The invention relates to a protective helmet with an outer shell (1) for distributing impact forces, an interior layer (2) accommodated by the outer shell (1) for attenuating impact forces, and a slot (3) for accommodating an electrical device (4), wherein the outer shell (1) has a chin shell area (6) to cover a chin portion of a protective helmet wearer, wherein the outer shell (1) forms a viewing port (8) for the protective helmet wearer to look through. The protective helmet is characterized in that the slot (3) is arranged on the chin shell area (6) in such a way that the accommodated electrical device (4) is arranged between the chin shell area (6) and the interior layer (2), wherein the protective helmet has an interior cover (10) for essentially completely covering the accommodated electrical device (4) in the direction of the viewing port (8).

A helmet assembly having a helmet, a mandible guard, and an accessory attachment system that is used to selectively attach and secure the mandible guard to the helmet is disclosed. In some embodiments, the mandible guard is arranged to be detached from a first side of the helmet while remaining secured to a second side of the helmet. In such embodiments, the mandible guard may be moved outwardly and away from a wearer as the mandible guard pivots around the accessory attachment system attached to the second side of the helmet.

A cover includes a receiver having a concave-shaped inner surface and a flap including a first side coupled to the receiver and a second side including a fastener. The flap may be movable relative to the receiver from an open position to a closed position. The fastener may be configured to be coupled to the receiver when the flap is in the closed position.

A helmet assembly may include a helmet and an integrated chinbar. The chinbar may include an attachment portion and the helmet may include a docking frame. Coupling together of the attachment portion to the docking frame may couple the chinbar to the helmet. The attachment portion may then be secured to docking frame to secure the chinbar to the helmet. In certain embodiments, the attachment portion may be coupled to the docking frame of an interior side of the liner. Thus, the attachment portion may accordingly be disposed on the side of the liner closer to a wearer's face.

Systems and methods of a safety helmet for protecting the human head against repetitive impacts, moderate impacts and severe impacts so as to significantly reduce the likelihood of both translational and rotational brain injury and concussions can be provided. The helmet can include an outer shell, an omnidirectional liner disposed within and coupled to the outer shell and configured to move relative to the outer shell, and a chinstrap coupled to the omnidirectional liner. The chinstrap coupled to the omnidirectional liner can hold a wearer's head to the omnidirectional liner and prevent the chinstrap from applying forces to the wearer while omnidirectional liner moves relative to outer shell. Other embodiments may include a chinguard with a movable chincup.

A protective helmet including a helmet body, a facemask extending from the front portion to cover at least a portion of a face of a wearer, and one or more adjustment mechanisms securing the facemask to the helmet body. The adjustment mechanism(s) is/are connected to the helmet, include(s) an engagement member engaged with the facemask, is/are selectively engageable with the facemask in at least two vertically spaced apart positions of the facemask relative to the helmet body, and allow(s) toolless adjustment between the vertically spaced apart positions. Adjustment mechanisms and methods of positioning a facemask are also discussed.

Provided is a protective headgear that includes a first shell section, second shell section, third shell section, and fourth shell section. The first shell section is configured to extend about a head of the user, and include a first central portion, a first strap and a second strap that extend from the first shell section. The first central portion includes a first protective layer and a second protective layer disposed atop the first protective layer. The second shell section is configured to extend about a jaw of the user, and include a second central portion, a third strap and a fourth strap that extend from the second shell section. The third shell section is connected to the first shell section by the first strap and the third strap, and the fourth shell section is connected to the second shell section by the second strap and the fourth strap.

A chin cup has a hard outer cup and a soft inner cup that may be removable from the outer cup. The inner cup has a peripheral edge extending beyond the edges of the outer cup. Strap guides that allow a strap to slide through. A one size fits all design includes a central indentation that extends upward toward a top central portion of the cups as well as a central narrowing longitudinally of the cups. Aligned vent holes between the cups let the user's chin breathe. The cups have an arcuate longitudinal arch shape. The chin cup includes a boss and hole design that has mushroom caps that prevents the separation of the cups when not in use, the soft inner cup imbedded in the hard outer cup.

A chin strap includes a protective shell including a curved and convex contour extending between lengthwise ends of the shell, the shell further including a first curved edge extending between the lengthwise ends of the shell and a second curved edge extending between the lengthwise ends of the shell. A cross-section along a lengthwise central axis of the chin strap defines a first shell portion including the first curved edge and a second shell portion including the second curved edge. The first shell portion of the cross-section defines a first surface area between the lengthwise central axis and the first curved edge, and the second shell portion of the cross-section defines a second surface area between the lengthwise central axis and the second curved edge, where the first surface area is less than the second surface area.

A helmet including a helmet shell for receiving a head of a wearer, the helmet shell defining therein: a connector chamber, and a connector aperture opening into the connector chamber; the connector chamber being shaped and configured to receive therein an anchor portion of at least one accessory, the at least one accessory being chosen from: a power connector for selectively powering the helmet; a garment for selectively powering the helmet; and a storage fixation for selectively receiving the helmet for storage, the helmet being configured to selectively secure the at least one accessory thereto by receiving the anchor portion of the at least one accessory in the connector chamber.
