Sports helmet

Abstract

A sports helmet arrangement includes a helmet that has a helmet shell, a visor and a bearing device having a left and right bearing arrangement. The visor is mounted on the helmet shell by the bearing arrangements in a way that it can be pivoted between a protective position largely covering a face opening and a released position largely exposing the face opening. The helmet defines a bracing portion for the visor in the region of its helmet-shell rim bounding the face opening. Each of the pivot axes can be displaced respectively from an upper position lying closer to the helmet-shell upper side into a lower position spaced further apart from the helmet-shell upper side.

What is claimed is:

         4 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one intermediate position is provided between the upper position and the lower position of each of the two pivot axes. 
     
     
         5 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the pivot axes of the bearing arrangements is adjustable respectively along an adjustment path from its upper position to the lower position and vice versa. 
     
     
         6 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein a latching device is provided between each of the two bearing arrangements and the helmet shell, by means of which latching device each of the positions of the respective pivot axis relative to the helmet shell can be defined along the adjustment path. 
     
     
         7 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one first receiving opening for formation of the upper position as a first fixed position and at least one second receiving opening for formation of the lower position as a second fixed position are provided respectively in the two temporal regions in the helmet shell of the helmet. 
     
     
         8 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein respectively a first bearing element is provided for formation of the two bearing arrangements, and respectively the upper position of the two pivot axes is defined by the first bearing elements in the first fixed position with respect to the helmet shell. 
     
     
         9 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein respectively a second bearing element is provided for formation of the two bearing arrangements, and respectively the lower position of the two pivot axes is defined by the second bearing elements in the second fixed position with respect to the helmet shell. 
     
     
         10 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 8 , wherein the first bearing element and the second bearing element are respectively designed as a left embodiment and as a right embodiment. 
     
     
         11 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 7 , wherein the two pivot axes are respectively designed as physical axles and the visor is mounted pivotably on the physical axles, and wherein each of the physical axles passes through the first bearing element and the first receiving opening or each of the physical axles passes through the second bearing element and the second receiving opening. 
     
     
         12 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 11 , wherein each of the physical axles is held in fixed manner on the helmet shell. 
     
     
         13 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 8 , wherein each of the bearing elements is held in likewise immovably positioned manner on the helmet shell when the pivot axes are situated in the first fixed position or in the second fixed position. 
     
     
         14 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the left bearing arrangement comprises a left bearing base part and the right bearing arrangement comprises a right bearing base part, and wherein the two bearing base parts can be disposed in a manner interchangeable with one another on the helmet shell for formation of the upper position or of the lower position. 
     
     
         15 . The sports helmet arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the visor comprises respectively a bearing-axis element both on its left end portion and on its right end portion, and each bearing-axis element is inserted optionally either into the first receiving opening or into the second receiving opening.
