  • Patent number: 10544926
    Abstract: A headlamp is disclosed with a lamp fitted with a light source; a headband allowing the fastening of the headlamp over the head of a user, where the headband has a constant length, symmetrical with respect to a median sagittal plane. The headband also has an alternation of rigid/semi rigid elements for allowing a deformation in the space and the adjustment on the user's head is presented. In addition, the headband has a rigid/semi-rigid front section allowing a certain deformability along a first plane (x, y), a rigid/semi-rigid intermediate section allowing a certain deformability along a second plane (x, z) and a rigid/semi-rigid rear section allowing a certain deformability along a third plane (y, z). The headband has elements for the attachment and the passage of an elastic link for constraining the deformation of the rigid/semi rigid headband within the three planes.

  • Patent number: 10533739
    Abstract: A headlamp which contains a lamp is disclosed, with a headband enabling the lamp to be held on the head of a user is presented. The headband has a rigid/semi-rigid front section supporting the lamp using a pivot liaison. The pivot liaison allows rotation having: a first amplitude of at least 0 to +30 degrees and preferably 0 to 45 degrees to provide appropriate illumination when the lamp is worn in a conventional manner around the head. A second amplitude ranging from at least 0 to ?45 degrees, and preferably 0 to ?80 degrees provides appropriate illumination when the lamp is worn around the neck without being inverted. The 0 degree inclination corresponds to the pivot of the lamp which generates a horizontal light beam when the headlamp is positioned on the head of a standing user with the eyes fixing the horizon.
