Abstract
A defusing cell includes walls and spheroid elements. The walls are physically connected together to form a first perimeter, a second perimeter, and a hollow center region. A wall has a length and is an angle with respect to the first perimeter. The first perimeter is separated from the second perimeter by a distance based on the length and an angle of the wall. The second perimeter is larger than the first perimeter. The spheroid elements are arranged in a pattern to distribute and disperse an impact force impacting the defusing cell from the second perimeter with respect to the first perimeter.
Claims7
A defusing cell comprises:
- a plurality of walls physically connected together to form a first perimeter having a first surface area and a second perimeter having a second surface area, wherein a wall of the plurality of walls has a length, wherein the first perimeter is separated from the second perimeter by a distance based on the length and an angle of the wall with respect to the first to second perimeters, wherein the second perimeter is larger than the first perimeter, wherein the plurality of walls form a hollow center region, and wherein when the first perimeter receives an impact force, an impact pressure applied across the first surface area is greater than the impact pressure applied to the second perimeter across the second surface area based on the angle of the wall and the second surface area being greater than first surface area;
- and
- a plurality of spheroid elements within the hollow center region, wherein the plurality of spheroid elements is arranged in a desired pattern to distribute and disperse the impact force impacting the defusing cell from the second perimeter with respect to the first perimeter, wherein the plurality of spheroid elements substantially maintain the desired pattern when the impact force is impacting the defusing cell.
