Protective helmet and support portion for said protective helmet

Abstract

The invention relates to a protective helmet which has an outer shell and an inner layer. The protective helmet according to the invention is characterized in that the inner layer has a plurality of pads. The protective helmet according to the invention provides a slimmer visual appearance and an improved fit.

         6 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 3 , characterised in that a space is formed between the carrier sections. 
     
     
         7 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 3 , characterised in that at least one carrier section defines a convexity, which is occupied, at least in part, by a pad and that the convexity engages into a concavity in an adjacent carrier section. 
     
     
         8 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 3 , characterised in that two adjacent carriers sections overlap in at least one section. 
     
     
         9 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 3 , characterised in that the carrier sections have a plurality of openings. 
     
     
         10 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 3 , characterised in that the carrier sections are directed connected to the outer shell. 
     
     
         11 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that arranged between the inner layer and the outer shell there is a functional and/or decorative layer. 
     
     
         12 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 11 , characterised in that the inner layer and/or the functional and/or decorative layer are secured to the outer shell, preferably at individual positions. 
     
     
         13 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 12 , characterised in that the fastening is effected by rivets or is preferably releasable. 
     
     
         14 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 11 , characterised in that the functional and/or decorative layer is replaceable. 
     
     
         15 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that at least two pads have different heights with respect to the outer shell. 
     
     
         16 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the carrier section includes a flat carrier layer and an upper layer constituting the pads wherein preferably at least the upper layer includes an air permeable material. 
     
     
         17 . A protective helmet as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that a fastening strap, which is directly connected to the outer shell, and is preferably connected at the same positions as those at which the inner layer and the functional and/or decorative layer are fastened. 
     
     
         18 . A carrier section for protective helmets, characterised in that a plurality of pads are arranged on the carrier section. 
     
     
         19 . A carrier section as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised in that the carrier section includes at least one device for connecting the carrier section to another carrier section. 
     
     
         20 . A carrier section as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised in that the carrier section defines at least one convexity, which is preferably occupied, at least partially, by a pad and is advantageously matched to the shape of the pad. 
     
     
         21 . A carrier section as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised in that the carrier section includes a flat edge, at least in part. 
     
     
         22 . A carrier section as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised by a plurality of openings. 
     
     
         23 . A carrier section as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised in that the pads are of different heights. 
     
     
         24 . A carrier section as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised in that the carrier section includes a flat carrier layer and an upper layer constituting the pads, wherein preferably at least the upper layer includes an air permeable material. 
     
     
         25 . A pad insert with at least two carrier sections as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised in that the carrier sections are so connected together that they constitute a three-dimensional body.
