Abstract: A knee brace comprising a frame assembly comprising an outer frame portion and an inner frame portion. The outer frame portion has a first outer transverse member, a second outer transverse member, and an outer side member configured to extend along a length of a first side of a user's leg when worn by the user, the outer side member extending between the first outer transverse member and the second outer transverse member. The inner frame portion has a first inner transverse member, a second inner transverse member, and an inner side member opposite the outer side member and is configured to extend along a length of a second side of a user's leg when worn by the user, the second side member extending between the first inner transverse member and the second inner transverse member. The outer frame portion and inner frame portion define a top portion of the frame assembly and a bottom portion of the frame assembly, the top and bottom portions configured to be pivotable relative to each other.

Abstract: A protective pad for protection from impact and a protective garment using the protective pad may be provided. In one implementation, the protective pad may include a foam part and a plate part. The foam part may include a plurality of channels, a plurality of cutout portions, and a plate accommodating section for receiving the plate part. The channels may be formed in a first surface of the foam part and the plate accommodating section may be formed in a second surface opposite to the first surface. The cutout portions of the foam part may include through-holes formed in the foam part from the first surface to the second surface. The plate part may be arranged on the plate accommodating section of the foam part, and the plate part may include a plurality of cutout portions that are substantially aligned with the cutout portions of the foam part.

Abstract: An ankle brace includes a main body configured to receive a foot of a wearer and an ankle stay coupled to the main body. The ankle stay includes a superior anterior section, an intermediate anterior section, and an inferior anterior section. The superior anterior section is configured to be disposed anteriorly relative to the ankle of the foot of the wearer, and the superior anterior section includes a first convex edge facing in an anterior direction and a first concave edge facing in a posterior direction. The intermediate anterior section is configured to be disposed inferiorly relative to the ankle of the foot of the wearer. The intermediate anterior section includes a second convex edge facing in the posterior direction and a second concave edge facing in the anterior direction.

Abstract: A child-supporting harness comprises a harness portion and a child-carrying portion. The harness portion comprises a dorsal member having an upper section and a lower section; a waist strap depending from the lower section of the dorsal member; a pair of shoulder straps depending from the upper section of the dorsal member; and a pair of torso straps selectively attached to the dorsal member between the upper section and the lower section thereof. The child-carrying pouch is releasably secured to the harness portion.

Abstract: The invention is to shoulder pads having arches that are pivotably connected to the chest and back portions of the pads to give an increased range of motion for a user. The arch is connected with a single pivoting connection on the chest portion and a single pivoting connection on the back portion so that the arch pivots relative to the chest and back portions of the shoulder pads. The arch portions of the pads are manufactured by injection molding so that the arches maintain their arch shape without the need for structural components to maintain its shape. The invention also includes a buckle system for shoulder pads that provide an easy mechanism for a user to adjust and to take the pads on and off. The buckle system provides a generally flush mount which reduces and preferably eliminates any grab points.

Abstract: An ankle brace including an ankle wrap assembly including a main body having an inner surface, an outer surface, a top, a bottom, a front defining a foot opening, a first side panel, a second side panel, a rear, and a bottom panel. The ankle brace includes first and second ankle pads attached to the main body; a first support attached to the main body first side panel, and a second attached to the main body second side panel, and a bottom support. The ankle brace is configured to be secured to a user's ankle when worn.
