MODIFIED SENSOR MODULE FOR HEAD PROTECTION DEVICE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A62B9/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: present invention includes a modified sensor module for use with a head protection device comprising a helmet and a visor. Sensor module comprises a housing for sensors and a fastening mechanism. Housing for sensors comprises a head detection sensor to determine when the head protection device is worn. Housing for sensors also comprises position sensor to determine position of visor relative to helmet. Modified sensor module further comprises a fastening mechanism attached to the housing. Fixing mechanism is joined with the first hinged component of the hinge unit in the head protection device for the detachable installation of the sensor module in the head protection device, wherein the hinge assembly allows the visor to move relative to the helmet. Present invention can enable users of head devices to effectively modernize their protective devices for the head to determine when the visor of the head protection device is open. It is possible to confirm that the user wears a protective device for the head, in some cases due to the use of the head detection sensor.

EFFECT: this information allows managers of safety programs to make sure that users of protective devices for the head comply with requirements for wearing protective devices for the head.
