ABSTRACT:
A pair of elongated upstanding inner and outer stiff, but slightly flexible, members are provided for disposition along the thigh of the user with the inner member extending along and opposing the thigh and the outer member remote from the thigh. The members are at least slightly downwardly divergent and the outer member includes a lower end portion projecting below the lower end of the inner member. The knee guard defined by the inner and outer members may be secured to the user's thigh by tape bands encircling the thigh and overlying the outer surface of the inner member. The lower end portion of the outer member is to be horizontally registered with the associated knee and includes padding structure supported from the inner side thereof. A second form of the invention includes two pairs of inner and outer upstanding members connected together by means of horizontally disposed and rearwardly opening upper and lower generally U-shaped braces extending and secured between the upper ends of the pairs of members and the lower ends of the outer members. The inner surfaces of the U-shaped members are padded and a flexible panel extends along and is secured between the inner members throughout substantially their entire length and may be deflected forwardly to enclose an area slightly smaller than the area enclosed by the upper U-shaped brace.
