Definitions

  • the present invention relates to energy absorbent material.
  • the invention relates to relatively thin and lightweight energy absorbent material comprising two or more cones formed from an elastomeric material in which the cones have the property that, under impact, they collapse inwardly and thereby optimize the absorption of impact energy.
  • the ratio of the base diameter to the diameter of the upper surface of each of the cones is from 2.5 to 3.5, preferably from 2.7 to 3.3.
  • Energy absorbent materials according to the present invention may comprise any suitable number of cones, depending upon the dimensions of the individual cones and the use to which the energy absorbent material is to be put. In some cases, the energy absorbent materials may be produced in relatively large sheets and cut to the appropriate size and shape, depending upon the intended use.
  • the cones of the energy absorbent materials according to the present invention may be arranged in any suitable manner, for example in a single, one-dimensional line, but are preferably arranged in a two-dimensional array.
  • the two-dimensional array of cones may be irregular, i.e. the distances between the individual cones may vary in an irregular manner or the cones may be arranged in a regular two-dimensional array. Any suitable regular two-dimensional array may be used, but in a preferred embodiment the energy absorbent materials of the present invention comprise parallel rows of cones, preferably at least four rows of cones, each row comprising at least four cones.
  • the energy absorbent material according to the present invention is disposed upon the substantially flat lower layer, and the upper layer is arranged in any suitable shape to encapsulate the two or morecones, for example the upper layer may be shaped as a hemisphere or may be further shaped to more closely follow the arrangement of the cones.
  • the lower layer comprises a padded material and/or the upper layer comprises a thermoplastic material.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un matériau absorbant de l'énergie, et, en particulier, un matériau absorbant de l'énergie relativement mince et de faible poids, lequel matériau comprend deux cônes tronconiques ou plus formés à partir d'un matériau élastomère, les cônes ayant une propriété telle que, sous un impact, ils s'écrasent vers l'intérieur, et optimisent ainsi l'absorption d'une énergie d'impact. Les deux cônes tronconiques ou plus ont chacun un angle interne de 62° à 85°, une épaisseur de paroi de 0,8 mm à 1,8 mm et une hauteur de 10 à 20 mm.
