CLARENCEL.STOCKS,
of Blue Ridge, Georgia,
has invented a helmet which
offers complete protection to
a soldier's head. IU
is bell-shaped and con-
sists of an outer and
inner casing, the lat-
ter having attached to
its interior two head
bands to conform with
the shape of the head.
The helmet has flaring
lower edges to protect
the neck as
well as the
head. Two
sight openings
are provided
in front for
the eyes.
However, the
inventor has
not neglected
the wearer's
nose and
mouth. Two
shutters fit
snuglvagainst
the sight openings and are hinged to the
outer casing so that they may be opened
or closed as desired. U-shaped springs
between the inner and outer casings are
placed so as to reduce the shock from
shell - splin-
ters or bullets
which may hit
the helmet.
Theobjection
to this helmet
would seem
to be the
limiting of
the wearer's
vision, for
how canaman
see quickly all
around him
through two
small holes?
It would
certainly
be very hot
too.
