Old school JT RACING BODY PROTECTOR AND ELBOW PROTECTORS. THIS IS A PACKAGE.
Classic pieces.
OK shape.
NEED A GREAT CLEANUP.
Both shoulder caps lost colour where they collide with the body armour.
The straps of both items have lost most of their elasticity. The elbow protector straps have been sown to fit as the former owner did have smaller arms.
THESE ARE KILLER PIECES OF BMX HISTORY AND MOTOCROSS HISTORY. GREAT FOR DISPLAY, GREAT FOR MANCAVE OR CLUB. GREAT TO WEAR TO ANY OLD SCHOOL MEETING.
These are the 1984 patent publication (2 pics included):
The upper body protector includes a semirigid integral upper body shield having a chest plate portion, a back plate portion and shoulder plate portions, adapted to conformably embrace the chest, back and shoulders, respectively. A pair of shoulder flaps are hingedly connected to the upper body shield so that the shoulder flaps are superposed over the shoulder portions, the shoulder flaps being movable laterally in an arcuate path between an uppermost position and a lowermost position. A shoulder cap or epaulet is hingedly connected to each shoulder flap.
Locking means is associated with the shoulder portions and the shoulder flaps for locking each shoulder flap in a fixed lowermost position so that the force of a downward impact on each shoulder flap is diffused, thereby reducing the force exercised on the wearer's shoulder. Also included is restraining means hingedly interconnecting the shoulder flaps to the shoulder portions for restraining the shoulder flaps and epaulets from pressing the wearer's shoulder when a shoulder flap is in the uppermost position as a result of a lateral impact. A method of constructing the same is also included.
