DE3005133A1 - Head protection for skiing goggles etc. - has shock-absorbing pad releasably fixed to outside of goggle strap around head - Google Patents

Abstract

The head (0) protection (1) is intended for someone wearing skiing goggles (10) or the like. It comprises a protective pad (2) which is pref. securable to the outside of the goggle assembly, particularly to a strap (11) holding the goggles in position. The pad may itself be in the form of a strap and may extend around the head (0) leaving the area of eyes and forehead clear. It may have a shield-shaped portion. It may be releasably secured to the goggle strap e.g. by a Velcron-type (RTM) self-attaching burr fixture. It may comprise a harder outer layer, e.g. in dense foam material, and a softer foam material inner layer.

Description

DescriptionUn:

The invention is concerned with the protection of the head of people or People who, when exercising an activity, are at a different from the normal F'orthewegung to protect the eyes an eye protection device to increase speed respectively.

Wear glasses.

Protective helmets with sight glasses, for example, are known as head protection for motorcyclists and skiers. Protective resp.

However, crash helmets are comparatively heavy and make therefore a burden and, moreover, also because of the restricted view or the restricted This is particularly popular with slalom skiers or

racing drivers perceived as a disadvantage.

The invention therefore aims for an eye protection device person wearing, in particular for person wearing ski goggles, head protection to create that does not have these disadvantages.

The solution to this problem is achieved through at least one protective pad, preferably on the outside of the eye protection device and in particular can be attached to the bracket. This protective cushion preferably has the shape of a band or strip and is further with preference under Recess of the face or forehead area arranged extending along the circumference of the head (see claims 1, 2 and 3). This makes a comparatively light head protection given that there is sufficient protection of the head, especially the sensitive one Temple area, against stop and impact stress.

Further developments and features of the invention emerge from claims 4-9.

The further development according to claim 4 becomes a further critical one Head end, the back of the head and neck area, protected and easily shielded.

The further development according to claim 5 gives the possibility to vary the protective padding arrangement and easily adapt to the respective circumstances and adapt quickly.

The development of the invention according to claim 6 enables creation or attaching the protective padding after the eye protection device or the glasses without hindrance by these protective pads properly applied and positioned on the head as well as has been held. This is for putting on the eye protection device, especially for those with a rubber elastic band as a holder, such as also for the creation of the practically stable surface and only in a direction perpendicular to it deformable protective pads a great relief.

Since it is a Velcro fastener, be it from adhesive tape or from Adhesive tape and loop tape consisting of a textile surface fastener, which can be arranged selectively or over the entire length of a protective cushion, is a reliable, lightweight mounting option that moreover has the advantage of being neither metallic nor sharp and hard and therefore dangerous To have ingredients.

By developing the invention according to claims 7, 8 and 9 is a flat or plate-shaped protective cushion, the hard outer layer of which any shocks distributed over the surface and its subsequent inner layer shock-absorbing works. This provides effective protection for those shielded by the protective padding Reached head areas.

The invention and its features are based on the accompanying drawings explained in more detail.

They show schematically: FIG. 1: A side view of an eye protection device with head wearing head protection according to the invention, FIG. 2: on an enlarged scale a section along the line II-II in Figure 1 and Figure 3: one opposite the figure 1 modified embodiment in the back of the head view.

In Figure 1 is an eye protection device 1 with the actual Eye protection 10 and a rubber elastic band as a holder 11 on a head 0 arranged. This bracket 11 extends along the head circumference with a recess of the face or

Forehead area or in other words, with the cutout of the actual Eye protection 10 a band-shaped protective pad 2.

This strip-shaped protective pad 2 is, as can be seen from Figure 2, with the interposition of a Velcro fastener consisting of an adhesive tape and a fleece tape 3 attached to the band-shaped holder 11 of the eye protection device 1. The width of the strip-shaped protective pad 2 is kept larger than that of the band-shaped Holder 11. Furthermore, the head protection according to FIG. 1 shows a second band-shaped Protective padding 2, which extends across the top of the skull and with the two Ends detachably attached to the holder 11 or to the first band-shaped protective pad 2 is.

The protective cushion 2 is constructed here as a two-layer protective plate and consists - see Figure 2 - of an outer layer 23 and an inner layer 22. Die Outer layer 23 should distribute attacking forces and shocks over the surface and only then pass it on to the shock-absorbing or softer inner layer 22.

The embodiment of the head protection according to Figure 3 consists of three parts Two strip-shaped protective pads running along the sides of the head circumference 2 and a third band-shaped protective pad 2, which extends in the longitudinal direction the head 0 extends and a shield-shaped section 2 'as a neck or back of the head protective shield having. The three protective pads 2 of this embodiment of a head protection are releasably connected to one another via Velcro fasteners, not shown, and furthermore via textile surface fasteners, also not shown (see Velcro fastener 3 in Figure 2) on the bracket 11, shown in dashed lines, of an eye protection device 1 releasably attached.
