Helmets for contact sports, such as those used in football, hockey and lacrosse, typically include a chin protector that removably secures the helmet on the wearer's head. Chin protectors include a central portion, such as a protective cup, that engages the wearer's chin and at least one elongated strap member extending outward from each side of the cup. Conventional chin protectors are detachable from the helmet to allow for easy removal of the helmet, and for maintenance of the chin strap itself. 3, record 3, English, - chin%20guard

Cet amortissement est constitué soit par le système de sangle placé à l’intérieur du casque, soit [...] par une couche de matériau compressible, comme du polystyrène, placé sous la calotte du casque. 5, record 4, French, - casque%20d%27alpiniste
