Description
VENTED HARDHAT
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Construction hardhats have long been known and used.
There is need for improvement to current designs. There are no patents or current designs in regards to integrated air vents.
VENTED HARDHAT
SL~I~ViARY OF 'THE INVENTION
Considered broadly, construction hardhats according to the invention are of the molded plastic or polymeric type. All current hardhats are designed to not include provision for the transfer of heat trapped within the upper area of the hardhat. Hardhats of this type are inefficient because the user of the hardhat can suffer from heat exhaustion due to the inability of the hardhat to allow heat dissipation. The disadvantages of current hardhat designs can be overcome by providing integrated vents on the outside of the hardhat.
Such vents permit heat dissipation and allow cooler air to pass over the head In the drawing, which forms part of this specification, Fig. l is drawing of a vented construction hardhat showing the integrated air vent design.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the advantageous embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig.l the air vent is comprised of (1), an opening to the interior of the hardhat and (2), a molded cover over the opening, allowing (3), the vent to allow passage of air. The vent is integrated into the hardhat and advantageously formed with the hardhat by injection molding of a suitable plastic or polymeric material.
