Abstract: An improved protective device for the arm of a person receiving blows from a participant in martial arts activities or the like. The device includes a main body portion formed of a resilient, conformable material such as a closed cell polyvinyl chloride foam and a pliable coating of polyvinyl chloride or the like. The main body portion has an enlarged main section, an outwardly extending hand section and an inwardly extending elbow section. The hand and elbow sections are circumferentially displaced with respect to each other. Straps secure the main body portion to the arm of a wearer. Hand pieces secure opposite edges of the device at the hand portion for being gripped by the wearer and to assist in correct placement.

Abstract: An improved headgear conformable to the head of a wearer and capable of absorbing energy to thereby protect the wearer against blows to the head. The headgear is fabricated of foam coated with a pliable coating. The foam is shaped as a circumferential strip adapted to encompass the head of the wearer and includes a first portion extending across the wearer's forehead, a second portion extending across the back of the wearer's head and intermediate portions extending across the sides of the wearer's head. The intermediate portions couple the wide portion and narrow portion. A concave region is formed in the interior of the wide portion to create a dome-shaped air space between the back of the wearer's head and the interior of the headgear for the increased absorption of the force of a blow to the back of the head of a wearer.

Abstract: An improved protective device for the thigh and knee of a participant in martial art activities or the like. The device includes a main body portion formed of a resilient, conformable foam such as a closed cell polyvinyl chloride foam or the like with a pliable coating of polyvinyl chloride or the like. The main body portion has an enlarged main section, an upwardly extending tapering section, a downwardly extending larger lower section and a downwardly extending smaller lower section. The downwardly extending larger lower section and the downwardly extending smaller lower section are separated by a recess with the recess being located closer to one edge than the other. Straps secure the main body portion to the thigh and knee of a wearer.
