Air pressure operated variable air vent for helmet
A helmet with an automatic vent that is normally open and responds to external air pressure to close. The vent is pivotally mounted to the body of the helmet to move between a closed position, wherein the vent does not permit any flow of air into the cavity of the body, and an open position, wherein the vent allows the flow of air into the cavity of the body. A spring provides a biasing force that urges the vent into the open position. The biasing force provided by the spring is overcome by air pressure on the vent when the helmet is in motion so that the vent closes. The vent may be a windshield that closes when the user travels at a predetermined velocity and opens when the user is stationary, thereby avoiding the need for the user to manually open and close the vent.
VENTILATED HELMET PREVENTING DEPOSITION OF FOG ON A PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR, AND A METHOD AND USE OF THE SAME
A ventilated helmet is provided. The helmet includes a shell defining a cavity, the shell having a front section provided with an opening to allow the wearer to see. The helmet also includes a transparent shield adapted having an inner surface and being adapted to substantially close the opening. Finally, the helmet includes a ventilation system having an evacuation subsystem adapted to create an evacuation airflow to evacuate humid air within the cavity to a surrounding environment. The ventilation system further has a pressurizing subsystem adapted to admit a pressurizing airflow within the cavity to create a high-pressure zone and a low-pressure zone within the cavity, wherein when in use, the wearer exhales air within the low-pressure zone, and wherein the high-pressure zone prevents air within the cavity from travelling from the low-pressure zone to the high-pressure zone. A method of evacuating humid air from the cavity is also provided.

Connector assembly for a helmet
A helmet has a helmet shell, a visor connected to the helmet shell, an electrical device attached to at least one of the helmet shell and the visor, and an electrical connector assembly. The electrical connector assembly has a flexible member having a first end magnetically connected to the helmet shell, which is electrically connected to the electrical device. The electrical connector assembly also has a connector connected to a second end of the flexible cord that is electrically connected to the electrical device via the flexible cord. The connector is adapted to connect to a power source.
UNIVERSAL NON-HELMETED PROTECTIVE FACEMASK
A protective non-helmeted single molded facemask for sports includes a frame structure formed of a polycarbonate polymer and an integrally molded rigid eye shield formed of a transparent polycarbonate polymer composition. The peripheral frame structure is structured and configured to engage a user's forehead, side and cheek facial structure and chin. An arrangement of vertical and horizontal bars in the lower portion of the face area of the facemask are structured and configured to protect the users nose and mouth from direct contact with external objects, while the rigid eye shield on the upper face area of the facemask protects the users eyes from direct impact and contact with external objects. Upper and lower straps extend from slotted openings on the sides of the facemask and are positioned and arranged to extend around the lower back of the wearer's head to secure the facemask on the wearer's head.

HELMET
A helmet has a helmet shell and a visor. The visor is attached to a visor heating element. The helmet has a controller adapted to control the amount of electrical power being supplied from a power source to the visor heating element.
Multifunctional lens assembly
A multifunctional lens assembly includes a functional transparent plate and a layered adhesive body. The functional transparent plate includes spaced apart through holes disposed in an outer peripheral region thereof. Each through hole extends through two opposite surfaces of the outer peripheral region. The layered adhesive body is attached to the functional transparent plate for adhering the functional transparent plate to a face shield of a mobile helmet. The layered adhesive body has a first layer 61 disposed on one of the two opposite surfaces of the outer peripheral region facing toward the face shield, and connection studs respectively extending through the through holes and integrally connecting the first layer.
