Abstract: An oblique-impact protection technology member (20) contains a layer (50) of closed cell foam containing a first surface (52), a second surface (54), and a plurality of wells (56) on the first surface (52). The first surface (52) contains a plurality of first surface apertures (58) and the first surface apertures (58) have a square shape. The second surface (54) is opposite the first surface (52) and optionally contains a plurality of second surface apertures (62). Each well (56) corresponds to a first surface aperture (58) and the second surface (54) is substantially parallel; or parallel, to the first surface (52). A helmet (10) and/or a piece of sporting equipment (12) may contain this technology, and a process may manufacture this technology.

Abstract: An attachment for a helmet includes an external portion, an internal portion distal from the external portion, and a shaft extending between the external portion and the internal portion. The external portion contains an object to be attached to the helmet. An attachment system including a helmet is also described.

Abstract: A helmet has a memory foam member and an impact dissipating member in moulded together. A process for forming such a helmet is also provided. A helmet has a memory foam member and an impact-dissipating member. The memory foam member is formed from a memory foam material and the impact-dissipating member is formed from an impact-dissipating material and has an impact-dissipating member inner side and an impact-dissipating member outer side opposite the impact-dissipating member inner side. The memory foam member is in-moulded with the impact-dissipating member. Also, a process for forming a helmet by in-moulding a memory foam member and an impact-dissipating material together. The in-moulding process permanently binds the memory foam member outer side to the impact-dissipating member inner side.

Abstract: A helmet contains a convex, hard outer shell, a concave, impact-dissipating inner layer, a shield, and a shield cover. The concave, impact-dissipating inner layer is fitted to the convex, hard outer shell and contains a front portion having a shield indentation, a back portion, a top portion a right side portion, and a left side portion. The left side portion is opposite the right side portion. The shield is pivotably attached to the helmet via a fulcrum and pivots about the fulcrum. The shield also partially occludes the shield indentation. The shield cover is fixably attached to the helmet and at least partially occludes the front portion. The shield cover also at least partially occludes the shield.

Abstract: An improved bicycle helmet includes an inner layer having a concave shape, an outer layer having a convex shape, and a sun visor. The outer layer covers the inner layer and includes an outer layer attachment member and an outer layer lock member. The sun visor includes a shade member and a sun visor attachment member connected to and distal to the shade member. The sun visor attachment member is adapted to rotatably engage with the outer layer attachment member to form a fulcrum. The sun visor lock member is adapted to operatively engage the outer layer lock member so as to releasably lock the sun visor into a fixed position. The sun visor lock member and the outer layer lock member operatively engage so as to allow the sun visor to be releasably locked into one of a plurality of fixed positions. the sun visor attachment member and the outer layer attachment member rotatably engage via a snap fit fastener.

Abstract: A helmet(10) has a memory foam member(20) and an impact-dissipating member(26). The memory foam member(20) is formed from a memory foam material and the impact-dissipating member(26) is formed from an impact-dissipating material and has an impact-dissipating member inner side and an impact-dissipating member outer side opposite the impact-dissipating member inner side. The memory foam member(20) is in-moulded with the impact-dissipating member(26). Also, a process for forming a helmet(10) by in-moulding a memory foam member(20) and an impact-dissipating material together. The in-moulding process permanently binds the memory foam member outer side to the impact-dissipating member inner side.

Abstract: A helmet contains a convex, hard outer shell, a concave, impact-dissipating inner layer, a shield, and a shield cover. The concave, impact-dissipating inner layer is fitted to the convex, hard outer shell. The concave, impact-dissipating inner layer contains a front portion having a shield indentation, a back portion opposite the front portion, a top portion joining the front portion and the back portion, a right side portion joining the front portion, the back portion, and the top portion, and a left side portion joining the front portion, the back portion, and the top portion. The left side portion is opposite the right side portion. The shield is pivotably attached to the helmet via a fulcrum and pivots about the fulcrum. The shield also partially occludes the shield indentation. The shield cover is fixably attached to the helmet and at least partially occludes the front portion. The shield cover also at least partially occludes the shield.

Abstract: A safety helmet having an outer shell formed from a polycarbonate crown and an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene skirt, and an inner shell formed from expanded polystyrene. The inner shell is co-moulded with the outer shell.
