SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The objective is to at least alleviate the problems described hereinabove not satis-factorily solved by the known arrangements, and to provide a feasible safety helmet with helmet accessory attachment means that facilitate the detachment of accessories from the safety helmet.
The aforesaid objective is achieved by the embodiments of an arrangement in a safety helmet in accordance with the present invention.
The aforesaid objective is achieved according to the present invention, as claimed in claim 1.
Accordingly, in one aspect of the present invention, a safety helmet comprises -a body part, and -helmet accessory attachment means comprising a cavity for facilitating the detachment of accessories.
In one embodiment the cavity has the shape of a half circle. In one embodiment the cavity has the shape of a half ellipse.
In one embodiment the cavity is arranged on the inside of the helmet.
Accordingly, in another aspect of the present invention, helmet accessory attachment means comprises a cavity for facilitating the detachment of accessories.
In one embodiment the cavity has the shape of a half circle. In one embodiment the cavity has the shape of a half ellipse.
In one embodiment the cavity is arranged on the inside of the helmet.
The utility of the present invention follows from a plurality of factors depending on each particular embodiment. Some embodiments may enable easy detachment of accessories from safety helmets. The detachment of accessory parts may become easier because the user may easily access the accessory parts with his/her fingers.
The expression "a number of' refers herein to any positive integer starting from one (1), e.g. to one, two or three.
The expression "a plurality of' refers herein to any positive integer starting from two (2), e.g. to two, three or four.
Different embodiments of the present invention are disclosed in the dependent claims
