Unit composed of helmet and protective eye mask

Abstract

Unit composed of helmet and goggles, comprising a helmet cap and an eye protection element that is configured so as to be placed in front of the wearer's face. The upper edge of the eye protection element is adapted to the profile of the lower front edge of the helmet cap. A magnetic device is arranged on the two edges and has a first series of permanent magnets which are rigidly connected to one of the two edges and interact, by magnetic attraction, with complementary elements that are provided on the opposite edge. This front magnetic connection area between the two edges furthermore comprises tilt orientation means of the goggles for adjusting the contact with the face.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A unit composed of helmet and protective goggles, comprising:
 a shell-shaped helmet cap comprising a fastening system and   an eye protection element which is configured so as to be placed in front of the wearer's face,   wherein the upper edge of the eye protection element is adapted to the profile of the lower edge on the front side of the helmet cap,   wherein a magnetic device is arranged on both edges for securing the eye protection element of the goggles to the helmet cap,   wherein the magnetic device has a first series of permanent magnets which are rigidly connected to one of the two edges and interact, by magnetic attraction, with complementary elements that are provided on the other, opposite edge, and   wherein the front magnetic connection area between the respective edges comprises tilt orientation means of the goggles for adjusting the contact with the face.   
     
     
         2 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein the pole surfaces, which come into contact in the magnetic connection area, are plane. 
     
     
         3 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein the complementary elements are formed of ferromagnetic parts. 
     
     
         4 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein the complementary elements are formed of a second series of permanent magnets the polarity of which is opposite to the polarity of the magnets of the first series. 
     
     
         5 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein the tilt orientation means are arranged in the central front connection area and comprise snap-in members and complementary notches for positioning the goggles so as to allow an adjustment movement about a tilt axis. 
     
     
         6 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 5 , wherein the magnetic connection area has lateral areas that are arranged on both sides of the central area and comprise permanent magnets and complementary magnetic elements. 
     
     
         7 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnets are accommodated in grooves of the lower edge via an elastic spring system ( 26 ). 
     
     
         8 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible connection means are arranged between the helmet and the goggles to prevent the latter from getting lost when in a position of non-use. 
     
     
         9 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 8 , wherein the connection means comprise a drawstring, wherein one end of which is secured to the goggles while the opposite end interacts with a roll-up device inside the helmet cap, wherein the drawstring has two different lengths: a shorter length when the goggles are in the position of use and the full length when they are in the position of non-use. 
     
     
         10 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein the eye protection element is fixable relative to the helmet cap by means of the magnetic device in a number of vertical positions on the helmet cap. 
     
     
         11 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 10 , wherein the helmet cap comprises an insert that is provided with the helmet-side part of the magnetic device, the vertical position of the insert being variable relative to the other components of the helmet cap. 
     
     
         12 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one pivot joint is arranged between the goggles and the helmet cap for pivoting the goggles between a position of use and a storage position. 
     
     
         13 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , comprising at least one face pressure spring element for pressing the goggles to the wearer's face. 
     
     
         14 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 1 , wherein in order to adjust the tilt of the goggles, the upper edge extends along a pivotably mounted adjustment member of the goggles, the adjustment member being provided with the goggles-side part of the magnetic device. 
     
     
         15 . A unit composed of helmet and goggles according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one face pressure spring element is arranged on a pivot bearing of the adjustment member.
