IMPACT AND/OR VIBRATION ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND PROTECTIVE ARTICLES MAKING USES THEREOF

An impact and/or vibration absorbent material and protective articles making use of said material . An impact and/or vibration absorbent material of the present invention has at least two material layers (10, 15) . The individual layers of the impact and/or vibration absorbent material may be of the same material, or of different materials. Preferably, the material of one layer is harder than the material of the second layer .Each material layer contains a number of holes . The holes in one layer . are located and arranged to be offset from the holes in an adjacent layer. The combination of inherent material properties and the inclusion and arrangement of holes renders such a material highly impact and/or vibration absorbent . Through use of a protective article of the present invention, the effects of impact and/or vibration forces on a user of the protective article can be minimized.

ENERGY ABSORBING SYSTEMS

Disclosed herein are flexible energy absorbing systems (90) and methods of manufacturing flexible energy absorbing systems. The systems include one or more cells (900) of a strain rate sensitive material and having a re-entrant geometry. Some of the systems are configurable in a planar form and in an aspherical form, wherein when configured in the aspherical form, the cells comprise a re-entrant geometry. Some of the systems have an anisotropic geometry to provide a different response to impacts from different directions.

DORSAL PROTECTION FOR GLOVES

An impact damper for a glove comprises a solid convex element formed from a resilient material. The convex element has a zenith cavity formed at its zenith. Upon an impact on the convex element, the zenith cavity enables resilient outward deformation of the convex element, and the resilient outward deformation dissipates energy from the impact. The impact damper may further comprise an outwardly deformable wall formed from a resilient material, with the wall circumferentially surrounding and spaced from the convex element. Upon an impact on the convex element, the convex element engages the wall as the convex element deforms, and resilient outward deformation of the wall under urging from the deforming convex element further dissipates the energy from the impact.

BLOCKER FOR A GOALIE

The blocker may comprise: a glove configured to receive the goalie's hand and comprising finger portions configured to receive fingers of the goalie's hand; a blocking member disposed over the glove and configured to block a puck or ball; a finger-protecting member disposed between and movable relative to the blocking member and respective ones of the finger portions and configured to protect respective ones of the goalie's fingers that are received in the respective ones of the finger portions; and a connector connecting the finger-protecting member to a given one of the finger portions.

SPORTS GLOVE HAVING IMPROVED WRIST STRAP AND DORSAL SPLINT SYSTEM

A protective sports glove worn by athletes during training or for use in a combative event to protect against injury and increase performance (including but not limited to total force generation, grip strength, striking force and speed, muscular endurance, time to contraction, etc.). These gloves are engineered with a dorsal splint system and a cooperating adjustable dual strapping wrist tie system to secure the gloves to the contour of the hands, to ensure they remain tight and fixed, and to support the wrist from excessive bending. The dual strapping system with the dorsal splint system provides increased wrist/hand rigidity mirroring a tightness of hand wrap bandages for maximal bone and tendon support of the hands and wrists, and this novel tie system increases the transfer of force generation to the point of impact.

KWE Protector (Knuckle, Wrist and Elbow)

Increased popularity of youth softball and baseball leagues have resulted in nearly 2 million injuries annually. Most sports related injuries occur during practice due to a lack of safety precautions, but are preventable. Protective equipment is available for baseball/softball sports, but there is a lack of protection for the knuckles, wrist, and elbow. These areas are vulnerable to a direct impact of the ball and can result in serious injury. The KWE Protector may prevent and decrease injury to the key areas of the hand and arm (knuckle, wrist, and elbow) for continual use and productivity in the baseball/softball sport. The KWE Protector will have protective padding areas covering the key areas that will allow the player to easily move the arm. The KWE Protector will be available for both male and females of youth and adolescents to provide adequate protection and continued enjoyment of the sport for everyone involved. 1.
