Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a wearable head protection device that provides adjustable head and neck protection, enhancing safety during various riding conditions and potential impacts, while improving riding stability by automatically responding to detected instability.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The need for a head protection that ensures maximum safety and comfort for riders while being easy to carry and store is essential for enhancing the overall riding experience. Riders, whether on motorcycles, bicycles, or other forms of transport, require optimal head protection to safeguard against potential impacts, reducing the risk of serious injuries such as concussions or skull fractures in the event of an accident. Safety helmets are essential for protecting the head from potential injuries in high-risk environments. In recreational activities like cycling or motorcycling, helmets provide protection against falls and collisions. The psychological assurance they offer allows workers and participants to focus on their tasks or sports without constant fear of injury.

[0003] Traditional methods of head protection for riders, such as basic helmets, typically focus on providing a layer of padding and a hard outer shell to absorb impact. These helmets are often made from materials like foam and plastic, designed to meet basic safety standards. However, they often come with several drawbacks. One of the main issues is comfort, as traditional helmets are bulky, heavy, and poorly ventilated, leading to discomfort during long rides. The lack of proper ventilation also causes overheating, resulting in an unpleasant experience, especially in hot weather. Storage and portability are also challenging, as many helmets are large and cumbersome, making them difficult to carry when not in use. Additionally, traditional helmets do not always offer adequate visibility, particularly in low-light conditions, and do not include reflective elements or integrated lighting for better rider awareness.

[0004] US20130031700A1 relates to a device, system, and elements for providing customizable and regionalized head protection are disclosed. One or more protective elements and/or cushioning elements can be permanently or removably attached to a wearable shell, to provide an increased level of protection for a wearer. The size, shape, and composition of the one or more protective elements and/or cushioning elements can be varied to alter the level and location of protection provided by the head protection device. One or more accessories also can be included in the head protection device, such as light sources and reflectors to enhance the visibility of the head protection device and to provide illumination.

The device also has a health module for conveying health status of a user to a health monitoring system. The device may also comprise environmental sensors, touchscreen displays, and/or accelerometers.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices are available in the market that helps the user in head protection. However, these existing devices mentioned in the prior arts are lack in improving riding stability by monitoring the rider’s movement and providing automatic responses to any detected instability, ensuring continuous protection. In addition, these existing devices also fail in delivering real-time navigation and hazard alerts, making it difficult for the rider in making informed decisions while riding for improving situational awareness and safety.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that requires to be capable of automatically deploying protective measures to minimize the risk of injury. In addition, the developed devices also need to be capable of improving riding stability by monitoring the rider’s movement and providing automatic responses to any detected instability, ensuring continuous protection.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to a wearable head protection device that provides real-time navigation and hazard alerts to help the rider make informed decisions, while automatically deploying protective measures to minimize the risk of injury.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a wearable head protection device comprising a multi-segmented protective body 101 formed of a plurality of curved-shaped plates 102 connected via multi-hinges 103, a pair of Velcro straps 104 are attached with the body 101, a pair of motorized rollers 105 provided on the body 101 and coiled with the straps, a protective frame 106 mounted on the top side of the body 101 via spring linkage arrangements 107, a set of protective panels 108 connected to a bottom and rear side of the body 101 via foldable hinges 109, a projection unit 110 installed on an inner surface of the body 101, an AI-based camera 111 mounted on an outer portion of the body 101, a mini-hybrid airbag 112 mounted on a bottom neck portion of the body 101, a cavity 113 carved at the frontal portion of the body 101 housing a transparent shield 114, a sliding units 115 arranged inside the cavity 113, a motorized crank-rocker four-bar linkage 116 is integrated into the shield, a gel padding 117 coated over each plates, an LED (light emitting diode) light strip 118 is arranged along an outer rim of the body 101, a pair of directional speaker units 119 mounted on the body 101.

[0024] The device discloses herein includes a multi-segmented protective body 101 formed of a plurality of curved-shaped plates 102, arranged to fold and unfold into a wearable helmet-shaped configuration. The curved-shaped plates 102 are made of a lightweight yet durable composite material, designed to provide optimal protection while maintaining flexibility. This material combines high-impact resistant polymers with reinforced fibers, ensuring that each segment offers robust defense against external forces without compromising comfort during wear.

[0025] The plates 102 are connected via multi-hinges 103 and integrated sliding units 115 to adjust the size of the body 101 and allow compact storage when folded. The multi-hinges 103 are pivot joints that allow each plate to rotate relative to its neighbouring plate along multiple axes. This multi-directional movement enables the body 101 to smoothly fold and unfold, conforming to the desired helmet shape when worn and collapsing into a compact form when stored. Meanwhile, the integrated sliding units 115 are designed to allow lateral movement between adjacent plates 102. These units consist of guided tracks and rails built into the edges of the plates 102, permitting them to slide closer together or farther apart. This sliding arrangement enables the overall size of the helmet body 101 to be adjusted dynamically, accommodating different head sizes and shapes for a customizable fit. When folded, the sliding units 115 help reduce the helmet’s volume by aligning the plates 102 in a stacked arrangement, while the multi-hinges 103 ensure the folding occurs smoothly without causing stress or damage to the plates 102.

[0026] A pair of Velcro straps 104 are attached with the body 101 for securing the body 101 over the user’s head portion. Each strap consists of two complementary components a hook side and a loop side. When the helmet is positioned over the head, the straps are wrapped around the underside of the chin or the back of the head, and the hook side is pressed against the loop side, creating a strong, adjustable bond. This fastening allows for quick and easy adjustment to accommodate different head sizes and shapes, ensuring a snug and stable fit. Additionally, the Velcro straps 104 provide flexibility for rapid donning and removal of the helmet without the need for complex buckles or fasteners, enhancing both convenience and comfort for the user.

[0027] A plurality of pressure sensors is installed on the body 101 and straps for detecting pressure applied by the body 101 and straps on the head and chin portion of the user. The plurality of pressure sensors continuously monitors the amount of force exerted on the user’s head and chin. The pressure sensors consist of piezoresistive or capacitive elements that respond to mechanical pressure by changing their electrical resistance or capacitance, respectively. When the helmet is worn and the straps are tightened, the sensors detect the degree of compression by measuring these changes, converting the physical pressure into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the microcontroller, which interprets the data to ensure that the pressure applied is within a safe and comfortable range. By providing real-time feedback, the microcontroller alerts the user if the helmet is too tight potentially causing discomfort or circulation issues or too loose, which compromise protection.

[0028] The microcontroller based on the detected pressure actuates a pair of motorized rollers 105 provided on the body 101 and coiled with the straps. These motorized rollers 105 rotate along their axis, which in turn either tightens or loosens the straps automatically to achieve an optimal fit around the user’s head and chin. Each roller is connected to a small, precise electric motor capable of fine rotational control. When the microcontroller detects that the pressure on the head or chin is below the desired threshold, it signals the motors to rotate the rollers in a direction that winds the straps tighter, increasing the tension and improving the helmet’s stability. Conversely, if the pressure exceeds the safe limit, the microcontroller commands the rollers to rotate in the opposite direction, unwinding the straps slightly to reduce the force and enhance comfort.

[0029] Each of the curved plates 102 forming the protective body 101 is coated with a gel padding 117 designed to enhance both thermal comfort and impact absorption. The gel padding 117 is composed of a viscoelastic or silicone-based material that conforms to the contours of the user's head, distributing pressure evenly and absorbing shock during collisions. This cushioning layer reduces the risk of injury by minimizing the force transmitted to the skull, while also enhancing overall comfort during prolonged use. The gel padding 117 is embedded with a Peltier unit which actively regulates the internal temperature of the helmet in real time. The Peltier unit operates based on the thermoelectric effect, where an electric current is passed through a junction of two different conductive materials, creating a temperature differential one side becomes cool while the other becomes warm. The cool side is directed toward the user’s head, helping to dissipate excess heat and maintain a comfortable temperature inside the helmet, especially in hot environments.

[0030] A gel padding 117 coated over each plate 102, the gel padding 117 embedded with a Peltier unit configured to regulate the inner temperature of the body 101 in real time for thermal comfort and impact absorption during collisions.

[0031] A protective frame 106 mounted on the top side of the body 101. The protective frame 106 is constructed from a high-strength, lightweight material such as reinforced aluminum alloy or carbon fiber composite. These materials are selected for their superior mechanical properties, including excellent impact resistance, structural rigidity, and corrosion resistance. The frame 106 serves as an additional structural reinforcement for the helmet, distributing and absorbing impact forces that occur during use. The carbon fiber composites offer an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for protective applications where both safety and comfort are critical. The frame 106 is engineered with precise contours to align seamlessly with the multi-segmented plates, ensuring a uniform protective layer across the top portion of the head. Additionally, the frame 106 incorporate shock-absorbing elements or padding on its inner surface to further enhance comfort and reduce pressure points.

[0032] The frame 106 connected to the body 101 via spring linkage arrangements 107 to absorb vertical impacts and maintain alignment during lateral movements. The spring linkage arrangements 107 consist of a combination of coiled or leaf springs and articulated linkages that connect the frame 106 to various points on the body 101. When a vertical impact force such as a blow to the top of the helmet is applied, the springs compress to absorb and dissipate the energy, reducing the amount of force transmitted directly to the user’s head. This significantly enhances user safety by mitigating the risk of injury from sudden impacts. At the same time, the linkage components maintain a stable connection between the frame 106 and body 101, allowing limited lateral (side-to-side) movement. This flexibility ensures that the helmet adapt to small shifts or movements of the user's head while maintaining its protective positioning and structural integrity.

[0033] A set of protective panels 108 connected to a bottom and rear side of the body 101 via foldable hinges 109 and telescopic rails. The set of protective panels 108 are constructed from a high-strength, impact-resistant composite material such as polycarbonate reinforced with aramid fibers (e.g., Kevlar)—which offers a combination of durability, flexibility, and lightweight characteristics. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand high-impact forces while remaining light enough to ensure user comfort and mobility.

[0034] The foldable hinges 109 allow the panels 108 to pivot outward or inward around a fixed axis, facilitating compact folding when not in use and easy deployment when additional protection is needed. These hinges are designed to lock securely in place once extended, ensuring that the panels 108 remain stable during movement or impact. In conjunction with the hinges, the telescopic rails enable linear motion by allowing the panels 108 to slide forward or backward along guided tracks. These rails consist of nested segments that collapse into each other when retracted and extend smoothly when deployed, similar to a telescope. This dual arrangement allows the protective panels 108 to dynamically adjust their position to cover the neck and upper spine area, providing customized protection for the rider depending on their posture, environment, or preference.

[0035] A projection unit 110 installed on an inner surface of the body 101 and synchronized with an AI-based camera 111 mounted on an outer portion of the body 101 and a GPS module, the projection unit 110 projects navigation guidance, lane outlines, and hazard alerts based on real-time road analysis. The GPS module continuously tracks the rider’s real-time location and route using satellite signals. This module identifies the rider’s position on the map, determines the current route, and anticipates upcoming turns, intersections, and potential high-risk areas such as accident-prone zones or sharp curves. Simultaneously, the AI-based camera 111, scans the road ahead and detects lane markings, nearby vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signs, and potential hazards such as potholes, road debris, or sudden obstacles. The camera 111 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the road, and the captured images are stored within memory of the camera 111 in form of an optical data.

[0036] The camera 111 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The processor analyzes this data and cross-references it with GPS inputs and map data to understand the rider’s immediate environment and context.

[0037] Once the information is processed, it is sent to the projection unit 110. The projection unit 110 uses heads-up display (HUD) technique to visually project navigation cues (like arrows or turn-by-turn instructions), lane outlines, and hazard alerts directly onto the rider’s field of view without obstructing vision. For example, if the micrcontroller detects that the rider is veering out of the lane or approaching a road hazard, a highlighted alert or lane guidance overlay appears on the inner visor, allowing the rider to react promptly.

[0038] A gyroscopic sensor and motion sensor pair integrated with the body 101 for detecting user orientation, tilt, and speed, sensor data is processed by a microcontroller to evaluate real-time riding stability. The gyroscopic sensor measures the rate of rotational movement around the helmet’s three axes (pitch, roll, and yaw), detecting angular velocity and changes in direction. This accurately track the helmet’s orientation and any tilting or turning motions. The motion sensor, typically an accelerometer, measures linear acceleration forces acting on the helmet in three-dimensional space, capturing data on movement speed, direction, and sudden changes such as acceleration or deceleration. Together, these sensors provide a complete picture of the rider’s dynamic movements. The sensor data is continuously fed to the microcontroller, which processes and fuses the information using sensor fusion protocols. This processing refines raw data to reduce noise and produce precise estimates of the rider’s current posture and motion. By analyzing this data in real time, the microcontroller evaluates riding stability, detecting any abnormal tilts, rapid changes in speed, or loss of balance.

[0039] A mini-hybrid airbag 112 mounted on a bottom neck portion of the body 101. The airbag 112 is constructed from high-strength, heat-resistant, and abrasion-resistant synthetic materials such as nylon 6,6 or polyester, coated with silicone or polyurethane to ensure airtightness and durability under rapid inflation. When the microcontroller detects a loss of balance, a critical tilt angle, or an abnormal acceleration pattern indicating a potential fall or crash, it instantly triggers the airbag 112 deployment means. Upon activation, the pyrotechnic initiator punctures the gas canister, rapidly releasing pressurized gas into the airbag 112 chamber. The airbag 112 inflates around the back and sides of the neck, forming a protective collar that cushions the cervical spine and stabilizes the head, significantly reducing the risk of whiplash, spinal compression, or neck fractures. Once deployed, the airbag 112 absorbs the kinetic energy from the impact and begins to deflate slowly through pressure-regulating valves, ensuring controlled energy dissipation and preventing rebound forces.

[0040] An LED (light emitting diode) light strip 118 is arranged along an outer rim of said body 101, integrated with an ambient light sensor integrated with the body 101 for automatic brightness control. The LEDs emit light when an electric current passes through them, producing bright, energy-efficient illumination with low power consumption and long operational life. These light strips 118 are strategically placed around the helmet’s rim to provide 360-degree visibility, making the rider more noticeable to other road users, especially in low-light or nighttime environments. To optimize the LED brightness and conserve battery life, the ambient light sensor continuously monitors the surrounding light levels. The ambient sensor detects the intensity of ambient light by measuring the amount of natural or artificial light present around the helmet. The sensor’s electrical output signal is processed by the microcontroller, which automatically adjusts the brightness of the LED strip accordingly. For instance, during daylight or brightly lit conditions, the LEDs dim to a lower intensity to avoid glare or unnecessary power consumption. Conversely, in dim or dark environments, the sensor triggers the LEDs to brighten, ensuring maximum visibility and safety for the rider.

[0041] A pair of directional speaker units 119 mounted on both sides of the body 101 for delivering audio alerts based on detection of approaching vehicles from respective directions, wherein the speakers are further configured to provide navigation instructions or media output during normal riding. The speaker used herein is capable of producing clear and natural sound and is capable of adjusting its volume based on ambient noise levels.

[0042] The speaker consists of audio information, which is in the form of recorded voice, synthesized voice, or other sounds, generated or stored as digital data. The digital audio data is converted into analog electrical signals. Further the analog signal is amplified by an amplifier and the amplified electrical audio signal is then sent to a diaphragm, which is typically made of a lightweight and rigid material like paper, plastic, or metal, and is designed to vibrate or move back and forth when electrical signals are fed to it. This movement creates pressure variations in the surrounding air, generating sound waves in order to generate the audio alerts based on detection of approaching vehicles.

[0043] A sliding panel assembly integrated with a frontal portion of the body 101 to protect the user’s face during use. The sliding panel assembly includes a cavity 113 carved at the frontal portion of the body 101, housing a transparent shield 114. The transparent shield 114 housed within the cavity 113 is made from high-quality, optically clear materials like polycarbonate or acrylic. The polycarbonate is preferred for its excellent impact resistance, lightweight properties, and scratch-resistant coatings, making it ideal for protective face shields.

[0044] A sliding unit arranged inside the cavity 113, the sliding unit guiding the shield for smooth movement. The sliding unit arranged inside the cavity 113 functions as the guiding mechanism that enables the transparent shield 114 to move smoothly and securely within the frontal portion of the protective body 101. This unit consists of a set of precisely engineered rails and grooves or tracks molded or attached along the inner walls of the cavity 113, matched by corresponding runners or sliders fixed to the edges of the shield. These components work together to create a low-friction interface, allowing the shield to slide forward and backward with minimal resistance while maintaining alignment and stability. The materials used for the sliding unit are often wear-resistant polymers such as nylon or PTFE (Teflon), which provide smooth gliding action and reduce the risk of jamming or sticking due to dust, debris, or repeated use. Additionally, the sliding unit incorporate small ball bearings or roller elements to further enhance the smoothness of movement and durability. This guided sliding arrangement ensures that the shield is deployed or retracted effortlessly by the user.

[0045] A motorized crank-rocker four- bar linkage 116 is integrated into the shield, the linkage configured to reduce jerks and uneven motion during sliding movement and maintain synchronized movement with the segmented structure. The four- bar linkage 116 consists of four rigid bars connected by pivot joints forming a closed loop: the crank, the coupler, the rocker, and the fixed frame 106 (part of the helmet body 101). The crank, driven by a small electric motor, rotates continuously or incrementally about its fixed pivot point, converting rotary motion into oscillatory motion. This rotational input is transferred through the coupler to the rocker, which swings back and forth in a controlled manner. The design of the linkage ensures that the shield moves along a predefined path with precise timing, matching the segmented structure of the helmet to maintain alignment and avoid mechanical interference. By controlling the angular velocities and motion profile through the crank’s motor speed and linkage geometry, the linkage effectively smooths out any sudden starts or stops, significantly reducing jerky or uneven sliding movements that could discomfort the user or cause wear on the components.

[0046] An upper side of the transparent shield 114 is coated with a visibility enhancement coating configured to improve optical clarity under varying environmental conditions. The coating combines multiple functional layers, including anti-reflective (AR), anti-fog, and hydrophobic properties. The anti-reflective layer reduces glare caused by direct sunlight or artificial lights, minimizing eye strain and improving the rider’s ability to clearly see road details. The anti-fog component prevents condensation buildup on the shield’s surface, which is especially crucial in humid or rapidly changing temperature environments, ensuring that vision remains unobstructed at all times. Additionally, the hydrophobic layer repels water droplets during rain or mist, causing them to bead and roll off quickly instead of spreading across the surface and blurring visibility.

[0047] A cleaning module integrated on a side section of the sliding panel assembly to clean the sliding panel assembly in real-time. The cleaning module comprises of an optical sensor integrated with the transparent shield 114 to detect presence of dirt or dust over the shield. The optical sensor operates by emitting a controlled beam of light often infrared or visible light onto the surface of the shield and then measuring the amount and characteristics of the light reflected back. When the shield is clean, the reflected light follows a predictable pattern, with minimal scattering or absorption. However, when dirt, dust, or smudges accumulate on the shield’s surface, they alter the way light reflects, causing increased scattering, attenuation, or diffusion of the reflected signal. The optical sensor detects these changes by analyzing variations in intensity, angle, or spectral properties of the reflected light. This data is processed by the microcontroller, which determines whether the shield’s surface is sufficiently dirty.

[0048] Upon detection of excessive dust and dirt, the microcontroller actuates a multi-hinged extendable flap provided with a side portion of the transparent shield 114 to automatically sweep the surface of the shield. The flap is constructed from a lightweight, durable material with a soft, flexible edge often made from silicone or rubber to effectively sweep away dust, debris, and moisture without scratching or damaging the shield. The multi-hinged design allows the flap to extend outward smoothly and conform to the curvature of the shield, ensuring thorough contact over a larger surface area during the cleaning motion.

[0049] The movement of the flap is controlled by a motorized joint, which consists of a small electric motor coupled with a geared transmission arrangement connected to the hinges. The motorized joint provides precise control over the flap’s extension and retraction by converting rotational motion from the motor into the desired angular motion of the flap via the linkage of the hinges. This joint allows for smooth, consistent sweeping motions, ensuring effective removal of contaminants across the shield’s surface. The motor’s speed and torque are regulated by the microcontroller to optimize cleaning efficiency while minimizing noise and power consumption. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, the motorized joint retracts the flap back to its resting position flush with the shield, maintaining the helmet’s streamlined profile.

[0050] A storage located at a bottom portion of the transparent shield 114 to collect and store dirt and debris swept from the flap. The storage compartment is typically constructed from a lightweight, durable, and easy-to-clean material such as high-impact ABS plastic or polycarbonate. These materials are chosen for their excellent resistance to wear, impact, and chemical exposure, ensuring that the storage unit withstand repeated contact with dust, moisture, and cleaning agents without degrading. Additionally, the interior surface of the storage compartment is treated with a non-stick or hydrophobic coating to prevent dirt accumulation and facilitate easy disposal of collected debris.

[0051] Lastly, a battery is installed within the device which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is preferably a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the device a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the device is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the device i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the device from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0052] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the multi-segmented protective body 101 formed of curved-shaped plates 102-fold and unfold into the wearable helmet-shaped configuration. The plates 102 are connected via multi-hinges 103 and integrated sliding units 115 that enable size adjustment and compact storage. The Velcro straps 104 secure the helmet over the head, providing quick, adjustable fastening. The pressure sensors detect applied force on straps and relay signals to actuate motorized rollers 105 that tighten or loosen straps to ensure optimal fit. Each plate is coated with gel padding 117 embedded with the Peltier unit to regulate inner temperature and absorb impacts. The protective frame 106 connected to body 101 via spring linkage arrangements 107 to absorb vertical impacts and maintain alignment during lateral movements. The protective panels 108 connected via foldable hinges 109 and telescopic rails provide adjustable neck protection. The projection unit 110 synchronized with AI-based camera 111 and GPS module projects navigation guidance, lane outlines, and hazard alerts onto rider’s field of view. The gyroscopic and motion sensors detect orientation, tilt, and speed to evaluate riding stability. The mini-hybrid airbag 112 mounted at neck inflates upon detecting instability to protect cervical spine. The LED light strip 118 with ambient light sensor adjusts brightness automatically. The sliding panel assembly with transparent polycarbonate shield moves smoothly within cavity 113 via sliding unit and motorized crank-rocker four- bar linkage 116. The visibility enhancement coating improves optical clarity. The cleaning module uses optical sensor to detect dirt and actuates multi-hinged extendable flap via motorized joint to sweep shield, while storage compartment collects debris for easy disposal.
