Abstract
The disclosed apparatus, system and method includes at least a protective garment that prevents concussive effects on internal organs. The garment many include a garment body; and, embedded in the garment body, at least one multi-sectional pad. At least two of the multi-sections may comprise: at least one aramid layer; at least one multi-durometer foam layer having a substantially similar surface area to that provided by the at least one aramid layer; and at least one shield layer.
Claims15
A protective garment capable of preventing concussive impact effects on a side aspect of a user's cardiopulmonary system enclosed particularly by a left-lateral chest portion of the user, comprising:
- a garment body including at least one pocket portion placed over the lateral chest portion when the garment body is worn by the user;
- a pad for insertion into the at least one pocket portion to protect the side aspect when the garment body is worn by the user, comprising:
- at least one concussive-force dissipating layer;
- a multi-durometer foam layer having a similar shape and surface area to that provided by the concussive force dissipating layer, the multi-durometer foam layer comprising a most proximate part of the pad for insertion to the lateral chest portion when the garment body is worn by the user;
- and
- a shielding layer comprising a least proximate part of the pad for insertion to the lateral chest portion when the garment body is worn by the user.

- a garment body including at least one pocket portion placed over the lateral chest portion when the garment body is worn by the user;
- a pad for insertion into the at least one pocket portion to protect the side aspect when the garment body is worn by the user, comprising:
- at least one concussive-force dissipating layer;
- and
- multi-durometer foam layers comprised of at least a force dissipating foam layer and another layer in proximate comprised of a semi-high density foam layer or a semi-low density foam layer having a similar shape and surface area to that provided by the concussive force dissipating layer, the multi-durometer foam layers formed together in the pocket portion.

- a garment body including at least one pocket portion placed over the lateral chest portion when the garment body is worn by the user;
- a pad for insertion into the at least one pocket portion to protect the side aspect when the garment body is worn by the user, comprising:
- at least one concussive-force dissipating layer;
- multi-durometer foam layers comprised of at least a semi-high density foam layer and a semi-low density foam layer, each having a similar shape and surface area to that provided by the concussive force dissipating layer, the multi-durometer foam layers being adhered together in the pocket portion and comprising a most proximate part of the pad for insertion to the lateral chest portion when the garment body is worn by the user;
- and
- a semi-rigid shielding layer, placed in proximity to the multi-durometer foam layers and comprising a least proximate part of the pad for insertion to the lateral chest portion when the garment body is worn by the user.
