CA 2373535

A protection member primarily for use as an energy absorbing pad for incorporation into garments to protect the wearer against accidental impacts. The member comprises a putty-like energy absorbing material (2) encapsulated in a flexible envelope (3, 4). The energy absorbing material is normally soft and flexible but changes to become temporarily rigid when an impact force is applied thereto, thereby absorbing the impact energy, the material returning to its normal flexible condition after the impact. The energy absorbing member preferably comprises a series of connected corrugations (8) to increase its energy absorbing properties.

La présente invention concerne un élément de protection utilisé essentiellement comme un coussin amortisseur incorporé dans les vêtements afin de protéger l'utilisateur contre les chocs accidentels. Ledit élément comprend un matériau amortisseur de type mastic (2) encapsulé dans une enveloppe souple (3, 4). Le matériau amortisseur, qui est normalement mou et souple, se modifie et devient provisoirement rigide lorsqu'une force de choc lui est appliquée, ce qui lui permet d'amortir le choc, le matériau retournant à son état normal souple après le choc. L'élément amortisseur comprend de préférence une série d'ondulations reliées entre elles (8) qui augmentent ses propriétés amortissantes.
