Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a harness bracket and a helmet. BACKGROUND ART A helmet for a motorcycle includes various types of interior components attached to the inner side of a helmet body such as liners, interior pads, and harnesses of electronic devices. Patent Document 1 describes cheek pads as an example of such interior pads. Patent Document 2 discloses a helmet comprising a helmet body and an attached cheek pad. The interior components of the helmet body are attached to the inner side of the helmet body by supports welded to the helmet body. Specifically, tubular liner supports welded to the helmet body are fitted into fitting holes of the liners so that the liners are positioned relative to the helmet body. The cheek pads are hooked to pad supports welded to the helmet body so that the cheek pads are positioned relative to the helmet body. Harnesses are fixed to harness brackets, which are harness supports welded to the helmet body, so that the harnesses are positioned relative to the helmet body. CITATION LIST Patent Literature Patent Literature 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2018-115410Patent Literature 2: JPH 0299917U SUMMARY OF INVENTION Technical Problem The supports for supporting interior components are separately welded to the helmet body. In this case, the directions in which the welded supports project or the positions where the supports are welded may differ from the desired (ideal) direction or position. Thus, the supports may not be positioned relative to the supported subject at the desired (ideal) location. For example, deviation of the relative position of the harness bracket and a liner support from the desired position may result in force that is greater than the predetermined load being applied to the harness between the liner and the harness bracket when attaching the liner. Further, deviation in the relative position of the harness bracket and a pad support from the desired position may result in entrapment of the harness between the cheek pad and the harness bracket when attaching the cheek pad. As a result, attachment of the liner or the cheek pad may cause entrapment or breakage of the wiring of the harness. Solution to Problem A harness bracket according to one aspect of the present disclosure is attachableto a helmet body of a helmet. The harness bracket includes a base attachableto the helmet body. The base includes a first support that supports a harness, and the first support is configured to position the harness on the base. The base also includes a second support that supports a liner, and the second support is configured to position the liner on the base. The base also includes a third support that supports a cheek pad, and the third support is configured to position the cheek pad on the base. A helmet according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a helmet body and a harness bracket attached to the helmet body. The harness bracket includes a base attached to the helmet body. The base includes a first support that supports a harness, and the first support is configured to position the harness on the base. The base also includes a second support that supports a liner, and the second support is configured to position the liner on the base. The base also includes a third support that supports a cheek pad, and the third support is configured to position the cheek pad on the base. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a side view of a helmet according to one embodiment.Fig. 2 is a front view of the helmet of Fig. 1.Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a harness bracket in the helmet of Fig. 1.Fig. 4 is a perspective view of another harness bracket in the helmet of Fig. 1.Fig. 5 is a front view of a liner attached to the harness brackets in the helmet of Fig. 1.Fig. 6 is a front view of a cheek pad in the helmet of Fig. 1.Fig. 7 is a front view of the harness bracket of Fig. 3 to which a harness is attached. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS A helmet and harness brackets according to one embodiment will now be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 7. In Figs. 1 to 7, the forward, rearward, leftward, rightward, upward, and downward directions as viewed from a wearer of a helmet are used as a frame of reference for the forward, rearward, leftward, rightward, upward, and downward directions of the helmet. Helmet As shown in Fig. 1, a helmet 1 is a full-face helmet. The helmet 1 includes a helmet body 2 and harness brackets 10L, 10R. The helmet body 2 forms the shell of the helmet. The helmet body 2 is a hemispherical plastic member. The helmet body 2 is made of a material that is selected from, for example, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymers, polycarbonate (PC), thermosetting resin impregnated with reinforcing fibers, and the like. The helmet body 2 includes an opening 2a that is open toward the front. The opening 2a obtains a field of view of a wearer. A shield 3 serving as a light-transmissive plate member may be arranged
