Abstract

Abstract A helmet of the present invention including a shell formed from a thermoplastic resin and a shock absorbing liner disposed on the inside of the shell. The liner has following varieties of its structure. That is, a single layered structure of acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer resin foam (thereinafter referred to AS foam), a double layered structure in which both less foaming layer and highly foaming layer are made of AS foam, a double layered structure in which a less foaming layer is made of AS foam and a highly foaming layer is made of a foam of other material, or a double layered structure in which a less foaming layer is made of a foam of material other than AS foam and a highly foaming layer is made of AS foam.
