[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-115410 Summary of the Invention

[0007] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0008] Each support portion for supporting a plurality of interior components is independently welded to the cap body. At this time, after welding, the protruding direction of each support portion and the welding position itself deviate from the desired (ideal) direction or position, so that there are many deviations from the desired (ideal) relative positions between the supported objects of the plurality of support portions. For example, the deviation of the relative positions of the harness bracket and the lining support portion makes it easy for the harness to be clamped between the lining and the harness bracket with a force greater than a predetermined load when assembling the lining. In addition, the deviation of the relative positions of the harness bracket and the pad support portion makes it easy for the harness to be clamped between the cheek pad and the harness bracket when assembling the cheek pad. As a result, when assembling the lining and cheek pad, the wiring portion of the harness may be clamped, which may cause the harness to be broken.

[0018] Figure 7 It is shown in Figure 3 A front view of the wiring harness bracket showing the wiring harness mounted thereon. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Below, refer to Figures 1 to 7 An embodiment of a helmet and a harness bracket is described. Figures 1 to 7 , the front, back, left, right, up, and down as directions viewed from a helmet wearer are expressed as the front, back, left, right, up, and down relative to the helmet.

[0020] [helmet]

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the helmet 1 is a full-face helmet and includes a cap body 2 and harness holders 10L and 10R.

[0022] The cap body 2 forms the outer shell of the helmet. The cap body 2 is a hemispherical resin member. The material constituting the cap body 2 is selected from, for example, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), and a thermosetting resin impregnated with reinforcing fibers.

[0023] The helmet body 2 includes an opening 2a that opens forward. The opening 2a ensures the wearer's field of vision. A shield 3, which is a light-transmitting plate member, may be provided over the opening 2a. The shield 3 prevents foreign matter, rain, and wind from entering the helmet 1, thereby improving the wearer's visual confirmation.

[0024] Harness holders 10L and 10R support the wiring harnesses connected to the electronic devices installed in the helmet 1. They are attached to the inner circumference of the helmet body 2 at positions corresponding to the wearer's cheeks. Harness holder 10L is located on the left side of the helmet 1 when viewed from the wearer's perspective. Harness holder 10R is located on the right side when viewed from the wearer's perspective.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the cap 2 houses a pair of left and right liners 50L and 50R, which are interior components for absorbing shock. The liners 50L are mounted on the inner surface of the harness bracket 10L. The liners 50R are mounted on the inner surface of the harness bracket 10R.

[0026] The liners 50L and 50R are made of, for example, a foam resin such as expanded polystyrene. The liners 50L and 50R have a shape that conforms to the inner circumference of the cap body 2 and are symmetrical with each other. Furthermore, the helmet 1 may include a lining in addition to the liners 50L and 50R, for example, to cover the entire head, such as the back or top of the head.

[0027] The cap body 2 houses a pair of left and right cheek pads 60L and 60R, which serve as interior padding. The cheek pads 60L and 60R abut the wearer's cheeks, improving the fit between the helmet 1 and the wearer and enhancing the wearing experience. The cheek pads 60L and 60R are symmetrical with each other. They are positioned further inward of the cap body 2 than the inner liners 50L and 50R. The cheek pads 60L are fixed to the cap body 2, the harness holder 10L, and the inner liners 50L. Similarly, the cheek pads 60R are fixed to the cap body 2, the harness holder 10R, and the inner liners 50R.

[0028] In addition to the cheek pads 60L and 60R, the helmet 1 may also include various internal pads, such as a front pad that contacts the front of the head, a rear pad that contacts the back of the head, a side pad that contacts the side of the head, and a top pad that contacts the top of the head. These internal pads have a lower resiliency than the linings 50L and 50R on the inside of the cap body 2, thereby improving the cushioning properties against the head. Furthermore, the helmet 1 may also include a chin strap (not shown) for securing the wearer's chin to the helmet.

[0029] [Wire harness bracket]

[0030] Below, refer to Figure 3The harness bracket 10R will be described. Figure 3 In the figure, the left side is the front side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1, and the right side is the rear side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the harness bracket 10R includes a base 11R. The base 11R has a plate shape that is three-dimensionally curved to follow the inner surface of the cap body 2. The base 11R has an S-shape when viewed from a viewpoint opposite to the inner surface of the base 11R. The base 11R is composed of a rectangular plate-shaped upper region 11a and a lower region 11b. The lower region 11b extends to the lower front of the upper region 11a and extends to the front of the upper region 11a. The width of the upper region 11a in the vertical direction is greater than the width of the lower region 11b in the vertical direction. The lower region 11b is integrated with the upper region 11a and is arranged on the inner side of the upper region 11a in the left-right direction of the cap body 2.

[0032] The base 11R includes a plurality of fixing portions 12 having threaded holes. The harness holder 10R is secured to the cap body 2 by screwing each fixing portion 12 to the cap body 2 while the outer surface of the base 11R abuts the inner surface of the cap body 2. The harness holder 10R is not limited to being secured to the cap body 2 by screws; for example, it can be attached to the cap body 2 using any other fixing method, such as an adhesive such as hot melt adhesive or double-sided tape.

[0033] The upper region 11a of the harness holder 10R includes a harness support portion 20R as an example of a first support portion. The harness support portion 20R includes a connection member support portion 21R and wiring support portions 22R to 26R. The connection member support portion 21R and wiring support portions 22R to 26R are provided on the inner surface of the upper region 11a.

[0034] The connection member support portion 21R supports a connection member in a wiring harness connected to electronic equipment installed in the helmet 1. For example, a connection member in a wiring harness is a relay connector that electrically connects the wiring. The connection member support portion 21R is located in the lower rear area of ​​the upper region 11a. The lower region 11b is not located below the connection member support portion 21R; instead, the lower region 11b is located in front of the connection member support portion 21R in the front-to-back direction. The connection member support portion 21R has a hook shape that protrudes from the inner surface of the upper region 11a toward the inside of the helmet body 2 and further extends downward. Two locking protrusions 21Ra are provided on the connection member support portion 21R. The connection member support portion 21R positions the connection member on the base 11R by placing the connection member between the two locking protrusions 21Ra and pressing the connection member toward the inner surface of the upper region 11a.

[0035] The wiring supports 22R-26R support wiring harnesses connected to electronic devices installed in the helmet 1. The wiring supports 22R-26R are arranged at the same height in an area above the connection member support 21R in the upper region 11a. The wiring supports 22R-26R are arranged in a row from the front toward the rear in the order of wiring supports 22R, 23R, 24R, 25R, and 26R.

[0036] The wiring support 22R is provided at the front end of the upper region 11a. The wiring support 22R consists of two vertically aligned support pieces that protrude from the upper region 11a toward the inside of the cap 2 and are curved so as to approach each other. The wiring support 22R holds the wiring in place within the base 11R by sandwiching it. Furthermore, the wiring support 26R provided at the rear end of the upper region 11a has the same structure as the wiring support 22R.

[0037] The wiring supports 23R to 25R are located in the front-to-back center of the upper region 11a. The wiring supports 23R and 25R are downwardly curved support pieces that protrude from the upper region 11a toward the inside of the cap 2. The wiring support 24R is an upwardly curved support piece that protrudes from the upper region 11a toward the inside of the cap 2. The wiring supports 23R to 25R position the wiring on the chassis 11R by supporting the wiring from above with the wiring supports 23R and 25R and from below with the wiring support 24R.

[0038] The lower region 11b of the harness holder 10R includes a lining support portion 30R as an example of a second support portion and a pad support portion 40R as an example of a third support portion. The lining support portion 30R has a cylindrical shape that protrudes from the inner surface of the lower region 11b toward the inside of the cap body 2.

[0039] The liner support portion 30R is inserted into the insertion hole 51 (see Figure 5 ), thereby positioning the lining 50R on the base 11R. Since the lining support portion 30R is located below the harness support portion 20R, the lining 50R is installed away from the wiring supported by the harness support portion 20R. Therefore, when installing the lining 50R, the wiring is less likely to be caught.

[0040] The pad support portion 40R is provided in the lower region 11b, below and forward of the liner support portion 30R. The pad support portion 40R includes an engaged portion 41 and an expanded diameter portion 42. The engaged portion 41 has a cylindrical shape that protrudes from the inner surface of the lower region 11b toward the inside of the cap body 2. The expanded diameter portion 42 is a flange portion having a larger diameter than the engaged portion 41 and is provided at the top end of the engaged portion 41.

[0041] The pad support portion 40R is connected to the engaged portion 41 and the first engaging portion 65a (see Figure 6 ) engages, supporting the cheek pad 60R and positioning it on the base 11R. Since the pad support portion 40R is positioned below the harness support portion 20R, the cheek pad 60R is mounted away from the wiring supported by the harness support portion 20R. Therefore, the wiring is less likely to be caught in the cheek pad 60R when it is mounted.

[0042] By providing the harness support portion 20R, the inner lining support portion 30R, and the pad support portion 40R on the base 11R, the positions of the harness, inner lining 50R, and cheek pad 60R are relatively regulated with respect to the harness holder 10R, which is a single resin molded part. This prevents the wiring from being pinched between the inner lining 50R and the base 11R, and between the cheek pad 60R and the base 11R, when the inner lining 50R and cheek pad 60R are assembled. In other words, the wiring in the harness can be prevented from being pinched.

[0043] In particular, if wiring arranged above the liner support portion 30R sags even slightly due to its own weight, it is likely to become caught between the liner 50R and the base 11R due to deviations in the position or extension direction of the liner support portion 30R. Furthermore, if wiring arranged above the pad support portion 40R sags even slightly due to its own weight, it is likely to become caught between the cheek pad 60R and the base 11R due to deviations in the position of the pad support portion 40R. In this regard, if the relative positions of the harness support portion 20R, the liner support portion 30R, and the pad support portion 40R are defined with respect to the harness holder 10R, which is a single resin molded part, the aforementioned effect of suppressing entrapment is further enhanced, as deviations in the support direction or relative positions are less likely to occur. In addition, because the lining support portion 30R and the pad support portion 40R are not located below the connecting member where more wiring is concentrated, the wiring concentrated on the connecting member can be prevented from being clamped even if there is no excessive tension on the wiring concentrated on the connecting member, such as suppressing its sagging.

[0044] Furthermore, in the base 11R, the connection member support portion 21R, the lining support portion 30R, and the pad support portion 40R are arranged at different positions in the vertical and front-back directions, that is, in the circumferential direction of the cap body 2. This improves workability when assembling the lining 50R and the cheek pad 60R.

[0045] Furthermore, the number of components can be reduced compared to a configuration in which the harness support portion 20R, the lining support portion 30R, and the pad support portion 40R are configured as separate components. Furthermore, in a configuration in which the harness support portion 20R, the lining support portion 30R, and the pad support portion 40R are configured as separate components, each component needs to be assembled to the cap body 2. In contrast, in this embodiment, only the harness bracket 10R needs to be assembled to the cap body 2. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the helmet 1.

[0046] Below, refer to Figure 4 The harness bracket 10L will be described. Figure 4 In the figure, the right side is the front side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1, and the left side is the rear side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the wiring harness bracket 10L includes a base 11L. The base 11L has a shape that is roughly plane-symmetrical with respect to the base 11R included in the wiring harness bracket 10R. That is, the base 11L has a plate shape that is three-dimensionally curved in a manner that follows the inner surface of the cap body 2. The base 11L has an inverted S shape when viewed from a viewpoint opposite to the inner surface of the base 11L. The base 11L is composed of an upper area 11a and a lower area 11b. In the wiring harness bracket 10L, the lower area 11b is also integrated with the upper area 11a, and is arranged on the inner side of the upper area 11a in the left-right direction of the cap body 2. The base 11L includes a plurality of fixing portions 12 having threaded holes, and the wiring harness bracket 10L is fixed to the cap body 2 by screwing the fixing portions 12 to the cap body 2.

[0048] The base 11L includes a through hole 13 extending across the upper region 11a and the lower region 11b. For example, a wiring harness of an electronic device mounted on the outer surface of the cap 2 is passed through the through hole 13 and guided toward the inside of the base 11L.

[0049] The upper region 11a of the harness holder 10L includes a harness support portion 20L as an example of a first support portion. The harness support portion 20L includes a connection member support portion 21L and wiring support portions 22L to 26L. The connection member support portion 21L and wiring support portions 22L to 26L are provided on the inner surface of the upper region 11a.

[0050] The connecting member support portion 21L supports the connecting member in the wiring harness connected to the electronic equipment provided in the helmet 1. The connecting member support portion 21L is located in the lower rear area of ​​the upper area 11a. The lower area 11b is not located below the connecting member support portion 21L, and the lower area 11b is located in front of the connecting member support portion 21L as a whole in the front-to-back direction. The connecting member support portion 21L is two supporting walls arranged vertically toward the inside of the cap body 2. A locking protrusion 21La is provided at the top end of the connecting member support portion 21L. The connecting member support portion 21L supports the connecting member and positions it on the base 11L by arranging the connecting member to be sandwiched between the connecting member support portions 21L.

[0051] The connection member support portion 21L includes two auxiliary support walls 21Lb near the connection member support portion 21L. The two auxiliary support walls 21Lb support the connection member disposed between the connection member support portions 21L, thereby suppressing rattling of the connection member.

[0052] The wiring supports 22L to 26L support the wiring in the wiring harness connected to the electronic devices installed in the helmet 1. The wiring support 22L is located at the front end of the upper region 11a. The wiring support 23L is located behind the wiring support 22L and at the same height as the wiring support 22L. The wiring supports 22L and 23L are two support pieces arranged in a vertical direction, protruding from the upper region 11a toward the inside of the cap body 2 and curved so as to approach each other.

[0053] The wiring support portion 24L is provided above the through-hole 13 and below the wiring support portions 22L and 23L. The wiring support portion 24L is composed of two support pieces that are inclined upward and rearward. They protrude from the upper region 11a toward the inside of the cap body 2 and are curved so as to approach each other. For example, the wiring support portion 24L supports the wiring that is led through the through-hole 13 to the inside of the base 11L.

[0054] Wiring supports 25L and 26L are two support pieces arranged in the vertical direction with a larger spacing than the two support pieces that constitute wiring supports 22L and 23L. Wiring support 25L is located behind wiring support 24L and in front of wiring support 26L. Wiring support 26L is located at the rear end of upper region 11a.

[0055] The two supporting pieces constituting each of the wiring support portions 25L and 26L are curved so as to approach each other, projecting from the upper region 11a toward the inside of the cap body 2. The wiring support portions 25L and 26L support, for example, both the first wiring supported by the wiring support portions 22L and 23L and the second wiring supported by the wiring support portion 24L.

[0056] The lower region 11b of the harness holder 10L includes a lining support portion 30L as an example of a second support portion and a pad support portion 40L as an example of a third support portion. The lining support portion 30L and the pad support portion 40L have the same structure as the lining support portion 30R and the pad support portion 40R, and therefore their description is omitted.

[0057] Similar to the harness holder 10R, the base 11L includes the harness support portion 20L, the lining support portion 30L, and the pad support portion 40L. This relatively defines the mounting positions of the harness, lining 50L, and cheek pad 60L provided on the helmet 1. This prevents the wiring of the harness from being caught when the lining 50L and cheek pad 60L are mounted.

[0058] [lining]

[0059] Below, refer to Figure 5 The liner 50R will be described. In addition, the description of the liner 50L having a shape symmetrical to the liner 50R will be omitted. Figure 5 , the left side in the figure is the front side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1 , and the right side in the figure is the rear side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1 .

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the lining 50R is arranged inside the cap body 2 so as to cover the harness holder 10R. The lining 50R has a shape curved so as to follow the inner surface of the cap body 2.

[0061] The lining 50R includes an insertion hole 51 extending through the lining 50R in its thickness direction. The insertion hole 51 is provided at a position corresponding to the lining support portion 30R of the harness holder 10R. The lining 50R is positioned on the base 11R by inserting the lining support portion 30R through the insertion hole 51.

[0062] The inner lining 50R includes a retaining portion 52, a wiring groove 53, and three recessed portions 54 on its inner surface, that is, the surface facing the cheek pad 60R. The retaining portion 52 is, for example, a recessed portion for retaining an electronic device such as a speaker. The wiring groove 53 extends from the side edge of the inner lining 50R to the retaining portion 52. The wiring of the wiring harness is routed through the wiring groove 53. The recessed portions 54 are provided with, for example, male buckles (not shown) for attaching the cheek pad 60R.

[0063] [Cheek pads]

[0064] Below, refer to Figure 6 The cheek pad 60R will be described. The description of the cheek pad 60L, which is symmetrical with the cheek pad 60R, will be omitted. Figure 6, the right side in the figure is the front side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1 , and the left side in the figure is the rear side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1 .

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, the cheek pad 60R includes a main body 61. The main body 61 is composed of a cushioning material such as polyurethane foam and a covering member such as cloth that covers the cushioning material. The main body 61 has a shape that follows the inner surface of the liner 50R. The main body 61 abuts against the wearer's cheek, thereby improving the fit between the helmet 1 and the wearer. Furthermore, the main body 61 may include a slit 61a for inserting the chin strap.

[0066] The cheek pad 60R includes a plate 62. The plate 62 is a flexible resin plate that maintains the shape of the cushioning member that constitutes the main body 61. The plate 62 is provided on the surface of the main body 61 opposite the surface that contacts the wearer's cheek. The plate 62 is the member of the cheek pad 60R that faces the inner surface of the lining 50R.

[0067] Three female snaps 63 are attached to the main body 61. These female snaps 63 are attached to the surface of the main body 61 facing the lining 50R, protruding from holes provided in the plate 62. The cheek pad 60R is secured to the inner side of the lining 50R by the engagement of the female snaps 63 with the male snaps provided by the lining 50R. The number of female snaps 63 and the male snaps provided by the lining 50R is not limited and can be four or more, or two or less.

[0068] The cheek pad 60R includes an extension portion 64. The extension portion 64 is a region where the covering body constituting the main body 61 extends below the surface of the main body 61 facing the lining 50R. A fixing piece 65 is provided at the tip of the extension portion 64.

[0069] The fixing piece 65 is made of a flexible resin member. The fixing piece 65 includes a first engaging portion 65a located at the front end of the fixing piece 65 and a second engaging portion 65b located at the rear end of the fixing piece 65. The fixing piece 65 is inserted between the cap body 2 and the lining 50R, and the first engaging portion 65a engages with the engaged portion 41, thereby positioning the cheek pad 60R on the harness bracket 10R. In addition, the second engaging portion 65b is engaged with a protruding engaging portion (not shown) provided on the cap body 2. By providing the fixing piece 65 at the top end of the extension portion 64 formed of a covering body such as cloth, the fixing piece 65 can be inserted between the cap body 2 and the lining 50R via the extension portion 64.

[0070] [Effects of Implementation Methods]

[0071] Below, refer to Figure 7The function of the helmet 1 will be described. Specifically, the steps for assembling the harness bracket 10R, the lining 50R, and the cheek pad 60R to the cap body 2 will be described below. In addition, the harness bracket 10L, the lining 50L, and the cheek pad 60L are assembled to the cap body 2 in the same steps. Figure 7 , the left side in the figure is the front side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1 , and the right side in the figure is the rear side viewed from the wearer of the helmet 1 .

[0072] First, the fixing portion 12 of the harness holder 10R is screwed to the cap 2. This secures the harness holder 10R to the cap 2. As described above, the method for securing the harness holder 10R to the cap 2 is not limited to screwing, and any other method may be used to secure the harness holder 10R to the cap 2.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the harness 70 connected to the multiple electronic devices installed in the helmet 1 is then assembled to the harness holder 10R. Specifically, the harness 70 is composed of a connecting member 72, which is used to relay the wiring 71 connected to each of the multiple electronic devices. The connecting member 72 is, for example, a relay connector. The wiring 71 is supported by the wiring support portions 22R to 26R and thus positioned on the base 11R. Furthermore, the connecting member 72 is supported by the connecting member support portion 21R and thus positioned on the base 11R.

[0074] The wire harness support portion 20R is positioned above the lining support portion 30R and the pad support portion 40R, so that the space above the lining support portion 30R and the pad support portion 40R can be used for routing the wire harness 70 .

[0075] Next, the lining 50R is mounted on the harness holder 10R. Specifically, the lining 50R is inserted through the lining support portion 30R in the insertion hole 51 and fixed to the chassis 11R in a positioned state. Furthermore, electronic devices are placed in the holding portion 52 and the wiring 71 is placed in the wiring groove 53 .

[0076] Next, the cheek pad 60R is assembled with respect to the harness holder 10R, the lining 50R, and the cap 2. Specifically, the second engaging portion 65b of the cheek pad 60R is first engaged with a locking portion (not shown) provided on the cap 2. The cheek pad 60R then inserts the fixing piece 65 between the cap 2 and the lining 50R from below the cap 2, engaging the first engaging portion 65a with the engaged portion 41. At this time, because the pad support portion 40R is positioned below the harness support portion 20R and the lining support portion 30R, the first engaging portion 65a can easily engage with the engaged portion 41. This improves the workability of assembling the cheek pad 60R.

[0077] Furthermore, the cheek pad 60R is fixed to the inner surface of the lining 50R by engaging the female buckle 63 with the male buckle of the lining 50R. Through the above steps, the harness holder 10R, the lining 50R and the cheek pad 60R are assembled to the cap 2.

[0078] [Effects of the embodiment]

[0079] According to the above-described embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0080] (1) Providing the harness supports 20L, 20R, the inner lining supports 30L, 30R, and the pad supports 40L, 40R on the chassis 11L, 11R relatively defines the assembly positions of the harness 70, the inner linings 50L, 50R, and the cheek pads 60L, 60R. This prevents the wiring 71 of the harness 70 from being caught during assembly of the inner linings 50L, 50R and the cheek pads 60L, 60R. Consequently, disconnection of the wiring 71 of the harness 70 can be prevented.

[0081] (2) Since the lining support portions 30L and 30R are positioned below the harness support portions 20L and 20R, the linings 50L and 50R are mounted away from the wiring 71 supported by the harness support portions 20L and 20R. This prevents the wiring 71 of the harness 70 from being caught when the linings 50L and 50R are mounted.

[0082] (3) Since the pad supports 40L and 40R are positioned below the harness supports 20L and 20R, the cheek pads 60L and 60R are mounted away from the wiring 71 supported by the harness supports 20L and 20R. This prevents the wiring 71 of the harness 70 from being caught when the cheek pads 60L and 60R are mounted.

[0083] (4) Since the harness supports 20L and 20R are located above the lining supports 30L and 30R and the pad supports 40L and 40R, the space above the lining supports 30L and 30R and the pad supports 40L and 40R can be used for routing the harness 70 .

[0084] (5) Since the pad support portions 40L and 40R are located below the harness support portions 20L and 20R and the lining support portions 30L and 30R, workability when assembling the cheek pads 60L and 60R can be improved.

[0085] (6) The connection member supports 21L, 21R, the liner supports 30L, 30R, and the pad supports 40L, 40R are arranged at different positions in the vertical direction and the circumferential direction of the cap body 2. This improves the assembly workability of the liners 50L, 50R and the cheek pads 60L, 60R.

[0086] Furthermore, the above-described embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications.

[0087] The above embodiment illustrates a configuration in which the connection member support portions 21L, 21R, the liner support portions 30L, 30R, and the pad support portions 40L, 40R are arranged at different positions in the vertical direction and the circumferential direction of the cap body 2. However, as long as the liner 50L, 50R and the cheek pads 60L, 60R can be properly assembled, the arrangement of the connection member support portions 21L, 21R, the liner support portions 30L, 30R, and the pad support portions 40L, 40R is not limited. For example, the connection member support portions 21L, 21R and the pad support portions 40L, 40R may be arranged at the same position in the circumferential direction of the cap body 2. In this case, by arranging the connection member support portions 21L, 21R and the pad support portions 40L, 40R sufficiently apart in the vertical direction, the workability during assembly of the cheek pads 60L, 60R can be improved.

[0088] The above embodiment illustrates a configuration in which the pad supports 40L, 40R are positioned below the harness supports 20L, 20R and the liner supports 30L, 30R. However, this is not limiting. For example, the pad supports 40L, 40R may be positioned at the same height as the liner supports 30L, 30R. In this case, by arranging the liner supports 30L, 30R and the pad supports 40L, 40R sufficiently apart in the circumferential direction of the cap body 2, ease of assembly of the cheek pads 60L, 60R can be improved.

[0089] The above embodiment illustrates a structure in which the harness support parts 20L and 20R are located above the lining support parts 30L and 30R and the pad support parts 40L and 40R. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the harness support parts 20L and 20R may be arranged at the same height as the lining support parts 30L and 30R. In addition, the harness support parts 20L and 20R may be arranged at the same height as the pad support parts 40L and 40R. Even in these cases, by arranging the harness support parts 20L and 20R to be sufficiently separated from the lining support parts 30L and 30R and the pad support parts 40L and 40R in the circumferential direction of the cap body 2, it is possible to prevent the wiring 71 from being clamped when the lining 50L and 50R and the cheek pads 60L and 60R are assembled.

[0090] The shapes of the liners 50L and 50R are not limited as long as they can be mounted on the liner supports 30L and 30R. For example, the liners 50L and 50R do not need to be symmetrical with respect to each other. Furthermore, the shapes of the cheek pads 60L and 60R are not limited as long as they can be mounted on the pad supports 40L and 40R. For example, the cheek pads 60L and 60R do not need to be symmetrical with respect to each other.

[0091] The shapes and arrangements of the various components of the harness supports 20L and 20R can be appropriately determined based on the shapes of the wiring 71 and connecting members 72 that constitute the harness 70, as well as the routing of the harness 70. For example, the above embodiment illustrates a configuration in which the connecting member supports 21L and 21R have different shapes. However, the connecting member supports 21L and 21R may have the same shape. Furthermore, the harness supports 20L and 20R may be symmetrical with respect to each other.

[0092] The arrangement of the harness supports 20L, 20R, the lining supports 30L, 30R, and the pad supports 40L, 40R in the harness holders 10L, 10R is not limited to that of this embodiment. Specifically, any arrangement may be used as long as it prevents the wiring 71 from becoming trapped when the linings 50L, 50R and cheek pads 60L, 60R are assembled. For example, the harness holders 10L, 10R may be arranged to be symmetrical with respect to each other.

[0093] The above embodiment illustrates a full-face helmet structure. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the helmet 1 may be a flip-up helmet with a chin bar that can be raised, an open-face helmet, a helmet with a detachable chin bar, or a removable helmet in which the chin bar can be rotated and fixed to the back of the head.
