Description

1 TARIFF PILOT HELMET VISOR OPENING AND CLOSING SYSTEM Technical Area 5 The invention is a visor integrated into pilot helmets, primarily for military and civil aviation. It relates to an on / off system for these systems. The invention is particularly useful for protecting pilots' eyes from sunlight, wind, and foreign objects during flight. or visors that protect against sudden weather changes, in a controlled and safe manner It relates to an on / off system that allows it to be opened and closed. State of the Art The current technology is developed for opening and closing pilot helmet visors. These mechanisms generally consist of hinged, spring-loaded, or sliding structures. Most mechanisms involve manually moving the visor up or down. Although it provides this, it does not offer a stepped positioning feature or provides this feature insufficiently. It cannot provide security and stability. 20 Common technical problems encountered in systems used in current technology. These are: • Uncontrolled changes in visor position: Vibrations that occur during flight, Due to sudden maneuvers or mechanical loosening, the visor may malfunction. 25 It can be opened or closed. • Inability to fix the visor at the desired angle: In most current systems, the visor... It is not possible to fix it at different angles. This affects the pilot's vision requirements. It does not provide sufficient flexibility. • Risk of involuntary movement due to one-handed use: Some visor systems have a single 30 It is designed to be operated manually. This is especially true in shaky environments. It can cause involuntary movements and negatively affect flight safety. It can have an impact. • Problems with parts that wear out or loosen over time: Spring and hinge parts. Mechanical wear due to prolonged use in systems, position 35 There may be a decrease in sensitivity and a security risk may arise. 2 In the literature review, an example of the current state of the technique is given. Document number US20100132085 can be shown. This document mentions a protective measure. A multi-position adjustable viewfinder system is defined for the headsets. However, The system uses a friction-based position fixing logic instead of a claw-like structure. It has and there is no mention of a rail system. 5 Another example of the prior art is document number EP0651952. This can be demonstrated. The document in question describes rotating the viewfinder around an axis. A system with a hinge mechanism that provides two-hand control has been described. This design incorporates a stepped movement or locking claw system on the rail. It does not receive. Another example of the prior art is document number US12064001. This can be shown. In the document in question, a multi-part structure is integrated into a heading. The viewfinder system has been explained. However, details of the mechanism for securing the viewfinder are not provided in section 15. It is limited and does not include a user-controlled incremental pause feature. Another example of the prior art is document number US20120272484. This can be shown. The document in question describes sliding controls for positioning the viewfinders. The mechanism has been defined. This structure resembles a rail system, but with clawed 20 No locking or stepped control features have been included. Another example of the prior art is document number US11583026. This can be shown. In the document mentioned, the hinge is used when changing the position of the viewfinder. A spring support system integrated into its structure is described. However, the system has 25 The safety mechanism and two-handed control approach are not included. In conclusion, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the current solutions, This has made it necessary to make improvements in the technical field. Purpose of the Invention The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and contributes to the relevant technical field. This relates to the pilot helmet visor opening and closing system, which brings new advantages. 35 3 The main purpose of the invention is to protect pilots' eyes from sunlight, wind, and foreign objects during flight. Visors that protect against objects or sudden weather changes, ensuring controlled and safe operation. The goal is to create an on / off system that allows it to be opened and closed in this way. The purpose of the invention is to allow the pilot to open and close the visor according to their needs. while recognizing, it prevents the position from being disrupted by sudden movements or jolts, and the visor... a system that allows for gradual, user-controlled and safe movement The goal is to create an on / off system. Another purpose of the invention is for the visor to move along the guide rail, and the guide rail 10 The visor is secured in place by a clip-on structure at specific locations. opening and closing gradually in a smooth and controlled manner, and the visor's specific By ensuring that it is securely fixed at various angles, it protects both flight safety and the user. The goal is to create an opening and closing system that improves ergonomics. Another aim of the invention is to prevent involuntary movements that require the use of both hands. by passing through and guaranteeing the conscious operation of the system, and being durable, long-lasting and The goal is to create an opening and closing system that offers a mechanically stable structure. Another aim of the invention is the design of materials and structures with high mechanical strength, 20 a switching system is developed that ensures the system operates safely for a long time. to place. Another aim of the invention is to overcome the sudden loosening encountered in existing visor mechanisms, It offers solutions to problems such as loss of position or difficulty in control, and the viewfinder can be positioned at the desired 25°. stepped stop structures that allow it to be fixed at the angle, simultaneous dual hand control. and with its mechanical design that provides locking security even in vibrating environments to enable pilots to have a more stable and safer field of vision during flight The goal is to create an on / off system. Another aim of the invention is to provide an original contribution to the state of the art and to pilot making helmet visor systems safer, more ergonomic and user-friendly The goal is to create an on / off system that allows for this. To fulfill all the objectives stated above and those that can be derived from the detailed explanation. 35 The invention, in particular, is integrated into pilot helmets for military and civil aviation applications. 4 The opening and closing system used in visors that allows the visor to be opened and closed. being, - a guide rail that attaches to both sides of the helmet and has slots inside including guide rail assembly, - Intermediate connecting element, which is attached to the visor and placed on the guide rail assembly, 5 - moves on the guide rail assembly by connecting to the intermediate connecting element. front cover, positioned on the connecting element, front cover a guide rail located inside the back cover that is closed The viewfinder position can be adjusted by gradually sliding it into the slots on it. This is related to the fact that it includes a holding device that allows it to be secured. 10 The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below.
