FACE PROTECTION TO BE FASTENED TO A PROTECTIVE HELMET, PARTICULARLY FOR FORESTRY WORKERS

摘要

A face protection (33) to be fastened to a protective helmet (30), particularly for forestry workers, is described. A visor (132) has two retaining arms (32) and two bearing devices (50) which can be fastened on the inside of a helmet shell (36) for the retaining arms (32) for pivoting the visor (132) between an operating position in which the visor (132) is swung downwards and protects the face, and a parking position in which the visor (132) is swung upwards. Each retaining arm (32) extends towards the free end thereof which can be connected to the bearing device (50) from the visor (132) substantially parallel to and at such a distance from the visor (132) that a slot (37) is formed between the retaining arm (32) and the visor (132) through which slot the helmet shell (36) extends in the parking position, and that, in the parking position, the visor (132) is arranged close-fitting on the outer surface of the helmet shell (36).
