DEVICE TO ACTUATE VISORS, PARTICULARLY FOR MOTORCYCLISTS

摘要

: The invention relates to a device for connecting a visor to a helmet (e.g. a motorcyclists' helmet) in such a way that the visor can be raised by a one handed operation of the user. Each end of the visor has a hinge and each hinge is attached to the helmet via a slider which allows the visor to be moved away from the helmet before being raised. The slider includes a rack and pinion assembly which causes rotation of the visor to the raised position as the slider reaches the end of its travel. Movement of the slider is controlled by flexible cables attached to a control button or the like at the front of the helmet.
