The granted patent US12064000B2 describes a safety helmet designed with an innovative connection system for its inner lining. The helmet features an arched shell and an inner lining that directly contacts the user's head. A bearing structure is attached to the inside of the helmet shell, supporting the inner lining. The helmet incorporates at least two different types of connection units, each allowing for a detachable connection between the inner lining and the bearing structure. Each connection unit consists of a bearing structure-side component and an inner lining-side component, which must match in connection type to establish a secure attachment. This design prevents incompatible components from connecting, enhancing safety and functionality.

Further details of the patent highlight the geometric and dimensional differences between the connection components, which can include various positive-locking mechanisms such as snap connections or button connections. The connection units may feature projections and recesses that facilitate secure attachment when aligned correctly. The design also allows for portions of the inner lining components to be positioned between the helmet shell and the bearing structure, ensuring a snug fit. Overall, the patent outlines a safety helmet that combines structural integrity with user comfort through its versatile and secure connection system.
