This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0155282, filed on Dec. 5, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to a chin guard positioning assembly and a helmet having the same, and more particularly, to a chin guard positioning assembly capable of determining the position of a chin guard configured to protect a user's chin and a helmet having the same.
Motorcycle helmets are used to protect a head and face of a user riding a motorcycle. The motorcycle helmets are released in various types to allow several factors such as purpose, application purpose, and user's preference to be taken into consideration. When each type of the helmets is simply listed to describe specifically, full-face helmets are the most basic helmets that are formed to surround a head and entire face of a rider. Half-face helmets are easily worn helmets that are formed to surround only a top of the rider's head. Open-face helmets are the intermediate form of the full-face helmets and the half-face helmets which are formed to surround the head and a portion of the face so that a chin portion is exposed. System helmets are the same as the full-face helmets in that the helmets surround the head and the entire face but differ in that the helmets can be opened and closed in the portion in which the chin is surrounded.
Due to the recent tendency to pursue both safety and convenience, the demand for system helmets is increasing, and thus, various products are being released. Each product has a different mechanism to move the position of a chin guard, and thus they have differentiation from each other. A chin guard opening and closing device (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0659171, registered on Dec. 12, 2006) of a conventional system helmet, which is one product among those, is a device implemented using a mechanism utilizing a rack-pinion and has problems in that it is difficult to manufacture and failure rate is high when it is used for a long time. Further, since the chin guard moves only when an external force is applied, the conventional chin guard caused problems that the chin guard may not be effectively operated in a situation in which the external force cannot be effectively transmitted thereto, for example, when a driver wears a thick coat.
The present disclosure is directed to a chin guard positioning assembly having a simple structure and high durability, and a helmet having the same.
However, the problems to be solved by the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described problems, and problems that are not mentioned above should be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the disclosure pertains from this disclosure and the accompanying drawings.

Referring to
Here, the shield part 400 may be brought into contact with the chin guard 300 in a protective position.
At this time, the position of the shield moving part 1500 may be referred to as a front position.
When the shield moving part 1500 is in the front position, the shield part 400 may protect the user's face.
Here, the shield part 400 may be separated from the chin guard 300 in the protective position.
Here, the position of the shield moving part 1500 may refer to as a rear position.
When the shield moving part 1500 is in the rear position, the shield part 400 may not protect the user's face.
Hereinafter, an operation of the positioning assembly of the chin guard 300 according to the movement of the position of the chin guard 300 will be described in detail.
The shield moving part 1500 may be rotated from the front position to the rear position so that the position thereof may be moved.
Further, the shield moving part 1500 may be rotated from the rear position to the front position so that the position thereof may be moved.
Accordingly, the position of the shield part 400 may also be moved.
First, a process in which the shield moving part 1500 is in the rear position and the position of the chin guard 300 is moved from the protective position to the open position will be described.
Hereinafter, reference numerals will be referred to
Specifically,
Further,
Further,
Further,
Further,
When the chin guard 300 is in the protective position, the chin guard 300 may be directly coupled to the helmet body 200.
Although the direct coupling of the chin guard 300 to the helmet body 200 is not shown in the drawings in detail, the direct coupling may be utilized by adopting various fastening methods at a level that is obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in system helmets.
When the shield moving part 1500 is in the rear position, the movable protrusion 1550 may be inserted into the space provided by the open fixing part 1213.
Further, the movable insertion part 1560 may be disposed on the first seating space S10.
The movement elastic part 1570 may press the movable insertion part 1560 so that the movable insertion part 1560 is brought into close contact with the upper surface of the second shield-guide protrusion 1211e forming the first seating space S10.
Referring to
This may be because the chin guard 300 rotates in an upward direction by attraction between the fixed magnetic force part 1300 and the first movable magnetic force part 1410.
The movable magnetic force part 1400 may include the first movable magnetic force part 1410 which interacts with the magnetic force of the fixed magnetic force part 1300 when the movable base part 1100 is in the first position.
Here, the movable body part 1110 may also rotate in an upward direction according to the movement of the position of the chin guard 300, and, as a result, the rotating shaft part 1220 may rotate, and the second movement connection part 1120b may also be slid on the guide protrusion 1211b.
The first position may be a position closer to the position of the movable base part 1100 when the chin guard 300 is in the protective position than the position of the movable base part 1100 when the chin guard 300 is in the open position.
At this time, the attraction between the fixed magnetic force part 1300 and the first movable magnetic force part 1410 may be maximized.
Referring to
Specifically, the second movement connection part 1120b may be slid on the guide protrusion 1211b when the position of the chin guard 300 is continuously moved toward the open position.
Here, since the radius of curvature of the guide part 1211a continuously varies, a separation distance between the second movement connection part 1120b and the rotating shaft part 1220 may vary.
Accordingly, the rotating shaft part 1220 may be slid in the lead part 1111.
For example, the rotating shaft part 1220 may be brought into contact with one end portion of the lead part 1111 when the movable base part 1100 is in the first position.
The rotating shaft part 1220 may be slid in the lead part 1111 from one end portion of the lead part 1111 toward the other end portion of the lead part 1111 as the position of the chin guard 300 is moved from the protective position to the open position.
When the position of the chin guard 300 is moved from the state shown in
Here, the interaction may refer to attraction due to the magnetic force.
When the chin guard 300 is continuously positioned in the open position in the state shown in
The second position may be a position closer to the position of the movable base part 1100 when the chin guard 300 is in the open position than the position of the movable base part 1100 when the chin guard 300 is in the protective position.
The movable magnetic force part 1400 may include the second movable magnetic force part 1420 which is spaced apart from the first movable magnetic force part 1410 so as to interact with the magnetic force of the fixed magnetic force part 1300 when the movable base part 1100 is in the second position.
The first movable magnetic force part 1410 may be disposed to face the second movable magnetic force part 1420 with respect to the lead part 1111.
When the movable base part 1100 is moved from the first position to the second position, in the beginning, the attraction between the fixed magnetic force part 1300 and the first movable magnetic force part 1410 may be gradually decreased, and then attraction between the fixed magnetic force part 1300 and the second movable magnetic force part 1420 may be gradually increased.
Accordingly, in a section in which the attraction between the fixed magnetic force part 1300 and the second movable magnetic force part 1420 is gradually increased, the user may rotate the chin guard 300 even when the user applies a small amount of external force to the chin guard 300
Since the helmet user usually wears a thick coat, it is inconvenient for the user to move the chin guard 300 to the open position, but according to the positioning assembly of the chin guard 300 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the position of the chin guard 300 may be automatically moved to the vicinity of the open position by the magnetic force even when the user rotates the chin guard 300 in the protective position only to a certain position.
Referring to
The second movement connection part 1120b may be brought into contact with the pressing protrusion 1212a-3.
The position of the second movement connection part 1120b may not be moved by the pressing protrusion 1212a-3.
In the state of
Here, the fixed elastic part 1212b is contracted so that the position of the second movement connection part 1120b positioned at one side of the pressing protrusion 1212a-3 may be moved in the other side direction of the pressing protrusion 1212a-3.
When the second movement connection part 1120b is positioned at the other side of the pressing protrusion 1212a-3, the fixed elastic part 1212b may expand and the position of the second movement connection part 1120b may be fixed.
The position of the chin guard 300 may be fixed in the open position by the position restricting assembly part 1212.
When the chin guard 300 is in the open position, the rotating shaft part 1220 may be brought into contact with the other end portion of the lead part 1111.
Further, the protrusion 1222 may be brought into contact with the movement extension part 1530.
The above description may be the description of the process in which the position of the chin guard 300 is moved from the protective position to the open position when the shield moving part 1500 is in the rear position.
The operation in which the position of the chin guard 300 is moved from the open position to the protective position when the shield moving part 1500 is in the front position is an operation opposite to the above-described process, and thus a detailed description thereof may be omitted.
For example, the process, in which the position of the chin guard 300 is moved from the protective position to the open position when the shield moving part 1500 is in the rear position, may be a process in which
When the position of the movable base part 1100 is moved from the second position to the first position, the movable body part 1110 may be slid on the rotating shaft part 1220 corresponding to the movement of the position of the movement connection part 1120 so that the separation distance between the rotating shaft part 1220 and the movement connection part 1120 is changed.
Hereinafter, a process in which the shield moving part 1500 is in the front position and the position of the chin guard 300 is moved from the open position to the protective position will be described.
When the movable base part 1100 is brought into contact with the rotating shaft part 1220, and the position of the movable base part 1100 is moved from the second position to the first position, the position of the shield moving part 1500 may be moved from the front position to the rear position according to the rotation of the rotating shaft part 1220.
When the movable base part 1100 is brought into contact with the protrusion 1222 and the position of the movable base part 1100 is moved from the second position to the first position, the position of the shield moving part 1500 may be moved from the front position to the rear position according to the rotation of the protrusion 1222.
When the shield moving part 1500 is in the front position, the movement extension part 1530 may be disposed at a position which is in conflict with a movement path of the protrusion 1222 while the movable base part 1100 is rotated.
When the shield moving part 1500 is in the front position, the movable protrusion 1550 may be disposed at the third seating space S30.
Further, when the shield moving part 1500 is in the front position, and the chin guard 300 is in the open position, the protrusion 1222 and the movement contact part 1520 may be brought into contact with each other.
Since the position of the movable base part 1100 is determined by the position of the chin guard 300, technical features related to the position of the movable base part 1100 when the chin guard 300 is in the open position may be omitted within a range overlapping with the above description.
When an external force is applied to the chin guard 300 in the open position to rotate the chin guard 300 toward the protective position, the rotating shaft part 1220 may also be rotated in the same direction.
The protrusion 1222 may push the movement contact part 1520 while the rotating shaft part 1220 is rotated, and, accordingly, the shield moving part 1500 is also rotated so that the position of the movable insertion part 1560 may be moved from the third seating space S30 to the second seating space S20.
The shield moving part 1500 may also be rotated from the rear position toward the front position according to the rotation of the shield moving part 1500.

The chin guard 300 in the protective position may be rotated so that the position thereof is moved toward the open position in the state in which the shield moving part 1500 is in the front position.
Accordingly, the movable base part 1100 may be rotated together with the rotating shaft part 1220.
The chin guard 300 and the shield part 400 may be brought into contact with each other while the chin guard 300 is rotated from the protective position to the open position.
When the chin guard 300 and the shield part 400 are brought into contact with each other, the shield part 400 may be rotated together with the chin guard 300 while the chin guard 300 is rotated.
As the shield part 400 is rotated, the shield moving part 1500 may also be rotated.
The shield moving part 1500 may be rotated until the movable insertion part 1560 in the third seating space S30 is disposed in the first seating space S10.
Accordingly, the shield moving part 1500 may be positioned at the rear position.
When the shield moving part 1500 is positioned at the rear position, the shield part 400 may not be rotated any more, and only the chin guard 300 may be rotated.
The chin guard 300 may be rotated to the open position by being spaced apart from the shield part 400 when the shield moving part 1500 is in the rear position, and a detailed description thereof may be omitted within a range overlapping with the above description.
