Safety helmet with an adapter and process for detachably fastening a module

An arrangement comprising:

• a module;
• and
• a safety helmet comprising:
• an arched helmet shell;
• a bearing support structure fastened to the arched helmet shell;
• a helmet-side coupling point forming a part of the bearing support structure or of the arched helmet shell and located within an area enclosed by the arched helmet shell;
• and a module adapter comprising a helmet-side adapter coupling point and a module-side adapter coupling point, wherein:
• the helmet-side adapter coupling point is detachably connected or connectable to the helmet-side coupling point;
• the module-side adapter coupling point is detachably connected or connected to the module;
• and the module adapter holds or is configured to hold the module at the safety helmet with the module detachably connected or connectable to the module-side adapter coupling point and the arched helmet shell-side adapter coupling point detachably connected or connectable to the helmet-side coupling point, wherein the module is detachably connected to connectable to the module adapter of the safety helmet, wherein the helmet-side adapter coupling point of the module adapter comprises a U-shaped fastening element;
• the helmet-side coupling point comprises an opening and a web adjoining the opening;
• and the U-shaped fastening element is configured to be passed through the opening and be moved after passing through the opening into a position in which the U-shaped fastening element encompasses the web from two sides.

A process for inserting a module into a safety helmet, the process comprising the steps of:

• providing a safety helmet comprising:
• an arched helmet shell;
• a bearing support structure;
• a module adapter;
• and a helmet-side coupling point, wherein the bearing support structure is fastened to the arched helmet shell on an inside thereof, the helmet-side coupling point forms a part of the bearing support structure or of the arched helmet shell and is located within an area enclosed by the arched helmet shell, and the module adapter comprises a helmet-side adapter coupling point and a module-side adapter coupling point;
• providing a module;
• detachably connecting the helmet-side adapter coupling point to the helmet-side coupling point with a movement of the module adapter towards the helmet-side coupling point, until the detachable connection between the module adapter and the safety helmet is established;
• and
• detachably connecting the module to the module-side adapter coupling point with a movement of the module-side adapter coupling point until the module engages with the module-side adapter coupling point, wherein:
• the helmet-side coupling point comprises:
• an opening;
• and a web adjoining the opening;
• the helmet-side adapter coupling point of the module adapter comprises a U-shaped fastening element;
• and
• the step of detachably connecting the helmet-side adapter coupling point to the helmet-side coupling point comprises the following steps:
• passing the U-shaped fastening element through the opening of the helmet-side coupling point;
• and
• moving the U-shaped fastening element so as to pass through the opening into a position in which the U-shaped fastening element encompasses the web of the helmet-side coupling point from two sides.

A safety helmet process comprising:

• providing a safety helmet comprising:
• an arched helmet shell;
• a bearing support structure fastened to the arched helmet shell;
• a helmet-side coupling point connected to the bearing support structure or to the arched helmet shell and located within an area enclosed by the arched helmet shell;
• and a module adapter comprising a helmet-side adapter coupling point and a module-side adapter coupling point, wherein:

• the module-side adapter coupling point is configured to be detachably connected to a module;
• the module adapter is configured to hold the module at the safety helmet with the module connected to the module-side adapter coupling point and the arched helmet shell-side adapter coupling point connected to the helmet-side coupling point;
• the helmet-side adapter coupling point of the module adapter comprises a U-shaped fastening element;
• the helmet-side coupling point comprises an opening and a web adjoining the opening;
• and the U-shaped fastening element is configured to be passed through the opening and be moved after passing through the opening into a position in which the U-shaped fastening element encompasses the web from two sides;
• providing a 3D printer to produce at least one of the bearings support structure, the helmet-side coupling point and the module adapter;
• and
• producing at least one of the bearing support structure, the helmet-side coupling point and the module adapter with the 3D printer.
