Embodiment Construction

[0036] In the detailed description that follows, orientation terms such as "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right" and "center" will be used for The description of the contents of the illustrated embodiment is simplified. Also, ordinal terms such as "first" and "second" will be used to simplify the description of the illustrated embodiments. However, the invention should not be limited to the orientation shown, as other positions and orders are possible. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other locations for the various components described above are possible. As used herein, "front", "rear", "left" and "right" are illustrated from the perspective of a user of the protective helmet. Likewise, "top", "bottom", "upper" and "lower" are illustrated from the perspective of the helmet wearer.

Abstract

A bicycle helmet has a body with a concave inner surface configureured to permit the helmet to fit a user's head. The body has a first section with a first density and a second section with a second density different from the first density. A reinforcement structure is disposed in the body, wherein the reinforcement structure engages the first and second portions of the body.
