Abstract

An electrical power system for crash helmets is described, including a connector being disposed at an end of a visor, where the connector is configured to conduct electrical current, a switching system configured to control activation of the electrical power system, the switching system being coupled to the connector, and a distribution system configured to conduct the electrical current from the connector to the switching system, the distribution system being coupled to the visor.

Claims (31)

1 . A system, comprising:

a connector being disposed at a distal end of a visor, wherein the connector is configured to conduct electrical current;

a switching system configured to control activation of the system, the switching system being coupled to the connector; and

a distribution system configured to conduct the electrical current from the connector to the switching system, the distribution system being coupled to the visor.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a lighting system, the lighting system being coupled to the switching system.

3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising an imaging system, the imaging system being coupled to the switching system.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the switching system is configured to be remotely manipulated.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the distribution system is configured to mount to the visor.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to couple to a helmet system.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is weather-resistant.

8 . A power system, comprising:

a connector being disposed at a distal end of a visor, the connector being configured to receive electrical current;

a lighting system being disposed on a side of the visor, the lighting system being coupled to a first switch;

a camera system being disposed on the side of the visor, the camera system being coupled to a second switch; and

a conducting medium configured to conduct electrical current from the connector to the first switch and the second switch, the conducting medium being integrated with the visor.

9 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the conducting medium is disposed in a channel of the visor.

10 . The power system of claim 9 , wherein the channel is disposed on another side of the visor.

11 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the camera system is integrated substantially to an edge of the side of the visor.

12 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the lighting system is integrated substantially to an edge of the side of the visor.

13 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the connector is configured to couple the power system to a helmet system.

14 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the power system is configured to mount a helmet system.

15 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the camera system further comprises a digital camera.

16 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the camera system further comprises an antenna.

17 . The power system of claim 8 , wherein the light system further comprises a light-emitting diode.

18 . A visor system, comprising:

a connector configured to receive electrical current, the connector being disposed at a distal end of a visor, wherein the connector is configured to couple the visor system to a helmet;

a lighting system being disposed substantially to a first edge of a top side of the visor, the lighting system being coupled to a first switch mounted to the visor, wherein the lighting system is configured to provide illumination using a light-emitting diode;

an imaging system being disposed substantially to a second edge of the top side of the visor, the imaging system being configured to capture an image using a digital camera, the digital camera being configured to communicate with another system using an antenna, wherein the imaging system is coupled to a second switch mounted to the visor;

a conducting channel being disposed on a bottom side of the visor, the conducting channel being configured to house one or more electrical leads configured to conduct the electrical current from the connector to the first switch and the second switch; and

a helmet system configured to couple to the visor system, wherein the helmet system includes the another system.

19 . The visor system of claim 18 , wherein the helmet system further comprises another lighting system, the another lighting system comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes.
