Disclosed is an integrated wireless head protection garment and harness, to a head protection garment and harness with an integrated wireless communication device including a head garment for wearing by a wearer, a harness attached to the head garment, and a wireless communication device attached to the harness. The wireless communication device includes a casing that houses a micro-processing unit and a wireless module along with a depressible button. Depression of the depressible button by the wearer initiates communication of sensor data including at least an event signal to another device by means of the micro-processing unit and the wireless module over a wireless communication network. The micro-processing unit and the wireless module facilitate 2-way communication with the wearer of the wireless communication device.

A head protection system includes a safety helmet and a fire protection cloth. The safety helmet includes a helmet shell (105) and a holding device (108) to guarantee a distance (A) between a helmet shell inner side (106) and the user head (102). An air path (110) is formed by a plurality of openings (120) of a fastening ring (125)and the distance between the inner side of the helmet shell and the head of the user. The fastening ring is arranged at least in an area of the user forehead of the user. The fire protection cloth has a fastening strap (230) with rigid fastening elements (235) configured to mesh with an opening of the fastening ring to detachably fasten the fire protection cloth to the safety helmet. The rigid fastening elements fill the plurality of openings in the fastened state to close the air path.

A headborne attachment platform includes multiple rigid plates and straps of connecting material connecting the rigid plates in an assembly at independently selectable and pre-set distances apart from each other. The assembly of rigid plates is shaped and connected to sit adjacent to, and surround, the bone regions of a wearer's skull, and define an overall headgear shape and contour. The straps are more flexible than the rigid plates in directions perpendicular to the thickness of the straps, and the straps are inelastic in a direction of a length thereof. A tightening mechanism is configured to adjust a circumference of a headband region, and the rigid plates have mounting features configured to mount an outer helmet shell and/or a headborne device. The rigid plates are sufficiently rigid to support and maintain their three-dimensional shape when subjected to forces exerted upon them by the outer helmet shell or headborne device.

A cowboy hat with interior head protection includes a hat, a helmet shell attached to the interior of the hat, and a ratchet adjustment assembly coupled to the helmet shell, wherein the helmet shell is substantially concealed within the interior of the hat.

A helmet may include an upper-body comprising a first outer shell coupled to a first energy-absorbing shell formed of expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyurethane (EPU), or expanded polyolefin (EPO). A lower-body may include a second outer shell coupled to a second energy-absorbing shell formed of EPP, EPS, EPU, or EPO, wherein an upper portion of the lower-body is nested within the upper-body and a lower portion of the lower-body extends to an outer surface of a lower portion of the upper-body. A strap anchor may be disposed between the upper-body and the lower-body, and be sandwiched between the upper-body and the lower-body with the strap anchor being adjacent to, and oriented towards, the lower-body. A strap may be coupled to the fastening device and coupled to the strap anchor for coupling the helmet to a head of a user.

The present technology relates generally to protective helmets with non-linearly deforming members. Helmets configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can comprise, for example, an inner layer, an outer layer, a space between the inner layer and the outer layer, and an interface layer disposed in the space. The interface layer comprises a plurality of filaments, each having a height, a longitudinal axis along the height, a first end proximal to the inner layer, and a second end proximal to the outer layer. The filaments are sized and shaped to span the space between the inner layer and the outer layer. The filaments are configured to deform non-linearly in response to an external incident force on the helmet.

A securing system for a helmet has a forehead band having two guiding installations and two neck band portions having in each case one counter guiding installation that corresponds to one of the two guiding installations of the forehead band. Each of the counter-guiding installations for repositioning the respective neck band portion in relation to the forehead band is disposed so as to be displaceable on the corresponding guiding installation.

A helmet system includes: a helmet shell; right and left bottom guards; a head strap comprising a head band and a plurality of flexible tethers, including a main tether stem and a tether connector, including a connector stem and a connector blocking member, such that the flexible tethers protrude from an outer periphery of the head band and are connected to tether apertures in the helmet shell. The head band can optionally include an opening with a band lock, and right and left upward curved sections. The helmet system can optionally include shoulder pads.

A helmet for work or sports including a structure having a substantially convex outer surface and a substantially concave inner surface; a protective body having a first portion engageable to the inner surface and a second portion having at least one concavity adapted to receive in engagement the head of a user. The helmet includes a coupling mechanism operatively interposed between the structure and the protective body to ensure a removable engagement of the latter to the structure. The coupling mechanism includes a coupling seat; a coupling element engaging the coupling seat so that the protective body can be positioned according to at least two different positions with respect to the structure of the helmet.
