  • Fig. 4C is an exploded view of a knee (or elbow) pad 400, according to some embodiments of the present invention.
  • Pad 400 may be designed as a three-layered article.
  • Top protection layer 404 may be impact-distribution layer 404, which is aimed at distributing an impact on the knee, when kneeling or otherwise.
  • This layer may be made, for example, from a laminate of polypropylene and aramide, and is aimed at distributing an incoming impact over the layer so as to reduce the pressure imparted by the impact on the knee and minimize any risk of damage.
  • Second protection later 403 may be a puncture-resistant layer, which may be made, for example from aramide. This layer is design to prevent, or greatly reduce the possibility of a sharp object, such as, for example, a blade, a nail, broken glass, etc. from penetrating the pad and injuring the soldier's knee, when kneeling down.
  • a sharp object such as, for example, a blade, a nail, broken glass, etc.
  • a third cushioning layer 402 - which is designed to face the knee or elbow, serves as a cushioning layer, to cushion the knee, when placed on the ground, when the soldier kneels, or when coming in contact with or hit by a rigid object (e.g., wall, stone, metal object, etc.).
  • the third layer may be made, for example, from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyethylene foam, etc.
  • Fig. 4D illustrates bending compliance of a knee or elbow pad, according to some embodiments of the present invention.
  • the elbow or knee pad are designed to dynamically change from a generally flat orientation, along the elongated axis of the leg or arm, when placed over a straightened knee or elbow, to a bent orientation, when the knee or elbow bend, in compliance with the bending of that limb.
  • the pad is designed to present a curvature that is orthogonal to and extending along the longitudinal axis of the limb, so as to conform to the curvature of the limb.
  • the pad has a substantially fixed curvature 414 orthogonally to the elongated axis 415.
  • the cushioning layer may be provided with two substantially opposite indentations 410, which define an axis extending between these indentations, about which the pad may bend.
  • a groove 408 in the cushion padding 406 may enhance this bending axis, as the padding is likely to more readily yield along the groove 408 in response to bending force applied on the pad.
  • the second puncture resistant layer is typically rather thin and possess some flexibility, that allows it to bend easily with the bending of the third cushioning layer.
  • the first, impact distribution layer is typically hard and not as flexible as the other two layers. Furthermore, because of its curvature extending along the elongated axis, it may be hard to bend it about the bending axis 413, which is substantially orthogonal (right angle 418) to the elongated axis 415. To address this problem the first puncture-resistant layer 404 may be comprised of two parts 404a and 404b, which partially overlap. The two parts may be stitched together along stitch line 407, so that the edge 409 of part 404b, which is over part 404a, is free - not secured to part 404a. Thus, when the pad is bent in conjunction with bending of the knee or elbow, a bend curvature 416 of the pad may be obtained.
  • Fig. 5A is a front view of a PCC underwear 500, according to some embodiments of the invention.
  • Fig. 5B is a back view of a PCC underwear 500, according to some embodiments of the invention.
  • Underwear 500 may be made as a complete piece of clothing 502, from for example, UHMWPE knit fabric, for enhanced protection against shrapnel and/or ricochets.
  • a rubber band 504 may be provided for holding the underwear about the waist and/or thighs of the wearer.
  • Lycra threads may be incorporated into the UHMWPE knit fabric for added flexibility and comfort.
