Helmet holder assembly
View Patent ↗A helmet holder assembly releasably supports a helmet on a rear end of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle. The assembly includes a mount having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter surface coupled to and extending between the first surface and the second surface. The second surface of the mount is configured for mounting to a vehicle. A holding member has a bottom perimeter edge and a peripheral wall coupled to and extending upwardly from the bottom perimeter edge. The holding member has a size and shape such that an outer surface of the holding member is configured to contour to and support an interior of a helmet thereon.

a pair of arms being coupled to and extending outwardly from said first surface of said mount, each of said arms having a first end and a second end, said first ends of each of said arms being coupled to said mount, said second ends of each of said arms being coupled to said holding member, each of said arms being curved between said first end and said associated second end.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising said outer surface of said holding member being convexly arcuate between a front side and a rear side of said holding member and between a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said holding member.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , further including wherein said holding member is comprised of a rigid material.
4. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising each of said arms having an upper surface being concavely arcuate between said first end and said associated second end.
5. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising wherein said holding member is angled relative to said mount such that a front side of said holding member is spaced below said mount and a rear side of said holding member positioned adjacent to said bottom perimeter edge is aligned with a top edge of said perimeter surface of said mount.
6. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising wherein said mount comprises a plate, each of said first and second surfaces of said mount being planar.
7. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of holes positioned in and extending through said first surface and said second surface of said mount, each of said holes being configured to receive a fastener therethrough for mounting said assembly to the vehicle.
8. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising each of said spaced rods being parallel with respect to each other.
9. A helmet holder assembly comprising:
a mount having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter surface coupled to and extending between said first surface and said second surface, said second surface of said mount being configured for mounting to a vehicle, said mount comprising a plate, each of said first and second surfaces of said mount being planar, a plurality of holes positioned in and extending through said first surface and said second surface of said mount, each of said holes being configured to receive a fastener therethrough for mounting said assembly to the vehicle;
a holding member having a bottom perimeter edge and a peripheral wall coupled to and extending upwardly from said bottom perimeter edge, said holding member having a size and shape such that an outer surface of said holding member is configured to contour to and support an interior of a helmet thereon, said outer surface of said holding member being convexly arcuate between a front side and a rear side of said holding member and between a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said holding member, said holding member being comprised of a rigid material, said peripheral wall of said holding member comprising a plurality of spaced rods, each of said spaced rods being parallel with respect to each other, each of said spaced rods extending between said front side and said rear side of said holding member, said holding member being angled relative to said mount when said second surface of said mount is mounted to the vehicle such that said front side of said holding member is spaced below said mount and said rear side of said holding member positioned adjacent to said bottom perimeter edge is aligned with a top edge of said perimeter surface of said mount; and
a pair of arms being coupled to and extending outwardly from said first surface of said mount, each of said arms having a first end and a second end, said first ends of each of said arms being coupled to said mount, said second ends of each of said arms being coupled to said bottom perimeter edge of said holding member, each of said arms being curved between said first end and said associated second end, each of said arms having an upper surface being concavely arcuate between said first end and said associated second end.
10. A helmet holder assembly comprising:
a vehicle;
a mount having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter surface coupled to and extending between said first surface and said second surface, said second surface of said mount being mountable on a rear end of said vehicle; and
a holding member having a bottom perimeter edge and a peripheral wall coupled to and extending upwardly from said bottom perimeter edge, said holding member having a size and shape such that an outer surface of said holding member is configured to contour to and support an interior of a helmet thereon;
said mount comprising a plate, each of said first and second surfaces of said mount being planar, a plurality of holes positioned in and extending through said first surface and said second surface of said mount, each of said holes being configured to receive a fastener therethrough for mounting said assembly to said vehicle;
said outer surface of said holding member being convexly arcuate between a front side and a rear side of said holding member and between a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said holding member, said holding member being comprised of a rigid material, said peripheral wall of said holding member comprising a plurality of spaced rods, each of said spaced rods being parallel with respect to each other, each of said spaced rods extending between said front side and said rear side of said holding member, said holding member being angled relative to said mount when said second surface of said mount is mounted to said vehicle such that said front side of said holding member is spaced below said mount and said rear side of said holding member positioned adjacent to said bottom perimeter edge is aligned with a top edge of said perimeter surface of said mount; and
a pair of arms being coupled to and extending outwardly from said first surface of said mount, each of said arms having a first end and a second end, said first ends of each of said arms being coupled to said mount, said second ends of each of said arms being coupled to said bottom perimeter edge of said holding member, each of said arms being curved between said first end and said associated second end, each of said arms having an upper surface being concavely arcuate between said first end and said associated second end.
