LIMB SHIELD

摘要

A limb shield is disclosed for shielding a limb of a wearer against impacts. The shield comprises a shell having a first shell portion and a second shell portion, the first portion comprising a substantially rigid portion, the second portion being reconfigurable between a retracted configuration in which the shield is configured to conform substantially with the contours of the limb to hold the shield in place upon the limb, and an extended configuration in which the shield is configured to receive the limb. The second portion is further resiliently biased to the retracted configuration and is arranged to extend around at least a portion of a periphery of the first portion.
