  • Patent number: 6785909
    Abstract: A sports guard includes a hollow body having a pad attached to a side thereof. The pad includes a substrate and an outer layer. The substrate includes a first shock absorbing member. A second shock absorbing member is embedded into at least one section of an inner face of the first shock absorbing member. The second shock absorbing member has a shock absorbing capacity greater than that of the first shock absorbing member and is located in a position corresponding to a joint of a user wearing the sports guard. By such an arrangement, transmission of an external impact to the joint is almost impossible.
