Cycling helmet

Abstract

A cycling helmet preventing a chin strap from being exposed at the top of the helmet for reducing the air resistance is disclosed. In order to couple the strap to the helmet body, a tunnel is formed by a strap guide member, such as a pipe, set in the helmet body of polyurethane foam. This guide member is positioned in its place in a mold while foaming the polyurethane foam. Alternatively, the tunnel may be formed by positioning a core applied with a parting agent in the polyurethane foam while forming the helmet body and drawing the core out of the helmet body after forming the helmet body. As a further alternative, a snap buckle receiver may be integrally formed in each side edge of the helmet body. In this case, a snap buckle is coupled to an end of the chin strap which snaps into the buckle receiver.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
