Embodiment Construction

[0039] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, an omnidirectional impact energy management system for a helmet is provided that can significantly reduce both rotational and linear forces resulting from impacts 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.

[0040] One or more embodiments disclosed herein are particularly suitable for repetitive impacts that can provide improved protection from potentially catastrophic impacts 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 transferred to the we...

Abstract

Systems and methods 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 translationaland rotational brain injury and concussions may be provided. The helmet (1400) comprises: an outer shell; an outer liner (1402) disposed within and coupled to the outer shell; an inner liner (1404) disposed within and coupled to the outer liner (1402); an aligner (1440) coupled to the outer liner (1402) and the inner liner (1404) and configured to position the outer liner (1402) relative to the inner liner (1404); and a damper (1442) configured to allow omnidirectional movement of the inner liner (1404) relative to the outer liner (1402)and the outer shell.
