    摘要: A helmet features a sound management mechanism within a hard exterior shell and an interior of expanded polystyrene foam. Ear cups embedded within the shell surround the ears, with a torus-shaped soft material forming a seal against the wearer's head. The helmet allows the transition of ear cups between engaged and disengaged positions. The engaged position is against the head. The disengaged position is away from the head, allowing easy placement and removing of the helmet. Positions may be transitioned using one hand. The helmet may include lateral adjustment of ear cups, and some versions incorporate electronic audio features like noise cancellation, communication capabilities, and wireless connectivity.

    摘要: An illuminating headwear device and kit are shown and described. The illuminating headwear device and kit includes a headwear device. The headwear device is configured to removably secure about the head of an individual. The headwear devices also include a power source. The power source is coupled to at least one light. The at least one light is secured to the headwear device such that the light is pointed in a direction which will, at least partially, illuminate the individual's shoulders, torso, and back when the headwear device is worn. In one instance an on/off switch will allow for the at least one light be turned on and off. The kit further includes an illumination garment. The illumination garment will glow when the beam from the at least one light hits it.

    摘要: A helmet mount apparatus includes a reclining mount assembly having transversely spaced apart pivot arms. An upper end of each pivot arm is attached to a mount base member and configured for pivoting movement about a first transverse pivot axis. A lower end of each pivot arm is attached to a viewing device and configured for pivoting movement about a second transverse pivot axis. The pivot arms are pivotable about the first transverse pivot axis between a viewing position in front of an eye of a user and a stowed position above the helmet. The pivot arms are pivotable about the second transverse pivot axis to adjust a viewing angle of the viewing device or reduce a profile of the viewing device when the pivot arms are in the viewing position or stowed position, respectively.

    摘要: A protective sports helmet that includes a chin strap system that allows for rapid, one-handed adjustment of a chin strap assembly by the player while he/she is wearing the helmet is provided. The chin strap assembly includes a protective chin cup and a pair of straps extending from opposed sides of the chin cup and having a plurality of securing elements. The assembly also includes a pair of adjustable connectors affixed to the helmet and that include a central opening that receives an extent of the strap and a lever that engages a portion of the securing elements. The adjustable connector allows movement of the strap in a first direction, and prevents movement of the strap in a second direction when the lever is engaged with at least one of the securing elements. The adjustable connector allows movement of the strap in both the first and second directions when the lever is not engaged with the securing elements.

    摘要: An adjustable helmet includes a first shell, a second shell, and a size adjustment mechanism. The first shell includes a first side portion and a second side portion. The second shell is positioned between the first side portion and the second side portion. The first side portion and the second side portion of the first shell (a) at least partially overlap the second shell and (b) are laterally flexible with respect to one another to facilitate adjusting a size of the first shell between a minimum size and a maximum size. The size adjustment mechanism includes a tensioner extending between the first side portion and the second side portion. The size adjustment mechanism facilitates ratchet-less and infinite adjustment of the size of the first shell between the minimum size and the maximum size without requiring user manipulation of the size adjustment mechanism.
