Abstract
The invention relates to a single-shell helmet made from a styrene or polystyrene-based foam plastic. Unlike in the case of the hitherto known one-piece helmets of this type, the invention subdivides the helmet into shell parts, which are integrated together by means of hinged areas and can be easily adapted to different head sizes by means of an adjusting system.
Claims30
A helmet comprising
- a plurality of foamed plastic shell parts,
- plate-like sections integrated within the foamed plastic shell parts interconnecting in an articulated manner the individual shell parts, and
- at least several shell parts being connected to a regulatable adjusting system for producing a usable shape of the helmet from an approximately flat configuration.
A helmet comprising
- a plurality of foamed plastic shell parts,
- plate-like sections integrated within the foamed plastic shell parts, said plate-like sections interconnect in an articulated connection said several shell parts to form a helmet, and some of said several shell parts being connected to a regulatable adjusting system for producing a usable shape of the helmet from an approximately flat configuration of the helmet used for packing purposes.
A helmet comprising
- a plurality of foamed plastic shell parts,
- plate-like sections integrated within the foamed plastic shell parts interconnecting by an articulated connection the individual shell parts as a helmet,
- at least several shell parts being connected to a regulatable adjusting system for producing a usable shape of the helmet from an approximately flat configuration and the shell parts include a central part, a forehead part, a back of the head part and two side parts as five shell parts, which have facing lateral surfaces.
Process for the production of a helmet from foamed plastic with several shell parts and plate-like sections interconnecting in an articulated manner the shell parts, said process comprising
- placing the plate-like sections in a mould, and
- foaming in a single process step the shell parts of the helmet in an approximately flattened, spread-out configuration around the plate-like sections.
Process for the production of a helmet from foamed plastic with several shell parts and plate-like sections forming a radial hinged plate, interconnecting in an articulated manner the shell parts, said process comprising
- placing the hinged plate in a mould, and
- foaming in one process step the shell parts of the helmet in an approximately flat configuration having a spread-out form around the hinged plate.
