Abstract: A structure, e.g., a shock absorbing cap, provides additional force or shock abortion between the interior of a traditional safety helmet and the head of the wearer. As a result, there is no need to change the helmets currently in use today. The cap has a first region, which is next to the scalp and is typically made of 100% knitted cotton. A second region is typically made of 100% wool fleece braided fiber bundles or locks that extend alternately in longitudinal and lateral directions. A sufficient number of layers of the knitted cotton bundles is provided to principally fill the gap between the head of each wearer and the interior of the helmet. This layer is the main shock absorbing element. The outermost region is typically made of one or more layers of braided 100% carbon fiber bundles, which run the opposite direction of the last wool lock. This carbon fiber bundle region helps to retain the structure of the cape. Every two layers in the cap are interlocked with the other layers on either side, except that the interlocking stops with the top carbon layer.

Abstract: A reinforcement structure of safety helmet and a manufacturing method thereof. The reinforcement structure includes a helmet body formed of a cushion foam material; and a structure body integrated with the helmet body. The structure body is a texture at least composed of multiple strip members arranged in an array. The structure body is formed with a substantially cellular structure. The helmet body is defined with a top section and a peripheral section and the structure body is defined with a first section and a second section connected to the first section corresponding to the top section and peripheral section of the helmet body. The cushion foam material is injected into a molding module to enclose the first and second sections to form an integrated complex reinforcement structure, which is easier to manufacture and has higher structural strength, lighter weight and higher security.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a protective helmet includes the steps of: (a) providing a fiber-based filler, such as a fiberglass sheeting; (b) mixing course ceramic particles into a thermoset resin; (c) impregnating the resin/ceramic particle mixture into the fiber-based filler; (d) forming or molding the impregnated fiber-based filler into a shape of a protective helmet; and (e) curing the resin mixture impregnated into the fiber-based filler. The course ceramic particles are preferably created by chopping a ceramic material. The presence of the ceramic particles in the composite helmet substantially reduces the heat reflectance of the helmet; while also reducing the overall weight of the helmet, since the ceramic material weighs less than the portion of resin material that the ceramic material is being used in place of. Finally, because the ceramic particles are course, they will not all flow to “low spots” in the helmet during the curing process. The course ceramic particles will remain entangled with, and caught on the fibers of the fiber-based filler during the curing process, thereby ensuring a more even distribution of the ceramic particles throughout the finished helmet.

Abstract: A strong, lightweight, impact resistant helmet system protects the wearer from impact injury and minimizes bodily injury to other players brought into contact therewith during blocking and tackling events. Weight reduction is achieved by reinforcing inner and outer surfaces of the helmet shell with long length, high strength fibers. Orientation of the fibers is such that the fiber lengths are aligned generally in the direction of tension and compression forces imposed on the helmet surface during impact. This reinforcement geometry permits use of a thin helmet shell. Efficient impact absorption by the helmet shell is accomplished by limiting the bend curvature produced at the impact location. The bend curvature reduction increases the contact area between the helmet shell and a second pliable padded inner helmet made from energy absorbing polymeric foam disposed within the helmet shell in contact with its inner surface. The second pliable padded inner helmet rests on the wearer's head, held in place by an attachment mechanism associated with the helmet shell. Energy is absorbed when the inner surface of the helmet shell contacts and compresses the inner helmet. The reduced bend curvature of the helmet shell spreads impact forces over a large area, and the impact load experienced by the wearer is decreased.
