Abstract:
A helmet which comprises a shell and cheek pads therein to contact cheeks of a wearer so as to restrict looseness of the helmet, said cheek pads including a cushion member having protrusions defining slant surfaces that are inclined downwardly from a shell side toward a wearer's cheeks in a thickness direction and are cooperatively arranged at a front or lower section of the cushion member for said cheek pads, whereby the surfaces of the cheek pads contacting a face of the wearer are larger than those supported at the shell side, and a soft plane-like member having a reduced extension or shrinkage is adhered to the slant surfaces so that extension or shrinkage of the cushion member near the slant surfaces is restricted and a desired strength is also assured at said protrusions.
