Fiber Reinforced Impact Dissipating Liners and Methods for Making Fiber Reinforced Impact Dissipating Liners

摘要

An impact dissipating liner (10, 140, 150), a helmet having an impact dissipating liner (355) and a method of making the impact dissipating liner are provided. The liner comprises a fluid impermeable enclosure (11, 141, 151) having a cavity (17, 147, 157) with sidewalls, a sheet of reinforced fabric (20, 120, 222) and a fluid (24, 242) contained within the enclosure. do. The enclosure 11 , 141 , 151 may have a central portion 236 and lobes 228 , 230 , 232 , 234 extending from the central portion, wherein the central portion and the lobes follow the shape of the inner surface of the helmet. is adjusted to Reinforcing sheets 20 , 120 , 222 may be made from a wide variety of materials and may provide improved structural support, structural integrity, and/or durability to the liner. Aspects of the present invention are adapted for use as head care; However, aspects of the present invention may be adapted to provide impact dissipation to any body part or surface.
