Embodiment Construction

[0035] In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, there is provided an omnidirectional impact energy management system for a helmet that can significantly reduce both rotational and linear forces resulting from an impact imparted to the helmet. The system achieves controlled internal omnidirectional relative displacement capability, including relative rotational and translational movement, between internal components of a hardshell safety helmet.

[0036]One or more embodiments disclosed herein are particularly suitable for both repetitive shocks that can provide improved protection from potentially catastrophic shocks and varying forces (which, while not causing serious brain damage, can cause cumulative damage). helmet of the victim. Accumulated brain injury problems (i.e., Second Impact Syndrome (SIS)) are increasingly recognized as severe in specific sports (e.g., American football) in which many of the forces of a non-catastrophic contact are tra...

Abstract

An embodiment of a safety helmet ( 100 ) 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 ( 106 ), an outer liner ( 102 ) disposed within and coupled to the outer shell, and an inner liner ( 104 ) disposed within and coupled in spaced opposition to the outer liner by a plurality of isolation dampers ( 108 ) for omnidirectional movement of the inner liner relative to the outer liner and the outer shell.
