Abstract
Abstract A protective helmet of the type with an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each pivotable with respect to the shell between two positions, i.e., between a low active position of use and a high active position of non-use, wherein the first shield is articulated with respect to the shell around a first pivot axis, while the second shield is articulated with respect to the shell around a second pivot axis, with the transverse pivot axis of the first shield differing from the transverse pivot axis of the second shield.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A protective helmet of the type comprising an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each said shield being pivotable with respect to the external shell between two positions, said two positions being a low active position of use and a high inactive position of non-use, said first shield being articulated with respect to said external shell around a first pivot axis, and said second shield is articulated with respect to said external shell around a second pivot axis, said transverse pivot axis of said first shield being different from said transverse pivot axis of said second shield; wherein said first shield is a face shield with larger dimensions than said second shield, said second shield being an eye shield; wherein said two shields are each composed of a transparent wall, each said transparent wall being substantially a portion of a sphere.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A protective helmet of the type comprising an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each said shield being pivotable with respect to the external shell between two positions, said two positions being a low active position of use and a high inactive position of non-use, said first shield being articulated with respect to said external shell around a first pivot axis, and said second shield is articulated with respect to said external shell around a second pivot axis, said transverse pivot axis of said first shield being different from said transverse pivot axis of said second shield; wherein said first shield is a face shield with larger dimensions than said second shield, said second shield being an eye shield; wherein said two shields are each composed of a transparent wall, each said transparent wall being substantially a portion of a sphere.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A protective helmet according to claim 1 , wherein said transparent wall of said first shield has a radius greater than a radius of said transparent wall of said second shield.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A protective helmet according to claim 2 , wherein in said low position of use and/or in said high position of non-use, said second shield has a front wall arranged behind a front wall of said first shield.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A protective helmet according to claim 3 , wherein in said high position of use, said front wall of said second shield is substantially parallel to said front wall of said first shield.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
124 words
A protective helmet of the type comprising an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each said shield being pivotable with respect to the external shell between two positions, said two positions being a low active position of use and a high inactive position of non-use, said first shield being articulated with respect to said external shell around a first pivot axis, and said second shield is articulated with respect to said external shell around a second pivot axis, said transverse pivot axis of said first shield being different from said transverse pivot axis of said second shield; wherein said two shields are mounted to pivot on an internal intermediate part attached to said external shell.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
124 words
A protective helmet of the type comprising an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each said shield being pivotable with respect to the external shell between two positions, said two positions being a low active position of use and a high inactive position of non-use, said first shield being articulated with respect to said external shell around a first pivot axis, and said second shield is articulated with respect to said external shell around a second pivot axis, said transverse pivot axis of said first shield being different from said transverse pivot axis of said second shield; wherein said two shields are mounted to pivot on an internal intermediate part attached to said external shell.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
128 words
A protective helmet of the type comprising an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each said shield being pivotable with respect to the external shell between two positions, said two positions being a low active position of use and a high inactive position of non-use, said first shield being articulated with respect to said external shell around a first pivot axis, and said second shield is articulated with respect to said external shell around a second pivot axis, said transverse pivot axis of said first shield being different from said transverse pivot axis of said second shield; wherein the pivot axis of said second shield is arranged farther forward and higher than the pivot axis of said first shield.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
128 words
A protective helmet of the type comprising an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each said shield being pivotable with respect to the external shell between two positions, said two positions being a low active position of use and a high inactive position of non-use, said first shield being articulated with respect to said external shell around a first pivot axis, and said second shield is articulated with respect to said external shell around a second pivot axis, said transverse pivot axis of said first shield being different from said transverse pivot axis of said second shield; wherein the pivot axis of said second shield is arranged farther forward and higher than the pivot axis of said first shield.
