Abstract: The invention concerns a hearing device for a protective helmet with a receiving deice for auditory signals, that at the very least are deliverable from the earphones arranged on the inner surface of the protective helmet. The invention has as its basic function to reduce the volume of the helmet contruction and the weight of the hearing device in relation to the usual construction, and to make the positioning of the earphones on the ears of the helmet wearer unnecessary. The purpose will be met in that the earphones in the outer auditory canal of the helmet wearer will be developed as importable earplugs. The auditory signals that are supplied by a receiving device consisting of a receiver and a coupled transmitter will be transmitted from the transmitter of the receiving device over a wireless transmission line that is integrated into the earplug-receiver of the earplug.

Abstract: A helmet fastening system for protective helmets includes a drawstring system which holds the helmet smoothly to the head of the wearer in the forehead and temple areas and in the neck area simply by tightening only a chin strap. Two drawstring loops are movably arranged in an integrated guiding channel which comprises a leather pocket parallel to and attached to the helmet rim. The length-adjustable chin strap form a closed drawstring system outside the guiding channel. The tightening of the chin strap leads to the spreading of the force between the chin strap, and two chin strap loops of the drawstring system so that the protective helmet and the leather pockets forming the guiding channels fit tightly in the neck and forehead areas of the wearer. A slipping of the protective helment even under the influence of external force is substantially impossible.
