Abstract
A protective sporting gear is described with a plurality of polygon-shaped protective components interposed between a first layer of material and a second layer of material. The plurality of polygon-shaped protective components are attached to a top surface of the first layer of material. Each of the plurality of protective components includes one or more polygon-shaped layers of rigid material situated on one or more polygon-shaped layers of non-rigid material. A bottom surface of a first polygon-shaped layer of non-rigid material of the one or more polygon-shaped layers of non-rigid material is attached to the top surface of the first layer of material.
Claims20
A protective sporting gear, comprising:
- a first layer of material;
- a plurality of polygon-shaped protective components attached to a top surface of the first layer of material, each of the plurality of polygon-shaped protective components is independent of and decoupled from neighboring protective components of the plurality of polygon-shaped protective components and comprises one or more polygon-shaped layers of rigid material situated on one or more polygon-shaped layers of non-rigid material with a bottom surface of a first polygon-shaped layer of non-rigid material of the one or more polygon-shaped layers of non-rigid material being attached to the top surface of the first layer of material;
- and
- a second layer of material positioned over the plurality of polygon-shaped protective components so that the plurality of polygon-shaped protective components is interposed between the first layer of material and the second layer of material.
A protective sporting gear, comprising:
- a fabric including a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a plurality of polygon-shaped protective components independent of and decoupled from neighboring protective components of the plurality of polygon-shaped protective components and attached to the top surface of the fabric, each of the plurality of polygon-shaped protective components comprises one or more polygon-shaped layers of rigid material having a perimeter aligned with and corresponding to one or more polygon-shaped layers of non-rigid material,
- wherein a bottom surface of a first polygon-shaped layer of non-rigid material of the one or more polygon-shaped layers of non-rigid material being attached to the top surface of the fabric.
A protective sporting gear, comprising:
- a first layer of material including a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a plurality of hexagon-shaped protective components attached to the top surface of the first layer of material, each of the plurality of protective components comprises a hexagon-shaped layer of rigid material having a perimeter vertically aligned with and corresponding to a hexagon-shaped layer of non-rigid material independent of and decoupled from one or more neighboring protective components of the plurality of polygon-shaped protective components,
- wherein a bottom surface of the hexagon-shaped layer of non-rigid material being is attached to the top surface of the first layer of material.
