Abstract: A helmet for ball sports has a main body and two strengthening elements. The two strengthening elements are mounted on two inner walls of the main body. A first surface of each strengthening element abuts and is connected to the main body. Second surfaces of the strengthening elements face to each other. Through holes of each strengthening element are formed through the first surface and the second surface so that the strengthening elements are latticed. With the helmet mounted with the strengthening elements on two sides, the strengthening elements enhance an anti-impact capacity on the two sides of the helmet. Besides, with the latticed strengthening elements, the weights of the strengthening elements are lightened and do not cause weighted burden on the neck of the user.

Abstract: The Differential Shock Absorbing High Heel Foot Insole System is a differential shock absorption system designed to effectively absorb the shock while providing the comfort to the wearer of the high heels, especially the highest ones. The system provides an effective solution minimize the excruciating pain being felt when wearing high heels, especially the highest ones. The pain felt is a result to the repeated shocks experienced by a very small area of the underfoot each time the human foot undergoes a step in high heels. Differential Shock Absorbing High Heel Foot Insole System takes into account a correct estimation of the materials compression force deflection and peak deceleration properties, providing the correct level of shock absorption required parameters, plus the added cushioning effect for comfort of the wearer, which are crucial in the material selection to absorb the shocks when wearing high heels, something which other products out on the market and/or solutions proposed are lacking of.
