Safety helmet
Disclosed is a safety helmet including an energy distribution part arranged in a body part of the safety helmet for distributing the energy of an impact in the safety helmet.
1. A safety helmet comprising:
a body part with a crown area and sides located below the crown area,
the body part including an energy distribution part formed on an inside of the body part, the energy distribution part being defined by a wall thickness change of the body part so that at least a part of a thickness of the energy distribution part is more than a thickness of the body part to transfer force from a top of the body part, through the energy distribution part, to the sides of the body part, the energy distribution part distributing energy of an impact in the safety helmet, the body part and the energy distribution part being formed of a same material.
2. The safety helmet according to claim 1 , wherein the energy distribution part has a shape of a cross.
3. The safety helmet according to claim 2 , wherein at least part of the energy distribution part is arranged to the crown area of the safety helmet.
4. The safety helmet according to claim 2 , further comprising a suspension system.
5. The safety helmet according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of the energy distribution part is arranged to the crown area of the safety helmet.
6. The safety helmet according to claim 1 , further comprising a suspension system.
7. The safety helmet according to claim 1 , wherein the safety helmet is made of polycarbonates (PC), polycarbonate glass fiber, polyamide, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene or polyoxymethylene (POM).
8. The safety helmet of claim 1 , further comprising a suspension system,
wherein at least part of the energy distribution part is arranged inside the suspension system on the inside of the crown area of the body part,
wherein a shape of the energy distribution part inside the crown area is a cross shape, and
wherein the wall thickness of the energy distribution part changes relative to the body part with edges of the energy distribution part tapering down from a top of the crown area to deflect and transfer force from the crown area, through the energy distribution part, to the sides of the helmet.
