Abstract
The mounting for a visor of a helmet comprises an arcuate track located at the side of the rigid headshell and centered on the visor axis, a shoe connected with the visor and movable along the track, a control element for moving the shoe and hence the visor and means for clamping the shoe to the track. Initial movement of the control element relative to the shoe serves to release the clamping means which may comprise rollers wedging between inclined surfaces of the shoe and the opposing track surface. The visor can be replaced by other helmet borne equipment.
