Abstract: A visor having a curved transparent plate includes a photochromic material layer detachably mounted on the transparent plate. The photochromic material layer including a photochromic pigment is provided at the convex outer side of the transparent plate and a seal element is provided at a location to maintain a certain spacing between the transparent plate and the photochromic material layer and to prevent water ingress between the two surfaces. An anti-scratch coating is applied at an outer side of the photochromic material layer.

Abstract: There is disclosed a visor comprising at least one transparent plate, in which or on which a light-sensitive material is provided, which material has the property of transmitting less light as more light is incident thereon. In particular UV light-intensity-activated, UV light-blocking pigments, photochromatic pigments are used in the light-sensitive material. The light-sensitive material, which may be fixedly or detachably provided on the transparent plate, is transparent in the deactivated condition thereof.

Abstract: A visor for a helmet or the like has a curved, transparent shield with an inner surface and an outer surface. The shield is provided with attachment elements for connecting the visor to the helmet and further includes a viewing region having a photochromatic insert at its outer surface, capable of responding to incident light. The shield is formed of a first plastic material provided with an amount of UV stabilizing additives, the UV stabilizing additives protecting the first plastic material from degradation by UV radiation during use, and the insert includes a second plastic material without UV stabilizing additives or having substantially less UV stabilizing additives than the first plastic material. A manufacturing process for producing a visor with a functional insert region is also disclosed.

Abstract: There is provided a goggle assembly (1) comprising: a frame; an inner lens retained by the frame (5); an outer lens (3) having a first relaxed configuration and a second pre-tensioned configuration; and attachment elements (7) releasably retaining the outer lens in its second configuration in spaced relation in front of the inner lens.

Abstract: There is provided a method of forming a visor having a spacer or seal extending along at least a portion of a periphery of a viewing area of the visor, comprising a step of injection molding the seal or spacer in a mold.

Abstract: A visor assembly according to various aspects of the present invention includes a visor having a surface; an overlay-sheet; and a mechanical fastening for attaching the overlay-sheet to the surface of the visor. The mechanical fastening includes a first fastening portion provided on the surface of the visor, an array of projections upstanding from the visor surface; and a second fastening portion provided on the overlay-sheet, including an array of complementary projections upstanding therefrom. The projections of the first and second fastening portions are configured to inter-engage in order to attach the overlay-sheet to the visor.

Abstract: Visor assembly (1, 21) consisting of an inner shield (6, 26) and an outer shield (2, 22). In the use position these shields are some distance apart. With this arrangement the inner shield (6, 26) is located within the peripheral confines of the outer shield (2, 22). The inner shield (6, 26) is provided with an elevation (7, 27) which extends close to the periphery thereof and which acts as a spacer with respect to the outer shield. This elevation (7, 27) is preferably made of silicone material which is snack to the inner shield (6, 26) but is not stuck to the outer shield (2, 22). Fixing to the outer shield (2, 22) takes place by means (10, 12) of mechanical fixing means.

Abstract: An anti-condensation visor comprises an outer visor which, relative to the user, is situated on the outermost peripheral surface of a helmet or hood to which the visor belongs. The outer visor is provided with openings for fitting on the helmet and with at least one lip for the user to fold the outer visor away. An inner visor is detachably fitted against the inside wall of the outer visor and is held against via at least one mechanical retaining element, while the inner visor rests over essentially its entire surface against the inside wall of the outer visor, and the inner visor is made of hydrophilic material.
