Embodiment for Carrying out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment, and reference numeral 1 shown in the drawings is a helmet body. This helmet body The body 1 is is provided with a buffer (not shown) along the inner peripheral surface so as to be in flexible contact with the head surface when worn on the head, and ventilation holes and others are provided as necessary. Note that the helmet body 1 in the present invention is not limited to being formed of a rigid material, and any material that can be worn on the head can be similarly configured and used, including those other than general helmets.

[0020] On the left and right parts of this helmet body 1, for example, on the left and right parts of the front part, a pedestal part 2 for connecting and supporting a support belt 20 described later, which is spanned across the front surface of the helmet body 1, is provided. This pedestal part 2 is formed on the left and right side parts of the helmet body 1, and has a substantially triangular shape that is wide on the side of the helmet body 1 when viewed from the plane, and protrudes from the helmet body 1. An opening is formed in the wide part, and a locking part 3 is provided on the inner edge of the opening facing the helmet body 1 so as to receive a force that opposes the force applied in the support direction of the instruments T.

[0021] In the locking part 3, in order to receive a force that opposes the force applied in the support direction of the instruments T, it is provided so as to receive a force generated in the direction opposite to the force applied in the support direction of the instruments T. Also, for example, it can be provided so as to protrude in the direction opposite to the support direction of the instruments T.

[0022] The locking portion 3 is provided, for example, in a bent shape from the opening edge, and forms a gap between the side surface of the helmet body 1 and the hook portion 12 of the clip 10 described later, which allows the hook portion 12 to be forcibly inserted. Although not shown, the locking portion 3 is not limited to being formed in a convex shape, and may be formed in a concave shape as long as the locking with the clip 10 is ensured, and its shape is not particularly limited. The same applies to the third embodiment described later.

[0023] Note that the support direction of the implements T mainly refers to the direction toward the rear or the front when the implements T are mainly supported on the front or rear surface of the helmet body 1. However, when it is necessary to support them on the left and right side portions, the corresponding direction is adopted.

[0024] Note that this pedestal portion 2 may be configured in a concave shape without communicating with the inside of the helmet body 1, or may be configured to communicate. However, by configuring it not to communicate with the inside of the helmet body 1, the safety during use can be ensured.

[0025] Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, this pedestal portion 2 is provided at the front portion of the helmet body 1. When it is arranged on the left and right thereof, the locking portion 3 at its opening protrudes rearward, so that the support belt 20 can be arranged on the front surface of the helmet body 1, and the implements T can be supported on the front surface of the helmet body 1. Or, as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, it may be provided at the rear portion of the helmet body 1 and arranged on the left and right thereof. In this case, the locking portion 3 at its opening protrudes forward, so that the support belt 20 can be arranged on the rear surface of the helmet body 1, and the implements T can be supported on the rear surface of the helmet body 1.

[0026] That is, the pedestal portion 2 is provided on at least one of the front and rear portions of the helmet body 1, and further arranged on the front and rear portions of the helmet body 1, so that the support position can be selected according to the implements T, and the usability can be improved.

[0027] An engagement portion 4, which is, for example, a vertically long rib-like shape, is provided on the outer surface of the opening of the base portion 2 along the opening, and this engagement portion 4 is located rearward of the locking portion 3 in the support direction of the instrument T.

[0028] The left and right base parts 2 are adapted to engage with left and right clips 10 which support a support belt 20 that supports a predetermined tool T by hanging it between the base parts 2. The clip 10 has a hook part 12 connected to a clip body 11 arranged on the edge of the opening of the base part 2, which engages with and locks onto the locking part 3 of the base part 2, and also has a connecting part 13 connected to face the hook part 12 so as to connect the support belt 20.

[0029] The clip body 11 is formed in a shallow groove shape so as to cover the inner and outer sides of the opening edge of the base portion 2, but as shown in the figure, is formed integrally with the hook portion 12 having a hook shape.

[0030] Hook portion 12 is firmly, even if forcibly, engaged with locking portion 3 provided on the inner edge of the opening of base portion 2. The inner surface of locking portion 3 is arc-shaped when viewed from above, and hook portion 12 itself is also arc-shaped when viewed from above, so that when hook portion 12 is inserted into base portion 2, locking portion 3 and hook portion 12 mesh snugly with their respective contact surfaces, allowing clip 10 itself to swing with hook portion 12 as a fulcrum.

[0031] The connecting part 13 in the illustrated example is formed in a substantially C-shape when viewed from the front, so that it can be connected and fixed in either form, even if the end of the support belt 20 is formed in a cylindrical shape, or the end of the support belt 20 is simply formed in a band shape so as to be connected by folding back. Note that the shape of this connecting part 13 is not particularly limited as long as it can connect the support belt 20.

[0032] And on the inner surface of this connecting portion 13, there is provided a protruding strip-shaped stopper 14 that meshes with the engaging portion 4 provided on the outer surface of the pedestal portion 2. When the clip 10 itself swings toward the pedestal portion 2 with the hook portion 12 as a fulcrum, this stopper 14 meshes with the engaging portion 4, and together with the fact that the hook portion 12 is inserted and locked into the pedestal portion 2, it prevents the clip 10 itself from detaching from the pedestal portion 2.

[0033] Therefore, in the pedestal portion 2, the length from the opening edge surface to the trailing edge surface of the engaging portion 4 is not greater than the length from the inner surface of the clip body 11 to the trailing edge surface of the stopper 14 in the clip 10. And the trailing edge surfaces of the engaging portion 4 and the stopper 14 are configured to firmly mesh with each other. If necessary, for example, uneven fitting means can be formed.

[0034] The support belt 20 is formed in a strip shape with a predetermined width. And, for example, by inserting it into belt fixing portions provided on various instruments T such as lighting fixtures and cameras, for example, left and right slits formed on the back surface of the instruments T, the instruments T are supported by the support belt 20. Note that the end portions of the support belt 20 are connected to the connecting portion 13 of the clip 10, and when the clip 10 is engaged with the left and right pedestal portions 2 of the helmet body 1 respectively, the support belt 20 itself is set to a length that maintains a tensioned state. Although not shown, an adjustment portion for adjusting the length of the support belt 20 itself may be provided.

[0035] Next, an example of its use will be described. For example, an instrument T such as a lighting fixture to be supported by the helmet body 1 is placed on the support belt 20 Attach and the clip 10 connected to the end portion of the support belt 20 is forcibly engaged with the pedestal portion 2 of the helmet body 1, or a predetermined instrument T is attached to the support belt 20 spanned over the pedestal portion 2 via the clip 10.

[0036] To engage the clip 10 with the pedestal portion 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, lock the hook portion 12 of the clip 10 to the locking portion 3 of the pedestal portion 2 and push it into the pedestal portion 2. Then, swing the clip 10 with the hook portion 12 as a fulcrum and press the connecting portion 13 against the helmet body 1 side. By pressing, the stopper 14 of the connecting portion 13 is forced to engage with the engaging portion 4 of the pedestal portion 2. By this engagement, the clip 10 can be firmly engaged with the pedestal portion 2, and the instruments T can be arranged and set on the front surface or the like of the helmet body 1 by the support belt 20.

[0037] When removing, it can be done by swinging the connecting portion 13 of the clip 10 from the surface of the helmet body 1 with the hook portion 12 as a fulcrum and lifting it, and then removing the hook portion 12 from the pedestal portion 2.

[0038] In FIGS. 6 to 8, a third embodiment is shown. As shown in the figure, on the outer side of the opening edge of the laterally open recess 31 provided at the front and rear ends of the stepped pedestal portion 32 that bulges in a strip shape along the front-rear direction on the left and right side portions of the helmet body 1, a locking portion 33 is formed so as to receive a force opposite to the force loaded in the support direction of the instruments T. At the same time, an engaging portion 34 is arranged and formed on the back portion, which is the rear position of the locking portion 33.

[0039] As shown in the figure, the recess 31 itself is formed by being positioned at the front and rear ends of the bulging portion of the pedestal portion 32 and being deeply recessed along the vertical direction toward the inside of the helmet body 1, so as to have a substantially trapezoidal cross-section, and its opening faces the side of the helmet body 1. And the locking portion 33 projects toward the rear of the helmet body 1 in the recess 31 located at the front portion of the helmet body 1, and projects toward the front of the helmet body 1 in the recess 31 located at the rear portion of the helmet body 1, respectively.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 8, the engaging portion 34 disposed on the back of the locking portion 33 protrudes forward of the helmet body 1 outside the edge surface of the pedestal portion 32, and in the rear portion of the helmet body 1, it protrudes rearward of the helmet body 1, respectively.

[0041] By doing so, the locking portion 33 and the engaging portion 34 are integrally structured and aligned with each other on the back, and in terms of its cross-section, it has an inverted trapezoidal shape that is wide on the outer side of the helmet body 1 and narrow on the inner side.

[0042] On the other hand, the clip 10 connected to the support belt 20 is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The clip body 11 disposed on the opening edge of the pedestal portion 32 is provided with a hook portion 12 that meshes and locks with the locking portion 33 of the pedestal portion 32, and a stopper 14 that meshes and engages with the engaging portion 34, and a connecting portion 13 for connecting the support belt 20 is continuously provided.

[0043] In this third embodiment, as shown in the figure, the hook portion 12 fits snugly into the recess 31 and locks with the locking portion 33. Similarly, the stopper 14 meshes with the engaging portion 34. The backs of the hook portion 12 and the stopper 14 are aligned with each other, and the width of the opening edge side is formed narrower than the width of the inner edge side, so that they are semi-forcibly fitted in close contact with the locking portion 33 and the engaging portion 34.

[0044] In addition, the clip 10 is provided with an operation portion 15 on the outer surface of the clip 10 itself in a protruding shape that is slightly inclined toward the connecting portion 13 side, so that it is easy to perform the operation of pushing in with fingers or the like when fitting the hook portion 12 into the locking portion 33 and the stopper 14 into the engaging portion 34 respectively, and conversely, the operation of removing it by pulling it off.

[0045] The use according to this third embodiment is the same as that in the above-described first and second embodiments. By engaging the hook portion 12 and the stopper 14 so as to wrap around the locking portion 33 and the engaging portion 34 on the front side and the rear side of the pedestal portion 32 respectively, it can be connected more firmly and reliably.

[0046] Note that the implements T are not limited to lighting fixtures, and can be cameras, communication devices, power sources, etc. Various implements T required can be selected. For example, the power source for the implement T supported on the front surface of the helmet body 1 can be supported on the rear surface of the helmet body 1, etc., and the usage mode can also be selected.
