Patent ID: 8813262

Claim:
A wrist protector for a sport glove comprising: (a) a bending element configured to bend during bending of a wrist; (b) wherein the bending element is further configured so that its length changes during bending of the wrist; (c) wherein a change of the length of the bending element leads to an elastic restoring force; and (d) wherein the bending element comprises a first plate having a curved portion with bounded ends, a separate second plate having a curved portion with bounded ends, wherein the curved portion of the first plate and the curved portion of the second plate at least partially overlap, and an elastic element at least partially overlapping the curved portions of the first plate and the second plate between the bounded ends to couple the first plate to the second plate, wherein the elastic element allows the first plate and the second plate to longitudinally shift with respect to each other during longitudinal bending of the wrist, and to radially shift with respect to each other between the bounded ends of the curved portions to provide limited orthogonal bending of the wrist.
