A headgear includes a pair of noise reduction components. Each noise reduction component is configured to fit over and/or at least partially inside respective ears of a user of the headgear. The pair of noise reduction components are coupled to a first strap. The first strap is configured to retain the pair of noise-reduction components in contact with the ears of the user. Each noise reduction component of the pair of noise reduction components includes a laminated structure that includes at least one sound-reflecting layer, and at least one sound-absorbing layer that is arranged to be closer to the ear of the user than the at least one sound-reflecting layer.

A helmet having a shell configured to fit about a head of a wearer of the helmet. The shell includes a top portion that defines a front edge and a bottom portion adjoining the top portion. The bottom portion defines a first side edge integral with a first end of the front edge and a second side edge integral with a second end of the front edge. The front edge, first side edge, and second side edge define a segment of a circumference of the shell. The helmet includes a faceguard comprising a faceguard assembly formed in a substantially closed loop. A top portion of the faceguard assembly overlies the top portion of the shell and substantially overlies and coincides with an entire shape of the front edge. At least a segment of a top portion of the faceguard assembly makes direct contact with the top portion of the shell.

A portion of a mask or helmet covering a user's ear has an aperture covered by a sound-collecting and sound-transmissive protector swivelingly mounted thereon. The protector has a substantially parabolic reflector surface oriented substantially perpendicular to the protector's axis of rotation which magnifies sounds arriving from a particular angular direction and directs the sound through a plurality of holes axially penetrating through the protector from an outer to an inner surface. A user manipulable actuator nib extends axially outwardly from a peripheral portion of the outer surface of the protector allowing user control of swiveling movement.

A permeable aerodam 10 is fastened to a front helmet strap 16 of a bicycle rider's helmet 18. The aerodam includes a shaped fiber filter 32 which is mounted on a base 36 and is designed to impede, but not arrest the motion of air flowing through it. The aerodam also includes a matrix 52 which includes the base and which shapes, supports, and locates the filter next to the temple area. A headwind experienced by the rider flows around the side of the head and partially through the aerodam such that an impedance gradient caused by the shaped filter will cause a quiet retrolaminar flow velocity profile 92 alonside the rider's ear canal. The effect eliminates the onset of noisy turbulence heard by the rider while allowing unobstructed ambient sounds and ventilation to be enjoyed.

A football helmet has a shell with a top portion having a raised central channel at least at one of a front area and a top area of the top portion of the shell, with a plurality of elongated vent openings on each side of the channel, the vent openings being spaced from each other on each side of the channel, from front to back, along the helmet shell, the sides of the helmet having earholes and sloped banks abutting the earholes in a wedge configuration.

Air-deflection attachment for an item of protective gear worn on the head of a wearer. The attachment includes a deflector portion of unitary substantially air-impermeable flexible construction for location alongside the face and forwardly from an ear of the wearer, and an attachment portion attached to the deflector portion for releasably attaching the attachment to the item of protective gear. The deflector portion is generally in the form of a vertically elongated aerofoil, for deflecting flow of air past the head of the wearer arising from movement of the wearer in a direction in which the wearer is facing, away from the wearer's outer ear canal opening.

A wind dampening device for dampening the wind around the ear associated with traveling at high velocities. The wind dampening device includes a panel. The panel has a top edge, a front edge, a back edge, a facing side and a rear side. The panel generally has a triangular shape. The top and front edges are orientated generally perpendicular to each other. The rear side of the proximal portion is concave. A fastening means fastens the panel to the article.
摘要:
A motorcycle helmet having a modified exterior configuration to attenuate noise generated when passing through the air. The modified helmet begins flaring outwardly from the traditional helmet configuration at a point adjacent to the chin of the wearer, terminates at a location generally behind the ear of the wearer and is spaced from the exterior shell of the helmet at the central portion of the rearward edge. The trailing edge of the sound attentuating device is open so that the wearer retains the ability to hear noises from behind and beside him.

A helmet is provided including a tab portion in which there are two hearing openings or ear holes. These ear holes are surrounded at least in part by an inclined surface which is located on the exterior of the helmet. The inclined surfaces are each of conical form. According to one embodiment, the inclined surfaces completely encircle the associated ear holes. According to another embodiment of the invention, the inclined surfaces merely extend forwardly and rearwardly of the ear holes. Each side of the helmet may be provided with a plurality of ear holes and related surfaces. Each ear hole is covered internally with a thin porous film, which is covered by a fabric.
