A helmet assembly includes a helmet having a stud, a chinstrap having a strap, and a connector attached to the strap. The connector includes a housing and an actuator. The housing has an underside with an opening sized to receive the stud through the opening into the housing. The actuator is movable within the housing between a first position in which the actuator engages the stud to retain the connector to the helmet and a second position in which the actuator disengages the stud to release the connector from the helmet. The actuator has a gripping portion extending outside the housing for operation by the user to move the actuator between the first and second positions.

1. A helmet assembly comprising: a helmet comprising a stud;a chinstrap comprising a strap; anda connector attached to the strap, the connector comprising: a housing having an underside with an opening sized to receive the stud through the opening into the housing, andan actuator movable within the housing between a first position in which the actuator engages the stud to retain the connector to the helmet and a second position in which the actuator disengages the stud to release the connector from the helmet,wherein the actuator comprises a gripping portion extending outside the housing for operation by a user to move the actuator between the first and second positions;wherein the actuator comprises a first portion and an opposing second portion that form a collar to engage the stud, in which both the first portion and the second portion are configured to move when the actuator is moved between the first and second positions;wherein the connector is positioned on the helmet to enable the chinstrap to engage the chin of a user; andwherein the helmet is configured to protect the user from impact to the user's head. 2. The helmet assembly of claim 1, further comprising a spring between the actuator and the housing, the spring biasing the actuator into the first position. 3. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the stud comprises an enlarged head, and wherein the actuator extends in its first position between the enlarged head and the helmet, such that the enlarged head is held between the actuator and the housing to retain the connector to the helmet. 4. The helmet assembly of claim 3, wherein the enlarged head of the stud comprises a tapered top surface, and wherein the actuator comprises a sloped bottom surface, the tapered top surface engaging the sloped bottom surface when the stud is inserted into the housing, the sloped surfaces being so arranged that forceful contact between them urges the actuator toward its second position. 5. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the stud comprises a recess, and wherein the actuator comprises a protrusion dimensioned to extend into the recess when the actuator is in the first position, to retain the connector to the stud. 6. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the gripping portion comprises a lug projecting from the housing for operation by a user. 7. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises first and second mating pieces, the actuator being located between the first and second mating pieces of the housing. 8. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the actuator rotates between the first and second positions about a pivot point. 9. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the actuator slides between the first and second positions. 10. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the stud comprises a step, and wherein the actuator comprises a portion that extends under the step when the actuator is in the first position. 11. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a top side opposite the underside, and comprises an opening in the top side, and wherein the gripping portion of the actuator extends through the opening in the top side for operation by a user. 12. The helmet assembly of claim 11, wherein the actuator covers the opening in the top side when the actuator is in the first position. 13. The helmet assembly of claim 1, wherein the stud extends outwardly from the helmet in a first plane, and wherein movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position is in a second plane generally perpendicular to the first plane.
