Wearable impact protection and force channeling device

1. A protective device operable to transfer force from a first portion of a user to a second portion of the user, the device comprising:

a first component operable to encapsulate the first portion of the user, at least a portion of the first component being at least partially transparent to permit the user to view through the portion of the first component;

a second component operable to secure the first component to the second portion of the user, the second component including at least one mounting collar secured to the remainder of the second component via a spring-loaded compression ring so that the at least one mounting collar is biased away from the remainder of the second component; and

a third component secured to the second component, the third component operable to be at least partially inflated by the user to cause the third component to be fitted to the user and limit movement of the user relative to the second component while using the protective device.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein,

the first component is at least partially dome-shaped.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein,

the second component is operable to function as a body harness.

4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a circulation system operable to (i) permit gas to enter and/or exit the first component, and (ii) maintain a degree of visibility through the portion of the first component.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein,

the circulation system includes at least one vent in the first component.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the third component includes at least one interior compression pad having an inflatable bladder.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the second component includes an access port to provide access through the second component to inflate the inflatable bladder.

8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising:

at least one inflation valve accessible via the access port on the second component, the at least one inflation valve in communication with the inflatable bladder.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein,

the at least one inflation valve is recessed relative to an outermost surface of the second component.

10. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one front opening in the second component.

11. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one locking mechanism operable to secure the first component to the second component.

12. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a mouthpiece ring operable to secure a mouth guard to the device.

13. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one fastener on the second component.

14. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one shoulder pad and/or chest plate on the second component.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the first component is operable to be secured to the second component by insertion of the first component into the second component.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the first portion of the user is a head of the user, and

the second portion of the user is a body of the user.

17. The device of claim 1 , the compression ring includes a spring-loaded channel.

18. A protective device operable to transfer force from a first portion of a user to a second portion of the user, the device comprising:

a first component operable to encapsulate the first portion of the user, at least a portion of the first component being at least partially transparent to permit the user to view through the portion of the first component;

a second component operable to secure the first component to the second portion of the user, the second component including at least one mounting collar secured to the remainder of the second component via a spring-loaded compression ring so that the at least one mounting collar is biased away from the remainder of the second component; and

a third component secured at least partially within the second component, the third component operable to limit movement of the user relative to the second component.
