Abstract

An impact resistant pad, for example, for a garment such as a glove (10). The impact resistant element is formed of a plurality of upstanding interconnected walls (1) arranged in a lattice pattern, the lattice being arranged in a Penrose tiling pattern.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An impact resistant pad comprising an impact resistant element formed of a plurality of upstanding interconnected walls arranged in a lattice pattern, the lattice being arranged in a Penrose tiling pattern. 
     
     
         2 . The impact resistant pad according to  claim 1 , wherein the impact resistant element is connected to an underlying substrate. 
     
     
         3 . The impact resistant pad according to  claim 2 , wherein the underlying substrate is part of a garment. 
     
     
         4 . The impact resistant pad according to  claim 1  wherein the walls are resiliently deformable 
     
     
         5 . The impact resistant pad according to  claim 1 , wherein the mean height of the wall is 1-20 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The impact resistant pad according to  claim 1 , wherein the mean width of the wall is 0.2-5.0 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The impact resistant pad according to  claim 1 , wherein intersection between three or more walls is defined as a node, and wherein the mean spacing between nodes is 3-30 mm. 
     
     
         8 . A garment incorporating the pad according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         9 . The garment according to  claim 8  incorporating a plurality of the pads according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         10 . The garment according to  claim 9 , wherein further comprising flexible impact absorbing features formed of a plurality of interconnecting walls having auxetic properties. 
     
     
         11 . The garment according to  claim 8 , wherein the garment is a glove. 
     
     
         12 . A case for a mobile communication device with a screen, incorporating a pad according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         13 . A method of forming an impact resistant pad according to  claim 1  by 3D printing the walls.
