Abstract
The safety helmet for motorcyclists includes a helmet shell and a visor for face cutout of the shell. The visor is attached to the shell in a tilting or sliding manner. The shell generally forms a U-shaped visor frame with a continuous groove into which the similarly curved, transparent visor plate is inserted and attached by spring loaded catch elements. The visor frame accommodates the visor plate only at its upper edge in a groove which is opened downwards. The two side portions of the visor plate have swing hooks which are open downwards and can be hooked into pivoting bearing points on the visor frame. At least one of the catch elements is arranged between the side ends and can be swung and locked into a catch opening provided in the visor frame.
