Abstract:
A head and neck covering is cut from a flat sheet of foam material to form a body portion of the head and neck covering. The foam material has a first surface cut to form an eye region, mouth region and neck region. The foam material has a second surface opposite the first surface which is continuous other than an opening for intubation. The foam material is compliant so that the body portion conforms to contours of the head and neck of the anesthetized patient. A closure mechanism is attached to the body portion for securing the head and neck covering around the anesthetized patient. The foam material reduces a potential for trauma to the head and neck of the anesthetized patient. A plurality of channels is formed in the foam material. Warm fluid is circulated through the channels to reduce heat loss for the patient.
Abstract:
Un casque de protection comporte une calotte de protection (5) destinée à coiffer la tête de l'utilisateur, composée d'un calotin d'amortissement (6) et d'au moins une coque externe (7) fixée sur au moins une partie de la face extérieure du calotin (6). La calotte (5) présente une portion avant (8), une portion arrière (9) limitée vers le bas par une bordure inférieure (10), deux portions latérales (11a, 11b) opposées et une portion sommitale (12). La calotte de protection (5) comporte au moins une entaille (14, 15) s'étendant depuis la portion avant (8) ou depuis l'une des portions latérales (11a, 11b), et débouchant sur ladite bordure inférieure (10) ou sur une échancrure (13) pratiquée dans la portion arrière (9) et ouverte sur ladite bordure inférieure (10). L'entaille (14, 15) délimite de part et d'autre deux ailettes flexibles (16) ayant chacune une extrémité libre du côté de la portion arrière (9). Le casque comprend un élément de réglage du serrage de la calotte (5) solidaire des extrémités libres des ailettes (16), et dont l'actionnement permet d'ajuster la distance séparant lesdites extrémités libres par flexion des ailettes (16).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a crash helmet having a rigid or semi-rigid outer helmet cap, comprising two movable elements, one for each side, extending so as to complete a bottom edge of the helmet, for protecting the helmet regions substantially affecting a user ears, said movable elements being integral with said helmet cap and coupled to said cap by coupling means allowing said cap to be rotated and outward opened to free the user ear, while allowing the helmet to be put on and removed without folding or rubbing the user ear pavilions, or, without applying, for damaged users, an undesired stress to the spine of the users.
Abstract:
Described herein are various protective helmets, including helmets designed for equestrian use. In one embodiment, an equestrian helmet (1) includes a front shell (2) and a rear shell (3). Shell (3) is moveable with respect to shell (1) to provide the helmet with two configurations. The first of these is an open configuration where the helmet is configured for receiving within the helmet or removing from the helmet a human head (4). The second configuration is a closed where shell (3) is releasably lockingly engaged to shell (2) for securely containing head (4) within helmet (1).
Abstract:
An infant protective head covering comprising ear components (2), lateral components (12) adapted to extend from the rear of the infant head above said ear components and across the upper forehead, a forehead component (8) adapted to extend between each ear component across the infant forehead, and an upper component (16) adapted to extend from said forehead component to the rear of the infant head between said lateral components. Each of said components is formed from sheet material which is both flexible and extensible, and said components are connected to each other with flexible and extensible connection means between the components.
Abstract:
Schutzhelm mit einer Helmschale (3), die beim Gebrauch den Kopf des Trägers mit Ausnahme des Gesichtsbereiches zumindest teilweise umgibt, einem Kinnbügel (1), der beim Gebrauch die unteren Teile des Gesichtsbereiches des Trägers umspannt, sowie einem vorzugsweise schwenkbar an der Helmschale (3) angeordneten Visier (4) zum Abdecken der Gesichtsfeldöffnung zwischen Helmschale (3) und Kinnbügel (1), wobei der Kinnbügel (1) zwei relativ zueinander bewegbare Abschnitte (1a,1b) aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass jeder der beiden Kinnbügelabschnitte (1a,1b) an der Helmschale (3) schwenkbar angeordnet ist, und die schwenkbare Anordnung der Kinnbügelabschnitte (1a,1b) an der Helmschale (3) jeweils mithilfe eines flexiblen Plattenelements (2) erfolgt, das die Helmschale (3) mit dem jeweiligen Kinnbügelabschnitt (1a,1b) verbindet.
Abstract:
An article of protective headwear apparel formed from a flexible panel. The panel includes a periphery having at least one recess in a part of the periphery of the flexible panel. The first recess is defined by first and second tab members which terminate at either end in free end extremities and a bridging member which joins the tab members. The headwear panel includes a tab member having a free end extremity and which is connected to the bridging member and which together with the first and second tab members define respective second and third recesses, wherein the recesses allow folding of each said tabs such that a free end of each the tabs engage at least one said tabs to form the headwear.
Abstract:
A hockey helmet comprising a front helmet portion and a rear helmet portion disposed to be moveable relative to each other so as to define an internal cavity of varying volume, a securing member being mounted to a location on the first helmet portion adjacent the temple thereof, the securing member being slidable between a first or open position and a second or closed position, the rear helmet portion having a restraint configured and disposed to be complimentary to the securing member such that when the securing member cooperatively engages the restraint, the relative displacement of the front helmet portion and the second helmet portion is inhibited. The restraint comprises a number of positions in which the securing member can be cooperatively engaged such that the volume of the helmet may be modified.
Abstract:
A comfortable, self-adjusting, protective helmet (10) made from a process of insert molding. The helmet comprises an armature or insert (16) made of a porous material that is embedded in the layers of the helmet to connect the structural parts (12, 14) of the helmet to one another. The armature (16) as used in the helmet also serves several other functions which include hinging and sizing. A retention system (36) is strategically located on the helmet to provide increased stabilization of the helmet on the wearer's head. One embodiment of this invention is an insert-molded helmet that can be converted into a pouch (60). A further embodiment of this invention includes a protrusion (72) at the back of a helmet suitable for a compartment (74).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an adjustable helmet (20) comprising a first and second shell (22, 24) portion (22, 24) adjustably connected together. Each shell (22, 24) features a smooth interference-free sliding surface on which the two shells (22, 24) fit together in an overlapping relationship. The two shells (22, 24) are locked together by a manually operable locking device (26) adapted to engage corresponding anchoring holes (52, 54). The smooth interference-free sliding surfaces allows easy adjustment of the helmet size.
