Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ear loop for helmets. More particularly, the invention relates to a sporting helmet ear loop to which a chin strap may be connected.
  • an ear loop that allows a chin strap to move freely about the ear loop along restricted path, thus allowing the chin strap some freedom of movement while ensuring that its positioning remains within a secure and comfortable range.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a helmet with an ear loop according to prior art
  • FIG. 2 shows a blown up view of the ear loop of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 shows a side view of a helmet with an of an ear loop according to an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 4 shows a blown up view of the ear loop of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 shows an ear loop according to an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 shows an ear loop according to another alternate embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 shows an ear loop according to yet another alternate embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a prior art sporting helmet 2 having an ear loop 4 and a chin strap 10 (not fully shown).
  • the ear loop 4 is connected to the helmet 2 using connectors 6 going through corresponding helmet slots 8. Alternatively various other connectors or connection methods know to a person skilled in the art may be used as well.
  • the chin strap 10 is connected to the ear loop 4 by rolling its end around the chin strap 10 and sewing it back unto itself. Alternatively, the chin strap may be attached back unto itself using a pressure button, Velcro or any other such means.
  • Fig.2 shows a blown up view of the connection of the chin strap 10 to the ear loop 4. It may be seen in FIG.
  • the chin strap 10 may move freely about the ear loop 4 along a path 11 and, for example, displace itself up to position 10a, which in turn displaces the positioning of the chin strap 10 along and under the wearer's jaw and chin (not shown).
  • the ear loop may be provided with a feature for restricting movement of the chin strap along the ear loop.
  • FIG. 3 there is shown a sporting helmet 2 having an ear loop 5, according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a chin strap 10 (not fully shown).
  • the ear loop 5 is connected to the helmet 2 using connectors 6 going through corresponding helmet slots 8. Alternatively various other connectors or connection methods know to a person skilled in the art may be used as well.
  • the chin strap 10 is connected to the ear loop 5 by passing it through ear loop slit 12 and connecting it back unto itself, for example by sewing it.
  • the chin strap may be attached back unto itself using a pressure button, Velcro or any other such means.
  • the chin strap 10 may also use a looped member (not shown) or any other type of connector suitable for connection through the ear loop slit.
  • Fig.4 shows a blown up view of the connection of the chin strap 10 to the ear loop 5 through ear loop slit 12. It may be seen in FIG. 4 that the chin strap 10 may move freely about the ear loop 5 along restricted path 13, which allows chin strap 10 some freedom of movement while ensuring that its positioning remains within a secure and comfortable range.
  • another feature may be used for restricting movement of a chin strap along an ear loop, as described in some examples below.
  • ear loop 20 extending outwardly from a surface of ear loop 20.
  • One arrangement as shown, has protrusions 24, 26 extending downwardly from ear loop 20. Each protrusion may be alternatively located elsewhere on a surface of ear loop 20.
  • Chin strap 22 is connected to ear loop 20 between protrusions 24, 26 in the same manner described above with respect to FIG. 1 and 2.
  • Protrusions 24, 26 may be integral to ear loop 20, or be attachments secured to ear loop 20.
  • the connection of chin strap 22 to ear loop 20, such as by sewing chin strap 22 onto itself creates space around ear loop 20 such that chin strap 22 may move along ear loop 20.
  • Protrusions 24, 26 are of a dimension that, in combination the connection of chin strap 22 to ear loop 20, prevents chin strap 22 from moving past protrusions 24, 26 despite the space created by the connection.
  • chin strap 22 may move freely about ear loop 20 along restricted path 28, to allow chin strap 22 some freedom of movement while protrusions 24, 26 hold it within a desired position range between protrusions 24, 26.
  • FIG. 6 another alternate embodiment is shown. Therein, chin strap 32 is connected to ear loop 20 in the same manner described above with respect to FIG. 1 and 2.
  • Bridge 34 is also provided with ear loop 30. Bridge 34 may be integral to ear loop 30, or be an attachment securable to ear loop 30.
  • connection of chin strap 32 to ear loop 30 is between feet 35, 36 of bridge 34 to prevent chin strap 32 from moving past feet 35, 36 of bridge 34.
  • Chin strap 32 may move freely along ear loop 30 along restricted path 38, to allow chin strap 22 some freedom of movement while bridge 34 holds it in place within a desired position range relative to ear loop 30.
  • chin strap 42 is connected to ear loop 40 in the same manner described above with respect to FIG. 1 and 2.
  • Button 44 protruding from ear loop 40 is provided, and a complementary slit 46 in chin strap 22 is also provided and cooperates with button 44.
  • Slit 46 is dimensioned to cooperate with button 44 such that, when slit 46 is placed over button 44, chin strap 42 may freely move along restricted path 48 of ear loop 40 while chin strap 42 is also held in place within a desired position range relative to ear loop 40. Restricted path 48 is defined by the lateral size of slit 46.
  • strap 42 may be loosely coupled to ear loop 40 by one or more securing straps.
  • Each securing strap is connected at one end to chin strap 42 and at another end to ear loop 40.
  • chin strap 42 moves away in a direction from a securing strap's connection at ear loop 40, the securing strap becomes more taut and eventually, when sufficiently taut, prevents chin strap 42 from traveling further in that direction.
