A helmet, specifically for the protection of a head of a person during leisure activities, is disclosed. The helmet has a shell at least partially made of a deformable material. The shell has an interior surface facing the head of a person wearing the helmet. The shell comprises a depression in the interior surface. An inner lining element is fit into the depression, wherein a hollow guiding space is formed between the inner lining element and the shell. The hollow guiding space has a slit at a forehead-sided rim of the shell. The helmet further has a visor. The visor at least partially is located movably inside the hollow guiding space, such that the visor at least partially can be pushed out of the slit into a face region of the person wearing the helmet and can be pulled back into the hollow guiding space.
A helmet (110), specifically for the protection of a head of a person during leisure activities, the helmet (110) having a shell (112) at least partially made of a deformable material (136), the shell (112) having an interior surface (142) facing the head of a person wearing the helmet (110), wherein the shell (112) comprises a depression (146) in the interior surface (142), wherein an inner lining element (148) is fit into the depression (146), wherein a hollow guiding space (156) is formed between the inner lining element (148) and the shell (112), the hollow guiding space (156) having a slit (158) at a forehead-sided rim (160) of the shell (112), the helmet (110) further having a visor (116), wherein the visor (116) at least partially is located movably inside the hollow guiding space (156), such that the visor (116) at least partially can be pushed out of the slit (158) into a face region of the person wearing the helmet (110) and can be pulled back into the hollow guiding space (156).
The helmet (110) according to the preceding claim, wherein the deformable material (136) comprises a foamed plastic material.
The helmet (110) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the shell (112) has a multi-layer setup, the multi-layer setup comprising at least one outer lining layer (138) and the deformable material (136).
The helmet (110) according to the preceding claim, wherein the outer lining layer and (138) the deformable material (136) are connected by an inmold-technique.
The helmet (110) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the helmet (110) has an outer surface (140) facing away from of the person wearing the helmet (110), wherein the shell (112) has a guiding slit (126) extending from the outer surface (140) into the hollow guiding space (156), wherein a guiding element (124) is mounted to the visor (116) and extends through the guiding slit (126) such that the guiding element (124) is operable from the outer surface (140), wherein a position of the visor (116) is adjustable by using the guiding element (124).
The helmet (110) according to the preceding claim, wherein the guiding element (124) removably is connected to the visor (116).
The helmet (110) according to one of the preceding claims, the helmet (110) further comprising a guide rail element (128), wherein the guide rail element (128) at least partially is located inside the hollow guiding space (156), wherein the guide rail element (128) provides a guide rail (178) for a movement of the visor (116).
The helmet (110) according to the preceding claim, wherein the guide rail element (128) has a plurality of rest elements (182), wherein the rest elements (182) are located in predefined rest positions, such that the visor (116) may be adjusted to a plurality of predefined positions.
The helmet (110) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the interior surface (142) and an inner surface (152) of the inner lining element (148) commonly form a resting surface (144) which directly or indirectly rests on the head of the person wearing the helmet (110).
The helmet (110) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the inner lining element (148) at least partially is made of a further deformable material (150), wherein preferably the further deformable material (150) comprises a foamed plastic material.
A method for producing a helmet (110), specifically a helmet (110) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the method comprises the following method steps:
The method according to the preceding claim, wherein the helmet (110) has an outer surface (140) facing away from of the person wearing the helmet (110), wherein step a) is performed such that the shell (112) has a guiding slit (126) extending from the outer surface (140) into the hollow guiding space (156), wherein, after performing steps b) and c), a guiding element (124) is mounted to the visor (116), such that the guiding element (124) extends through the guiding slit (126) and such that the guiding element (124) is operable from the outer surface (140), wherein a position of the visor (116) is adjustable by using the guiding element (124).
The method according to one of the preceding method claims, wherein, in step a), a molding technique is used, preferably an inmold-technique.
The method according to one of the preceding method claims, wherein step a) is performed such that the shell (112) has a multi-layer setup, the multi-layer setup comprising at least one outer lining layer (138) and the deformable material (136), wherein, in step a), an inmold-technique is used to create the multi-layer setup.
A use of the helmet (110) according to one of the preceding claims referring to a helmet (110) for a purpose selected from the group consisting of:
