HELMET VISOR PROVIDING DIRECT VISIBILITY

Abstract: A visor for helmets that includes a forwardly directed upper part (2/2-1) which can be made of a darker material like "Ray-ban". The lower part (2/2-2), positioned rearwardly of the upper part, is made of transparent and light material and combines for total protection of the whole visor. The free area (2/2-3) (gap) sheltered and protected by the upper part, provides direct visibility without any interference and protects against rain. Since the flow of air through the visor is retarded, rain drops, dust and snow are not admitted into this area.

Description: "HELL3T VISOR FBOVH.IJ.G DIRECT VISIBILITY" This application refers to a Visor for vehicular helmets -whi ch provides direct visibility -wi thout interfearance of- any εheet, glass, nor any sort of materials whi ch although transpa¬ rent, harm enormously the visibility. The enclosed drawings integrating this description show - fig.l/2 the combined visor separately, which can also be cas- ' ted in a single pi ece, or be combined in more pi eces. The upper part - spread ahead - fig. 2/ 2-1 can be made in a darker material, like "Hay-ban" whi ch also provides protec¬ tion against sun rays and blinding high lights and protects/shelters a free gap which will be described ahead. The lower part, set in a backward, posi tion - fig. 2/2-2 can be made in a normal transparent and light material, which combines protection of the whol e visor. Between the upper part (spread ahead) and the lo¬ wer part (in a backward position) there is a free area or gap - fig. 2-3 providing DIE2CT VISIBILITY, wi th the following features: - DIEΞCT SIGHT (without any interfearance) - FREE AREA, ( can not accumulate steam, dust or snow) - VEΪ.TILATI0Ϊ. (when wanted) - PROTECTION AGAI2.ST Bλlll DROPS, SHOW Al-TD DUST whi ch: is of fundamental importance and is the main object of this invention The upper part is assembled to the helmet by means of an aztzlβ - fig.2/2-4 which enabl es up and downward movements fo increasing or diminishing the free area (gap). There is also a kind of screw - fig. 2/ 2-5 for fastening the upper part in the desired p_o si tion. The lower part is assembled by means of a clamp and can be easily removed, if wanted - fig.2/2-6 At the standard position of both parts the flowing of air through the vi sor is avoided tj means of a soft strip of any material fixed under the visor. Thus rain drops, snow and dust are not admitted into the visor. All helmet visors known and available up to now, all over the world are made of a flexible material, darker than O PI norπial windshield of a motor car, which absorbs up to 27 / <> visibility, and helmet visors absorb more visibility. When it rains the visibility through a windshield is reduced substantially, whereas helmet visors reduce visibility up to 80 and even more. It is common that under this circumstance the rider takes off the visor. Then arises another big danger which is the impact caused Tzty the speed against the rain, hurting the eyes and the delicate skin of the face. At about 40/5O Kin/hour he begins to close his eyes automatically. Therefore the only way to drive safely under both good and bad wheather conditions is the combined visor for helmets. OMPI

Claims: CLAB-S 1. "VISOE FOR ES KETS WITH DIRECT VISIBILITY" is based on an upper part, spread ahead and is made ~zf a material darker than the normal, like "Ray-ban", which protects against bad wheather con- ditions, sun rays and blinding lights and also shelters the free area which provides direct visibility. 2. "VISOR IOH HΞLEETS V/ITΞ DIRECT VISIBILITY" is based a lower part, in a backward posi tion and made of transparent material which combines total protection of the whole visor. 3. "VISOR FOR HEIIIΞTS 7.ITΣI DIRECT VISIBILITY" is based on a free area (gap) sheltered and protected by the upper part which enables direct sight through the ύnspoilable area without any inter¬ fearance. It also enables ventilation (when wanted) and can be regu¬ lated increasing or diminishing this area. ^3RE ^ OMPI
