Definitions

  • the impact shell is formed from at least one material selected from the following: a) a polymer-based material; or b) a resin and fiber material.
  • the puncture prevention element is directly coupled with the impact attenuating structure anterior surface.
  • the medial shell element may be coupled with the impact attenuating structure 201 at/near the medial hinge edge 120, in an exemplary aspect. While the discussion related to offset coupling is directed to the medial portion, it is contemplated that the lateral portions may equally apply. Further, it is contemplated that both the medial and lateral portions may utilize an offset coupling or only one may utilize an offset coupling.
  • FIG. 5A depicts a cross sectional view of an articulated protective apparatus 500 along the cutline 5-5 of FIG. 2 .
  • the protective apparatus 500 is comprised of a shell having a medial shell element 502 and a lateral shell element 504, an impact attenuation structure 506, and a puncture prevention element 512.
  • the puncture prevention element 512 is positioned at least along a hinge joint defined by a medial hinge edge 508 and a lateral hinge edge 510 of the shell. As illustrated, the puncture prevention element 512 is positioned between an anterior surface 516 of the shell and a posterior surface 514 of the impact attenuation structure 506.
  • the puncture prevention element 512B includes a smaller thickness than the shell elements 502 and 504, such that a valley or indented space is formed between the shell elements 502 and 504.
  • the puncture prevention element 512B is substantially covered on the anterior surface by the overlay 518. The relative pliability of the overly 518 and the reduced thickness of the puncture prevention element 512B joining the medial shell element 502 and the lateral shell element 504 permit the shell to flex along the puncture prevention element 512B, even if the thickness of the shell elements does not contribute to easy flexing or bending.
  • FIG. 6 also depicts a hinge channel 607.
  • the hinge channel 607 is substantially aligned with the puncture prevention element 612, which is also aligned with a hinge joint between the medial hinge edge 608 and the lateral hinge edge 610, in this exemplary aspect.
  • FIG. 8 depicts a portion of the impact attenuation structure 606 removed proximate the medial shell element 602 to accommodate the flange 618.
  • the impact attenuation structure 606 may not incorporate a recessed portion that accommodates the flange 618. Instead, it is contemplated that the flange 618 is merely inserted between an impact attenuation structure 606 anterior surface and the posterior surface of the medial shell element 602, in an exemplary aspect.
  • FIG. 7 depicts a shell overlap puncture prevention arrangement for an articulated protection apparatus 700.
  • the articulated protection apparatus 700 is comprised of a shell having a medial shell element 704 and a lateral shell element 702.
  • the medial shell element 704 overlaps the lateral shell element 702 at an articulation joint that will be discussed in greater detail at FIG. 9 hereinafter.
  • the overlapping of the lateral shell element 702 by the medial shell element 704 allows the shell elements to be physically separate from one another and therefore able to articulate in the posterior direction while still preventing impalement through the articulation joint. Consequently, an impact attenuating structure 706 may be protected from impalement by this overlapping configuration.
  • the focus region 9 of FIG. 6 identifies region of focus depicted in FIG. 9 hereinafter.
  • one or more channels may be recessed a different amount from a posterior surface than other channel.
  • the medial channel 304 which may be positioned proximate the tibia bone of a wearer when in an as-worn position, may have a lesser amount of recess from the impact attenuating structure 1000 posterior surface than the hinge channel 302 and/or the lateral channel 306.
  • the variations in depth for the channels may be utilized to provide specific functions, such as desired impact attenuation, ventilation, weight, balance, feel, fit, and the like.
