(57) This invention is about a flexible light protection structure, that can be used as
a knee pad, ankle support, thigh support, etc.. This invention is also the base structure
for the construction of helmets, chest protectors or even protective gloves, that
are usually required when practicing sports in general. The structure of the present
invention is very light and flexible and has a great capacity for absorbing shocks
without translating them. This invention relates to a mesh (2) conformed by interwoven
helical straps (1). The mesh (2) is folded onto itself defining at least one internal
cavity where ribs (5,6,7,8) are housed for rigidity purposes. The mesh (2) can be
made of any material such as plastic, artificial fibers or metal. The inclusion of
rigid reinforcing rods (12,13,14,15) intercalated with the helical straps (1) is also
