Embodiment Construction

[0044]The helmet of the present invention includes an impact resistant shell that is able to absorb some of the forces exerted on a helmet during a collision with another object, which may be the road, a pavement, a pedestrian or another vehicle. As mentioned above, the present invention is not limited to a cycling helmet but cycling will be used to exemplify the diverse applications for which the helmet may be used, some of which are set out above.

[0045]Referring initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, which show the shell from one side and from below, respectively, the impact resistant shell 10 of the helmet includes a rim 12 made of a solid fibre board. The rim may be made in a single piece or in multiple pieces (as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) that are joined together at connection 13, which is most clearly shown in FIG. 2. The joint 13 is a simple tongue-and-groove joint that includes a tongue 13a on one piece of the rim that slots into a groove 13b cut into the end of a second piece of the rim...

Abstract

A head protection helmet comprises an impact resistant shell comprising a cavity for accommodating a user's head and an array of crushable bodies having a hollow closed configuration, e.g. flutes in corrugated material. The crushable bodies each having an axis that extends outwardly from the cavity to absorb impact forces exerted along the direction of the axis.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a helmet. The helmet is primarily intended as a cycling helmet to provide head protection in the event of a cycling accident. However, it also finds application at any time when head protection is needed, for example ice skating, roller skating, skateboarding, caving, climbing, e.g. indoor climbing or mountain climbing, skiing, baseball, American football, ice hockey and head protection at work or when working at heights, e.g. in the construction industry.TECHNICAL BACKGROUND[0002]Most bicycle helmets available have (a) a thin outer layer, which may be made, for example, out of polypropylene that is able to absorb initial peak impact forces, (b) a shell within the thin layer and composed of expanded polystyrene that absorbs both initial and subsequent impact forces and (c) padding within the expanded polystyrene shell both to provide comfort to the user and to adjust the shape of the internal cavity within the shell for different...
