Apparatus and system for transporting a helmet

Abstract

An apparatus and system are disclosed for transporting a helmet, the apparatus includes a pouch having four three-sided panels. Each three-sided panel is coupled to two adjacent three-sided panels along a first side and a second side of the three-sided panel to define a hemisphere shaped helmet receiving space in the pouch. A third side of each three-sided panel defines a rim of the pouch. The rim is positioned opposite an apex of the pouch and the apex of the pouch comprises a point at which a vertex of each of the four three-sided panels meet. Each of the four three-sided panels is made of a resiliently deformable material to adjust one of a size and a shape of the helmet receiving space. A harness is coupled to the pouch to facilitate transportation of the pouch.

1 . An apparatus for transporting a helmet, the apparatus comprising:
 a pouch comprising four three-sided panels, each three-sided panel coupled to two adjacent three-sided panels along a first side and a second side of the three-sided panel to define a hemisphere shaped helmet receiving space in the pouch;   wherein a third side of each three-sided panel defines a rim of the pouch, the rim positioned opposite an apex of the pouch, the apex of the pouch comprising a point at which a vertex of each of the four substantially triangular panels meet;   wherein each of the four three-sided panels is made of a resiliently deformable material to adjust one of a size and a shape of the helmet receiving space; and   a harness coupled to the pouch, the harness facilitating transportation of the pouch.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each substantially triangular panel includes at least two convex sides with each convex side coupled a convex side of an adjacent substantially triangular panel. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the resiliently deformable material of each of the four three-sided panels comprises an elastic material. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjusting member configured to adjust one of a size and a shape of the helmet receiving space. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a coupling member attached to the harness, the coupling member configured to removably attach the pouch to a portable object. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the harness comprises a first strap coupled to a first side of the pouch at a proximal end of the first strap, the first strap coupled to a first coupling member at a distal end of the first strap, the harness further comprising a second strap coupled to an opposite side of the pouch at a proximal end of the second strap, the second strap coupled to a second coupling member at a distal end of the second strap. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the first and second coupling members are configured to removably attach the pouch to a portable object. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the first coupling member is coupleable to the second coupling member to form a loop defined by the first strap, the second strap, and the pouch. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the harness comprises at least one shoulder strap. 
     
     
         10 . A system to transport a helmet, the system comprising:
 a portable object;   a pouch comprising four three-sided panels, each three-sided panel coupled to two adjacent three-sided panels along a first side and a second side of the three-sided panel to define a hemisphere shaped helmet receiving space in the pouch;   wherein a third side of each three-sided panel defines a rim of the pouch, the rim positioned opposite an apex of the pouch, the apex of the pouch comprising a point at which a vertex of each of the four substantially triangular panels meet;   wherein each of the four three-sided panels is made of a resiliently deformable material to adjust one of a size and a shape of the helmet receiving space;   a first coupling member coupled the portable object; and   a harness coupled to the pouch, the harness comprising at least one strap coupled to the pouch at a proximal end of the strap, the strap coupled to a second coupling member at a distal end of the strap, wherein the first coupling member removeably engages the second coupling member to secure the pouch to the portable object.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising a third coupling member coupled to the portable object, wherein the harness further comprises a second strap coupled to an opposite end of the pouch at a proximal end of the second strap, the second strap coupled to a fourth coupling member at a distal end of the second strap, wherein the third coupling member removeably engages the fourth coupling member to secure the pouch to the portable object. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the first coupling member is coupleable to the forth coupling member to form a loop defined by the first strap, the second strap, and the pouch. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein each substantially triangular panel includes at least two convex sides with each convex side coupled a convex side of an adjacent substantially triangular panel. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the resiliently deformable material of each of the four three-sided panels comprises an elastic material. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising an adjusting member configured to adjust the size of the pouch. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the harness comprises at least one shoulder strap. 
     
     
         17 . An apparatus for transporting a helmet substantially as shown and described.
