Systems and methods are provided for welding-type headwear with enhanced movement and soft close. An example welding-type headwear has a moveable face cover configured for moving between a first position and an second position, and a movement mechanism configured for facilitating and controlling movement of the moveable face cover. The movement mechanism has a track component, a movement pin, and one or more springs. A movement assisting spring of the one or more springs is configured to assist in the moving of the moveable face cover towards to the second position. The track component has one or more tracks, and at least a portion of the movement pin is configured to move within the one or more tracks.

A visor for a helmet is disclosed. The visor includes a transparent structure having a pair of lateral edges, and a protector coupled to one of the pair of lateral edges of the transparent structure. The protector is made of soft material to protect a nose or chin of a user from any potential cut.

A safety helmet comprising an outer shell, a snap plug attached to or monolithic with a first side of the outer shell. The snap plug comprises a first aperture and a cam profile. Further, a screw element comprising a first portion that further comprises a plurality of threads, and a second portion of screw element comprises a protrusion. Further, a crown comprising a face shield. The crown comprises a second aperture. Further, a knob comprising a cavity having inner threads. Further, the first portion of the screw element is positioned within the first aperture of the snap plug, the second aperture of the crown, and the cavity of the knob. Further, protrusion engages with the cam profile such that upon rotation of the face shield, the protrusion moves from a first position to a second position of the cam profile.

A sport helmet assembly includes a helmet with a helmet shell and a visor. On its front side, the helmet shell with a helmet shell edge defines an upwardly-limited facial clearance. The visor includes upper and lower visor edge regions. A left bearing arrangement for the visor has a left sliding guide and a left pivot axis, and a right bearing arrangement for the visor has a right sliding guide and a right pivot axis for pivoting and displacing the visor by the bearing arrangements during a manually executed displacement movement. An available displacement length of the sliding guides and a thickness of the sealing element on the visor measured from a visor inner side in the direction of a helmet rear head side are dimensioned such that the sealing element is pressable against face portions below the user's eyes in the visor closed position by the sliding guides.

Protective helmet to be worn and to protect the head of a user against impacts and including a rigid outer shell delimiting an inner space for housing the head of user and including a front opening. The protective helmet includes a shield removably coupled to the outer shell and adapted to move at least between an operative position wherein the shield covers the front opening without allowing entrance of air in the inner space and an inoperative position wherein the inner space is accessible from the outside through the front opening, the shield being provided with a front hole. The protective helmet includes a locking device to lock the shield in the operative position. The locking device is positioned on the outer shell and includes a rotatable engaging member to engage the front hole of the shield when in the operative position.

The present disclosure relates to a shield rotation controlling means. The shield rotation controlling means according to the present disclosure comprises: a support member (100) supporting a shield (20) and rotating about a base member (300); and a stopping means (200) coupled to the support member (100) and provided with elasticity in the direction of the base member (300), the support member (100) stopped by means of the elasticity of the stopping means (200).

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 helmet is disclosed. A helmet according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include: a helmet body capable of surrounding a user's head; a fixing member which is fixed to a side surface of the helmet body and has a cam seat part; a movable member coupled to the fixing member so as to be linearly movable forward or backward; a pivot member which has a cam pivotally seated on the cam seat part and is disposed to be engaged with the movable member so as to be pivotable around the cam as a pivot axis; and a pressing member disposed in the fixing member to elastically support the cam and press the cam backward, wherein when the pivot member pivots from a first position toward a second position, the pivot axis moves forward and the pivot member and the movable member are accordingly displaced forward.

A motorcycle helmet, having a helmet shell, a chin part for covering a chin portion of a wearer, and a visor, uses a coupling mechanism by means of which the chin part is fastened to the helmet shell and pivotable between a lower position and an upper position. With the chin part in the lower position, by means of the coupling mechanism, the visor can assume a respective pivoting position between a closed position and an open position. The coupling mechanism is further designed, upon pivoting of the chin part from the upper position into the lower position after the chin part has previously been pivoted from the lower position into the upper position, to cause the visor to occupy a pre-pivoting position differing from the closed position, which pre-pivoting position the visor occupied before the pivoting of the chin part from the lower position into the upper position.

Various face shield assemblies for hard hats are described. In one embodiment, the face shield assembly includes a hard hat, a mounting bracket, a face shield, a first pivot arm and a second pivot arm. The first pivot arm and second pivot arm are pivotally coupled to the hard hat and rotate with respect to the mounting bracket and the face shield. The face shield is coupled to the first pivot arm and the second pivot arm. The face shield actuates between stowed and operating positions such that the face shield can avoid objects near a front of the hard hat, such as a bill and/or lamp. In other embodiments the face shield assembly includes an adjustable frame coupled to the face shield and the hard hat. The adjustable frame rotates and/or slides with respect to the hard hat.
