Abstract
An impact resistant helmet assembly having a first material layer coupled to a second material layer so as to define a gas chamber therebetween which contains a quantity that provides impact dampening upon an impact force being applied to the helmet assembly. The helmet assembly further includes a containment layer disposed over the second material layer and structured to define a fluid chamber in which a quantity of fluid is disposed. The fluid includes a generally viscous gel structured to provide some resistance against disbursement from an impacted region of the fluid chamber to non-impacted regions of the fluid chamber, thereby further enhance the impact distribution and dampening of the impact force provided by the helmet assembly.
Claims22
To dampen and resist an impact force applied thereto, an impact resistant helmet assembly comprising:
- a first material layer,
- a second material layer disposed relative to said first material layer so as to define a gas chamber therebetween,
- a quantity of gas disposed in said gas chamber so as to provide impact dampening,
- a containment layer structured and disposed to define a fluid chamber,
- a quantity of fluid disposed in said fluid chamber such that fluid at an impacted region of said fluid chamber is disbursed to non-impacted regions of said fluid chamber so as to provide enhanced impact distribution and dampening, and
- said fluid including a plurality of granular particulate disposed therein and structured to provide some resistance against disbursement from said impacted region of said fluid chamber to said non-impacted regions of said fluid chamber and thereby further enhance said impact distribution and dampening, and structured to lower a density of said fluid so as to lessen a weight thereof.
To dampen and resist an impact force applied thereto, an impact resistant helmet assembly comprising:
- a first material layer,
- a second material layer disposed relative to said first material layer so as to define a gas chamber therebetween,
- a quantity of gas disposed in said gas chamber so as to provide impact dampening,
- a containment layer coupled to said second material layer and structured to define a fluid chamber therebetween,
- a quantity of fluid disposed in said fluid chamber such that fluid at an impacted region of said fluid chamber is disbursed to non-impacted regions of said fluid chamber so as to provide enhanced impact distribution and dampening,
- said fluid including a generally viscous fluid structured to provide some resistance against disbursement from said impacted region of said fluid chamber to said non-impacted regions of said fluid chamber and thereby further enhance said impact distribution and dampening,
- said fluid chamber further including a plurality of equalization pockets disposed therein, each of said equalization pockets containing a reservoir of said fluid therein and being structured to be compressed upon the impact force being applied so as to urge said reservoir of said fluid within said equalization pockets disposed at said impacted region towards said equalization pockets disposed at said non-impacted regions and thereby provide substantial impact dampening, and
- said equalization pockets at said non-impacted regions being structured to expand so as to receive increased quantities of said fluid therein.
To dampen and resist an impact force applied thereto, an impact resistant helmet assembly comprising:
- a first material layer,
- a second material layer disposed relative to said first material layer so as to define a gas chamber therebetween,
- a quantity of gas disposed in said gas chamber so as to provide impact dampening,
- a containment layer structured and disposed to define a fluid chamber,
- a quantity of fluid disposed in said fluid chamber such that fluid at an impacted region of said fluid chamber is disbursed to non-impacted regions of said fluid chamber so as to provide enhanced impact distribution and dampening, and
- at least one equalization pocket disposed in said fluid chamber, said equalization pockets containing a reservoir of said fluid therein and being structured to be compressed upon the impact force being applied so as to urge said reservoir of said fluid within said equalization pocket disposed at said impacted region towards said non-impacted region and thereby provide substantial impact dampening.
