Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an impact absorbing helmet design that uses springs oriented in the opposite direction of relative movement between the head and the helmet to absorb linear and rotational impacts. These springs will increase the total amount of work being done by the helmet and increase the time of impact, reducing the acceleration experienced by the brain when compared to current helmets on the market. The helmet is constructed and arranged to effectively absorb rotational forces on the head because of a rotationally independent inner lining and outer shell attached by springs.

An impact helmet assembly comprising:
- an outer shell,
- an inner lining,
- a head spring interface assembly attached to said inner lining constructed and arranged for absorption and transference of forces to the head to add protection from brain injury to a user;
- wherein said head spring interface assembly is further comprised of a plurality of springs and a plurality of head spring interfaces;
- said interface assembly connects said plurality of springs to said outer shell through a plurality of attachment points.
