Shock absorptive helmet—facemask interconnect
A unique attachment mechanism to connect a facemask to a helmet is described. This attachment mechanism uses a polymer urethane visco-elastic, or similar, material to absorb impact forces on the facemask to minimize injury for the person using the helmet. In some embodiments, a spring and bearing mechanism is used in conjunction with the polymer urethane visco-elastic material to further absorb forces. In another embodiment, a polymer urethane visco-elastic grommet on a screw is used for an upper attachment of the mask to the helmet, and a larger polymer urethane visco-elastic structure with an internal spring is used as the lower attachment between the helmet and the mask. In still another embodiment, the connection between the helmet and the mast is a U shaped structure with a flat spring enclosed.

Button Tags
A method of securing a shirt collar to a shirt and shirt collar kit structured and arranged to instantly transform a button-less dress-shirt collar into a button-down collar. Useful in situations where a quick dress up is required for work or social occasions, thereby eliminating the fly-away collar phenomenon that diminishes one's appearance, and make any dress shirt immediately presentable, with or without a necktie. The Button Tags can also be used to eliminate gaps in the chest area.
