    Abstract: A safety helmet (100) with a helmet shell (7), with a bearing element (5), with at least one holding element (2, 9.l, 9.r, 28) and with a tubular shape textile sheathing. Each holding element (2, 9.l, 9.r, 28) is permanently connected to the helmet shell (7). A distance is present between a holding element (2, 9.l, 9.r, 28) and the head of a user of the safety helmet (100). The bearing element (5) is adjacent to the head. The textile sheathing encloses the bearing element (5) and is located in some areas between the bearing element (5) and the head. The bearing element (5) is detachably connectable to a respective holding element through at least one connection opening in the textile sheathing. A process for removing the textile sheathing from the safety helmet (100), as well as to a process for manufacturing a safety helmet (100) are provided.

  • Publication number: 20210337911
    Abstract: A safety helmet (100) includes an arched helmet shell (1), a bearing structure (3, 4.l, 4.r, 5, 6, 8, 10), an inner lining and a plurality of connection units. The inner lining comes into contact with the head of a user of the safety helmet. The bearing structure is attached on the inside to the helmet shell. Each connection unit is capable of detachably connecting the inner lining to the bearing structure. Each connection unit comprises a bearing structure-side component and an inner lining-side component. Each component is configured as exactly one connection type. A bearing structure-side component is connectable to an inner lining-side component if the two components are configured as the same connection type. The two components cannot otherwise be connected to one another or are incapable of establishing a connection between the bearing structure and the inner lining.
