ABSTRACT:
A pad assembly for use as a protective device to protect from certain types of injury includes an outer shell including an upper and lower shell member. The upper shell is configured to fit over a specified portion of a person's body, such as the knee or elbow, and the lower shell is configured to fit over another portion of a person's body, such as the leg or forearm. The shells are joined together for relative hinged movement whereby the lower shell may be flexed while the upper shell remains in place. Foam padding is received on the side of said shell member facing the person's body and includes a peripheral portion extending beyond the shell member. A cloth member overlies the foam padding on the surface thereof spaced from the shell member and facing the person's body. The cloth member includes an elastic portion adapted to fit over the foam padding and the peripheral portion thereof which extends beyond the shell member. The shell member and assembled foam padding and cloth member are releasably secured in place to protect from abrasions and the like.
