Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to protective helmets, and more specifically to removing pads within a protective helmet contacting a wearer while minimizing movement of the wearer’s head during removal.
  • helmets protect wearers’ heads from impact to provide wearers with protection from injury.
  • helmets protect participants in football and lacrosse from injury caused by impact to the participants’ heads.
  • Pads included in an interior of a helmet contact portions of a wearer’s head and aid to securing the helmet to the wearer’s head.
  • Many helmets include jaw pads positioned along an interior surface of the helmets and contacting a wearer’s jaw when the helmet is worn.
  • pads in a helmet’s interior aiding in securing the helmet to the wearer’s head may complicate removal of the helmet from the wearer’s head.
  • jaw pads are conventionally secured to a helmet through hook and loop fasteners or snap fasteners. If a jaw pad is to be removed from a helmet while a wearer’s head is in the helmet, conventional fasteners require prying the jaw pad away from the interior surface of the helmet to release the fasteners, which may cause undesirable movement of the wearer’s head that may increase a risk of injury to the wearer.
  • Pads, such as jaw pads, on an interior of a helmet contact portions of a wearer’s head to secure the helmet to the wearer’s head. In certain situations, such as when a head, neck, or spine injury has been sustained, minimizing movement of the wearer’s head while removing the helmet from the wearer’s head is desirable. However, contact between pads and portions of the wearer’s head securing the helmet to the wearer’s head may make removal of the helmet difficult without moving the wearer’s head.
  • pads may be removed from contacting the wearer’s head via various mechanisms that couple a pad to an interior of the helmet while allowing the pad to be removed from the helmet with minimal movement of the wearer’s head or minimal rotation or translation of the wearer’s cervical spine or occipital joint.
  • these mechanisms maintain attachment of the pad to the interior of the helmet under normal circumstances when inadvertent detachment would be undesirable.
  • an exterior surface of a helmet includes an opening
  • a pad assembly includes a fastener opening.
  • the pad assembly is a jaw pad to which a fastener opening is coupled through any suitable method.
  • the pad assembly comprises the jaw pad coupled to a receptacle plate that includes the fastener opening.
  • the opening in the helmet and the fastener opening in the pad assembly are aligned and a fastener is inserted into the opening in the helmet, which is configured so the fastener is also inserted to the fastener opening in the pad assembly (or in the receptacle plate) to secure the pad assembly to an interior surface of the helmet.
  • the fastener may secure the pad assembly to the interior surface of the helmet through any suitable mechanism, such as a threaded interconnection, a spring, an adhesive, or a cam retention feature.
  • the fastener is a snap post and the fastener opening of the pad assembly comprises a snap base into which the snap post snaps to secure the pad assembly to the interior surface of the helmet.
  • the fastener is removed from the fastener opening of the pad assembly, allowing the pad assembly to be repositioned relative to the interior surface of the helmet. As the fastener is accessible from the exterior surface of the helmet, the pad assembly may be removed from the interior of the helmet with minimal movement of the wearer’s head.
  • a removable adhesive is applied to a surface of the pad and the surface of the pad to which the adhesive was applied is affixed to the interior surface of the helmet.
  • the pad comprises a core material encased by a covering. An opening is created in the covering and the core material is removed from the pad via the opening, decreasing contact between the pad and the wearer’s head to allow the helmet to be more easily moved relative to the wearer’s head.
  • a connector is threaded through an opening in an exterior surface of the helmet into an opening in a pad so the connector is accessible from the exterior surface of the helmet.
  • Tension is applied to the connector to secure the pad to an interior surface of the helmet.
  • the connector is removed via the exterior surface of the helmet, allowing the pad to move relative to the interior surface of the helmet.
  • FIGS.1A and 1B are diagrams of external fasteners coupling a jaw pad to an interior surface of a helmet, in accordance with an embodiment.
  • FIG.2A is a cross-sectional view of a jaw pad coupled to an interior surface of a helmet, in accordance with an embodiment.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des tampons à l'intérieur d'un casque, qui sont en contact avec des parties de la tête d'un porteur pour fixer le casque sur la tête du porteur. Pour simplifier l'enlèvement du casque de la tête du porteur, une surface extérieure du casque comprend une ouverture et un tampon, ou une plaque de réceptacle, à laquelle un tampon est couplé, comprend une ouverture d'attache. L'ouverture dans le casque et l'ouverture d'attache dans le tampon sont alignées, et une attache est insérée dans l'ouverture dans le casque de telle sorte que l'attache est également insérée dans l'ouverture d'attache dans le tampon, fixant celui-ci à une surface intérieure du casque. Pour enlever le tampon de l'intérieur du casque, l'attache est retirée de l'ouverture d'attache dans le tampon. Étant donné que l'attache est accessible depuis la surface extérieure du casque, le tampon peut être enlevé avec un mouvement minimal de la tête du porteur.
