Under poor lighting conditions, it is difficult to distinguish whether multiple lights are attached to the same object or multiple objects, particularly when they are flashing. In some circumstances, lights flashing at different frequencies and/or with different periods may be presumed by other road users to be associated with different objects, thereby diminishing the value of multiple individual lights on a bicycle. Synchronized safety lighting enables a cyclist to synchronize multiple individual lights so that they may flash in unison with the same repeating pattern. This provides a stronger visual impression of a cyclist and their bicycle to other road users by visually tying the cyclist's lights together.

A protective apparel system for use with a surgical helmet having a headlamp and including a protective apparel apparatus comprising a surgical garment, wherein the garment defines a sterile barrier between the wearer and the environment. The system includes a lens assembly adjacent to the surgical garment on the environment side and configured to cooperate with a coupling member for use with the headlamp. The lens assembly may include a control member and a lens, wherein the control member is be manipulatable by a wearer. The control member may be configured wherein manipulation by the wearer may reposition the lens of the lens assembly to adjust the direction and/or intensity of the light from the headlamp without breaching the sterile barrier.

The present disclosure relates to the field of riding equipment, and particularly to a headband and a multifunctional helmet. The headband comprises a strap configured to bind a head, an adjustment assembly that adjusts the tightness of the strap, and an electronic device that endows the headband with intelligent properties. The strap is connected to the adjustment assembly, and the electronic device is disposed within the adjustment assembly and connected to the adjustment assembly. The headband is an accessory of the helmet, electronic devices are combined with the headband such that the headband has electronic functions associated therewith, expanding the use range of the headband.

A head unit system (24) for a head (22) of a user (20), including a headpiece (26) for being worn over the head (22) with a support structure (28) shaped to be worn over the head (22). A shield mount (30) attached to the support structure (28) is arranged for supporting a face shield (32) adjacent to the head (22). A headpiece connector (34) is attached to the support structure (28) and has a headpiece contact (36) configured for electrical connection. First and second peripheral devices are provided for being secured to the headpiece (26) for concurrent movement, and each respectively has a device connector (40) with a device contact (42) configured for electrical connection. The device connectors (40) and the headpiece connector (34) cooperate to releasably attach one of the respective peripheral devices to the headpiece (26) in a secured configuration (44) with the respective headpiece contact (36) and the device contact (42) abutting in the secured configuration (44) so as to facilitate electrical connection between the headpiece (26) and the secured peripheral device.

A helmet including fit system straps with illuminable strips on them or woven into them and one or more light sources positioned adjacent the tops of the fit system straps on the helmet body to emit light toward the illuminable strips. The light sources may be connected directly to the illuminable strips to emit light into an end of the illuminable strips. The light sources may emit light from or near a lower surface of the helmet body toward the illuminable strips.

An Illuminating device for sports helmet eye shield includes a housing, an eye shield attachment, a light-emitting diode (LED) strip, a chipset, a rechargeable battery, and a plurality of control buttons. The housing includes a lateral wall, a rear plate, and a front opening. The lateral wall is perimetrically connected around the rear plate. The front opening is delineated within the lateral wall. The eye shield attachment is connected onto an outer plate of the lateral wall. The LED strip is perimetrically connected to the lateral wall through the front opening. The chipset and the rechargeable battery are internally mounted to the housing. The control buttons are externally connected to an inner plate of the lateral wall. The LED strip, the control buttons, and the chipset are electrically connected to the rechargeable battery. The LED strip and the control buttons are electronically connected to the chipset.

A device for indicating appropriate social distancing includes the ability to project light (in various forms and in a various ways) onto the ground in a manner visible by the user and those around them. A boundary of the projected light can be set to an acceptable social distance and can include different colors to indicated varying social distances for varying levels of trusted individuals. Proximity sensors set to appropriate distancing requirements, along with the varying levels of trust can be implemented into multiple devices being used in a group setting.

A light-emitting system is provided which is removably attachable to headgear for personal illumination to enhance visibility of the user to others. The light-emitting system includes a housing that defines a receiving aperture and is configured to surround a portion of the headgear when the light-emitting system is removably attached to the headgear for use. The light-emitting system further includes at least one lens and a plurality of lighting elements coupled to the annular housing which are configured to selectively generate a halo or at least a partial halo of light that radiates outwardly away from the annular housing through the at least one lens to provide enhanced personal illumination.

A protective helmet, particularly a motorbike protective helmet, comprising an outer shell (1) for the distribution of impact forces, the outer shell (1) comprising a chin shell region (2) for covering a chin part of the person wearing the protective helmet, wherein the outer shell (1) comprises a viewing opening (3) arranged above the chin shell region (2), for the person wearing the protective helmet to see through, and the protective helmet has a slot (4a) with a slot shape for interlockingly receiving an electronic module (5a) corresponding to the slot shape, said slot (4a) comprising a slot opening substantially bordering an edge of the viewing opening (3). The protective helmet comprises another slot (4b) having another slot opening substantially bordering the edge of the viewing opening (3) and having the slot shape for interlockingly receiving another electronic module (5b) corresponding to the slot shape.

An adaptive lighting system for even illumination is provided. In an embodiment, multiple lamps illuminate light in different areas or zones of the surroundings. These lamps modulate their light output in a known (but imperceptible) pattern. One or more light detectors detects light from the surroundings. Light sourced from each lamp is disambiguated and one or more light time-of-flight delays are calculated for each lamp-light detector pair. Based on these calculated delays, illumination levels of the lights are adjusted so as to produce even illumination.
