20140123360 | Military Helmet - Embodiments of a protective helmet have a shell formed from a cushioning material, a cushioning spacer layer coupled to the shell and only partially covering an inner surface of the shell, a ballistic-resistant inner shell having an outer surface attached to the cushioning spacer layer and an inner surface, and an innermost cushioning pad layer attached to the inner surface of the ballistic-resistant inner shell. A flexible thin cover extending around an outer surface of the cushioning shell and with or without graphics may be provided. | 05-08-2014 |
20140196198 | Protective Helmets - Embodiments of a protective helmet have a cushioning outer multilayer structure with at least two cushioning layers of materials having different densities and different geometric layouts, a multilayer hard inner structure attached to the interior surface of the cushioning multilayer structure, and an innermost cushioning structure attached to the inner surface of the multilayer hard inner structure. The multilayer hard inner structure is formed from at least two spaced layers of hard material and a layer of cushioning material therebetween. The innermost cushioning structure may be a multilayer structure similar to the outer multilayer structure with at least two cushioning layers of materials having different densities and different geometric layouts. The innermost cushioning structure may include sensors, optionally in a separate layer, and a thermal-control layer. A flexible thin cover extending around an outer surface of said shell and with or without graphics may be provided. | 07-17-2014 |
20140252814 | Car Seat - Embodiments of a highly protective, safe and strong car seat are disclosed and include an outer protective shell, an inner seat, a suspension system connecting and permitting relative movement between the inner seat and the outer protective shell, and a harness adapted to hold an occupant to the inner seat and not attached to the outer protective shell. In the case of an accident, regardless of the direction in which the seat is facing and regardless of whether the result is a sudden acceleration and/or deceleration, the inner seat will move inside the frame, and the suspension system will absorb some, much, or all of the energy. Energy not absorbed by the suspension system may be absorbed by the inner seat itself. The frame is of extremely high strength and will remain structurally intact in almost all circumstances thereby protecting the occupant of the car seat. | 09-11-2014 |
20150223546 | Protective Helmets - Embodiments of a protective helmet have a shell formed from a cushioning material, a cushioning spacer layer coupled to the shell and only partially covering an inner surface of the shell, and a hard inner structure having an outer surface attached to the cushioning spacer layer and an inner surface. An innermost cushioning pad layer may be attached to the inner surface of the hard inner structure. A flexible thin cover extending around an outer surface of said shell and with or without graphics may be provided. | 08-13-2015 |
20150251567 | Car Seat - Embodiments of a car seat include an outer protective shell, an inner seat, a suspension system connecting and permitting relative movement between the inner seat and the outer protective shell for shock isolation, and a harness adapted to hold an occupant to the inner seat and not attached to the outer protective shell. In an accident, regardless of the direction in which the seat is facing and regardless of whether the result is a sudden acceleration and/or deceleration, the inner seat will move inside the frame, and the suspension system will absorb some, much, or all of the energy. Energy not absorbed by the suspension system may be absorbed by the inner seat itself and/or an anchor system used to connect the car seat to a vehicle. The frame of the seat will remain structurally intact in almost all circumstances thereby protecting the occupant of the car seat. | 09-10-2015 |
20160059744 | Car Seat Vehicle Connection System, Apparatus, and Method - A car seat connection system for connecting the car seat to a vehicle is provided. The system includes at least one strap, each having a first connector at a respective first end of said strap and a second connector at a respective second end of said strap. The first connector is configured to removably connect to the car seat and the second connector is configured to removably connect to a car seat anchor of the vehicle. The seat connector and the first connector may be seatbelt connectors of opposite gender. The second connector may be a LATCH or ISOFIX connector. A method is provided for removably connecting the car seat to the vehicle. The method includes connecting the first connector to the seat connector of the car seat and connecting the second connector to the car seat anchor of the vehicle. | 03-03-2016 |
20160059748 | Car Seat - Embodiments of a car seat include an outer protective shell, an inner seat, a suspension system connecting and permitting relative movement between the inner seat and the outer protective shell. The suspension system may include a plurality of deformable webs. Also, at least one padding element may be in contact with and interposed between the outer protective shell and the inner seat. In an accident, regardless of the direction in which the seat is facing and regardless of whether the result is a sudden acceleration and/or deceleration, the inner seat will move inside the frame, and the suspension system will absorb some, much, or all of the energy either by elastic or plastic deformation. Energy not absorbed by the suspension system may be absorbed by the inner seat itself and/or an anchor system used to connect the car seat to a vehicle. | 03-03-2016 |
20160078737 | CAR SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION AND ALERT APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD - A car seat occupant detection system for a car seat installed in a vehicle is provided. The system includes at least one harness sensor for detecting whether connectors of a car seat harness are connected and a weight sensor for detecting the weight of an occupant in the car seat. The system includes a controller in communication with the at least one harness sensor and the weight sensor. The system includes a transceiver configured to selectively communicate with a driver device via a local wireless link and with a third party device via a wide area wireless link. The controller determines whether or not an occupant in the car seat has been abandoned by a driver based on detections of the at least one harness sensor, the weight sensor, and communication range status between the transceiver and the driver communication device via the local wireless link. | 03-17-2016 |
