Helmet

Abstract

The invention relates to a helmet, in particular a protective helmet for emergency services or intervention forces. Said helmet comprises a dome ( 1 ), which is provided with internal padding and lateral convex sections ( 1 a ) in the ear regions for accommodating ear defender capsules ( 5 ). The dome ( 1 ) and the lateral convex sections ( 1 a ) in the ear regions consist preferably of a single deep-drawn titanium sheet.

1 . A helmet comprising a helmet dome provided with internal padding, wherein the helmet dome in the ear region has lateral outward bulge portions for receiving ear defender capsules, wherein said helmet dome together with the lateral outward bulge portions in the ear region comprises a deep-drawn titanium sheet. 
   
   
       2 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein said helmet is a protective helmet for operational services. 
   
   
       3 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein said deep-drawn titanium sheet is a single piece sheet. 
   
   
       4 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein the helmet dome is of a single-layer configuration. 
   
   
       5 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein the sheet thickness of the titanium sheet of the helmet dome is between 2 mm and 4 mm. 
   
   
       6 . A helmet according to  claim 5  wherein the sheet thickness of the titanium sheet of the helmet dome is about 3 mm. 
   
   
       7 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein the helmet dome is free of welded seams. 
   
   
       8 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein the helmet dome consists of pure titanium. 
   
   
       9 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein the helmet dome is drawn forwardly at both sides starting from the lateral outward bulge portions in the ear region to form cheek protection regions, wherein the two cheek protection regions are in one piece with the remainder of the helmet dome. 
   
   
       10 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein the helmet has a pivotably mounted visor. 
   
   
       11 . A helmet according to  claim 10  wherein the visor in the closed condition laterally covers over the foremost portion of the cheek protection regions. 
   
   
       12 . A helmet comprising a helmet dome provided with internal padding, wherein the helmet dome in the ear region has lateral outward bulge portions for receiving ear defender capsules, wherein the ear defender capsules are mounted movably to the helmet dome. 
   
   
       13 . A helmet according to  claim 12  wherein said helmet dome together with the lateral outward bulge portions in the ear region comprises a deep-drawn titanium sheet. 
   
   
       14 . A helmet according to  claim 12  wherein said helmet is a protective helmet for operational services. 
   
   
       15 . A helmet according to  claim 13  wherein said deep-drawn titanium sheet is a single piece sheet. 
   
   
       16 . A helmet according to  claim 12  wherein each ear defender capsule is urged inwardly away from the helmet dome by way of a spring device. 
   
   
       17 . A helmet according to  claim 16  wherein said spring device is a leaf spring. 
   
   
       18 . A helmet according to  claim 12  wherein each ear defender capsule is carried by the respective spring device which is fixed to the helmet dome. 
   
   
       19 . A helmet according to  claim 12  wherein there is provided for each ear defender capsule a displacement device which is preferably passed outwardly around the lower edge of the helmet dome and by way of which the position of the respective ear defender capsule is variable relative to the helmet dome. 
   
   
       20 . A helmet according to  claim 19  wherein the displacement device operates against the force of the spring device. 
   
   
       21 . A helmet according to  claim 19  wherein said displacement device is formed by a strap which is fixed to the respective ear defender capsule or to the spring device and which can be fixed to the outside of the helmet. 
   
   
       22 . A helmet according to  claim 21  wherein said straps can be fixed to a holder on the outside of said helmet. 
   
   
       23 . A helmet according to  claim 1  wherein at least one fabric liner is arranged at least region-wise on the inside of the helmet dome. 
   
   
       24 . A helmet according to  claim 12  wherein at least one fabric liner is arranged at least region-wise on the inside of the helmet dome. 
   
   
       25 . A helmet according to  claim 23  wherein said fabric liner is a high-strength ballistic fabric. 
   
   
       26 . A helmet according to  claim 24  wherein said fabric liner is a high-strength ballistic fabric. 
   
   
       27 . A helmet according to  claim 23  wherein the fabric liner at least partially comprises materials, selected from the group aramid fabric, PE fabric, UD material or combinations thereof. 
   
   
       28 . A helmet according to  claim 24  wherein the fabric liner at least partially comprises materials, selected from the group aramid fabric, PE fabric, UD material or combinations thereof . 
   
   
       29 . A helmet according to  claim 23  wherein layers are glued to each other or the fabric liner is glued to the helmet dome. 
   
   
       30 . A helmet according to  claim 24  wherein layers are glued to each other or the fabric liner is glued to the helmet dome.
