Helmet with night-vision device and optimized safety and ergonomics

摘要

The helmet includes a tinted visor (5) which can be held in a operational position for night vision by a push-button with a retaining ball device (12,13,15). The visor may be folded back either manually or automatically in the event of the pilot's ejection. The automatic folding back of the visor takes effect as a result of a tensioned spring (16). In order to hold the visor in the closed position there is a snap-fitting hook (19,23). The helmet also includes a combiner fixed to an optical block with a lens system providing night time image intensification. The helmet also includes a box providing the batteries and power supply circuit for the helmet, integrated within the structure of the helmet itself.
