<p>A helmet supporting device (11) has a base (10) comprising two limbs (12) and an interconnecting member (14) passing behind the user's neck. Spaced above the limbs (2) and the interconnecting member (14) is a helmet supporting abutment 20 having two forwards facing members (15) above the limbs (2, 12) and a rear curved section (16) above the interconnecting member (14). These parts (15,16) have a top surface (17), which is complementary to the underside or skirt (18) of the helmet. The top surface is 25mm wide, with a padded inner rim (19). This arrangement provides that when the device and the helmet are being worn, the skirt of the helmet's shell abuts against the surface (17). Two compression supports (21) act between the limbs (12) and the members (15) and two more such supports (22) act between the limbs at the interconnecting member (14) and the section (16). The supports are telescopic and pinned (23) at adjusted lengths. With the top surface (17) normally spaced close below the helmet skirt, with a typical clearance of 10mm, the user is free turn his head and the helmet from side to side.</p> |
