Abstract
The purpose of this invention is a system to support at least one visor (2a; 2b) on a helmet (1), the visor being mobile on a slide (30a; 30b) between an operational position and a withdrawn position. The system according to the invention comprises, on each side of the helmet (1), a support and guide part (3) including the slide (30a; 30b), and held on the helmet (1) firstly by an attachment device (4), and secondly by a retaining device (5) preventing the part from leaving the helmet (1). In the release position, the attachment device (4) completely releases the part (3). However the part remains attached to the helmet by the retaining device (5) such that it can move to the position from which the visor can be extracted from the slide without hitting against the helmet shell (10). The system in the invention makes it possible to quickly change the visor without the need for tools. It is particularly useful for aircraft or helicopter pilots.
