摘要： An impact and energy absorbing product for floors, walls, panels, crash mats and other flat surfaces. More particularly, the invention teaches the usage of coiled springs in conjunction with polymeric materials or metals such as titanium or steel, to help absorb and dissipate forces of humans and other objects coming in contact with said flat surfaces. Depending upon the exact environment in which the same are to be used, the coiled springs may be constructed of polymers or metals such as titanium or steel—lightweight, yet durable materials to accomplish the purposes of the invention. In the preferred mode of attachment, an insert is fitted to each end of each spring, with a flared insert then placed into a molded female slot upon a flat surface to hold the spring in place. Thus, a floor or wall surface may comprise a series of female slots such that multiple springs can easily slide therein. The springs may be spread throughout the area to be protected, providing a completely controlled protected area to help effectively absorb and dissipate forces upon impact. As such, the assembly of the present invention may be utilized for items such as crash mats for many sports, wall mats in gymnasiums, or wall boards in indoor or outdoor rinks and arenas.

摘要： A universal protective headgear device wraps around a user's head to cover and protect crucial areas around the entire circumference of the cranium while conforming to each user's particular anatomy, including head shape and size. Pads formed of impact absorbing polymers having full elastic memory are fitted within the headgear, between inner and outer layers of moisture absorbing material, such as neoprene or knitted fabric. Hook and loop fasteners on the opposite end portions allow for adjusted fitting to the user's head. The polymeric pads are structured and disposed to absorb and dissipate significant impact forces, thereby providing increased protection to areas around a user's entire head that are at the highest level of risk of head and brain injuries. The polymeric pads include an equally spaced arrangement of ventilation holes formed therethrough to allow perspiration to be transferred from the inner layer to the outer layer for dissipation.

摘要： Focus enhancing blinders for usage in sporting activities and other activities that require visual focus and concentration. More particularly, the invention is a perspiration-absorbing headband worn by players of tennis and other sports where hand-eye coordination is critical. In one mode, the headband includes a slot to hold and guide blinders that extend to the areas on the outside of each eye, functioning to block off a previously-determined degree of peripheral vision. This assists a player in the difficult task of keeping his or her visual focus straight ahead and directly on a ball, thus enhancing the user's performance. This also keeps one reading or studying focused on the task at hand. In the preferred mode, the blinders are of a length of one to four inches and are held in place through the usage of Velcro on the inside of the blinders and outside of the headband. In the preferred mode, Velcro is also placed along the ear on both sides past the open slot to hold the blinders. Importantly, the blinders can move out from the slot to cover the peripheral vision as required. The user may utilize both blinders, one blinder, or neither; as the player improves on his or her focus, the blinders can be moved back toward the ear to a point where they are no longer required.

摘要： A sweatband designed to be worn on the head of a user engaged in activities such as soccer. Specifically, in the preferred mode, the device comprises a “horizontal” sweatband portion, much like a typical headband. In an enhanced mode, the horizontal member is affixed to a “vertical” portion that is perpendicular to the horizontal portion, extending from the user's forehead, over the crown of the head, and to the back of the head. In either instance, the sweatband of the present invention comprises inserts for the purpose of protecting the user, which may be permanently placed or removable. In the preferred mode, the inserts are polymeric and function to absorb and dissipate impact forces with which the user's head comes in contact. Importantly, the inserts may be strategically placed within the sweatband, such as in the areas most vulnerable to concussion or injury upon impact. In addition, the polymeric inserts may be removed from the sweatband so that the sweatband may be conveniently washed. Alternatively, the sweatband may be washed with the insert permanently placed therein. In total, the invention provides a novel, lightweight means to protect the head of the athlete, while effectively functioning to absorb perspiration.
