A hard hat with symmetric front and back mounting ridges to support a headlamp is described. The hard hat provides mounting ridges to receive insertion slots of a rigid mounting bracket that fit around the ridges. The rigid mounting bracket includes channels to loop a strap through the channels and support a lamp on the bracket. The strap may include a hook and loop fastener system to enable attachment of a variety of lamps to the rigid support bracket. In this way, the hard hat can support a wide variety of headlamps attached to the rigid mounting bracket without destructive alterations to the hard hat. Clips may be added to the rigid mounting bracket to secure or lock the bracket in place during operation and prevent accidental knocks or jarring of the headlamp.

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.

Disclosed are an anti-off device and a protective hat having the anti-off device. The protective hat includes a hat body, protective goggles, a binding strap and an anti-off device. The hat body has a slot; the protective goggles and the binding strap are bundled altogether with the hat body; the anti-off device includes an anti-off body and snap arm. The anti-off body has a passage; a snap arm integrally coupled to the anti-off body, and the snap arm is inserted into the slot and the snap body is detachably engaged with the hat body, and the binding strap is disposed in the passage, such that when the protective goggles are moved upward or downward, the binding strap is still limited by passage to achieve the anti-off effect.

An articulated brim mount for a helmet light that mounts on the brim of a hat or worker's helmet enables pivoting of the helmet light through angles of up to 210 degrees in a vertical plane and at least 360 degrees in a horizontal plane. The pivots are configured to provide controlled friction so that the angles of the light can be adjusted by hand without tools while retaining the position set by the user.

An apparatus has a monocular optic for viewing from either a right eye or a left eye of a viewer. A bilateral connecting arm extends between the monocular optic and a coupling on a head-worn article worn by the viewer. The bilateral connecting arm is configured for repeatably decoupling from, and recoupling to, the head-worn article for switching between a first orientation that disposes the monocular optic in a left eye viewing position and a second orientation that disposes the monocular optic in a right eye viewing position.

A brake lever switch assembly for a vehicle is provided. The brake lever switch assembly includes a brake lever physically linked to a brake lever switch; and the brake lever switch physically connected to a transmitter configured to propagate a wireless signal based on a state of the brake lever determined between the brake lever switch and the wireless signal.

For improved visibility of an individual wearing a helmet to which a personal headlamp is attached by an adjustable band, a flexible strip carrying a series of light-emitting devices and/or reflectors is removably attached to the adjustable band by means of connectors which are adjustably movable along at least a portion of the length of the band. The light-emitting devices are supplied with power from the same electrochemical power source that operates the headlamp but controlled independently of the headlamp.

A hard hat attachment system is described with front, back, and side mounts to support various accessories. Mounts of hard hat receive slots of a bracket that fit around the ridges. Auxiliary ridges receive clips within ports. The user customizes the hard hat for the particular task with the preferred accessories used to complete the job. For example, lamps, face-shields, reflectors, tool carriers, and eyeglass holders are interchangeably releasably coupled to mounting and/or auxiliary ridges on the hard hat. In this way, the hard hat is customized and/or modified to support a wide variety of accessories that are securely and releasably attached to mounting and/or auxiliary ridges without destructive alterations to the hard hat. Brackets couple to mounts and clips couple to ports to secure and/or lock various accessories in place during operation and prevent accidental knocks or jarring the accessory loose.
