20130125294 | MAGNETIC IMPACT ABSORPTION IN PROTECTIVE BODY GEAR - Magnetic repulsive forces can be exploited for impact absorption in protective body gear such as, e.g., helmets. | 05-23-2013 |
20100186150 | PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR COMPRESSION MEMBER - A protective headgear compression member includes a hollow compression cell having a top wall, a bowed side wall and a bottom wall and a liner element secured to that bottom wall coaxially to said cell. The liner element is composed of a flexible envelope substantially filled with resilient material and the envelope is secured to the bottom wall via an axially flexible connection to prevent the bottoming out of the liner element against the bottom wall of the cell. | 07-29-2010 |
20080256686 | Air Venting, Impact-Absorbing Compressible Members - An impact-absorbing compressible member includes a thin-walled enclosure defining an inner chamber containing a volume of fluid such as air. The enclosure includes one or more orifices which as sized and positioned to allow air to vent from the inner chamber in response to an impact on the member and to refill the inner chamber in response to an impact on the member and to refill the inner chamber after the impact is released. The enclosure is formed of a blow-molded thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material which is economical to make and durable in use. The compressible members can be used as building blocks for impact-absorbing shell structures for a wide variety of application such helmets, protective pads for body parts, sports arena wall padding, vehicular bumpers, dashboards and the like. The compressible member has impact-absorbing advantages over conventional foams currently used in those applications. | 10-23-2008 |
