Helmet having a temperature control mechanism for controlling the temperature

Abstract

A helmet adapted to control the temperature within the helmet is disclosed. The helmet contains therein a pipe designed to drive therein a cooled or heated liquid. The pipe is positioned with the helmet such that the pipe is in partial contact with the user's head body part when wearing the helmet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A helmet, comprising:
 a helmet shell, the helmet shell having an inner shape conforming a person's head body part;   a liquid container adapted to contain liquid, wherein the liquid container is structured with an entry point for the liquid and an exit point for the liquid;   a pipe being partially positioned within the inner shape of the helmet shell and transporting therein a liquid, the pipe having a first pipe entry point for the liquid to enter therein and a first pipe exit point for the liquid to exit therefrom, such that the pipe is to be in partial contact with the person's head body part when wearing the helmet;   a thermoelectric module configured to adjust the temperature of at least one surface connected to the thermoelectric module, the at least one surface is attached to the liquid container such that the temperature of the liquid within the liquid container is affected by the temperature of the at least one surface; and   a pump having an inlet flange and an outlet flange, wherein a second pipe entry point is connected to the inlet flange, wherein a second pipe exit point is connected to the outlet flange, wherein the pump when powered drives the liquid through the pipe and the thermoelectric module, such that the temperature of the liquid in the pipe is affected by the temperature within the liquid container.   
     
     
         2 . The helmet of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a power source configured to activate the pump and the thermoelectric module.   
     
     
         3 . The helmet of  claim 1 , wherein the pipe includes a plurality of hollow metallic components that are embedded within a plurality of sections of the pipe such that the metallic components are to be in at least partial contact with the person's head body part when wearing the helmet, wherein the pump when powered drives the liquid through the plurality of hollow metallic components. 
     
     
         4 . A detachable comfort padding for use with a helmet for controlling a temperature within the helmet, the detachable comfort padding comprises:
 a pipe mounted within the detachable comfort padding, wherein the pipe is partial contact with a head body part of a person wearing the helmet, the pipe having at least a pipe entry point and at least a pipe exit point adapted to accept a liquid flowing therein.   
     
     
         5 . The detachable comfort padding of  claim 4 , wherein the pipe is embedded within a designated slit of the detachable comfort padding. 
     
     
         6 . The detachable comfort padding of  claim 4 , wherein the pipe entry point is designed to insert a liquid into the pipe and the pipe exit point designed to remove the liquid out of the pipe. 
     
     
         7 . The detachable comfort padding of  claim 4 , wherein the pipe is connected to a pump and further connected to a liquid container. 
     
     
         8 . The detachable comfort padding of  claim 7 , wherein the liquid container is connected to a thermoelectric module. 
     
     
         9 . The detachable comfort padding of  claim 8 , wherein the thermoelectric module is configured to adjust the temperature of the liquid when the liquid is within the liquid container. 
     
     
         10 . The detachable comfort padding of  claim 9 , wherein the liquid within the liquid container is driven by the pump throughout the pipe. 
     
     
         11 . The detachable comfort padding of  claim 4 , wherein the pipe includes a plurality of hollow metallic components that are embedded within a plurality of sections of the pipe such that the metallic components are to be in at least partial contact with the person's head body part when wearing the helmet.
