Furthermore, well-known features may be omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the embodiment being described.
- Referring now to the drawings, in which like reference numerals represent like parts throughout the several views,
FIG. 2 illustrates anattachment structure 100 in accordance with an embodiment. Theattachment element 100 includes apad element 105 havingopposing ends straps opposing ends upper strap 120 extends from anupper portion 125 of thepad element 105 and a bottom (not illustrated).Straps pad element 105 in any known manner. As non-limiting examples,such straps pad element 105, or they may extend throughslots 130 in thepad element 105 as shown inFIG. 2 .Slots 130 may allow for loosening or tightening of the straps, as would be known in the art. - Each
strap front side 135 and aback side 140. In the embodiment illustrated, anattachment element 145 is located along theback side 140 of eachopposing strap distal end 150 thereof. In a non-limiting example,attachment elements 145 may be hook or loop fasteners of a hook-and-loop fastening system, or male or female ends of a snap, or the like. However, in other embodiments, different attachment elements can be used, such as buckles or clips or the like. Suchalternative attachment elements 145 are preferably positioned at thedistal end 150 of suchopposing straps back side 140 thereof. - Similarly, as illustrated, along the
front side 135 of theupper strap 120 is another attachment element 155 (not visible inFIG. 1 , but illustrated inFIG. 4 discussed below), toward adistal end 160 thereof. In a non-limiting example,attachment element 155 may be hook or loop fasteners of a hook-and-loop fastening system, or male or female ends of a snap, or buckles or clips, or the like—whichever is the compliment ofattachment elements 145, so thatattachment elements 145 can engage withattachment element 155. As noted above,such attachment element 155 may be positioned near thedistal end 160 of theupper strap 120, or may be at thedistal end 160 such that it is not positioned on thefront side 135 thereof. -
FIGS. 3-5 show the general positioning of theattachment structure 100 with respect to a prior art chest protector 1.FIG. 3 is a front view of the chest protector 1 and theattachment 100, andFIGS. 4 and 5 are rear views of the same. As can be seen, theupper strap 120 extends up and over theneck portion 15 of the chest protector 1. As illustrated, thefront side 135 of theupper strap 120, on which theattachment element 155 is positioned, then faces rearward (as can be seen inFIG. 4 ). Similarly, the opposingstraps respective sides straps attachment elements 145 are positioned as illustrated, then face forward toward theattachment element 150 on the upper strap 120 (as shown inFIG. 5 ). This allows the opposingstraps upper strap 120 to hold theattachment structure 100 in place on the chest protector 1. As will be understood, different positioning ofattachment elements straps upper strap 120. -
FIG. 6 illustrates theattachment structure 100 as engaged with the chest protector 1. It will be understood that theattachment structure 100 of the chest protector 1 may be positioned on the front of the chest protector 1 (with thestraps straps FIGS. 7 and 8 . In another alternative embodiment, one or more straps may include hooks or other engagement structures for attaching directly to thesides neck portion 15. Alternatively, any such hooks or other engagement structures could secure theattachment structure 100 directly to thesides neck portion 15, without the use of any or asmany straps - When positioned on the chest protector 1, the
attachment structure 100 absorbs and thereby reduces the amount of force transmitted to the wearer. Thepad element 105 of theattachment structure 100 preferably includes energy attenuating foam or other mechanical system to attenuate force transmission therethrough. By selectively positioning theattachment structure 100 on the prior art chest protector 1, the wearer can choose when additional protection is warranted and when it is not. Doing so avoids the purchase of entirely new chest protectors 1. - The
attachment mechanism 100 may include a non-skid surface, such as rubber or the like, to keep theattachment mechanism 100 from shifting undesirably during use. Additionally, although a size/shape/position for theattachment mechanism 100 is shown in the drawings, it will be understood that different sizes, shapes, and positioning are also envisioned. For example, rather than merely adding protection to the upper chest of a wearer, theattachment mechanism 100 could extend farther down the chest protector 1, or farther up the shoulders, or the like. Similarly, theattachment mechanism 100 could secure to the chest protector 1 using mechanisms other thanstraps Straps - From the foregoing, it will be seen that the various embodiments of the present invention are well adapted to attain all the objectives and advantages hereinabove set forth together with still other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the present structures. It will be understood that certain features and sub-combinations of the present embodiments are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and sub-combinations.
