Definitions

  • the embodiments of the present invention generally relate to the field of helmets, and, more particularly, the embodiments of the present invention relate to a helmet that can be worn over a turban / hair bun.
  • Helmet is a protective device worn on the head to provide protection from various kinds of impact. Helmets are used in a wide range of applications such as, but not limited to, recreational activities, sports, construction, and defence applications such as police and military activities.
  • One of the common problems with the conventional helmets is that they cannot be worn by the people wearing turban / hair bun on their head. For example, it is widely known that majority of men in Sikh community wear a turban / hair bun to represent their faith. Due to the shape of turban / hair bun, it is difficult for them to wear the helmet on their head. This is a subject of concern as the turban / hair bun by itself fails to provide the necessary protection which is offered by the helmet.
  • An aspect of the present invention provides a helmet
  • Another aspect of the present invention provides a helmet that can be worn over a turban / hair bun;
  • Another aspect of the present invention provides a ballistic helmet that can provide protection against various ballistic and non-ballistic impacts.
  • a helmet for wearing over a turban / hair bun may include a shell that is configured to arrange over the turban / hair bun worn by a user.
  • the shell may be shaped similar to the shape of the turban / hair bun so as to cover the turban / hair bun when worn by the user.
  • the helmet may be a ballistic helmet.
  • the shell may be made of a ballistic material.
  • the ballistic material may be selected from the group consisting of High-performance polyethylene (HPPE), Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fabric, aramid fabric, high performance materials like nylon or the like.
  • HPPE High-performance polyethylene
  • UHMWPE Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
  • the ballistic helmet may be capable of providing protection against various ballistic and non-ballistic impacts.
  • the shape of the shell may be made similar to the shape of turban / hair bun at the time of moulding the shell.
  • the shell may have a modular structure such that the shape of the shell can be adjusted as per the requirement of the user.
  • the shell may be configured to support a frontal shroud and side rails for mounting various kinds of accessories.
  • Such accessories may help the user in combat scenarios.

  • the embodiments of the present invention relate to a helmet that can be worn over a turban / hair bun.
  • the helmet may provide protection to the people wearing a turban / hair bun over their head. It is commonly known that people in certain communities, such as the Sikh community, wear a turban / hair bun on their head.
  • the turban / hair bun is associated with the religious sentiments, and therefore it is kept worn throughout the day. Due to the presence of turban / hair bun, it becomes difficult for them to wear the conventional helmets, as the conventional helmets are made to directly fit on the head.
  • the helmet described herein tackles this problem and can be worn over the turban / hair bun thereby providing additional protection to the wearer.
  • Sikh soldiers in the defence forces require high level of protection against various ballistic and non-ballistic impacts during combat situations.
  • the Sikh soldiers use ballistic turbans as a means for protection.
  • the ballistic turbans are not capable of providing the necessary protection. Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention may provide protection to Sikh soldiers against various threats faced during a combat.
  • the helmet may be worn by any person wearing a turban / hair bun.
  • the helmet has been designed in such a manner that it arranges over the turban / hair bun.
  • there may be slight variation in the design of the helmet depending on the various types of turbans / hair bun.
