Shoulder pad

A method for shaping a shoulder of a wearer, the method consisting essentially of the steps of:

• providing a unitary piece of a porous foamed resinous material having a lower surface having a length and a width said length being at least 50% greater than said width which lower surface defines a dome-shaped, arcuate opening adapted to receive a shoulder;
• and
• placing the unitary piece of a porous foamed resinous material directly on the shoulder beneath a garment such that the device contacts the front, back, top and side of the shoulder wherein the unitary piece of a porous foamed resinous material is substantially uncovered so that, in use, the porous foamed resinous material is in direct contact with both the shoulder and the garment and thereby remains in position on the shoulder.

A device for shaping a shoulder of a wearer, said device consisting essentially of:

• a unitary piece of a porous foamed resinous material having a lower surface having a length and a width said length being 50% greater than said width which lower surface defines a dome-shaped, arcuate opening adapted to receive a shoulder, the dome-shaped, arcuate opening being defined such that when placed on a shoulder, the device contacts the front, back and side of the shoulder wherein the device remains in position on said shoulder and further wherein the porous foamed resinous material is substantially uncovered so that, in use, the porous foamed resinous material is in direct contact with both the shoulder and a garment.

A device for shaping a shoulder of a wearer, said device having a dome-shaped, arcuate lower surface having a length and width, said width being the distance in the direction along the top of the shoulder covered by the device when in position on a shoulder, said length being the greatest linear distance defined by the device in a direction perpendicular to the width of the device, said length being at least about 50% greater than said width said device defining a first substantially vertical section adapted to engage the front side of a shoulder a second substantially vertical section adapted to engage the back side of a shoulder, and a lip section adapted to engage the side of a shoulder and being formed from a porous foamed resinous material which is substantially uncovered so that, in use, the porous foamed resinous material is in direct contact with both the shoulder and a garment.

A device for adding shape to a shoulder of a wearer of a garment which covers the shoulder, said device including:

• a unitary piece of a porous foamed resinous material having an outer surface and a dome-shaped, arcuate opening adapted to receive the shoulder, the dome-shaped, arcuate opening having a length and a width with the length being at least 50% greater than the width, the dome-shaped, arcuate opening having a lip section adapted to engage the side of a shoulder and a depth such that when placed on the shoulder and beneath the garment, the device remains in position on the shoulder and wherein the outer surface of the porous foamed resinous material is uncovered so that when the device is in position on the shoulder and beneath the garment, the outer surface of the device is in direct contact with the shoulder and the garment.
