Helmet with visor
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.
MULTI-LAYER PROGRESSIVE PADDING
A helmet includes a shell having an interior surface and a padding configured to provide progressive impact resistance. The padding includes a first padding layer and a second padding layer. The first padding layer has a first side configured to conform to the interior surface of the shell and an opposing second side that defines a plurality of first continuous extensions arranged in a spaced configuration defining a plurality of first recesses therebetween. The second padding layer has a third side configured to conform to a head of a wearer of the helmet and an opposing fourth side that defines a plurality of second continuous extensions arranged in a spaced configuration defining a plurality of second recesses therebetween.
SAFETY HELMET WITH RETRACTABLE BRIM
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.
DETACHABLE VEIL DEVICE
A detachable veil device may include a support frame having a right temple support, a central support, and a left support. A veil, which may be configured for covering portions of the head of a wearer, may be coupled below and to the support frame. A first accessory fastener may be coupled to the right temple support, and a second accessory fastener may be coupled to the left temple support. Optionally, the device may comprise a nose cover which may be coupled to the central support. The device may be removably attached to a wearable accessory that may be worn by a wearer by removably attaching the accessory fasteners to the wearable accessory so that the veil may be positioned to cover portions of the head of a wearer by being supported by the wearable accessory that is being worn on the head of the wearer.
VISOR WITH MULTI-POSITION LOCKING SYSTEM
A multi-positional helmet visor system in which the visor can be repositioned to a plurality of positions. Cooperating structures in the visor and helmet inhibit the unwanted changes in visor position. The helmet uses a magnetic source disposed on a boss in a sliding element of the visor, which cooperates and mates with a series of ferromagnetic elements disposed in detents along the medial front to assist in holding the visor in place. The magnetic force and boss-detent structures inhibit unwanted movement of the visor. The visor may be inhibited from being lowered into the cyclist’s field of view by sets of cooperating stops on the visor and helmet.
DEFLECTOR SELECTIVELY CONNECTABLE TO A HELMET, HELMET HAVING SAME AND HELMET HAVING ADJUSTABLE PEAK
A deflector selectively connectable to a helmet is disclosed. The helmet has a helmet shell and a jaw shield defining at least one jaw aperture configured to permit air flow therethrough. The deflector has a deflector body and at least one connecting protrusion receivable in the at least one jaw aperture to restrict air flow. A helmet having the deflector is disclosed. A helmet having a helmet shell, left and right holders having first and second connectors and a peak adjustable between first and second configurations is disclosed. The peak has left and right connecting portions, each having third and fourth connectors. The first connectors are rotationally connected to the third connectors. The second connectors are selectively connected to the fourth connectors in one of at least two positions. The second connectors are at a first position in the first configuration, and at a second position in the second configuration.
Visor with multi-position locking system
A multi-positional helmet visor system in which the visor can be repositioned to a plurality of positions. Cooperating structures in the visor and helmet inhibit the unwanted changes in visor position. The helmet uses a magnetic source disposed on a boss in a sliding element of the visor, which cooperates and mates with a series of ferromagnetic elements disposed in detents along the medial front to assist in holding the visor in place. The magnetic force and boss-detent structures inhibit unwanted movement the visor. The visor may be inhibited from being lowered into the cyclist's field of view by sets of cooperating stops on the visor and helmet.
Brim for attaching to headgear
A portable brim can be securely attached to and operate with various helmets such as bicycle, skateboarding, snow sport, mountain/rock climbing, equestrian, and paddlesport helmets as well as hard hats used in construction, utility maintenance, material moving, dock loading, and airport baggage handling, to give the wearer shade and protection from the sun. The brim apparatus includes a center section having a size for fitting about a circumference of the sports helmet and a visor outwardly or radially extending from the center section. In one brim apparatus the center section features a stop surface that opposes an upper surface of the visor when the apparatus is affixed to the headgear such that the visor is prohibited from flipping upwards or sliding down or coming off during use.
Helmet assembly with visor assembly having a breath guard
A helmet including a visor assembly having a breath guard is provided. The visor assembly includes a visor pivotally connected to the helmet shell and having an inner surface facing the cavity when in the lowered position. The visor assembly further includes a breath guard interface provided below the visor and a breath guard which has a visor interface connected to the breath guard interface of the visor assembly. The breath guard includes a flexible member connected to and extending from the visor interface and a contact surface shaped and configured to engage the wearer's face around the nose and mouth for deflecting humid air away from the inner surface of the visor. The flexible member has a channel extending along the visor interface having a substantially V-shaped cross-section configured to allow the flexible member to be deformed when raising the visor.
