Modular Impact Protection System For Athletic Wear

摘要

A modular protective structure may be formed from an impact absorbing material formed into a repeating pattern of one or more geometrical shapes that may be assembled to a size, shape, and/or configuration desired to protect an athlete from impact. The thickness of the structure may vary in a repetitive fashion along at least a first axis of the structure, and may further vary in a repetitive fashion along a second axis of the structure.

主权项

1. A modular impact absorption system, the modular impact absorption system comprising:
a first component formed from an impact absorbing material, the first component having a first axis extending along the first component in a first direction, the first component comprising a plurality of units varying in thickness formed in a first repeating pattern along the first axis; and a second component formed from the impact absorbing material, the second component having a first axis extending along the second component in a first direction, wherein the first axis of the second component is parallel to the first axis of the first component, the second component comprising a plurality of units varying in thickness formed in the first repeating pattern along the first axis of the second component.
