Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a protective sports-pad that is ventilated and comfortable to use. The pad has a recess on its inner surface with protrusions that allow air to flow through and escape heat and moisture. This design prevents the pad from becoming a breeding ground for germs and irritating the person's skin, making it comfortable to wear."

Problems solved by technology

The conventional thigh pad (50) does not have sufficient ventilation to allow heat to escape quickly so excessive heat accumulates inside the recess (53) makes a person wearing the conventional thigh pad (50) feel uncomfortable.
Furthermore, moisture and sweat under the conventional thigh pad (50) and create a breeding ground for germs, which results irritation of the person's skin.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]With reference to FIGS. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, a protective sports-pad (10, 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D) in accordance with the present invention is curved, can be made to protect a person's thigh, knee or hip and comprises an outer surface, an inner surface, a recess (11, 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D), multiple protrusions (12, 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D), multiple airways (13, 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D), an optional hard segment (14, 14A), multiple optional soft segments (15, 15A) and multiple optional through holes (16A, 16B, 16C, 16D).

[0021]With further reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the recess (11, 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D) is formed in the inner surface of the protective sports-pad (10, 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D).

[0022]The protrusions (12, 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D) and are formed on and protrude from the inner surface in the recess (11, 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D) and may be hexagonal or triangular.

[0023]The airways (13, 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D) are formed between adjacent protrusions (12, 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D), disperse heat from the recess ...

Abstract

A protective sports-pad has an outer surface, an inner surface, a recess, multiple protrusions and multiple airways. The recess is formed in the inner surface of the protective sports-pad. The protrusions are formed on and protrude from the inner surface in the recess. The airways are formed between adjacent protrusions. The airways between the protrusions allow heat to escape easily and moisture and sweat in the airways to evaporate. Consequently, the protective sports-pad does not form a breeding ground for germs, does not irritate a person's skin and is comfortable to wear.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a protective sports-pad, and more particularly to a protective sports-pad that is vented and comfortable to use.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Conventional protective sports-pads for contact sports keep a player from being injured and can be a hip pad, a thigh pad or a kneepad.[0005]With reference to FIG. 9, a conventional thigh pad (50) is a hard solid material, is curved and has an outer surface (51), an inner surface (52) and a recess (53). The hard solid material absorbs and spreads strikes to the outer surface (51) and provides a localized physical heat treatment. The recess (53) is formed in the inner surface (52) and a player's thigh.[0006]However, the conventional thigh pad (50) has a number of shortcomings. The conventional thigh pad (50) does not have sufficient ventilation to allow heat to escape quickly so excessive heat accumulates inside the recess (53) makes a pe...
