Abstract:
A protective football helmet is provided having a one-piece molded shell with an impact attenuation system. This system includes an impact attenuation member formed in an extent of the front shell portion by removing material from the front portion. The impact attenuation member changes how a portion of the shell having the impact attenuation member responds to an impact force having a component applied substantially normal to the impact attenuation member as compared to how the left and right side portions respond to the impact force.

Claim (Index 1):
A helmet to be worn by a player while playing football, the helmet comprising:\n a one-piece shell comprising:\n a crown portion defining an upper region of the shell; \n a front portion extending generally forwardly and downwardly from the crown portion, the front portion having a lower frontal shell region that is adjacent a lower frontal edge of the shell; \n left and right side portions extending generally downwardly and laterally from the crown portion, each of the left and right side portions having an ear flap configured to overlie an ear of the player wearing the helmet; \n a rear portion extending generally rearwardly and downwardly from the crown portion; and \n an impact attenuation member formed in the front portion of the shell above the lower frontal edge of the shell; and \n an inner padding disposed within the shell, wherein an extent of the impact attenuation member is capable of being elastically displaced inward of the lower frontal shell region when an impact force is applied substantially normal to the front portion of the shell.
