Benefits of technology

The patent describes a convector ventilating, cooling, or heating device / system / housing that is enclosed with a smoothly integrated cover that reduces or eliminates tangential impact induced rotational moments and is designed for good aerodynamics. The cooling or heating system contains a device within its housing, which can be either exposed on the rear of the headgear or covered and can be easily serviced. The cover is removable and can be knocked off if desired. If the housing is exposed, it can be designed to breakaway in tangential impact to reduce or eliminate rotating moments.

Problems solved by technology

Considerable discomfort can result from wearing a helmet, especially the full-face type, for even a short period of time particularly in warm or humid weather.

Abstract

A headgear apparatus for delivering temperature conditioned air including passively or actively cooled, heated, or ventilated air to the interior of a shell is disclosed. A device housing which enshrouds a device for providing temperature conditioned air is placed on a rear portion of the shell. The device housing has air inlets and air rejector vents for delivering fresh air to and removing heated air from the device, and is configured to reduce the heated air from re-entering the device through the air inlets. The headgear apparatus is designed to withstand impact forces without injuring the wearer.
