  Shoulder protection systemUSPTO Application #: 20060010590Title: Shoulder protection system Abstract: This invention is an upper body protection system for contact sport players with an external semi-rigid articulating system comprised of a Collar, a Sternal Plate, a Back Plate and three Epaulets on each side. The entire system is designed to protect the shoulders and upper body by dissipating the force of a blow and then redirecting the residual force to the strongest load bearing parts of the body behind and on the sides of the neck where the collar section rests. The system protects areas of the upper body (namely the plexus of nerves exiting at the sides of the neck [Erb's Point]; the collar bone [clavicle]; the A-C joint [Acromio-Clavicular Joint]; the shoulder blades [Scapulae]; the spine; the breast bone [sternum]; the ribs; and underlying vital organs that are prone to injury. The system offers maximum protection while also allowing almost complete freedom of movement. (end of abstract) Agent: Marc Huschke - Scottsdale, AZ, US Inventors: Marc A. Huschke, Gary R.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [0001] This is a shoulder and upper body protection system for contact and action sports. The semi-rigid and foam protection system protects the structures of the shoulder, upper chest, and upper back while allowing for nearly complete mobility of the shoulders, upper arms and torso. The Shoulder Protection System is designed to dissipate impact forces and redirect any residual forces to the strongest load bearing part of the body; the upper back and medial shoulder. [0002] This is a shoulder and upper body protection system for contact and action sports. The semi-rigid and foam protection system protects the structures of the shoulder, upper chest, spine, ribs and upper back while allowing for nearly complete mobility of the shoulders, upper arms and torso. The Shoulder Protection System is designed to dissipate impact forces and redirect any residual forces to the strongest load bearing parts of the body; the upper back and medial shoulder. The semi rigid plastic covers strategically placed and anatomically specific foam padding eliminating any unnecessary padding and reducing overall weight. The collar is relatively narrow in relation to the width of the shoulders in order to provide freedom for upward movement of the outer part of the shoulders without interference. The first epaulet is fixed to the collar and the second epaulet rests on top of the first and is hinged with supporting arms from the front and the back of the collar. The hinge mechanism is designed so the wearer can move freely upon upward movement of the outer part of the shoulders, but locks when downward force is applied creating a protective channel for the shoulder and related structures.
