Patent number: 11058939Abstract: The present invention is directed to a leg guard that provides increased protection while also providing maximum articulation and increased freedom of movement for the user. More particularly, the leg guard includes a toe guard, a shin guard, a knee guard including an extended knee cap wrap, an extended knee guard, a thigh guard, a left hinge, and a right hinge. Through the use of an extended knee cap wrap and a hinged configuration, the leg guard provides additional protection for the knees of a catcher and allows catchers to freely and quickly move to or through different stances without having to re-position the pads of the leg guard. The hinged configuration provides enhanced mobility for the user by preventing the leg guard from shifting and rotating about the shin of the user and allowing the leg guard to remain static without axial rotation or vertical movement.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Ampac Enterprises Inc.Inventors: Austin Rodrick, Stanley Jurga, Jr., Brad Jurga, Ya Chi Chen, Shyan Wei Chen
