Patent number: 11852297Abstract: A container includes one or more hollow shell assemblies, each assembly having a first hollow shell including a first inner surface to cover a portion of a pressure vessel (PV) and a second hollow shell including a second inner surface attachable to the first hollow shell. The first and/or second hollow shells may include a fiber layer that may be at least partially impregnated with resin, and an energy dissipating material that is substantially concentric with the inner surfaces of the respective shells. The first and second hollow shells are attachable to one another to define a volume for at least partially enclosing the PV, and may be overwrapped via filament winding.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Helicoid Industries Inc.Inventors: Lorenzo Mencattelli, Pascal Joubert Des Ouches, Chadwick Wasilenkoff

Patent number: 11376812Abstract: Described herein are details for designing and manufacturing enhanced shock and impact resistant helicoidal lay-ups by combining nanomaterials, variable pitch and partial spirals, Thin unidirectional fiber plies, hybrid materials, and/or curved fibers within a ply. The helicoidal structures created in the prescribed manners can be tuned and pitched to desired wavelengths to dampen propagating shock waves initiated by ballistics, strike forces or foreign material impacts and can arrest the propagation of fractures including catastrophic fractures. These enhancements open the helicoidal technology up for use in such applications as consumer products, protective armor, sporting equipment, crash protection devices, wind turbine blades, cryogenic tanks, pressure vessels, battery casings, automotive/aerospace components, construction materials, and other composite products.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Helicoid Industries Inc.Inventors: Douglas McCarville, Chad Wasilenkoff, Pascal Joubert des Ouches, David Kisailus

Publication number: 20070157370Abstract: The protective helmet (1) comprises a deformable foam liner (7), a plurality of shell segments (9), and joining means made of flexible material performing joining between the shell segments (9). The shell segments (9) are arranged on the foam liner (7) so as to form at least one crown segment (9a), at least one occipital segment and a plurality of transverse side segments (9c). The shell segments (9) and the joining means made of flexible material are joined to the foam liner (7) in such a way as to allow a slight sliding between the foam liner (7) and at least a part of the shell segments (9). The helmet (1) preferably comprises a headband adjustment means (14) designed to adjust the size of the helmet (1) and to optimize user comfort.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2005Publication date: July 12, 2007Inventor: Pascal Joubert Des Ouches
