  • a "mesh” is a network of conduits within which fluid is displaced on receipt of a blow in such a manner that force associated with impact of the blow is distributed away from the vicinity of the blow and energy associated with impact of the blow is dissipated.

  • a conduit may serve as a channel for conveying fluid and in addition may serve as a reservoir of variable volume for fluid. Accordingly, in the course of deformation of the medium at a given location of a conduit, the conduit expels fluid from the given location. However, since the medium is deformable, the conduit conveys fluid away from the given location, and conduit portions located away from the given location will expand to receive fluid displaced as a result of the deformation.
  • a “reservoir” is a conduit in a deformable medium for holding, supplying, or receiving fluid.
  • a "channel” is a conduit in a deformable medium for conveying fluid.

  • the distribution of forces, in a direction normal to the head caused by the blow as transmitted by the helmet and liner is illustrated by vectors 25.

  • the liner 21 has the effect, among other things, of distributing force of the blow away from the region of impact.
  • the liner responds to a blow by deformation triggering the flow of fluid within and also by causing propagation of a pressure wave through the fluid.

EPS is one-use only (permanently deforms) whereas EPP may be reusable, at least to some extent. In the latter category, is Cell-Flex NX210, available from Der-Tex Corp, Saco, ME. Additional materials of this type are available from Foam Fabricators Inc., Scottsdale, AZ. Desirable performance characteristics of closed-cell foam for the liner are elastic deformability on receipt of a blow.
  • Such characteristics enable the liner to experience local deformation on receipt of the blow to cause movement of fluid away from the area of impact, and also expansion of conduits in the liner in regions away from the area of impact. Also desirably in many cases, after impact the liner and conduits in the liner return generally to their original shapes and pressure of the fluid returns to pre-impact levels. Materials providing elastic deformation may be desirable in many cases in comparison to those providing plastic or permanent deformation because the former materials provide an opportunity for reuse of the liner.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un revêtement de sécurité contenant un fluide qui inclut un revêtement de mousse à alvéoles fermées qui utilise une série de canaux et de réservoirs pour répartir les forces et distribuer un fluide contenu dans le revêtement partout dans différentes zones du revêtement. Le revêtement peut être utilisé dans un dispositif de protection tel qu'un casque et a une forme qui se conforme à la zone de protection. Le système de canaux et de réservoirs inclut généralement un réseau de canaux et de réservoirs couplés dans la mousse à alvéoles fermées. Le système de canaux et de réservoirs inclut généralement également un fluide incompressible pouvant de déplacer partout dans le système pour redistribuer la pression et absorber la force de tout impact par écoulement visqueux. La diminution de la force maximale et l'allongement de la durée de la force réduit la gravité biomécanique (par ex. le critère de blessure à la tête (HIC)) d'un choc sur le dispositif de protection.
