Helmet

Abstract

A helmet comprising an energy absorbing layer ( 2 ) and a sliding facilitator ( 5 ) is provided. The sliding facilitator is provided inside of the energy absorbing layer ( 2 ). A method of manufacturing a helmet comprising a sliding facilitator is further provided. The method comprising the steps of: providing an energy absorbing layer in the mould, and providing a sliding facilitator contacting the energy absorbing layer.

1 . A helmet, comprising an energy absorbing layer and an attachment device provided for attachment of the helmet to a wearer's head, wherein a sliding facilitator is being provided inside of the energy absorbing layer and the sliding facilitator is fixated to the attachment device and/or the inside of the energy absorbing layer for providing slidability between the energy absorbing layer and the attachment device. 
     
     
         2 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer shell is arranged outside of the energy absorbing layer. 
     
     
         3 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment device is fixated to at least one of the energy absorbing layer or the outer shell by means of at least one fixation member. 
     
     
         4 . The helmet according to  claim 3 , wherein the fixation member is able to absorb energy and forces by deforming in an elastic, semi-elastic or plastic way. 
     
     
         5 . The helmet according to  claim 3 , wherein the fixation member comprises at least one suspension member, having a first and second portion, wherein the first portion of the suspension member is adapted to be fixated to the attachment device, and wherein the second portion of the suspension member is adapted to be fixated to the energy absorbing layer. 
     
     
         6 . The helmet according to  claim 1 , wherein the sliding facilitator is a low friction material that is either connected to or integrated with the attachment device on its surface facing the energy absorbing layer or provided on or integrated in the inside surface of the energy absorbing layer facing the attachment device. 
     
     
         7 . A method of manufacturing a helmet comprising a sliding facilitator, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing an energy absorbing layer in a mould, and   providing a sliding facilitator in relation to the energy absorbing layer.   
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , further comprising the step of fixating a head attachment system to at least one of: the energy absorbing layer and the sliding facilitator using at least one fixation member.
