Concussion Indicator

摘要

A concussion indicator that may easily be applied to a helmet is provided. The concussion indicator may visually or audibly provide indicators relating to impacts creating accelerations of the helmet that likely cause a concussion. In some embodiments, three separate indicators may be used within a single base; each indicator is configured to indicate at impacts relating to different concussion grades. A rear of the base is attachable to a surface such as an interior or exterior of a helmet. Upon a concussion triggering acceleration, the concussion indicator will indicate that a concussion is likely. This display may be seen or heard by observers if the indicator is on an exterior of the helmet, and by the user or someone who removes the user's helmet if it is on the inside of the helmet.

1. A concussion indicator comprising:
a base; a first impact capsule attached to the base, configured to provide a visual indication upon receiving an impact causing acceleration at a rate likely to cause a grade one concussion; a second impact capsule attached to the base, configured to provide a visual indication upon receiving an impact causing an acceleration at a rate likely to cause a grade two concussion; a third impact capsule attached to the base, and configured to provide visual indication upon receiving an impact causing an acceleration at a rate likely to cause a grade three concussion; wherein the impact capsules are arranged in ascending indicating order, the first impact capsule being adjacent to the second impact capsule, the third impact capsule being adjacent to the second impact capsule.
