Product working Mechanism

Upper Portion Folding Mechanism:

Slide Button Activation:On the sides of the helmet, there are visible slide buttons that control the locking mechanism. These buttons are designed ergonomically for easy access and operation.

The upper portion of the helmet is mounted on hinged joints on the back, allowing it to pivot backward smoothly when unlocked.

Folding Action:When the slide button is pressed, a locking mechanism disengages. This could be spring-loaded or motorized to ensure ease of movement.The helmet’s top portion (which covers the head) tilts backward along a track system within the helmet structure. This track ensures it folds up and over the back, keeping it compact when not in use.Once fully folded, the upper helmet portion rests against the back of the helmet’s lower part, providing a sleek, clean appearance. This action should be smooth, preventing any snagging or awkward movement.

Working can be done using – To achieve the described functionality, the helmet could be designed with a mechanical system that incorporates a track and hinge mechanism. Here’s a possible way to structure it:

Track System: The track would be embedded within the shell of the helmet, running along the top edge and potentially extending downward along the rear section. This track needs to be smooth and durable to allow the top portion to move easily.

Guide Rails and Slots: The helmet’s top portion would have guide rails or slots along the sides, allowing it to slide backward along the track when activated. These rails ensure the helmet top moves along a controlled path and does not shift erratically.

Hinge Mechanism: The rear section of the helmet could include a hinged structure that enables the top portion to tilt backward. The hinges would be concealed within the structure when the helmet is in use but activate when the top portion is moved backward. This helps the helmet top fold neatly over the back.

Spring or Motorized Mechanism: To assist the movement and ensure the top portion folds back smoothly, a spring or motorized system could be incorporated. The spring would assist in pulling the top back, while a motorized version could allow for automatic adjustment.

Locking Mechanism: When the helmet top is folded back, a locking mechanism (such as a snap or latch) could engage to hold it in place securely. This ensures the helmet stays compact when not in use but can be easily re-engaged to return to its normal position.

Re-locking Mechanism:To revert to a full helmet, simply press the slide button again to re-lock the upper portion. The spring or motorized system will guide the helmet back into place, with the top securely locking back onto the lower portion.

Retractable Shield Mechanism:

Shield Design:The shield sits flush with the front of the helmet when extended, offering full face protection.The shield has rotating hinges on the sides of the helmet, which allow it to rotate and fold backwards when needed.

Rotating Mechanism with Slide Button:The slide button near the sides of the helmet also controls the shield’s rotation.When the button is pressed, it activates the mechanism, allowing the shield to rotate around its hinges, folding it against the back of the helmet.The mechanism can be spring-assisted, ensuring the shield stays in place once retracted, and does not move unless the slide button is activated again.
