DETAILED DESCRIPTION 10
[0009] Headgears are used in various endeavors, such as sports, police and military applications. Typically, military and police personnel carry variety of accessories, such as Night Vision Devices (NVD), lamps, face visors, oxygen masks, and cameras, during training. Such accessories provide additional capability to the headgear and/or additional protection to a 15 wearer of the headgear. Nowadays, these accessories are attached to the headgears to allow ease in movement of the police or military personnel by keeping their hands free to hold other equipment.
[0010] Presently, to attach the accessories to the headgear, holes are drilled in the headgear to fix an attachment system on which accessories may 20 be mounted. However, drilling of holes in the headgear compromise ballistic strength or protection capability of the headgear and the headgear may not serve its intended purpose. In addition, the wearer may have to carry additional tools for attaching and detaching the attachment system to the headgear. In addition, such attachment system may involve external 25 assistance. Besides, such mounting of the attachment system may be
4
cumbersome and time consuming for the wearer. In an alternate approach, the accessories may be attached to the headgear by means of an adhesive tape. The adhesive tape; however, may not support the accessories for longer duration of time. Moreover, in case of heavy accessories, the adhesive tape cannot be relied upon as the adhesive tape may be unable to hold the 5 weight of the heavy accessories.
[0011] Since geometry of each headgear is different for different size, the attachment systems should be as per a specific headgear geometry. Conventional mounting facilities are specific to the size of the headgear and do not fit on different sized headgears. 10
[0012] Approaches for mounting accessories on a headgear, especially a headgear employed by police and military personnel, are described herein. The present subject matter includes a multiple accessory connector system (hereinafter referred to as a connector system) for facilitating mounting of different accessories on the headgear. The connector 15 system provides a plurality of frames for facilitating attachment of multiple accessories to the headgear. The plurality of frames includes multiple slots that facilitate in adjusting the connector system as per the shape and size of the headgear. Further, the plurality of frames is detachably connected to each other. 20
[0013] In an implementation, the connector system includes a first slotted frame adapted to be mounted on the outer shell of the headgear. In an example, when the headgear fitted with the first slotted frame is worn by a wearer, the first slotted frame is positioned towards a ventral side of the wearer. Further, the first slotted frame may include a plurality of slots to 25 facilitate adjustment of the connector system across a periphery of the outer shell of the headgear. For example, based on the size of the headgear, the
5
connector system may be adjusted across the outer shell of the headgear. To attach accessories, a front bracket is disposed on the first slotted frame. The front bracket is configured to receive a first holder, such as a removable hook, to attach a plurality of accessories thereto. In an example, the first holder facilitates in mounting vision enhancing accessories, such as Night Vision 5 Devices (NVD), visors, and lights to the headgear.
[0014] The connector system further includes a second slotted frame having a left arm, a right arm, and a serrated channel connecting the left arm with the right arm. The serrated channel is disposed in a manner so as to allow adjustment of the connector system. For example, at one end, the 10 serrated channel is engaged by a latch which is disposed on either the left arm or the right arm. And at another end, the serrated channel is fixed at appropriate slots of the second slotted frame, to adjust the connector system according to the size of the headgear.
[0015] In an implementation, the second slotted frame is connected to 15 the first slotted frame by a pair of lateral frames, such that the second slotted frame is mounted diametrically opposite to the first slotted frame on the outer shell of the headgear. The pair of lateral frames is connected to appropriate slots of the first slotted frame and the second slotted frame to provide a tightly fit connector system. When connected together, the first slotted frame, the 20 second slotted frame, and the pair of lateral frames circumscribe an outer shell of the headgear. Accordingly, the connector system may be assembled without using external tools. This offers ease in handling (assembling or disassembling) of the connector system. In an example, each of the lateral frames is adapted to receive a second holder for holding one or more 25 accessories, such as an oxygen mask and a communication device.
6
[0016] Accordingly, the first slotted frame and the second slotted frame of the connector system facilitates in tightly fitting the connector system on the headgear. In addition, each of the first slotted frame, the second slotted frame and the pair of lateral frames facilitates in mounting multiple accessories on the headgear without drilling any holes in the headgear. 5 Therefore, the connector system maintains the rigidity and the ballistic strength of the headgear. Further, as the plurality of frames of the connector system is detachably secured to each other, assembling and disassembling of the connector system can be performed quickly and without additional tools or expertise. In addition, the first slotted frame and the second slotted frame 10 facilitate in adjusting the connector system based on the size of the headgear. As a result, the connector system of the present subject matter can be secured onto headgears of different sizes.
[0017] The present subject matter is further described with reference to the accompanying figures. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals 15 are used in the figures and the following description to refer to the same or similar parts. It should be noted that the description and figures merely illustrate principles of the present subject matter. It is thus understood that various arrangements may be devised that, although not explicitly described or shown herein, encompass the principles of the present subject matter. 20 Moreover, all statements herein reciting principles, aspects, and examples of the present subject matter, as well as specific examples thereof, are intended to encompass equivalents thereof.
[0018] FIG. 1 illustrates a top view 100 of a multiple accessory connector system 102 (hereinafter referred to as connector system 102), 25 secured to a headgear 150, according to an example implementation of the present subject matter. In an example, the headgear 150 is a helmet. In the
7
present example, the connector system 102 may be employed with a helmet for recreational activities, a helmet for defence applications, or with a helmet that may be used in any other activity which involves additional accessories. In an implementation, the connector system 102 may be secured to an outer shell 152 of the headgear. The connector system 102, as seen in FIG. 1, 5 circumscribes the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150.
[0019] In an implementation, the connector system 102 may include a first slotted frame 104 placed across a portion of the outer shell 152, such that the first slotted frame 104 is positioned towards a ventral side of a wearer. The first slotted frame 104 is coupled to a front bracket 106. The front 10 bracket 106 is configured to receive a first holder 108 for mounting an accessory. In an example, the first holder 108 may be a removable hook. In order to engage the first holder 108 with the front bracket 106, the front bracket 106 is provided with a latch (not shown). In an example, the first slotted frame 104is made of at least one of a High-Density PolyEthylene 15 (HDPE) material, a Nylon material, a Polyester material, and an Acetal material.
[0020] Further, the connector system 102 includes a second slotted frame 110 secured diametrically opposite to the first slotted frame 104, on the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150.

The latch 116 holds
8
the serrated channel 114 from one end and another end of the serrated channel 114 may be removably secured to an appropriate slot of the right arm 112-2.
[0021] In an example, the first slotted frame 104 and the second slotted frame 110 are connected to each other by a pair of lateral frames 118. 5 The pair of lateral frames 118 may be made of a polymeric material, such as Nylon 6, Nylon 6.6, Acetal, Polyester or any similar polymeric material. In an example, each of the lateral frames 118 is detachably connected to the first slotted frame 104 and the second slotted frame 110. Like the serrated channel 114, the pair of lateral frames 118 also facilitate in adjusting the 10 connector system 102 according to the size of the headgear 150. Details pertaining to adjusting the connector system 102 will be described in later paragraphs.
[0022] The above aspects and further details are described in conjunction with FIGS. 2A and 2B. FIG. 2A illustrates an exploded view 200 15 of a multiple accessory connector system 102, according to an example implementation of the present subject matter. In an example, the connector system 102 is designed to be mounted on an outer shell, such as the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150. FIG. 2B illustrates a side view 250 of an assembled multiple accessory connector system 102, according to an 20 example implementation of the present subject matter.
[0023] The connector system 102 may be understood as an attachment facility on which combat accessories may be mounted either directly or with the help of some connector. In an example, the connectors may include a NVD-mount and a picatinny rail. For instance, certain models 25 of flashlights may be mounted directly on the connector system 102;
9
however, other models of the flashlights can only be mounted on the connector system 102 through Picatinny rails or some different connector.
[0024] As described with respect to FIG. 1, the connector system 102 may include the first slotted frame 104 to be mounted on the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150. In an example, the first slotted frame 104 when attached 5 to the headgear 150 may be positioned above a forehead of a wearer. The first slotted frame 104 may include a plurality of slots 202-1, 202-2,…202-N, collectively referred to as slots 202 and individually referred to as a slot 202. In one implementation, the slots 202 may facilitate in adjusting the connector system 102 across the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150. In an example 10 implementation, the first slotted frame 104 may be made of a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) material or a Nylon material or a Polyester material or an Acetal material.
[0025] The first slotted frame 104 may include the front bracket 106 disposed at a central portion of the first slotted frame 104. In an example, the 15 front bracket 106 may be disposed at any region across the first slotted frame 104. The front bracket 106 is adapted to receive the first holder 108 to attach a plurality of accessories to the headgear 150. In an implementation, the front bracket 106 is provided with a latch (not shown) to engage the first holder 108. In an example, the first holder 108 may be a removable hook. The first 20 holder 108 may facilitate in mounting vision enhancing accessories, such as a Night Vision Device (NVD), a face visor, and a lamp to the headgear 150.
[0026] In an implementation, the front bracket 106 may be configured to receive the first holder 108 of different shapes, based on the headgear 150 on which the connector system 102 is attached. For example, the front 25 bracket 106 may receive the first holder 108 for an Advanced Combat
10
Headgear (ACH) as well as for a Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT) headgear.
[0027] The connector system 102 may further include the second slotted frame 110 having a left arm 112-1, a right arm 112-2, and a serrated channel 114. In an example, each of the left arm 112-1 and the right arm 112-5 2 is provided with a holding member 204 for mounting any accessory to the headgear 150. In an example, the holding member 204 may be a hook, a loop, a groove, and the like. In another example, the holding member 204 may be detachably mounted on the left arm 112-1 and the right arm 112-2. Further, the holding member 204 may be, for example, made from plastic, 10 stainless steel, or forge-hardened steel.
[0028] In an implementation, the serrated channel 114 may be disposed between the left arm 112-1 and the right arm 112-2 of the second slotted frame 110. In an example, either of the left arm 112-1 or the right arm 112-2 may be provided with a latch 116, such as a spring loaded latch. While 15 assembling, one end of the serrated channel 114 is connected to the latch 116 and the other end of the serrated channel 114 is connected to the opposite arm of the second slotted frame 110. Though the present subject matter describes that the serrated channel 114 is connected through the latch 116, it will be understood that the any other fastener may be employed 20 instead of the latch 116 for connecting the serrated channel 114.
[0029] Further, the latch 116 may be used for locking and unlocking the serrated channel 114 with the second slotted frame 110. Accordingly, the serrated channel 114 facilitates in adjusting the connector system 102 according to a size of the headgear 150. Thereby, the serrated channel 114 25 enables the connector system 102 to be used with any size of headgear 150.
11
In an example implementation, the serrated channel 114 is made of a mix of polypropylene and nylon materials.
[0030] In an implementation, the second slotted frame 110 is connected to the first slotted frame 104 such that the second slotted frame 110 is positioned diametrically opposite to the first slotted frame 104. In an 5 example, the first slotted frame 104 is connected to the second slotted frame 110 by the pair of lateral frames 118. In an example, the pair of lateral frames 118 is detachably or fixedly connected to the first slotted frame 104 and the second slotted frame 110. As may be seen in FIG. 2A, the pair of lateral frames 118 connect with the first slotted frame 104 and the second slotted 10 frame 110 by a fastening mechanism 206, such as a spring loaded stud. The fastening mechanism 206 offers ease in adjusting the connector system 102 across the outer shell 152. In addition, the fastening mechanism 206 facilitates in forming an integrated connector system 102.
[0031] The fastening mechanism 206, though described as a spring 15 loaded stud, may include any other fastener that provides ease in adjustment of the connector system 102. Further, each of the lateral frames 118 may be adapted to receive a second holder 208. In an example, the second holder 208 is a hook that facilitates in attaching accessories, such as oxygen mask, to the headgear 150. The pair of lateral frames 118 may be made of a nylon 20 or similar material.
[0032] In order to assemble the connector system 102, the front bracket 106 is slipped on to the first slotted frame 104. In an example, the front bracket 106 is positioned at a central portion of the first slotted frame 104. As mentioned previously, the front bracket 106 is configured to receive 25 the holder 108 so as to enable mounting of different accessories to the headgear 150. To attach the holder 108 with the front bracket 106, the holder
12
108 is aligned with the latch provided at a back portion of the front bracket 106. Once aligned, the holder 108 is pulled down such that the holder 108 is locked with the latch of the front bracket 106.
[0033] Thereafter, the first slotted frame 104 is connected to the second slotted frame 110 such that the second slotted frame 110 is 5 positioned diametrically opposite to the first slotted frame 104. In an example, when connected, the first slotted frame 104 is positioned on the outer shell 152 above a forehead of the wearer and the second slotted frame 110 is positioned on the outer shell 152 at a back side of a head (behind the forehead) of the wearer. 10
[0034] The connection between the first slotted frame 104 and the second slotted frame 110 is established by the pair of lateral frames 118. The pair of lateral frames 118 may be employed for mounting and tightening the connector system 102 on the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150. In an example, the pair of lateral frames 118 connects the first slotted frame 104 15 with the second slotted frame 110 by the fastening mechanism 206, such as a spring stud. The fastening mechanism 206 acts as a push button to provide ease in adjustment of the connector system 102 as per the size of the headgear 150. The fastening mechanism 206 also enables quick attachment of the connector system 102 onto the headgear 150 without utilizing external 20 tools for attachment.
[0035] Once the first slotted frame 104 and the second slotted frame 110 is connected, the serrated channel 114 is placed between the left arm 112-1 and the right arm 112-2 of the second slotted frame 110. In order to engage the serrated channel 114, one end of the serrated channel 114 is 25 coupled to the latch 116 and another end of the serrated channel 114 is coupled to an appropriate slot of the second slotted frame 110. Accordingly,
13
the serrated channel 114 facilitates in tightening the connector system 102. In an example, the connector system 102 is made of at least one of a nylon material, a polypropylene material, or a high density polyethylene (HDPE) material. Such a composition makes the connector system 102 slip resistant which facilitates a person to secure the connector system 102 onto the 5 headgear 150 even while wearing gloves.
[0036] FIG. 3 depicts another side view 300 of the multiple accessory connector system 102 secured to the headgear 150, according to another example implementation of the present subject matter. The side view 300 illustrates a lateral frame 118 connected to the first slotted frame 104 and the 10 second slotted frame 110.

The fastening mechanism 206 is configured to adjust, such as tighten or loosen, the connector system 102 based on the size of the headgear 150.
[0037] As depicted in the present figure, the lateral arm 118 may 15 include a hole 302 for receiving the fastening mechanism 206, such as a spring stud. Further, as mentioned previously, the first slotted frame 104 includes the slots 202. The slots 202 may be used for adjusting the connector system 102 based on the size of the headgear 150.
[0038] In order to mount the connector system 102 on a headgear 150, 20 for example, of extra-large size, the stud in the fastening mechanism 206 may be pressed such that the spring in the fastening mechanism 206 is disengaged from the slots 202. Thereafter, the hole 302 is aligned with a slot nearest to the lateral frame 118, such as the slot 202-1. Thereafter, the stud of in fastening mechanism 206 may be released such that the spring in the 25 fastening mechanism 206 is engaged with the slot 202-1. Likewise, the
14
fastening mechanism 206 may be adjusted to engage any of the slots 202-2 and 202-3, based on the size of the headgear 150.
[0039] In an implementation of the present subject matter, each of the lateral frames 118 may include one or more apertures, such as apertures 304. The apertures 304 may facilitate the pair of lateral frames 118 to mount 5 various accessories, such as a video camera, goggles, and communication systems, thereon.
[0040] Fig. 4 illustrates a method 400 for securing a multiple accessory connector system, such as the connector system 102, to a headgear, such as the headgear 150, according to another example implementation of the 10 present subject matter. The connector system 102 may be understood as an attachment facility on which combat gears or other accessories may be mounted either directly or with the help of some connector. In an example, the connectors may include a NVD-mount and a picatinny rail. Any number of the described method blocks can be combined in any order to implement the 15 method 400, or any alternative methods. Additionally, individual blocks may be deleted from the method 400 without departing from the scope of the subject matter described herein. The method 400 is described with reference to the connector system 102 of FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B.
[0041] At block 402, the method 400 may include placing a first slotted 20 frame 104 on an outer shell 152 of the headgear 150. The first slotted frame 104 may include a plurality of slots 202 to adjust the connector system 102 across a periphery of the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150. In an example, the first slotted frame 104 is mounted at a portion of the outer shell 152 such that the first slotted frame 104 is positioned towards the ventral side of the 25 wearer. In an implementation, a front bracket 106 is positioned at a central portion of the first slotted frame 104. In an implementation, the front bracket
15
106 may facilitate attachment of a first holder 108 to mount accessories, such as a face visor and a lamp.
[0042] At block 404, the method 400 may include placing a second slotted frame 110 diametrically opposite to the first slotted frame 104 on the outer shell 152 of the headgear 150. For example, the second slotted frame 5 110 is positioned towards a dorsal side of the wearer. The second slotted frame 110 may include a left arm 112-1, a right arm 112-2, and a serrated channel 114. In an implementation, each of the left arm 112-1 and the right arm 112-2 may be designed to have a plurality of slots or apertures to receive a holding member 204. In an example, the holding member 204 may be a 10 hook, a loop, a groove, and the like.
