DISPOSITIF DE MONTAGE D'UNE VISIERE SUR UN CASQUE DE PROTECTION

Casque de protection. Le casque 10 présente deux poches externes 11 ouvertes vers le haut. Des montures 13 pour la visière 15 présentent chacune un premier bras 12 prévu pour être introduit dans l'une des poches 11 et un second bras 19 allongé et élastique prévu pour être dirigé vers l'avant du casque. Des pattes de montage 18 sont formées sur la visière 15 pour s'articuler au second bras 19, chaque patte de montage 18 étant maintenue en contact du second bras 19 associé par une entretoise ou pièce d'écartement 23. Montage d'une visière sur un casque de protection. A protective helmet is provided with two externally located pockets for receiving fittings adapted to carry accessories. An elongate, resilient arm at each fitting extends towards the front of the helmet, and forms one component in a pivot joint. The face shield is provided with two mounting tabs, to be attached to the elongate arms. Each pivot joint comprises a stud insertable in a bore, the mounting being facilitated by flexing the resilient arms outwards, and the tab is retained into engagement with the associated arm by a wart at the tab abutting against the shell of the helmet. At least one of the tabs is provided with a transversely running ledge, and the end of the arm is defined by two side edges arranged at right angles to each other. In an inactive position the ledge rests against one of said edges, which in mounted position runs substantially horizontally. When the shield is swung to active position the ledge abuts against the other edge, the relative positions being selected so the ledge tardily passes the corner between the side edges, when the shield is swung from one position to the other.
