Abstract
A protective football helmet is provided having a two-piece mold shell diminution shell system. The helmet is comprised of a nine-piece part outer shell, a solid rim outer shell to deflect direct impact from the nine piece part outer shell, an inner liner helmet, compression springs as shocks, and a spin dial to control and restrict the movement of the compression springs and nine piece part outer shell. The nine piece part is a special designed helmet to absorb impact on contact from the crown of the helmet, all four sides and all angles in between to protect the players' head from direct contact at any angle. The outer shell diminution system is piece parted to absorb the impact energy individually by the outer shell protection. Each outer shell piece parted section takes on the impact of energy with an oval shape to deflect and transfer contact impact energy from one piece part to another, thereby dispersing the energy throughout the outer shell of the helmet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(24) A protective football helmet is provided having a two-piece mold shell diminution shell system. The outer shell diminution is a piece parted to absorb the impact energy individually by the outer shell protection. Each outer shell piece parted section takes on the impact of energy with an oval shape to deflect and transfer contact impact energy from one piece part to another. Thereby dispersing the energy throughout the outer shell of the helmet.
(25) The outer shell has a connected support system underneath each piece parted system supported by a shock absorber spring loaded pressure system which is connected to the inner shell.
(26) The inner shell is a solid shell. It is the third level of protection that works as a three parted unit to protect the human head from direct blow to the head from helmet to helmet contact. This inner helmet is designed to take on the initial linear force separately from the outer shell. The inner shell also has on the outer rim a solid piece completely around the helmet that is connected to the inner shell to connect the inner shell and the outer shell to makeup one helmet unit. Underneath the inner shell is a unique designed padding system.
(27) Note: some helmets have an outer solid piece around it and some don't. Also some have a solid rim and some don't.
(28) The present invention comprises a helmet. The helmet comprising a multi-piece outer shell comprising a plurality of female stud guides; a solid rim outer shell; an inner liner comprising a solid shell wherein the inner liner further comprises a plurality of inner liner helmet bosses and male stud guides; said plurality of male and female stud guides configured to provide a removable connection between each piece of the outer shell and the inner liner; a plurality of compression springs configured as shocks wherein said each of said plurality of compression springs further comprise a spin dial configured to permit adjustment of the tension of each of said plurality of compression springs; a padding located within said inner liner configured to contact a user's head; and said plurality of compression springs located between the multi-piece outer shell and the inner liner.
