  • Publication number: 20020152546
    Abstract: A protective clothing patch for cushioning an at risk body part of a person wearing clothing. The protective clothing patch comprises a cushion member being a flexible cushioned member having a flat outer surface contact area and an parabolic shaped outer sheath. This outer sheath gives the patch its unique appearance as a modified football shape. The sheath covers high impact cushioning, in a parabolic form, which aids in its ability to conform to the natural contour of the at risk body part of the elbows, shins, shoulders, knees or buttocks. The protective clothing patch is permanently adhered to clothing of a person in the area desired to be protected from high impact. When the person comes into contact with the floor or ground the cushion member will better comfort the knees, elbows or buttocks.
