First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system for attaching a bump cap and a face protection member to a welding headgear comprising: a bump cap; a welding headgear comprising a strap and a pivot point; a face protection member directly attachable to the pivot point of the welding headgear to pivot relative to the welding headgear; and an attachment member, attached to an inner surface of a top of the bump cap, to attach the bump cap to the strap of the welding headgear; wherein when the bump cap, the face protection member, and the welding headgear are attached, the face protection member is pivotable, relative to the welding headgear and the bump cap, from a down position for covering a user's face to an up position for uncovering the user's face, and the bump cap is attached to and over the welding headgear with the attachment member. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the bump cap comprises the attachment member. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the attachment member comprises a snap, a clip, or a band. 4. A system attaching a bump cap to a welding headgear attached to a face protection member comprising: a bump cap; a welding headgear comprising a strap and a pivot point; an attachment member, attached to an inner surface of a top of the bump cap, attaching the bump cap to the strap of the welding headgear; and a face protection member directly attached to the pivot point of the welding headgear and pivotable relative to the welding headgear; wherein the bump cap, the face protection member, and the welding headgear are attached to one another with the face protection member being pivotable, relative to the welding headgear and the bump cap, from a down position for covering a user's face to an up position for uncovering the user's face, and the bump cap is attached to and over the welding headgear with the attachment member. 5. The system of claim 4 wherein the bump cap comprises the attachment member. 6. The system of claim 4 wherein the attachment member comprises a snap, a clip, or a band. 7. The system of claim 4 wherein the strap is disposed within a hollow interior of the bump cap. 8. A method of attaching a bump cap and a face protection member to a welding headgear comprising: disposing a welding headgear on top of a user's head; attaching a bump cap to and over a strap of the welding headgear using an attachment member attached to an inner surface of a top of the bump cap; and directly attaching a face protection member to a pivot point of the welding headgear so that the face protection member is pivotable relative to the welding headgear and the bump cap. 9. The method of claim 8 wherein the attaching the bump cap to and over the strap of the welding headgear further comprises disposing the strap on top of a user's head. 10. The method of claim 8 wherein the attachment member comprises a snap, a clip, or a band. 11. The method of claim 8 further comprising pivoting the face protection member relative to the welding headgear and the bump cap between a down position covering a user's face and an up position uncovering the user's face.
