AI Technical Summary
Existing helmets fail to prevent damage to the back of the nose during sliding or rolling movements, as they can slip forward and cause secondary impacts.
A helmet design featuring an outer housing made of ABS material, an inner layer of EPS foam with a nasal back recess and deformation zone of lower density EPS foam, supported by cylindrical projections, and a cavity for impact absorption, along with a silicone pad for additional protection.
The design effectively absorbs and distributes impact forces, reducing the risk of secondary nose damage by allowing the helmet to slide without direct contact and enhancing overall safety.

Abstract
Description
Field of the invention
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of helmets, in particular a helmet with nose bridge protection. State of the art
[0002] To ensure the safety of athletes, most athletes in existing outdoor sports wear helmets to protect their heads and reduce impact. In some specialized sports, athletes are subject to not only falls and slips, but also rolling. The helmet can shift forward and slide on the head during continuous movement, easily coming into contact with the bridge of the athlete's nose, causing damage to the bridge of the nose. Object of the invention
[0003] Object of the invention: The object of the invention is to provide a helmet with nose bridge protection that solves the problem of the helmet slipping during use and damaging the nose bridge of the user.
[0004] Technical solution: a helmet with nose bridge protection comprising an outer shell, wherein the inner side of the outer shell is connected to an inner layer, wherein the underside of the inner layer is provided with a nose bridge recess, and wherein the inner layer is further provided with a deformation zone at the nose bridge recess.
[0005] Preferably, a cavity is formed between the outer casing and the inner layer.
[0006] Preferably, the inner layer and the deformation zone are both made of EPS foam material, wherein the density of the deformation zone is lower than the density of the inner layer.
[0007] Preferably, the inner layer is also provided with a plurality of support projections which are round-cylindrical in shape.
[0008] Preferably, a recess is provided on the inside of the inner layer, wherein the recess and the nasal bridge recess are located on the two sides of the inner layer.
[0009] The outer casing is preferably made of ABS material.
[0010] Preferably, the outer casing is provided with a top cover.
[0011] Advantages of the invention: The nose bridge recess accommodates the wearer's nose bridge and prevents secondary damage if the helmet comes into contact with the nose bridge during an accident. The deformation zone protects the nose bridge and increases safety.

Description of the preferred embodiments
[0012] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Embodiment 1
[0013] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the helmet with nose bridge protection includes an outer shell 11. The outer shell 11 has a conventional circular arc shape to better protect the user. The inside of the outer shell 11 is connected to an inner layer 23. The inner layer 23 provides a space for accommodating the user's head.
[0014] The front of the outer casing 11 is connected to a brim 12.
[0015] The outer casing 11 is made of ABS material. ABS is a terpolymer of three monomers: acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S). The relative content of the three monomers can be arbitrarily varied to produce various resins. It is a "tough, hard, and rigid" material that is readily available and has good overall properties, a reasonable price, and a wide range of applications. The inner layer 23 is made of EPS material, i.e., EPS foam material. It is a highly efficient thermal insulation material that is lightweight, efficient, and environmentally friendly. In the invention, the outer casing 11 and the inner layer 23 are integrally molded, thus making the connection stronger.
[0016] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a cavity 28 is formed between the outer casing 11 and the inner layer 23. The cavity 28 can accommodate a protective screen. The protective screen further increases the durability of the outer casing 11 and improves safety.
[0017] At the same time, an upper cover 13 is provided on the outer surface of the outer shell 11. The upper cover 13 is arc-shaped and inserted into the outer surface of the outer shell 11. The outer shell 11 is provided with through-holes for ventilation around the connection point with the upper cover 13. The upper cover 13 influences the sliding speed of the helmet on the ground to a certain extent, thereby increasing the safety of the helmet.
[0018] Among other things, the helmet may slide forward along the user's head due to an accident during use. The inner side of the brim 12 at the front of the helmet easily comes into contact with the bridge of the user's nose. In the present invention, a nose bridge recess 22 is provided near the bottom of the inner layer 23. The nose bridge recess 22 serves to accommodate the bridge of the user's nose when the helmet slides. The inner side of the brim 12, that is, the two inner walls of the nose bridge recess 22, are in contact with the two sides of the user's face, so the nose bridge is not damaged.
[0019] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the inner layer 23 is further provided with a deformation zone 24 at the nose bridge recess 22. The deformation zone 24 and the inner layer 23 are both made of EPS foam material. However, the EPS material of the deformation zone 24 and the EPS material of the inner layer 23 have different densities. The density of the deformation zone 24 is lower than the density of the inner layer 23. After an accident, the deformation zone 24 can easily collapse, wrapping the user's nose and reducing damage caused by a secondary impact.
[0020] A dividing line 21 is also provided between the deformation zone 24 and the inner layer 23. The dividing line 21 is the weak point between the two. If the impact is too great, the deformation zone 24 and the inner layer 23 can be separated to avoid a secondary impact.
[0021] In addition, a silicone pad can be connected to the nasal bridge recess 22. The silicone pad is flexible and deforms after an impact against the nasal bridge, thus protecting the nasal bridge.
[0022] As in Fig. 3, a recess 27 is also provided on the inside of the inner layer 23. The recess 27 and the nose bridge recess 22 are located on both sides of the inner layer 23. The nose bridge recess 22 is located at the front end, and the groove 27 is located at the rear end. When the helmet moves, the recess 27 comes into contact with the back of the user's head and prevents the helmet from sliding further forward to protect the user.
[0023] The inner layer 23 is also provided with a plurality of support protrusions 26. The support protrusions 26 are in contact with the user's head. The support protrusions 26 are arranged at intervals. The inner layer 23 is provided with continuous air holes between the support protrusions 26 to increase air permeability and provide a better wearing experience.
[0024] The above-mentioned embodiments merely represent some implementation modes of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that several modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these are within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
