Support structure for safety helmet

Abstract

The invention provides a new supporting structure for a shield having effects on the security of shock absorbing properties and aerodynamic characteristics and good comfortableness to wear, further suppression of a wind noise with a traveling wind and prevention of falling off of the shield due to a step part thereof caught with a road surface, or the like even if overturn is caused. The solution method of the invetion is that, the outer surface of the shield 2 is nearly flush with the outer surface of the hat body 1 when the shield 2 is fully closed, and characterised in that making the shield 2 emerge and sink in the step part 3 by lifting and lowering the shield 2 relatively to slope parts 5L and 5R when the shield 2 is moved back and forth according to the forward and backward movement of a supporting shaft 11L, and the shield 2 is vertically rotated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the installation structure of the protective cover installed on the full-face type and spray type helmets for protecting the head and face when riding various vehicles such as motorcycles and four-wheeled vehicles or mobile machines. It is an improvement of the guard installation structure in which the outer surface of the guard and the outer surface of the cap are approximately on the same plane when the guard is fully closed. Background technique [0002] According to the known technology of the present invention, at least a step portion for accommodating the shield is formed at the shield installation position of the cap body. The shroud supporting structure on the same surface is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-22329. [0003] The creation disclosed in this gazette is that when the shield is fully closed, the shield and the step difference portion (referred to as the section i...

[0009] However, if this structure is used, the thickness of the buffer pad used to absorb the impact on the wearer's head must be reduced according to the degree of inward protruding of the cap body, so that safety cannot be provided for the wearer.

[0010] In terms of ensuring the thickness of the cushion pad, although the thickness of the cushion pad can be increased to the extent that it protrudes into the inside of the cap body during manufacture, this will increase the thickness of the cap body and the cushion pad proportionally, resulting in The size of the helmet itself or its weight increases, so it cannot provide a good wearing feeling for the wearer
