DE202008007593U1 - Protector worn on the human body, with several protective layers - Google Patents

Abstract

A protector (100) worn on the human body comprising a plurality of protective layers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), characterized in that a recess (6) in the region in which the body part to be protected projects in one the protective layers (2) is provided, so that a recess (7) is formed, which partially accommodates the body part to be protected and the protector (100) has a partial protective layer (4) whose size is adapted to the recess (6) is and which is arranged so that it at least partially compensates for the reduction of the thickness of the protector (100) caused by the recess (6).

Description

The The invention relates to a protector attached to the human body is worn, with several protective layers, the depending on the model on knees, elbows, backs and other body parts, and in particular Motorcyclist in case of a fall protects.

Such a protector is for example from the DE 9213124 U1 known.

Under a protective layer is intended in the context of this document a layer to be understood that has a function in reducing has the consequences of falls. This excludes, for example, therefore an existing textile inner layer, only the sweat receptacle or similar serves.

at Back protectors become the individual protective ones Layers mostly flat and mostly arched in joint protectors connected by sewing or / and gluing together.

The protective layers point to ventilation holes usually no recesses. To fulfill the protective function, for example, to dampen and distribute pressure, the protective material must have a certain hardness exhibit.

Of the Disadvantage of the known arrangements is that they either no good wearing comfort, since the material against the protected Body parts pushes or that they are elaborate are in production.

The Invention has set itself the task of creating a protector, the high protection function with good wearing comfort and low Has manufacturing costs.

These The object is achieved by the protector given in claim 1.

Of the Protector according to the invention has a recess in the area where the body part to be protected projects in one of the protective layers (this is not continuous), so that a depression forms, which partially absorbs the body part to be protected. Furthermore, the protector according to the invention comprises a not extending over the entire protector, (ie also not continuous), but partial protective Layer whose size is adapted to the recess is. The partial protective layer is arranged that it reduces the thickness caused by the recess of the protector compensated. Through the recess forms in the protector inside in the area of the projecting body part (eg, spine or joint center) a depression, which takes this partially. (With "protector inside" becomes in the context of this document the body in the wearing state facing side of the protector and with "innermost layer" the layer on this side). The protector inside In this way, the better the body part to adjust. The pressure of the protector becomes more uniform on the spine or joint center and on the distributed surrounding environment. The comfort is therefore crucial improved. Due to the partial layer is currently in the central Joint area or the spine required Protective effect of the protector achieved despite the recess. That I this layer does not extend over the entire protector, but their size to the size the recess is adjusted, becomes an unnecessary thickening avoided the entire protector. This has a positive effect on the Comfort on, because the protector is not unnecessary over the entire surface applies, is relatively lightweight and flexible.

Preferably the partial protective layer has the same shape as the recess is larger and closer as these on the protector outside. (With "protector outside" becomes in the context of this document the body in the wearing state opposite side of the protector called. With "utmost Layer "is the layer located on this side meant.) overlaps with directly superimposed arrangement the partial protective layer the recess in full. This will also in about existing manufacturing inaccuracies Ensures that the recess is completely detached from the partial protective layer is covered. By the partial protective layer closer than the recess the outer side of the protector is arranged and with its Supports edges on the edges of the recess, becomes the desired formation of depression on the protector inside favored.

In an embodiment are in addition to the protective Layer with recess and partial protective layer no further protective layers provided. At this corresponds to the minimum reduced embodiment the depth of the recess of the thickness of the total protective layer height of the protector. For certain parts of the body to be protected (and thus required indentation sizes) and for certain (among other things from the kind of the used Protective material resulting) required protective layer heights This has proved to be particularly advantageous.

In another embodiment, further protection is provided in addition to the protective layer with recess and the partial protective layer de layers provided. In particular, for aspired large overall heights of the protector and the application to body parts that require a rather small depression, this structure has proven to be particularly advantageous.

In A preferred embodiment is the recess having protective layer in the protector between provided protective layers and lies with one side directly on an innermost protective layer. As a result, the edges of the recess with respect to the User abge covers abge, which increases the comfort and the wear resistance is increased. On the other hand, the depression can be well formed because of this Purpose only a protective layer needs to be deformed.

In an embodiment with a continuous innermost protective layer exhibits this when not in use of the protector no recess on. Because the innermost protective layer is often very flexible, it can be when creating the Protector slightly depress, thereby forming the depression becomes. On a corresponding plastic shaping of the innermost Layer can be omitted in this case for cost reasons become.

In Another preferred embodiment is the partial protective layer in the protector between protective Layers provided and lies with one side immediately at an outermost Protective layer of the protector. In this way the partial protective layer is safe between the two protective layers integrated in the protector. Because the partial protective layer not quite outside attached, their edges provide no points of attack for forces that lead to their replacement could.

In an embodiment is between the through the recess interrupted protective layer and the outermost protective layer at least one more continuous protective layer provided. This layer is preferably closer arranged on the protector inside, as the partial protective Layer. As a result, the protective effect of the protector is improved. By placing the layer at this point, this must be neither to the depression, nor to the partial protective Adjust layer. It is therefore particularly good and Just insert it into the protector without the build up, in particular the formation of the depression, affecting.

In In one embodiment, the protective layers are arched connected to each other. This will be an improved Adaptation of the protector to the body part to be protected achieved, especially if it is not a back protector but, for example, a knee protector.

In In one embodiment, the protective layers are made of different or at least different hard material educated. As a result, the choice of material in terms of depending on Conception of the protector may be different Optimized functions of the individual protective layers become.

In In another embodiment, the layers comprise foam. This material has proven to be particularly suitable for reducing the Sturzfolgen proven.

The Invention will now be explained with reference to the drawings become. It shows schematically and partially:

1 a cross section through a protector according to the invention with two continuous protective layers;

2 a cross section through a protector according to the invention with three continuous protective layers;

3 a cross section through a protector according to the invention with two continuous protective layers, in which the protective layers are connected to each other curved;

4 a cross section through a protector according to the invention with three continuous protective layers, in which the protective layers are connected to each other curved;

5 a cross section through a protector according to the invention without continuous protective layers;

6 a cross section through a protector according to the invention without continuous protective layers, in which the protective layers are curved connected to each other.

In the embodiments shown as a whole with 100 designated protector according to the invention consist of the protective layers 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 made of foam. In the embodiments of the 1 to 4 assigns the layer 2 that are immediately behind the innermost layer 1 is (ie, at this rests), a recess 6 on. The innermost layer 1 bulges in this recess 6 into it, creating a depression 7 in the protector inside 8th forms. Between the innermost 1 and the outermost layer 5 is closer to the protector outside 9 as the recess 6 a partial layer 4 that are the same shape as the off savings 6 has and is slightly larger than this. The recess 6 is located in the area in which the central joint part (for example the patella) or the spine is located when using the protector. The partial layer 4 is in the same area, covers the recess 6 completely off and compensates in this way the through the recess 6 caused reduction in the thickness of the protector 100 , The outermost layer 5 forms in the area of the partial layer 4 an increase on the protector outside 9 ,

In the in 2 and 4 shown embodiments is another continuous layer 3 intended. This is located between the through the recess 6 interrupted layer 2 and the outermost layer 5 , She is closer to the protector inside 8th arranged as the partial layer 4 ,

The embodiments of the 5 and 6 show a construction variant reduced to the minimum, without continuous protective layers.

The 3 . 4 and 6 show in particular for joints such as knees and elbows suitable embodiments in which the individual layers are curved connected to each other.

The Layers are sewn in all embodiments and / or glued.
