Adjustable stabilization strap apparatus

A stabilization strap apparatus for a helmet, comprising:

• connectors so configured and sized as to be mountable on the helmet, each connector including a first pivotal interconnecting element and a first interlocking element;
• and
• a strap member having ends connectable to respective ones of said connectors, each said end including a second pivotal interconnecting element and a second interlocking element;
• said second pivotal interconnecting element being mountable in a pivotal connection to said first pivotal interconnecting element;
• said second interlocking element matingly corresponding to said first interlocking element;
• whereby each said end of said strap member is pivotable about said pivotal connection and lockable at different angular positions about said pivotal connection when said second interlocking element engages said first interlocking element at said angular positions;
• wherein:
• said first pivotal interconnecting element is an aperture and said second pivotal interconnecting element is a shaft;
• each connector includes a head wall, a helmet wall and a chamber, said aperture extending through said head wall and opening to said chamber for receiving said shaft;
• and
• said head wall includes channels extending from said aperture, consecutive channels defining deformable lip portions around said aperture, said deformable lip portions being so configured as to deform under a force applied in the vicinity of said aperture upon insertion of the shaft in the opening.

A stabilization strap apparatus for a helmet, comprising:

• connectors so configured and sized as to be mountable on the helmet, each connector including a first pivotal interconnecting element and a first interlocking element;
• and
• a strap member having ends connectable to respective ones of said connectors, each said end including a second pivotal interconnecting element and a second interlocking element;
• said second pivotal interconnecting element being mountable in a pivotal connection to said first pivotal interconnecting element;
• said second interlocking element matingly corresponding to said first interlocking element;
• whereby each said end of said strap member is pivotable about said pivotal connection and lockable at different angular positions about said pivotal connection when said second interlocking element engages said first interlocking element at said angular positions;
• wherein:
• said first pivotal interconnecting element is an aperture and said second pivotal interconnecting element is a shaft;
• each connector includes a head wall, a helmet wall and a chamber, said aperture extending through said head wall and opening to said chamber for receiving said shaft;
• said shaft includes a pin and a knob portion, said pin being pivotally mountable to said aperture while said knob portion is in said chamber;
• said aperture has a first dimensional configuration, said pin has a second dimensional configuration that is equal or smaller than said first dimensional configuration, said knob portion has a third dimensional configuration that is larger than said first and second dimensional configurations.

A connection assembly between a helmet and a strap comprising:

• a connector including a first pivotal interconnecting element and a first interlocking element;
• and
• a strap member having an end including a second pivotal interconnecting element and a second interlocking element;
• said end of said strap member being so configured as to be mountable to said connector via a pivotal connection between said first pivotal interconnecting element and said second pivotal interconnecting element, and said first and second interlocking elements being of the mutually mating male/female type extending parallel to said pivotal connection, the female element defining a cavity and the male interlocking element defining a prong-like key to project in the cavity and mate with the female interlocking element at a plurality of different angular positions about the pivotal connection such that said strap member is lockable to said connector at said different angular positions.

A helmet stabilization strap apparatus, comprising:

• a pair of connectors mounted to the helmet and each having a body including an aperture extending through said body and a lock defining locking indentations;
• and
• a strap member having two opposite ends, each including a prong-like key and a shaft protruding therefrom, said strap member being pivotally mountable to said pair of connectors via said shafts engaging said apertures respectively to form respective pivotal connections;
• wherein the prong-like key and the lock are of the mutually male/female type extending parallel to the corresponding pivotal connection, the lock defines a cavity enclosing the locking indentations and the prong-like key is structured to project in the cavity and is mateable with the lock at a plurality of different angular positions about the pivotal connection;
• whereby said strap member is lockable at the different angular positions with respect to said pivotal connections when said prong-like keys matingly engage said locking indentations at both ends of the strap member.
