Field of application

[0002] The field of application of the innovation is that of civil construction, energy companies, sanitation, oil companies, mining, gantry cranes, chemicals, aviation, in other words, any segment that needs head protection to perform its daily duties. Persuasion

[0003] Currently, the use of cameras on construction sites for monitoring civil works and services for a wide variety of purposes is not uncommon, with greater emphasis on verifying the progress of activities according to the schedule, identifying errors and negligence, property security, etc.

[0004] The innovation has achieved such success that it is being applied to, for example, make public sector works more transparent by making real-time images of the progress of the works available to the general public.

[0005] In this context, new technologies capable of adding improvements to personal protective equipment aimed at assisting in the real-time monitoring of works are welcome in the segment in question. State of the art

[0006] The current state of the art includes some patent documents that deal with helmets with cameras, such as document BR 202015030732-8 entitled “CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT APPLIED IN A SAFETY HELMET WITH Petition 870230046310, dated 05 / 31 / 2023, page 4 / 19 2 / 5 "VIDEO CAMERAS EMBEDDED IN SPECIFIC COMPARTMENTS" - containing the installation of mini-cameras in various points and locations of the helmet and is characterized by having an embedded compartment between the shell and the inner protective lining, compartments in the lower part of said helmet called the "gallon," as well as a compartment in the front part of the sun visor, all of which are equipped with embedded mini-cameras and a retractable cover.

[0007] The helmet in the document above is used by motorcyclists and has the cameras embedded between the shell and the inner lining, which, in addition to making assembly difficult, does not guarantee the cameras' immobility under severe conditions of use. Another limitation of the prior art in question is that the cameras are not autonomous, making any type of online communication with remote locations and / or even internal storage impossible, thus rendering monitoring unfeasible.

[0008] Document FR 3020247 B1 entitled “HELMET IMPACT PROTECTION DEVICES WITH ANTI-COLLISION AND RECORDING VISUAL” - characterized by comprising on the one hand a plurality of micro nozzles located in one or more of its circular generators, to project outwards the radiation emitted by an integrated or coupled emitter and on the other hand a visual recording device consisting of at least one microcamera placed in its frontal area, to record in its memory the visual evidence of the environment.

[0009] The helmet in the document above uses only one front camera embedded between the shell and the lining, which is controlled by the radiation beams emitted by the micronozzles.

[0010] Document KR 101424417 B1 entitled “A HELMET HAVING A CAMERA” comprises a camera module mounted in a removable manner in a jaw portion of a helmet body; a wireless module; a data line for connecting the camera module and the wireless module embedded in the camera module and a power supply unit for providing power for operation of the camera module and the wireless module; the camera module is formed in an arc shape corresponding to the shape of a human jaw and has both ends Petition 870230046310, dated 05 / 31 / 2023, page 5 / 19 3 / 5 sides connected to the helmet body jaws by means of linkage, and a camera control board to control the operation of the camera device.

[0011] The document above uses a helmet-mounted camera module, which makes its construction complex, and the camera is not autonomous, requiring a power source and other peripherals for its proper functioning. Innovation objectives

[0012] The objective of the present innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to an industrial safety helmet with provisions for autonomous video cameras that allow for easy and safe installation of the cameras around it in cavities in the shell.

[0013] The objective of this innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to an industrial safety helmet with provisions for autonomous video cameras that, by providing 360° coverage, enables perfect monitoring of the work area.

[0014] The objective of this innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to an industrial safety helmet with provisions for autonomous video cameras capable of using any video camera on the market, provided it is compatible with the cavities.

[0015] The objective of this innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to an industrial safety helmet with provisions for autonomous video cameras capable of filming routine work and documenting irregularities, accidents, incidents, or any event that deviates from the normal working environment through video.

[0016] The objective of this innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to an industrial safety helmet with provisions for autonomous video cameras that may have as an accessory a retractable transparent protection to protect the camera lens.

[0017] The objective of this innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to an industrial safety helmet with provisions for autonomous video cameras so that, regardless of the segment, those responsible—directors, engineers, consultants, etc.—can see the progress of the works, the quality of the work, and all the safety involved. Petition 870230046310, dated 05 / 31 / 2023, page 6 / 19 4 / 5 PPE for each segment, etc., in a remote location, thus relieving the stress of quick trips and unnecessary travel to states, municipalities, and even countries to monitor tasks and check on the progress of the works.

[0018] The objective of this innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to an industrial safety helmet with provisions for autonomous video cameras of great constructive simplicity.
