Claim 1

Independent Claim 153 words

Anti-condensation visor, comprising an outer visor which relative to use is situated on the outermost peripheral surface of a helmet to which said visor belongs, which visor is provided with openings for fitting of said outer visor on said helmet, and which is provided with a lip for a user to fold away said outer visor, wherein an inner visor is detachably fitted against the inside wall of the outer visor and is held against said inside wall by at least one mechanical retaining means, while said inner visor rests over essentially its entire surface against the inside wall of the outer visor, and said inner visor is made from hydrophilic material, and has a radius of curvature which is greater than the radius of curvature of the outer visor, in order to obtain an initial tension for the purpose of pressing the inner visor against the inside wall of the outer visor.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 153 words

Anti-condensation visor, comprising an outer visor which relative to use is situated on the outermost peripheral surface of a helmet to which said visor belongs, which visor is provided with openings for fitting of said outer visor on said helmet, and which is provided with a lip for a user to fold away said outer visor, wherein an inner visor is detachably fitted against the inside wall of the outer visor and is held against said inside wall by at least one mechanical retaining means, while said inner visor rests over essentially its entire surface against the inside wall of the outer visor, and said inner visor is made from hydrophilic material, and has a radius of curvature which is greater than the radius of curvature of the outer visor, in order to obtain an initial tension for the purpose of pressing the inner visor against the inside wall of the outer visor.
