Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0685177A1] The helmet has a dome-shaped body (1). A removable chin guard (2) and a visor (6) are mounted pivotably at joints (3) on each side of the body. Each joint has a base plate (7) fixed to the body, having a circular opening (9) connected by a guide slot (11) to the plate periphery. A locking disc (14) forming the pivot axis of the chin guard is rotatably held in the opening and click stops at defined angles. A lug on the chin guard engages a radial slot (16) on the locking disc. This can rotate the locking disc to align the radial and guide slots, allowing removal of the chin guard. The guide slot and/or the radial slot pref. have an undercut profile. <IMAGE>
