The protective headgear is designed to provide a user protection against impact or collision due to a fall or contact with a static or moving object, while at the same time providing the user the maximum amount of comfort and style. The headgear may comprise an inner, intermediate, and outer section. The inner section is formed of a material providing ventilation and/or shock absorption, the intermediate section is formed of a hardened material, and the outer section is formed of a fabric material intended to give the headgear an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Description
- The embodiments of the present invention relate to personal protective equipment, and more particularly to a safety headgear for sports and recreational activities.
- Studies have shown that helmets used by skiers or snowboarders can reduce serious brain injuries. Despite numerous studies and warnings, people still do not wear protective headgear when they engage in potentially dangerous sports and recreational activities. When people are asked why they do not wear helmets, one of the primary responses is because the helmet is heavy and uncomfortable, as illustrated in
FIG. 1 . Moreover, people refuse to wear helmets because they're not aesthetically pleasing. Appearance is especially important to the younger generation of risk-takers involved in snow-boarding, skateboarding and similar radical sports. - Consequently, there is a need for a helmet that not only protects a user, but also has an attractive appearance without substantially compromising the safety of the user.
- Accordingly, one embodiment of the present invention is headgear comprising an inner section fabricated of a material operable to provide ventilation; an intermediate section comprising at least two members, wherein the two members are operable to accommodate varied head sizes; and an outer section fabricated of a fabric material. The headgear not only provides adequate protection against falls and collisions, but also provides user comfort and a fashionable look at the same time.
- In other embodiments, the inner section comprises a polymeric foam material that provides protection and shock absorptive qualities, as well as ventilation and moisture wicking for a cool and comfortable experience for the user, the intermediate section comprises a durable plastic material that not only provides protection, but also allows the user to adjust the headgear for a comfortable fit, and the outer section comprises a flexible fabric or cloth material for concealing the inner and intermediate sections while creating a fashionable appearance. Additionally, the outer section may be interchangeable and may be updated at anytime without users having to purchase multiple headgears. In doing so, the headgear not only integrates the latest fashion into a light-weight and protective helmet, but is also readily interchangeable thereby allowing the user to keep up with seasonable fashion trends. In an alternative embodiment, the outer section may be eliminated.
- Other variations, embodiments and features of the present invention will become evident from the following detailed description, drawings and claims.

As shown, theheadgear 100 comprises three sections: aninner section 200 that provides comfort and ventilation and shock absorptive qualities, anintermediate section 300 that provides protection and is sizable to adapt to a user's head, and anouter section 400 that is both stylish and aesthetically pleasing. Although inFIG. 2 the threesections headgear 100 are separate units, some of thesections inner section 200 and theintermediate section 300 may be fabricated as a single unit. Furthermore, by using known materials and methods, additional complements such as a chin guard (not shown) and/or a face guard (not shown) may be integrated in theheadgear 100. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , theouter section 400 is designed to fit over theintermediate section 300, which is designed to fit over theinner section 200. Although thesections overlying sections underlying sections outer section 400 may be eliminated entirely. In other words, theheadgear 100 can be constructed of only two sections: theinner section 200 and theintermediate section 300. Additional details and explanation of thevarious sections sections sections -
FIG. 3 illustrates theinner section 200 of theheadgear 100. Theinner section 200 may also be termed the comfort zone because theinner section 200 provides comfort and protection to and for a user's head. Theinner section 200 may be constructed of a polymeric foam material or other shock-absorbent materials. In one embodiment, theinner section 200 is constructed of a memory foam material that conforms to the shape of a user's head for added comfort. Ideally, theinner section 200 has athickness 230 of about 1 to 10 mm and more specifically, theinner section 200 has athickness 230 of about 5 mm. - In addition to providing shock absorption, the
inner section 200 also provides ventilation for a user's head throughventilation holes 210. Theseventilation holes 210 may be distributed throughout theinner section 200 so as to provide air flow and relief from body heat exiting through a user's head. Additionally, theventilation holes 210 allow for moisture wicking thereby resulting in a cool and comfortable experience for the user. In another embodiment, theventilation holes 210 may be eliminated or changed in the configuration. -
FIG. 4 illustrates anintermediate section 300 of theheadgear 100. Theintermediate section 300 may be termed the protective zone because theintermediate section 300 provides protection for the user's head. Theintermediate section 300 comprises two members: aprotective member 300 a and amobile member 300 b. It is possible that theprotective member 300 a is made of a substantially harder material relative to themobile member 300 b, and it is conceivable that themobile member 300 b is made of a more flexible type of material. As explained in more detail below, the twomembers intermediate section 300 is capable of being adjusted to comfortably accommodate different size heads. The adjustments are made by adjusting theprotective member 300 a relative to themobile member 300 b. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , themobile member 300 b is attached to theprotective member 300 a through a series ofscrews 340 b and/or rivets 350 b. Alternatively, other means of attaching the twomembers mobile member 300 b are attached torivet points 350 a of theprotective member 300 a. Therivets 350 b maintain themobile member 300 b in place.Screw stems 340 b of themobile member 300 b are attached to theappropriate adjustment holes 340 a on either side of an opening 355 defined in theprotective member 300 a. Once theappropriate adjustment holes 340 a to accommodate the user's head size have been determined, thescrew stems 340 b may be securely, but removably, screwed into theadjustment holes 340 a. By selecting theoutermost adjustment holes 340 a, the size head that theprotective member 300 a will accommodate is reduced. More particularly, in order for the fixedscrew stems 340 b to insert through theoutermost adjustment holes 340 a the user must apply force to reduce the distance between theoutermost adjustment holes 340 a to receive the fixedscrew stems 340 b. By selecting theinnermost adjustment holes 340 a theprotective member 300 a is able to accommodate the largest head size. - The
mobile member 300 b is permanently attached to theprotective member 300 a with the rivets andrivet points 350 a, 305 b while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate different sized heads by means of thescrew adjustments - The
protective members protective member 300 a may also be constructed of shatter proof or heat resistant material. In one embodiment, theprotective member 300 a may be a polymeric material, such as polycarbonate, and can be specifically molded to fit a user's head for added comfort and protection. And like that of theinner section 200, theprotective member 300 a can also provide ventilation through ventilation holes 310. The ventilation holes 310 may be distributed throughout theprotective member 300 a and should be aligned with the ventilation holes 210 of theinner section 200 in order to provide ventilation for a user. In an alternative embodiment, ventilation holes 310 may be eliminated. - For added strength and durability, the
protective member 300 a may incorporate reinforcedridges 330. The reinforcedridges 330 may be distributed throughout theprotective member 300 a and may be formed of other durable composite or polymeric materials. The additional plastic or durable material of the reinforcedridges 330 provide theprotective member 300 a with extra strength against impact and collision providing further protection for a user's head. Although the reinforcedridges 330 are illustrated in the shape of a cross on a top of theprotective member 300 a, the reinforcedridges 330 may take a variety of shapes and designs to maximize user protection. - An
elastic band 360 may be positioned near a rear portion of theprotective member 300 a as illustrated. Theelastic band 360 may be bonded to theprotective member 300 a or attached using other materials and methods known in the industry. In one embodiment, theelastic band 360 has awidth 370 of about 10 to 15 mm wide and is sufficiently flexible to accommodate a user's head and provide additional comfort. Optionally, theintermediate section 300 may also include straps (not shown) or other methods of securing theintermediate section 300 to a user's head. -
FIGS. 5A-5C illustrate three models of aesthetically pleasingouter sections 400. Theouter section 400 is the outermost layer of theheadgear 100 and should comprise the latest fashion and style in headwear. Theouter section 400 can be easily changed and updated at anytime without having to purchase a new helmet thereby allowing a user to update their helmet every year or as often as desired. Although only three models ofouter sections 400 are illustrated, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the models are meant to be illustrative and not exhaustive.
