A device for removably connecting a lining layer to an inner shock-absorbing portion of a helmet, mainly made of foam is disclosed. The device includes a first element constrainable to the lining layer and a second element constrainable to the inner shock-absorbing portion. The second element has a threaded portion that can be inserted by screwing it in the foam of the inner shock-absorbing portion. The device also includes means for the mechanical snap-fit coupling between the first and the second element.

Device for connecting a lining layer of a helmet to an inner shock-absorbing portion of a helmet

Protecting helmet of the type provided with at least one inner shell for shock absorption and at least one outer rigid shell that define a front opening for the face of a user, as well as a protective visor at least rotatable between a lowered position intercepting, at least partially, the front opening and a raised position disengaged from said front opening, and a raising/lowering mechanism to raise/lower the protective visor, wherein the raising/lowering mechanism comprises: Advantageously, the support of the lever body comprises at least one multiple-seat profile and the raising/lowering mechanism further comprises an intermediate disc-shaped element coupled with the afore said support of the lever body so that to rotate with respect to such support around a second axis, and also to swing with respect to the above mentioned first axis integrally with the support of the lever body. The intermediate disc-shaped element further comprises constraining means for the removable constraint to at least one of said hooking teeth of the protective visor in order to transmit at least the circular motion of the protective visor, during the raising or lowering thereof, to the same intermediate disc-shaped element, as well as engaging means, at least integrally rotatable with the same intermediate disc-shaped element, for the movable snap fitting with the afore mentioned at least one multiple-seat profile of the support of the lever body.
