Abstract
A protective device for a user to wear comprises a carrier spaced apart from a shell. The carrier includes a pocket. A first shock absorber includes a bladder and a reservoir, each containing a liquid. The bladder and the reservoir are fluidly interconnected. One of the bladder and the reservoir is positioned between the shell and the carrier. The other one of the bladder and the reservoir is positioned within the pocket. In response to an external load, the shell is movable relative to the carrier and the liquid flows between the bladder and the reservoir.
Claims20
A protective device for a user to wear, the protective device comprising:
- a shell;
- a carrier spaced apart from the shell, the carrier including a pocket;
- and
- a first shock absorber including a bladder and a reservoir, each containing a first liquid, the bladder and the reservoir being fluidly interconnected, one of the bladder and the reservoir being positioned between the shell and the carrier, the other one of the bladder and the reservoir being positioned within the pocket, wherein in response to an external load, the shell is moveable relative to the carrier and the first fluid flows between the bladder and the reservoir.
A protective device for a user to wear, the protective device comprising:
- a shell;
- a carrier;
- and
- a shock absorber including a bladder and a reservoir, the bladder containing a liquid, the bladder and the reservoir being fluidly interconnected with one another, the reservoir being positioned between the shell and the carrier, the bladder adapted to be engaged by the user of the protective device, wherein a load applied to the shell deforms the bladder and transfers fluid between the bladder and the reservoir.
A protective device for a user to wear, the protective device comprising:
- a shell;
- a carrier including a first portion in engagement with the shell and a second portion spaced apart from the shell, the carrier including a pocket at least partially defined by the second portion;
- and
- a first shock absorber including a bladder and a reservoir, the bladder containing a first liquid, the bladder and the reservoir being fluidly interconnected with one another, the bladder and the reservoir being positioned between the shell and the carrier and positioned at least partially in the pocket, the bladder including a first surface in engagement with the shell and a second surface in engagement with the carrier, wherein a load applied to the shell deforms the bladder and transfers the first liquid between the bladder and the reservoir.
