Abstract:
This invention provides a ventilation helmet comprising a liner (4) that is removeable for washing, wherein the outer edge of the shock absorbing padding layer (3) has a cutaway portion (32) adjacent to the hard outer shell layer (2), thereby providing a groove between them. The liner (4) is attached to the helmet by a lock (5) comprising a U-shaped clamping portion (52) with one branch of the clamping portion extend to form a lock portion (51), a latch (6) having cicular rod shape inserted into the lower edge of the liner (4) and to be tightly mounted into an end of lock portion (51) together with lower edge of the liner (4). According to another embodiment, the liner (4) is attached to the helmet by a lock set in the form of two elastic magnetic strips or a zipper provided in the groove.
Abstract:
A helmet is described, more specifically a helmet comprising a protective shell (10) formed of a flexible expanded polyurethane (EPU) material which defines a cavity for receiving the wearer's head, the shell being foldable, the helmet further comprising a strap (11) arrangement for fastening the shell to the wearer's head.
Abstract:
A self-closing helmet strap is contemplated to automatically strap a helmet to a user's head. The self-closing strap may be in the form of a curved strap configuration with the straps configured to curve under the user's chin upon application of the helmet. When using the self closing helmet strap system, a wearer can ensure that the helmet remains on the head in the event of a fall.
Abstract:
A helmet mounted safety device comprises right and left mandible engaging sections. Each of the mandible engaging sections comprises an adjustable airway opening member for assuring opening of the airway, and is connected, whether integrally or detachably, to a side portion within an interior of a helmet in order to facilitate engagement with the mandible of a wearer of the helmet upon demand. A helmet comprising the right and left mandible engaging sections is also taught, and further comprises in one embodiment a neck stabilizing cervical support that includes an occipital portion and two sternocleidomastoid (SCM) portions between which the occipital portion is interposed, for engaging the SCM muscle at the side of the neck.
Abstract:
In this publication is described a traditional forest helmet visor (1), plus in accordance with the invention a lightweight and ventilated plastic frame- body (3) that is connected to downparts of the visor (1) and a fabric- curtain (2) fastened into the inner circle of the framebody (3). The true function of the framebody (3) is to position a lightweight and elastic fabric-curtain (2) to an optimal location near the upper part of neck. For setting work mode the backsides of the framebody (3) can be connected either to the hearing protector structure or those can be connected together by expresshooks being in each other's endparts. Whith these solutions the fabric-curtain (2) can be positioned as aimed broadly round the circle of the upper neck. As a result the fabric-curtain (2) is properly interlaced and efficiently supplyes protection for the bare nec and face areas together with the current workwear. Due to the protection a general mobility in brushwoods is getting simpler and that equally enables a rise in working performance. The improved mobility is quite an advantage specially in clearingsaw-work, because it as a workform requires more motion just among branches. In addition the hearing protectors can be equipped with quite a familiar fabric-curtains and hangers as well. In the combimodell the backsides of the framebody (3) can be sized significantly shorter (21) accordingly and there is no purpose for any fastening elemets for work mode.
Abstract:
A helmet includes a robust outer shell and padding inside of the shell, including cheek pads (14) laterally inside the shell near a lower rim of the shell at positions corresponding to the wearer's lower jaws. Each cheek pad (14) includes a thin, flexible lining (16) and a compressible element (22) held inside the lining (16). The lining (16) defines an opening (18) that is normally closed, but that can be opened with ease by hand and the opening (18) and compressible element (22) are configured to allow the compressible element (22) to be removed from the cheek pad (14) by withdrawing the compressible element (22) through the opening (18), when opened.
Abstract:
A modular protection helmet (1; 1A) having an internal cap (2) comprising a padding layer (6) and modular components, comprising an external cap (3) which can be removably and interchangeably fixed to the internal cap (2) and adapted to provide the desired protection level for civil use, and preferably the helmet comprises a second external cap (3A), which can be equally removably and interchangeably fixed to the internal cap (2) and adapted to provide a ballistic protection level, wherein said first (3) and second (3A) external caps can be replaced at will by the user as a function of the use from time to time intended for the helmet through removable coupling means (10, 11).
Abstract:
Casco protector destinado a proteger la cabeza de un usuario, caracterizado por que comprende una estructura envolvente conformada por un componente interior (1), al menos un componente intermedio (2) y un componente base exterior (3) de configuración anular, donde estos componentes (1, 2, 3) están acoplados uno dentro del otro, tienen movimiento relativo entre ellos pasando de una posición plegada a una desplegada y viceversa, y conformando, en una posición desplegada, un hueco acorde con la parte de la cabeza del usuario que se encuentra dentro del casco.
Abstract:
A flexible head covering may be worn under a protective helmet and may include an inflatable bladder that can be partially or completely inflated in order to help remove the protective helmet from a wearer after an accident. The flexible head covering may be in the form of a balaclava or a beanie and may be configured to position the inflatable bladder at an appropriate position at or near a top of the wearer's head.
Abstract:
A helmet, adjustable longitudinally and laterally to fit a variety of head configurations, includes an outer shell having front and a rear shell parts, which are moveably joined with one another, and an adjuster. The rear outer shell and/or the front outer shell can include first and second lateral shell portions separated by a slot. The adjuster can move the first and second lateral shell portions away from one another from a narrowed mode to a widened mode to increase the lateral dimension of the helmet. Simultaneously, the adjuster can move the front and/or rear shell to increase the longitudinal dimension of the helmet as the first and second lateral shell portions move from a narrowed mode to a widened mode. A method is also provided for effecting the longitudinal and lateral adjustments of the helmet.
