HELMET OMNIDIRECTIONAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

摘要

An embodiment of a safety helmet for protecting the human head against repetitive impacts, moderate impacts and severe impacts so as to significantly reduce the likelihood of both translational and rotational brain injury and concussions includes an outer shell, an outer liner disposed within and coupled to the outer shell, and an inner liner disposed within and coupled in spaced opposition to the outer liner by a plurality of isolation dampers for omnidirectional movement of the inner liner relative to the outer liner and the outer shell.

1. A helmet, comprising:
an outer shell; an outer liner coupled, on a first side, to the outer shell and having at least one concave recess on an opposing second side; an intermediate liner comprising:
an outer side and an opposing inner side,at least one convex protrusion extending from the outer side and at least partially disposed within the at least one concave recess of the outer liner, andat least one concave recess on the opposing inner side; and an inner liner having at least one convex protrusion disposed at least partially within the at least one concave recess on the opposing inner side of the intermediate liner.
