Patent ID: 7917972

Claim:
A shock absorption system, comprising: a shell member constructed of a substantially flexible and resilient material, said shell member having first and second, substantially oppositely oriented, shock absorption faces, said first and second shock absorption faces being supported by an intervening margin structure which, with said first and second shock absorption faces, collectively define an interior shell member space, each of said shock absorption faces having an inwardly projecting dimple, said dimple on said first shock absorption face and said dimple on said second shock absorption face being respectively, relatively positioned and oriented whereby their respective, inwardly projecting apices are substantially aligned and oriented whereby, when a force is imparted to said first shock absorption face sufficient to depress said first shock absorption face and move its respective dimple toward the opposing said dimple of said second shock absorption face, across said interior shell member space, respective said apices come into closer juxtaposition, or into contact, depending on the magnitude of such force.
