A headband for a protection helmet comprises a strip forming at least a part of a ring around a user's head. An adjustment device adjusts a circumference of the ring. The end of the strip is fixed to an attachment point that is movable with respect to the body of the adjustment device. A rotary actuator is connected to the adjustment device by means of a transmission so that rotation of the rotary actuator results in the attachment point being moved with respect to the body. The transmission comprises a flexible transmission shaft configured to transfer a rotary torque applied on the rotary actuator into a rotary torque applied on the adjustment device to move the attachment point and modify the circumference of the ring. A protection helmet comprises such headband.

An adjustment system comprises a strap and an adjustment buckle configured to adjust the strap. The adjustment buckle comprises a body defining a first through hole and a second through hole extending over the thickness of the body. A partitioning wall is fixed to the body. The partitioning wall separates the first through hole and the second through hole in a first direction perpendicular to the thickness of the body. The strap makes a loop inside the body and passes round the partitioning wall. A cover is fixed to the body and installed facing the partitioning wall. The cover and the partitioning wall are separated by a larger distance than the thickness of the strap.

Adjustment system

A headband comprises a strip forming a part of a ring around a user's head. An adjustment device adjusts a circumference of the ring by moving one end of the strip that is fixed to an attachment point movable with respect to the body. A rotary actuator is functionally connected to the adjustment device by means of a transmission so that rotation of the rotary actuator results in movement of the attachment point. The adjustment device comprises a threaded section and a nut. The nut and threaded section form a helical link, wherein rotation of the rotary actuator results in movement of the nut along the threaded section. The nut or threaded section moves along a longitudinal axis of the threaded section and supports the attachment point. A helmet comprises such headband.

A protective helmet includes a head support fixed to a crown. The head support forms a U shape with a frontal part fixed to the frontal part of the crown. The two ends of the head support are fixed to the side walls of the crown via two attachment points. First adjustment parts adjust the length of the head support between the two attachment points and the distance separating it from the frontal part of the crown. A neckband is fixed to the occipital part of the crown and is fitted in movable manner. Second adjustment parts of the neckband adjust the distance between the neckband and the frontal part of the head support.

Protective helmet and method for adjusting a protective helmet

A connector including: first part designed to be connected to crown of protective helmet, second part designed to be connected to crown of protective helmet and fitted in removable manner on first part, connecting part mechanically connecting first part and second part so as to form first mechanical connection, movable part moving between first and second positions and configured: to prevent first and second parts from coming detached from one another when the parts are subjected to first threshold tensile force, when movable part is in first position, to enable first and second parts to be detached from one another when the parts are subjected to second threshold tensile force lower than that of first threshold tensile force, when movable part is in second position. The invention also relates to protective helmet provided with one such connector, as well as to an assembly method of such connector.

Chin strap connector with variable breaking

An attachment device for attaching two mechanical connectors includes a strap and a protective enclosure. The strap includes opposite first and second ends folded so as to define first and second loops separated by a central part to which the first and second ends are secured, each loop being configured to allow a connector to pass. The protective enclosure includes main flanges and side flanges connected in a permanent manner, the main flanges covering main surfaces of the strap and the side flanges covering lateral surfaces of the central part so as to define a first closed loop forming a first opening around the first loop and a second closed loop forming a second opening around the second loop. Each opening is configured to allow passage of a connector, and at least one of the openings is configured to enable the strap to be inserted in the protective enclosure.
