Abstract (en)

A welding helmet (1) that has a protective shield (2) and a head suspension system (6). The protective shield (2) and the head suspension system (6) are pivotally connected to each other for swiveling the protective shield (2) between a protective position, in which the protective shield (2) covers a wearer's face, and an upraised position, in which the protective shield (2) uncovers the wearer's face. The welding helmet (1) further has a stop mechanism (10) that restricts downward swiveling beyond the protective position. The stop mechanism (10) has a spline coupling (12) that enables the stop mechanism (10) to be adjusted between a low position and a high position. In the low position the protective position of the protective shield (2) is offset downward with respect to the high position. The spline coupling (12) has a male spline part (13) and a female spline part (14) that are resiliently urged for engagement with each other. The male spline part (13) and the female spline part (14) are disengageable from each other for adjusting the stop mechanism (10).
