Abstract
A protective helmet having a cover plate over a front vision area and a cover plate knock out assembly for moving the cover plate a predetermined distance away from the helmet so that a finger of a user can get behind the cover plate to enable its removal from the front vision area of the helmet. The cover plate knock out assembly comprises a step-shaped actuator element and a light blocking cover. The upper portion of the step-shaped actuator pushes the cover plate away from the helmet when the lower portion is pressed towards the cover plate. The cover plate is made of clear plastic and has a tendency, when slightly compressed and attached to the helmet, to push the upper portion of the step-shaped actuator into a resting position in the helmet.
