ABSTRACT:
A hinged shoulder pad and method of forming such a pad is disclosed comprising precutting the component pieces or panels which will comprise the shoulder pad into a single integral unit from a blank of suitable material, such as resinated polyester, with each of the panels being cut into the desired size and shape to form the shoulder pad. Adjacent panels are cut through along their common base end or fold line leaving uncut portions at the extremities thereof to form hinges between the adjoining pieces, such that there is a slit formed between the hinges at each end. This permits the unfolded pad panels to be picked up as a singular unit and interfolded in the desired manner such that a laminated pad comprising the panels is formed of the desired thickness depending upon the number of layers employed. The thickness of the laminated pad can be increased or decreased by adding or reducing the number of pieces employed. Upon folding the panels into the desired laminated arrangement, a single tack is applied substantially centrally of the pad to hold the panels in place for subsequent heat molding to form the pad. The heat molding is conventionally applied to the entire pad such that the layers are securely bonded into the desired shoulder pad.
