A surgical apparel system including a surgical helmet to which a garment may mounted. The surgical helmet includes an electrically powered peripheral device, such as a ventilation assembly, and a headband for removably securing the surgical helmet to the head of a wearer. The headband comprises a rear a portion including opposing ends defining a contact point configured to contact the head of the wearer. The rear portion may also comprise a support member disposed between the opposing ends. The support member may be offset distally from the contact points such that the support member defines a void between the head of the wearer and the headband to allow the hair to collect between the head of the wearer and the support member.

The present invention is a helmet system that reduces concussions by damping rotational force transmitted to a helmet user. The helmet has an exterior shell and an internal body that moves independently from the exterior shell. At least one magnetic source on the exterior shell's interior has a dipole directed axially at the internal body. At least one magnetic source on the internal body has a dipole aligned with the same axis, directed at the exterior shell. In a resting state magnetic sources generate a weak magnetic field. When an impact rotates the exterior shell, it moves off the initial alignment and closer to the internal body. The previously aligned magnetic sources torque. The magnetic source on the internal body torques in the opposite direction of the rotation, as do all initially aligned magnetic sources impacted. Angular momentum is displaced, diffused, offset, damping rotational force transmitted to a helmet user.

Implementations of a ballistic helmet having an integrated electronic circuit are provided. An example ballistic helmet includes: a first armor plate attached by a hinge to a first side of the ballistic helmet, the first amor plate is configured and positioned to provide ballistic protection; a second armor plate attached by a hinge to a second side of the ballistic helmet, the second armor plate is configured and positioned to provide ballistic protection; and an integrated electronic circuit configured to operate and power electronic devices conductively coupled thereto.

A helmet accessory mount system may include a shroud configured to be coupled to a helmet and an arm assembly having a first arm configured to rotatably couple to the shroud. The system may also include an accessory interface configured to coupled to an accessory and configured to engage the arm assembly. The arm assembly may be configured to move from a deployed position to at least one storage position. The accessory may be configured to be positioned between the accessory interface and the helmet when the arm assembly is in the at least one storage position.

The invention relates to a head mounted image capture device (1) for capturing facial motion of a user. The device (1) includes a helmet (2) with side portions (5), each for resting on the sides of a user's head. Each side portion (5) includes an arm (6) to which a respective camera (7) is mounted. Each camera (7) is positioned laterally of a user's face for capturing image data relating to a respective side of the user's face.

An airflow device configured for creating an air barrier includes a fan, a power source, a laminar assembly, and an attachment mechanism. The power source is coupled to the fan. The laminar assembly includes a plurality of tubes and is coupled to the fan so that air flow generated by the fan passes through the plurality of tubes to create the air barrier. The attachment mechanism attaches the laminar assembly to a user in a location near the user's head such that the air barrier created by the laminar assembly is positioned in front of the user's face. A plenum is positioned between the fan and the laminar assembly such that the air flow generated by the fan passes through the plenum and then through the laminar assembly. The airflow device acts as a face shield that protects the user from airborne contaminants and viruses.
