Publication number: 20230270182Abstract: Aspects herein provide for a support garment having a vibration damping structure that is positioned between the breast contacting surfaces of the support garment. The vibration damping structure has a shape and/or material characteristics that enable it to substantially fill the space defined by a medial aspect of the wearer's breasts and the wearer's sternum. This positioning and placement facilitate the damping structure's ability to absorb and dissipate impact forces generated at least through the medial-to-lateral movement of the wearer's breasts during, for example, athletic activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Baron C.

Patent number: 9101171Abstract: A plurality of overlapping protective plates may form a protective device to protect a portion of a wearer's anatomy from impact. Each of the protective plates may have at least one connection point that retains the protective plate in position over the portion of the wearer's anatomy to be protected in an as worn position. The connection points may retain the protective plates to a flexible plate that may be conformed to the portion of the wearer's anatomy to be protected. Alternatively/additionally, the connection points on a protective plate may connect that plate to another protective plate, thereby allowing a structure of interconnected protective plates to be formed.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Baron Carl Brandt, Daniela Grogro, Ryan P.
