Abstract
A cushion for use in protective helmets, such as military helmets is described. The cushion comprises a hydrophilic foam core covered with a moisture wicking fabric.
Description
- This invention pertains to headwear, in general, and to a cushion for a helmet, in particular. The cushion is particularly well adapted for combat helmets and the like.
- Combat helmets currently in use have Kevlar or projectile resistant helmet that have a web type suspension. One problem with such helmets is that the web suspension rests on the top of the wearer's head. Many wearers, have shaved heads, or such short hair that the web suspension chaffs or rubs.
- It is highly desirable to provide a cushion that will be usable with combat helmets and the like that is comfortable and has anti-microbial, ant-bacteria, and/or anti fungal properties.
- In accordance with the principles of the invention, a cushion is provided for use in helmets. The cushion includes one or more hydrophilic foam bands or cores. Each foam band or core is contained within a fabric covering the foam band. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the fabric is a moisture wicking fabric. The cushion is removably attached to the suspension webbing of a helmet.
- In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the foam band is treated to be resistant to at least one of microbes, bacteria, and fungi.
- In the illustrative embodiment of the invention, the cushion is attached to the webbing of the helmet by means of hook and loop fasteners.
- In the sweat band of the illustrative embodiment the cushion comprises a plurality of strips carrying hook and loop type fasteners. Each of the plurality of strips is utilized for securing the sweat band to the web portion of a helmet such that the cushion is carried in the top of the helmet to cushion the head of a wearer from the suspension webbing.
- Still further in accordance with the principles of the invention, a helmet is provided comprising a protective helmet body. A suspension is carried within the helmet body. A cushion is removably carried in the helmet body proximate the suspension to cushion the top of the head of a wearer. The cushion comprises a cushion portion and an attachment portion. The cushion portion comprises one or more hydrophilic foam portions and covered with fabric. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the fabric is a moisture wicking fabric. The attachment portion comprises webbing affixed to the cushion portion and carrying a plurality of hook an loop fastener strips carried by the webbing for releasable affixing the cushion to the suspension.
- The invention will be better understood from a reading of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the drawing figures in which the sizes of and distances between various elements is not representative of actual physical sizes or distances between various elements, and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a bottom view of a helmet to which the cushion of the invention is particularly well adapted; -
FIG. 2 is bottom planar view of a cushion in accordance with the principles of the invention; -
FIG. 3 is a top view of the cushion ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is a planar view of a subassembly of the cushion ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 5 is a planar view of another subassembly of the cushion ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 6 which appears on the same sheet asFIG. 1 is a cross-section taken along lines 6-6 ofFIG. 5 ; -
FIG. 7 which appears on the same sheet asFIG. 1 is a cross-section taken along lines 7-7 ofFIG. 5 ; -
FIG. 8 illustrates the cushion ofFIG. 2 installed in the helmet ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 9 is a cross-section taken along lines 10-10 ofFIG. 9 . - Turning to
FIG. 1 , arepresentative helmet 700 to which the present invention is advantageously applied is shown in bottom view.Helmet 700 includes aprotective helmet body 701. Asuspension 703 is carried withinhelmet body 701 and includes aheadband 705.Suspension 703 includesweb portions 707 that are connected together bytie 709 that is used to adjust the fit ofhelmet 700 to a wearer. - A
helmet cushion 100 in accordance with the principles of the invention is shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 .Cushion 100 includes one ormore cushion portions 101 and one or morecorresponding attachment portions 103. In the illustrative embodiment shown Cushion 100 includes a plurality ofcushion portions 101 arranged to cushion each ofsuspension web portions 707. Eachcushion portion 101 is formed from a piece of moisture wickingfabric 111 such as COOLMAX® which is a high tech fabric available from Dupont. This fabric is made from specially engineered polyester fibers with an increased surface area. Thesurface 101 a of thefabric 111 in contact with skin pulls moisture away from the skin to its opposite surface. - The moisture wicking
fabric 111 is fabricated into a flat tube containing acore 107 shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 .Core 107 is hydrophilic foam that includes antibacterial, anti-microbial, and/or anti-fungal agents to eliminate odor and other unpleasant effects of extended use. The hydrophilic foam is commercially available. The foam has integrated therein water absorbent polymer crystals, such that the foam will absorb moisture such as sweat that is passed throughfabric 111. One source of such foam padding is Lendell Manufacturing, Inc. - By using a
moisture wicking fabric 111 in combination withhydrophilic foam 107, an extremelycomfortable cushion 100 that provides double moisture removal is provided. - Each
cushion portion 101 is formed to containfoam core 107 by folding thefabric 111 over foam pad orcore 107 and closing the ends and top of thefabric 111. In the illustrative embodiment of the invention, closure of the ends and the top is accomplished by sewing. - Cushion
portion 101 has affixed theretowebbing 103. The outer ends of eachwebbing 103 carries a hook and loop fastener, such as a Velcro™ loop strip 105. Eachstrip 105 has a hook portion on one surface and a loop portion on its other surface. - To install
cushion 100 inhelmet 700,cushion 100 is inserted intohelmet 700 withstrips 105 enteringhelmet 700 first. Cushion 100 is placed againstsuspension webs 707, with eachstrip 105 being proximate a corresponding onesuspension web 707.Strips 105 are then wrapped aroundwebs 707 and affixed to themselves.Strips 105 thus are used to releasably affixcushion 100 intohelmet 700. - It will be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art that the cushion may take on different configurations without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
- It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the helmet shown in the drawing figures is intended to be representative of a combat helmet, but the invention is not limited to any particular helmet shape or type. Still further, the invention is not limited to the particular suspension configuration shown in the drawing figures. The invention is equally applicable to different suspension configurations and suspension attachments to helmets.
- The invention has been described in terms of various embodiments. It is not intended that the invention be limited to the illustrative embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only by the claims appended hereto.
