The invention generally relates to a visor assembly. In an aspect of the invention, there is provided a visor assembly comprising: an injection moulded visor (2); and a lens (3) coupled to the visor; wherein the visor comprises at least two protrusions (5) extending from a surface of the visor, said protrusions being integrally formed with the visor; at least one add-on component (4) attached, preferably releasably attached, to one of the at least two protrusions; said add-on component providing an outer abutment surface (41) arranged to engage with a lateral side of the lens; and the lens is coupled to the visor by engagement with the abutment surface of the at least one add-on component, preferably wherein the lens is compressed between the at least two protrusions or is held is tension by the two protrusions.
A visor assembly comprising:
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the protrusions (5) are provided on an inner surface of the visor (2).
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the protrusions (5) extend substantially orthogonal to the surface of the visor (2).
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein a lateral cross-section of the protrusions (5) defines an oval shape, preferably a circular shape.
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the add-on component (4) comprises an opening (6) arranged to receive the protrusion (5), preferably wherein the opening (6) has a shape corresponding to a cross-sectional shape of the protrusion (5).
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein an add-on component (4) is releasably attached to each of the at least two protrusions (5).
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the abutment surface (41) extends at least partly around a periphery of the add-on component (4), said periphery defining a shape which is non-circular, preferably wherein the shape is oval, rectangular, square, star-shaped, or triangular.
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the opening (6) of the add-on component (4) is provided away from a centre of the periphery so that the periphery defines an eccentric shape in relation to the opening (6).
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the material of the add-on component (4) is one of polycarbonate, nylon, or an elastic material having a Shore A hardness of 50-95, preferably 60-90, more preferably 65-80, most preferably of about 70.
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the abutment surface (41) comprises an elastically deformable material having a Shore A hardness of 50-95, preferably 60-90, more preferably 65-80, most preferably of about 70.
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the protrusions (5) comprise attachments arranged to engage with the add-on component (4), wherein preferably the attachments comprise hooks, barbs, a roughened surface, a local thickening, or an elastic surface.
The visor assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the lens (3) comprises two notches, arranged to laterally receive the add-on component (4) and/or the protrusion (5).
An injection moulded visor (2), comprising at least two protrusions (5) extending from a surface of the visor (2), said protrusions (5) being integrally formed with the visor (2), and wherein the at least two protrusions (5) are arranged to receive at least one add-on component (4), said add-on component (4) defining an abutment surface (41) arranged to engage with a lateral side (31) of the lens (3), preferably wherein at least one of said two protrusions (5) is provided with said add-on.
An add-on component (4) comprising an opening (6) arranged to receive a protrusion (5) of a visor (2),
