The present invention relates to helmets for leisure sports, and more particularly a helmet for where protective eyewear is needed that will not separate, and will protect the face with protective eyewear that is spaced from the face so as to prevent the effects of sweating from obscuring the wearers vision
BACKGROUNDIn general, these types of helmets are intended to be worn by the user as a means to protect the user's head while using in-line skates, bicycles, scooters, hiking, horseback riding, and a variety of leisure activities. These helmets are intended to be worn by the user for long periods of time during prolonged activity where there is a lot of sweating, and even during the prolonged activity, the helmet should perform well because it is light and breathable.
In addition, unlike motorcycle helmets, many leisure sports helmets are not full face helmets that enclose the head. Rather they have a separate eye protection structure surrounding the eyes.
However, the helmet and the eye protection structure may separate if the user engages in leisure activities of an aggressive nature due to body movements that may occur during those activities. The wearer's sweat may also coat the protective eyewear so as to obscure vision and depending on environmental changes, user may need to put on or remove the protective eyewear quickly.
There is a need for protective eyewear during leisure activities where sweating occurs, for vision correction, for indoor use, and for changes in environment and accordingly, there is may be a need to wear protective eyewear or have it removed.
SUMMARYThese and other features will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, the drawings are for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to be in any way limiting, wherein:
According shown in
It is primarily the outer portion 112 that absorbs external shocks so that the shock does not pass to the wearer. The inner portion (113) absorbed primarily the secondary shock to the users head so as to minimize the impact.
The guide has been compromised, corrupted configuration upgrade their users all intended to prevent injury.
The protective eyewear (120) of the curve, as shown in
In addition, with the protective eyewear (120) it is preferable to have a certain elastic resilience. The elastic resilience to external shocks by using protective eyewear to prevent damage from external shocks is to allow it to absorb some portion of itself.
Meanwhile, the shield (124) can consist of one or more of the desired sunglasses or prescription eye glasses as required by the users vision needs.
That is, you do not need low vision to wear glasses for users to choose separate glasses depending on they wish to respond to these points by the selecting which they wish to use.
The slide guide (130) as shown in
In addition, the frame (131) in the guide hole (135) has a certain length or depth penetration and the guide hole (135) direction at both sides of the internal length guide groove (136) is formed. The guide groove (136) is located in the front of the stopper (132) has been extended side and is formed penetrating the interior of storage buffer.
Meanwhile, the guide groove (136) includes plurality of irregularities (137) formed above two spaced intervals that formed the bond and the aforementioned irregularities, the progressive movement of frame (121) can be limited.
Where the protective eyewear (120), slide guide (130), the helmet body (110) are formed in the slide connector (114), the surfaces are of the same shape and is preferably a curved shape. This combination of protective eyewear allows for sliding along the groove because the structure of the helmet body.
The handle (140) on lever (141) and the lever (141) have an elastic member (142) formed extensively below, with the elastic member (142) formed at the ends to overhang the protruding joining projections (143). The joining projections (143) extend in opposite directions to each other in the direction of the groove (144).
For example, the handle 140, and the lever (141) a formed with the lower projections extending into the binder material (143) above the frame (121) through the above joining hole (122) and are inserted into the frame (121) and elastic member (142) which consists of protective eyewear in the body of your helmet and protective eyewear to be which extends from the body's helmet.
Therefore there is protection from the body as well as helmets and glasses being easily removable.
With reference to the accompanying drawings the relationship of the present invention is examine first helmet body 110 coupled, to the front inner protective eyewear (120) in the form of the same slide connector (114). After forming the slide connector (114), the inner portion (113) corresponding as provided. As discussed earlier, the absence of the aforementioned inner outer portion, a relatively rigid material is used.
Next, slide connector (114) and slide guide (130), position the state as a combination of slide projections formed on the guide section (134) from inside the helmet body by insertion in the lateral direction of the slide within a slide hole guide.
It is preferable that the helmet body to have vents. This protects the slide connector from the outside, and during use of glasses in the guide hole (135) allows air to be introduced.
Next, the inner portion (113) and the slide connector (114) that are formed in the inner portion of helmet provide a slide channel. The combination of the inner portion and the outer portion makes it possible.
In other words, the outer portion and inner portion, can be combined with each other
Next, a form of protective eyewear (120) of the frame (121) is formed in the body of the helmet slide connector (114) inserted into the guide section formed in the slide guide groove (136) that is not in the frame.
Next, using the handle (140), protective eyewear (120) is inserted.
The handle (140) is inserted after elastic member (142), the frame (121) and in the elastic member (142) formed in the combined end projections (143) and channel (144). This joining hole (122) is coupled to the inner surface glasses are protected by the manipulation of the handle which is used to effect the sliding in the guide section.
On the other hand, the slide in the guide section and protective eyewear to be an obstacle correspond to each tile consists of unevenness in the guide section is inserted into a slide, safety glasses, not the handle manipulation by external factors such as external shocks helmet does not protrude outside the body are
With reference to the accompanying drawings operation of the present invention will be described below. Referring to
Also as shown in
In the process of moving the slide in the guide section will proceed in stages, and is only able to be moved to the desired location. In other words, safety glasses have a handle for moving the sliding safety glasses and ridges which allowing a step-by-step progression of protective eyewear by so that the position of the slide movement may be adjusted as per the users desired functionality.
The irregularities the helmet from the body will be able to prevent the unnecessary escape. On the other hand, also shown in
In this state, the frame (121), as described previously is obscured by the helmet body (110) while the vents are opened to the outside air which is drawn in through the vents and helps to circulate the air inside the helmet.
The joining hole(122) of frame (121) where coupled to the elastic member (142) is positioned in front of the slide guide stopper (132) close to the end of the protective glasses to limit the movement of it. The user can adjust at regular intervals when faced with sweat
In particular, the protective glasses hanging protrusion (123) and slide the guide section of the irregularities (137) and stopper (132) structure that is not close to each other because the shield is fully disengaged state in the body of the helmet by the helmet in the external shock might be re-inserted into the body it is possible to prevent.
In other words, only by the user operating the handle of the protective eyewear from the helmet body can the insertion and disengagement take place.
In addition, as shown in
With the protective eyewear, whether the shield comprises common sunglasses, is designed to improve poor vision, or is fabricated to your prescription glasses, it is possible to replace it. In other words, eye protection can vary depending on the user's preference to address a variety of conditions.
As such, sliding protective glasses such as the sunglasses into the body of the helmet acts as a separate space for storage and you do not need to have the glasses directly on your face, sunglasses and sweat that obscure vision and thereby maximizing the user's convenience.
