ABSTRACT:
A shin guard which provides desired characteristics of smallness of size and lightness in weight, while affording the necessary protection to the shins and knees of users when worn under their pants. The shin guard includes an elongated shin protector section which is strapped around the shin of the user and which tapers outwardly from the shin to encircle the front portion of the leg below the kneecap so as to provide protection for the user. A knee protector section is pivotably mounted to the uppermost portion of the shin protector section. At a lowermost edge of the knee protector section is an elongated flexible tongue which extends along an interior surface of the shin protector section so when there is bending of the leg at the knee, the flexible tongue extends from beyond the shin protector section and is flexed outwardly so as to provide a guard against contact with the knee of a user while providing a space for outward flexing of the upper part of the tibia of the leg between convergent extensions of the shin protector section. The tongue is sufficiently flexible to operate within a restricted area under the pant leg or stocking of a user.
