Resilient pad composite having floating reinforcing structure

1. A composite pad structure, comprising a substrate bonded to a resilient material assembly comprising

a plurality of discrete, spaced-apart, resilient elements, having opposing sides cut from a sheet of resilient material having opposing sides, which are at least partially surrounded by

at least one removable reinforcing structure having holes, wherein the holes in the reinforcing structure fit around selected resilient elements, and wherein the reinforcing structure is not bonded or attached to any substrate.

2. The composite pad structure according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing structure comprises a lattice of reinforcing material.

3. The composite pad structure according to claim 2 , wherein the lattice of reinforcing material engages all of the resilient elements.

4. The composite pad structure according to claim 2 , wherein the lattice of reinforcing material engages some of the resilient elements.

5. The composite pad structure according to claim 2 , wherein at least one lattice of reinforcing material engages all of the resilient elements, and additional lattice of reinforcing material engages some of the resilient elements.

6. The composite pad according to claim 1 , wherein a second substrate is bonded on opposite side of the resilient elements.

7. The composite pad according to claim 1 , wherein the resilient elements engaged to the reinforcing structure is positioned between a first and second substrates.

8. A support comprising the composite according to claim 1 .

9. The support according to claim 8 , which is an athletic garment, footwear, bag, backpack, sack, seating pads, or athletic equipment.

10. An athletic safety wear, comprising the composite according to claim 1 .

11. The composite pad structure according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing structure is free to move vertically or horizontally while engaged to the resilient elements.
