Patents by Inventor Clifford L. Tubbs

Clifford L. Tubbs has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20190320754
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a shock-absorbent junction between. the facemask and the helmet of a user, thus minimizing the likelihood of neck and cranial injury by maximizing impact energy absorption. The shock-absorbent junction including a first plate, a resilient material, and a second plate. Due to the possible geometrical symmetry of this embodiment, it is possible that the facemask be adapted in order to be attached to the first. plate while the helmet would be adapted to the second plate.

  • Publication number: 20190239592
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a helmet-facemasks system including a facemask, shock-absorbent mechanism facemask holders/clips and attaching mechanisms thus holding the face protective gear, including but not limit to facemask and chin guard. The shock-absorbent mechanism in combination with the clips, attaching mechanism and facemask are attached to the helmet in a fixed position while assisting with minimizing the impact force transfer by maximizing impact energy absorption.

  • Publication number: 20190090578
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a physiological and neurological monitoring apparatus that monitors and satisfies the need for an improved buffer between the skull of a user and the impacting object so as to minimize the likelihood of neck and cranial injury. Further the helmet comprises a facemask for prevent concussions by absorbing the energy from an impact and redirecting the energy across the structure of the helmet shell. The embodiment comprises a helmet shell with elongated cheek guards and an elongated rear neck guard which follows the contour of the user's shoulder line and continues sufficiently below the head of said user to cover the rear neck of the user. These additions help prevent concussions by providing a larger surface of protection to especially weak areas that are prone to injury such as the rear of the neck and the lower jaw line.
