ABSTRACT:
An adjustable baseball batter's and catcher's helmet automatically adjusts and grips wearer's heads of differing sizes. The helmet has a rigid shell with shock absorbing foam pads secured to the interior of the shell. An elastic band or strap extends horizontally within the helmet and has a mid-portion secured to the back of the helmet. Arms of the elastic strap diverge forwardly and end in attachments under the front portions of the side pads of the helmet. The V-shaped elastic band snugly cradles and forwardly biases the helmet on the wearer's head and tends to space the helmet from the wearer's head at the sides and rear areas. The catcher's helmet is known as a half-hat, and in combination with a catcher's mask, provides the same function as the batter's helmet. The helmet is believed particularly useful in youth baseball leagues which have limited budgets and time to individually fit helmets to players' heads.
