Abstract
An ear pad for fastening within the ear protective guard of a helmet is formed of a thick, resilient, rubber-like sheet material that is molded with a central ear receiving pocket surrounded by bulged, cushion-forming strips which engage the wearer's head around the ear. The strips bulge away from, that is, they open towards, the helmet guard and the edges of the strips engage the helmet guard surface to thereby form resilient, compression chambers that absorb and redistribute impact shocks. A portion of the sheet surface at the pocket and adjacent the guard wall is depressed away from the guard wall to form a shallow, relatively wide, hollow chamber between the pocket and the guard wall to provide a compression chamber overlying the ear.
