A visor is rotatably coupled to the helmet body to cover and alternatively uncover the visor aperture. A plurality of fans is coupled within the inside adjacent the plurality of vent apertures. A control housing is coupled through the front portion. A plurality of controls is coupled to the control housing and is in operational communication with the plurality of fans. A power source is coupled to the control housing and is in operational communication each of the plurality of controls and the plurality of fans.

The present disclosure is generally related to systems, devices, and methods for mitigating energy propagation through helmets during a collision, thereby reducing the risk of brain damage from a traumatic brain injury. For example, an impact absorption system may be utilized to increase energy absorption of forces propagating through a helmet. In a particular configuration, the absorption system includes an external shell, a plurality of impact absorbing elements, one or more liners, and/or a foam layer to mitigate the resulting forces from an impact that reach a user's brain.

Systems and methods of a safety helmet for protecting the human head against repetitive impacts, moderate impacts and severe impacts so as to significantly reduce the likelihood of both translational and rotational brain injury and concussions may be provided. The helmet may include an outer shell, an outer liner disposed within and coupled to the outer shell, and an inner liner disposed within and coupled in spaced opposition to the outer liner. A damper array may allow for omnidirectional movement of the inner liner relative to the outer liner and the outer shell.

A helmet pad includes a substrate having first side attachable to an interior surface of a helmet. The helmet pad includes an outer lattice layer peripherally attached to a second side of the substrate. The second side is opposite to the first side. In one embodiment, the outer lattice layer includes fibers attached in one of: (i) a Voronoi lattice unit cells; and (ii) tetrahedral lattice unit cells. The helmet pad includes padding material received in an enclosure between the second surface of the substrate and the outer lattice layer.

A body limb protection system includes an outer layer, an inner layer, and a force dampening and defusing structure. The outer layer includes a first material composition and has an exterior surface that includes a substantially planer area. The inner layer includes a second material composition and has a shape corresponding to a body limb portion. The force dampening and defusing structure is positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer. The force dampening and defusing structure has a shape corresponding to a difference between the shapes of the inner and outer layers. The force dampening and defusing structure includes a plurality of components arranged to reduce pressure on the body limb portion when a force is applied to the substantially planer area.

An energy dissipating helmet, such as a football, baseball, hockey, construction, combat, bicycle, or motorcycle helmet, including a structural component adapted to receive an anticipatory impact having energy, and a stress-activated active material element, such as a Austenitic shape memory alloy wire, mesh, layer, or spring, communicatively coupled to the component, and activatable by the impact, so as to dissipate at least a portion of the energy.

A garment worn by a wearer has an exterior shell and an interior shell with various impact absorbing material between the exterior shell and the interior shell. The impact absorbing material includes multiple structures, such as rods or filaments, capable of deforming when force is applied then returning to its state prior to application of the force. In various embodiments, a rate sensitive material (RSM) is positioned in one or more locations relative to the exterior shell and the interior shell of the garment to further attenuate impacts to the garment. The RSM changes its resistance to force based on a rate at which the material is loaded.

The present invention is a helmet system that reduces concussions by damping rotational force transmitted to a helmet user. The helmet has an exterior shell and an internal body that moves independently from the exterior shell. At least one magnetic source on the exterior shell's interior has a dipole directed axially at the internal body. At least one magnetic source on the internal body has a dipole aligned with the same axis, directed at the exterior shell. In a resting state magnetic sources generate a weak magnetic field. When an impact rotates the exterior shell, it moves off the initial alignment and closer to the internal body. The previously aligned magnetic sources torque. The magnetic source on the internal body torques in the opposite direction of the rotation, as do all initially aligned magnetic sources impacted. Angular momentum is displaced, diffused, offset, damping rotational force transmitted to a helmet user.

This disclosure provides a method for making a helmet comprising a cavity between the outer shell and energy management layers.
