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 particular embodiment of a storage system includes at least one storage device. The storage device can store working clothing. The storage system further includes a wired and/or wireless charging device. The wired and/or wireless charging device can transmit electrical energy to an energy storage unit of the work clothing. The wired and/or wireless charging device can charge different work-clothing items of the work clothing. The work clothing can be disposed in the storage device. The storage system further includes a sensor device that can sense a characteristic variable of the work clothing.

A safety helmet fan system includes a fan housing carrying a fan and configured to be mounted on an exterior of a safety helmet shell above a brim of the safety helmet shell, and an elongate cooling air duct connected to the fan housing to direct cooling air flow from the fan housing around the brim and into an interior of the safety helmet shell. The duct can have a flexible construction that allows the duct to be selectively reshaped to accommodate different safety helmet brim configurations. The duct can have a releasable connector configured to releasably connect the duct to a brim of a safety helmet shell.

A headwear device includes an endothermic reactor and a trigger to initiate an endothermic reaction in a reactor while the headwear device is being worn on a wearer's head. The headwear device may preferably be utilized in, or conjunction with, a motorcycle safety helmet or similar crash protection device. The headwear device is intended to prevent or delay the onset of brain damage as a result of serious trauma or head injury.

A helmet with an airbag assembly coupled to the shell of the helmet. The airbag assembly includes an airbag and an inflation device. The inflation device is configured to at least partially inflate the airbag upon deployment of the airbag assembly. The helmet also includes a processing circuit disposed at least partially within the shell. The processing circuit is configured to receive helmet data regarding a second helmet, transmit deployment data regarding inflation of the airbag assembly, and control operation of the inflation device to inflate the airbag based on the helmet data.

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.

A hinge mechanism for attaching ear accessories to a helmet allows an accessory to be attached at a point outside the helmet shell utilizing, for example, a slidable mounting rail, and to reach under the edge of the helmet shell so that the accessory is supported in contact with the wearer's head. The hinge mechanism is well suited for use in connection with military helmets that have a “bulge” or protrusion over the ear.

The invention relates to a protective helmet (2), in particular a firefighting helmet, having a helmet shell (4) and coupling arrangements (6) which are arranged on either side in a temple region (5) in each case and have first coupling elements (7) for coupling in a releasable manner in each case to an accessory (3). The first coupling elements (7) are retained on the helmet shell (4) via retaining means (9) of a connecting device (20) in a plurality of different positions one behind the other along a longitudinal axis (10) of an adjustment path. Each of the first coupling elements (7) has arranged thereon a first coupling member (11) which is arranged in a first laterally offset position in relation to the retaining means (9), which is arranged along the longitudinal axis (10) of the adjustment path. The invention also relates to safety equipment (1) comprising such a protective helmet (2) and at least one accessory (3) coupled thereto.

Provided is a protective headgear that includes a first shell section, second shell section, third shell section, and fourth shell section. The first shell section is configured to extend about a head of the user, and include a first central portion, a first strap and a second strap that extend from the first shell section. The first central portion includes a first protective layer and a second protective layer disposed atop the first protective layer. The second shell section is configured to extend about a jaw of the user, and include a second central portion, a third strap and a fourth strap that extend from the second shell section. The third shell section is connected to the first shell section by the first strap and the third strap, and the fourth shell section is connected to the second shell section by the second strap and the fourth strap.
