[0039] Reference Figure 1This diagram illustrates various aspects of a protective equipment system 110. The protective equipment system 110 includes a protective suit, shown as a helmet 300, and a user profile tag 140 attached to the helmet 300. In various embodiments, the protective suit, shown as a helmet 300, is configured for wear by a person. In various embodiments, the user profile tag 140 is attached to the shell 312 of the helmet 300. As will be explained, the helmet 300 includes one or more front slots 338, a central slot 340, and a rear slot 342, these slots being located, for example, on the sides of the helmet 300, and one or more of these slots, such as the front slot 338 and the rear slot 342, are configured to be attached to the user profile tag in various embodiments. In various embodiments, the user profile tag 140 is rigidly attached to the helmet 300.

[0040] Reference Figures 2 to 3 The diagram illustrates various aspects of a user profile label 140 and a mobile phone 160. The user profile label 140 is configured to interact with a personal electronic device, shown as a mobile phone 160, such as through electronic interaction. The mobile phone 160 includes a display 162 and an application 164 running on the mobile phone 160.

[0041] In use, user 282 uses mobile phone 160 to scan user profile tag 140, thereby establishing communication between mobile phone 160 and user profile tag 140. User 282 can then interact with application 164 to provide personal information 166 to user profile tag 140, such as user 282's name, date of birth, any allergies such as penicillin or latex, any medical conditions such as whether they have epilepsy, and the name and / or contact information (e.g., phone number) of any emergency contacts. After user 282 enters the information into application 164, mobile phone 160 transmits the information to user profile tag 140, for example via wireless communication (e.g., radio frequency, Bluetooth, near field communication), where user profile tag 140 stores the information in its memory. In various embodiments, application 164 displays an image on display 162 of mobile phone 160, and the image may include one or more pieces of information stored on user profile tag 140 from the various pieces of information that user 282 has entered into application 164.

[0042] Reference Figure 4User profile tag 140 for user 282 can be scanned by scanner 180. As an example, when user 282 enters and / or leaves the workplace, personnel 280, such as manager 284, can scan user profile tag 140 using scanner 180, which then transmits the relevant information to computing device 190, such as a server. In various embodiments, the information transmitted to computing device 190 includes user 282's identity and one or more of the aforementioned personal information 166.

[0043] In use, application 164 on mobile phone 160 can scan images of authentication completed by personnel to add them to a database, such as storing the information in computing device 190, thereby indicating that personnel 280 has scanned authentication. Personnel 280, such as manager 284, can view the authentication of other personnel 280 on mobile phone 160, such as communicating with computing device 190 via mobile phone 160 and / or with user profile tag 140 via mobile phone 160. Therefore, manager 284 can quickly track and verify whether personnel 280 on site have appropriate authentication (e.g., whether they have passed the cantilever lift authentication). In use, computing device 190 can track the validity period of authentication and remind personnel 280, such as manager 284 and / or user 282, when authentication has expired and / or is about to expire.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 If user 282 experiences a medical problem, such as fainting, personnel 280 can use their mobile phone 160 to scan user 282's user profile tag 140. Personnel 280's mobile phone 160 will then display one or more aspects of user 282's personal information 166 to personnel 280, thereby enhancing personnel 280's ability to assist user 282. For example, if user 282 suffers from epilepsy and experiences a seizure, personnel 280 can provide appropriate assistance to user 282, such as ensuring user 282 is not threatened by nearby objects. Furthermore, when emergency medical technicians (EMTs) arrive to assist user 282, they can share the personal information 166 obtained from the user profile tag 140.

[0045] In various embodiments, user profile tags 140, 240, and 260 are configured to electronically identify a person wearing a helmet 300 by being scanned, the helmet 300 being associated with user profile tag 140, user profile tag 240, or user profile tag 260. In various embodiments, user profile tags 140, 240, and 260 are configured to provide medical information about the person wearing the helmet 300 by being scanned, the helmet being associated with user profile tag 140, user profile tag 240, or user profile tag 260. In various embodiments, user profile tags 140, 240, and 260 are configured to provide one or more certifications possessed by the person wearing the helmet 300 by being scanned, the helmet being associated with user profile tag 140, user profile tag 240, or user profile tag 260.

[0046] Reference Figures 6 to 8 The user profile tag 140 of personnel 280 can be scanned by personnel 280, such as manager 284. This series of actions can be performed to obtain attendance, and the results can be displayed on the manager 284's mobile phone 160. Figure 7 and Figure 8 Attendance information can also be transmitted to a remote computing device 190, such as a server. The attendance of personnel 280 can be tracked, and if personnel 280 misses a critical meeting, such as a security training meeting, an alert can be sent to the administrator 284. Furthermore, the meeting attendance records of personnel 280 can be stored for later access.

[0047] Reference Figure 9 User profile label 140 and / or computing device 190 may store information about person 280, such as user 282. As an example, user profile label 140 and / or computing device 190 may store information about which certifications person 280 has obtained.

[0048] Reference Figures 10 to 13 This illustrates various aspects of user profile label 240. Apart from the differences discussed herein, user profile label 240 is substantially the same as user profile label 140.

[0049] User profile tag 240 is attached to helmet 300, for example, to a slot 338 of helmet 300. Specifically, clip 248 of user profile tag 240 is detachably and rigidly attached to slot 338 of helmet 300. User profile tag 240 includes a base 242 that attaches to cap 246, with electronics 244 located between the base 242 and cap 246. In various embodiments, user profile tag 240 and mobile phone 160 transmit wireless communication 142 to each other. In various embodiments, user profile tag 240 and / or user profile tag 140 are rigidly attached to slot 338 of helmet 300. In various embodiments, user profile tag 240 and / or user profile tag 140 are mechanically reversibly and rigidly attached to slot 338 of helmet 300. In various embodiments, electronics 244 are rigidly coupled to base 242 and configured to electronically identify a person wearing protective clothing to which user profile tag 240 is attached by electronic scanning. Connecting tabs 250, coupled to base 242, are configured to rigidly connect base 242 to protective clothing, such as helmet 300. Engaging surfaces 252 are configured to face upwards and abut against the surface of helmet 300 as connecting tabs 250 extend through slots 338, 342. Connecting tabs 250 are configured to rigidly and mechanically reversibly connect base 242 to helmet 300.

[0050] The clip 248 of the user profile label 240 also includes a connecting tab 250, which extends downward from the clip 248 (along the helmet 300) when the user profile label 240 is attached to the helmet 300. Figure 12 (As shown in the orientation) extends and passes through the front groove 338 or the rear groove 342. The connecting tab 250 serves as an anchor for the user profile label 240.

[0051] When the connecting tab 250 of the clip 248 is inserted into one of the front groove 338 or the rear groove 342, the resting surface 254 of the user profile label 240 abuts against the support surface 344 of the helmet 300, such that the helmet 300 supports the user profile label 240. Furthermore, the connecting tab 250 defines an engagement surface 252, which faces upward (along...) when the connecting tab 250 of the clip 248 is inserted into and extends through one of the front groove 338 or the rear groove 342. Figure 12 (as shown in the orientation) and engages with the downward-facing surface 346 of the helmet 300, thereby rigidly connecting the user profile label 240 to the helmet 300.

[0052] In this way, the user profile label 240 can be detachably and rigidly attached to either the front slot 338 or the rear slot 342, while other objects / helmet accessories can be attached to one or more of the front slot 338, the central slot 340, the rear slot 342, the front mounting ridge 356, and / or the rear mounting ridge 366. This arrangement allows multiple accessories to be attached to different locations on the helmet 300, while the user profile label 240 is also attached to one of the slots 338 and 342. Therefore, the user can choose which accessories, such as the user profile label 240, are attached to the helmet 300, and which slots 338, 340, and 342 are attached to.

[0053] Reference Figure 14 This illustrates various aspects of user profile label 260. Apart from the differences discussed herein, user profile label 260 is substantially the same as user profile label 140 or user profile label 240.

[0054] Specifically, the user profile label 260 includes an adhesive 262 that rigidly adheres the user profile label 260 to the object. As an example, the adhesive 262 can be used to attach the user profile label 260 to the housing 312 of the helmet 300. In various embodiments, the user profile label 260 is rigidly attached to the helmet 300 by the adhesive 262.

[0055] Reference Figures 15 to 16 This illustration shows various aspects of a protective work or construction helmet, shown as a safety helmet 300, according to an exemplary embodiment. The safety helmet 300 includes a shell 312. In one embodiment, the shell 312 is formed of a rigid material, such as a rigid polymer material. In various embodiments, the shell 312 is formed of one of the following: high-density polyethylene (HDPE), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), polycarbonate / acrylonitrile-butadiene / styrene (PC-ABS), and polypropylene (PP). The shell 312 includes an outer surface 314 and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a cavity sized to receive the head of a user and / or wearer (e.g., user 282).

[0056] The housing 312 also includes a plurality of holes or vents 334. The vents 334 extend through the housing 312 to provide fluid communication between the cavity and ambient air near the outer surface 314 of the housing 312.

[0057] The shell 312 includes a crown portion 322 and a bottom section 324 defining the lower circumference of the helmet 300. In various embodiments, an edge 326 extends radially outward from a portion of the lower circumference. In one specific embodiment, the edge 326 extends radially outward from the front portion 328 of the helmet 300, particularly the shell 312.

[0058] The helmet 300 includes one or more mounting ridges configured to engage with and / or support helmet accessories. A side accessory support ridge or auxiliary mounting ridge 336 engages along a bottom section 324 to a lateral side of the housing 312. The auxiliary mounting ridge 336 includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A plurality of holes or slots 338 are positioned along the auxiliary mounting ridge 336 between the first and second ends. The slots 338 are configured to receive a coupling mechanism, such as a clip, or part of a helmet accessory to engage the accessory to the housing 312. The auxiliary mounting ridge 336 supports accessories of the helmet 300, such as earmuffs, tool or eyeglass frames, lamp supports, face shields, and / or reflectors.

[0059] The helmet 300 also includes a front mounting ridge 356 located on the front portion 328 of the housing 312. This front mounting ridge includes a right edge 358 projecting outward from the front mounting ridge 356 and a left edge 360 ​​projecting outward from the front mounting ridge 356 opposite to the right edge 358. In one embodiment, the front mounting ridge 356 includes a stop 362 positioned between the right edge 358 and the left edge 360, and this stop 362 is configured to engage with an accessory mounting bracket (e.g., see...). Figure 1 The front mounting ridge 356 is connected to the housing 312 and / or the accessories. The right edge 358 and the left edge 360 ​​of the front mounting ridge 356 each extend toward the bottom section 324 of the housing 312. The right edge 358 and the left edge 360 ​​each include a portion whose width increases as the right edge 358 and the left edge 360 ​​approach the bottom section and / or the edge 326.

[0060] In various embodiments, the helmet 300 includes a second mounting spine or rear mounting spine 366 positioned along the rear portion 368 of the helmet 300. This allows a user to attach accessories and / or accessory mounting brackets to the front portion 328 and the rear portion 368 of the helmet 300.
