Benefits of technology

The present invention is a protective head covering device for sports or activities that involve violent collisions. It is designed to divert and absorb the energy from collisions and reduce the force at the point of impact. The invention offers eleven levels of protection that work simultaneously and independently to protect the wearer's head from serious injury.

Problems solved by technology

There have been numerous redesigns of the helmet but none have been able to make a significant reduction in head injury.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The present invention FIG. 1 represents a method and an apparatus to help protect the wearer's from any force that results from single or repetitive collisions to the head.

[0025]The first level of protection is a hard polymer shell that can be formed by using injection molding to manufacture the helmet's outer shell. The outer shell is used as the base for the helmet.

[0026]The outer shell is molded wider to the left and right sides 20 close to 22 the ear holes. The wider design adds more distance between the wearer's head and any side impact collisions. The wider helmet design adds a second level of protection.

[0027]The outer shell is molded with added space towards the back of the helmet, 23 extending it rearward and downward to add more distance between the wearer's head and the ground to protect the wearer from any collision that can occur from falling backwards. The extended shape of the helmet adds a third level of protection that can help to protect the wearer from any p...

Abstract

The Impact Diverting Helmet System is a redesign of the conventional football helmet that is in use today. It is a protective head covering device that is designed to absorb and divert the majority of force that results from a collision starting at the point of impact. This design offers the wearer elevens levels of protection and it can be easily manufactured with lightweight materials so it can be similar in weight to conventional helmets in use today.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]Not ApplicableSTATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableMICROFICHE APPENDIX[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention is in the classification of helmets. More specifically it is in the sub-classification of headgear. Several sports involve violent head collisions and these sports require the use of protective head covering devices. The objective of the device is to protect each participant from injury that can occur from any collisions to the head during such activity.[0005]There have been numerous redesigns of the helmet but none have been able to make a significant reduction in head injury. Generally these helmets include a hard outer shell that is fastened to a person's head with a chin strap with the option of having a facemask.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0006]The present invention is a protective head covering device that is not limited to football, but it ca...
