ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a protective device adapted to protect the hand, palm and wrist of a person while one is engaging in a sporting activity, such as skateboarding or football, and can also be used to retain the hand, palm, and wrist substantially immobile after an injury. The device has a contoured, generally rectangular shape constructed of a resilient, energy-absorbent material, such as plastic foam, which is coated or covered on at least one side with a covering layer. A bendable stiffening member is interposed between the covering layer and resilient material forming a sandwich-like construction. The peripheral edges of the resilient material and the covering layer extend beyond the peripheral edges of the stiffening member. The novel construction provides a generally cylindrical protective means when the device is worn. Suitable fastening means are provided to retain the device on the wearer's hand, palm and wrist.
