Abstract
A means for forming a protective or like device, wherein a development member is provided which forms the contoured surface of the device and the means by which the protective or like device is retained on the particular body member. The novel construction of the development member simplifies construction of the protective or like device and provides a contour which enables the protective or like device to more nearly approximate the hand position which is assumed during use of the protective or like device. Various modifications are adapted to cover various protective devices for the hand, wrist, arm and elbow.
