Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0033] The objects, specific advantages, and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description in connection with each of the accompanying drawings and the preferred embodiments. In this specification, when adding reference numerals to each component of each drawing, it should be noted that, as much as possible, the same numerals are assigned to the same components even when they are shown on other drawings. Also, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one component from another, and the components are not limited by these terms. Hereinafter, in describing the present invention, a detailed description of related known technologies that may obscure the gist of the present invention is omitted.

[0034] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a helmet fitting system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the helmet fitting system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3a to 3b are exploded perspective views of the fitting portion and the adjusting means of the helmet fitting system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the helmet fitting system according to the present embodiment includes a band 100 having one end fixed to a predetermined point X of the helmet 10, a fitting portion 200 connected to the band 100 and providing an elastic force to the back of the wearer's head, and an adjusting means 300 for adjusting the elastic force of the fitting portion 200.

[0037] The band 100 is supported by the fitting portion 200, one end of the band 100 is fixed to a predetermined point X (see FIG. 1) of the helmet 10, and the other end of the band 100 is connected to the fitting portion 200 through elastic means 215 (see FIG. 3a). Overall, the band 100 is provided in a pair and fixed to both sides of the helmet 10. Specifically, the band 100 can include a first band 100a with one end fixed to one side of the helmet 10 and a second band 100b with one end fixed to the other side of the helmet 10 (see FIGS. 1 to 2). For example, one end of the first band 100a can be fixed to the inside of the helmet 10 facing the left side of the wearer's head, while one end of the second band 100b can be fixed to the inside of the helmet 10 facing the right side of the wearer's head. At this time, one end of the first band 100a and one end of the second band 100b can be fixed at positions facing each other. Additionally, one end of the first band 100a and one end of the second band 100b do not necessarily have to be fixed only at the fixed positions of the helmet 10, but can be fixed to the helmet 10 at two or more points with different distances from the fitting portion 200. That is, the inside of the helmet 10 is provided with two or more points with different distances from the fitting portion 200, and the first band 100a and the second band 100b are coupled to one of these points. For example, when the first and second bands 100a, 100b are coupled to a point relatively far from the fitting portion 200, the fitting portion 200 can be arranged relatively forward by the first and second bands 100a, 100b. Conversely, when the first and second bands 100a, 100b are coupled to a point relatively close to the fitting portion 200, the fitting portion 200 can be arranged relatively backward by the first and second bands 100a, 100b. Thus, when the position of the fitting portion 200 moves according to the points where the first and second bands 100a, 100b are coupled to the helmet 10, substantially, the elastic force provided from the fitting portion 200 in the direction of the back of the head can also change.In addition, the method of coupling the first and second bands 100a and 100b to the helmet 10 is not particularly limited. However, at one end of the first band 100a and one end of the second band 100b, a first protruding portion 105a and a second protruding portion 105b are respectively formed. Inside the helmet 10, there are provided two or more recessed first fastening holes 107a into which the first protruding portion 105a is inserted, and there may be provided two or more recessed second fastening holes 107b into which the second protruding portion 105b is inserted. At this time, the method of coupling the first and second protruding portions 105a and 105b to the first and second fastening holes 107a and 107b may be, for example, a snap method.

[0038] On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 3a to 3b, the other end of the first band 100a may be connected to the elastic means 215 of the first fitting means 210a, and the other end of the second band 100b may be connected to the elastic means 215 of the second fitting means 210b. Eventually, one end of the first and second bands 100a and 100b is fixed to a predetermined point X of the helmet 10 (see FIG. 1), and the other ends of the first and second bands 100a and 100b are connected to the fitting portion 200 through the elastic means 215 (see FIGS. 3a to 3b). Therefore, an elastic force may be provided to the fitting portion 200 in the direction of the wearer's occipital region. Specific details related to this will be described later.

[0039] The fitting part 200 serves to provide a fitting feeling to the wearer, is connected to the band 100, and elastic force is provided in the direction of the wearer's occipital region. Basically, the fitting part 200 is connected to the first and second bands 100a, 100b fixed at a predetermined point X of the helmet 10, and may also be connected to the third band 110 fixed to the rear side of the helmet 10. As shown in FIGS. 3a to 3b, the fitting part 200 can include two fitting means 210 and a contact part 220. Here, the fitting means 210 is connected to the band 100 and provides elastic force to the band 100, and the contact part 220 has two fitting means 210 movably arranged therein and contacts the wearer's occipital region. For example, the contact part 220 may be provided with an accommodation space inside, and the two fitting means 210 may be arranged to slide along the length direction of the contact part 220 within the accommodation space of the contact part 220.

[0040] Specifically, the fitting means 210 can include an elastic means 215 and a support part 217. Here, the elastic means 215 is directly connected to the band 100 and substantially serves to provide elastic force to the band 100. Also, the support part 217 is formed in a form that houses the elastic means 215 inside, and the elastic means 215 can be extended or contracted inside the support part 217. At this time, one end of the elastic means 215 can be connected to the first coupling part 109 formed at the other end of the band 100, and the other end of the elastic means 215 can be connected to the second coupling part 218 formed at the end of the support part 217. In this way, by connecting one end of the elastic means 215 to the first coupling part 109 of the band 100 and the other end of the elastic means 215 to the second coupling part 218 of the support part 217, the elastic force of the elastic means 215 can be provided to the band 100. Here, the elastic means 215 is not particularly limited as long as it can provide elastic force. For example, it may be a tension spring. However, the fact that the elastic means 215 is a tension spring is exemplary, and in addition to this, the elastic means 215 can be a band, rubber, silicone, etc.

[0041] The adjustment means 300 serves to adjust the elastic force of the fitting part 200, and can move the position of the fitting means 210 (support part 217) relative to a predetermined point X on the helmet 10 to which the band 100 is fixed. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4a to 4b, when the adjustment means 300 moves the fitting means 210 (support part 217) away from the predetermined point X, while the tensile force applied to the elastic means 215 increases, the elastic means 215 of the fitting means 210 is relatively elongated, and the elastic force can increase. In this way, when the elastic force of the fitting means 210 (elastic means 215) increases, the elastic force provided to the band 100 increases, and finally, as shown in FIG. 5, the compressive feeling applied by the fitting part 200 to the back of the wearer's head can increase. On the contrary, as shown in FIGS. 6a to 6b, when the adjustment means 300 moves the fitting means 210 (support part 217) closer to the predetermined point X, while the tensile force applied to the elastic means 215 decreases, the elastic means 215 of the fitting means 210 is relatively contracted, and the elastic force can decrease. In this way, when the elastic force of the fitting means 210 (elastic means 215) decreases, the elastic force provided to the band 100 decreases, and finally, as shown in FIG. 7, the compressive feeling applied by the fitting part 200 to the back of the wearer's head can decrease. Eventually, while moving the position of the fitting means 210 using the adjustment means 300, the compressive feeling applied by the fitting part 200 to the back of the wearer's head can be adjusted.

[0042] Here, the adjusting means 300 can be rotatably coupled to the holder 225 of the contact portion 220 (see FIG. 3a), and can be gear-coupled to the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 (see FIG. 4a). For example, a pinion gear 310 is formed on the adjusting means 300, a rack gear 219 is formed on the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210, and the pinion gear 310 of the adjusting means 300 and the rack gear 219 of the support portion 217 can be gear-coupled. Therefore, when the adjusting means 300 is rotated, correspondingly, the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can move relative to the contact portion 220. In this way, when the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 moves, while the elastic force of the elastic means 215 changes, the pressing feeling applied by the contact portion 220 to the back of the head can be adjusted.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 3a to 3b, the adjusting means 300 may further include a latch portion 320 extending from the pinion gear 310, a gear portion 330 formed on the contact portion 220 (holder 225) so as to be coupled to the latch portion 320, an operation portion 340 coupled to the latch portion 320 and for rotating the latch portion 320, and the like. Basically, the latch portion 320 is coupled to the gear portion 330, and the pinion gear 310 stops without arbitrarily rotating, so that the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can also stop at a fixed position. However, when the wearer rotates the operation portion 340, the latch portion 320 and the pinion gear 310 rotate together, so that the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can move relative to the contact portion 220.

[0044] [Embodiment] As described above, since the band 100 may include the first and second bands 100a and 100b, correspondingly, the fitting means 210 can also include the first and second fitting means 210a and 210b. Here, the other end of the first band 100a may be connected to the elastic means 215 of the first fitting means 210a, and the other end of the second band 100b may be connected to the elastic means 215 of the second fitting means 210b.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 4a, the adjusting means 300 can be gear-coupled to the first and second fitting means 210a and 210b. For example, the first fitting means 210a and the second fitting means 210b can be arranged so as to overlap in a direction perpendicular (in the vertical direction) to the direction in which the elastic force of the fitting means 210 is provided. At this time, the pinion gear 310 of the adjusting means 300 can be arranged between the first fitting means 210a and the second fitting means 210b. Therefore, the pinion gear 310 of the adjusting means 300 can be gear-coupled to the rack gear 219 of the first fitting means 210a and the rack gear 219 of the second fitting means 210b at the same time. Eventually, when the pinion gear 310 rotates, the first and second fitting means 210a and 210b gear-coupled to the pinion gear 310 can move simultaneously.

[0046] On the other hand, referring to FIGS. 3a to 3b for a more specific description of the contact portion 220, the contact portion 220 may include a base portion 221 and a cover portion 223 coupled to the base portion 221. At this time, an accommodation space is provided inside the base portion 221 and the cover portion 223, and the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can move while sliding inside such an accommodation space. Here, one surface of the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can contact one surface of the base portion 221. Therefore, one surface of the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can be extended so as to have a curvature corresponding to the curvature of one surface of the base portion 221 so that one surface of the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can slide smoothly along one surface of the base portion 221. Additionally, on one surface of the base portion 221, a guide portion 222 (see FIG. 3a) that is extended and protruded long in the sliding direction of the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210 can be formed to guide the sliding of the support portion 217 of the fitting means 210.

[0047] Further, the contact portion 220 may be provided with a holder 225. Here, the holder 225 is coupled to the base portion 221 of the contact portion 220 and can surround the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b such that one side (end) of the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b is exposed. For example, the holder 225 is formed in a "C" shape so as to surround the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b, and openings 225a may be formed on both sides such that one side (end) of the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b is exposed. Also, a fastening hole 225b is provided on one side (rear side) of the holder 225, and a pinion gear 310 of the adjusting means 300 may be rotatably coupled to such a fastening hole 225b.

[0048] The above-described holder 225 can be utilized in a manufacturing method of a fitting system for a helmet according to the present invention. Specifically explaining the manufacturing method of the fitting system for a helmet according to the present invention, first, as shown in FIG. 8, the holder 225 is coupled to the base portion 221. Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b are inserted and arranged inside the holder 225 through the openings 225a formed on both sides of the holder 225. Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the adjusting means 300 is coupled to the fastening hole 225b of the holder 225, and the pinion gear 310 of the adjusting means 300 is gear-coupled to the rack gears 219 of the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b. At this time, since one side (end) of the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b is exposed from the holder 225, the assembler can confirm the positions of the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b, and when the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b are in the correct positions, the pinion gear 310 of the adjusting means 300 can be coupled to the rack gears 219 of the first and second fitting means 210a, 210b.

[0049] Additionally, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the band 100 can further include a third band 110. Here, the third band 110 is connected to the fitting portion 200, extends to the rear inside of the helmet 10, and can be coupled to the inside of the helmet 10. According to the movement of such a third band 110, the fitting portion 200 can move forward or backward with respect to the helmet 10. At this time, the third band 110 can be coupled to a fastening portion 130 (see the enlarged view of FIG. 2) formed inside the helmet 10. Specifically, uneven portions 120 are continuously formed on both side surfaces of the third band 110, and by coupling such uneven portions 120 to the fastening portion 130 provided on the helmet 10, the third band 110 can be fixed at a specific position.

[0050] In the fitting system for a helmet according to the prior art, uneven portions are formed on the lower surface of a band (a configuration corresponding to the third band). Therefore, when the curvature of the band changes according to the shape of the helmet, the distance between the concave and convex portions of the uneven portions changes according to the curvature change, and there is a problem that the operating feeling of the wearer changes. Furthermore, in the fitting system for a helmet according to the present embodiment, since an elastic force acts on the fitting portion 200, there is a possibility that the curvature change of the third band 110 becomes even more intense. However, in the fitting system for a helmet according to the present embodiment, since the uneven portions 120 are formed on both side surfaces of the third band 110, the distance between the concave and convex portions of the uneven portions 120 hardly changes according to the curvature change of the third band 110. As a result, the operating feeling of the wearer can be maintained constant.

[0051] As described above, since the fitting portion 200 is connected to the first and second bands 100a and 100b through the elastic means 215, an elastic force can be provided in the direction of the wearer's occipital region. Therefore, each time the wearer puts on or takes off the helmet 10, the elastic means 215 of the first and second fitting means 210a and 210b is extended, and the fitting portion 200 can move backward. Thus, the wearer can easily put on or take off the helmet 10 without any separate operation. Further, when the wearer wears the helmet 10, an elastic force is provided to the fitting portion 200 in the direction of the wearer's occipital region. Therefore, the contact portion 220 of the fitting portion 200 contacts the wearer's occipital region, not only preventing the helmet 10 from being accidentally removed, but also providing a comfortable wearing experience for the wearer.

[0052] Furthermore, by using the adjusting means 300 to move the fitting means 210 (support portion 217) away from a predetermined point X (the point where the band 100 is fixed) of the helmet 10 (see FIGS. 4a to 4b), the elastic force of the fitting means 210 (elastic means 215) can be increased, and the sense of pressure applied by the fitting portion 200 (contact portion 220) to the wearer's occipital region can be increased. Conversely, by using the adjusting means 300 to move the fitting means 210 (support portion 217) closer to a predetermined point X (the point where the band 100 is fixed) of the helmet 10 (see FIGS. 6a to 6b), the elastic force of the fitting means 210 (elastic means 215) can be decreased, and the sense of pressure applied by the fitting portion 200 (contact portion 220) to the wearer's occipital region can be decreased. Eventually, by the wearer operating the adjusting means 300 to adjust the elastic force of the fitting means 210 (elastic means 215), various elastic forces (sense of pressure) desired by the wearer can be provided.

[0053] As described above, the present invention has been described in detail through specific embodiments. However, this is for specifically explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. It is obvious that those with ordinary knowledge in the art can make modifications and improvements within the technical idea of the present invention.
