A wrist support (10) includes a base member (11) of a flexible material adapted to be formed into a tubular sleeve. A stay (30) is formed from a resilient material and includes a support member having first and second sides, a top and bottom and a plurality of slits wherein the support member provides support and the slits allow for additional flexibility. Further provided is a means for operatively connecting a stay proximate the base member. A loop member 17 is operatively connected to the base member 11 and mating member 13 is also operatively connected to the base member 11 at an end opposite the loop member. The mating member has a connecting element 13a operatively connected to a tab element 13b. The tab element 13b is wider than the length of the loop member 17 and has to be deformed to pass through the slot to the opening 17a and the loop member 17.

Wrist support and wrist support stay

Wrist support

A support stay for use with an article to be worn by a person has two durometers of hardness. The support stay includes a base member having a first hardness, the first hardness sufficient to provide a required rigidity for support. A gripping member is operatively connected to the base member and has attachment areas which extend beyond the ends of the base member. The gripping member has a second hardness which is softer than the first hardness. The gripping member, when attached to the inner surface of the article by attachment areas, provides a non-slip surface against the person wearing the article to keep the article in position.
