Embodiment Construction

[0034]FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a safety helmet 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the safety helmet 10 includes a non-opaque (allowing light to pass through, whether transparent, translucent, etc.) outer protective shell 20 through which the dynamic visual display 30 may be seen. The dynamic visual display enables a user 130 (FIG. 2) to display dynamic decorative designs 35 through or at the outer protective shell 20. The safety helmet 10 may also include a shield 40 to protect the face 120 (FIG. 2) of the user 130, a charging port 65, a communications port 75, a power switch 95, and a design control button 105. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the safety helmet 10 is a full-face safety helmet 10 having a protective section 140 over the user's chin. In alternate embodiments, the safety helmet 10 may be an off-road / motocross helmet (e.g., an elongated chin portion and a visor portion), a “flip-up” helmet, an open face helmet, a half helmet, etc.

Abstract

A safety helmet for displaying dynamic designs comprising: a non-opaque protective shell including an outer surface and an inner surface; an inner padding, including an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein a portion of the inner padding is surrounded by the inner surface of the outer shell; a dynamic visual display adapted to display one or more images or video, wherein the dynamic visual display is mounted inside the space defined by the inner surface of the protective shell and the outer surface of the inner padding, wherein the dynamic visual display fills a viewable surface as viewed through the protective shell; and a display controller in electronic communication with the dynamic visual display such that the display controller communicates the one or more images or video to the dynamic visual display and control the operation of the dynamic visual display.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application incorporates by reference and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 774,589 filed Mar. 8, 2013.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present subject matter relates generally to safety helmets. More specifically, the present invention relates to safety helmets having a dynamic visual display located in the shell.[0003]Safety helmets, such as motorcycle helmets, often have decorative designs on the outer shell to improve their aesthetic appeal. Prior decorative designs were static designs often printed or airbrushed onto the outer shell. If a user of a safety helmet desired to change a design, prior solutions required the user to apply new decals or airbrush a new design onto the helmet. Such prior solutions made changing the decorative designs on a safety helmet time-consuming, costly, and difficult to routinely accomplish. Further, prior solutions provided no mechanism to make decorative designs cha...
