Embodiment Construction

[0014]Referring to FIG. 1, a conversion assembly is generally indicated at 10. The conversion assembly 10 can be secured to safety headwear, generally shown in phantom at 12. In this embodiment, the hard hat 12 is a piece of protective head gear commonly referred to as a hard hat or helmet, depending on the industry. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the hard hat 12 may be any type of head gear used in various industries requiring integrated electronics, such as in the military, industrial, or emergency environments, although not limited thereto.

[0015]The hard hat 12 has an outer shell 14 that is rigid and hard, commonly a plastic or polycarbonate. The outer shell 14 typically includes a protective, domed portion 16 and is designed to cover a person's head. The hard hat 12 may also include a brim 13 that extends outwardly from the protective dome portion 16. The outer shell 14 includes a periphery 18 that defines an opening 20 to receive the head of a wearer ...
