  monitor keywords BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to helmets, more particularly, a helmet with a built-in storage compartment which permits a user to carry various objects, such as cellular telephones, keys, money, etc. within the compartment.

Currently, individuals engaged in physical activities wherein the use of a helmet is recommended or required, such as when skateboarding, bicycling, rollerblading or participating in other sports activities, typically do not carry personal objects, such as cellular telephones, keys, money, etc. on his/her person for several reasons.

Whenever a person is participating in a sporting activity, the use of his/her hands is limited, thus preventing the person from holding the objects. Therefore, many individuals find it desirable to carry the objects in his/her pockets. However, if the individual is participating in a sport which may result in the person falling or being injured, there is a risk that the objects in the pocket will also become damaged. In addition, there is a risk that the objects in the pocket will fall out when the person is participating in the sport. Thus, many individuals simply do not carry personal objects in his/her pockets when participating in various sports.

In addition, if the person is wearing clothing without pockets, such as a uniform or bicycle shorts, the option of carrying objects in his/her pockets is eliminated. Although fanny packs or backpacks may be used in lieu of pockets to carry items, many individuals find wearing these items cumbersome and inhibit the individuals movement.

If the individual does not carry the objects in his/her pocket or in a fanny pack or backpack on himself/herself, he/she oftentimes leaves the objects in a remote location adjacent to the area where he/she is participating in a sport. However, if the objects are left unattended, the opportunity for theft is greatly increased.

As the person is wearing a helmet while participating in the sports activity, it would be efficient to utilize a helmet having a built-in storage compartment to permit the user to carry various objects, such as cellular telephones, keys, money, etc. within the compartment.

The relevant prior art includes the following references:
