Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0187432A2] An appliance for protection against impact and strain injury, comprising a plurality of interconnected rigid or semi-rigid plates (15) aligned in overlapping relationship on a central common ligament (16). The ligament is removably attachable to a garment by strips (18) of hook and loop fastener attached along or the end regions of the ligament (16). When worn about a part of the body, the appliance permits limited relative movement between the plates thus providing impact resistance whilst maximising flexural movement of the body part to which the appliance is attached. The plates (15) may be stitched to or threaded upon the ligament (16) which may itself comprise a strip of hook and loop fastener.
