Protective Helmet

Abstract

A helmet having an outer shell. Connected to the outer shell and extending from the interior of the outer shell is a flexible outer lining. Attached to the outer lining is at least one compression absorbing layer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A helmet, comprising
 an outer shell;   a flexible outer lining extending from an interior of the outer shell; and   a plurality of compression absorbing layers removably attached to the flexible outer lining.   
     
     
         2 . The helmet of  claim 1  wherein the flexible outer lining is a spacing material. 
     
     
         3 . The helmet of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of compression absorbing layers provide a thin web like suspension that encases a liquid lubricant. 
     
     
         4 . The helmet of  claim 1  wherein an innermost layer of the plurality of compression layers is made of a flexible, absorbing, padding. 
     
     
         5 . The helmet of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of compression absorbing layers are made of a material selected from a group consisting of impact material, spacing material, and liquid. 
     
     
         6 . The helmet of  claim 1  further comprising, a face mask connected to the outer shell with a spacing material between the outer shell and the face mask. 
     
     
         7 . A helmet, comprising:
 an outer shell molded to a layer of urethane material;   an outer lining connected to the layer of urethane material; and   at least one compression absorbing layer connected to the outer lining.   
     
     
         8 . The helmet of  claim 7  wherein the layer of urethane material is molded to the outer shell at the edges to create a space for a spacing or liquid material. 
     
     
         9 . The helmet of  claim 7  wherein the outer lining is connected to the layer of urethane material to create a space for spacing material.
