Benefits of technology

The present invention is a mounting device for a helmet that uses foamed synthetic resin materials to provide repulsive resilience against deforming stress. This prevents misalignment or dropping of the microphone (MIC) during driving or other activities, and ensures proper voice input from the MIC. The technical effect of this invention is to improve the reliability and stability of the helmet's MIC mounting system.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the prior art of the Patent literature 1, the body may be moved out of the arranged position by displaced clips or flexible tube by wind or shake during driving or careless touch on the MIC with a hand or a shoulder, or MIC may not properly take voice input because the clips slip off and the MIC drops from the helmet.

first embodiment

[0026]The following is description of an open-face helmet (hereinafter, “helmet”) A which provides a mounting device 1 of the first embodiment in the present invention referring to the drawings, FIGS. 1-4. It should be noted that each embodiment set forth below does not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0027]The helmet A provides an impact absorbing liner (not shown) molded with a foamed polystyrene material or a material having equivalent deformation function to the foamed polystyrene materials on the inner surface of the head B1 of a helmet shell B molded to the shape of an open-face helmet with a reinforced fiber material, a head pad (not shown) formed with such as an urethane material disposed inside the impact absorbing liner, cheek pads CL, CR (refer to FIG. 2) equipped to be removable on the inner surface of the right and left side parts BL, BR corresponding to the cheeks of the helmet shell B respectively, and a mounting device 1 supported about an axis at the left p...

second embodiment

[0049]FIG. 4 is a configuring diagram of a mounting device 1′ in the Descriptions of regions overlapping to the mounting device 1 are omitted by designating the same signs.

[0050]The mounting device 1′ is formed in a shape same as of the aforementioned mounting device 1, and a coating material 11 coats the mounting device 1′ with foamed synthetic resin materials having deformation function for the wearer D and suppleness around a plate-like core material 10 formed with a rigid synthetic resin material generating the repulsive resilience against deforming stress over the supporting part 3 to the mounting part 2 via the arm part 4.

[0051]Such the mounting device 1′ may be attached to the helmet A via the base plate 5 similar to the mounting device 1, and the same effects are expected as in the mounting device 1 by attaching to the helmet A.

[0052]Further, the mounting device 1′ maintains its shape by rigidity of the core material 10 made of rigid synthetic resin materials, so that thick...

third embodiment

[0054]FIG. 5 is a configuring diagram of a helmet A which provides the mounting device 1″ in the Descriptions of regions overlapping to the mounting device 1 are omitted by designating the same signs.

[0055]The mounting device 1″ is formed to be attached over the left to right side parts BL, BR of the helmet shell B. The supporting part 3L supported at the left side part BL via a base plate 5L and an arm part 4L connecting the supporting part 3L with the mounting part 2 are formed at the left side of the mounting part 2 arranged in the center when seen from the wearer side, and a supporting part 3R supported at the right side BR via a base plate 5R and an arm part 4R connecting the supporting part 3R with the mounting part 2 are formed at the right side of the mounting part 2.

[0056]Also, two mounting grooves 21L, 21R are formed in the mounting device 1″, the mounting groove 21L linked to the left of a mounting hole 20 and the mounting groove 21R linked to the right of the mounting h...

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to prevent a microphone from misalignment or drop caused by wind and shake during driving, and careless touch on the MIC with a hand a shoulder. There is the mounting device mounting a microphone around the mouth of a wearer of an open-face helmet, the mounting device having deformation function for the wearer and formed with foamed synthetic resin materials generating repulsive resilience against deforming stress to cover from around the mouth to the left side part of a helmet shell configuring the outmost layer of the open-face helmet.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a microphone mounting device equipped for an open-face helmet and the open-face helmet, worn by drivers of various types of vehicles such as automobiles and motorcycles, vessels such as motor boats, as well as other transportation means such as bicycles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are known in the art a microphone equipped for an open-face helmet (Hereinafter, “MIC”), as described below in the Patent Literature 1, comprising clips clamped to the helmet shell of the open-face helmet, a flexible tube attached to the clips, a MIC body attached to the flexible tube and lines inserted into the flexible tube and wired over the MIC body and connection terminals.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]As related art literature information relevant to the present invention, we note Japanese laid-open Patent Publication No. 2002-27069 [Patent literature 1].SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]According to the prior art in the Patent...
