Helmet with turn signal indicators

In a helmet for motorcycle riders and like applications, a turn signal indicator comprising first and second light emitting means disposed on opposite lateral sides of said helmet, means operable by the wearer of said helmet for selectively energizing and de-energizing said light emitting means, and light transmitting means extending within said helmet from each said light emitting means to a position adapted to be disposed adjacent to the wearer's eyes for indicating to the wearer operation of each said light emitting means.

In a helmet for motorcycle riders and like applications, a turn signal indicator comprising first and second light emitting means disposed on opposite lateral sides of said helmet, first means including first inertia switch means carried by said helmet so as to be responsive to tilting of a wearer's head in one lateral direction to initiate periodic energization of the said light emitting means on one lateral side of said helmet for indicating an intent to turn in said one lateral direction, and second means including second inertia switch means disposed and oriented within said helmet so as to be responsive to tilting of the wearer's head in a direction other than said one direction for terminating said periodic energization.
