Abstract
A protective system for playing golf or other sports of similar characteristics, which develops an assembly comprising two units, one for each leg, adapting below the knee and extending to the instep, covering the malleolous, each consisting of two articulated parts of different lengths, the upper one of which is attached to the leg using devices such as one or more elastic bands, velcro, zips, tapes, conventional tying or a combination thereof while, for the same purposes, the lower portion may have a continuous band, side bands with fastening devices or counterweights on each side.
Description
A PROTECTIVE SYSTEM FOR PLAYING GOLF
DESCRIPTION
S
Obiect of the lnvention This invention refers to a protective system for playing golf. More specifically, it refers to a system which develops protective elements which may be applied to the I 0 leg of the trousers worn by the player of this sport (or, as the case may be, of sports derived from it, such as polo, cricket or the like) and running from the knee to the instep, thus protecting not just the player's shin but also the entire length of both sides given that the form of these elements encloses the protected area as far as the back of the trousers. Said elements incorporate releasable attachment devices to ensure that I s they remain in the correct position: such devices may be standard or of any subsequently developed type. Furthermore, the elements provided by the system of the invention also make it possible for it to be incorporated into a pair of trousers during manufacture, to form an integral part.
?0 The field of application of the system in the invention obviously comes within the industry of the manufacture of sports apparel and articles and, in particular, those for golf and for related sports.
Background of the Invention It is well-known that, in golf, players are permanently exposed to some adverse et~'ects of having to walk on grass, involving the soiling of the bottom or leg of their trousers. The part affected is continuously damaged, representing an additional cost in terms of the frequent cleaning the garment reduires. In fact, until now, it has been 0 unavoidable, since a golf course must be continuously watered so that, when walking on the grass, the dampness it retains is what stains and damages the area of the trousers referred to above.
' 3 There are also other situations where this also occurs, both at the moment of striking the ball in each movement and when the ball falls into a sand trap, with the result that the player's trouser bottom or leg is in permanent contact with the sand.
S
'The existence is known of a so-called "water suit" which could be used to - avoid the problems referred to above. However, such suits have other additional drawbacks, whether in terms of the discomfort involved in their use or of the fact that they are not in line with fashions and/or the clothing habitually used in playing golf.
Furthermore, they provide no protection from impacts.
These problems originate in the fact that, throughout a golf course, where there is a number of holes, where the ball is hit several times at each hole (at least 3 to 5 times) and is constantly in contact with the grass or sand, there is a state of permanent I 5 exposure to such effects with the increased possibility of staining the bottom area of the trousers: thus, if the player must walk a distance of 6 - 8 kms, in a time of 4 - 6 hours, the textile material of which trousers are made will be continuously exposed to the double effect of damp and dry, thus greatly complicating subsequently cleaning of stains, which penetrate the fabric and become more difficult to remove.
?0 A Summary of the Invention The main purpose of this invention is to develop a system to overcome the practical drawbacks in the present art, mentioned above.
'? S
In particular, the system in the invention proposes the creation of suitably shaped elements which, when used on the bottom of the legs, will provide an effective safeguard or protection for the part affected, particularly the area of the leg between the knee and the instep (or footwear) and including the ankle, such elements being easy s 0 to put on and take off at any time, and providing an accessory for the usual dress used in such sports.
More specifically, the protective element of the invention comprises three parts, two being rigid or fixed and the third a joint between them: said third element (or joint) is positioned together with the user's ankle so that the other two fixed or rigid parts are in turn situated in relation to the lower part of the leg and the other with the instep or first part of the foot, thereby providing cover for the shin, calf muscle, the lower left and right shin and the front and inside of the instep.
In particular, the lower fixed part runs from the instep, as described, from the I 0 union of the inside and outside malleolus of the ankle on each leg, like a bib, protecting those frontal and lower parts of the instep and closing toward the Achilles tendon.
These parts are designed in this manner because this is the normal point of impacting or striking from water, grass, sand or any other element making up a golf I _5 course. In addition, because of the position of the middle part, providing the joint between the other two rigid parts, it will protect that area and prevent such elements on a golf course from entering between the trousers and the leg or between the shoe and sock, yet not involving any obstacle to the user's absolute freedom of movement.
20 It must also be emphasised that said protection or safeguard can be put on and taken ot~' extremely easily and can even be simply cleaned with water or the like, after playing, thus leaving it completely clean and in good conditions for re-use as reduired.
In addition, because in such sports there is a person acting as monitor, an activity which cannot be carried on permanently throughout the day but rather just at certain 25 times, clearly the ease of cleaning and of fitting and removing the protective element in the invention means that it can be at all times clean and ready for the next class, and does not need to remain permanently on the trousers the rest of the time. This element therefore oi-~ers some totally versatile features which, when it is not attached to the trousers, enable it even to be stored in the trouser pocket or in the golf bag.
;0 It is an advantage of the invention that it can be attached to the bottom of the trousers in many different ways, using standard resources readily available on the market, such as hook-and-eye, rubber bands, oelcr~o type textiles, conventional tying devices, tapes or, if applicable, adhesives of the type used on opening fasteners already 5 on the market, or any other like device providing suitable attachments according to their use.
In addition, the fixed or rigid parts of the protective element of the invention may be made with standard materials, forming layers, preferably three in number. The tirst such layer might use materials such as polyurethane, polyvinyl, polyester or, in general, any other of the so-called unreinforced and water-proof plastics. The second such layer should preferably be made of a textile material such as gabardine, nylon or some substitute therefor, with a predetermined resistance to tearing. The last said layer, which contains the devices for attachment to the trousers, may be incorporated I 5 into the second, or it may have the structure of an independent layer, of characteristics similar to said second layer.
For its part, the first or outside layer will have a finish in suitable colour and shape to provide an external appearance appropriate to this sport. It may be composed ?0 of a fibreglass reinforced polyester, with resistance to tearing of up to S00 kg/cm, which would provide a very lightweight, high-strength, virtually tear-proof item.
In addition, such material is highly positive in its reaction to impacts since it does not break completely and does not lose shape until it shears, thereby retaining its 5 form and reducing or damping the effects of the blow by up to 60%. This is clearly a great additional benefit, given the elements and instruments used in this sport.
When the protective element is incorporated on to the trousers, the connection between them provides the specific utility of protecting and safeguarding the trousers ~0 from water, mud, sand, impacts, etc. The trousers, which are habitual in this sport, must have an attachment system on their seams or on the antero-frontal part of the °
trouser leg, to enable the second part to drop over the shoe, with a counterweight to hold it in place on the front of the shin and under the malleolous.
A Brief Description of the Drawings S
Other features and benefits of the invention will become clear in the detailed description following of a preferential embodiment, given by way of illustration and without limitation, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
Figure I , the only figure, shows various alternative designs for the protective system developed in this invention.
A Description of the Preferential Embodiment The detailed description of the system put forward in the invention takes account of the representation given in the single Figure of the drawings, corresponding to a number of alternative designs, in terms both of the actual structure of the protective element and of the means used to secure it to the trouser leg.
Thus, according to said Figure and in a first design, it is seen that the element developed in the invention is formed by two portions (L, 2) of different lengths, of a half tube shape to better adapt to the areas to be protected, so that they extend not just over the front of the leg and the instep but also over the sides. Clearly, portion ( 1 ) of the protective device is intended to protect the leg, while portion (2) is designed to be placed over the instep, so that the two portions form a single whole, connected by their joint area. For 2 5 attachment, the upper element ( 1 ) has at least two tapes (3), preferably elastic, each of which has a clasp near its free end to enable it to be attached to and removed from its opposite strip. The lower structure (2) has a continuous elastic band (4) enabling it to be attached to the user's foot, over the area of the instep.
0 In the second alternative design, the protective element is in two suitably articulated portions ( I 0, 11 ) of different lengths. The upper portion ( 10), appropriately shaped, has a lengthwise opening along the back, close to whose edges there are strips ( 12) facing each other of a material such as mlcro, allowing them to be closed and held by contact under light pressure, and for the two edges to be pulled open. The lower portion ( 1 1 ) has, as in the previous alternative, a continuous elastic band ( 13 ) attached S to the back, and which can adapt to the area of the foot to which it is to be attached.
The next design alternative once more reveals two portions (20, 21 ) in a half-tube shape, of different lengths, the upper one of which (20) has tapes (22) emerging ti-om each side, each which a hook and eye (not referenced) close to the free end. This element (20) is attached to the user's leg with the tapes, which are put in place and attached with their hooks and eyes. As in the previous cases, the lower portion (21 ) has a continuous elastic band (23) to allow that portion to be fixed to the user's foot.
In a further design, the protective element developed by this system has two 1 s articulated portions (30, 31 ) of different lengths, of which the upper portion (30) can adapt completely to the user's leg, being open along its back, with a zip (32) running right along it. This zip is opened and closed to allow this portion to be secured to and removed from the user's leg. In that case, the lower portion (31 ) may include two attachment tapes (33) each secured to the longitudinal edge of either side and each with its hook and eye (not referenced) close to its free end. These hooks and eyes can be done up and undone with the opposite tape to allow the unit to be placed on and removed from the user's leg.
Finally, the design alternative shown in the last part of the drawing comprises 2 _5 two articulated portions (40 41 ) of different lengths: unlike the others, portion (40) has an area of flexible material at its upper opening, such as rubber, elastic, etc., to allow it to adapt to the user's leg, particularly below the knee: this portion (40) may, optionally, have straightener elements (42) such as bands, stays, etc., running lengthwise, while the second portion, constructed like a bib, has counterweights (43 ) ~0 on each side to keep it in position over the user's instep.
Clearly, the protective device described may be designed to be attached permanently to the leg of the garment, i. e. it may be incorporated into the garment, joined to the seams of trousers, overalls or any other article of clothing.
S It is also clearly seen that the description has been given of one of two units to be used by the player (one on each leg). The features of such other are identical to those described.
It is not felt necessary to extend the content of this description in order for a I 0 specialist in the field to grasp its scope and the benefits arising from the invention, and to develop it and put it into practice.
The invention must nonetheless be understood to have been described in terms of a preferential embodiment and so may be the subject of modifications, particularly in I 5 terms of shape, size and/or the materials of which it is made, provided that this does not involve any alteration to its fundamentals.
