Abstract
A hard hat and related impact protection layer is shown. The hard hat includes one or more feature to improve support of the impact protection layer and coupling of the hard hat to the user. Various suspension mechanisms for hard hat outer shells and strap systems are described herein.
Claims20
A hard hat comprising:
- an outer shell formed from a rigid material;
- a coupling system coupled to the outer shell, the coupling system comprising:
- a suspension system configured to couple to the outer shell;
- a strap system configured to couple the suspension system to a head of a person, the strap system comprising a first strap;
- a clip coupled to the first strap;
- and
- a receiver, the receiver configured to mechanically and reversibly couple and decouple to the clip, the receiver is configured to rotatably couple to the clip such that the receiver is rotatable relative to the clip about a first axis when the receiver is coupled to the clip.

A hard hat comprising:
- an outer shell formed from a rigid material;
- a coupling system coupled to the outer shell, the coupling system comprising:
- a strap system configured to couple a safety headwear to a head of a person, the strap system comprising a first strap;
- a clip coupled to the first strap, the clip comprising a button;
- and
- a receiver coupled to the outer shell, the receiver configured to mechanically and reversibly couple to the clip to position the first strap below a chin of a user of the hard hat, the receiver comprising a housing defining an opening, wherein the button extends through the opening such that the housing peripherally surrounds the button of the clip when the receiver is coupled to the clip, wherein the button actuates to decouple the clip from the receiver.

A hard hat comprising:
- an outer shell formed from a rigid material;
- a coupling system coupled to the outer shell, the coupling system comprising:
- a receiver coupled to the safety headwear, the receiver defining a first longitudinal axis;
- a clip coupled to a first strap, the clip defining a second longitudinal axis, the clip configured to mechanically and reversibly couple and decouple to the receiver, the clip comprising a button that actuates along an axis perpendicular to the first and second longitudinal axes to decouple the clip from the receiver.
