleneinheit angeordnet sind, wobei zumindest das erste Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit und das dazu korrespondierende erste Verbindungsmittel der Helmoberschaleneinheit im verbundenen Zustand ein Drehgelenk ausbilden, um dessen Drehachse die Kinnschutzeinheit gegen die Helmoberschaleneinheit verschwenkbar ist, vorgesehen ist, dass die helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel entsprechende Magnetelemente und die kinnschutzseitigen Verbindungsmittel magnetisierbare Elemente oder gegenpolig angeordnete Magnete oder die kinnschutzseitigen Verbindungsmittel Magnetelemente und die helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel magnetisierbare Elemente oder gegenpolig angeordnete Magnete umfassen.The invention includes the technical teaching that in the case of an integral helmet, in particular a so-called full-face helmet, which is preferably designed in a shell construction, comprising a helmet shell unit with an integrated neck unit and a chin protection unit and with a jaw clamp, the chin protection unit being detachable with the helmet shell unit for forming the Integral helmet is connectable, the chin guard unit being designed as an open chin guard unit with spaced end areas for connection to the neck unit, so that in the assembled state the end areas together with the neck unit form a completely closed unit, with a top area of the chin guard unit and a front area of the helmet shell unit and / or the neck unit is provided with a viewing window and a self-locking locking mechanism is provided for connecting the chin protection unit to the helmet shell unit The locking mechanism on the helmet shell unit has connection means for interacting with corresponding connection means of the chin protection unit, the connection means of the helmet shell unit being arranged on the front region of the helmet shell unit, wherein at least the first connection means of the chin protection unit and the corresponding first connection means of the helmet shell unit are in the connected state Form swivel, about the axis of rotation of which the chin protection unit can be pivoted against the helmet shell unit, it is provided that the helmet-side connection means comprise corresponding magnetic elements and the chin protection-side connection means magnetizable elements or magnets arranged in opposite poles or the chin protection-side connection means magnetic elements and the helmet-side connection means magnetizable elements or magnets arranged in opposite poles.
Ein Integralhelm, insbesondere ein sogenannter Fullfacehelm, der vorzugsweise in Schalenbauweise ausgeführt ist, umfassend eine Helmoberschaleneinheit, insbesondere eine einteilige Helmoberschaleneinheit, mit einer integrierten Nackeneinheit und eine Kinnschutzeinheit und mit einer Backenklemmung, wobei die Kinnschutzeinheit lösbar mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit zur Ausbildung des Integralhelms verbindbar ist, wobei die Kinnschutzeinheit als offene Kinnbügeleinheit mit voneinander beabstandeten Endbereichen, insbesondere alleine ohne Anbindung an die Helmoberschaleneinheit federnd ausgebildeten Endbereichen, zur Anbindung an die Nackeneinheit ausgebildet ist, sodass im zusammengebauten Zustand die Endbereiche zusammen mit der Nackeneinheit eine vollumfängliche geschlossene Einheit bilden, wobei ein Verriegelungsmechanismus vorgesehen ist, um die Kinnschutzeinheit mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit sicher zu verbinden, wobei der Verriegelungsmechanismus geeignete Verbindungsmittel aufweist, wobei einige Verbindungsmittel an der Helmoberschaleneinheit vorgesehen sind und korrespondierende Verbindungsmittel an der Kinnschutzeinheit vorgesehen sind, wobei die helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel entsprechende Magnetelemente und die kinnschutzseitigen Verbindungselemente magnetisierbare Elemente oder gegenpolig angeordnete Magnete aufweisen und/oder die kinnschutzseitigen Verbindungselemente und die helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel magnetisierbare Elemente oder gegenpolig angeordnete Magnete aufweisen und/oder der Verriegelungsmechanismus Arretiermittel zum Arretieren der Verbindung der Kinnschutzeinheit und der Helmoberschaleneinheit aufweist, wobei die Arretiermittel eine Magneteinheit oder mehrere Magneteinheiten vorsehen, die zumindest teilweise in die Verbindungsmittel integriert oder als separate Magnete oder Magneteinheiten vorgesehen sind und/oder das zwischen einem Topbereich der Kinnschutzeinheit und einem Frontbereich der Helmoberschaleneinheit und/oder der Nackeneinheit ein Sichtfenster ausgebildet ist, wobei der Frontbereich und der Topbereich jeweils einen Überlappungsbereich aufweisen, die miteinander korrespondieren und mit dem im verbundenen Zustand die Kinnschutzeinheit an der Helmoberschaleneinheit zumindest teilweise überlappend anliegt, wobei die Überlappungsbereiche Führungsmittel aufweisen, um eine Verbindung der Kinnschutzeinheit mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit zu erleichtern, wobei an dem Topbereich und/oder an dem Frontbereich ein Magnet oder mehrere Magnete vorgesehen sind. Der Integralhelm weist eine Backenklemmung auf. Die Backenklemmung ist in einer Ausführungsform an der Helmoberschaleneinheit angeordnet. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Backenklemmung an der Kinnschutzeinheit ausgebildet. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist die Backenklemmung sowohl an der Helmoberschaleneinheit und an der Kinnschutzeinheit angeordnet. Die Backenklemmung kann hierzu vorzugsweise zwei- oder mehrteilig ausgeführt sein. In einer Ausführung, in welcher die Backenklemmung an der Helmoberschaleneinheit angeordnet ist, ist der Helm als sogenannter Jethelm ausgeführt, also einer Halbschale mit Backenklemmung. In dieser Ausführung weist die Kinnschutzeinheit keine Polsterung auf. Die Kinnschutzeinheit ist in dieser Ausführung steifer ausführbar bzw. ausgeführt, da eine Spreizung aufgrund einer Backenklemmung entfällt. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist der Helm als Jethelm ausgebildet und die Backenklemmung ist an dem Kinnteil angebracht. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist der Helm als Jethelm, insbesondere als Halbschalenhelm für einen erweiterten Ohrenschutz ausgebildet. Diese Ausführungsform weist lediglich eine Hartschalen-Ohrenüberdeckung auf. Bevorzugt ist die Backenklemmung einteilig ausgeführt. Die einteilige Backenklemmung ist bevorzugt an der Kinnschutzeinheit angeordnet. Hierzu ist die Kinnschutzeinheit elastisch ausgebildet, sodass eine Spreizung aufgrund einer Backenklemmung beim Aufsetzen des Helms auf einen Kopf erfolgen kann. Unter einer Spreizung im Sinne dieser Erfindung wird insbesondere auch eine Vergrößerung eines Innenvolumens verstanden, insbesondere so, dass sich eine äußere Kontur bzw. ein äußeres Abmaß nicht verändert. Es erfolgt somit in einer Ausführung keine Aufweitung der gesamten Einheit. Die Backenklemmung stellt somit eine Vorrichtung dar, bei welcher Rückstellkräfte eines Polsters der Backenklemmung entgegen der Gegenkraft des Gesichts eines Benutzers einerseits und gegen die Helmaußenwandung andererseits wirken. Hierdurch wird ein Reib-/Kraftschluss bewirkt, insbesondere zwischen Gesicht, hier genauer den Wangen des Benutzers, und Polster bzw. Backenklemmung, welcher sowohl den Vorgang einer Backenklemmung, also eines Klemmens der Wangen, als auch die Backenklemmeinheit oder -vorrichtung selbst ergibt. In einer Ausführungsform ist deshalb vorgesehen, dass eine Kinnschutzeinheit vorgesehen ist, in welche ein eingebrachtes Polster elastisch und mit einer hohen Rückstellkraft ausgebildet, wobei die Rückstellkraft so ausgebildet ist, dass diese eine Komprimierung des Polsters bei einem Aufsetzen des Helms zulässt und in einem aufgesetztem Zustand ein zur Fixierung des Helms ausreichend großen Kraftschluss zwischen Kinnschutzeinheit und Gesicht des Benutzers bewirkt. Auf diese Weise wird eine Art einer Backenklemmung bewirkt. In anderen Ausführungsform ist ein verstellbares Polster ausgeführt. Das verstellbare Polster weist in einer Ausführungsform Mittel zur Vergrößerung eines Polstervolumens auf, beispielsweise durch aufblasbare Elemente. In anderen Ausführungsformen ist ein Verstellmechanismus vorgesehen, mit dem sich das Polster entsprechend beweglich relativ zu der Kinnschutzeinheit bzw. dem Helm und/oder dem Gesicht anordnen lässt. Vorzugsweise sind die Helmoberschaleneinheit und die Kinnschutzeinheit sowie die entsprechenden Verbindungsmittel hierfür derart ausgebildet, dass eine Aufspreizung der Kinnschutzeinheit minimiert ist bzw. gänzlich verhindert ist. Dies wird dadurch bewirkt, dass eine Fixierung der Endbereiche an einem entsprechenden Drehgelenk der Helmoberschaleneinheit vorgesehen ist. Das Drehgelenk und die Backenklemmung bzw. auch die Kinnschutzeinheit und die Helmoberschaleneinheit sind derart ausgebildet, dass ein Kontakt zwischen der Backenklemmung und dem Gesicht/Kopf eines Benutzers erst nach einer Kontaktierung bzw. Fixierung der Endbereich mit den entsprechenden Verbindungsmitteln/Drehgelenken an der Helmoberschale erfolgt, zumindest bei sachgerechter Bedienung. Die Versteifung der Endbereiche insbesondere in den Bereichen zwischen den Einrasteinrichtungen und den Stellen, an denen die Endbereiche an der Oberschale anliegen sind durch Profilausbildungen und örtliche Materialverstärkungen zusätzlich versteift, um ein Lösen der Rastverbindungen durch Krafteinwirkung zu verhindern bzw. unmöglich zu machen. Die Nackeneinheit ist einteilig mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit ausgebildet. Dabei ist die Nackeneinheit bevorzugt zentral an einem rückwärtigen Bereich, somit an einer gegenüber eines Sichtfensters liegenden Seite der Helmoberschaleneinheit angeordnet. Die Nackeneinheit ragt dabei an einem unteren Ende der Helmoberschaleneinheit als Vorsprung oder nach Art eines Lappens von der Helmoberschaleneinheit hervor. Der Nackenbereich bildet an einer vorderen Seite zusammen mit einer vorderen Seite der Helmoberschaleneinheit einen Frontbereich aus, der zur Aufnahme eines korrespondierenden Bereichs der Kinnschutzeinheit ausgebildet ist. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist der Nackenbereich lösbar mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit verbunden. Der Nackenbereich ist einer anderen Ausführungsform lösbar mit der Kinnschutzeinheit ausgebildet. In einer Ausführungsform ist der Nackenbereich lösbar mit der Kinnschutzeinheit und der Helmoberschaleneinheit ausgebildet. Bevorzugt ist die Nackeneinheit fest mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit ausgebildet. Jeder Endbereich wird mit der Nackeneinheit bzw. mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit, mithin mit dem Frontbereich verbunden. Dabei wird ein Endbereich von einer Seite mit der Nackeneinheit verbunden. Der andere Endbereich wird von einer anderen, gegenüberliegenden Seite mit der Nackeneinheit verbunden. Die Nackeneinheit weist somit zwei voneinander beabstandete Aufnahmen für die Endbereiche auf. Die Aufnahmen sind bevorzugt gegenüberliegend und/oder an gegenüberliegenden Seiten ausgebildet. Dabei sind die Aufnahmen und die Endbereiche aufeinander für ein einfaches Aufnehmen abgestimmt. Bevorzugt sind die Aufnahmen und die Endbereiche zumindest teilweise komplementär ausgebildet. Die Helmoberschaleneinheit ist in einer Ausführungsform aus mehreren Schalen ausgeführt, beispielsweise einer Oberschale und einer Unterschale oder einer Außenschale und einer Innenschale. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist lediglich eine Schale vorgesehen. Wiederum andere Ausführungsformen sehen mehrere Schalen vor, beispielsweise eine Zwischenschale oder mehrere Zwischenschalen. In einer Ausführungsform sind zumindest die Ober- und die Unterschale bzw. sind zumindest zwei Schalen in Volllaminatbauweise ausgeführt. Hierzu ist als Material für die Schalen oder für zumindest eine der Schalen GFK, also ein Glasfaserverstärkter Kunststoff, vorgesehen. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist als Material für die Schalen oder zumindest eine Schale CFK, also ein Kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Kunststoff vorgesehen. Wiederum eine andere Ausführungsform sieht vor, das als Material für zumindest eine der Schalen CFK + Kevlar, also ein Kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Kunststoff mit einem Zusatz von Kevlar, d.h. einem Aramid, genauer einem langkettigen synthetischen Polyamid, bei dem mindestens 85 % der Amidgruppen direkt an zwei aromatische Ringe gebunden ist, vorgesehen ist. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist die Helmoberschaleneinheit in einer Mischbauweise hergestellt. Hierbei ist in einer Außenschale, die vorzugsweise tiefgezogen und/oder spritzgeformt ist oder wird, innen zumindest partiell eine Laminatverstärkung eingebracht. Als Material für die Außenschale oder auch eine andere Schale ist ABS, also AcrylnitrilButadien-Styrol, vorgesehen. Die Laminatverstärkung ist aus einem beliebigen Material hergestellt, vorzugsweise aus GFK, CFK oder CFK plus Aramid. Zudem weist die Helmoberschaleneinheit einen Schaumkern auf, vorzugsweise einen Schaumkern aus EPS - Polystyrol oder expandiertes Polystyrol - oder aus einem Schaumstoff, beispielsweise EPP - Polypropylen bzw. einem Partikelschaum aus Polypropylen. Der Schaumkern ist in einem Ausführungsbeispiel separat von der Helmoberschaleneinheit ausgebildet, beispielsweise durch separates Schäumen in einem gesonderten Werkzeug, wobei der separat ausgebildet Schaumkern dann mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit verbunden ist bzw. wird, beispielsweise mittels Kleben und/oder mittels eines Klebemittels. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist der Schaumkern direkt in der Helmoberschaleneinheit hergestellt. Die (Helm-)Schale, an welcher der Schaumkern ausgebildet ist, liegt bevorzugt bei der Herstellung noch in der Schalenwerkzeughälfte. Der Schaumkern wird direkt in der in der Werkzeughälfte liegenden Schale, bevorzugt die Außenschale, eingeschäumt. Man spricht hier auch von einem sogenannten In-Mold-Verfahren. Bei diesem In-Mold-Verfahren werden drei Werkzeughälften benötigt bzw. verwendet. Die Helmoberschaleneinheit ist bevorzugt spiegelsymmetrisch entlang einer Helmmittelachse ausgebildet.An integral helmet, in particular a so-called full-face helmet, which is preferably designed in a shell construction, comprising a helmet shell unit, in particular a one-piece helmet shell unit, with an integrated neck unit and a chin protection unit and with a jaw clamp, the chin protection unit being releasably connectable to the helmet shell unit to form the integral helmet, the chin guard unit as an open chin guard unit with End areas spaced apart from one another, in particular alone without connection to the helmet upper shell unit, are configured for connection to the neck unit, so that in the assembled state the end areas together with the neck unit form a completely closed unit, with a locking mechanism being provided to secure the chin guard unit with the To securely connect the helmet shell unit, the locking mechanism having suitable connection means, some connection means being provided on the helmet shell unit and corresponding connection means being provided on the chin protection unit, the helmet-side connection means having corresponding magnetic elements and the chin protection-side connection elements having magnetizable elements or magnets arranged in opposite poles and / or chin protection-side connection elements and the helmet-side connection means magnetizable elements or against have magnets arranged in poles and / or the locking mechanism has locking means for locking the connection of the chin protection unit and the helmet shell unit, the locking means providing one or more magnetic units which are at least partially integrated into the connecting means or are provided as separate magnets or magnetic units and / or that A viewing window is formed between a top area of the chin protection unit and a front area of the helmet shell unit and / or the neck unit, the front area and the top area each having an overlap area which correspond to one another and with which, in the connected state, the chin protection unit is at least partially overlapping on the helmet shell unit. wherein the overlap areas have guide means to facilitate connection of the chin guard unit to the helmet shell unit, with the top area and / or the frontber Eich a magnet or several magnets are provided. The full face helmet has a jaw clamp. In one embodiment, the jaw clamping is arranged on the upper helmet shell unit. In a preferred embodiment, the jaw clamp is formed on the chin guard unit. In another embodiment, the jaw clamp is arranged both on the upper helmet shell unit and on the chin guard unit. For this purpose, the jaw clamping can preferably be made in two or more parts. In an embodiment in which the jaw clamp is arranged on the upper helmet shell unit, the helmet is designed as a so-called open face helmet, that is to say a half-shell with jaw clamp. In this version, the chin guard unit has no padding. In this version, the chin protection unit can be made or made stiffer, since there is no spreading due to a jaw clamping. In another embodiment, the helmet is designed as a jet helmet and the jaw clamp is attached to the chin part. In another embodiment, the helmet is designed as a jet helmet, in particular as a half-shell helmet for extended ear protection. This embodiment has only one Hard shell ear coverage. The jaw clamping is preferably made in one piece. The one-piece jaw clamp is preferably arranged on the chin guard unit. For this purpose, the chin protection unit is designed to be elastic, so that spreading can occur due to jaw clamping when the helmet is placed on a head. A spread in the sense of this invention is also understood to mean in particular an enlargement of an inner volume, in particular in such a way that an outer contour or an outer dimension does not change. There is therefore no expansion of the entire unit in one embodiment. The jaw clamping thus represents a device in which the restoring forces of a cushion of the jaw clamping act on the one hand against the counterforce of the face of a user and on the other hand against the outer wall of the helmet. This results in a frictional / frictional connection, in particular between the face, more precisely the cheeks of the user, and padding or jaw clamping, which results in the process of jaw clamping, i.e. clamping the cheeks, as well as the jaw clamping unit or device itself. In one embodiment, it is therefore provided that a chin protection unit is provided, into which an inserted cushion is designed to be elastic and with a high restoring force, the restoring force being designed such that it allows the cushion to be compressed when the helmet is put on and in a fitted state a sufficiently large frictional connection between the chin protection unit and the face of the user to fix the helmet. In this way, a type of jaw clamping is brought about. In another embodiment, an adjustable cushion is implemented. In one embodiment, the adjustable cushion has means for increasing a cushion volume, for example by means of inflatable elements. In other embodiments, an adjustment mechanism is provided with which the cushion can be arranged correspondingly movably relative to the chin protection unit or the helmet and / or the face. The upper helmet shell unit and the chin protection unit and the corresponding connecting means are preferably designed in such a way that spreading of the chin protection unit is minimized or completely prevented. This is achieved in that the end regions are fixed to a corresponding swivel joint of the helmet shell unit. The swivel joint and the jaw clamp or also the chin protection unit and the helmet shell unit are designed such that contact between the jaw clamp and the face / head of a user only takes place after the end region has been contacted or fixed to the corresponding connection means / pivot joints on the helmet shell, at least with proper operation. The stiffening of the end regions, in particular in the regions between the latching devices and the points at which the end regions abut the upper shell, are additionally stiffened by profile designs and local material reinforcements in order to prevent or make it impossible to loosen the latching connections by force. The neck unit is formed in one piece with the helmet shell unit. The neck unit is preferably central arranged on a rear area, thus on a side of the helmet shell unit opposite a viewing window. The neck unit protrudes from the upper helmet shell unit at a lower end of the upper helmet shell unit as a projection or in the manner of a rag. The neck area forms a front area on a front side together with a front side of the helmet shell unit, which is designed to accommodate a corresponding area of the chin protection unit. In another embodiment, the neck area is detachably connected to the upper helmet shell unit. In another embodiment, the neck area is designed to be detachable with the chin protection unit. In one embodiment, the neck area is designed to be detachable with the chin protection unit and the helmet shell unit. The neck unit is preferably embodied in a fixed manner with the upper helmet shell unit. Each end area is connected to the neck unit or to the helmet shell unit, and consequently to the front area. An end area is connected to the neck unit from one side. The other end area is connected to the neck unit from another, opposite side. The neck unit thus has two receptacles spaced apart from one another for the end regions. The receptacles are preferably formed opposite and / or on opposite sides. The recordings and the end areas are matched to one another for easy recording. The receptacles and the end regions are preferably at least partially complementary. In one embodiment, the upper helmet shell unit is designed from a plurality of shells, for example an upper shell and a lower shell or an outer shell and an inner shell. In another embodiment, only one shell is provided. Still other embodiments provide several shells, for example one intermediate shell or several intermediate shells. In one embodiment, at least the upper and lower shells or at least two shells are made of full laminate construction. For this purpose, the material for the shells or for at least one of the shells is GFK, that is to say a glass fiber reinforced plastic. In another embodiment, the material for the shells or at least one shell is CFRP, ie a carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Yet another embodiment provides that the material for at least one of the shells CFRP + Kevlar, i.e. a carbon fiber reinforced plastic with the addition of Kevlar, i.e. an aramide, more precisely a long-chain synthetic polyamide, in which at least 85% of the amide groups are directly attached to two aromatic Rings is bound, is provided. In another embodiment, the helmet shell unit is made in a mixed construction. In this case, a laminate reinforcement is at least partially introduced on the inside in an outer shell, which is preferably deep-drawn and / or injection molded. ABS, i.e. acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, is intended as the material for the outer shell or another shell. The laminate reinforcement is made of any material made, preferably from GFK, CFK or CFK plus aramid. In addition, the helmet upper shell unit has a foam core, preferably a foam core made of EPS polystyrene or expanded polystyrene or made of a foam, for example EPP polypropylene or a particle foam made of polypropylene. In one embodiment, the foam core is formed separately from the upper helmet shell unit, for example by separate foaming in a separate tool, the separately formed foam core then being or being connected to the upper helmet shell unit, for example by means of adhesive and / or by means of an adhesive. In another embodiment, the foam core is made directly in the helmet shell unit. The (helmet) shell, on which the foam core is formed, is preferably still in the shell mold half during manufacture. The foam core is foamed directly into the shell in the mold half, preferably the outer shell. One speaks here of a so-called in-mold process. This in-mold process requires three tool halves. The upper helmet shell unit is preferably mirror-symmetrical along a central axis of the helmet.
Zwischen dem Topbereich der Kinnschutzeinheit und dem Frontbereich der Helmoberschaleneinheit und/oder der Nackeneinheit ist ein Sichtfenster ausgebildet ist und ein selbstarretierender Verriegelungsmechanismus zur Verbindung der Kinnschutzeinheit mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit vorgesehen. Der Verriegelungsmechanismus weist an der Helmoberschaleneinheit Verbindungsmittel zum Zusammenwirken mit korrespondierenden Verbindungsmitteln der Kinnschutzeinheit auf. Die Verbindungsmittel der Helmoberschaleneinheit sind an der Frontseite der Helmoberschaleneinheit angeordnet. Der Topbereich ist an der benachbart zu der Oberschaleneinheit - im verbundenen Zustand - umlaufenden Kante der Kinnschutzeinheit ausgebildet. Der Topbereich ist somit einerseits durch die umlaufende Kante begrenzt. In eine andere Richtung ist der Topbereich durch einen Versatz begrenzt. Somit verläuft der Topbereich abgesetzt, insbesondere schräg, zu dem verbleibenden Teil der Kinnschutzeinheit. In einer Ausführungsform ist der Topbereich sich verjüngend hin zu der umlaufenden Kante ausgebildet. Der Topbereich ist lediglich in dem Endbereich vorgesehen, das heißt in einem Bereich, in welchem die Kinnschutzeinheit für eine Kontaktierung der Helmoberschaleneinheit vorgesehen bzw. ausgebildet ist. Der Frontbereich ist durch die korrespondierende umlaufende Kante der Helmoberschaleneinheit begrenzt. Von der umlaufenden Kante in Richtung weg von der verbundenen Kinnschutzeinheit ist eine Aufnahme für den Topbereich der Kinnschutzeinheit ausgebildet. Die Aufnahme ist als trichterförmige Anformung oder kurz als Trichter ausgebildet. Dieser weist eine äußere Trichterwandung auf, welche durch einen Abschnitt der Helmoberschaleneinheit, genauer dessen äußerer Oberfläche bzw. äußerer Wandung, gebildet ist. Von dieser äußeren Trichterwandung ragt eine Trichterbodenwandung oder ein Trichterboden ab. An diesen schließt sich schräg eine innere Trichterwandung ab. Die äußere Trichterwandung und die innere Trichterwandung, die beide mit dem Trichterboden verbunden sind, bilden eine trichterförmige Aufnahme. Das heißt, die beiden Wandungen laufen in eine Richtung entgegengesetzt zu dem Trichterboden auseinander und bilden so einen konischen Einlauftrichter. Nach innen ist die innere Trichterwandung von einem Helmoberschalenpolster oder dergleichen abgedeckt, sodass ein Kopf eines Benutzers nicht an der inneren Trichterwandung anliegt, wenn dieser den Helm aufsetzt. Um die Kinnschutzeinheit mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit sicher zu verbinden, ist ein entsprechender Verriegelungsmechanismus vorgesehen. Dieser Verriegelungsmechanismus ist in einer Ausführungsform als selbstverriegelnder Verriegelungsmechanismus ausgebildet. Das heißt, ein Benutzer muss nicht aktiv einen Riegel für eine Verriegelung bedienen. Vielmehr ist ein clipsartiges Verschließen und/oder ein selbsteinrastendes Verschließen vorgesehen. Der Verriegelungsmechanismus weist deshalb geeignete Verbindungsmittel auf. Einige Verbindungsmittel sind an der Helmoberschaleneinheit vorgesehen. Korrespondierende Verbindungsmittel sind an der Kinnschutzeinheit vorgesehen. Die helmoberschalenseitigen oder kurz helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel umfassen zum einen die Aufnahme bzw. den Trichter. Zudem umfassen die helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel erste Verbindungsmittel. Die ersten Verbindungsmittel sind ausgebildet, um zusammen mit ersten Verbindungsmitteln der Kinnschutzeinheit, ein Drehgelenk auszubilden. Entsprechend sind die ersten helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel als Bolzen, Achse, Stift oder dergleichen ausgebildet. Die korrespondierenden ersten Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit sind entsprechend als Durchgangsöffnung, Bohrung, Loch, Nut oder dergleichen ausgebildet. In einer Ausführungsform sind die komplementären Verbindungsmittel auch umgekehrt angeordnet, somit die Durchgangsöffnung etc. helmseitig und der Bolzen etc. kinnschutzseitig. Die helmseitigen ersten Verbindungsmittel sind seitlich an einem unteren vorderen Bereich der Nackeneinheit angeordnet, somit in dem Frontbereich an einem untersten Ende der Helmoberschaleneinheit. Bei einem Zusammenfügen der Kinnschutzeinheit mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit wird die Kinnschutzeinheit mit den korrespondierenden ersten Verbindungsmitteln in Richtung erste, helmseitige Verbindungsmittel bewegt. Aufgrund der trichterförmigen Ausbildung der Aufnahme und der federnden Ausbildung der Endbereiche der Kinnschutzeinheit verläuft der Topbereich entlang der inneren Trichterwandung. Mit einem weiteren Fügen werden die Enden auseinandergespreizt und die ersten Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit gelangen über die ersten helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel zusammen zur Realisierung eines Drehgelenks. Auf diese Weise ist eine erste Festlegung der Kinnschutzeinheit an der Helmoberschaleneinheit gewährleistet. Durch das Aufspreizen der Endbereiche rasten die ersten helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel sicher in den ersten Verbindungsmitten der Kinnschutzeinheit ein. Eine Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die ersten Verbindungsmittel magnetisch zusammenwirken. Somit sind die ersten Verbindungsmittel magnetisch und/oder magnetisierbar ausgebildet. Dabei umfassen in einer Ausführungsform die helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel entsprechende Magnetelemente und die kinnschutzseitigen Verbindungsmittel magnetisierbare Elemente oder gegenpolig angeordnete Magnete. In einer anderen Ausführungsform umfassen die kinnschutzseitigen Verbindungsmittel Magnetelemente und die helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel magnetisierbare Elemente oder gegenpolig angeordnete Magnete. Dies ermöglicht ein haptisches und auch akustisches Feedback einer sicheren Verbindung an den Benutzer. Die ersten Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit sind an einer zu der Position der ersten, helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel korrespondierenden Position angeordnet. In einer Ausführungsform sind die ersten Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit an einem untersten Topbereich ausgebildet. Somit ergibt sich bei entsprechender Ausführung auch eine 3D-Drehverriegelung. Die 3D-Drehverriegelung ist in einer Ausführung nicht elastisch nach Art einer Rast-Feder-Anordnung ausgebildet. Vielmehr erfolgt eine Verbindung über eine geeignete 3D-Kontur. Die Verbindung erfolgt dabei bevorzugt entlang einer oder mehrerer umlaufender Kanten, sodass insgesamt eine umlaufende Verbindung realisiert ist. Der 3D-Riegel ist alternativ zu einer federnden Verbindung und/oder in Kombination vorgesehen. Das Verriegeln erfolgt bevorzugt mittels eines 3D-geformten Riegels bzw. mehrerer 3D-geformter Riegel. Dabei weist der mindestens eine 3D-Riegel eine Krümmung in dreidimensionaler Richtung auf, anders als beispielsweise bei einem Zylinderstift.A viewing window is formed between the top area of the chin protection unit and the front area of the helmet shell unit and / or the neck unit and a self-locking locking mechanism is provided for connecting the chin protection unit to the helmet shell unit. The locking mechanism on the helmet shell unit has connection means for interacting with corresponding connection means of the chin protection unit. The connecting means of the helmet shell unit are arranged on the front of the helmet shell unit. The top region is formed on the edge of the chin protection unit which is adjacent to the upper shell unit and which is in the connected state. The top area is thus limited on the one hand by the peripheral edge. In another direction, the top area is limited by an offset. The top area thus runs off, in particular at an angle, to the remaining part of the chin protection unit. In one embodiment, the top region tapers towards the peripheral edge. The top area is only provided in the end area, that is to say in an area in which the chin protection unit is provided or designed for contacting the helmet upper shell unit. The front area is limited by the corresponding circumferential edge of the helmet shell unit. A receptacle for the top area of the chin guard unit is formed from the peripheral edge in the direction away from the connected chin guard unit. The receptacle is designed as a funnel-shaped projection or, in short, as a funnel. This has an outer funnel wall, which is formed by a section of the helmet upper shell unit, more precisely its outer surface or outer wall. A funnel bottom wall or a funnel bottom protrudes from this outer funnel wall. On this an inner funnel wall closes diagonally. The outer funnel wall and the inner funnel wall, both of which are connected to the funnel bottom, form a funnel-shaped receptacle. This means that the two walls diverge in a direction opposite to the funnel bottom and thus form a conical inlet funnel. The inside of the funnel wall is covered by a helmet shell or the like, so that a user's head does not rest against the inner funnel wall when the helmet is put on. A corresponding locking mechanism is provided to securely connect the chin guard unit to the helmet shell unit. In one embodiment, this locking mechanism is designed as a self-locking locking mechanism. This means that a user does not have to actively operate a bolt for a lock. Rather, a clip-like closure and / or a self-engaging closure is provided. The locking mechanism therefore has suitable connecting means. Some connecting means are provided on the helmet shell unit. Corresponding connection means are provided on the chin guard unit. On the one hand, the connection means on the helmet shell or on the helmet side comprise the receptacle or the funnel. In addition, the helmet-side connection means comprise first connection means. The first connecting means are designed to form a swivel joint together with first connecting means of the chin protection unit. Correspondingly, the first connecting means on the helmet side are designed as bolts, axles, pins or the like. The corresponding first connecting means of the chin protection unit are designed accordingly as a through opening, bore, hole, groove or the like. In one embodiment, the complementary connecting means are also arranged upside down, thus the through opening etc. on the helmet side and the bolt etc. on the chin guard side. The helmet-side first connecting means are arranged laterally on a lower front area of the neck unit, thus in the front area on a lowermost end of the helmet shell unit. When the chin protection unit is joined together with the upper helmet shell unit, the chin protection unit with the corresponding first connecting means is moved in the direction of the first connecting means on the helmet side. Because of the funnel-shaped design of the receptacle and the resilient design of the end regions of the chin protection unit, the top region runs along the inner funnel wall. With a further joining, the ends are spread apart and the first connecting means of the chin protection unit come together via the first helmet-side connecting means to realize a swivel joint. In this way, a first definition of the chin protection unit on the helmet shell unit is guaranteed. By spreading the end areas, the first helmet-side connection means snap securely into the first connection center of the chin protection unit. One embodiment provides that the first connecting means interact magnetically. So they are the first connecting means are magnetically and / or magnetizable. In one embodiment, the helmet-side connection means comprise corresponding magnetic elements and the chin protection-side connection means comprise magnetizable elements or magnets arranged in opposite poles. In another embodiment, the chin protection-side connection means comprise magnetic elements and the helmet-side connection means comprise magnetizable elements or magnets arranged in opposite poles. This enables haptic and acoustic feedback of a secure connection to the user. The first connecting means of the chin protection unit are arranged at a position corresponding to the position of the first connecting means on the helmet side. In one embodiment, the first connecting means of the chin protection unit are formed on a lowermost top area. With a corresponding design, this also results in a 3D rotary lock. In one embodiment, the 3D rotary lock is not designed to be elastic in the manner of a detent spring arrangement. Rather, a connection is made using a suitable 3D contour. The connection is preferably made along one or more circumferential edges, so that a circumferential connection is realized overall. The 3D bolt is provided as an alternative to a resilient connection and / or in combination. The locking is preferably carried out by means of a 3D-shaped bolt or several 3D-shaped bolts. The at least one 3D bar has a curvature in the three-dimensional direction, unlike, for example, a cylindrical pin.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Drehgelenk als lösbares Drehgelenk ausgebildet ist.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the swivel joint is designed as a detachable swivel joint.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die ersten Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit an einer zu der Position der ersten, helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel korrespondierenden Position angeordnet sind, wobei die ersten Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit an einem untersten Topbereich ausgebildet sind, sodass sich bei entsprechender Ausführung auch eine 3D-Drehverriegelung ergibtA further embodiment of the invention provides that the first connecting means of the chin protection unit are arranged at a position corresponding to the position of the first, helmet-side connecting means, the first connecting means of the chin protection unit being formed at a lowermost top area, so that a 3D version is also provided with a corresponding design - Twist lock results
Die Verbindungsmittel und/oder die 3D-Drehverrierelung umfassen in einer Ausführungsform einen Stift oder Bolzen. Bei der 3D-Drehverriegelung ist der Stift/Bolzen vorzugsweise als Zylinderstift ausgebildet. Das Kinnteil wird um den Zylinderstift rotiert, führt also eine 2D-Drehbewung, somit entlang einer Drehebene aus. Aufgrund der unterschiedlich geneigten Oberflächen der korrespondierenden, für einen Kontakt vorgesehenen Abschnitte erfolgt zusätzlich eine Bewegung entlang einer dritten Richtung entlang der sich kontaktierenden Oberflächen, somit eine 3D-Bewegung. Es erfolgt eine Inklinationsangleichung der Außenflächen von Oberschale und Kinnteil beim Eindrehen. Zusammen mit der Drehbewegung beschreibt die Bewegung aufgrund der Inklinationsangleichung einen dreidimensionalen Prozess oder Bewegungsvorgang. Die Drehbewegung des Bauteils Kinnteils erfolgt um eine relativ zu der Drehbewegung statische, insbesondere auch lineare und/oder horizontale Achse, quer, insbesondere 90° quer zur Fahrtrichtung eines Benutzers, der den Helm trägt, somit quer zu der Sichtrichtung. Analog sind Bolzen und Löcher dazu korrespondierend dazu angeordnet.In one embodiment, the connecting means and / or the 3D rotary locking device comprise a pin or bolt. In the case of the 3D rotary lock, the pin / bolt is preferably designed as a cylindrical pin. The chin part is rotated around the cylinder pin, i.e. it performs a 2D rotating movement, thus along a rotating plane. Due to the differently inclined surfaces of the corresponding sections intended for contact, there is also a movement along a third direction along the contacting surfaces, thus a 3D movement. There is an inclination adjustment of the outer surfaces of the upper shell and chin part when screwing in. Together with the rotary movement, the movement describes a three-dimensional process or movement process due to the inclination adjustment. The Rotation of the chin part takes place about a static, in particular also linear and / or horizontal axis relative to the rotation, transversely, in particular 90 ° transversely to the direction of travel of a user wearing the helmet, thus transversely to the direction of view. Analogously, bolts and holes are arranged corresponding to this.
Zum Einriegeln des 3D-Riegels ist somit eine dreidimensionale Bewegungsrichtung - Drehung plus Inklinationsangleichung - erforderlich. Entsprechend ist der 3D-Riegel für eine Einriegelung mittels dreidimensionaler Bewegungs- oder Montagerichtung ausgebildet. Die vorgesehene Trichterwandung ist insbesondere dafür vorgesehen, ein evtl. vorhandenes Restfedern zu kompensieren. Dies erfolgt trotz eines Fangens durch das Drehgelenk.A three-dimensional direction of movement - rotation plus inclination adjustment - is therefore required to lock the 3D bolt. Accordingly, the 3D bolt is designed for locking by means of three-dimensional movement or assembly direction. The funnel wall provided is in particular intended to compensate for any residual springs that may be present. This is done despite being caught by the swivel.
Noch eine weitere Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass zumindest ein erstes Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit und das dazu korrespondierende erste Verbindungsmittel der Helmoberschaleneinheit im verbundenen Zustand ein Drehgelenk ausbilden, um dessen Drehachse die Kinnschutzeinheit gegen die Helmoberschaleneinheit verschwenkbar ist. Das Drehgelenk ist als lösbares Drehgelenk ausgebildet. Das erste helmseitige Verbindungsmittel ist bevorzugt als Drehzapfen, Stift, Achse oder dergleichen ausgebildet. Dieser ragt von der äußeren Trichterwandung in Richtung innere Trichterwandung. Dabei ist eine benachbart zu der inneren Trichterwandung ausgebildete Spitze des Bolzens beabstandet zu der inneren Trichterwandung ausgebildet. Das erste Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit ist als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildet. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist das erste Verbindungsmittel als Vertiefung und/oder Ausnehmung ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise ragt bei einem Verbinden der Bolzen wie eine Nase in das Verbindungsmittel, genauer die Durchgangsöffnung oder Vertiefung. Die Konturen der Verbindungsmittel sind aufeinander abgestimmt, sodass ein Drehgelenk realisierbar ist. In einer Ausführungsform erfolgt zu einem reinen Verschwenken eine Kippbewegung, sodass ebenfalls eine 3D-Bewegung realisiert ist.Yet another embodiment provides that at least a first connection means of the chin protection unit and the corresponding first connection means of the helmet shell unit form a swivel joint in the connected state, about the axis of rotation of which the chin protection unit can be pivoted against the helmet shell unit. The swivel joint is designed as a detachable swivel joint. The first helmet-side connecting means is preferably designed as a pivot, pin, axle or the like. This protrudes from the outer funnel wall towards the inner funnel wall. In this case, a tip of the bolt, which is formed adjacent to the inner funnel wall, is formed at a distance from the inner funnel wall. The first connecting means of the chin protection unit is designed as a through opening. In another embodiment, the first connecting means is designed as a depression and / or recess. In this way, when the bolts are connected, it projects into the connecting means like a nose, more precisely the through opening or depression. The contours of the connecting means are coordinated so that a swivel joint can be realized. In one embodiment, a tilting movement takes place for pure pivoting, so that a 3D movement is also realized.
Zudem ist in einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass ein zweites Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit bzw. ein zweites Verbindungsmittel der Helmoberschaleneinheit von dem jeweils anderen, korrespondierenden zweiten Verbindungsmittel im verbundenen Zustand zumindest teilweise umfänglich umgeben ist. Ein Teil des zweiten Verbindungsmittels der Kinnschutzeinheit ist in einer Ausführungsform vollumfänglich im verbundenen Zustand von dem korrespondierenden zweiten, helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel umgeben. Die Kinnschutzeinheit ist in einer Ausführungsform zweiteilig mit einem inneren Teil und einem äußeren Teil ausgebildet. Der äußere Teil bildet eine äußere Schale. Der innere Teil bildet einen elastischen Innenbügel. Der Innenbügel weist als zweite Verbindungsmittel des Innenteils an seinen hinteren Enden eine maulartige Öffnung für ein Eingreifen in die zweiten, helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel auf. Die zweiten, helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel sind analog zu den ersten helmseitigen Verbindungsmitteln als Stift, Drehachse, Achse, Bolzen oder dergleichen ausgebildet. Der äußere Teil weist als zweite Verbindungsmittel des Außenteils ein Langloch, eine Nut eine längliche Durchgangsöffnung oder dergleichen auf. In diese ragt, analog zur Ausbildung des ersten Drehgelenks der ersten Verbindungsmittel das jeweils zweite helmseitige Verbindungsmittel. Die zweiten Verbindungsmittel des Außenteils und des Innenteils sind an einem Ende teilweise deckungsgleich. An einem anderen Teil weist das zweite Verbindungsmittel des Außenteils kein korrespondierendes zweites Verbindungsmittel des Innenteils auf. Ohne die zweiten Verbindungsmittel des Innenteils wäre ein Einrasten der zweiten Verbindungsmittel somit nicht realisierbar. Durch die elastischere Ausbildung der zweiten Verbindungsmittel des Innenteils ist somit eine Rastverbindung realisiert. Denn der Bolzen rastet in den beiden überlappenden zweiten Verbindungsmitteln der Kinnschutzeinheit aufgrund derer entsprechender Gestaltung ein. Die zweiten Verbindungsmittel sind an einem hinteren Ende des Innenteils ausgebildet. Zudem weist der bügelartige Innenteil beabstandet zu den zweiten Verbindungsmitteln an jedem Bügelarm eine lappenartige Anformung auf, die zur Bedienung des Verriegelungsmechanismus dienen. Durch Zusammendrücken beider Anformungen werden die hinteren Enden mit den zweiten Verbindungsmitteln zusammengedrückt. Dadurch wird die Verriegelung bzw. das Einrasten gelöst. Der Eingriff von Bolzen und Langloch lässt sich dadurch aufheben. Zusätzlich ist in einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die zweiten Verbindungsmittel magnetisch und/oder magnetisierbar sind und/oder einen Magneten oder mehrere Magnete aufweisen. Hierdurch ist ein haptisches und akustisches Feedback bei einer sicheren Verbindung der zweiten Verbindungsmittel realisierbar. Die Magnete an unterschiedlichen Verbindungsmitteln sind vorzugsweise gegenpolig zueinander angeordnet.In addition, it is provided in one embodiment that a second connection means of the chin protection unit or a second connection means of the helmet shell unit is at least partially circumferentially surrounded by the other, corresponding second connection means in the connected state. In one embodiment, part of the second connecting means of the chin protection unit is completely surrounded in the connected state by the corresponding second connecting means on the helmet side. In one embodiment, the chin protection unit is formed in two parts with an inner part and an outer part. The outer part forms an outer shell. The inner part forms an elastic inner bracket. As the second connecting means of the inner part, the inner bracket has a mouth-like opening at its rear ends for engaging in the second connecting means on the helmet side. The second, Helmet-side connecting means are designed analogously to the first helmet-side connecting means as a pin, axis of rotation, axis, bolt or the like. As the second connecting means of the outer part, the outer part has an elongated hole, a groove, an elongated through opening or the like. Analogous to the design of the first swivel joint of the first connecting means, the second helmet-side connecting means projects into this. The second connecting means of the outer part and the inner part are partially congruent at one end. On another part, the second connecting means of the outer part has no corresponding second connecting means of the inner part. Without the second connecting means of the inner part, it would not be possible to snap the second connecting means into place. Due to the more elastic design of the second connecting means of the inner part, a latching connection is thus realized. Because the bolt engages in the two overlapping second connecting means of the chin protection unit due to its corresponding design. The second connecting means are formed at a rear end of the inner part. In addition, the bow-like inner part, spaced apart from the second connecting means, has a tab-like projection on each bow arm, which is used to operate the locking mechanism. By pressing both formations together, the rear ends are pressed together with the second connecting means. This will release the lock or snap. The engagement of the bolt and the elongated hole can thus be removed. In addition, it is provided in one embodiment that the second connecting means are magnetic and / or magnetizable and / or have a magnet or a plurality of magnets. In this way, haptic and acoustic feedback can be implemented with a secure connection of the second connection means. The magnets on different connecting means are preferably arranged opposite to one another.
Wiederum eine andere Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung sieht vor, dass die ersten Verbindungsmittel und/oder die zweiten Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit an dem Endbereich der Kinnschutzeinheit vorgesehen sind. Durch die Anordnung an den nachgiebigen und/oder federnden Endbereichen ist ein leichtes Einführen der helmseitigen Verbindungsmittel in die Verbindungsmittel der Kinnschutzeinheit realisierbar. Aufgrund der offenen Ausführungsform sind die Endbereich leicht nachgiebig bzw. federnd ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist die Nachgiebigkeit der Endbereiche bzw. die Federeigenschaft minimiert, sodass ein möglichst steifer Endbereich realisiert ist. Insbesondere ist in dem Bereich der Endbereiche eine möglichst hohe Steifigkeit realisiert, in welchem verhindert wird, dass Löcher durch eine Krafteinwirkung von außen in Richtung einer Längsmittelachse weg von den Bolzen geschoben werden. Die Endbereiche sind im nicht zusammengesetzten Zustand federnd bzw. nachgiebig ausgebildet. Im zusammengesetzten Zustand ist die Federung bzw. Nachgiebigkeit durch die Fixierung an der Helmoberschaleneinheit minimiert bzw. verhindert.Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides that the first connecting means and / or the second connecting means of the chin protection unit are provided at the end region of the chin protection unit. The arrangement on the flexible and / or resilient end regions makes it easy to insert the helmet-side connecting means into the connecting means of the chin protection unit. Due to the open embodiment, the end regions are designed to be slightly resilient or resilient. The resilience of the end regions or the spring property is preferably minimized, so that the end region is as rigid as possible. In particular, the highest possible rigidity is achieved in the area of the end areas, in which holes are prevented from being pushed away from the bolts by an external force in the direction of a longitudinal central axis. The end regions are designed to be resilient or flexible in the non-assembled state. In the assembled state, the suspension or flexibility is minimized or prevented by the fixation on the helmet shell unit.
Auch ist in einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass der Verriegelungsmechanismus Arretiermittel zum Arretieren der Verbindung der Kinnschutzeinheit und der Helmoberschaleneinheit aufweist. Die Arretiermittel umfassen in einer Ausführungsform den elastischeren Innenteil mit den endseitigen maulartigen Öffnungen und den für eine Betätigung vorgesehenen Anformungen. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist eine Magneteinheit oder sind mehrere Magneteinheiten vorgesehen. Die Magneteinheit ist in einer Ausführungsform zumindest teilweise in den Verbindungsmitteln integriert. In einer anderen Ausführungsform sind separate Magnete oder Magneteinheiten vorgesehen. Die Magnete oder magnetisierbaren Elemente unterschiedlicher Verbindungselemente sind für ein Zusammenwirken ausgebildet bzw. angeordnet.It is also provided in one embodiment that the locking mechanism has locking means for locking the connection of the chin protection unit and the helmet shell unit. In one embodiment, the locking means comprise the more elastic inner part with the mouth-like openings at the end and the projections provided for actuation. In a further embodiment, one or more magnet units are provided. In one embodiment, the magnet unit is at least partially integrated in the connecting means. In another embodiment, separate magnets or magnet units are provided. The magnets or magnetizable elements of different connecting elements are designed or arranged for interaction.
Noch eine weitere Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass der Frontbereich und der Topbereich jeweils einen Überlappungsbereich aufweisen, die miteinander korrespondieren und mit dem im verbundenen Zustand die Kinnschutzeinheit an der Helmoberschaleneinheit zumindest teilweise überlappend anliegt. Der Topbereich der Kinnschutzeinheit ist zumindest teilweise in dem Frontbereich der Helmoberschaleneinheit aufgenommen. Somit wird zumindest ein Teil des Topbereichs von dem Frontbereich überlappt. Diese überlappenden Bereiche bilden den gesamten Überlappungsbereich aus. Der von dem Frontbereich überlappte Bereich des Frontbereichs bildet den kinnschutzseitigen Überlappungsbereich aus. Der den Topbereich überlappende Teil des Frontbereichs bildet den helmseitigen Überlappungsbereich auf. Insbesondere bildet der Trichter den helmseitigen Überlappungsbereich aus.Yet another embodiment provides that the front area and the top area each have an overlap area, which correspond to one another and with which, in the connected state, the chin guard unit at least partially overlaps the helmet shell unit. The top area of the chin protection unit is at least partially accommodated in the front area of the helmet shell unit. Thus, at least part of the top area is overlapped by the front area. These overlapping areas form the entire overlap area. The area of the front area overlapped by the front area forms the overlap area on the chin guard side. The part of the front area that overlaps the top area forms the overlap area on the helmet side. In particular, the funnel forms the overlap area on the helmet side.
Zudem ist in einer weiteren Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die Überlappungsbereiche als Feder-Nut-Überlappungsbereiche ausgebildet sind, wobei ein Überlappungsbereich der Kinnschutzeinheit oder der Helmoberschaleneinheit als Feder ausgebildet ist und der dazu korrespondierende Überlappungsbereich als Nut ausgebildet ist. Die Nut ist als Trichter mit einem Trichterboden, einer Trichterinnenwand und einer Trichteraußenwand ausgebildet. Von der Trichteraußenwand ragt in Richtung Trichterinnenwand ein Stift zur Ausbildung einer Drehachse in den Trichter hinein. Die Feder ist als versetzter Abschnitt des Endbereichs ausgebildet. Dabei weist die Feder bevorzugt eine geringere Materialstärke auf, als der verbleibende Teil der Kinnschutzeinheit.In addition, it is provided in a further embodiment that the overlap areas are designed as tongue and groove overlap areas, an overlap area of the chin protection unit or the helmet shell unit being designed as a tongue and the corresponding overlap area is designed as a groove. The groove is designed as a funnel with a funnel bottom, an inner funnel wall and an outer funnel wall. A pin protrudes from the outer wall of the funnel in the direction of the inner wall of the funnel to form an axis of rotation into the funnel. The spring is designed as a staggered section of the end region. The spring preferably has a lower material thickness than the remaining part of the chin guard unit.
Auch ist in einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die Überlappungsbereiche Führungsmittel aufweisen, um eine Verbindung der Kinnschutzeinheit mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit zu erleichtern. In einer Ausführungsform sind die Führungsmittel integriert mit der Helmoberschaleneinheit und/oder mit der Kinnschutzeinheit ausgebildet. In einer Ausführungsform umfassen die Führungsmittel einen sich verjüngenden Bereich, beispielsweise einen sich verjüngenden Topbereich und/oder Frontbereich. In einer anderen Ausführungsform umfassen die Führungsmittel einen trichterförmigen Einlauf, insbesondere einen trichterförmigen Einlauf an dem Frontbereich und/oder Topbereich. Noch eine andere Ausführungsform sieht einen Magnet oder mehrere Magnete vor, beispielsweise an dem Topbereich und/oder an dem Frontbereich. Weitere Führungsmittel wie Führungsnuten, Leitvorsprünge, Ausnehmungen und dergleichen sind in anderen Ausführungsformen vorgesehen. So lassen sich beispielsweise auch unterschiedliche Oberflächeneigenschaften vorsehen, welche beispielsweise geringere oder höhere Reibwerte aufweisen, um beispielsweise ein Aneinandergleiten von Topbereich und Frontbereich in eine Richtung gegenüber einer anderen Richtung zu verbessern.It is also provided in one embodiment that the overlap regions have guide means in order to facilitate connection of the chin protection unit to the helmet shell unit. In one embodiment, the guide means are designed to be integrated with the upper helmet shell unit and / or with the chin guard unit. In one embodiment, the guide means comprise a tapered area, for example a tapered top area and / or front area. In another embodiment, the guide means comprise a funnel-shaped inlet, in particular a funnel-shaped inlet on the front area and / or top area. Yet another embodiment provides one or more magnets, for example on the top area and / or on the front area. Further guide means such as guide grooves, guide projections, recesses and the like are provided in other embodiments.

Die
Aufgrund des komplexen, dreidimensionalen Eindrehvorgangs schiebt sich die Öffnung 173 sukzessive über den Bolzen. Bei einer Restfederung "rastet" so die Verbindung ein. Bei ausreichender Steifigkeit erfolgt durch dieses sukzessive Schieben ein Einfahren, also eine lineare Bewegung entlang einer Bewegungsrichtung. Bei dem Einfahren erfolgt aufgrund der fehlenden Nachgiebigkeit kein Einschnappen, wie bei einem Rasten. Stattdessen fährt der Bolzen in die Öffnung ein.Due to the complex, three-dimensional screwing-in process, the
Es ist Folgendes festzuhalten. Der Integralhelm ist als beliebiger Helm ausführbar. Bevorzugt ist eine Ausführung als adaptiver Halbschalenhelm, als Vollschalenhelm oder dergleichen. Ein Vollschalenhelm ist beispielsweise als vollwertiger Vollschalenhelm ausgebildet. Unter vollwertige im Sinne der Erfindung ist ein Helm zu verstehen, der einen ausreichenden Formschluss am Kopf durch beispielsweise eine Backenklemmung aufweist. Der Helm darf im aufgesetzten Zustand nicht relativ zu dem Kopf wackeln bzw. sich verschieben. Die Helmoberschaleneinheit ist zusammen mit der Kinnschutzeinheit als verformungsstabile Gesamtschale durch eine ununterbrochene Überlappung von Kinnschutzeinheit und Helmoberschaleneinheit ausgebildet. Dadurch ist eine umlaufende Krafteinleitung an der gesamten Trennfuge (Überlappungsbereich) gewährleistet. Eine Montage der Kinnschutzeinheit erfolgt werkzeugfrei, bevorzugt einhändig und ist in einem aufgesetzten Zustand der Helmoberschaleneinheit möglich. Der Integralhelm ist so ausgebildet, dass bei einer Krafteinleitungsrichtung von vorne, was eine Aufwölbung nach außen bewirkt, die Außenschale den Kinnbügel entlang dieser Auflagekante fasst und die Kraft entsprechend umlenkt. Dies ist z.B. der Fall bei einem Frontalaufprall auf den Kinnbügel. Bei einem Einfahren des Kinnteils in aufgesetztem Zustand erfolgt durch den auf die Backenklemmung einwirkenden Druck eine Aufspreizung des Kinnbügels. Um dies zu kompensieren ist die Nut in der Oberschale trichterförmig ausgelegt. Bei einer Krafteinleitung Richtung innen, wie zum Beispiel bei einem Seitenaufprall auf den Kinnbügel, wird entlang einer Fläche (Überlappungsbereich) die Kraft in die Hauptschale eingeleitet. Durch die Verschränkung der Bauteile und der Bildung eines Gesamtvolumens entsprechen auch die Verformungseigenschaften der Oberschale denen eines regulären Vollschalenhelms.The following should be noted. The full-face helmet can be designed as any helmet. An embodiment as an adaptive half-shell helmet, as a full-shell helmet or the like is preferred. A full shell helmet is designed, for example, as a full shell helmet. Fully-fledged in the sense of the invention is to be understood as a helmet which has a sufficient positive fit on the head, for example by a jaw clamp. The helmet must not wobble or move relative to the head when it is on. The helmet shell unit is designed together with the chin protection unit as a deformation-resistant overall shell by an uninterrupted overlap of the chin protection unit and the helmet shell unit. This ensures all-round application of force to the entire joint (overlap area). The chin guard unit is assembled without tools, preferably with one hand and is possible when the helmet shell unit is in place. The full-face helmet is designed in such a way that when the force is applied from the front, which causes bulging outwards, the outer shell grips the chin guard along this contact edge and the force accordingly redirects. This is the case, for example, in the event of a frontal impact on the chin guard. When the chin part is retracted in the attached state, the pressure on the jaw clamping causes the chin guard to expand. To compensate for this, the groove in the upper shell is designed in a funnel shape. When force is applied inwards, for example in the event of a side impact on the chin guard, the force is introduced into the main shell along a surface (overlap area). Due to the entanglement of the components and the formation of a total volume, the deformation properties of the upper shell also correspond to those of a regular full-shell helmet.
Bei einem Einfahren des Kinnteils in aufgesetztem Zustand erfolgt durch den auf die Backenklemmung einwirkenden Druck eine Aufspreizung des Kinnbügels. Um dies zu kompensieren ist die Nut / Aufnahme in der Oberschale trichterförmig ausgelegt. Durch die Verschränkung der Bauteile und der Bildung eines Gesamtvolumens entsprechen auch die Verformungseigenschaften der Oberschale denen eines regulären Vollschalenhelms. Ebenfalls um der Aufspreizung entgegenzuwirken, aber auch um die blinde Positionierung des Kinnbügels zu ermöglichen, ist der Anbringungsvorgang in eine Einfahr- und eine Endrehphase unterteilt. Am initialen Einfahrort befindet sich beidseitig eine Drehachse, vorzugsweise aus Stahl oder einem anderen vergleichbaren Material, welches zumindest hinsichtlich der Festigkeit und/oder Steifigkeit ähnliche Eigenschaften wie Stahl aufweist. Ebenfalls beidseitig sind im Kinnteil zwei Magnete eingebracht, die das blinde Finden der Achsen - und damit die Ausrichtung des Kinnbügels zur Oberschale - möglich machen. Die Stahlachse wird beidseitig durch ein Loch gefasst. Dieses Loch erlaubt ausschließlich ein horizontales Einfahren von vorne, bis in dieser Richtung ein Kraftschluss zwischen Magnet und Achse erfolgt. Ist diese Axialverbindung hergestellt, besteht ein Formschluss in vertikaler Richtung, der ein Herabfallen des Kinnbügels verhindert. Dieser kann also hängengelassen werden. Weiter entsteht eine Einschränkung der Bewegungsfreiheit des Kinnbügels auf eine Drehung um die Stahlachse. Da der Kinnbügel an den Drehachsen bereits in der Breite fixiert ist und die Nut wie beschrieben trichterartig ausgeformt ist, kann die Feder des Kinnbügels nun - gegen die aufspreizend wirkenden Kräfte an der Backenklemmung - in die Nut eingedreht werden. Die Verriegelung ist integriert in den Kinnbügel eingebaut. Im Kinnbügel befindet sich ein Riegel, der mittels zweier durch Eingriffsöffnungen zugänglicher Hebel sowohl von Hand in Fahrtrichtung bewegt werden kann, als auch von einem in der Oberschale angebrachten Bolzen beim Einfahren selbstständig verdrängt wird. Dieser Riegel bildet den Innenteil. Zwischen Drehachse der Oberschale und Loch im Kinnbügel wird bei fortschreitendem Eindrehen auch in Fahrtrichtung ein Formschluss hergestellt. Wenig höher ist die Feder so ausgeformt, dass sie an der Innenwand der Oberschale anliegt. Ein Herunterdrücken der Feder von der Stahlachse durch seitliche Krafteinwirkung auf den Kinnbügel ist dadurch unmöglich. Ein Magnet im Riegel gibt ein haptisches, wie akustisches Feedback, wenn das Maul des Riegels den Stahlbolzen der Oberschale vollständig umschließt. Ein Federelement hält den Riegel in geschlossener Position. Der zentrale Führungsdorn hält das Federelement und führt den Riegel. Die Führung des Riegels erfolgt an den oberen Forken. Durch einen Splint wird der Riegel fest mit dem Kinnbügel verbunden, dadurch wird auch verhindert, dass die Gabel des Riegels durch seitliche Krafteinwirkung vom Bolzen der Oberschale geschoben werden kann. Um Fehlbedienungen oder eine Auslösen durch Sturz zu vermeiden, sind die beiden Hebel tief in den Öffnungen des Kinnbügels versenkt. Die adaptive Oberschale ist Trägerbasis für viele Anwendungen in geschlossener (Kinnbügel) wie offener Bauweise (Backen, Jethelm). Auch einseitige Anbauten sind möglich (Baseballhelm, Mikrofon-/Ohrhörereinheit), wie auch ein kurzer Kinnbügel. Hierdurch wird ein besseres Handling, eine geringere Hebelwirkung (etwa bei Luftwiderstand), eine bessere Sicht realisiert. Eine Ausführungsform sieht eine Backenbauweise mit Volumenfortsatz vor, beispielsweise zum Anbringen von Geräten wie Atemmasken oder Kommunikationseinrichtungen. Eine Ausführungsform als Jethelm sieht beispielsweise eine Backenbauweise (hart) mit Aussparungen vor. Der Helm ist als schutzoptimierter Halbschalenhelm, beispielsweise mit Wintersportoptik, und mit der Möglichkeit einer nachträglichen Zuführung von Ohrhörern/Ohrschützern möglich. Die vorliegende Erfindung ermöglicht ein Finden der Einfahröffnung ohne Sicht durch die Trichterform der Nut, Magnete und Anordnung der Magnete. Das Dreheinfahren erfolgt gegen eine Innendruckbeaufschlagung. In einem ersten Schritt erfolgt das Eindrehen ohne Innendruck: Einfahren in und fixieren vom offenen Kinnteil-Ende am Drehgelenk, beim weiteren Eindrehen ist so die Aufspreiztendenz (nun bei Druckeinwirkung) auf ein Restminimum begrenzt. Diesem wird begegnet durch die Inklination des im Folgenden Feder genannten Topbereichs sowie der Trichterform der Nut (Einschereffekt). Es erfolgt eine Zwangsverriegelung am Drehpunkt durch die Inklination der Feder am Drehpunkt. Ein dreidimensionaler Arretiervorgang wird ermöglicht durch einfaches Einfahren. Zudem ist ein Tragen in aufgeklapptem Zustand möglich. Es erfolgt eine Verriegelung der Schwenkbewegung. Zudem ist eine Bediensicherheit gewährleistet. Der Maulriegel samt Bolzen ist gegen eine Feder gelagert. Die Bediensicherheit ist kognitiv, da ein Magnetsystem für einen Index vorgesehen ist. Die Bediensicherheit, insbesondere gegen Fremdeinwirkung ist gewährleistet, beispielsweise dadurch, dass der Auslöser mit zwei Bedienelementen erfolgen muss. Es liegt hier ein Formschluss der Verriegelung vor. Durch die Erfindung ist eine optimierte Krafteinleitung gewährleistet. Dies wird bewirkt durch eine Überlappung Feder/Nut. Dies ermöglicht eine umlaufende, homogene Krafteinleitung in die Helmoberschaleneinheit. Zudem lässt sich eine Verschränkung/Verzahnung des Schnittprofils vorsehen. Vorteile sind u.a. eine werkzeugfreie Montage, eine Montage in aufgesetztem Zustand durch die U-Form, Bereitstellen eines vollwertigen Fullface-Helms durch eine Backenklemmung. Diese lässt sich an einen Träger anbinden. Zudem ist ein optimierter Prallschutz gewährleistet. Dies wird durch eine geeignete Materialauswahl realisiert. Dies wird durch ein stoßabsorbierendes Material gewährleistet. Der Helm stellt ein vollwertiges Volumen bereit. Die Krafteinleitung erfolgt über den Überlappungsbereich und ist somit homogener als bei bekannten Lösungen. Der Integralhelm erfüllt die Motorradnormen Aufprall/ Front, obwohl eine werkzeugfreie Montage in aufgesetztem Zustand möglich ist. Aufgrund des komplexen, dreidimensionalen Bewegungsablaufs, wird eine Ausführungsform einer werkzeuglosen Montage im Folgenden beschrieben, insbesondere bei aufgesetztem Helm.When the chin part is retracted in the attached state, the pressure on the jaw clamping causes the chin guard to expand. In order to compensate for this, the groove / receptacle in the upper shell is designed in a funnel shape. Due to the entanglement of the components and the formation of a total volume, the deformation properties of the upper shell also correspond to those of a regular full-shell helmet. Also to counteract the spreading, but also to enable the blind positioning of the chin guard, the attachment process is divided into a run-in and a final turning phase. At the initial entry point there is an axis of rotation on both sides, preferably made of steel or another comparable material, which has properties similar to steel at least in terms of strength and / or rigidity. Also on both sides, two magnets are inserted in the chin part, which make it possible to blindly find the axes - and thus the alignment of the chin guard to the upper shell. The steel axis is gripped on both sides by a hole. This hole only allows horizontal retraction from the front until there is a frictional connection between the magnet and the axis in this direction. Once this axial connection has been established, there is a form fit in the vertical direction, which prevents the chin guard from falling down. So this can be left hanging. There is also a restriction of the freedom of movement of the chin guard to a rotation around the steel axis. Since the chin guard is already fixed in width at the axes of rotation and the groove is shaped like a funnel as described, the spring of the chin guard can now be screwed into the groove - against the expanding forces on the jaw clamp. The lock is built into the chin guard. There is a latch in the chin guard, which can be moved by hand in the direction of travel by means of two levers that are accessible through the access openings, and which is automatically displaced by a bolt in the upper shell when retracting. This bar forms the inner part. Between the axis of rotation of the upper shell and the hole in the chin guard, a positive fit is also established in the direction of travel as the screw is turned in. The spring is shaped a little higher so that it lies against the inner wall of the upper shell. This makes it impossible to press the spring down from the steel axle due to the lateral force exerted on the chin guard. A magnet in the bolt gives haptic, like acoustic feedback when the bolt's mouth completely encloses the steel bolt of the upper shell. A spring element holds the bolt in the closed position. The central guide pin holds the spring element and guides the bolt. The bar is guided on the upper fork. A cotter pin firmly connects the latch to the chin guard, which also prevents the latch's fork from being pushed off the top shell bolt by lateral force. The two levers are recessed deep into the openings in the chin guard to prevent incorrect operation or triggering by falling. The adaptive top shell is the base for many applications in closed (chin guard) and open construction (baking, open face helmet). One-sided attachments are also possible (baseball helmet, microphone / earphone unit), as well as a short chin strap. This results in better handling, less leverage (e.g. with air resistance), better visibility. One embodiment provides a jaw construction with a volume extension, for example for attaching devices such as breathing masks or communication devices. An embodiment as a jet helmet provides, for example, a jaw construction (hard) with cutouts. The helmet is possible as a protection-optimized half-shell helmet, for example with winter sports optics, and with the option of adding earphones / earmuffs afterwards. The present invention enables the entry opening to be found without being visible through the funnel shape of the groove, magnets and arrangement of the magnets. The turning retraction takes place against an internal pressure. In a first step, screwing in takes place without internal pressure: retraction into and fixing from the open end of the chin part on the swivel joint, the further spreading tendency (now when pressure is applied) is limited to a minimum. This is countered by the inclination of the top area mentioned below and the funnel shape of the groove (shear-in effect). There is a forced locking at the pivot point due to the inclination of the spring at the pivot point. A three-dimensional locking process is made possible by simply retracting. It can also be worn when unfolded. The swivel movement is locked. Operational safety is also guaranteed. The jaw bolt and bolt are mounted against a spring. The operating safety is cognitive, since a magnet system is provided for an index. Operational safety, in particular against external influences, is guaranteed, for example by the fact that the trigger must be carried out with two operating elements. There is a positive lock here. The invention ensures an optimized introduction of force. This is caused by a tongue / groove overlap. This enables a continuous, homogeneous application of force to the helmet shell unit. In addition, an interlocking / interlocking of the cut profile can be provided. Advantages include tool-free assembly, assembly in a fitted state due to the U-shape, provision of a full-fledged full-face helmet by means of a jaw clamp. This can be tied to a carrier. Optimized impact protection is also guaranteed. This is achieved through a suitable choice of materials. This is ensured by a shock absorbing material. The helmet poses a full volume ready. The force is applied over the overlap area and is therefore more homogeneous than with known solutions. The full-face helmet meets the motorcycle standards impact / front, although tool-free installation is possible when the helmet is on. Due to the complex, three-dimensional movement sequence, an embodiment of a tool-free assembly is described below, in particular when the helmet is on.
Das Kinnteil wird an die Oberschale von vorn angenähert. Das Polster weist eine Polsteraussparung im Ohrenbereich auf. Durch die Polsteraussparung im Ohrenbereich erfolgt hier keine Berührung zwischen Gesicht und Polster auf dem Einfahrweg.The chin part is brought closer to the upper shell from the front. The pad has a pad recess in the ear area. The padding in the ear area means there is no contact between the face and the pad on the drive-in path.
Weiter wird das Kinnteil mit der Oberschale in Kontakt gebracht. Die Gelenkenden des Kinnteils treffen auf die Oberschale. In den Gelenkenden der Oberschale befinden sich Stahlbolzen oder Metallbolzen, oder Bolzen aus anderem Material, insbesondere mit magnetischen oder magnetisierbaren Anteilen, die mit in den Gelenkenden des Kinnteils eingebrachten Magneten korrespondieren und zusammenwirken. Somit lässt sich ein sichtfreies finden der Drehachse mit wenig Aufwand und ohne große Anforderungen an das motorisches Talent des Benutzers realisieren. Weiterhin ist die Oberfläche selbst ausgeführt wie eine große Gelenkpfanne. Am Gelenkende ist der Versatz zur nach innen versetzten Fläche, die später in die Oberschale einfährt, in Form eines Viertelkreises ausgeführt. Der große Durchmesser des Drehkreisausschnitts erleichtert ebenfalls wesentlich das Finden des Bereiches.The chin part is brought into contact with the upper shell. The joint ends of the chin part meet the upper shell. In the articulated ends of the upper shell there are steel bolts or metal bolts, or bolts made of another material, in particular with magnetic or magnetizable parts, which correspond and interact with magnets inserted in the articulated ends of the chin part. This means that the axis of rotation can be found with little effort and without great demands on the motor skills of the user. Furthermore, the surface itself is designed like a large joint socket. At the end of the joint, the offset to the inwardly offset surface, which will later enter the upper shell, is in the form of a quarter circle. The large diameter of the turning circle section also makes it much easier to find the area.
Ist der Kontakt der Gelenkflächen Bolzen- Loch und Außenschale - Oberschale mit Außenschale Kinnteil erfolgt, greift die Feder des Kinnteils, welche für das Zusammenwirken mit der Nut ausgebildet ist, an der Stelle ein, an welcher sich das Gelenkende bereits in die trichterförmige Nut im Schaumkörper der Oberschale befindet. Dies erfolgt mangels Polsterkontakt noch komplett kraft-/spannungsfrei.If the joint surfaces of the pin-hole and outer shell - upper shell with outer shell of the chin part have been made, the spring of the chin part, which is designed to interact with the groove, engages at the point at which the joint end is already in the funnel-shaped groove in the foam body the upper shell is located. Due to the lack of upholstery contact, this is still completely force / tension free.
Zu diesem Zeitpunkt des Eingreifens weisen die Oberflächen der Oberschale und des Kinnteils am Punkt bzw. an der Stelle der Gelenkachse durch ihre verdrehte Position zueinander noch sehr unterschiedliche Oberflächenausrichtung auf. Insbesondere stehen die Oberflächen schief zueinander.At this point in time, the surfaces of the upper shell and the chin part at the point or at the point of the articulation axis still have very different surface orientations due to their rotated position relative to one another. In particular, the surfaces are crooked.
Es folgt das Eindrehen nach oben. Dabei kollidiert das Polster im Kinnteil erstmalig mit dem Gesicht des Tragenden und wird beim weiteren Eindrehen komprimiert. Da das als Einzelteil U-förmige Kinnteil an den Gelenkenden bereits durch die Nut der Außenschale gefasst ist, und somit im Verbund zu dem restlichen Helm steht, kann dieses sich durch die Krafteinwirkung der Polsterrückstellkräfte nicht aufspreizen.The screwing in follows. The padding in the chin section collides with the wearer's face for the first time and is compressed when it is screwed in further. Since the U-shaped chin part as an individual part is already gripped by the groove of the outer shell at the joint ends, and is thus connected to the rest of the helmet, this cannot spread out due to the force of the cushion restoring forces.
Beim Eindrehen in die Endposition des geschlossenen Zustands gleichen sich die Ausrichtungen bzw. die Oberflächen immer weiter an, bis im geschlossenen Zustand ein wieder durchgängiges Volumen entsteht und die Oberflächensteigungen an der Trennfuge identisch, zumindest nahezu identisch, ausgerichtet sind. Deshalb nähert sich die Feder am Drehpunkt im Verlauf des Eindrehens immer weiter der Außenschale von innen an. Der Im Gelenkende der Oberschale eingebrachte Bolzen fährt auf diese Weise immer weiter und bis zum Kontakt der Schalen in das im Gelenkende des Kinnteils untergebrachte Loch ein.When screwing into the end position of the closed state, the alignments or the surfaces continue to adjust until a continuous volume is created in the closed state and the surface slopes at the parting line are aligned identically, at least almost identically. For this reason, the spring at the fulcrum approaches the outer shell from the inside as it is screwed in. In this way, the bolt inserted in the joint end of the upper shell continues to move into the hole in the joint end of the chin part until the shells contact.
Im weiteren Verlauf des Eindrehens schert die Feder des Kinnteils kontinuierlich in die umlaufende Nut der Oberschale ein. Dementsprechend wird der Rückstellkraft des Polsters stets so nah wie möglich am Ort der Krafteinleitung einer Gegenkraft entgegengebracht. Für den Fall, dass sich das Kinnteil jedoch trotzdem noch verformt, sprich aufspreizt, ist die Nut umlaufend trichterförmig ausgelegt um auch einen Federabschnitt, der sich versetzt annähert, einfangen zu können. Gleichzeitig verbessert die Neigung der Nut-Feder-Scherflächen die Gleiteigenschaften beim Einfahren. Die verbleibende Befestigung über die Befestigungsmittel ist soweit beschrieben.As the screwing continues, the tongue of the chin part continuously shears into the circumferential groove of the upper shell. Accordingly, the restoring force of the cushion is always counteracted as close as possible to the point at which the force is applied. In the event that the chin part nevertheless deforms, i.e. spreads open, the groove is designed funnel-shaped all around in order to also be able to catch a spring section which approaches in an offset manner. At the same time, the inclination of the tongue and groove shear surfaces improves the sliding properties when retracting. The remaining attachment via the fasteners is described so far.
Zum besseren initialen Finden des Drehgelenks ist ein Magnet vorgesehen. Mithilfe des Magneten am Drehgelenk und der Gelenkkopf-in-Gelenkpfanne-artigen Außenschalenausformung von Oberschale und Kinnteil, erfolgt das initiale Finden viertelkreisförmig am Drehgelenk auf leichte Art.A magnet is provided for a better initial finding of the swivel joint.
