Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to protective equipment and more particularly to protective equipment for a goaltender.
  • Protective equipment is typically worn when playing hockey and lacrosse to protect a player from injury.
  • hockey players typically wear protective equipment to avoid or minimize injury caused by interaction with other hockey players and/or from being struck by a hockey puck.
  • lacrosse players typically wear protective equipment to avoid or minimize injuries caused by contact with other players and/or from being struck by a lacrosse ball.
  • a hockey goaltender or lacrosse goaltender typically requires more protective equipment than do other hockey players or lacrosse players, as hockey goaltenders frequently utilize their body in stopping a hockey puck and lacrosse goaltenders typically utilize their body in stopping a lacrosse ball both in an effort to prevent other players from scoring a goal.
  • modern protective equipment is typically designed to cover as much of a goaltender's body as possible to minimize injury associated with blocking a hockey puck or lacrosse ball.
  • Conventional protective equipment for a goaltender typically includes a chest protector having a central padded portion to protect a thorax of the goaltender, a series of shoulder pads and/or plates to protect the shoulders of the goaltender, and arm pads that extend between the shoulder pads/plates and respective ones of a pair of protective gloves to protect the arms of the goaltender.
  • Providing an integral assembly having a chest protector, a shoulder protector, and arm protectors helps ensure that each portion of the upper body of the goaltender is covered and therefore protected.
  • a protector for a goaltender may include an upper portion having a first surface opposing a thorax of the goaltender and a second surface formed on an opposite side of the upper portion than the first surface.
  • a lower portion may be attached to the upper portion and may include a third surface opposing an abdomen of the goaltender and a fourth surface formed on an opposite side of the lower portion than the third surface. The third surface may oppose the second surface throughout a range of relative motion between the upper portion and the lower portion.
  • a protector for a goaltender may include an upper portion having a first surface opposing a thorax of the goaltender and a lower portion attached to the upper portion at a first location and attached to a pair of pants of the goaltender at a second location.
  • the lower portion may be movable relative to the upper portion and may include a second surface opposing an abdomen of the goaltender.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a chest protector incorporating a movable abdomen protector in a first position and in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the chest protector and movable abdomen protector of FIG. 1 shown in a second position;
  • FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the chest protector and movable abdomen protector of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the chest protector and movable abdomen protector of FIG. 1 taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of the chest protector and movable abdomen protector of FIG. 1 taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 2.
  • a chest or thorax protector 10 is shown in conjunction with a movable abdomen protector 12.
  • the chest protector 10 and movable abdomen protector 12 may be incorporated into an assembly 14 having integral shoulder pads or plates 16 and arm/elbow pads 18.
  • the assembly 14 including the chest protector 10 and movable abdomen protector 12 may be used in conjunction with protective pants 20 to provide a degree of protection to a goaltender, for example. While the chest protector 10 and movable abdomen protector 12 will be described hereinafter and shown in the drawings as being used in conjunction with a hockey goaltender, the chest protector 10 and movable abdomen protector 12 may be used in conjunction with any goaltender such as, for example, a lacrosse goaltender.
  • the chest protector 10 may include a plurality of energy-absorbing pads 22 disposed between a first layer 24 and a second layer 26.
  • the energy-absorbing pads 22 may be formed from an energy-absorbing material such as, for example, foam. While the energy-absorbing pads 22 are described as being constructed from a foam material, the energy-absorbing pads 22 may be formed from any suitable material that absorbs energy associated with an impact received at the first layer 24 that does not absorb or otherwise retain moisture.
  • an absorbent material having energy-absorbing properties may adequately absorb energy associated with a force applied to the chest protector 10 at the first layer 24, such absorbent material may retain moisture caused by perspiration or melted ice shavings, which unnecessarily increases the weight of the chest protector 10 during use.

  • the first layer 24 and the second layer 26 may be formed from a non-absorbent material such as, for example, nylon, to prevent absorption of moisture received at the first layer 24 or the second layer 26. While the first layer 24 and the second layer 26 are described as being formed from a nylon material, the first layer 24 and the second layer 26 could alternatively be formed from any material that wicks moisture.
  • the first layer 24 extends over and generally surrounds the energy-absorbing pads 22 and positions the energy- absorbing pads 22 relative to one another by creating a gap 28 between adjacent energy-absorbing pads 22.
  • the gaps 28 may be maintained by providing a stitch 30 within each gap 28 to attach the first layer 24 to the second layer 26. Providing the stitch 30 within each gap 28 maintains the gaps 28 between the energy-absorbing pads 22 and, as a result, maintains a relative position between each pad 22. While a stitch 30 is described as attaching the first layer 24 to the second layer 26 to define the gaps 28, any suitable method of attaching the first layer 24 to the second layer 26 such as, for example, adhesive, may be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to, the stitches 30.

  • the position of the abdomen protector 12 is generally fixed relative to the protective pants 20. Therefore, as the goaltender moves between the upright position shown in FIG. 1 and the crouched position shown in FIG. 2, the position of the abdomen protector 12 relative to the protective pants 20 is maintained. Further, interaction between the attachment feature 60 and the protective pants 20 causes the protective pants 20 to exert a force on the abdomen protector 12 when a goaltender moves from a crouched position (FIG. 2) to a substantially upright position (FIG. 1 ), thereby causing the abdomen protector 12 to move from the position shown in FIG. 5 to the position shown in FIG. 4 relative to the chest protector 10.
  • the abdomen protector 12 While a position of the abdomen protector 12 relative to the protective pants 20 is maintained due to engagement between the attachment feature 60 of the abdomen protector 12 and the belt 62 or other attachment feature of the protective pants 20 during movement between the upright position (FIG. 1 ) and the crouched position (FIG. 2), the abdomen protector 12 is permitted to translate or otherwise move relative to the chest protector 10 due to the attachment of the abdomen protector 12 to the chest protector 10 via the series of tethers 54, 56, 58. Such movement of the abdomen protector 12 relative to the chest protector 10 is further facilitated if any or all of the tethers 54, 56, 58 are formed from an elastic material.
