A helmet airflow control member includes a plate-like main body arranged on a shell and including a main body rear surface that covers part of a shell outer surface, and at least one passage formation portion arranged on the main body rear surface. A periphery of the main body rear surface includes a first peripheral portion, which is shaped in correspondence with the shell outer surface and closes a space between the main body rear surface and the shell outer surface, and a second peripheral portion, which is spaced apart from the shell outer surface and defines an opening of the space between the main body rear surface and the shell outer surface in cooperation with the shell outer surface. The passage formation portion defines a passage in the space, with the passage extending from the opening into the space and returning from the space to the opening.

A method of attaching a jaw protector to a helmet. The method includes fastening, with a first fastening means, a jaw protector to an outside face of a brace at a first position; and fastening, with a second fastening means, an inside face of the brace to the helmet at a second position. The helmet accessory system includes a cantilevered jaw protector; a brace; and a fastening means, wherein the fastening means is configured to attach the cantilevered jaw protector to the brace at a first position; and attach the brace to a helmet at a second position.

A safety helmet and accessory system for construction worksites. The system includes a safety helmet that defines two apertures, each aperture being positioned on the helmet so that they will correspond to a user's left and right ears when the safety helmet is placed on the user's head, the safety helmet has a plurality of cord holder attachments attached within an inner circumference of the safety helmet. A pair of capsules, each capsule is secured within each aperture of the safety helmet. A cord that has two terminal ends and each terminal end has a securing device. And, a pair of earplugs that define a stem, the stem of each ear plug has a receiver that receives each securing device. The system provides a safety helmet that has an integral earplug securing system.

The present invention is a deployable segmented sport equipment for reducing the impact force on sport equipment worn by a user by using deployable panels. The invention has a body defining a recess, and a panel movable within the recess. The panel includes a panel magnetic element capable of being acted upon by a magnetic force. An electromagnet is provided producing an attractive or repulsive magnetic force on the panel magnetic element. A proximity sensing device capable of sensing an object at a distance from the deployable segmented sport equipment is provided with the body. An electronic controller unit receives signals from the proximity sensing device and controls operation of the controllable magnetic element so as to deploy or retract the panel from or into the recess. The panel being deployed prior to impact with the object, with the repulsive force being controlled to absorb the impact force after impact.

A surgical garment configured for attachment to a surgical helmet, wherein the surgical garment defines a barrier between the wearer and the environment. The surgical helmet includes a peripheral device, a chin bar, and a coupling member. The coupling member may be recessed within the chin bar. The surgical garment may comprise an attachment element configured to removably couple with the coupling member of the surgical helmet. The coupling member and attachment member may comprise reciprocal features, such as a protrusion and a recess. The protrusion and/or corresponding recess may comprise a curved or similarly shaped surface configured to resist decoupling of the attachment member and the coupling member when a force is applied to the surgical garment.

A helmet includes a helmet body, and a sweat-collecting strap extending between opposed ends along an interior of the helmet body. The sweat-collecting strap has a gutter between the opposed ends thereof. Each end of the sweat-collecting strap is mounted along one of the side portions of the helmet body. The sweat-collecting strap is displaceable with respect to the helmet body to bias the gutter against a forehead of the wearer above the eyes.
