Abstract
An impact protection apparatus has a body portion formed of a first resilient material and a number of members protruding radially outward from the body portion. The members are formed of a second resilient material which is the same as or different from the first resilient material. The impact protection apparatus has an adhesive material or a mechanical fastener disposed about the body portion and/or the members. The apparatus may be affixed to a surface.
Claims5
A human impact protection apparatus for protecting a user against a dangerous location, the human impact protection apparatus comprising:
- a body portion formed of a first resilient material;
- four members substantially spaced apart protruding radially outward from said body portion, said four members being formed of a second resilient material which is the same as or different from said first resilient material, said four members each having a rounded tip;
- and
- an adhesive material or a mechanical fastener disposed about one or both of said body portion and said four members, whereby the human impact protection apparatus may be affixed to a surface, and whereby the human impact protection apparatus may be modularly interleafed with another human impact protection apparatus to substantially prevent any spaces therebetween,
- wherein said body portion and said four members have a substantially symmetrical shape and are foldable over a plurality of different shaped surfaces to cover said plurality of different shaped surfaces without bulging,
- wherein said four members protruding radially outwardly from said body portion are a first member, a second member, a third member, and a fourth member, and wherein said body has a first lateral axis and a second longitudinal axis being perpendicular to said first lateral axis, said first member forming a first angle relative to said first lateral axis being in a range that includes forty five degrees to ninety degrees, said second member forming a second angle relative to said first lateral axis being in a range that includes zero degrees to forty five degrees, said third member forming a third angle relative to said first lateral axis being in a range that includes forty five degrees to ninety degrees, and wherein said fourth member forms a fourth angle relative to said first lateral axis being in a range that includes zero degrees to forty five degrees.
