To be manufactured, formed and operated in much different and diverse fashion as compared to conventional motorsport helmets is a strong yet flexible and lightweight safety “helmet.” Comprising a “shell,” and several manually operated “components”. To be incorporated onto said shell are numerous actuating and/or fixed mechanisms with inherent safety aspects meant to increase the comfort, peripheral vision and facilitate the overall safety of the wearer. This multiplicity of independent components is also designed to protect the user's head and cranium and to reduce the violent sudden rotational forces encountered after impact. One aspect consists of a solid, continuous and unbroken “Shell.” The shell comprises a number of curves and concave segments with several other significant distinguishable design details meant to improve the overall aerodynamics of the shell. Other components include a “main external visor” and a secondary “inner visor” that actuate in multi-step processes. Aerodynamic rear and side “spoilers/elevations”, a rear “stabilizing/grab bar” for rotational force attenuation and two air “centrally mounted intake ducts”/“exhaust vents” for wearer ventilation are components that would normally be attached to this shell via commercially available adhesives and or fittings. A flush convergence of parts and components designed to work in balanced form. Presented is a much more low-profile product with a much smaller cross section in comparison to the given norm. The end result is a revolutionary product in both function and form.
I hereby claim a safety helmet to be constructed and assembled with distinguishable form and mechanical function herein referred to as “form and function helmet” or “helmet”. Comprising a plurality of independent components and attachments herein referred to as “components.” All combined and designed to protect the user's head and cranium and to reduce the violent sudden rotational forces of the head and brain after impact. This helmet is also designed to aid in better peripheral vision and ease of use to the wearer via manually actuated automated movements. A strong yet flexible and lightweight helmet “shell” herein referred to as “shell.” Comprising of a “main external visor” herein referred to as “Main external visor” and a secondary “inner-visor” herein referred to as “inner-visor”. Also comprising of an innovative process whereby “paint and or graphics” herein referred to as “flush graphics” are continuous and unbroken throughout the entirety of the helmet. Also, comprising of a prominent rear “aerodynamic spoiler” herein referred to as “rear spoiler”. Also comprising of “aerodynamic side spoilers and elevations” herein referred to “side spoilers/elevations.” Also comprising of specially designed “concave sections or indents” herein referred to as “ concave sections/indents.” Also comprising of a lower arched panel or “stabilizing bar” herein referred to as “stabilizing bar” utilized for attenuating rotational forces during an impact and to facilitate handling of the helmet. Also comprising air intake ports and exhaust vents herein referred to “air intake ports” and “exhaust vents” designed to increase overall ventilation and comfort to the wearer. Lastly, comprising of temporal side encasements herein referred to “Temporal side encasements” used to safety contain the mechanisms used to actuate visor movement. The helmet may be manufactured as an integrated, standalone protective layer that could be universally adapted and incorporated onto any modifiable safety design shaped to correspond with required design parameters and the user's head.
The invention according to claim 0031 wherein in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the layers are made of polystyrene or polypropylene, the aforementioned may be used in conjunction with other polymers and plastics to form the segments of the present invention. In addition to polystyrene or polypropylene, the segments may be made from, without limitation, a polybutylene, a polyvinyl (including polyvinyl chloride), a polyester, a polycarbonate, a polyurethane, a polyamine, a polyacrylic, a polyamide, a polyurea, and any other suitable polymer.
