Abstract: An eye protective mask designed for the practice of outdoor sports, for example, includes an eye protective screen, a frame supporting the screen, and a comfort element affixed to the frame. The comfort element includes a nasal portion configured to come into contact with a portion of the user's nose, and a frontal portion configured to come into contact with a portion of the user's forehead. The material used for the nasal portion has different mechanical compression properties from the material used for the frontal portion, such that the maximum compression, or stroke, of the material of the nasal portion caused by a predetermined compressive force is greater than the compression of the material of the frontal portion caused by the same predetermined compressive force.

Abstract: A helmet including a structure for protecting the user's head, a comfort structure positioned between the user's head and the protective structure, and a customization structure arranged between the protective structure and the comfort structure, the customization structure making it possible to vary the inner volume of the helmet depending upon the user's morphology. The customization structure includes a thermoplastic envelope made of a polymeric material of the polycarbonate, polyurethane, or polypropylene type, to which an additive of the caprolactone type is added in order to lower the softening temperature thereof. The proportion of the additive in the material of the envelope ranges between 30% and 90% or between 50% and 80%. A free space can be provided between the envelope and the protective structure for the head, such free space remaining empty and having a depth ranging between 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm, such as approximately 3.0 mm.

Abstract: A protective helmet according to the invention includes an outer shell and a shock-absorbing cap arranged within the shell, the shell being formed by a thin shell. The shell is covered, at least locally, by a panel made of a flexible material, the panel being stretched against the shell and connected thereto at least one seam line along one of its edges. According to the manufacturing method, the outer shell is made, a panel of flexible material is prepared, the outer shell is then covered with the panel by at least one seam between an edge of the panel and the shell, and the inside of the shell is then fitted with the cap.

Abstract: A helmet for protecting the head having a rigid shell that includes a body, made of an expanded polystyrene type of material, for example, molded over an outer skin, the shell further including a rigid arch device, the arch device includes a headband applied to the shell, each of the ends of the headband being equipped with an ear-covering part. The ear-covering parts can include a foam cushion covered by fabric. The arch device can have two wings which cover the ear-covering parts and which extend the headband and which can also be provided with a chin guard joining the two wings together. The arch device can be either glued or releasably attached to the shell.
