  • Knee protector
    Patent number: 3945047
    Abstract: A knee protector for athletes features a resilient body portion having interconnected internal fluid-filled chambers for absorbing straight on or lateral impact forces on the knee joint and for distributing these forces in a most advantageous manner. An internal brace structure reinforces the resilient body portion and includes articulated brace sections within the critical side shock-absorbing chambers to allow natural knee flexure but to strongly resist lateral bending. Mobility and reasonable comfort are not sacrificed.
