ABSTRACT:
A limb guard for protecting a part of a limb from an external impact force includes an elongate pad member to shield the part of the limb, and a one-piece resilient impact absorbing member. The pad member extends in a lengthwise direction of the limb and has a rear surface to face the limb, and a front surface. The impact absorbing member is disposed upon the pad member, and includes two lateral end portions and a plurality of cushioning units in the form of consecutive box pleats between the lateral end portions. Each of the cushioning units includes a pair of outer folded lateral edges on a front side thereof facing the lateral end portions respectively, a front elongate portion between the outer folded lateral edges to bear the external impact force, a pair of inner folded lateral edges on a rear side thereof, and a rear elongate portion disposed between adjacent inner folded lateral edges of adjacent cushioning units to abut against the front surface of the pad member when the front elongate portion is subjected to impact.
