  • a through hole 91 extends between the outer surface 93 of the platform and the recess 86.
  • the through hole 91 enables a headed threaded fastener 95 to extend from outside the platform 12, and screw into the nut 84, through the item and through the platform 12, to clamp an item to the platform 12.
  • the recesses 86 are preferably complementary in configuration to the nuts 84.
  • the nuts 84 shown in Figs. 9 and 10 are hexagonal, as are the recesses 86. As a result, when the nuts 84 are press fit in the recesses 86, they are prevented from rotating relative to the platform 12.
  • Recesses 86 and nuts 84 can be located at various places on the platform 12. They can be located at predetermined places for mounting specific items in those specific places, as with the example of the picatinny rail 80. Alternatively, as shown schematically in Fig. 11, a number of the press fit nuts 84 can be located in a matrix 90 in a platform section, such as the section 14. This allows the user to customize where the user wants to mount an item on the platform 12; the user is not restricted to placing a given item in a given location on the platform section. Still further, the material of the platform can be molded to accommodate user-specific locations of press fit nuts.
  • one or more parts or areas of the platform can be provided with a plurality or matrix of closed cell locations which the user can pop out to accommodate one of the press fit nuts. In this manner, the user can selectively place an item in a location not specifically provided for during manufacture of the platform.

  • the frame 92 also has a portion that prevents water from dripping onto the inside surface of the shield.
  • the frame 92 is large enough to accommodate ESS-brand Interchangeable Component Eyeshield (ICE) 2X spectacles.

  • FSP Fragment-Simulating Projectile
  • the thickness of the lens 94, and its curvature, do not adversely affect outward vision.
  • the lens 94 is preferably coated with an anti-fogging and scratch-resistant film.
  • the face shield 20 is releasably attached (locked) to the platform 12.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une plate-forme de fixation destinée à être attachée à un casque muni d'au moins quatre trous de montage de suspension, ladite plate-forme comprenant une partie antérieure, une partie latérale gauche et une partie latérale droite. Une pluralité d'attaches principales viennent se fixer dans les quatre trous de montage de suspension formés dans le casque. La partie antérieure de la plate-forme peut être fixée seule au casque, à l'aide de deux premières attaches des attaches principales, qui s'étendent jusque dans deux premiers trous des trous de montage du casque. La partie antérieure et les parties latérales de la plate-forme peuvent être fixées ensemble au casque à l'aide des deux premières attaches des attaches principales qui s'étendent jusque dans les deux premiers trous de montage du casque et à l'aide de deux secondes attaches des attaches principales, qui s'étendent jusque dans les deux seconds trous de montage du casque. L'invention concerne également un nouvel écran facial et maxillaire muni de tiges de fixation.
