Description

Helmet damping system

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to damping systems for the deceleration of rotational head movement in helmets and headgear with a solid, but breakable, outer shell, used in sports, including recreational sports.

Background of the Invention

The avoidance or reduction of the possibility of injury to the cranium and brain present during most sport and work activities require the use of a helmet. This safety equipment mostly consists of a solid, outer shell, often made of plastic or composite materials, and from energy absorbing layers called inserts. In most cases, a softer plastic or other similar lining forms this insert. Currently, safety helmets must be designed in a way, which fulfils the prescribed, legal requirements, which include, among other things, the maximum acceleration that can occur at the centre of gravity of the brain at the specified load. Typically, tests are performed, in which the mock cranium, equipped with a helmet, is submitted to a radial strike to the head. Modern helmets have acceptable capabilities to absorb energy in the case of a radial strike to the skull. Although, the absorption of energy in other directions of the strike are usually less than optimal.

In the case of a radial impact, the movement of the head is accelerated in translational motion, which leads to the linear acceleration of the head. Translational acceleration can result in a fractured cranium and/or pressure to the brain tissue or the actual injuring of the brain tissue. Nevertheless, according to injury statistics, clean radial impacts are rare. On the other hand, a clean tangential impact, which results in the angular acceleration of the head, is also rare.

The most common type of impact is a slanted impact, which is a combination of radial and tangential forces, both partly affecting the head, which causes concussions, for example. The rotational acceleration of the cranium causes injury to the body elements, which connect the brain to the cranium and also injury to the brain itself.

An example of rotational injuries on one hand is subdural hematoma, SDH, a haemorrhage resulting from a tom blood vessel, and on the other, diffuse axonal injury, DAI, which can be summarized as the elongation of the neural fibres resulting from the brain tissue pattern having been highly deformed. Depending on the rotational force properties, such as amplitude length and growth rate, either SDH or DAI or a combination of both occurs. Generally, SDH occurs in cases of short durations and with a large amplitude, whereas DAI occurs in cases of longer and wider load accelerations.

Although, the head does have natural protective systems, which strive to dampen any deforming forces with the hardness of the cranium and the cerebrospinal fluid beneath it. When the cranium is impacted, the cerebrospinal fluid acts as a rotational, impact damper.

Most currently used helmets provide adequate protection against direct and perpendicular impacts, but provide lesser protection against stronger impacts, angled askew to the head and leading to the rotational injury of the head, especially the brain.

One solution, which partially protects the head against rotational injury, is the solution according to pat. US 8578520, in which a helmet is described, having a hard shell containing energy absorbing layers and sliding elements. These sliding elements are also connected to the inner side of the energy absorbing layers, and so during a slanted impact, only these sliding elements move, not the entire inner, energy absorbing layer. Another known solution for a protective helmet is the solution made by pat. W02006005143, where a protective helmet is described having an outer layer and an inner layer for the contact of the user’s head, further containing a middle layer, made from an anisotropic, cellular material, which has a relatively low resistance to deformation resulting from tangential forces to the helmet. Anisotropic material can be of a foam or honeycomb material. The foam is preferably a closed cell foam. This helmet allows the partial interruption of the tangential effects on the helmet, causing lower rotational acceleration or the deceleration of the wearer's head, when compared to the use of an isotropic foam helmet, while also allowing a substantial amount of rotational energy to be absorbed.

The file, DE 19 504 022, also discloses a protective helmet, where the energy absorbing space is created as a hallow body, blown into the air cushion where the elongated air chambers are formed in the foam layer which are connected by small, air hoses.

Another well-known example is the solution present in pat. EP2428129, where the protective helmet contains an outer shell, which has been manufactured from a hard material. The impact on the head is received by means of the inner part, which is arranged in the inner side of the outer shell. The inner part is divided into an insert and a double-sided pad, which uses a rigid or sliding attached plastic strip provided with a bristle material or bristles to the outer skeleton. Said inner moulded foam insert, skeleton, with an attached plastic strip with a bristle material or bristles are preferably placed in the textile wrap and/or between the textile interlays placed between the rigid outer skeleton and the bristle material or bristles to guarantee minimal adhesion with the outer skeleton.

Another solution, which comes close to a good solution of the problem is the example of pat. ETS2004250340, where inner and outer layers of the protection helmet are described as overlapping one another and are connected in such a way that allows for the frictional shifting of at least one area of the outer layer over the inner layer. This friction is reduced thanks to the randomized spherical surfaces on the outer side of one of the inner parts.

A well-known, successful solution can be found in the Czech patent application no. 2016-467, which describes a helmet consisting of a solid, outer shell and an inner energy absorbing layer, where the inner, energy absorbing layer is formed by a framework of shaped, inflatable airtight cushions and inserts, connected together, in which these shaped, inflatable cushions can be placed individually in the textile coating and/or between the textile interlays placed between the solid, outer skeleton and the framework of the shaped, inflatable cushions.

Although, none of the above stated solutions are quite effective enough during an impact, coming from any given side, or they are too technologically difficult.

Summary of the Invention

The object of the present invention is a helmet dampening system capable of significantly eliminating impacts leading to the rotation of the head during a perpendicular or slanted impact and which is capable of effectively dampening any unsafe movement of the head and brain.

So far, the stated shortcomings of the well-known helmet dampening systems listed above, largely remove the dampening system connected to the inner side of the helmet’s shell, whose nature is reliant in that it consists of shaped single-chamber or multi-chamber, mutually separated airtight cushions, conveniently manufactured from a plastic foil PE/PE, with a thickness of 42pm up to 65pm, arranged at least within one layer, preferably within two layers, one on top of the other, filled with air to the value of the inner pressure, allowing their compression during an impact, placed individually in frames or housings made from a soft foam mass, when these frames are solidly connected to the inner side of the helmet’s shell at the crown of the head, the forehead, the back of the head and the temples, and these shaped, airtight cushions, filled with air and placed within these frames, are connected to the inner side of the helmet’s shell by their detachable, outer side, in the preferred design of, the so-called, Velcro fasteners, and having a connected, detachable lid of the soft foam frame on its inner side facing the user's head which, in one of the preferred designs, is equipped with a textile covering or upholstery on its outer side facing the user's head, when the frames or housings, meant for the placing of the shaped, airtight cushions filled with air are laterally closed or open to the flow of air coming through the inner parts of the helmet, during which time the values of the inner air pressure in the shaped, airtight cushions allow for compression during both a linear and a slanted impact and are set in a range from 0.4 to 2.6 bar.

Use of the helmet damping system, containing air cushions, placed in frames made of a soft foam mass on the inner side of the helmet’s shell, significantly eliminates head rotation and thus, any unsafe movement of the brain during a perpendicular or slanted impact and these impacts are effectively dampened. At the same time, the dampening effect is attained by the properties of these air cushions which, when pressurized to air pressure values in the range of 0.4 to 2.6 bar upon impact, are partially shifted in the frames to thereby dampen the effects of the impact.
