002416000 | By suspension rigging | 13 |
20100229286 | Head Suspension Having Transition Arms and Rear Support - A head suspension includes a headband portion having a length and two transition arms. Each transition arm is coupled to the headband portion and extends away from the headband portion length at an angle greater than zero degrees. Each transition arm has a distal end and a pivot at the distal end. The pivot characterized by a pivot point and a rear support portion is pivotally connected to each pivot. | 09-16-2010 |
20100235971 | Head Suspension Headband - A head suspension headband includes an elongated headband having a band length and configured to be disposed across a forehead of a user, and a plurality of suspension elements disposed along the band length and configured to contact the forehead of a user. | 09-23-2010 |
20110167542 | HELMET FITTING AND IMPACT ATTENUATION SYSTEM - There is provided a safety helmet with a helmet fitting and impact attenuation system. The system comprises a semi-rigid space frame attachable to the safety helmet and a headband, releasably attachable to one or more arms of the space frame. The space frame and headband accommodate the use of an impact attenuation liner mounted between the space frame and the helmet shell. The helmet fitting and impact attenuation system also may be used to update and retrofit existing helmet shells. | 07-14-2011 |
20130205477 | PROTECTIVE HELMET, IN PARTICULAR FOR FORESTRY WORKERS - A protective helmet is described, with a helmet shell and with an interior fitting subassembly which comprises at least one supporting cage, a head band and a neck band. Three supporting arms serve to fasten the subassembly to the helmet shell with a spacing. A clearance is thus provided between the interior fitting subassembly and the helmet shell for receiving ear protection capsules and supporting brackets of an ear protection and of other helmet accessories. When not in use, the ear protection can be pivoted under the helmet shell. The protective helmet therefore does not provide any engagement possibilities whatsoever for obstacles such as branches and the like. The supporting arms partially transmit a force acting on the helmet from above back into the helmet shell in order to elastically deform the latter. The helmet therefore has an improved shock absorption capability. | 08-15-2013 |
20130219596 | HARD HAT SUSPENSION - A hard hat suspension is provided for use in a hard hat for protecting a wearer's head. The hard hat comprises a rigid outer shell. The suspension comprises a central portion for resting on the wearer's head, and a plurality of resilient impact absorbing corrugated strap members depending from the central portion. At least some, or all, of the strap members comprise a corrugated segment and terminate in an uncorrugated attachment end that is configured for attachment to an inner surface of the rigid outer shell. The suspension may be of unitary construction or may be formed of separate strap members. | 08-29-2013 |
20130239302 | Head Suspension Headband - A head suspension headband includes an elongated headband having a band length and configured to be disposed across a forehead of a user, and a plurality of suspension elements disposed along the band length and configured to contact the forehead of a user. | 09-19-2013 |
20130283507 | PROTECTIVE GEAR - Protective gear is provided, such as, for example, protective headgear that includes a rigid helmet structure, an engagement system configured to engage a user's head, and a plurality of tethering devices coupled between the engagement system and the rigid helmet structure to suspend the rigid helmet structure from the user's head when the protective headgear is worn. The protective headgear further includes at least one damper coupled to one or more of the plurality of tethering devices to resist motion of the rigid helmet structure relative to the engagement system when the rigid structure is impacted during an impact event. | 10-31-2013 |
20140109301 | HELMET SUSPENSION SYSTEM - Suspension systems for helmet assemblies provide enhanced stability and adjustability for installation in helmets across different platforms. A suspension system may include an upward stabilizing member extending from a support portion of the suspension system and a pivotally attached downward stabilizing member. The pivotal attachment between upward and downward stabilizing members allows the suspension to be appropriately incorporated into helmets that are subject to manufacturing and specification variability, while still providing flexibility for fit adjustments to the suspension system. | 04-24-2014 |
20160157545 | COLLAPSIBLE SAFETY HELMET - A safety helmet includes an outer collapsible shell that collapses toward an inner shell when an impact force is received, and does not return toward its initial (pre-collapsed) state when the impact force is removed. The safety helmet provides improved protection against injuries. | 06-09-2016 |
20160161222 | BULLETPROOF, SHOCK-ABSORBING HELMET - The present invention relates to a bulletproof, shock-absorbing helmet and, more particularly, to a bulletproof, shock-absorbing helmet having undulations formed in the surface of an outer helmet so that incoming shells are deflected by the sloped surfaces of the undulations, and also having shock absorbing means provided in a space between the outer helmet and an inner helmet to absorb shocks and prevent injury due to shocks that would otherwise be transmitted to the head and neck regions of the wearer when shells are deflected. While a previously registered bulletproof helmet may have the effect of being able to deflect incoming shells instead of having them penetrate through it, it is problematic because the strong shock from an incoming shell is directly transmitted through the helmet body to the head and neck of the wearer, causing injury. This danger of injury becomes a factor that lowers the morale of troops and reduces the level of precision shooting ability and mobility that are required in modern warfare. Another problem was that problems arose in terms of tactical strategy. The present invention provides a bulletproof, shock-absorbing helmet having deflecting undulations formed in the outer surface of the outer helmet so as to minimize the area through which a shell can directly enter and maximize the deflecting area. In order to absorb external shock from shells and maintain a buffer space between the outer helmet and the inner helmet on the inside of the outer helmet, the bulletproof, shock-absorbing helmet comprises: a plurality of first shock absorbing means provided around the perimeters of the inner and outer helmets; second shock absorbing means provided at the top; and third shock absorbing means provided on the inside of the inner helmet. Thus, the life of the wearer can be protected, and injury to the head and neck regions can also be prevented. | 06-09-2016 |
