Abstract
An attachment system including an attachment member having a height and a width with a base and a main body having a height extending away from the base and being substantially flexible along the height thereof and substantially inflexible along its width. The main body includes a plurality of substantially inflexible portions vertically spaced apart from the base and from one another by a plurality of substantially flexible connecting portions.
Claims11
An attachment system for a sporting helmet, comprising:
- a shock attenuation system associated with the shell of the sporting helmet, a fit member, and an attachment member for attaching the fit member to the shock attenuation system, wherein the attachment member comprises a base, a pair of base extensions parallel to and on either side of the base, and a main body having a height extending away from the base and being substantially flexible along the height thereof, wherein the base extensions and a bottom portion of the base opposite the main body are adhesively secured to a surface of the fit member and the main body is removably and frictionally securable within an aperture provided on a portion of the shock attenuation system.
An attachment member comprising a base having a length, a pair of base extensions parallel to and on either side of the base, and a main body having a height extending away from the base and being substantially flexible along the height thereof, the main body comprising a plurality of substantially triangular-shaped portions vertically spaced apart from the base and from one another by a plurality of substantially flexible connecting portion, each triangular-shaped portion having a length corresponding substantially to the length of the base.
An attachment member having a height and a width, the attachment member comprising abase having a length, a pair of base extensions parallel to and on either side of the base, and a main body having a height extending away from the base and being substantially flexible along the height thereof and substantially inflexible along its width, the main body comprising a plurality of substantially inflexible triangular-shaped portions vertically spaced apart from the base and from one another by a plurality of substantially flexible connecting portions, each triangular-shaped portion having a length corresponding substantially to the length of the base.
An attachment system for a sporting helmet, comprising:
- a shock attenuation system associated with the shell of the sporting helmet, a fit member, and an attachment member for attaching the fit member to the shock attenuation system, wherein the attachment member comprises a base, a pair of base extensions parallel to and on either side of the base, and a main body having a height extending away from the base and being substantially flexible along the height thereof and substantially inflexible along its width, the main body comprising a plurality of substantially inflexible triangular-shaped portions vertically spaced apart from the base and from one another by a plurality of substantially flexible connecting portions, the triangular-shaped portions being positionable within the aperture to frictionally maintain the main body therein.
