AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a sports helmet with a movable visor that can be adjusted to different users with or without eyeglasses. The unique feature is that the pivoting centers of the visor can be moved relative to the helmet shell, allowing for tilting of the visor while wearing eyeglasses. This prevents the visor from hitting the eyeglasses and creates space for the visor to move without pushing the spectacles. Additionally, a sealing element is provided on the helmet shell to better seal the face opening and prevent damage to the visor.

Problems solved by technology

For eyeglasses wearers, the problem has existed in many cases that, during flipping-down of the visor, the lower visor rim or the lower visor rim region collides with the eyeglasses, especially their eyeglass frames.
In some cases, there was not even enough free space present behind the visor for accommodation of the glasses.

Abstract

A sports helmet arrangement includes a helmet that has a helmet shell, a visor and a bearing device having a left and right bearing arrangement. The visor is mounted on the helmet shell by the bearing arrangements in a way that it can be pivoted between a protective position largely covering a face opening and a released position largely exposing the face opening. The helmet defines a bracing portion for the visor in the region of its helmet-shell rim bounding the face opening. Each of the pivot axes can be displaced respectively from an upper position lying closer to the helmet-shell upper side into a lower position spaced further apart from the helmet-shell upper side.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Applicant claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of Austrian Application No. A 50432 / 2018 filed May 28, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a sports helmet arrangement, especially for eyeglasses wearers during the participation in winter sports and / or summer sports, having a helmet and, on a helmet shell of the helmet, a visor linked pivotably thereon.2. Description of the Related Art[0003]Sports helmet arrangements are already known in which the helmet together with its helmet shell is not designed as a full-visor helmet and the otherwise open facial region of the user or of the wearer of the helmet is covered by the flipped-down visor for formation of the protective position, especially for the region of the eyes. Thus, for example, during the participation in a sport, such as during skiing, for example, the headwind and, as the case...
