    摘要: An articulated cervical spine and neck protection system including an articulated cervical shroud assembly made of a rigid material and including an inner cervical shroud being approximately funnel-shaped and having a funnel portion and a neck portion, the inner cervical shroud is configured to be worn around a neck of a wearer, and the funnel portion configured to cradle a head of a wearer from below such that movement of the head of the wearer causes a corresponding movement of the inner cervical shroud; and an outer cervical shroud having a lower portion and an upper portion including a wall and is sized to sit concentrically around the neck portion of the inner cervical shroud so that the inner cervical shroud is partially nested within the outer cervical shroud that, when worn together, forms a ball-and-socket style articulation with the upper portion of the outer cervical shroud.

    摘要: A neck protection system includes a support structure, helmet, force transmission arrangement, actuator arrangement, sensor arrangement, and controller. The force transmission arrangement is coupled to the support structure and the helmet and applies a relative force between them. The actuator arrangement applies a load to the force transmission arrangement to initiate the relative force between the support structure and the helmet. The sensor arrangement measures movement changes of a vehicle. The controller is connected to the sensor arrangement to receive data representing the measured movement changes, and connected to the actuator arrangement, and generates and sends control commands to the actuator arrangement based on which the actuator arrangement applies the load to the force transmission arrangement. The controller receives maneuver information from a control computer of a vehicle and generates the control commands based on the received maneuver information and/or based on measurements of the sensor arrangement.

    摘要: There is disclosed universal pumper skirt for use with a helmet. The universal pumper skirt is composed of a coif wrapping around a wearer's neck and connected to a helmet. The coif includes an air connection input port on the coif. A wearer can use an air flow unit to pump air through the input port, creating positive air pressure in the coif and helmet that cool the wearer and reduce the intrusion of dust into the helmet. The coif may be removably attached to a motorcycle or motorsport helmet, therefore, a wearer can remove the universal pumper skirt from a helmet or transfer it to a different helmet.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device that stabilizes and/or protects the head and spine from injuries. An immobilization device includes one or more pillars with multiple segments that protect the head and spine of a user. The pillars typically run along the part of the head and spine and pelvis that the device protects. A cable or wire runs through these segments in the pillars. By design, when the pillars of the invented system are not activated and the system is in normal use, the pillars are designed to be as flexible as possible and allow full physiologic motion of the protected body part. Activation of the system confers rigidity to the system and prevents or lessens harmful, non-physiologic motion of the body part intended to be protected. The present invention also encompasses a immobilization device with cables used to guide the deployment of rigid tubes to stabilize and protect the head of the user. The present invention further includes segments with flat guide protrusions for increased stability of the pillars. The immobilization device can further include rigid tubes that extent to receivers when they are activated, and which can also be used to stabilize and protect the head or neck of the user.

    摘要: The disclosure provides embodiments for potentially reducing and/or preventing head trauma. Headgear apparatuses comprise a head-protection component configured to be worn over a head and to protect the head from an external force. In certain embodiments, the headgear apparatus has an effective mass of at least 5 kg. In other embodiments, the head-protection component is a form-fitting structure, wherein a maximum distance the head-protection component extends from an exterior surface of the head is less than 5 cm. The head-protection component may be interconnected with a neck support and a body support, wherein the head-protection component, the neck support, and the body support comprise a single structure made of a semi-flexible foam material coated in a latex or vinyl composition.

    摘要: Provided is a helmet suspension system which is configured to mitigate rapid movements, i.e., acceleration and deceleration, of a user's head. The helmet suspension system connects to a base and a helmet worn by a wearer and allows for slow, safe movements of the helmet relative to the base, but restricts rapid and generally unsafe movements of the helmet relative to the base.
