| 002600600 | Soldiers (i.e., ground based trooper) helmet | 12 |
| 20080276340 | Helmet cooling cushion - A cooling cushion for use in military ACH helmets is described. The cooling cushion comprises a plurality of chambers each containing water absorbent polymer crystals. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090064385 | HEAD AND NECK PROTECTOR - A head projector comprises a protective skirt for use with a helmet for protecting parts of a wearer's head below the peripheral edge of the helmet, such as the temporal and occipital regions. The protective skirt comprises one or more layers of high tensile strength flexible material, such as an aramid material and a securing mechanism for enabling the skirt to be suspended from the helmet in the required position. The protective skirt may extend to a position below a person's head to cover and protect a person's neck region. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090064386 | HELMET EDGE BAND - An improved edge band for a protective helmet includes a flexible woven-fiber elongate band applied to the edge of a helmet shell. The elongate band is positioned such that side edges of the elongate band extend in intimately conforming contact along a surface contour of the helmet shell. The edge band includes a matrix material in contact with fibers of the elongate band. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090313736 | Varying thickness Helmet for reduced weight and increased protection - A helmet in which the material thickness is optimized to utilize multiple defeat mechanisms against a range of threats and to provide varying levels of protection in different areas based on the expected distribution and orientation of threats. Threat types as well as likely threat locations are both used to determine optimal material types and thickness at different points on the helmet to provide the user with the greatest overall level of personal protection possible with a helmet of a given maximum weight. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100083413 | ADAPTOR PLATFORM FOR HELMET - A mounting system for mounting a plurality of devices to a helmet. The mounting system comprises a mounting halo secured around the helmet, at least one rail rotatably mounted to the halo and adapted to secure a device thereto, and an adaptor bracket mounted to a rear of the helmet. The adaptor bracket is adapted to receive therein a device whose weight counterbalances the weight of night vision equipment secured to the front of the helmet. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100242146 | Nape pad / chin strap retention assemblies for ballistic helmets - There is provided a protective helmet assembly that includes a shell, a suspension band, and an adjustable headband and a crown pad. The shell is constructed from at least PARA-ARAMID to provide ballistic protection. The adjustable headband and the crown pad each have a plurality of screw less connectors for directly securing the adjustable headband and the crown pad to the suspension band without screws. A nape pad subassembly is adjustably coupled to the shell via rear fasteners. A chin strap subassembly is adjustably coupled between the front fasteners and the nape pad subassembly by a multi-connection point coupling. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110283430 | BLUNT FORCE PROTECTION BALL CAP TECHNOLOGY - Headgear having a cap portion configured to fit the head of a user and cover a top portion of the user's head, the cap portion including a layer of a fabric material, and at least one piece or layer of impact absorbing material attached to the layer of fabric material, wherein the impact absorbing material provides enhanced protection from impact to the user's head. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20120167268 | Vented Ballistic Combat Helmet - A ballistic armor helmet has two or more shell elements which are fixed to one another to define one or more ventilation gaps. The shell elements preferably overlap to keep projectiles from entering the helmet. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20130007936 | Apparatus for Measuring Data for Injury Analysis with Power Management - An apparatus for recording data indicative of acceleration of a part of a person's body or other object, including first memory means for receiving acceleration data from an acceleration sensor, second memory means operatively coupled to the first memory means for receiving data from the first memory means, and a data transfer controller for controlling the transfer of data from the first memory means to the second memory means based on the acceleration data. | 01-10-2013 |
| 20130031692 | Helmet Accessory For Holding Tools - A tool holding helmet accessory for sport helmet or military helmet. The accessory is injection molded in accordance to a helmet and is removablely mountable to a helmet. Tool holding patches are mounted on the surface of the accessory for holding various light weight tools. | 02-07-2013 |
| 20140115745 | Metal Reinforced Ballistic Helmet - A combat helmet may be constructed of a composite material with embedded metal plates Inner and outer shells of woven fibers bound with a thermoset or thermoplastic composite may sandwich titanium or other metal plates to form the helmet. The fibers may include aramid and other fibers that may be laid up in multiple layers. The helmet may be composed of multiple flat faces, and the metal plates may be sheet metal components. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20140123360 | Military Helmet - Embodiments of a protective helmet have a shell formed from a cushioning material, a cushioning spacer layer coupled to the shell and only partially covering an inner surface of the shell, a ballistic-resistant inner shell having an outer surface attached to the cushioning spacer layer and an inner surface, and an innermost cushioning pad layer attached to the inner surface of the ballistic-resistant inner shell. A flexible thin cover extending around an outer surface of the cushioning shell and with or without graphics may be provided. | 05-08-2014 |
