20150121608 | COMPOSITE PROTECTIVE HELMET - A composite protective helmet comprises two or more separable and mutually connectable parts that can be interconnected by L-shaped projections on one of the parts and L-shaped recesses on a mating part so that during assembly the L-shaped projections are inserted into the mating recesses and the separable parts are interconnected by shifting one part relative to the other so that elements of the L-shaped projections that are parallel to the mating end faces are inserted into respective parts of the recesses, and then the separable parts of the helmet are locked in the assembled state, e.g., by hooks on one of the parts and a hook-engaging ferrule on the other of the separable parts.
