Lining for a Padding Device for Sports

Abstract

A lining for a padding device for sports includes a buffer pad having outer and inner surfaces. A plurality of slots extends from the outer surface through the inner surface. The inner surface of the buffer pad is wavy and mounted to an inner surface of a padding device. A wavy, air-impermeable first sealing layer is bonded to the outer surface and is in contact with the inner surface of the padding device. A wavy, air-impermeable second sealing layer is bonded to the inner surface of the buffer pad. The first and second sealing layers seal the of the buffer pad. The second sealing layer is in contact with a body of a wearer. Spaces are defined between the wavy second sealing layer and the body of the wearer for convection of air.

1 . A lining for a padding device for sports comprising, in combination:
 a buffer pad ( 103 ) including outer and inner surfaces ( 105 ,  107 ), with a plurality of slots ( 109 ) extending from the outer surface ( 105 ) through the inner surface ( 107 ) of the buffer pad ( 103 ), with the inner surface ( 107 ) of the buffer pad ( 103 ) being wavy and adapted to be mounted to an inner surface of a padding device ( 10 );   a first sealing layer ( 111 ) bonded to the outer surface ( 105 ) of the buffer pad ( 103 ), with the first sealing layer ( 111 ) being impermeable to air and adapted to be in contact with the inner surface of the padding device ( 10 );   a second sealing layer ( 113 ) bonded to the inner surface ( 107 ) of the buffer pad ( 103 ), with the second sealing layer ( 113 ) being wavy and having a shape corresponding to that of the inner surface ( 107 ) of the buffer pad ( 103 ), with the second sealing layer ( 113 ) being impermeable to air, with the first and second sealing layers ( 111 ,  113 ) sealing the plurality of slots ( 109 ) of the buffer pad ( 103 ), with the second sealing layer ( 113 ) adapted to be in contact with a body of a wearer, with spaces defined between the wavy second sealing layer ( 113 ) and the body of the wearer for convection of air.   
     
     
         2 . The lining for a padding device for sports as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising, in combination: a plurality of vents ( 121 ) extending from the first sealing layer ( 111 ) through the second sealing layer ( 113 ), with the plurality of vents ( 121 ) cooperating with the wavy second sealing layer ( 113 ) to provide air convention.
