Definitions

  • This invention relates to a leg guard comprising a central portion for covering, the leg part between instep and knee joint, a first portion non-detachably attached to one end of the central portion for covering the ankle joint and a second portion for protecting the knee joint.
  • leg guards of this type are used among other things for goal keepers in the field hockey sport.
  • the second portion is attached to the other end of the central portion. It has been found that when practising this sport on artificial turf, rapid wear of the first portion of the leg guards for covering the ankle joint will occur. This has the drawback that even if only the first portion of one leg guard is worn out, a new set has to be purchased.
  • a leg guard according to the present invention is characterized in that to the other end of the central portion there is also non-detachably attached another first portion for covering the ankle joint and the second portion is alternatively detachably attachable to both first portions for protecting the ankle joint.
  • Fig. 1 shows a known leg guard whose first portion 1 for covering the ankle joint and second portion 2 for covering the knee joint are attached non-detachably to the ends of the central portion 3 for covering the leg between instep and knee joint. Straps for attachment of the leg guard are shown at 4,5,6,7.
  • Fig. 2 shows a portion of a leg guard according to the present invention, in which identical first portions 8, 9 for covering the ankle joint are attached non-detachably to the central portion 10 for covering the leg between instep and knee joint. At 11,12,13 and 14, openings for the passage of a strap are shown.
  • Fig. 3 shows the second portion 17 for covering the knee joint of the leg guard according to the present invention with a strap 20 passed through openings 18, 19 and a strap 21 attached thereto.
  • This second portion 17 can be fitted over the first portions 8, 9 of the leg guard and be attached by means of strap 20 via openings 11, 12 or 13, 14 and strap 21 via holes 15 or 16.
  • the leg guard can be made suitable for re-use by transferring the second portion 17 to the first portion 9.
  • a pad is attached to the inside along one side of the central portion, which pad is adapted to rest against the outside of the leg, it will be necessary, after displacement of the second portion 17 in the above described manner, to wear the leg guard first worn e.g. on the left leg subsequently on the right leg.
