Embodiment Construction

[0011] Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIG. 1 depicts an associated operator 1 wearing a helmet shown generally at 2. The helmet 2 may be used in conjunction with operating a motorized vehicle, such as a motorcycle, automobile, bi-cycle and the like. But its use is not to be limited to vehicles. Rather, the subject invention can be used in any situation requiring protection of an operator head.

[0012] With continued reference to FIG. 1, the helmet 2 may be contoured to fit over the operator's head 1. While any configuration of helmet may be chosen, in the present embodiment, the helmet 2 may have a generally flat bottom 8 and a curved top portion 10. The interior 11 of the helmet 2 may also be fashioned so as to conform to a person's head. It any case, the novelty of the present invention is not limited by the shape of the helmet 2.

Abstract

A safety helmet for protecting a user head includes a shell extending about the perimeter of the user's head. The shell has multiple layers of material suitable for protecting a person's head in the event of a crash or other impact. A front opening is formed in the shell to allow the user to see while wearing the helmet. A separate access opening is included at the rear of the helmet which includes a channel member extending through the multiple layers.

Description

I. Background of the Invention [0001] A. Field of Invention [0002] This invention pertains to the art of methods and apparatuses of safety helmets and more specifically access holes in the safety helmet. [0003] B. Description of the Related Art [0004] It is well known in the art to provide a helmet for protecting a person's head. Helmets may take many forms, such as a hard hat for use in construction and other areas. Another usage of helmets may pertain to operating a motorized vehicle, such as a car or motorcycle. Still other uses may include wearing safety helmets while operating a bicycle, skateboard or other wheeled device. In this manner, helmets are known to protect a person from injury. [0005] One aspect of helmet usage relates to a person's hair and in particular to hair having a relatively long length. Typically, the operator or user of the helmet may pin up their hair if they know that they will be using a helmet. Others may simply allow their hair to extend out from the b...
