Advanced Impact-Absorbing Protective Gear

Health & Safety
WO/2025/191068

Problem Solved

The invention addresses the need for effective protection against impacts, blows, and shots. Traditional protective gear often lacks flexibility, comfort, and effectiveness in dissipating energy from such forces, leading to potential injuries.

Core Features

The protective device is multi-layered, featuring a first layer on one side and a second layer with an elastic, geometric structure made from materials like plastic or silicone. This structure includes airtight cavities that absorb and dissipate energy. A third layer temporarily seals these cavities, enhancing protection.

Inventive Step

What sets this invention apart is the use of a unique geometric structure within the second layer that forms airtight cavities. These cavities are strategically designed to be open on one side, allowing them to absorb and manage impact forces more efficiently than traditional materials.

Benefits

This design offers superior protection by effectively absorbing and dispersing impact energy. It's lightweight, flexible, and can be incorporated into various protective gear, enhancing user comfort and mobility.

Broader Impact

The invention has the potential to revolutionize protective equipment across industries, from sports to military applications. It promotes safety and reduces injury risks, contributing to societal well-being and potentially lowering healthcare costs related to impact injuries.
