SIZING AND STABILIZING APPARATUS FOR BICYCLE HELMETS

摘要

A bicycle helmet is disclosed having a fleuble, articulated member (14) depending from the rear (12) of the helmet, providing a closer fit to an individual wearer's head and improving the stability of the helmet on the head, particularly for mountain bike riding. The articulated member (14) contacts die wearer's head beneath the occipital region and applies a forward and upward pressure against the head. The general embodiment of the invention includes an elastic strap (18) stretching from one side of the helmet, across the back of the articulated member (14), to the opposite side of the helmet. Adjusting this strap (18) allows the wearer to adjust the forward and upward pressure exerted by the articulated member (14) on the wearer's head.
