ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is protective headgear for an aviator. The headgear includes a helmet adapted to be worn by the aviator, a visor and a mechanism for mounting the visor to the helmet. The mounting mechanism is defined by a pair of gear train assemblies, one of which is mounted to each side of the helmet adjacent to a helmet front opening. Each gear train assembly includes multiple gears that allow the visor to be manually moved between a deployed position wherein the visor covers a portion of the helmet front opening to protect the aviator's face and eyes, and a stowed position wherein the visor is completely clear of the helmet front opening so as to not obstruct the forward view of the aviator.
