Abstract: A nozzle is usable to inflate a film having two sides that form a common channel and inflatable channels. The inflatable channels are in fluid communication with the common channel. The nozzle includes a proximal end configured to separate the two sides of the film to open the common channel as the film moves in a longitudinal direction. The nozzle includes a distal end configured to permit the two sides of the film to converge as the film moves in the longitudinal direction. The nozzle includes a slot configured to direct gas transversely into the common channel to inflate the inflatable channels as the film moves in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: For improved visibility of an individual wearing a helmet to which a personal headlamp is attached by an adjustable band, a flexible strip carrying a series of light-emitting devices and/or reflectors is removably attached to the adjustable band by means of connectors which are adjustably movable along at least a portion of the length of the band. The light-emitting devices are supplied with power from the same electrochemical power source that operates the headlamp but controlled independently of the headlamp.
