Patent number: 11019872Abstract: Disclosed herein are sports helmets having modular components. A modular component includes an eyewear adapter that is releasably attachable to the helmet and configured to interface with corresponding eyewear in an orientation that permits a wearer of the helmet to see through the eyewear. The eyewear adapter is configured such that, in use, the eyewear adapter enhances the fit or function of the eyewear relative to the use of the helmet and the eyewear without the eyewear adapter. A modular component includes electronics modules that can be mechanically and electrically coupled to the helmet. A modular component includes other functional modules that affect the aerodynamics of the helmet, the air flow of the helmet, the fit of the helmet, or the look of the helmet.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Anthony Calilung, Brian Andrew Lewis-Clark, Neil Wylie Ferrier, Chad Michael McKonly, Benjamin John Meunier, Ryan Neil Saylor, Eric Yoshinari

Patent number: 10687981Abstract: Provided herein are examples of headworn supports, such as eyewear, configured to provide passive venting by providing pathways between a lens and a frame and/or by providing a smooth anterior profile to allow a laminar flow of air on an anterior surface of the lens. The pathways through the frame and lens of the eyewear can be configured such that they do not provide a direct path to the eye of a wearer. The headworn supports provided herein can provide venting while reducing or preventing unwanted light, particles, or other debris from contacting the eye of the user. The headworn supports can also be configured to exhibit excellent ballistic performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Anthony Calilung, Nathan Eino Heronen, Steven G. Oldham, Andrew Overton Wallace, Eric Yoshinari
