  • Patent number: 10485289
    Abstract: A safety slipper (10) includes a stretchable fabric material upper portion (12) and a porous anti-skid lower portion. The upper portion has a foot opening (16) and a profile heel pocket (17). The lower portion (13) is made from a scrim cloth type material having a knit of polyester threads (21) coated with a soft poly-vinyl chloride outer layer (22). The lower portion provides for a cris-crossing pattern or matrix of interconnected nodes (23) with spaces (24) therebetween.

  • Patent number: 8469913
    Abstract: An injured limb protector (10) includes a pad (11), a tubular pad cover (12) surrounding the pad, and a tubular sleeve (13). The pad is a dual density material having an outer layer (16) which is made of a high density material bonded to an inner layer (17) which is made of a low density material. The outer layer is scored or cut to allow manipulation of the pad to conform to an elbow or heel. The pad includes a central portion (19), two oppositely disposed end flaps (22) and two oppositely disposed side flaps (23), which allow it to be formed into a cup-shaped pad. The sleeve is provided with a visible alignment line (26) oriented longitudinally upon the one side (15) of the sleeve to which the pad is mounted.
