ABSTRACT:
Protective helmet device includes a helmet with a hard outer shell and a soft inner lining. In one embodiment, a tube inlet with multiple channels is coupled to the top of the outer shell, and is operative to allow the helmet to be connected to an air supply. In another embodiment, an insert on the inside of helmet contains multiple channels that are coupled to the tube inlet of the outer shell. Slots are contained in inner liner to allow air to flow from the air supply to the tube inlet, through the channels, and into the interior of the helmet. Air blows downward to keep carbon monoxide from coming up into the helmet, to keep air from blowing into the wearer's eyes, and to clear the shield.
