Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0247503A1] The invention concerns a helmet comprising retractable visors for fast day/night reconfiguration. Therefor, the helmet (1) is adapted at the articulations of the visors to enable the use of articulations capable of being disassembled without using a tool. The day visor (15) is thus made modular and detachable and is mounted on the helmet by a translational movement along a direction (F) enabling the upper part to be engaged (16) in a sagittal guide rail of the helmet and rotation axes of the helmet in the articulation part of the lateral arms (8) of the visor, being manually locked with a pivoting lever (6). For night operations, the day visor is disassembled and replaced with a night module mounted with a similar type of articulation of the helmet. The invention is particularly applicable to aircraft pilot helmets, enabling unprepared ejection.
