Abstract

A biometric sensor assembly measures biometric data of a wearer of a hardhat. The biometric sensor assembly includes a suspension harness to be removably secured to the hardhat. A biometric sensor is attached to the suspension harness in a way that allows direct or indirect contact with the wearer to enable measurement of the biometric data. The biometric sensor assembly also includes an electrical connection of the biometric sensor and the hardhat for data and power transmission.

Claims (10)

1. A biometric sensor assembly for measuring biometric data of a wearer of a hardhat, said biometric sensor assembly comprising:

a suspension harness to be removably secured to the hardhat;

a conductive pad removably secured to said suspension harness;

a plurality of biometric sensors attached to said conductive pad in a way that allows direct or indirect contact with the wearer to enable measurement of the biometric data; and

an electrical connection of said plurality of biometric sensors and the hardhat for data and power transmission.

2. A biometric sensor assembly as set forth in claim 1 including a feedback mechanism that provides feedback to user.

3. A biometric sensor assembly as set forth in claim 1 including a haptic motor fixedly secured to said conductive pad allowing direct or indirect contact with body of the wearer to provide feedback to the wearer.

4. A biometric sensor assembly as set forth in claim 1 including a cover removably covering said conductive pad, said plurality of biometric sensors, and a portion of said suspension harness.

5. A biometric sensor assembly as set forth in claim 4 wherein said cover includes a hole disposed adjacent a portion of said plurality of said biometric sensors to allow each of said plurality of biometric sensors requiring direct measurement to function and to measure the biometric data.

6. A biometric sensor assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said electrical connection is a plug and play connection.
