Capacete M1
O capacete M1 é um capacete de combate que foi usado pelos
Capacete M1
militares dos EUA desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial até 1985,
quando foi sucedido pelo capacete PASGT . O capacete M1
tornou-se um ícone das forças armadas dos EUA, com o seu
design inspirando outras forças armadas em todo o mundo.

1980s in favor of the PASGT helmet,[18] which offered produzido
increased ergonomics and ballistic protection.

Following World War II, the M1 helmet was widely adopted or copied
by numerous other countries and its distinctive shape was adopted as
the NATO standard. Postwar analysis of wartime casualty figures by
the US Army Operations Research Office found that 54 percent of hits
to the M1 helmet failed to penetrate, and estimated that 70,000 men
had been saved from death or injury by wearing it.[19]

Design
The M1 is a combination of two "one-size-fits-all" helmets—an outer

The weight of a World War II–era M1 is approximately 3

Pennsylvania. After being
US soldiers in 1972 wearing M1 poured into fifteen-ton
helmets ingots (also called "heats"), the steel was divided into 216-inch
by 36-inch by 4-inch blocks, known as "lifts," which were then
cut into three equal 72-inch pieces to make them easier to
handle. The cut lifts were sent to the Gary Works in Gary, Indiana for further processing, after
which they were each reduced into 250 68-inch by 36-inch by 0.044-inch sheets, which were cut
into 16.5-inch circles. The helmet discs were oiled and banded into lots of 400 for delivery by rail
to McCord or Schlueter for pressing and final assembly.[20]

Each "heat" of steel was assigned a unique number by the smelter, as was each of its "lifts." When
each new heat was unloaded at McCord or Schlueter, it was assigned a sequential number, and
each lift within the heat was assigned a letter of the alphabet (for example, the third lift unloaded
of the forty-ninth heat received by McCord would be 49C). This unique "lot and lift" number was
stamped onto each helmet produced from the discs of a particular lift, and allowed for traceability
in case the helmets exhibited defects. The "lot and lift" number is in reference to the time when the
fabricator received the helmet discs, not when they were made into finished helmets. Lifts of heats
were not loaded onto or unloaded from railcars in any particular order, and were often warehoused
(also in no particular order) before being finished.[21]

The helmet discs were drawn to a depth of seven inches to create the rough helmet shape, or
"shell," and the edges were trimmed. The edge of the shell has a crimped metal rim running around
it, which provides a smooth edge. This is usually known as the "rim". The rim has a seam where the
ends of the strip meet. On the earliest shells the seam met at the front. This was moved to the back
of the rim in November 1944[22] At this time, the rim also went from being made of stainless steel
to manganese steel. On each side of the shell, there are stainless steel loops for the chinstrap. Early
World War II production shells had fixed, rectangular loops, and mid-war to 1960s helmets feature
movable rectangular loops. This feature was adopted in 1943 to address the problem that when
earlier helmets were dropped, the fixed loops were more susceptible to breaking off. Early shells
for paratrooper helmets feature fixed, D-shaped loops. The shells were then painted with flat Olive
Drab shade 319 (1941-1966) or Munsell Y10 green paint (1966 onward), with the paint on the
outside of the shell sprinkled with either finely ground cork (World War II era) or silica sand
(postwar).

World War II-production helmets feature sewn-on cotton web olive drab shade 3 chinstraps,
replaced gradually throughout 1943 and 1944 with olive drab shade 7 chinstraps. 1950s and later
production chinstraps are made of olive drab webbing attached to the loops with removable metal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_helmet 4/13
23/05/24, 21:46 M1 helmet - Wikipedia

clips. Nylon chinstraps were introduced in the U.S. military in 1975. These straps featured a two-
piece web chin cup and were fastened by a metal snap rather than buckle.[17]

Many soldiers wore the webbing chinstraps unfastened or looped around the back of the helmet
and clipped together. This practice arose for two reasons: First, because hand-to-hand combat was
anticipated, and an enemy could be expected to attack from behind, reach over the helmet, grab its
visor, and pull. If the chinstrap were worn, the head would be snapped back, causing the victim to
lose balance, and leave the throat and stomach exposed to a knife thrust. Secondly, many men
incorrectly believed that a nearby exploding bomb or artillery shell could cause the chinstrap to
break their neck when the helmet was caught in its concussive force, although a replacement
buckle, the T1 pressure-release buckle, was manufactured that allowed the chinstrap to release
automatically should this occur. In place of the chinstrap, the nape strap inside the liner was
counted on to provide sufficient contact to keep the helmet from easily falling off the wearer's
head.[23]

The design of the bowl-like shell led to some novel uses: When separated from the liner, the shell
could be used as an entrenching tool, a hammer, washbasin, bucket, bowl, and as a seat. The shell
was also used as a cooking pot, but the practice was discouraged as it would make the metal alloy
brittle.[24]

Liner
The liner is a hard hat-like support for the suspension, and is
designed to fit snugly inside the steel shell.

The first liners were produced in June 1941 and designed by


Hawley Products Company.[25] The suspension was initially
made from strips of silver rayon webbing stretched around and
across the inside of the liner. A sweatband is clipped onto
these, and is adjusted to fit around the head of the wearer.
Three triangular bands of rayon meet at the top of the helmet,
where they were adjusted by a shoestring to fit the height and
The interior of a M1 Helmet liner shape of the wearer's head. A snap-on nape strap cushioned the
liner against the back of the wearer's neck and stops it from
falling off. As the rayon had a tendency to stretch and not
recover its shape, the suspension material was later changed to olive drab number 3, and then olive
drab number 7, herringbone twill cotton webbing.

World War II and Korean War-era liners have their own chinstrap made from brown leather. The
liner chinstrap does not have loops like the shell; it was either riveted directly to the inside of the
liner (early examples) or snapped onto studs. It can still swivel inside the liner. The chinstrap is
usually seen looped over the brim of the shell, and helps to keep it in place when its own chinstraps
are not in use.

Early liners were made from a mix of compressed paper fibers impregnated with phenolic resin,
with olive drab cotton twill fabric stretched over the outside. They were discontinued in November
1942 because they degraded quickly in high heat and high humidity environments. They were
replaced by evolving plastic liners,[25] using a process developed by the Inland Division of General
Motors. These liners were made of strips of cotton cloth bathed in phenolic resin and draped in a
star shape over a liner-shaped mold, where they were subjected to pressure to form a liner. The
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_helmet 5/13
23/05/24, 21:46 M1 helmet - Wikipedia

initial "low pressure" process was deemed unacceptable by the Army, but accepted out of need.
These liners were made by St. Clair Manufacturing and Hood Rubber Company. Hawley, Hood,
and St. Clair's contracts were cancelled by early 1944, when a "high pressure" process which
produced better-quality liners became commercially viable. Companies which produced "high
pressure" liners during World War II included Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company,
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, CAPAC Manufacturing, Inland (whose molds were acquired
by Firestone after their contract was cancelled), Mine Safety Appliances Company, Seaman Paper
Company, and International Molded Plastics, Inc.[25]

Liners essentially identical in construction to "high pressure" World War II examples were
produced between 1951 and 1954 during the Korean War by the Micarta Division of Westinghouse
and CAPAC Manufacturing. In the 1960s, the M1 helmet liner was redesigned, eliminating the
leather chinstrap, nape strap, and changing the suspension webbing to a pattern resembling an
asterisk in a coarse cotton web material in lieu of the earlier cotton herringbone twill. In the early
1970s, suspension materials changed to a thicker, more flexible nylon with a rougher unbeveled
rim. Later changes included a move to a yellow and green material for liner construction.

M1 helmet liners intended for use by paratroopers had a different construction. The short piece of
webbing which held the nape strap at the back of the wearer's neck was extended around the sides
of the liner, and terminated on each side in A-shaped yokes which hung down below the rim of the
liner and had buckles for an adjustable chin cup made of molded leather. Two female snaps on the
inside of the liner above the "A" yokes accepted male snaps on each of the steel shell's chinstraps,
and helped to keep the liner inside the steel shell during abrupt or violent movements.

Accessories
In late 1942, the United States
Marine Corps used a cloth helmet
cover with a camouflage pattern
for its helmets. The cover was
made from cotton herringbone
twill fabric. It had a "forest green"
pattern on one side and a "brown
coral island" pattern on the other.

camouflage purposes. Most nets
during the Korean War in
1950
were acquired from British or Canadian Army stocks or cut from
larger camouflage nets. The Army did not adopt an official issue net
until the "Net, Helmet, with Band" that included an elastic neoprene
band to keep it in place.

After World War II, no new covers were issued and at the start of the Korean War, many soldiers
had to improvise covers from burlap sandbags or parachute fabric. A consignment of 100,000 olive
drab covers was dispatched to the theater, but the ship carrying them, SS Jacob Luckenbach,[26]
sank in a collision en route and they were all lost. In 1963, the Army and Marine Corps adopted a
reversible fabric cover called the Mitchel Pattern, with a leafy green pattern on one side and orange
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_helmet 6/13
23/05/24, 21:46 M1 helmet - Wikipedia

and brown cloud pattern on the other.[27]


This type was nearly omnipresent in Vietnam, where, for
the first time, the Army wore the cloth camouflage as general issue. In Vietnam, the green portion
of the reversible fabric camouflage was normally worn outermost. Helmet covers in the (European)
woodland camouflage, were designed for fighting in the European Theater of Operations (NATO),
and became the post-Vietnam (jungle pattern) camouflage cover used by the US military from the
late 1970s onward. The (European) Woodland pattern was not reversible; they were only printed
on one side, though some rare desert camouflage examples do exist. These covers were all
constructed from two semi-circular pieces of cloth stitched together to form a dome-like shape
conforming to the helmet's shape. They were secured to the helmet by folding their open ends into
the steel pot, and then placing the liner inside, trapping the cloth between the pot and the liner. An
olive green elastic band, intended to hold additional camouflage materials, was often worn around
the helmet to further hold the cover in place.

Other armies used these or similar covers printed with different camouflage patterns, or employed
entirely different methods. In the Dutch Army, for example, it was common practice to use a
square piece of burlap as a helmet cover on M1 helmets, usually secured by a net and a wide rubber
band.

During the Battle of the Bulge and Korean War, soldiers made white helmet covers as camouflage
in snowy areas. They were not issued to soldiers, so many soldiers simply made them from a white
cloth from a shirt or tablecloth.
