Benefits of technology

This patent relates to a protective body armor assembly for individuals. The assembly includes shoulder pad assemblies, torso assemblies, lower arm protection assemblies, and elbow protection assemblies. The shoulder pad assemblies have raised portions to protect the neck area, and the torso assembly has an adjustable plate pocket for receiving a plate. The lower arm protection assembly has an elbow protector and inner and outer plates for adjustable connection. The elbow protector has a concave cavity for receiving an elbow, and the assembly also includes straps and an elbow liner. The technical effects of this patent include improved protection for the arm and elbow of individuals, as well as easier lifting of downed individuals.

Problems solved by technology

At times, such personnel may be called upon to face adverse situations that could be unpredictable with potential of physical altercations.
Currently available protective gear tends to be cumbersome for an individual to put on.
Moreover, a particular set of protective gear is unable to conform to a wide range of body sizes, often requiring stocking of many different sizes of components.

Abstract

A thigh protector may include an upper portion comprising two straps for attaching the at least one thigh protector to a belt, the two straps defining a space therebetween for permitting attaching of a hip pad or a holster to the belt through the defined space and a lower portion comprising a plurality of thigh plates attached to a base pad, the plurality of thigh plates defining a hinge area therebetween and configured to permit the at least one thigh protector to be opened and placed about a thigh of a wearer. The thigh protector may further include at least one rib extending laterally from a face of one of the thigh plates for receiving and supporting a shield. The rib may include at least one protrusion extending vertically from a top of the at least one rib for assisting in keeping a shield in place on the at least one rib.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Disclosure[0001]The present disclosure relates to a system and apparatus comprising various components for providing body protection for an individual and, more particularly, to a system, method and apparatus for providing body protection such as, e.g., riot gear for an individual that is adjustable for resizing to fit different sized individuals, among other features.Related Art[0002]Protective gear such as used for law enforcement officers or military personnel is important for individual personal protection. At times, such personnel may be called upon to face adverse situations that could be unpredictable with potential of physical altercations.[0003]Currently available protective gear tends to be cumbersome for an individual to put on. Moreover, a particular set of protective gear is unable to conform to a wide range of body sizes, often requiring stocking of many different sizes of components.[0004]A protective gear system or assembly that can be used acr...
