Bumping heads together in football, other contact sports and sports or wherever helmets are worn while making contact with the ground can lead to serious head injury called chronic brain injury (CBI), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) or concussion (a person loses consciousness upon the head trauma). John E. Hall Technologies LLC and Medicine Hall have found a helpful measure in providing a safer helmet by the use of “wave springs” to act as shock absorbers for the head when placed in an array around the inside lining of a helmet. Most helmets are made with a styrofoam lining and these are ideal for making sockets to house the wave spring shock absorbers. Wave springs are significant because the design of them allows for shock absorption in an overall length of the spring to be half the length of a regular compression spring and still provide the same protection.
Vinyl capped wave springs can be mounted in styrofoam lined helmets at Medicine Hall and John E. Hall Technologies LLC for $15.00 each wave spring. The helmet to be converted over should be mailed in an appropriate sized hat box (helmet box) and allow $10.00 extra for shipping and handling. Include $150 per helmet. US Provisional patents 63/475,918 filed 12/29/2022 and 63/473,790 filed 6/24/2022 cover these technologies.
