Abstract:
A leg guard device for ball players includes a plurality of plates, a first panel, and a second panel. The plates are hingedly interconnected and configured to position on a front of a lower leg of a user. The first panel and the second panel are coupled to and extend from a first edge and a second edge of the plurality of plates, respectively, and are configured to extend over a back of the lower leg. The second panel is resilient and thus configured to be stretched. A first coupler and a plurality of second couplers are coupled to the first panel and the second panel, respectively, distal from the plurality of plates. Each second coupler is positioned a respective distance from a perimeter of the second panel. The first coupler is positioned to selectively couple to a respective second coupler to couple the plurality of plates to the user.

Claim (Index 1):
A leg guard device comprising:\n a plurality of plates, said plates being hingedly interconnected wherein said plurality of plates is configured for positioning on a front of a lower leg of a user; a first panel coupled to and extending from a first edge of said plurality of plates; a second panel coupled to and extending from a second edge of said plurality of plates, wherein said first panel and said second panel are configured for extending over a back of the lower leg of the user, said second panel being resilient wherein said second panel is configured for stretching; a first coupler coupled to said first panel distal from said plurality of plates; and a plurality of second couplers coupled to said second panel distal from said plurality of plates, each said second coupler being positioned a respective distance from a perimeter of said second panel, said second couplers being complementary to said first coupler wherein said first coupler is positioned for selectively coupling to a respective said second coupler for coupling said plurality of plates to the lower leg of the user.
