Abstract: An impact absorbing pad includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has a first body-facing surface configured to be positioned adjacent a garment and a first outer surface opposite the first body-facing surface. The first layer comprises a first foam having a first density. The first layer defines a first plurality of voids that extend through the first layer at a first plurality of positions. The second layer has a second body-facing surface positioned adjacent the first outer surface of the first layer and a second outer surface opposite the second body-facing surface. The second layer comprises a second foam having a second density that is different than the first density. The second layer defines a second plurality of voids that extend through the second layer at a second plurality of positions. Portions of the first outer surface of the first layer are visible through the second plurality of voids of the second layer.

Abstract: The invention provides a wearing assembly for wearing on a user's shoulders, and a reminder device for generating vibrations or sounds to remind the user to adjust his/her current body posture. When the user is in a hunchback posture, the width of the user's back increases to exert enough outward pulling force on the reminder device and triggers vibrations or sounds. The wearing assembly includes two connecting belts and two shoulder wear pieces. The reminder device includes a casing, a fixed fastener, a movable fastener, a first guide member, a second guide member, a first contact end, a counting module, and a microswitch. When the first contact end moves and contacts the microswitch, the microswitch will enter a conductive state, so that the casing will produce vibrations or sounds. The counting module is used to accumulate the number of times the microswitch is contacted within a period of time.

Abstract: A garment includes an impact absorbing pad having a layer of foam material with a body-facing surface, an outer surface that is opposite the body-facing surface, and a set of voids that extend through the layer in a multiple locations. The voids have a repeating pattern of shapes. Each shape includes three void arms having equal lengths that extend from a central vertex point. The impact absorbing pad may also include a second layer overlapping the first layer. The density of the first and second layer may be the same or may be different. The second layer may also have a set of voids overlapping the first set of voids. A covering covers the outer surface of the impact absorbing pad. The impact absorbing pad has a Shore durometer value of about 25 to about 50.

Abstract: A groin guard has a cushion cup and a rigid cover. The cushion cup has a concave surface, a convex surface, and a foam layer. The foam layer is a block integrally formed by a foaming material. The rigid cover is integrally combined with the convex surface of the cushion cup via an injection process. The groin guard is visually appealing and is enhanced in protection and wearing comfort.

Abstract: A sports protective gear includes a stretchable protective sleeve defining a wearing space for wearing by a user and having a through hole bounded by a boundary edge of the protective sleeve, and an auxiliary device including a finger operable member disposed in the through hole and having a looped wall and two spaced-apart looped flanges. The looped wall defines a finger pass age. The flanges project outwardly and respectively from inner and outer peripheries of the looped wall, and cooperatively define therebetween an engaging groove which extends around the looped wall and which engages the boundary edge of the protective sleeve. The flanges respectively abut against inner and outer surfaces of the protective sleeve.

Abstract: A functional sock including a sock body having an opening for insertion of a user's foot into said sock body, and an elastic unit having an elastic layer adhered to a surface of said sock body, and a functional layer covering said elastic layer. The sock body further has a sock bottom spaced apart from the opening for covering a sole of the user's foot and having the surface of the sock body.

Abstract: A protective cup comprises: a molded cup-shaped main body having a peripheral edge, upper and lower segments, and an intermediate transition segment interconnecting the upper and lower segments, the peripheral edge having top and bottom sides, the upper segment extending curvedly from the top side of the peripheral edge to the intermediate transition segment, the lower segment extending curvedly from the intermediate transition segment to the bottom side of the peripheral edge, the lower segment having a wall thickness less than that of the upper segment; and an elastic pad body having a loop-shaped lip connected to the peripheral edge of the cup-shaped main body.

Abstract: A method for making a breathable elastic laminate includes: (a) flame-treating a surface of a PU foam layer such that the surface of the PU foam layer is formed with a plurality of molten spots; and (b) disposing a breathable elastic layer over the molten spots such that the breathable elastic layer is adhered to the PU foam layer through the molten spots.
