Description

Protective headband Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a protective headgear. Background Athletes use protective headgear in some sports, such as football, to enhance the safety of the athlete and reduce the risk of head injury. These headbands are particularly well suited to provide additional protection to the athlete's head during physical contact and impact inherent in exercise. Thus, the protective headgear may be used to absorb and distribute impact forces. In general, the headband may include a cushion or other material to absorb and distribute impact forces. A common disadvantage of the headgear in the art is that they do not provide adequate adjustability around the user's head and/or adequate protection, particularly during an oblique collision. Disclosure of Invention It is therefore an object of the present disclosure to provide a protective headgear that alleviates at least some of the mentioned disadvantages to provide a headgear that is more efficient than previous solutions in terms of adjustability and/or protection, in particular protection against oblique impact forces. The present disclosure relates to a protective headgear including a front portion having at least one first end and a rear portion having at least one second end. Furthermore, at least one connecting element is included. Each of the first and second ends includes one of a first mating interface and a second mating interface, wherein the protective headgear includes at least one first mating interface and at least one second mating interface. Each of the first mating interfaces is secured to a corresponding second mating interface at least in part by one of the at least one connecting element, forming at least a first mating pair. The front and rear portions may be collectively arranged to encircle/surround the head of a user intended to wear the headband. The headband may be one-piece such that the front and rear portions form a unitary structure. The front portion may be sized to fit the front head of the user and the rear portion may be sized to fit the rear head of the user such that at least one end portion is arranged to be positioned at one side of the head of the user. In some aspects, the front portion includes an opposing first end, wherein the rear portion includes an opposing second end. The terms "first and second ends" may be interchangeable with "first and second ends". Furthermore, the at least one connection element is a pair of connection elements, wherein the at least one first mating interface and the at least one second mating interface are two first mating interfaces and two second mating interfaces. Thus, each first mating interface is secured to a respective second mating interface at least in part by a connecting element of the pair of connecting elements, thereby forming first and second mating pairs. Thus, the protective headgear may be a two-piece headgear. This has the advantage that it provides increased flexibility to the headband. Thus, each mating pair may be defined by a connection between one first mating interface and one second mating interface. Each mating pair may include an interlocking configuration defined by a relationship between the corresponding first mating interface and second mating interface. This has the advantage that it provides additional rigidity to the headband because the mating pair has an interlocking relationship while allowing the connecting element to secure the first mating interface and the second mating interface together. In addition, the headband can reduce a rotational impact applied to the head of a user of the headband. In particular, the headband can reduce tilting impact on the user's head. The interlocking configuration may include one of the mating interfaces overlapping the other mating interface and/or one of the mating interfaces being received in a cavity of the other mating interface. Thus, each mating interface/end may have an inner (skin-facing) and an opposite outer (environment-facing) surface. The skin-facing surface may refer to a normal axis of the surface pointing toward the user's head during wear of the headband, and the environment-facing surface may refer to a normal axis of the surface pointing away from the user's head during wear of the headband. Thus, for each mating pair, an inner surface of one of the mating interfaces may be disposed adjacent an outer surface of the other of the interfaces, and/or for each mating pair, one of the mating interfaces may be received in a cavity of the other mating interface. The cavity may be in the form of a pocket or as a depression in its skin-facing or environment-facing surface. The cavity may include a barrier/constraint sized to constrain/restrict sliding/drifting movement of each first mating interface relative to the second mating interface. Thus, the constraint may supplement the connection element in securing each first mating interface to the corresponding second mating
