Helmet with visor having a shell structure shaped is to at least partly cover the user's head. The visor is hinged to the opposite sides of the shell and mobile with respect to the shell between a raised position and a lowered position where it provides a protective extension of the helmet at the eyes of the user. The visor is manually switchable from the raised and lowered positions by using a magnetic coupling between the visor and the shell which guides and keeps the visor stable in the raised and lowered position and in a plurality of intermediate positions.

A helmet shield opening mechanism is provided, wherein first and second constraint tracks are provided on at least one support leg of a shield jaw guard, and a driver element is configured to come into contact with and drive the two tracks, so that the helmet has forced and controlled modes relative to the opening action and process of the helmet body. On one hand, the operational reliability and flexibility of the shield opening mechanism can be improved; on the other hand, the shield is opened smoothly without collision, thus improving the wearing comfort of the helmet. Further, a helmet with changeable jaw guard equipped with the helmet shield opening mechanism can plan the opening process of the shield flexibly to adapt to states of the jaw guard at different operation positions, thereby greatly reducing the chances of collision between the jaw guard and the shield.

Protecting helmet of the type provided with at least one inner shell for shock absorption and at least one outer rigid shell that define a front opening for the face of a user, as well as a protective visor at least rotatable between a lowered position intercepting, at least partially, the front opening and a raised position disengaged from said front opening, and a raising/lowering mechanism to raise/lower the protective visor, wherein the raising/lowering mechanism comprises: at least one base member integral with, or made in a single piece with, or coincident with, part of the outer shell, and arranged in a side position with respect to said front opening; a lever body mounted on said outer shell or said base member so as to rotate around a first axis and provided with a support swinging with respect to said first axis between a proximal position and a distal position with respect to said front opening, said support further comprising hooking means to hook with a corresponding side area of the protective visor; elastic return-means constrained to said outer shell or said base member, and acting on said lever body to push it towards its distal position; one or more hooking teeth integral with said side area of the protective visor and shaped for the engagement with said hooking means of the lever body; at least one guide cam and a respective follower projection engaged with said guide cam, said at least one guide cam being integral with said at least one base member, and said respective follower projection being constrained so that to integrally rotate with said first side area of the protective visor, or vice versa.

Advantageously, the support of the lever body comprises at least one multiple-seat profile and the raising/lowering mechanism further comprises an intermediate disc-shaped element coupled with the afore said support of the lever body so that to rotate with respect to such support around a second axis, and also to swing with respect to the above mentioned first axis integrally with the support of the lever body. The intermediate disc-shaped element further comprises constraining means for the removable constraint to at least one of said hooking teeth of the protective visor in order to transmit at least the circular motion of the protective visor, during the raising or lowering thereof, to the same intermediate disc-shaped element, as well as engaging means, at least integrally rotatable with the same intermediate disc-shaped element, for the movable snap fitting with the afore mentioned at least one multiple-seat profile of the support of the lever body.

A safety helmet with retractable brim comprising a helmet shaped body having a slot presented on a downward facing surface of a front section. The safety helmet includes a brim that translates within the slot between a retracted and a downward configuration. In the retracted configuration the brim is received within the slot. In the downward configuration the second end of the brim does not extend beyond the forward facing surface of the helmet. A pivoting element is configured to pivotally couple the brim proximate to the lip of the slot. The pivoting element allows the brim to move between the downward configuration and a forward configuration. In the forward configuration the brim extends outward beyond a forward facing surface of the helmet shaped body. A first locking element is configured to maintain the brim in the forward configuration.

A brim shade has a shade element, a clip, and a hinge that joins the shade element and the clip to make the brim shade. The shade element and the hinge combine to create a shade that does not allow the light to get past the brim shade. The brim shade can be adjusted through 360 degree rotation and along the side of a hat to provide protection to the wearer.

Plural contact pieces of a shaft member, which is mounted to a helmet main body, abut a cam surface that is formed at a hole portion provided in a proximal end portion of a chin guard. When the chin guard is rotated from a fully closed position to a fully open position with respect to the helmet main body, at least one of the contact pieces abuts an anchor surface, and, simultaneously, at least another one contact piece fits into a concave portion, and, due thereto, the chin guard is fixed with respect to the helmet main body.

A weight compensating bracket to releasably and pivotably mount a protective face shield to a helmet. The bracket has an adapter, which places the pivot of the cap bracket to which the face shield is mounted, rearwardly from the releasable connector to the helmet, enabling the face shield to be well balanced when in the stowed position above the helmet.

The invention discloses a helmet with associated rotation of a chin guard and a face mask, comprising a helmet body, wherein the face mask and the chin guard are symmetrically hinged to a mounting groove at a side surface of the helmet body, the mounting groove is provided with a face mask rotation limiter, a face mask mount, a linkage guide annular piece connected with the face mask mount, a driving rod matched with the annular groove on the linkage guide annular piece, a chin guard mount connected with the driving rod via hinging pieces, and a chin guard rotation guide clamped on the driving rod and the chin guard mount, wherein a double-track guide groove for guiding the rotation of the chin guard is formed in the chin guard rotation guide, and the hinging pieces provided at two ends of the driving rod respectively pass through the double-track guide groove and are connected with the chin guard mount; wherein the face mask rotation limiter is mounted on the mounting groove by a connector, and the linkage guide annular piece is hinged with the chin guard rotation guide by a first rotating shaft; and the chin rotation guide is connected with the mounting groove by a connector.

Several non-impact face shields for use in jobsite and/or construction settings are shown and described. Various embodiments describe herein include a cover actuates between a covered positioned, in which the cover is in front of the face of the user, and an open position.

A protective helmet has an outer shell, a protection shield movable relative to the outer shell between a deployed position and a stowed position, and a linkage mechanism for connecting the protection shield to the outer shell and permitting movement of the protection shield between the deployed and stowed positions. The linkage mechanism has a first link with a first end connected to the outer shell and a second end connected to the protection shield, a second link having a first end connected to the outer shell and a second end connected to the protection shield, and a biasing member having a first end connected to the first link and a second end connected to the second link. The second end of the biasing member moves between the first and second ends of the second link during movement of the protection shield between the deployed and stowed positions.
