ABSTRACT:
A protective body pad (10) for lessening injury to knees, elbows and other body parts as a result of exposure to either repetitive or sudden impact forces. The protective body pad of this invention includes a shell (14) with straps (16, 18) that is secured to the body part to be protected. A cushion sub-assembly (12) is disposed inside the shell. The cushion-sub assembly includes a first, outer cushion (22) formed of relatively incompressible material and a second, inner cushion (24) formed of more compressible material that is attached to the outer cushion and positioned to be located adjacent the body surface. Metal caps (20) are attached to the outer surface of the shell to absorb and deflect impact forces.
