Patent attributes
A hard hat with an integral communication system including a hat assembly and a communication assembly is disclosed. The hard hat has a visor and is secured around the head of a user with a head harness. The hard hat includes speakers and a microphone. Importantly, there is a control box having a microprocessor, a wireless communication module and a channel selector. There are buttons used to power on the communications system and to activate the microphone. Once a user is ready to communicate with another user wearing a similar hard hat and on a same communication channel, one of the buttons is pressed and the user can speak, which will result in the microphone picking up the sound and sending it to another user's speakers. Thereby allowing wearers of the hard hat to be able to communicate wirelessly effortlessly.
