Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of helmets, in particular to a helmet ring which can be detachably mounted on a helmet. Background Art

[0002] Helmets are often used in military, construction, mining, fieldwork, and some sports to protect the head. When using a helmet, it's often necessary to use additional equipment such as headphones, microphones, cameras, headlights, and visors. These additional equipment are typically used selectively, sometimes using one, sometimes not, and sometimes not at all. Integrating all of these additional equipment into the helmet would result in unnecessary waste and increase the weight of the helmet. Consequently, helmet bands have been designed. These bands can be mounted on the helmet and fixed to the helmet by adjusting their size to create a tight fit. The additional equipment is then attached to the band. Existing helmet bands only use a single tight fit. Over time and due to the helmet's movement, the bands can become loose and shift position on the helmet, causing the headlight mounted on the front to move to the side or even fall off. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the installation and matching between the helmet cap ring and the helmet, the present invention proposes a helmet cap ring to improve the installation and matching performance of the helmet cap ring and the helmet.

[0006] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the helmet cap ring; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the helmet band from another perspective; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the local structure of the helmet band; Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a suspension arm according to another embodiment; Figure 5 This is a schematic structural diagram of a suspension arm from another perspective of another embodiment.

[0007] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0008] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The helmet band includes a band body and an adjustment strap 2. The band body is connected at both ends by the adjustment strap 2, forming a loop with the band body and the adjustment strap 2, which can be adjusted to adjust the size of the loop. The band body is placed on the helmet and the adjustment strap 2 is adjusted to secure the band body and the adjustment strap 2 to the helmet. The band body includes a front mounting portion 11 and two side mounting portions 12. The front mounting portion 11 is located directly opposite the adjustment strap 2. The side mounting portions 12 are located between the front mounting portion 11 and the adjustment strap 2, with two side mounting portions 12 located on the left and right sides. When the helmet is worn with the band installed, the front mounting portion 11 is positioned above the wearer's forehead, and the adjustment strap 2 is positioned at the back of the wearer's head. The front mounting portion 11 has four threaded holes 6, which can be used to attach additional equipment such as cameras, lights, and night vision devices to the front mounting portion 11 by screws engaging the threaded holes 6. This simple structure allows for easy installation and removal. Additional equipment only requires corresponding holes, eliminating the need for complex mounting and fitting mechanisms. The front mounting portion 11 is provided with a large through hole 15 in the area surrounded by the four threaded holes 6. The large through hole 15 can not only reduce the weight of the helmet band and save materials, but also make the front mounting portion 11 more beautiful. Tracks 7 are provided on both side mounting portions 12. Additional equipment such as headphones, microphones, masks, gas masks, etc. slide into the tracks 7 through the structure that cooperates with the tracks 7, and can be moved along the tracks 7 to adjust their positions. The entire band body is a left-right symmetrical structure. Additional equipment of similar weight can be installed on the left and right tracks 7 respectively, so that the force on the helmet band is balanced. The two tracks 7 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides are more convenient for installing additional equipment such as masks, gas masks, etc. that are larger in size and heavier in weight. The hat band body is provided with a through hanging hole 9 on both sides of the front mounting part 11. The helmet is provided with a hook connected to an elastic band. When a night vision device is installed on the front mounting part 11, the hook is used to hang on the night vision device. When the night vision device is not installed on the front mounting part 11, the hook is hung on the hanging hole 9 without hanging down or hanging elsewhere, causing inconvenience in use.

[0009] Each of the two side mounting portions 12 is equipped with two clips, each comprising a connecting arm 31, an intermediate arm 32, and a suspension arm 33. The connecting arm 31 and the intermediate arm 32 are located below the side mounting portion 12. The upper end of the connecting arm 31 is connected to the side mounting portion 12, while the ends of the intermediate arm 32 are connected to the lower end of the connecting arm 31 and the lower end of the suspension arm 33, respectively. The suspension arm 33 is located inside the helmet band body, with its upper portion extending above the connecting arm 31, facing the side mounting portion 12. The upper portion of the suspension arm 33 is provided with a mounting hole 30, which is used to mate with the helmet suspension inside the helmet. Alternatively, the helmet suspension can be mounted to the suspension arm using screws that engage the mounting holes 30 of the suspension arm 33. The helmet suspension is located inside the helmet, contacting and engaging the wearer's head, enhancing wearer comfort. Currently, the helmet suspension is directly attached to the helmet using screws. However, for bulletproof helmets with high ballistic protection requirements, the area where the helmet is connected to the screws is often a weak point, reducing the helmet's ballistic performance. The present invention directly mounts the helmet suspension on the suspension arm 33, eliminating the need for the screw fixing method used in traditional helmets. This creates a nail-free helmet, eliminates the weak point of bulletproof helmets, and significantly improves the helmet's ballistic performance. After the helmet collar is installed on the helmet, the collar body and the adjustment strap form a tight fit with the helmet on the outside. Simultaneously, the suspension arm 33 is inserted into the helmet and fits with the suspension inside the helmet. The two side portions of the helmet are inserted and clamped between the lower portion of the side mounting portion 12 and the suspension arm 33, as well as between the connecting arm 31 and the suspension arm 33. The middle arm 32 also has a supporting effect on the helmet, further strengthening the installation and fit of the helmet collar, ensuring a more secure and tight fit between the helmet collar and the helmet, and preventing the helmet collar from loosening or shifting. The four buckles are arranged symmetrically about the axis of symmetry of the collar body, ensuring a more balanced force on the helmet collar and a more stable installation and fit within the helmet. The connecting arm 31 and the intermediate arm 32 are integrally formed. The end of the intermediate arm 32 connecting to the suspension arm 33 is provided with a threaded hole. The lower end of the suspension arm is provided with a through-hole 35. Screws are screwed sequentially into the through-hole 35 and the threaded hole to connect the intermediate arm 32 and the suspension arm 33. The intermediate arm 32 and the suspension arm 33 are formed separately and detachably connected, allowing them to be installed when needed and removed when not needed, providing flexibility based on actual needs. The suspension arm 33 can also be integrally formed with the intermediate arm 32 and the connecting arm 31. Alternatively, the connecting arm 31, the intermediate arm 32, and the suspension arm 33 can be formed separately, with the connecting arm 31 and the intermediate arm 32, and the intermediate arm 32 and the suspension arm 33, assembled together through detachable connections.

[0010] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The cap band body is provided with a flip button 4 and a lock button 5 at each end. The flip button 4 is hingedly connected to the cap band body, allowing it to rotate relative to the body and buckle against it. A magnet 8 is provided on the side of the flip button 4 closest to the body. One end of the adjusting strap 2 is connected to the flip button 4, and the other end passes through the lock button 5. The adjusting strap is provided with a serrated strip 21. The lock button 5 comprises serrations on either side of the adjusting strap 2 and an elastic pressure piece. The serrations cooperate with the serrated strip 21, and the elastic pressure piece presses the adjusting strap against the serrations. In its natural state, the elastic pressure piece presses the adjusting strap against the serrations, which cooperate with the serrations 21, locking the adjusting strap and preventing it from moving relative to the lock button. When external force is applied to the adjusting strap, pushing the strap against the elastic pressure piece, the serrations disengage, and the lock button releases. The adjusting strap can move relative to the lock button to adjust the size of the loop formed by the cap band body and the adjusting strap. When the flip button 4 is pressed against the helmet collar, the adjusting strap 2 is tightened, the helmet collar and the adjusting strap are tightly clamped on the helmet, and the magnet 8 is attracted to the helmet, thereby increasing the locking force between the flip button 4 and the helmet collar, making the helmet collar and the helmet fit more firmly. When the helmet collar needs to be loosened, the flip button 4 is manually rotated outward.

[0011] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The suspension arm of this embodiment differs slightly in shape from the previous embodiment. The suspension arm 36 is in the shape of an elongated plate, with a through-hole 35 at its lower end and a mounting hole 30 at its upper end. A soft cushion 37 is provided on the suspension arm 36, through which the suspension arm 36 passes. The cushion 37 directly contacts the wearer's head, enhancing comfort and providing protection. A Velcro strip 38 is attached to the side of the cushion 37 near the connecting arm. This strip is designed to attach to the inner wall of the helmet, strengthening the connection between the suspension arm 36 and the helmet, thereby further enhancing the fit between the helmet bezel and the helmet.

[0012] The helmet cap ring provided by the present invention is provided with two buckles on each of the two side mounting parts. The buckles are inserted into the interior of the helmet and cooperate with the helmet suspension inside the helmet. The two side parts of the helmet are inserted and clamped between the side mounting parts and the buckles. The buckles also have a lifting effect on the helmet, further strengthening the installation and cooperation between the helmet cap ring and the helmet, making the helmet cap ring and the helmet more firmly installed and more tightly matched, and the helmet cap ring is not easy to loosen or shift.
