Sports helmet with protective fincap

Claim 1

A Sports Helmet With Protective Fincap, comprising: a. a sports helmet component; b. a fincap component; c. said fincap component being anteroposteriorly affixed to an exterior topside of said sports helmet component and centered upon an anteroposterior centerline of said sports helmet component; d. said fincap component having anteroposterior length equal to a centerline distance extending from a bottom edge of a frontal brim of said sports helmet component to a backside occipital edge of a backside of said sports helmet component; e. said fincap component having a frontside minimum side to side breadth at a locus of said bottom edge of said frontal brim and a backside minimum side to side breadth at a locus of said backside occipital edge of said backside; f. said frontside minimum side to side breadth being equal in breadth to said backside minimum of side to side breadth; g. said frontside minimum side to side breadth increasing to a maximum side to side breadth from said locus of said bottom edge of said frontal brim to a locus upon said exterior topside equivalent to a locus of a horizontally inclined line tangent to an uppermost portion of said exterior topside and perpendicular to and intersecting both a vertically inclined central axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component and a horizontally inclined anteroposterior central axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component; h. said backside minimum side to side breadth increasing to a maximum side to side breadth from said locus of said bottom occipital edge of said backside to said locus upon said exterior topside equivalent to said locus of said horizontally inclined line tangent to said uppermost portion of said exterior topside and perpendicular to and intersecting said vertically inclined central axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component and said horizontally inclined anterorposterior central axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component; i. said fincap component being characterized by the presence of an anteroposteriorly centrally positioned fin element, an exterior surface of which said fin element is coextensive with an exterior surface of said fincap component; j. said fin element having anteroposterior length equal to said anteroposterior length of said fincap component; k. said fincap component having maximum height everywhere equal to a height of said fin element; l. said height of said fin element having a frontside minimum height at said locus of said bottom edge of said frontal brim and a backside minimum height at said locus of said backside occipital edge of said backside; m. said frontside minimum height being equal in height to said backside minimum height; n. said frontside minimum height increasing to a maximum height from said locus of said bottom edge of said frontal brim to said locus upon said exterior topside equivalent to said locus of said horizontally inclined line tangent to said uppermost portion of said exterior topside and perpendicular to and intersecting both said vertically inclined axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component and said horizontally inclined anteroposterior central axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component; o. said backside minimum height increasing to said maximum height from said locus of said backside occipital edge to said locus upon said exterior topside equivalent to said locus of said horizontally inclined line tangent to said uppermost portion of the exterior topside and perpendicular to and intersecting both said vertically inclined axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component and said horizontally inclined anteroposterior central axis of symmetry of said sports helmet component; p. said fin element having a continuous top edge extending anteroposteriorly from said locus of said bottom edge of said frontal brim to said locus of said backside occipital edge of said backside, and; q. said fincap component and said fin element being made of the same sturdy flexible material.
