Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new invention with specific objectives. Its technical effects can be inferred from what is actually written in the text.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, there is no standard with respect to the Bluetooth headphones attachment manner, shape, or dimensions, and such a standard is not foreseen in the coming future.
However, this cavity and connector is suitable for a specific product shape, dimensions, and connector arrangement, a situation which may be suitable for a specific device model, but unsuitable for most of the other Bluetooth devices in the market.
However, this solution is not preferable, and suffers from various drawbacks.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]FIG. 1 shows a motorcyclist helmet 1 according to the prior art. The helmet shown is typical in its structure and is made substantially of three layers: an exterior rigid plastic layer 10, an intermediate energy absorbing soft layer (not shown), typically made of a foamed polystyrene (EFS), and a textile layer 11 which is made soft for the user convenience, such as for absorbing sweat, adaptation to the shape of the user head, etc. The shapes of the layers are specific to each helmet, resulting from safety, aerodynamics, and aesthetic considerations. In order to accept a Bluetooth headphones device 20, some helmets are provided with a helmet cavity 15. In said preferable cases, The helmet cavity is made of plastic, and it extends through or from the rigid exterior layer 10, and through the intermediate layer. In such preferable cases, the helmet cavity further includes an electronic connector 18 for enabling connection between a headphones device and earphones that are located...

Abstract

The invention relates to a replaceable adaptor for attaching a headset device to a helmet, which comprises: (a) a lower portion at a lower level having a shape suitable to be accommodated within a helmet cavity at the helmet; and (b) an adaptor cavity which is adapted to accommodate said headset device; wherein when a need is arisen to attach another headset having a different shape or dimensions to a same helmet, or when a need is arisen to replace the helmet by another helmet having a cavity of different shape or dimensions, said adaptor is replaced accordingly.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The field of the invention relates in general to the field of helmets accessories. More specifically, the invention relates to an adapter for attaching a headphone of any shape to a helmet having a cavity of a specific shape.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A headphones set (hereinafter, “headphones device”, “Bluetooth device”, or “Headset”) is widely used in combination with helmets, particularly when a hand-free operation of the headphones is desired. In a particular example, headphones are widely used in combination with helmets for motorcyclists, or other sport or leisure activities (although the following description discusses a specific example of a helmet for a motorcyclist, this example should not be viewed as a limiting example, as the invention may be used in conjunction with any type of helmet). In recent years, headphones devices for motorcyclists have been significantly improved, particularly when the Bluetooth protocol has become feasible. B...
