Abstract
An adjustable helmet, particularly a cyclist's helmet having at least one longitudinal spar which is intended to be positioned above the parting, two end pieces one of which is intended to be positioned above the forehead and the other one above the back of the head. Guides between the end pieces and the longitudinal spar which are aligned approximately in parallel with the parting. Two lateral elements which are intended to be positioned above the temples, guides between the end pieces and the lateral elements which are aligned obliquely to the parting, and an adjusting and/or locating device for the relative position of the longitudinal spar, end pieces, and lateral elements.
Claims23
An adjustable helmet with a parting, particularly a cyclist's helmet, comprising;
- at least two longitudinal spars (1, 1′) which are intended to be positioned above the parting, the longitudinal spars being approximately parallel,
- two end pieces (3, 3′) one of which is intended to be positioned above the forehead and the other one above the back of the head,
- guides (11, 11′, 12, 12′) between the end pieces (3, 3′) and the longitudinal spars (1, 1′) which are aligned approxmiately in parallel with the parting,
- two lateral elements (9, 9′) which are intended to be positioned above the temples,
- guides (17, 18, 17′, 18′) between the end pieces (3, 3′) and the lateral elements (9, 9′) which are aligned obliquely to the parting, and
- an adjusting and/or locating device (20, 24) for the relative position of the longitudinal spars (1, 1′), end pieces (3, 3′), and lateral elements (9, 9′).
An adjustable helmet with a parting, particularly a cyclist's helmet, comprising:
- at least one longitudinal spar (1, 1′) which is intended to be positioned above the parting,
- two end pieces (3, 3′) one of which is intended to be positioned above the forehead and the other one above the back of the head, the end pieces (3, 3′) having legs (7, 7′, 8, 8′) aligned in a U shape or V shape which are engaged by the guides (17, 17′, 18, 18′) aligned obliquely to the parting,
- guides (11, 11′, 12, 12′) between the end pieces (3, 3′) and the longitudinal spar (1, 1′) which are aligned approximately in parallel with the parting,
- two lateral elements (9, 9′) which are intended to be positioned above the temples,
- guides (17, 18, 17′, 18′) between the end pieces (3, 3′) and the lateral elements (9, 9′) which are aligned obliquely to the parting, and
- an adjusting and/or locating device (20, 24) for the relative position of the longitudinal spar (1, 1′), end pieces (3, 3′), and lateral elements (9, 9′).
An adjustable helmet with a parting, particularly a cyclist's helmet, comprising:
- at least one longitudinal spar (1, 1′) which are intended to be positioned above the parting,
- two end pieces (3, 3′) one of which is intended to be positioned above the forehead and the other one above the back of the head,
- guides (11, 11′, 12, 12′) between the end pieces (3, 3′) and the longitudinal spar (1, 1′) which are aligned approximately in parallel with the parting,
