Embodiments are directed to a helmet. The helmet preferably includes a shell, a suspension, and a connector. The suspension preferably includes a crown strap. The connector preferably couples to the shell and the crown strap. The connector preferably has a shock absorber operatively disposed between the shell and the crown strap to absorb at least a portion of a force of impact delivered to the shell.

A suspension unit is provided which is removably coupleable to a helmet shell to enhance user safety and helmet functionality. The suspension unit includes: a suspension assembly configured to interface with a suspension attachment scheme of the helmet shell; one or more sensors carried by the suspension assembly and arranged to obtain biometric, environmental, location, motion, impact and/or other data; and a control system carried by the suspension assembly, the control system including at least a power source and a communication module, and being operatively coupled to the one or more sensors to obtain the biometric, environmental, location, motion, impact and/or other data and to transmit, via the communication module, a data signal to a computing device or network based at least in part on said data from which to enhance user safety and helmet functionality.

A headgear, for use with a mask and or shield, which includes a strong but flexible headband to engage back of wearer's head and extend on either side behind ears and assuming a semi-circular shape. Headband splits into two parts on both sides of the head, where the inner parts rest on both ears and applies compression to the head to help hold headgear in place, and the outer parts function to attach to and support the shield and mask assemblies, which attaches to and manipulates a shield, and or a mask, positioning them in a fully protective configuration covering the nose, mouth and or face, or relaxed configuration exposing the nose mouth and or face, where positioning of the shield and mask is controlled by the rotation of circular knobs and so allows the shield and mask to be manipulated without physically touching them.

A surgical helmet assembly (30) to be worn by a user during surgical operations. The surgical helmet assembly includes a frame assembly (40) having a helmet shell (42) to be worn over the user's head. A fan (44) is coupled to the helmet shell to circulate air around the helmet shell. A headband assembly (78) is coupled to the helmet shell to secure the surgical helmet assembly to the head of the user. The surgical helmet assembly further includes an adjustment assembly (100) to adjust a sagittal fit of the helmet shell and the headband assembly to the head of the user while keeping a center of mass of the frame assembly in close proximity to the head of the user. The surgical helmet assembly further includes another adjustment assembly (118) concentric to the first adjustment assembly to adjust a circumferential fit of the headband assembly to the head of the user.

A comfortable construction helmet easy to assembly and adjust is revealed. The construction helmet includes a support frame mounted therein and a head cushion fixed on the support frame for allowing a user's forehead to abut against. Left and right straps are extended from two sides of the support frame while an adjustment assembly is disposed between the left and right straps for adjusting the length of the straps. The adjustment assembly includes a base, a rotating member mounted in the base, an outer cap, and a toothed disc arranged over the rotating member and positioned in the outer cap. Two connecting strip are extended from two sides of the rotating, member and connected to the left and right straps respectively. The toothed disc which is driven by the outer cap further drives the rotating member to rotate for changing the length of the connecting strips.
