BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
The present application refers to a protective helmet for cyclists, motorcyclists or in any type of sport, work or activity in general who have big, kinky, coily, afro-textured type 4 or 3 hair that does not lay flat, and that requires protection of the head with the helmet.
Background of the Art
While a user wears a helmet, the hair is often disheveled. At the same time, in sports such as cycling, climbing and other similar ones, as well as in motor sports, caving and other professional activities it is necessary to wear a helmet adapted to the contour of the head for protection in case of accidents. It is essential in all speed sports such as cycling, skateboarding, longboarding, mountainboarding and inline skating, among many others the protection of the head of the user is required.
There are many models, depending on the level of protection required, but all are based on surrounding the head with a rigid shell that can absorb the shock energy, breaking if necessary. These helmets are usually uncomfortable, for the head and especial for the hair and can be hot, so, users take them off as soon as possible and are disheveled and sweaty. While there are many helmets designed to protect the head, there are hardly any helmets designed for big, kinky, coily, hair. Most helmets are adapted to contour to the head and for people with flat hair, however, there are hardly any helmets that are contoured or catered to big, kinky, coily, afro-textured hair types. There are four hair types, type 1, is straight hair, type 2, is wavy hair, type 3, is curly hair, and type 4 is coily, big, afro-textured, inky hair. Most helmets are designed to contour to the heads of people that have type 1 and 2 hair types. Those people who have type 3 and type 4 hair types, which is hair that is coily, big, afro-textured, kinky, that does not lay flat, is not straight, that wear ponytails or similar big hairstyles, find themselves with an added discomfort. since most helmets are designed to adapt to the heads of people with type 1 and 2, straight, wavy, and flat hair and does not consider the hair types 3 and 4. Therefore, those with type 3 and 4 hair types are often uncomfortable wearing a helmet and/or avoid wearing a helmet altogether. With that said, the specular utility of this helmet can solve these problems and ensure that those with type 3 and type 4 hair types can wear a helmet that contours to their head, and hair, which protects them from severe injury and protects their hair SUMMARY
This technical scheme is a kind of safety helmet. The Crown Gravity Helix is a helmet that protects hair that defies gravity, such hair types 3 and 4, which are kinky, afro-textured curly, coily, and big hair, while also protecting your head while biking or engaging in other activities that require protection of the head. The invention consists of a helmet according to the first claim. It has different variants to solve the problems outlined. The helmet is designed to support those that have big, kinky, coily, curly, afro-textured, big hair and allows the use of hair in ponytails while in use, thus maintaining safety without creating unnecessary discomfort. It is of the type that protects the head of a user, with a front and a rear part, and comprises a vertical slot in the rear part up to the border between the occipital bone and the parietal bone. The slot has in its opening a practicable, stiffening, security closure. The contour of the groove will preferably have a reinforcement to absorb the behavior modification.
