IMPACT ABSORBING STRUCTURES FOR ATHLETIC HELMET

A garment worn by a wearer has an exterior shell and an interior shell with impact absorbing material comprising various structures between the exterior shell and the interior shell. When force is applied to the exterior shell, the structures of the impact absorbing materials deform (e.g., compress), reducing the force received by the interior shell. For example, the impact absorbing material forms structures such as multiple branched Y shapes or multiple cylindrical rods with a surface contacting the exterior shell and a surface contacting the interior shell. The interior of the rods and other impact absorbing structures may be filled with a deformable material, such as foam. The impact absorbing material may be formed into jacks, spherical shapes, bristles, intersecting arches, or othershapes positioned between the exterior shell and the interior shell. 种由佩戴者佩戴的服装具有外壳体和内壳体以及冲击吸收材料，冲击吸收材料包括内壳体与外壳体之间的各种结构。当对外壳体施加力时，冲击吸收材料的结构变形(例如，压缩)，减小内壳体所受到的力。例如，冲击吸收材料形成具有接触外壳体的表面和接触内壳体的表面的结构，比如多个分支的"Y"形或多个柱状杆。杆和其他冲击吸收结构的内部
