Elbow cop
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Modern usage, normally used by the Society for Creative Anachronism for the term couter, it is the portion of armour which covers the elbow joints, usually integral to a complete arm harness. As part of a complete armour that covers the whole arm, it is known as a cannon. The term knee cop is also used to refer to the article of armour that covers just the knee, the correct historical term for this is poleyn.
