According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the shell consists of a front shell element and a rear shell element which can be folded down with this via a hinge arrangement and can be locked by means of a locking arrangement.

The hinge arrangement can be arranged laterally, but an embodiment is preferred in which the Hinge assembly disposed on the upper portions of the upwardly facing edges of the shell members is.

A buckle, as used for example in ski boots, can be used for the locking arrangement. can be used, with the preferred arrangement of the hinge assembly being provided with such a tensioning buckle on each side of the helmet.

In order to reliably exclude a shift of the two shell elements, those facing each other are Edges of the shell elements with a profile that is complementary to one another (e.g. a tongue and groove design) Mistake.

The front shell element can with an inside

Side view.

The integral protective helmet consists of a front shell element 10 and a rear shell element 16. The rear shell element 16 can be folded up via a hinge arrangement 12 which connects the two shells 10, 16 and is arranged on the roof of the protective helmet. When the rear shell element 16 is folded down, it is firmly connected to one another by means of tensioning buckles 14, one of which is arranged on each of the two sides of the helmet and which correspond to the locking buckles on ski boots.

To put on the helmet, the rear shell element 16 is folded down a little and the head is inserted into the front shell element 10, the chin resting on a chin guard 18 that is pulled inward. After the rear shell element has been folded down around the hinge arrangement 12, the tensioning buckles 14 are pulled shut, as a result of which the rear shell element 16 is firmly connected to the front shell element 10. The provision of a profiling - not shown - of the edge surfaces of the two shell elements 10, 16 prevents the two shell elements from being displaced relative to one another .

The proposed integral safety helmet can also be easily put on and taken off by spectacle wearers. advantage

What is also liable is that a chin guard section 18, which is drawn inwards and covers the chin area downwards can be provided *
