HELMET SUSPENSION SYSTEM

摘要

Suspension systems for helmet assemblies provide enhanced stability and adjustability for installation in helmets across different platforms. A suspension system may include an upward stabilizing member extending from a support portion of the suspension system and a pivotally attached downward stabilizing member. The pivotal attachment between upward and downward stabilizing members allows the suspension to be appropriately incorporated into helmets that are subject to manufacturing and specification variability, while still providing flexibility for fit adjustments to the suspension system.

主权项

1. A suspension system for a helmet assembly, the suspension system comprising:
a support portion adapted to engage a wearer's head to help support the helmet assembly in an upright position on the wearer's head when worn; an upward stabilizing member extending upwardly from the support portion; and a downward stabilizing member pivotally attached to the upward stabilizing member at an upper end of the upward stabilizing member, and the downward stabilizing member extending downwardly from its pivotal attachment with the upward stabilizing member when the upward stabilizing member is extending upwardly from the support portion when the helmet assembly is in the upright position when worn.
