Benefits of technology

This patent describes a new type of helmet windshield prop that can be used on any full-face-type helmet. The prop is designed to prevent the windshield from closing completely, allowing for better ventilation and defogging. It is easy to install and remove, and is made from a special rubber or plastic material that is flexible and resilient. The main positive effect of this new prop is that it helps to keep the helmet windshield open, improving safety and comfort for riders.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, no stand-alone full-face-type helmet windshield prop exists.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]Referring to FIG. 1 it can be seen that an embodiment of present invention consists of a top area whereby the two sides come together and touch but are not bonded together, like a closed U for example (1). The top area of the propis what affixes it to the full-face-type helmet windshield (1). The bottom of the prop consists of a piece parallel to the ground like the bottom of a U (2). The bottom of the prop is what keeps the full-face-type helmet windshield from completely closing leaving a minimal gap between the chin guard or crown area and the windshield for ventilation and defogging purposes (2).

[0012]Referring to FIG. 2 it can be seen that this embodiment of the present invention is usable on the bottom of the full-face-type helmet windshield. FIG. 2 shows the windshield in both open and closed position. (3) shows the prop affixed to the windshield with the windshield closed. Note the visible gap in the drawing of the windshield were closed (8). (4) shows the invention af...

Abstract

The invention pertains to full-face-type helmet windshields, like motorcycle helmet windshields. A modern full-face-type motorcycle helmet, where the windshield is free to be opened and closed as a piece separate from the helmet proper, has a fully open position which stops before the top protective surface or crown area of the helmet, a fully closed position where the windshield rests on the bottom protective surface or chin guard of the helmet, and 1 or more intermediate catches between the fully opened and fully closed positions. At speeds around or above 55 mph the catches do not hold the windshield in place—wind resistance forces it fully open or fully closed. To permit airflow into the helmet and prevent the windshield from being blown completely open or closed an auxiliary prop is required.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefits of the provisional patent application 61 / 642,442 filed on May 3, 2012.INTRODUCTION[0002]Currently, no stand-alone full-face-type helmet windshield prop exists. A modern full-face-type helmet, where the windshield is free to be opened and closed as a piece separate from the helmet proper, has a fully open position which stops before the top protective surface or crown area of the helmet, a fully closed position where the windshield rests on the bottom protective surface or chin guard of the helmet, and 1 or more intermediate catches between the fully opened and fully closed positions. At speeds around 55 mph most catches do not hold the windshield in place—wind resistance forces it fully open or fully closed. To permit airflow into the helmet, enabling defogging if applicable, and prevent the windshield from being blown completely open or closed an auxiliary prop is required. The aerodynamics when t...
