Abstract:
A NOCSAE-certified football helmet having a plastic shell, internal padding attached to an inner surface of the shell, and a face guard attached to the shell, is configured and designed to have a Predictive Concussion Incidence below 1.90, or 0.75 plus or minus 0.25, or in the range of 0.50 to 1.90, as measured by the 2018 Adult Football STAR Methodology. The face guard is attached to the shell at a plurality of attachment points below a line constructed through the midpoint of the height of the helmet and has an upper portion which contacts the shell above the face opening, without being attached to the shell at that point. The internal padding includes a front pad attached within the shell above the face opening, defining a first zone of a first stiffness and, adjacent to and above the first zone, a second zone of a second stiffness lower than the first stiffness. The internal padding also includes helmet liners which are not inflatable, and which contain Poron pads.

Claim (Index 27):
The football helmet of  claim 21  wherein the internal padding comprises a front pad attached within the shell in a front area of the helmet above a face opening of the shell, the front pad comprising a polymer sheet having integrally formed, tapering, hollow projections extending from the sheet in both the first section and the second section, the projections spaced apart from each other, the projections in the first section being made of a first polymer material having a first durometer, the projections in the second section being made of a second polymer material having a second durometer less than the first durometer.
