Abstract
A padding element suitable for use in a crash helmet having a plurality of padding elements including a plurality of first deformable blisters interconnected together in sets, and containing a fluid which is in a saturated vapor state when the helmet has been worn for a sufficient time to raise its fluid temperature to a temperature approaching normal body temperature. It is contemplated that the fluid contained in the first deformable blisters preferably includes a mixture of Freon MF and Freon TF with the proportion of Freon MF being in the range of 20% to 50% by volume liquid.
Claims14
A protective buffer padding element adapted to be worn in external contact with a human body comprising:
- a deformable blister, said blister containing a fluid which is capable of being in a saturated vapor state with the padding element after the padding element is worn for a sufficient period of time to raise the fluid temperature to a temperature approaching normal human body temperature;
- and
- means for retaining the padding element in external contact with a human body.
A protective buffer padding element, particularly for use with a crash helmet, adapted to be worn in external contact with a human body comprising:
- a plurality of padding elements, at least some of said padding elements being deformable blisters which contain a fluid which is capable of being in a saturated vapor state when worn for a sufficient time to raise the fluid temperature to a temperature approaching normal human body temperature;
- and
- means for retaining said padding elements in external contact with a human body.
A crash helmet incorporating a protective buffer padding comprising a plurality of padding elements adapted to be disposed in contact with the head of a human person wearing the helmet, each of said padding elements including:
- a plurality of first deformable blisters secured in said helmet and interconnected together in sets and containing a fluid which is capable of being in a saturated vapor state when the helmet has been worn for a sufficient time to raise the fluid temperature to a temperature approaching normal human body temperature;
- and
- a plurality of second damping deformable blisters secured in said helmet and containing a fluid each composed of a main chamber and a second pouch in mutual communication through a necked-in portion.
