Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a high energy absorbing structure that can be attached to existing shoulder pads worn by football players and hockey players to prevent head, neck and cervical spine injuries. The apparatus makes impossible axial loading of the upper cervical spine and eliminates the possibility of a serious concussion by not permitting direct head to head contact between players. The apparatus is designed to allow a complete range of motion of the head and is spaced apart from the wearer's helmet.

Problems solved by technology

This apparatus eliminates the possibility of a serious concussion by not permitting direct head to head contact between players.

Abstract

A high impact sport absorbing and dissipating device designed to be mounted on a chest / back impact absorbing device. The impact absorbing device comprises a head cover structure and a ring holder structure mechanically coupled to a retractor mechanism attached to the waist band by means of several straps. The impact absorbing unit eliminates the chances of the wearer receiving a concussion to the head thus preventing chronic traumatic encephalopathy and possible neck or upper spinal chord injuries.

Description

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT[0001]N / ARELATED APPLICATIONS[0002]N / ABACKGROUND OF INVENTIONField of the Invention[0003]The present disclosure relates, in general, to an apparatus worn by a user of a high impact sport in order to prevent head and neck injuries to the user during an upper body impact.Background of the Invention[0004]In contact sports such as American football, injury is relatively common due to the collisions and force of impact between players. Over 4 million concussion and sports-related brain injuries occur each year with nearly 48,000 reported cases occurring in youth football leagues and 250,000 in high school football programs. It is also estimated that more than 35,000 injuries go undiagnosed annually.[0005]Concussions, in particular, happen to be one of the most severe hazards for football players. Concussions occur from physical trauma to the cranial region and can result in serious life-long disabilities. Due to this danger,...
