Illumination articles are described. More specifically, illumination articles that include a wearable device configured for wearing on the head of a wearer, a lightguide and light sources for emitting light into the lightguide are described. The illumination articles allow for wearable devices that uniformly illuminate a working area at high brightness without providing excessive glare to observers.

An article of illuminated headwear having a top portion, a left side, and a right side, the article of headwear including a controllable power source, a lamp disposed on the top portion of the article of headwear, the lamp in electrical communication with the power source, a first lens configured to cast white light in a 360 degree pattern around the lamp, a second lens disposed on the right side of the headwear, the second lens configured to cast light of a first color to the right side of the headwear, and a third lens disposed on the left side of the headwear, the third lens configured to cast light of a second color to the left side of the headwear.

A helmet has a helmet shell and a visor pivotally connected to the helmet shell. First and second helmet electrical contacts are attached at both sides of the helmet and are adapted for electrically connecting to an electrical power source. First and second visor electrical contacts are attached to each side of the visor. The first and second visor electrical contacts are in contact with the first and second helmet electrical contacts respectively, at at least one position of the pivoting visor. First and second electrical wires are electrically connected to the first and second visor electrical contacts respectively.

An adaptor (1) for connecting a first object (2) to a second object (3). The adaptor having an elongate base (5) having a free end (5a) and a hinge end (5b), an elongate arm (10) having a free end (10a) and a hinge end (10b). The hinge end of said base hingedly connected to said hinge end of said arm so that said free end of said arm is moveable in use with respect to said free end of said base about a hinge defining a hinge axis (XX). The base having means (12) to connect said adaptor to said first object. The arm having means (14) to connect said adaptor to said second object. Whereby in use when said first and second objects are connected together a user can alter a position of said second object with respect to said first object without having to separate said objects.

The present invention relates to a helmet and a method for dealing with an accident using the helmet, which the helmet includes: a helmet body part made of a resin having a semi-spherical space for receiving the head of a wearer; a light part arranged in the front of the helmet body part having LEDs mounted on a substrate to provide the wearer with lighting; a metallic heat radiator extending from the front of the helmet body part to the back thereof along the upper central line of the helmet body part and partially contacting the back of the substrate to discharge heat; a communication device part received in the helmet body part for dealing with communication and emergency circumstances; and a battery received in the helmet body part for supplying power to the communication part and light part. According to the present invention, the metallic heat radiator is integrated with the resinous helmet body part by injection molding of different materials, so that the heat generated from the LEDs of the light part is discharged upwards from the top of the helmet, thus preventing the wearer from being subjected to the discomfort caused by the heat generated from the LEDs.

A helmet has a helmet shell and a visor pivotally connected to the helmet shell. The helmet further has an electrical device attached to the visor. First and second helmet electrical contacts are attached at both sides of the helmet and are adapted for electrically connecting to an electrical power source. First and second visor electrical contacts are attached to each side of the visor and are electrically connected to the electrical device. The first and second visor electrical contacts are pivotally connected to the helmet shell about first and second pivot axes passing through the first and second helmet electrical contacts respectively. The first and second visor electrical contacts are in contact with the first and second helmet electrical contacts respectively, at all positions of the pivoting visor.

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 safety helmet includes an outer shell having a front receptacle disposed on a front side of the outer shell and a rear receptacle disposed on a rear side of the outer shell. A first accessory device having a first mating receptacle formed thereon is releasably mountable onto each of the front receptacle or the rear receptacle of the outer shell, and a second accessory device having a second mating receptacle formed thereon is releasably mountable onto each of the front receptacle or the rear receptacle of the outer shell.

A lighted visor and method of retrofitting a protective suit with a lighted visor are disclosed. The lighted visor includes a shield and at least one light source that is conformable to the shape of the shield or visor on which is it disposed.

A device for indicating appropriate social distancing includes the ability to project light (in various forms and in a various ways) onto the ground in a manner visible by the user and those around them. A boundary of the projected light can be set to an acceptable social distance and can include different colors to indicated varying social distances for varying levels of trusted individuals. Proximity sensors set to appropriate distancing requirements, along with the varying levels of trust can be implemented into multiple devices being used in a group setting.
