About cone-head™

The innovation is a shock absorbing foam liner for helmets.

The new cone-head™ acts like a crumple zone around the head to absorb and dissipate impact forces more effectively than current hard foam liners.

The unique benefits are:

• To improve the ability of the shock absorbing liner in safety helmets to absorb an impact force more effectively and help to reduce the deceleration of the head.

• It takes into account the different thicknesses and strengths of the skull without compromising on standards.

• It reduces the overall mass of the helmet and therefore it will reduce the effects of rotational acceleration of the head during impact.

• It improves confort because of the lighter mass of the helmet..

The cone-head™ liner has a high level of innovation because it:

• Will initially crush or compress on impact allowing the liner to absorb an impact force more effectively when compared with current single-density hard foam liners in helmets. The initial crushing helps to reduce the rate of deceleration of the head thereby reducing intra-cranial injuries.

• Takes into account the different thicknesses and strengths of the skull by providing added protection where needed without compromising on standards.
