Abstract
A survivability and safety unit (also referred to as a safety unit) can be worn in high contact activities to minimize injuries and help prevent quadriplegic injuries and concussions. The safety unit of the present invention provides synthetic muscle and skeleton frame, strength and resistance enhancement. The safety unit of the present invention can replicate muscle and bone function as a kinematic device. It can withstand high velocity impacts, it dampens the impact load and extends the shock absorption distribution.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A survivability, sustainability and safety unit, device or garment to be worn in high contact, impact or endurance activities, the survivability, sustainability and safety unit, device or garment comprising:
a globe and base shell frame; and a synthetic muscle shell bonded to the globe and base shell frame, wherein the synthetic muscle shell is formed in a peanut shape and is adapted to fit about the back and sides of a neck of a user.
2 . The survivability, sustainability and safety unit, device or garment of claim 1 , further comprising a tension and stabilizer strap bonded to the synthetic muscle shell.
3 . The survivability, sustainability and safety unit, device or garment of claim 2 , further comprising an adjustable strap bonded to the synthetic muscle shell and the tension and stabilizer strap.
4 . The survivability, sustainability and safety unit, device or garment of claim 1 , further comprising a skin side memory reactive smart film or form shell layer bonded to an inside of the global and base shell frame.
5 . A survivability, sustainability and safety unit to be worn in high contact activities, the survivability, sustainability and safety unit comprising:
a globe and base shell frame; a synthetic muscle shell bonded to the globe and base shell frame; a tension and stabilizer strap bonded to the synthetic muscle shell; and an adjustable strap bonded to the synthetic muscle shell and the tension and stabilizer strap, the adjustable strap operable to span about a front of a user's neck wherein the synthetic muscle shell is formed in a peanut shape and is adapted to fit about the back and sides of the neck of the user.
6 . The survivability, sustainability and safety unit of claim 5 , further comprising a skin side memory reactive smart film or form shell layer bonded to an inside of the global and base shell frame.
7 . A method for reducing head and neck impact injuries, comprising:
disposing a survivability, sustainability and safety unit, device or garment about the user's neck, the safety unit, device or garment including a globe and base shell frame and a synthetic muscle shell bonded to the globe and base shell frame, wherein the synthetic muscle shell is formed in a peanut shape and is adapted to fit about the back and sides of a neck of a user; attaching an adjustable strap around a front portion of the user's neck; and absorbing and dampening impact received on the user's head, neck and spine through the safety unit, device or garment mimicking neck muscles of the user.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
