A finger glove for use in gripping movements with one or more fingers of a human hand enclosed in the glove. The glove includes glove fingers and a palm. At least one glove finger is adapted to include on each side an artificial tendon that extends along an inside of the glove. A yoke is fitted in a tip of the at least one glove finger and intended to surround a tip of an enclosed finger. At each side of the glove finger artificial tendons are connected to the yoke. A system including the finger glove having a force detecting sensor is situated on the inside of the at least one glove finger and is adapted to detect a force between a finger enclosed in the glove finger and a contact surface applied to the finger. The artificial tendons for a glove finger are connected to at least one actuator and a control unit adapted to cause the at least one actuator to exert a pulling force on the artificial tendons of the glove finger based on a force detected in the force detecting sensor, whereby the finger enclosed in the glove finger is caused to bend.

A protective helmet ( ) has an outer shell ( ) and an inner shell ( ), the outer shell being displaceable relative to the inner shell by means of at last one sliding layer ( ) arranged between the the outer shell and the inner shell. In the edge region of the helmet, the outer shell and the inner shell are interconnected by means of members ( ), for absorbing energy on displacement of the outer shell on the inner shell. In this way, impact energy from an oblique impact against the helmet can be absorbed during displacement between the outer shell and the inner shell.

Protective helmet

Method and device for protecting a person ( ) traveling in a vehicle ( ) by applying a protective arrangement the inside of the roof ( ) of the vehicle ( ). The inside of the roof ( ) is equipped with an inner roof structure ( ) in a place where the head ( ) of the person ( ) traveling in the vehicle is expected to make an impact in the event of an accident. The inner roof structure ( ) is designed to guide the head ( ) so that a flexion of the neck ( ) of the person ( ) traveling in the vehicle is initiated essentially simultaneously with the impact between the head ( ) and the inside of the roof ( ) during the accident. The device gives an improved protection of a person traveling in a vehicle ( ), especially against head and neck injuries that occur when a person's head hits the inside of the roof ( ) of the vehicle ( ).
