Patent number: 11918070Abstract: The invention relates to a system and/or an apparatus for an improved helmet system that may help reduce the severity of injuries by enhancing overall helmet protection through uniquely designed facemasks and facemask bumpers. The facemask and facemask bumpers that are particularly adapted to redistribute pressure and impact forces, decrease vibration, sudden shock, noise and/or the peak forces transmitted from the facemask to the rest of the helmet system. The facemask bumpers may be disposed into specific regions of the facemask, including the brow region, the glabella region, orbit region, the frontal region, the mandible (front, right and/or left side) region, the maxilla region, the nasal region, zygomatic region, the ethmoid region, the lacrimal region, the sphenoid region and/or any combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: VICIS IP, LLCInventors: Marie Pahlmeyer, Travis E. Glover, Jason Neubauer, Kurt V. Fischer, Noah Lanphear, Andre Stone, Adam Kollgaard, Kayla Fukuda, Derek Wallin, Cord Santiago

Publication number: 20240049827Abstract: Protective clothing and/or equipment may comprise a modular helmet assembly which comprises a plurality of impact mitigation modules positioned between an outer layer and an interior layer of the helmet, optionally with a plurality of perforations or openings in an outer shell of the helmet. The plurality of impact mitigation assemblies may comprise an impact absorbing array of impact mitigation structures having at least one filament and a lateral support wall or connecting element. When force is applied to the exterior surface, the structures of the impact absorbing materials deform in a desired and controlled manner, reducing the force received by the interior layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Jason Neubauer, Noah Lanphear, Travis E. Glover, Dave Marver, Cord Santiago, Kayla Fukuda, Andre H.P. Stone, Adam Kollgaard, Kurt Fischer, Marie Pahlmeyer, Rich Curren, Miguel Herrera, John Cagle

Publication number: 20240032636Abstract: The protective helmet, the fit pod assemblies and the respective components relates to methods, devices, and systems for improved helmet systems to enhance athletic performance by dispersing impact forces and/or improving helmet comfort and/or fit through size customization and/or conforming to contours of a wearer's head. If desired, the various fit pod assemblies can include modular features to provide a semi-custom and/or customized feel for plug and play assembly and/or retrofitting a commercially available helmet and/or other item of protective clothing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Travis E. Glover, Marie Pahlmeyer, Adam Kollgaard, Kayla Fukuda, Jason Neubauer, Andre H.P. Stone, Kurt Fischer
