  • the wedging member 44 has a thickness that increases gradually from its top edge up to its bottom edge as best shown in Figure 6 . Because of its increased thickness, the wedging member 44 therefor acts as a wedge wherein vertical upward displacement of the single wedging member 44 between the rear shell 18 and the central member 38 moves the occipital inner pad 36 from its first position, shown in Figures 7A and 8A , towards its second position, shown in Figures 8A and 8B , wherein the occipital inner pad 36 applies a greater pressure upon the occipital region OC.
  • the occipital inner pad 36 applies a first pressure upon the occipital region OC.
  • the occipital inner pad 36 applies a second pressure upon the occipital region OC wherein the second pressure is greater than the first pressure.
  • the occipital inner pad 36 faces the occipital region OC and is movable between the first position shown in Figures 7A and 8A to the second position shown in Figures 7B and 8B .
  • the occipital inner 36 applies pressure upon the occipital region OC for urging the front portion 12 (the front shell 16 and front inner pad 26) towards the crown region CR (as previously indicated, the crown region CR has a front part that substantially corresponds to the forehead and a top part that substantially corresponds to the front top part of the head).
  • the pressure applied by the occipital inner pad 36 induces a corresponding movement of the helmet 10 towards the back of the head, necessary to seat the front portion 12 of the helmet 10 against the crown region CR.
  • the occipital inner pad 36 applies a first pressure upon the occipital region OC, and in the second position, the occipital inner pad 36 applies a second pressure upon the occipital region OC, the second pressure being greater than the first pressure.
  • the occipital inner pad 36 may be made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) or expanded polyethylene (EPE) or polyethylene foam or polyethylene foam having two different densities. Other materials can also be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.

  • the occipital inner pad 36 may comprise a rear portion and a front portion that is less rigid than the rear portion.
  • the front portion may be made of a soft absorbent material while the rear portion may be made of a rigid plastic-like material or equivalent.
  • One or more comfort liners may be affixed to the inner surface of the occipital inner pad 36.
  • the central member 38 is an elongated piece extending along the longitudinal axis A-A of the helmet 10 from the upper part 40 to the lower part 42.
  • the upper part 40 is hingedly mounted with respect to the rear shell 18 (e.g. to the rear inner pad 32 as best shown in Figures 8A and 8B ); or to the inner surface 20 of the rear shell 18 (now shown)).
  • the rear inner pad 26 may include a groove 48 and a recessed portion 50 to partially accommodate the central member 38 and the rear inner pad 26.
  • the rear inner pad 26 may also include apertures 52 to receive corresponding pegs 54 provided on the upper part 40 such that the upper part 40 is hingedly mounted to the rear inner pad 24.
  • Hinging may be provided in the central member 38 by any suitable means, and in the example shown, it is provided by the bendability of all the portion of the central member 38 that extends below the upper part 40, and more particularly, the portion of the central member 32 located between the upper and lower parts 40, 42.
  • the lower part 42 is mounted to the occipital inner pad 36.
  • the lower part 42 is screwed to the occipital inner pad 36.
  • Other affixing means e.g. glue, stitches, rivets, tacks, staples
  • the central member may be attached to the occipital inner pad by virtue of being integral, and therefore continuous, with the occipital inner pad.
  • the central member may be integrally formed with the rear inner pad at its upper part and integrally formed with the occipital inner pad at its lower part.
  • the single wedging member 44 may comprise a locking mechanism which can be any suitable mechanism for preventing unintentional movement of the single wedging member 44.
  • the locking mechanism comprises protrusions 56 provided on the wedging member 44 adapted to register between notches 58 extending from the inner surface 20 of the rear shell 18 and on each side of the elongated slot 34.
  • Figure 9A shows the wedging member 44 in a lock position.
  • the locking mechanism is engaged and the protrusions 56 register between the notches 58.
  • the wedging member 44 is in the unlock position, as shown in Figure 9B , the wedging member 44 is pushed away from the inner surface 20 of the rear shell 18 and the protrusions 56 no longer register between the notches 58 such that movement of the wedging member 44 is possible.
  • Any other frictional engagement is contemplated for the locking mechanism.
  • a rubber friction surface could also be used.
  • the single actuator 46 has a post portion 46b extending from a button portion 46a through the elongated slot 34, passing through an aperture provided in the wedging member 44 and having a distal end 46c with a diameter larger than the one of the wedging member 44 for securing the actuator 46 to the wedging member 44.
  • the single actuator 46 can be made of a resilient material having a resiliency such that the post portion 46b and distal end 46c pull the wedging member 44 towards the inner surface 20 of rear shell 18 and holds the wedging member 44 in the lock position.
  • the single actuator 46 can be made of a resilient material such as NYLONTM or polyacetal (DELRINTM) that has the characteristic to return to its original shape when pressure is no longer applied on it.
  • the actuator may comprise a spring for urging the wedging member 44 in the lock position. Any other suitable biasing means could be used for urging the wedging member 44 in the lock position.
  • the single actuator 46 may have a length when relaxed that is shorter than the distance required to connect the actuator 46 to the wedging member 44 when the wedging member is in the lock position. As such, the elastomeric material of actuator 46 may be stretched when the wedging member 44 is in the lock position such that a pretension is caused whereby the resilience of the elastomeric material of the actuator 46 pulls the wedging member 44 towards the inner surface 20 of rear shell 18 and holds the wedging member 44 in the lock position.
  • the rear shell 18 follows a curvature (in a horizontal plane) while the rear surface of the occipital inner pad 36 extends generally perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the helmet 10.
  • the rear shell may follow a curvature (in a vertical plane) while the central member may extend along a different curvature when no pressure is applied on it such that the space between the rear shell and central member reduces gradually in an upward direction.
  • the present invention provides the player of the hockey or lacrosse helmet 10 with an easy and convenient way to adjust the occipital inner pad 36.
  • the single wedging member 44 is moveable via the single actuator 46 to adjust the position of occipital the occipital inner pad 36 while the helmet 10 is being worn.
  • a locking mechanism which may be a series of protrusions provided on the single wedging member 44 that register with corresponding notches or indentations projecting from the inner surface 20 of the rear shell 18 for preventing the unintentional displacement of the single wedging member 44 when the locking mechanism is in the lock position.
