Patent number: 6532602Abstract: A comfortable, self-adjusting, protective helmet made from a process of insert molding. The helmet comprises an armature or insert made of a porous material that is embedded in the layers of the helmet to connect the structural parts of the helmet to one another. The armature as used in the helmet also serves several other functions which include hinging and sizing. A retention system is strategically located on the helmet to provide increased stabilization of the helmet on the wearer's head. One embodiment of this invention is an insert-molded helmet that can be converted into a pouch. A further embodiment of this invention includes a protrusion at the back of a helmet suitable for a compartment.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Sportscope, Inc.Inventors: Robert D. Watters, John C. Tutton, Aldo F. Balatti, Mark A. Fletcher, Nicholas Shewchenko, Timothy Douglas Bayne, Christopher Robert Patrick Withnall

Patent number: 6159324Abstract: A new process for making headgear. The process comprises the step of insert molding an armature into helmet segments to produce a protective helmet having superior characteristics. The process also comprises the step of strategically locating a retention system on the helmet to provide increased stabilization of the helmet on the wearer's head. The process further comprises the step of attaching an improved strap guide to the helmet. One embodiment of this invention is a process for making an insert-molded helmet that can be converted into a pouch. Another embodiment of this invention is a process for making a helmet that includes a protrusion at the back of a helmet suitable for a compartment.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: SportscopeInventors: Robert D.

Patent number: 5044019Abstract: Existing devices for stabilizing a safety helmet such as a hard hat are either unduly complicated or ill adapted as retrofits for existing helmets. A simple restraining device for use on new or existing helmets includes a bracket located at the center of the interior of each side of the helmet for pivotally supporting front and rear headbands. Pins extending through the headbands into arcuate slots in the brackets limit rotation of the front and rear headbands with respect to the brackets. A force tending to lift or rotate the helmet from the wearer's head will cause the headbands to pivot downwardly and inwardly against the wearer's head, thus inhibiting removal thereof from the head of the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1990Date of Patent: September 3, 1991Assignee: Biokinetics and Associates Ltd.Inventors: Nicholas Shewchenko, Bjarki Halgrimsson
