Abstract: Helmet assemblies with flip-type welding visors are provided. A representative helmet assembly includes: a grinding shell having a grinding view port; a welding visor mounted to the grinding shell and having a welding view port; and a connector extending between the grinding shell and the welding visor. The welding visor is rotatable between lower and upper positions. In the lower position, the welding view port is aligned with the grinding view port. In the upper position, the welding visor is rotated toward the back of the grinding shell such that the line of sight of the wearer is unobstructed by the welding view port. Interaction of the grinding shell, the connector and the welding visor, responsive to rotation of the welding visor between the lower and upper positions, provides a biasing force to urge the welding visor towards a selected one of the positions.
Abstract: The adapter comprises a clip with a groove, and a rack that engages with the groove. The clip attaches securely to an edge of a fabric, for example, a panel on a baseball cap. The rack includes an angle adjuster, on which a brow guard, welding helmet, or other protective gear can be mounted.
