Abstract
A novel headgear is formed of a resilient elastomeric foam core having adhered thereover an exterior fabric shell, forming a composite material substantially in the shape of a football helmet. The interior foam may be cured in place within said fabric whereby said foam is self adhered to the interior of said fabric, or, alternatively, the fabric may be adhered to the exterior of said foam by means of an adhesive. The invention also provides process for forming headgear which includes providing a two-part mold including a first part containing a mold cavity, placing a fabric layer in the cavity, inserting the second mold part in said cavity, which second part has an opening for injection into the mold of a plastic foam forming material. The foam-former is injected through the opening and cured in situ in contact with the fabric thereby forming a composite.
