Abstract
A body limb protection system includes an outer layer, an inner layer, and a force dampening and defusing structure. The outer layer includes a first material composition and has an exterior surface that includes a substantially planer area. The inner layer includes a second material composition and has a shape corresponding to a body limb portion. The force dampening and defusing structure is positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer. The force dampening and defusing structure has a shape corresponding to a difference between the shapes of the inner and outer layers. The force dampening and defusing structure includes a plurality of components arranged to reduce pressure on the body limb portion when a force is applied to the substantially planer area.
Claims12
An impact protection cell comprises:
- a first wall having an angled shape, wherein:
- the angled shape includes a body impact side having a first length, an impact receiving side having a second length, a first side having a first side length, and a second side having a second side length;
- the body impact side is substantially parallel to the impact receiving side;
- the first side is at a first angle with respect to the body impact side;
- and
- the second side is at a second angle with respect to the body impact side;
- a second wall having the angled shape;
- and
- a third wall having the angled shape, wherein:
- a first edge of the first wall is at least partially directly coupled to a first edge of the second wall;
- a second edge of the first wall is at least partially directly coupled to a first edge of the third wall;
- a second edge of the second wall is at least partially coupled to a second edge of the third wall;
- and
- when an impact force is applied to the impact receiving sides of the first, second, and third walls, the first, second, and third walls decrease pressure on the body impact sides in comparison to pressure on the impacting receiving sides.
