Patent number: 11690423Abstract: A flex cell for absorbing energy from an applied force includes a panel attached to a flex cage. The flex cage is made from a resilient material that allows deformation of the flex cage when a force is applied to the flex cell. The flex cell is attachable to a support surface. In some instances, the flex cell is detached from the support surface when sufficient force is applied to the flex cell.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Turtle Shell Protective Systems LLCInventor: Darin D.
