Dans un casque de protection ou une casquette, il s'agit d'un système d'ajustement du tour de tête par courroies de plastiques, l'une percée de trous, l'autre munie de petits ardillons ou ergots (petites pointes faisant saillie), ces petits ardillons venant s'insérer dans les trous pour assurer le maintien en position du casque sur la tête. Termes proposés sur le modèle des expressions «tour de tête à crémaillère», «tour de tête ajustable par crémaillère» et de «tour de tête réglable par sanglon, par boucle», qui sont attestées dans divers sites Internet. Nous avons aussi pensé à «tour de tête à ardillons», mais on ne trouve les ardillons que dans les boucles (voir justification ci-après). 2, record 7, French, - tour%20de%20t%C3%AAte%20%C3%A0%20stries
