6D Helmets’ Omni-Directional Suspension technology receives a U.S. patent.
6D Helmets, LLC has been issued a patent for its unique helmet technology by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
The company has been awarded utility patent No. 8,955,169 for its proprietary Helmet Omnidirectional Energy Management Systems, commercially referred to as Omni-Directional Suspension, or ODS. According to a press release issued by 6D, the issuance of this utility patent marks a key milestone in the early stage of the company’s life.
“I began this project in my garage in early 2011, and shortly thereafter brought in Robert to refine the concept,” Weber said. “In the 2 years since we introduced our first helmet we have seen countless instances where our 6D Helmets, equipped with the ODS technology, have provided superior safety performance to riders and cyclists. To finally receive this utility patent only further validates the tireless efforts of the entire 6D Helmets organization in our pursuit of the company’s mission, to improve safety for helmeted athletes throughout the world.”

6D is dedicated to the pursuit of better brain protection. Its patented Omni-Directional Suspension is designed to provide protection capabilities unmatched by any other helmet or helmet technology, according to the company. Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS) is a multi-layered displaceable liner system that reduces the transfer of angular acceleration energy and low-threshold energy to the brain during crash impacts without compromising high-energy performance.
