  • Patent number: 10349696
    Abstract: A helmet having an inner shell with a first projection and a second projection, an outer shell, and at least one shock absorption system. Each shock absorption system comprises a first recess disposed in the first projection, a second recess disposed in the second projection, and a leaf spring having a first leg, a second leg, and a curved middle portion. The first leg is received by the first recess and the second leg is received by the second recess. The leaf spring is adapted to flex and extend into the first and second recesses in response to an external impact to the helmet. The inner shell and outer shell may be composed of a synthetic fiber. The shock absorption system may also include a compression spring disposed between a flange of the leaf spring and the second projection of the inner shell.

  • Patent number: 9067067
    Abstract: A combined heat and current applicator assembly including a heat applicator, a current applicator and a control unit. The heat applicator includes a housing, a heated tip and a cable for receiving electricity from the control unit. The current applicator includes a housing, a current tip, and a cable for receiving a low amperage alternating current from the control unit. The control unit allows a user to adjust a temperature of the heated tip and amperage of the current tip. The current applicator applies the low amperage current through the current tip to a specific, isolated afflicted area of a user or patient in order to strengthen the immune system and decrease local inflammation.
