There is provided a novel aroma generator.

Provided is an aroma generator including: a cartridge holding unit equipped with a cartridge that holds a fragrance; and a control unit that automatically selects a type of the fragrance in the cartridge according to sensing information obtained from the outside. The sensing information may be external environment information and/or biological information. Furthermore, the aroma generator may further include an air blower that blows the fragrance in the cartridge, and the control unit may automatically change blowing intensity of the air blower according to the sensing information.

A protective covering includes an adjustable frame having a headband portion, a face-perimeter portion, and a visor. The covering includes a substantially translucent shield and an air handling unit disposed on the visor. The air handling unit includes a fan and an intake filter disposed in fluidic communication with the fan. A power source is operatively coupled to the fan, and the fan is configured to move ambient air from an external environment, through the intake filter, and into a substantially contained internal environment. A relief filter is at least partially disposed in the substantially translucent shield.

Provided is an adsorption filter structure, and more specifically, an adsorption filter structure with easy detachment and increased filter efficiency. The adsorption filter structure includes a filtration unit passing external air through an internal space in a filtration direction, and filtering the external air, an external vent and an internal vent, and the helmet to which the adsorption filter structure is applied includes a protection unit into which the adsorption filter structure is interpolated and the external air entrance hole is formed, a neck packing part, a nose cast, and an exhalation port. Accordingly, the helmet, including the adsorption filter structure, is designed to be easily detached without protrusion so that a wearer's field of vision is secured, wherein the adsorption filter structure that is not restricted in actions during work is applied. The adsorption layer, the filtration layer, and the shielding layer are stacked therein so as to exhibit optimal efficiency, and thus the filtration efficiency is increased.

A helmet may include a cooling device coupled thereto, where the cooling device may include a fluid absorbing material that is sufficiently porous to facilitate airflow therethrough positioned within an air intake scoop. The air intake scoop may include a basin formed in part by a front edge of the air intake scoop and by a rear barrier in the air intake scoop. At least one vent aperture located behind the rear barrier. A fluid absorbing material may be disposed within at least a portion of the air intake scoop. At least one drainage aperture may be positioned within a sidewall of the air intake scoop and located at least partially below a top surface of the rear barrier.

Single-use, disposable helmets, hoods, and helmet/hood assemblies are disclosed. Methods of making and using single-use, disposable helmets, hoods, and helmet/hood assemblies are also disclosed.

Various embodiments of safety headwear are provided. The safety headwear includes one or more of a hard hat, such as a safety helmet, and a respirator. The safety headwear monitors one or more conditions, such as biometric and/or atmospheric conditions. The safety headwear analyzes the results of the monitoring to determine whether to generate an alarm to the wearer of the safety headwear.

A helmet that includes vents in the shell and removable plugs that may be positioned in the vents to provide an airtight seal while maintaining the aerodynamic shape of the helmet. The vent has an outer vent opening in the outer wall surface of the shell and an inner vent opening in the inner wall surface of the shell. The plug includes a resilient lower surface and an upper surface opposite the resilient lower surface. The resilient lower surface has a lower peripheral lip that compresses when the plug is pushed through the outer vent opening and the inner vent opening and that subsequently expands after the lower peripheral lip passes through the inner vent opening so that the lower peripheral lip engages a portion of the inner wall surface of the shell. The upper surface has an upper peripheral lip configured to conform to a portion of the outer wall surface of the shell when the plug is inserted in the vent.

A helmet manufacturing method involves: producing a shell and a protector, the shell having two opposing cheek-protecting portions, the protector having a jaw-protecting portion and a neck-protecting portion connected to the jaw-protecting portion; putting the shell and the protector in a die such that bottom edges of the cheek-protecting portions of the shell connect to a top edge of the neck-protecting portion of the protector; introducing a foam material into the die, apply heat and pressure to the foam material such that the foam material expands and binds to an inner side of the shell and an inner side of the protector; and taking a helmet finished product out of the die. Therefore, both the jaw-protecting portion of the integrally-formed protector and the helmet finished product are reinforced.

A helmet can include a helmet body and a shield. The helmet body can include a front portion and a tail portion, and the shield can include two ear portions connected by a brow portion. The shield can be releasably coupled to the helmet body. The ears of a helmet user can be exposed with respect to the helmet body and covered with respect to the shield. The brow portion of the shield can extend across the front portion of the helmet. The tail portion of the helmet can be tapered and the front portion of the helmet can have a rounded leading edge, such that the helmet body has a tear drop form factor.
