Description

The invention relates to the use of a textile protective cover.

From the publication DE 44 28 238 A1 is a multi-surface, preferably double-faced textile material known, consisting of at least two textile fabrics and intervening spacer structures, preferably for upholstery and covering purposes. The spacer structures consist of spacer threads that extend between the textile surfaces and hold them at a defined distance. The spacer threads are monofilaments that have a required compressive strength. Thus, the spacer structures have a particularly advantageous combination of return behavior, textile surface grip, lower material content and improved recyclability.

From the other pamphlets DE 197 32 211 A1 and DE 197 35 060 A1 go further spacer knitted fabrics and their use. These spacer fabrics are constructed primarily of two panels, between which a spacer structure is arranged in the form of meshed with the panels connecting threads. The meshing of the fabric webs is formed approximately over the entire surface, the spacer warp being used for example as lining, interior linings, covers, curtains or filter material.

Furthermore, it is from the document DE 20 2006 002 470 U1 known to use a spacer knit as a protective cover, for example, for horses; from the pamphlets DE 10 2007 035 409 A1 and DE 10 2011 106 393 A1 Uses of spacer fabrics for padding orthopedic prostheses or wound dressing are known.

Object of the present invention is to provide a protective cover of a spacer knitted fabric for covering associations, which is to create a simple manner.

This object is achieved by the use of a protective cover having the features of independent patent claim 1. The subclaims relate to advantageous developments.

The invention comprises a textile protective cover with a spacer layer, wherein the spacer layer is formed as a spacer fabric with a first fabric surface, a second fabric surface and a pile thread disposed between the fabric surfaces. Furthermore, at least one of the goods surfaces on an elastic portion, with which a textile releasable closure means is connected, wherein the closure means is designed to be flexible.

The protective coating according to the invention can be applied for example as a coating on a textile dressing or a plaster cast. Alternatively, the textile protective cover can also be worn directly on the skin and serve to cushion already closed wounds. Furthermore, use may be considered as protection of joints or other parts of the body.

Thus, the protective cover according to the invention can be formed or formed as anatomically cut tube, which can be raised by its elasticity on the body part to be protected or optionally on the dressing itself and secured by the closure means.

The spacer layer has at least one pile thread, preferably a plurality of pile threads or pile yarns, wherein the first fabric surface configured as a textile cover layer and the second fabric surface likewise embodied as a textile cover layer are connected or fixed to one another via the spacer layer, in particular via the pile threads of the spacer layer are. The thickness of the spacer layer depends, among other things, on the thickness of the pile threads.

The material used can be a three-dimensional warp-knitted textile, which can be designed with or without an elastic yarn portion. An elastic contribution in the spacer layer can be made for example by an admixture of elastic fiber components such as elastane or Lycra in the range of 5% to 15%. The pile thread may also contain polyester or polyamide.

According to the invention, at least one of the goods surfaces has an elastic component. This measure has the effect that the spacer layer in conjunction with the various other textiles or other materials causes no wrinkling and tight or tight against the body.

The textile releasable closure means is connected to the spacer layer via one of the goods surfaces. Particularly suitable as an elastic Velcro material can be used as a material. The closure means is flexible and can thus follow the movements of the spacer layer. The textile protective coating exerts a uniform pressure over the entire contact area with the body part to be protected.

A particular advantage of the coating according to the invention is the wearing comfort and the material-based easy cleanability. It also prevents that used material of a wound formation, since the body sweat can be dissipated by the material. This keeps covered areas of skin dry. In addition, the textile protective cover serves as a padding for wounds or loaded joints. Very suitable are the protective coatings in the veterinary field. Even in animals, dressings or other body parts to be protected can be effectively and easily covered. Protective covers often disturb the animals less than traditional dressings. As a result, a corresponding acceptance of the treated animals is achieved.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the textile releasable closure means may be a Velcro strip of a hook-and-loop fastener. This is a Velcro to an almost arbitrarily often to be solved closure means. The hook and loop fastener tape bonded to the fabric surface of the spacer layer is typically made of woven chemical fiber strips having either flexible barbs or loops. With the respective counterpart, both pressed together result in a load-bearing velcro closure and equally a reversible quick release.

The woven Velcro straps are preferably made of polyamide, polyester and polyolefin fibers. In the hook bands, the hooks are incorporated during weaving or later. The respective Velcro strips connected to the fabric surface are flexible and can thus follow in particular the lateral movements of the spacer layer. Velcro tapes according to the invention can for example be sewn or laminated over the entire surface or only partially onto the spacer layer.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the textile releasable closure means may consist of an elastic, velcro-type strip material. This results in a surface in all parts and in at least one direction elastically klettfähige. The textile protective coating thus exerts a uniform pressure over the entire contact area with the body part to be protected. Use finds coated or uncoated velor material.

For material selection, the characteristic characteristics, such as the tensile shear strength, the tensile strength and the peel resistance are used to achieve a Velcro closure with optimally matched material pairings.

In an advantageous variant of the invention, the hook-and-loop fastener may have a flexible deflection eye. As a result, the coating on the body part to be protected can be shaped as a tube in the loosened state, which then builds up a uniform pressure via the deflection eye only when closing. Even a quick and easy correction with too tight or too loose fit of the protective cover is possible.

Advantageously, the Umlenköse consist of elastic material. As a result, the textile protective cover can also be adapted to curved parts of the body in the region of the deflection eye of the closure. Suitable materials include, for example, natural or synthetic rubber, rubber or latex.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the deflection eyelet can have elastically acting constrictions. These constrictions cause, equal to a joint, the deformability of the entire eyelet. Depending on the stiffness of the base material, more or fewer constrictions will be required to achieve the required elasticity in its entirety. As a base material then, for example, plastics with higher bending stiffness can be used.

Advantageously, the shape of the protective cover can be formed by means of a hook-and-loop fastener as a one-hand closure. Such single-handed fasteners can be realized in a simple manner by the Umlenkösen described above.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one of the goods areas may be at least partially covered with textiles, felting, nonwovens and / or leather. As a result, in particular the wearing comfort is improved directly on the skin and achieved a pleasing appearance.

Advantageously, at least partially antibacterial materials may be applied or incorporated. As a result, infections are effectively prevented or at least contained. In addition, healing-promoting medicines and all-natural essential oils in microencapsulated form can be incorporated into the composite material.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the textile protective cover may have a dressing aid. A donning aid may be a lightweight and skin-friendly strap or loop. The donning aid may also be removable in the form of a hook-and-loop fastener, a buckle fastener or any other suitable closure and may be applied only at the time the protective cover is applied.

Alternatively, advantageously, a dressing aid can also be designed as a bow open on one side. The open bracket may consist of several parallel arranged steel or plastic pins, which at one end to each other are firmly connected. At the opposite end of the stirrup, the ends of the stakes are open. On these pins loops or the like. the protective cover are pushed, whereby an easier application or shaping of the protective cover is made possible. The bow-like dressing aid is removed after the protective cover has been applied.

Advantageously, additional medical or orthopedic aids can be fastened with the aid of the closure means. A Velcro strip preferably covers the fabric surface only partially. However, if the Velcro strip is made sufficiently flat, then additional medical or orthopedic aids can be arranged on the Velcro strip connected to the product surface of the spacer layer by means of its own counterpart as another Velcro closure for the Velcro closure of the protective cover. This results in a particularly advantageous variability in use. In this way, for example, a fingerstall can be arranged and fixed as an additional aid for the protection of further limbs. In this case, in an advantageous variant of the invention, the fingerstall can likewise be realized using the textile spacing knitted fabric described here.

1 shows an example of a cross section of a part of a textile protective cover 1 with a spacer layer 2 and with a closure means 6 , which can find application in the invention. In the closure means 6 For example, it may be part of a first Velcro strip 61 act of elastic Velcro. Preferably, this is the loop band of a hook and loop fastener. The counterpart is then as Velcro with barbs in the 1 not shown suitable other location of the protective cover arranged.

The spacer layer 2 of the textile protective cover 1 is as a spacer fabric with a first fabric area 3 , a second commodity area 4 and one between the goods areas 3 . 4 arranged pile thread 5 executed. The first commodity area 3 and the second commodity area 4 are over the pile thread 5 connected together and fixed so elastic. The first commodity area 3 and the second commodity area 4 contain, for example, a share of about 10% of an elastane fiber, whereby both commodity areas 3 . 4 in the plane are well stretchable in different directions. The diagonal course of the pile thread 5 between the two commodity areas 3 , 4 allows - in addition to the already given by the addition of an elastane fiber elasticity of each of the two commodity areas 3 . 4 for themselves - also a shifting of these against each other. This results in the enormously high elasticity of the overall arrangement.

In such spacer textiles so is a mechanical stabilization in particular by the nature and number of pile threads 5 before, resulting in the desired bending elasticity. This is the case with the spacer layer according to the invention 2 due to the structural entirety possible to make a defined or adapted to the application shape.

2 schematically shows a view of a textile protective cover according to the invention 1 , This consists primarily of a cylindrical shaped spacer layer 2 and a Velcro closure 7 , consisting of a first Velcro tape 61 and a second Velcro tape 62 , The first Velcro tape 61 as a textile releasable closure agent 6 is with the first commodity area 3 the spacer layer 2 firmly connected. The second Velcro tape 62 is also on the first product area 3 arranged and completed as a counterpart the Velcro 7 , The areal extent of the first Velcro strip 61 is sufficiently large, so this as a variable contact surface for the second smaller Velcro 62 serves. So can the textile protective cover 1 be adapted well on a body part in diameter.

For deflecting the spacer layer 2 has the Velcro closure 7 a flexible Umlenköse 8th on. As a result, the coating on the body part to be protected can be shaped as a tubular cylinder in the loosened state, which is subsequently passed over the deflection eye 8th when closing a uniform pressure on the body surface exercises. By loosening and a new adjustment of the second Velcro tape 62 a simple correction is possible if the protective cover is too tight or too loose.

At both ends of the protective coating according to the invention 1 are dressing aids 9 attached in the form of slings. These serve primarily for easy adjustment of the coating before closing the hook and loop fastener 7 , Such Justagemittel can also be attached by means of a separate Velcro strip and removable only at the time of applying the protective cover.

In other words: In several places where the Umlenköse 8th must have elastic properties, the material thickness in the form of constrictions 81 reduced. These joints cause the deformability of the entire eyelet. As a base material then, for example, plastics with higher bending stiffness can be used.

On the inner contact side of the Umlenköse 8th are slip-resistant 82 arranged in the form of serrated elevations. This causes a tight fit of Umlenköse 8th in the axial direction of the cylindrical protective cover. As a result, the overall arrangement is stabilized and the wearing comfort increased even with axial forces in the applied state. Thus, the protective cover by means of a hook and loop fastener as a one-hand fastener is formed.

Several contra-spaced constrictions 81 in the form of indentations are here by a smaller material thickness compared to the other Umlenköse 8th recognizable for the formation of elastic regions. Also, the serrated elevations as anti-slip 82 are from the top on between the constrictions 81 located area.

5 shows an example of a cross section of a part of a textile protective cover 1 with a spacer layer 2 and with a closure means 6 , which can find application in the invention. In the closure means 6 For example, it may be part of a first Velcro strip 61 made of elastic Klettvelour act, which is the entire surface for connecting with the hook and loop barbs as a counterpart available.

6 schematically shows a view of a textile protective cover according to the invention 1 with deflection eyelet 8th , Visible is the first goods area 3 the spacer layer with a textile releasable closure means 6 , consisting of a first Velcro tape 61 and an elastic velcro velor as a second velcro strap 62 , The first Velcro tape 61 and the second Velcro tape 62 are at a suitable place flat on the first goods area 3 arranged.

For attaching and attaching the protective cover 1 a flexible Umlenköse incorporated in the material 8th on. As a result, the coating on the body part to be protected can be shaped as a tubular cylinder in the loosened state, which is subsequently passed over the deflection eye 8th when closing a uniform pressure on the body surface exercises. On the inner contact side of the Umlenköse 8th are again anti-slip 82 arranged in the form of serrated elevations. The lateral extent of the Umlenköse 8th may also be slightly less than the width of the first commodity area 3 , As a result, the overall arrangement is stabilized and the wearing comfort increased with axial forces.
