Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic part of a protective helmet, characterised in that the parts undergo a treatment in order to improve the technical specifications thereof, in particular the mechanical strength of a part of a protective helmet at low and high temperatures, said treatment comprising the application of ionising radiation to the parts.

Abstract: A helmet is particularly well suited for cold-weather use. The helmet includes a jaw shield that is detachable from a head portion. A breathing mask connects to the jaw shield via a mask adjustment mechanism that selectively axially moves the breathing mask toward and away from an inner surface of the jaw shield to precisely and accurately position the breathing mask against the nose and mouth of the helmet's wearer. A spring-loaded quick-release tinted shield is controlled by a lever that selectively raises and lowers the tinted shield. An eye shield pivotally connects to the helmet and is disposed in front of the tinted shield. An eye shield heating system on the eye shield electrically connects to the head portion of the helmet to provide electric power to the heating system.

Abstract: The invention concerns a protective helmet (1) consisting of a shell (2) designed to protect a user's head and comprising an inside lining (10) having a headband (5) with dimension adjustable by means of an adjusting device (6). The invention is characterized in that the adjusting device (6) comprises two grip members (7A, 7B) designed to be brought together or spaced apart manually by the user to vary the size of the headband (5).

Abstract: Protective helmet includes an outer shell adapted to protect a user's head. A connecting element is connected to the outer shell. At least a first shield is pivotally mounted to one of a journal and the outer shell. At least a second shield is pivotally mounted to the connecting element. Each of the first and second shields pivot with respect to the outer shell.

Abstract: A protective helmet of the type that includes a device for attaching a respiratory mask. This arrangement includes an arrangement for adjusting the position of the attachment device, enabling the positioning thereof in at least two positions and the attachment device is in one piece with an attachment part adjustably affixed to the shell of the helmet to enable modifying the position thereof.

Abstract: Protective helmet (1) of the type constituted by an outer shell (100) adapted to protect a user's head and having at least two protective shields that are rotationally mobile with respect to the shell (100), characterized in that a first shield (11) is rotationally journalled on the shell (100), whereas a second shield is rotationally journalled on an intermediary connecting element attached to the shell (100).

Abstract: A protective helmet of the type with an external shell and at least two protective shields, a first shield and a second shield, each pivotable with respect to the shell between two positions, i.e., between a low active position of use and a high active position of non-use, wherein the first shield is articulated with respect to the shell around a first pivot axis, while the second shield is articulated with respect to the shell around a second pivot axis, with the transverse pivot axis of the first shield differing from the transverse pivot axis of the second shield.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for use in a laparoscopic tubal cauterization for blocking the fallopian tubes of a patient. The device comprises a substantially tubular body member having a piston slidably mounted therein. A spring urges the piston to a first position relative to the body member. A button extends from one end of the body member for moving the piston to a second position against the urging of the spring. First and second electrodes are incorporated for either monopolar or bipolar treatment of the living tissue. The first and second electrodes are disposed to grasp the living tissue when the piston is in the first position and to release the living tissue when the piston is in the second position. The invention includes a circuit breaker for terminating continuity when the piston is disposed in the second position. An activating switch is disabled when the piston is in the second position.
