Abstract

The present invention relates to a device to rotate a previously unrotatable receiver used with helmets, preferably aircraft helmets.

Claims (8)

1. A rotatable receiver comprising:

a receiver;

a position device having a base with at least two indentations and an extension protruding therefrom;

a housing having an aperture that receives the extension to allow the extension to connect to the receiver, the aperture has at least a first, second and third levels wherein the first level has an opening that is greater than the lateral extension of the extension, the second level has an opening greater than the lateral extension of the base so the base can rotate within the second level; and the third level has an opening greater than the lateral extension of the base and at least one projection, wherein the projection extends into at least one indentation when the receiver is removably secured in a desired position;

when the receiver is to be rotated, the base is positioned in the second level; and wherein the rotatable receiver is connected to a helmet.

2. The receiver of claim 1 wherein the base is spherical.

3. The receiver of claim 1 further comprising a resilient member between the base and the housing.
