Welding Helmet "Nests" Into Hard Hat When Raised, Providing Outstanding Balance & Comfort
NEW EXCLUSIVE: WELDING HELMET "NESTS" INTO HARD HAT WHEN RAISED, PROVIDING OUTSTANDING BALANCE & COMFORT
The new Speedglas® ProTop combination hard hat, welding helmet and auto-darkening lens system is especially designed for welders working in areas with overhead hazards, such as cranes, protruding beams and moving machinery.
The key to the Speedglas ProTop system is the exclusive pivot mechanism that connects the welding helmet to the hard hat.
Traditional welding hard hats create a very high center-of-gravity when the welding helmet is raised; as a result, the user feels off-balance, and the leveraged weight puts additional strain on neck muscles. On the other hand, the ProTop pivot mechanism has two sets of axes: one to lift the welding helmet away from the welder's face, and another axis to "nest" the welding helmet down low over the hard hat, in a balanced, locked-down position. The welding helmet automatically unlocks when the welder pulls it back down into position over the face. In addition to having a much more comfortable (lower) center-of- gravity, the nested welding helmet is much less likely to bump into obstacles as the welder moves around the work area. The special ABS hard hat has a low-profile that is excellent for entering space-restricted areas. Its short brim design means the welding helmet and lens are closer to the welder's face, which is ideal for precision welding.
More. The hard hat has a ratcheting headband for fast, secure, top-of- the-head sizing from 19.5 to 25 inches (50 to 64 cm). Its sweatband is made from terry cloth and soft foam, and its six- point webbing system provides excellent shock absorption and comfort.
The hard hat meets ANSI Z89.1 standards for head protection, while the welding helmet and auto-darkening lens meet ANSI Z87.1 standard for industrial eye and face protection. The ProTop welding helmet also has Hornell's exclusive "breathability" design, with aerodynamically-designed exhaust vents that reduce carbon dioxide, humidity and heat. As an option, the welding helmet is also available with the patented Speedglas SideWindows shade 5 lenses, which increase the welder's peripheral vision by 100%.
The ProTop welding helmet can be used with any Speedglas 9000 auto-darkening welding lens, from fixed dark shade models to the top-of-the-line Speedglas 9000X lens with five user-adjustable dark shade levels.
