Abstract
There is disclosed a non-rebounding article having a thin walled container with a region of uniform thickness located adjacent the interior surface thereof adapted to receive a flexible material distributed therein, the container having an interior volume centrally located therein into which the flexible material is free to move upon impact of the container with an exterior object and a flexible material substantially located within the region of uniform thickness, the flexible material contacting the interior surface of the container and substantially being free to move away from an initial position adjacent the interior surface upon impact of the container with an exterior object whereby forces tending to cause the container to rebound from the impact with the exterior object are absorbed, the flexible material having a structural memory to substantially return it to the initial position adjacent the interior surface after the impact.
