Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cycling equipment technology, and in particular to a protective face shield for a helmet. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing popularity of cycling, cyclists often face harsher environments, including significant sandstorms and dust. Although cyclists wear helmets, dust and sand can still enter through the gaps between the helmet and the neck, causing cyclists to inhale large amounts of dust and harming their health. Furthermore, different people of different ages and backgrounds have different facial features, and the size of dust masks may not fit the wearer properly, leaving gaps that allow dust and sand to enter the face and further damage health. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective face shield for helmets, which solves the problem that the face shield inside the helmet does not match the person's face in the existing technology, causing dust and sand to still enter the face.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a protective face shield for a helmet, including a face shield body. Fixing holes are installed on both sides of the face shield body. The fixing holes are elongated and are fitted onto a fixing buckle on the inside of the helmet. The face shield body includes an upper protective part, a front protective part, and a lower protective part. The front protective part surrounds the front of the mouth. An upper protective part is installed on the upper side of the front protective part. The edge of the upper protective part abuts against the bridge of the nose. The lower protective part is installed on the lower side of the front protective part. The edge of the lower protective part fits against the chin.

[0005] Preferably, the upper protective part has an arc-shaped notch on the side near the face, and the arc-shaped notch fits the face.

[0006] Preferably, the upper protective part has a first notch at the central axis on the side near the face, and a plastic part is installed in the first notch.

[0007] Preferably, the plastic part is an aluminum sheet, which is fitted to the bridge of the nose.

[0008] Preferably, the front protective part is provided with a vent hole, and gauze is installed in the vent hole.

[0009] Preferably, at least one set of ventilation holes is installed on each side of the front protective part.

[0010] Preferably, the upper protective part, the front protective part, and the lower protective part are integrally formed.

[0011] Beneficial effects: By installing the visor body inside the helmet, the mounting holes on the visor body are elongated, and the fixing buckles on the inside of the helmet are inserted into the mounting holes. Since different people have different face shapes, by changing the position of the fixing buckles in the mounting holes, the relative position of the visor body and the helmet can be adjusted, allowing the visor to move inside the helmet to fit different face shapes. This ensures that the visor can be adapted to different face shapes and prevents wind and sand from entering the nasal cavity. At the same time, regardless of the type of helmet, including retro full-face helmets, half-face helmets, off-road helmets, or retro half-face helmets, as long as there are fixing buckles inside, the visor body can be installed on the aforementioned fixing buckles for adjustment.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0018] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0019] With current technology, the visor inside the helmet is fixedly installed. This means that if the person's face is too small, the visor will not fit properly, and if the face is too large, the person wearing the helmet will feel uncomfortable.

[0020] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a protective face shield for a helmet, including a face shield body 1. The face shield body 1 has fixing holes 2 on both sides. The fixing holes 2 are elongated and are fitted onto the fixing buckles inside the helmet. The face shield body 1 includes an upper protective part 12, a front protective part 11, and a lower protective part 13. The front protective part 11 surrounds the front of the mouth. The upper protective part 12 is installed on the upper side of the front protective part 11. The edge of the upper protective part 12 abuts against the bridge of the nose. The lower protective part 13 is installed on the lower side of the front protective part 11. The edge of the lower protective part 13 fits against the chin.

[0021] The front protective part 11 has elongated fixing holes 2 on both sides. Fixing buckles are provided on the inside of the helmet. The front protective part 11 is fitted onto the fixing buckles on both sides through the fixing holes 2. The fixing buckles can slide into the grooves on the inside of the helmet. This fixing method is called a buckle fixing method in the helmet industry. Regardless of the type of helmet—retro full-face helmet, half-face helmet, off-road helmet, or retro half-face helmet—as long as a buckle fixing method is used, the helmet protective face shield of this utility model can be used. Because the fixing holes 2 are relatively large, the versatility of this utility model is greatly enhanced, allowing it to be fitted onto different types of fixing buckles. Simultaneously, the helmet liner and helmet body are used for compression fixing, making it difficult for the face shield body 1 to fall off. Finally, the front protective part 11 is installed inside the helmet. After the person puts on the helmet, the helmet... The protective face shield fits snugly against the mouth, preventing wind and sand from entering the mouth and respiratory tract. Since different helmets accommodate varying head sizes, if the head is large, the face shield can be moved horizontally towards the edge of the helmet (facing forward); if the head is small, it can be moved horizontally towards the inside of the helmet (facing backward). This allows for flexible adjustment of the face shield's position within the helmet, adapting to different face shapes. It can be used with various helmet types, including off-road helmets, retro full-face helmets, half-helmets, and retro half-helmets, greatly expanding its applicability and meeting the diverse helmet style preferences of cyclists.

[0022] The upper protective part 12 of this utility model has an arc-shaped notch 121 on the side near the face. The arc-shaped notch 121 fits the front and side of the face and is closer to the outer contour of the face, reducing the gap between the upper protective part 12 and the face, preventing wind and sand from entering, and making the wind and sand protection effect of the helmet face shield better.

[0023] The upper protective part 12 has a first notch at the central axis on the side near the face. A plastic part 3 is installed in the first notch. By pressing the plastic part 3, the shape of the plastic part 3 changes, thereby conforming to the face being pressed, and thus further reducing the gap between the upper protective part 12 and the face.

[0024] The plastic part 3 used in this utility model is an aluminum sheet. The aluminum sheet is attached to the bridge of the nose. Since the curvature of the bridge of the nose is large, the aluminum sheet is pressed onto the bridge of the nose in a plastic form. After the aluminum sheet is bent, it is attached to the bridge of the nose, thereby reducing the gap formed around the bridge of the nose and allowing the upper protective part 12 to fit against the face.

[0025] The front protective part 11 has a ventilation hole 4, and gauze is installed inside the ventilation hole 4. By opening the ventilation hole 4, the breathing difficulty of the wearer can be reduced, allowing outside air to enter the mask quickly. At the same time, the gauze can block outside dust from entering, preventing dust from entering the respiratory tract and mouth.

[0026] At least one set of ventilation holes 4 are installed on each side of the symmetrical axis of the front protective part 11, so that the nostrils on both sides of the nose bridge can directly breathe the outside air, reducing the difficulty of breathing and also reducing the temperature inside the mask.

[0027] The upper protective part 12, the front protective part 11 and the lower protective part 13 are integrally formed, and there are no gaps between the upper protective part 12 and the front protective part 11 and between the front protective part 11 and the lower protective part 13, so as to prevent external wind and sand from entering the interior of the mask.

[0028] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
