BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to protective devices and more particularly pertains to a new protective device for prevention of head injury, concussions, and brain trauma.

(2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98

The prior art relates to protective devices worn on the head. Many known types of helmets exist and often include a liner for improved protection and user comfort. However, these existing liners often do not employ ample shock absorption and cannot be adapted to a variety of different helmets.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a liner body having an inside, an outside, a bottom edge, and a front edge. The liner body has a front portion, a top portion, a left portion, a right portion, and a back portion. The bottom edge extends horizontally from the left portion, along the back portion, to the right portion. The front edge extends from the bottom edge up at an angle from the right portion, along the front portion, to the left portion. The liner body is dimensioned such that the bottom edge sits below a user's skull and the front edge extends from behind the user's ears, over the ears, and across the forehead above the user's eyebrows. A shock-absorptive filling is coupled within the liner body between the inside and the outside. A plurality of engagement members comprises a plurality of first engagement members coupled to the outside of the liner body and a plurality of second engagement members configured to be coupled to an inner side of a helmet. The first engagement members are selectively engageable with the second engagement members to secure the liner body to the helmet.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
