Abstract: A limb guard serves to protect a part of a limb from an external impact force and includes an elongate pad member, an elongate sheet layer mounted on the pad member to form an accommodation space between the elongate sheet layer and the elongate pad member, and a one-piece resilient impact absorbing member. The shock absorbing member is inserted in the accommodation space, and has a longitudinally extending central section of a first thickness adapted to resist and consequently absorb the external impact force applied thereon, and two lateral wing sections which are integrally formed with and which extend laterally from two longitudinal edges of the central section.

Abstract: A limb guard for protecting a part of a limb from an external impact force includes an elongate pad member to shield the part of the limb, and a one-piece resilient impact absorbing member. The pad member extends in a lengthwise direction of the limb and has a rear surface to face the limb, and a front surface. The impact absorbing member is disposed upon the pad member, and includes two lateral end portions and a plurality of cushioning units in the form of consecutive box pleats between the lateral end portions.
