Definitions
- the invention relates to a protective helmet according to the preamble 5 of claim 1.
- a protective helmet of the type mentioned at the beginning which is intended in particular for military or police use, is generally known, so that no special printed proof is required in this regard.
- a protective helmet consists of a helmet shell that fits a human head and extends to its forehead area and a transparent visor movably mounted on the helmet shell, with an adapter device for attaching helmet components such as a night vision device being arranged on the helmet shell at the front area 15.
- the visor is typically attached to the protective helmet on both sides via swivel joints, although the safety-related or (here and hereinafter also referred to) "ballistic" properties of the protective helmet impairing passage openings must be provided on the helmet shell.
- the invention is based on the object of improving a protective helmet of the type mentioned at the beginning.
- a protective helmet is to be created which, despite the use of a heavy, bullet-resistant visor, is comfortable to wear and has good ballistic properties.
- a rail which leads in the direction of the back of the head and is designed for mounting and guiding the visor, is arranged on the adapter5 device.
- the solution according to the invention is characterized in that the adapter device which is present in such protective helmets and is actually intended for attaching attachments such as night vision devices is now intended or used to attach a rail, this rail overlapping the outside of the protective helmet extends the head and is designed as a guide rail for the visor, d. H. the possibly heavy, bullet-resistant visor can, if it is to be moved out of the field of vision if necessary, be pushed back along the rail, whereby a good balance of the protective helmet is ensured. 20th
- the solution according to the invention has the advantage that adapters attached to the side of the protective helmet for attaching further helmet components are not covered by the visor and can therefore be used well, which is the case with known solutions in which the visor is attached to the side of the protective helmet via swivel joints is not guaranteed.
- FIG. 2 shows the protective helmet according to FIG. 1 in perspective; 15 Figure 3 in side view from the left of the invention
- FIG. 4 shows the protective helmet according to FIG. 3 in perspective
- FIG. 5 shows the invention in a side view from the left
- FIG. 6 shows the protective helmet according to FIG. 5 in perspective
- FIG. 8 shows the protective helmet 25 according to the invention in a front view with the visor folded down (closed state).
- the protective helmet shown in the figures initially consists in a known manner of a helmet shell 1 that fits a human head and extends to its forehead region and a transparent visor mounted movably on the helmet shell 1.
- sier 2 with an adapter device 3 for attaching helmet components (such as night vision devices or the like) being arranged on the face area of the helmet shell 1.
- helmet components such as night vision devices or the like
- the helmet shell 1 and / or the visor 2 is optionally designed to be bullet-resistant, d. H. this safety helmet is intended for military or police use.
- a rail 4 which leads in the direction of the back of the head and is designed to support and guide the visor 2, is arranged on the adapter device 3.
- the rail 4 it is now possible, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 5, to position the visor 2, which is quite heavy with bullet-resistant design, practically on and no longer just in front of the protective helmet, as is the case with conventional folding visors. It is essential that an articulation point or an articulation area of the opened visor 2 is located in the area of the highest point of the helmet shell 1. Since the protective helmet is much better placed on the head of a user, this increases - apart from the improved wearing comfort - in particular, of course, the safety when using the helmet.
- the visor 2 is therefore arranged in the closed state in front of a face area of a helmet user and in the open state above the front half of the helmet shell 1. If one takes a closer look at the protective helmet according to the invention, it is initially provided in a manner known per se that the adapter device 3 has an interface 5 for attaching the helmet components. In addition, it is particularly preferred that the rail 4 is designed to be connected to the helmet shell 1 via this interface 5 5.
- a replacement interface 6 corresponding to the interface 5 for attaching the helmet components is provided on the end area of the rail 4 and is accessible for access. H. Thanks to this provision, it is ensured that helmet components, such as a night vision device, can be attached to the protective helmet despite the rail 4 being mounted.
- the rail 4 is additionally designed to be fastened to an edge 1.1 of the helmet shell 1 opposite the end region.
- the rail 4 is fastened to the edge 1.1 of the helmet shell 1 with the aid of a band 9.
- a fastening element, in particular a hook element, that fits the edge 1.1 of the helmet shell 1 is preferably provided (not shown separately) at the end of the band 9 facing away from the rail.
- the visor 2 is particularly preferably designed to be fastened at its front end or upper edge to a frame part 7, a guide device 8 cooperating with the rail 4 also preferably being provided on the frame part 7.
- This guide device 8 is (see for example FIG. 4) preferably formed from two guide sections 8.2 extending parallel to one another and receiving the rail 4 between each other.
- the rail 4 has guide grooves 4.1 pointing outward on both sides and the guide device 8, in particular the guide sections 8.2, have inwardly pointing guide elements 8.1 that match the guide grooves 4.1. 10
- the guide groove 4.1 beginning in the forehead region extends at least to the center of the helmet shell 1 (preferably even slightly beyond).
- two preferably peg-shaped guide elements 8.1 are preferably provided per guide groove 4.1.
- one guide element 8.1 is preferably arranged in a first guide groove section 4.1.1 and the other guide element 8.1 in a second guide groove section 4.1.2, with the two guide groove sections 4.1. 1, 4.1.2 are angled to one another.
- the guide groove 4.1 In order to be able to move the visor 2 as far back as possible on the protective helmet, as explained at the beginning, it is Provision is preferably made for the guide groove 4.1 to have a length which is at least three times as long as a distance between the two guide elements 8.1.
- the rail 4 is designed as a double rail consisting of two single rails connected to one another, and finally (and this also applies to constructions without a double rail) It is preferably provided that the rail 4 is made wider than the adapter device 3 (wider here refers to a horizontal direction of extent when the protective helmet is used).
