DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and method(s) of use for the present invention, Snow Removal Device, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present invention.

[0019] Referring now to FIGS. 1-4, showing perspective views illustrating Wi-Fi hard helmet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 1.

[0020] Wi-Fi hard helmet 100 for use by construction workers, firefighters, mine workers, sandhogs, police officers, and military personnel, comprising: helmet 110; Wi-Fi member 200; light member 400; and power source 440. Helmet 110 includes shell member 120; pad members 300; and attachment portions 160. Shell member 120 forms interior volume 124 adapted to receive a head of a person therein as shown in in-use condition 106 of FIG. 1. Shell member 120 is formed from a material chosen from a group of materials consisting of metal or plastic. Upon reading this specification, it should be appreciated that, under appropriate circumstances, considering such issues as user preferences, design preference, structural requirements, marketing preferences, cost, available materials, technological advances, etc., other material arrangements such as, for example, fiberglass and ceramic, etc., may be sufficient.

[0021] Pad members 300 are located within interior volume 124 and are attached to an inner surface of shell member 120 as shown in FIG. 3. Pad members 300 are located on two opposite side portion and a top portion of the inner surface of shell member 120. Pad members 300 are formed from a material chosen from a group of materials consisting of plastic, cotton, foamed plastic, and cellulose. Wi-Fi hard helmet 100 further comprising chin strap member 170 adapted to releasably connect with attachment portions 160 of shell member 120. Attachment portions 160 are located on opposite side portions of shell member 120 and are adapted to releasably attach strap member therebetween such as chin strap member 170 for use in securing Wi-Fi hard helmet 100 to the head of a person.

[0022] Wi-Fi member 200 is attached to shell member 120 and is adapted to send and receive electronic signals. Wi-Fi member 200 is adapted to send information via electronic signals pertaining to the location of Wi-Fi hard helmet 100. WiFi member 200 includes transmitter 210 adapted to send said electronic signals; and receiver 220 adapted to receive electronic signals. WiFi member 200 further includes antenna member 230 for send and receiving electronic signals.
