  • Hockey goaltender's pad with flexible outside roll
    Patent number: 5806092
    Abstract: A hockey goaltender's pad is described, in which the upper segment of each side roll is sewn with darts which facilitate flexing of the rolls. As the knee is bent, the darts open, thus in effect increasing the length of the outside of the roll in response to the tensile load there, so that the outside of the roll does not restrict the flexing. As the leg is straightened again, the darts close.

  • Hockey goaltender's glove with flexible cuff
    Patent number: 5781929
    Abstract: A hockey goaltender's glove is described, in which the outer cuff thereof is divided into three segments, namely a central segment and two lateral segments, and in which the central segment is connected to the lateral segments along edges thereof, via elastic webbing. The central segment thus may be readily flexed outwardly and away from the lateral segments, thereby providing improved flexibility of the cuff, to improve the goaltender's ability to smother the puck, without unduly sacrificing protection of the wrist and forearm area.

  • Hockey goaltender's glove with split trap
    Patent number: 5511244
    Abstract: A hockey goaltender's glove is described, in which the pocket is divided by a central web split into two side-by-side web portions along a substantial part of its length, or by two separate web portions, the web portions being tied by webbing such that a gap is created between them, spanned by webbing. By virtue of the web portions and the gap, the pocket flexes and closes around the puck more easily, thereby providing more reliable trapping of the puck.
