Abstract
A helmet for communications comprising: a helmet member for at least partially covering the user's head; a strap for extending around the user's lower jaw and thereby securing the helmet member to the user; wherein the strap comprises a transducer unit for contacting the user's lower jaw and thereby transmitting vibrations to the user.
Claims20
A helmet for communications, the helmet comprising:
- a helmet member for at least partially covering a user's head;
- a strap for extending around the user's lower jaw and thereby securing the helmet member to the user;
- a transducer unit attached to the strap and for contacting the user's lower jaw and thereby transmitting vibrations to the user;
- and
- a communication module operably coupled to the transducer unit and being adapted to receive an audio bearing electrical signal, and convert the audio bearing electrical signal to an electrical audio signal that is applied to the transducer unit, wherein the communication module is further adapted to communicate wirelessly with a mobile communication device, and wherein the communication module is within a chin guard.
