JET TYPE HELMET FOR MOTOR VEHICLE RIDERS WITH A DOWNBLOWN AIR SWEPT VISOR

摘要

A jet type helmet including a cap body and a shield plate supported on the cap body at opposite sidewalls for opening and closing a window. An air intake is provided in a front wall of the cap body above the window for introducing air from a forward direction into the cap body when the shield plate is at its closed position in which the shield plate covers the window. The helmet further includes a diffuser disposed at an edge portion of the window to be communicated with the air intake hole and directing its opening toward an inner surface of the shield plate when in a closed position. Even when a wearer of the helmet is in a stooped position at the time of travelling, a cloud on the inner surface of the shield plate can be eliminated by introducing an air flow.
