ABSTRACT:
A protective body appliance to prevent injury from external force to the underlying region of the wearer's body. The body appliance comprises a generally dome-shaped rigid shield secured to a flexible, compressible pad. The pad has an inner section that is adhered to the wearer's body, and an outer section to which the rigid shield is attached. The inner pad section has two lateral wings separated by a center region all of which form an exposed surface which is placed against the wearer's body. The inner pad section is mated to the outer pad section along the center region so that the wings are movable relative to the outer pad section. The wings permit the shield and outer pad section to shift or rock relative to the inner pad section in response to body movements and external forces, thus increasing the appliance's ability to remain adhered to the wearer over time.
