Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of helmets and in particular to a sports helmet which is characterized by two or more panel sections that cooperatively adjust to accomodate various head sizes.
  • Polymer foams are chosen because they are easily fabricated and because, unlike honeycombs, their ability to absorb energy is omni-directional.
  • a helmet designer empirically selects the density and thickness to meet standard impact-tests, which are at constant velocity (5 m/s) onto rigid anvils.
  • the liner thickness is limited by practicalities and, to some extent, styling.
  • Conventional helmets have almost the same liner-thickness: 20mm.
  • a typical helmet simply serves to increase the weight of the head relative to the neck muscles, which is well-researched cause of both soft tissue and bone injuries. More important for injuries, this additional weight increases the acceleration potential ((increased) mass x velocity) of the brain inside the cranium, after impact.
  • the helmet may include a generally dome shaped shell, the shell being formed from a semi-rigid material and sized and contoured to substantially cover the user's head.
  • the shell may include a top portion shaped to cover the top surface of the user's head and a plurality of panel portions.
  • the second side panel portion may also be connected to the top portion at the top region of the second side panel potion adjacent the front panel portion and shaped to extend down and around a second side of the user's head from the top region to the bottom region of the second side panel portion.
  • the rear panel portion may be connected to the top portion at the top region of the rear panel portion adjacent each of the first and second side panel portions and shaped to extend down and around the back of the user's head from the top region to the bottom region of the rear panel portion.
  • the helmet may further include a plurality of apertures formed through each of the plurality of panel portions adjacent each of the bottom regions.
  • the plurality of panel portions may each comprise relief sections adjacent the top portion and respective top regions and relief sections adjacent the respective apertures and bottom regions.
  • the helmet may include a generally dome shaped shell, the shell being formed from a semi-rigid material and sized and contoured to substantially cover the user's head
  • the plurality of panel portions includes a front panel portion 16 that has top region 18 and a bottom region 20.
  • the front panel portion 16 is connected to the top portion 14 at the top region 18 and is shaped from the top region to the bottom region 18 to extend down and around the user's forehead.
  • the plurality of panel portions also includes a first side panel portion 22 that has a top region 24 and a bottom region 26.
  • the first side panel portion 22 is connected to the top portion 14 at the top region 24 adjacent the front panel portion 14 and shaped from the top region to the bottom region 26 to extend down and around a first side of the user's head.
  • the plurality of panel portions also includes a second side panel portion 28 that has a top region 30 and a bottom region 32.
  • the second side panel portion 28 is connected to the top portion 14 at the top region 30 adjacent the front panel portion 14 and shaped from the top region to the bottom region 32 to extend down and around a second side of the user's head.
  • the plurality of panel portions each comprise top relief sections 64 adjacent the top portion 14 and respective said top regions.
  • the plurality of panel portions also each comprise bottom relief sections 66 adjacent the respective plurality of apertures and bottom regions.
  • the relief sections provide venting for the helmet 10 as well as providing a terminus for the non-linear edges discussed below.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un casque de sport pour protéger la tête d'un utilisateur de forces de choc ; le casque comprend une calotte dans l'ensemble en forme de dôme, la calotte étant constituée à partir d'une matière semi-rigide, avec des dimensions et un contour pour couvrir sensiblement la tête de l'utilisateur. La calotte comprend une partie supérieure façonnée pour couvrir la partie supérieure de la tête de l'utilisateur et une pluralité de parties de panneau. Chacune des parties de panneau comporte une zone supérieure et une zone inférieure et est raccordée à la partie supérieure au niveau de sa zone supérieure et façonnée pour s'étendre vers le bas et autour de la tête de l'utilisateur de la zone supérieure vers la zone inférieure. Sont prévus des moyens pour accoupler de façon réglable chaque partie de panneau de la pluralité de parties de panneau à la partie de panneau adjacente.
