Helmet Protective Skin

Abstract

A replaceable helmet protective skin, which is adapted for covering an outer surface of a helmet, includes a skin body configured to attach and detach while in use fittingly cover the outer surface of the helmet as if part of the outer surface thereof in an edge-to-edge manner, wherein the skin body is formed a receiving cavity therewithin for fittingly receiving the helmet to cover the outer surface thereof. At least one adjustable fastener is preferably provided along an elongated opening of the skin body, so that the size of the receiving cavity of the skin body is able to be increased via opening the adjustable fastener for conveniently attaching and detaching when covering or removing the replaceable helmet protective skin. The adjustable fastener is able to be adjustably closed for securely fitting the skin body on the outer surface of the helmet.

         5 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said fastener is a double-sided tape. 
     
     
         6 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said fastener is a double-sided tape. 
     
     
         7 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said skin body further has one or more through holes provided at a position when said skin body covers at said outer surface of said helmet, said through holes are aligned with air vents of said helmet for enabling air flow entering into said air vents through said through holes of said skin body. 
     
     
         8 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said skin body further has one or more through holes provided at a position when said skin body covers at said outer surface of said helmet, said through holes are aligned with air vents of said helmet for enabling air flow entering into said air vents through said through holes of said skin body. 
     
     
         9 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said skin body further has one or more through holes provided at a position when said skin body covers at said outer surface of said helmet, said through holes are aligned with air vents of said helmet for enabling air flow entering into said air vents through said through holes of said skin body. 
     
     
         10 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said skin body further has a reflective portion provided at a predetermined location for maximizing a night visibility while said helmet is worn. 
     
     
         11 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said skin body further has a reflective portion provided at a predetermined location for maximizing a night visibility while said helmet is worn. 
     
     
         12 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said skin body further has a reflective portion provided at a predetermined location for maximizing a night visibility while said helmet is worn. 
     
     
         13 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said skin body further has a reflective portion provided at a predetermined location for maximizing a night visibility while said helmet is worn. 
     
     
         14 . A helmet protective skin for a helmet having a front opening, comprising:
 a skin body configured for detachably and fittingly covering an outer surface of said helmet, wherein said skin body has a receiving cavity for fitting said helmet therein; and   means for detachably affixing a front portion of said skin body at a side of said front opening of said helmet respectively.   
     
     
         15 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said means comprises at least a fastener provided along an inner side of a front portion of said skin body. 
     
     
         16 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 15 , further comprising an adjustable fastener provided at said edge notch of said skin body to close said opening at said rear portion of said skin body and to tightly align said peripheral edge of said skin body with a rear finishing rim of said peripheral edge of said helmet, wherein said peripheral edge of said skin body is aligned with said front and rear finishing rims of said helmet to form a gap that said peripheral edge of said skin body is received within said gap as if integrally formed at said outer surface of said helmet. 
     
     
         17 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said fastener is a double-sided tape for detachably affixing at said said of a said front opening of said helmet. 
     
     
         18 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 16 , wherein said adjustable fastener comprises a first connecting element provided at an outer side of said skin body along a bottom peripheral edge of said skin body and is located at one side edge of said opening, and a second connecting element outwardly extended from an opposed side edge of said opening to form an elongated strap to detachably fasten with said first connecting member so as to close said opening and tightly align said peripheral edge of said skin body with said finishing rim of said peripheral edge of said helmet. 
     
     
         19 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said skin body has a peripheral edge arranged for aligning with a peripheral edge of said helmet when said helmet received in said receiving cavity, wherein said peripheral edge of said skin body is an elastic edge for applying an elastic force along said peripheral edge of said helmet so as to retain said skin body in position. 
     
     
         20 . The helmet protective skin, as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said skin body further has a reflective portion to form a continuous circular pattern a predetermined location for maximizing a night visibility while said helmet is worn.
