A helmet with ornaments is provided, which allows a wearer to attach and detach ornament members to a helmet in a one-touch manner to enhance an aesthetic sense. The helmet with ornaments includes: a helmet main body worn on a wearer's head to protect the head; and an ornamental member provided to be attachable and detachable on the helmet main body for decoration of the helmet main body.

A closed face motorcycle helmet includes a shell with an eyeport and a shield attached for hinged or pivoted motion between a closed or lowered position covering and sealing the eyeport and an open position or raised position displaced above the eyeport. A hinge plate is attached to the shell on each side and includes a moving pivot socket into which a hub of the shield is rotatably disposed for hinged movement and rearward movement of the shield between the raised and lowered positions.

A protective helmet including a shell on which are moveably mounted a shield and a chin guard, the chin guard being moveable between a closed position and an open position and having two lateral branches each provided with a guide in which is meshed a guiding finger fixed on the shell, and the shield being moveable between a lowered position and a lifted position and having two lateral arms articulated on the shell, the helmet having an automatic lifting mechanism of the shield configured to lift the shield from the lowered position during the closing movement of the chin guard and including at least a cam-follower system including: a rotary cam secured to a guiding finger pivotally mounted on the shell and connected in rotation to the corresponding lateral branch of the chin guard by cooperation of form with the guide, and a follower element secured to a lateral arm of the shield, wherein the cam and the follower element are at least in partial contact along a given cam surface.

A helmet includes a shell having an interior surface, a padding disposed along the interior surface of the shell, and a chinbar. The padding defines a first engagement surface positioned at a first lateral side of the padding and a second engagement surface positioned at an opposing second lateral side of the padding. The chinbar includes a cage, a first flange, and a second flange. The cage includes a first end defining a third engagement surface and a second end defining a fourth engagement surface. The third engagement surface interfaces with the first engagement surface and the fourth engagement surface interfaces with the second engagement surface. The first flange extends from the first end of the cage. The second flange extends from the second end of the cage. The first flange and the second flange of the chinbar are embedded within the padding.

Visor assembly (1) comprising an outer shield (2) and an inner shield (6) which is arranged at a distance therefrom and lies within the periphery of the outer shield, wherein a spacer (7) extending along the periphery of the inner shield is provided in order to hold the inner shield at a predetermined distance from the outer shield, wherein mechanical fixing means (10, 12) are arranged between the two shields for mutual fixation thereof, wherein the inner shield is formed at the position of its periphery such that a protrusion (7) from the inner shield is obtained, this protrusion forming the spacer.

A closed face motorcycle helmet includes a shell with an eyeport and a shield attached for hinged or pivoted motion between a closed or lowered position covering and sealing the eyeport and an open position or raised position displaced above the eyeport. A hinge plate is attached to the shell on each side and includes a moving pivot socket into which a hub of the shield is rotatably disposed for hinged movement and rearward movement of the shield between the raised and lowered positions.

Helmet systems and their methods of use are described. In one embodiment, an opaque, ballistic rated visor is attached to a helmet such that the visor covers a wearer's eyes.

A visor (26) for a helmet (22) comprises: an air delivery element (34) for delivering air to a surface of the visor (26). The air delivery element (34) comprises: at least one inlet (28) for receiving air from an air source (30); and a plurality of outlets (44) through which air is transportable to the surface of the visor (26). The visor (26) may also include a ridge (84) formed adjacent to the plurality of outlets (44) for creating a Coanda effect in air passing through the plurality of outlets (44).

A work or sports protective helmet, with a structure having a substantially convex outer surface; a substantially concave inner surface adapted to receive a user's head in engagement is provided. The helmet also has two coupling and decoupling elements for engagement an accessory, such as a visor, a mask, a net or a similar accessory, each of which can be engaged on a lateral portion of the outer surface of structure. Each coupling and decoupling element can be removed from the helmet and has a body having a coupling mechanism which allows the engagement and the disengagement of the accessory to/from the helmet when the coupling and decoupling elements are engaged on the latter.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for the rapid and reliable replacement of protective windows of the shields and electric-arc shields. A locking device releasably connects the face shield window with the helmet or cap bracket.
