Protecting helmet with raising/lowering mechanism of the visor

Abstract

A protecting helmet is disclosed having a rigid outer shell, a front opening for the face of a user, and a protective visor having a raising/lowering mechanism. The raising/lowering mechanism has a base member, movably or integrally constrained to, or made in a single piece with, the outer shell and arranged in a side position with respect to the front opening and a fastening pin constrained in a respective opening of the protective visor. The base member has a seat adapted to rotatably and reversibly house the fastening pin; and the mechanism has member, a first magnetic-coupling member being constrained to, or made in a single piece with, the fastening pin, and a second magnetic-coupling member being constrained to, or made in a single piece with, the base member.

1 . A helmet comprising a rigid outer shell, a front opening in said rigid shell for the face of a user, a protective visor rotatable between a lowered position intercepting, at least partially, the front opening and a raised position disengaged from said front opening, and a raising/lowering mechanism to raise/lower the protective visor, the raising/lowering mechanism comprising:
 a) a base member, movably or integrally constrained to, or made in a single piece with, the outer shell, and arranged in a side position with respect to said front opening;   b) a fastening pin constrained in a respective opening of the protective visor;   wherein said base member comprises a seat adapted to rotatably and reversibly house said fastening pin;   and wherein said mechanism comprises a first and a second magnetic-coupling member, said first magnetic-coupling member being constrained to, or made in a single piece with, said fastening pin, said second magnetic-coupling member being constrained to, or made in a single piece with, said base member.   
     
     
         2 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein said base member comprises a body and a lid constrained to said body. 
     
     
         3 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein said seat of said base member comprises an elastic countering member. 
     
     
         4 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein said base member comprises an unlocking device adapted to release said fastening pin from said seat. 
     
     
         5 . The helmet according to  claim 4 , wherein said unlocking device is translationally movable within said base member. 
     
     
         6 . The helmet according to  claim 4 , wherein said unlocking device comprises a protuberance adapted to move and/or deform said elastic countering member. 
     
     
         7 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein said unlocking device comprises a protrusion adapted to cooperate with said fastening pin so as to axially move said fastening pin to move said visor away from the seat of the mechanism. 
     
     
         8 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein said base member comprises a toothed portion adapted to cooperate with one or more protuberances of said visor. 
     
     
         9 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein said base member comprises a housing portion made in said outer shell or integrally constrained to said outer shell, wherein said body is constrained, optionally in a rotatable manner, to said housing portion. 
     
     
         10 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein both said first and second magnetic-coupling members are magnets.
