Abstract
A helmet attachment device includes an attachment device for a helmet, the attachment device comprising a clamp including means forming a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the clamp includes an exterior, and a cam pivotally mounted to the clamp for movement between a released and clamped position to respectively disengage and engage the attachment device to the helmet.
Claims10
An attachment device for a helmet, the attachment device comprising:
- a first clamp including means forming a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the first clamp includes an exterior;
- a second clamp including means forming a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the second clamp includes an exterior;
- a cam and comprising a single unit, the single unit pivotally mounted between the first clamp and the second clamp for movement between a released and clamped position to respectively disengage and engage the attachment device to the helmet, wherein the single unit comprises a locking mechanism comprising:
- a movable latch adapted to disengage and engage the single unit,
- a spring operatively attached for the movable latch to disengage and engage the single unit,
- a lock to secure the movable latch, and
- a release mechanism allows for the release of the movable latch;
- and
- a mounting plate removably attached, respectively, to the exterior section of the first clamp and to the exterior section of the second clamp.
An attachment device for a helmet, the attachment device comprising:
- a first clamp including means forming a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the first clamp includes an exterior;
- a second clamp including means forming a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the second clamp includes an exterior;
- a cam pivotally mounted to the first clamp and the second clamp for movement between a released and clamped position to respectively disengage and engage the attachment device to the helmet;
- and
- a mounting plate removably attached, respectively, to the exterior section of the first clamp and to the exterior section of the second clamp.
An attachment device for a helmet, the attachment device comprising:
- a first clamp including means forming a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the first clamp includes an exterior;
- a second clamp including means forming a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the second clamp includes an exterior;
- a cam pivotally mounted to the first clamp and to the second clamp for movement between a released and clamped position to respectively disengage and engage the attachment device to the helmet;
- and
- a shroud removably attached, respectively, to the exterior section of the first clamp and to the exterior section of the second clamp.
A method of attaching from an attachment device for a helmet, the attachment device comprising a clamp including a “u” shaped lower section for receiving a portion of the helmet, wherein the clamp includes an exterior, and a cam pivotally mounted to the clamp for movement between a released and clamped position, comprising the step of:
- disengaging;
- and
- engaging the attachment device to the helmet.
An anchoring device for a helmet, the anchoring device comprising:
- a clamp, wherein the clamp attaches to the back of the helmet;
- an elongated member operably attached to the clamp for movement between a raised and lowered position, wherein the elongated member comprises:
- a top end, wherein the top end defines a groove,
- a bottom end, wherein the bottom end comprises two feet that extend horizontally and between the feet defines a slot,
- a narrow body between the top end and bottom end wherein the narrow body defines an opening along the body;
- and
- a cover, wherein the cover defines two wells, wherein the first well is at the far left side and the second well is at the far right side, wherein both extend vertically along their sides, wherein the feet are located at the bottom of the first and second well, respectively, the tensioner is housed within the cover, wherein the top of the feet captures the tensioner and engages the tensioner whereby the tensioner provides resistance for the elongated member.
