A motor cyclist's helmet has a visor apertured at either side so that it can pivot on pivots projecting from the helmet. At one side, the aperture in the visor is elongate so that this side of the visor can be pushed forward, the visor being slightly deformed outwardly. A pin projecting from the helmet and received in a slot in the visor then permits the visor to be pivoted upwardly, which the pin and slot prevents when the visor is pushed back against the helmet. The visor can be operated by one hand, with the help of a projecting portion of the visor or a gripping member affixed thereto.

In a vehicle seat belt system having a shoulder or diagonal belt or belt portion, an auxiliary strap is positioned to extend generally upright on the front of the back portion of the seat, on the side from which the belt or belt portion extends downwardly. A connector for the belt or belt portion can be moved to a selected position along the strap to determine the effective position from which the upper end of the belt or belt portion extends. The auxiliary strap can be connected to the vehicle anchorages for the seat belt system where this is a three point or lap and diagonal system.

An inertial device is provided for location in a road vehicle independently of a seat belt retractor, and is arranged to actuate the locking mechanism of the retractor in response to a predetermined acceleration. The device may be operable in response to application of the vehicle brakes. The device may be associated with more than one seat belt and may be held electrically against a spring bias in the locked position, for release on sensing the predetermined acceleration.
