Definitions

  • the invention relates to a knee or elbow pad, in particular for sports, for example for inline skaters, or for use as occupational safety (as so-called "workware"), for example for floor or Tiler.
  • Movement sports are growing in popularity, but bring the risk of serious injury from impact or falls. There is a high risk of injury to the knee joint, as this is one Damage, possibly even breakage of the kneecap.
  • the elbow joint is also at risk because the end of the joint Elle (UIna) can be damaged if the load is too high.
  • knee pads In order to reduce the risk of injury in some movement sports, especially with ice hockey and inline skating, usual, at least Wear knee pads. These usually consist of a padded one Plastic shell on the knee, covering the kneecap centrally, with With the help of appropriate fastening straps is fixed. Due to the Curvature of the consistently evenly padded plastic shell results a more or less precise fit of the knee pads on the knee joint. Only the protruding part of the knee joint in the area of the kneecap as well as the recessed knee bend on the opposite side ensure a rough positioning. There is an impact (Collision, for example with other people or a fall), so distributed the knee pads the impact forces on a larger area, what reduces the risk of injury.
  • collision for example with other people or a fall
  • This enlarged area covers however, generally also the kneecap, so that in the event of a stronger impact it continues there is a risk of knee injury, especially damage the inside of the patella made of cartilage.
  • Knee pads are also used in various artisanal or manual Activities carried out by the craftsman or worker concerned. For example, floorers, pavers and tilers use regularly Knee pads to keep your knees from becoming excessive during your kneeling activity To protect pressure load. Despite that through conventional knee pads given protection it comes with the kneeling activities executives often complaints, such as bursitis. An investigation of this problem by the inventor revealed that the complaints were often due to under-fitting of the knee pads are due.
  • the invention has for its object a knee or elbow pads of the type mentioned in the introduction, the increased safety from injury offers or the appearance of complaints with the carrier counteracts the protector.
  • This task is solved in that the protective shell with two lateral Contact areas for fixation on the femoral condyles or epicondyles is trained.
  • the femoral condyles or epicondyles are lateral projections on the joint side End of the femur or humerus, the form the basically roller-like part of the respective hinge joint and a half-shell-like other joint part opposite.
  • the condyles are essentially immediately under the skin without ligaments or muscles in between, the condyles are very suitable good for fixing the knee or elbow pads.
  • the protector keeps his position also in the practice of sports or at work and in the event greater loads, for example in the event of an impact. He can do his Develop the protective function optimally.
  • Another major advantage lies in the fact that the sport or the respective activity does not go through protectors sliding around is impaired. After all, it's comfort significantly increased because the main fixation of the protector only on one of the two joint parts, so that the joint movement is only marginally impaired.
  • the protective shell with a central contact area on the side of the two lateral contact areas is formed. This gives you one Three-point support, which is generally independent of individual joint shapes leads to a reliable fixation of the protector on the joint. This also promotes comfort, since the only selective support that Removal of perspiration moisture in the remaining area is essential promotes.
  • the protective shell with a primary impact zone is formed in the area of the tibia head or the ulna head. This measure ensures that the impact forces are in an area arise in which injuries to the joint are essentially ruled out are.
  • the tibia head and the ulna head are comparatively stable Body Parts.
  • the primary impact zone distributes the impact force on a larger, several centimeters area of the Tibial head or ulnar head (possibly starting at a centimeter distance from the actual end of the bone), so that even large impact forces are free of injuries can be transferred. This also applies in the event that the Plastic shell of the protector is not absolutely rigid, but elastic and / or plastically flexible at least in the event of greater impact forces.
  • the primary impact zone be preferred by one essentially biconvex elevation is formed.
  • the survey is sufficiently stable in shape even with a relatively low stiffness of the plastic shell.
  • the protector comes with a small shell thickness of the plastic shell from what reduces its weight and thus the wearing comfort further elevated.
  • the elevation is laterally offset, preferably laterally. Through this side Offset is obtained in the event of an impact on the ground Torque so that the inline skater can straighten up in many cases and sliding away on one side of the body with increased risk of injury is avoided.
  • a further development of the invention is characterized by a secondary one Impact zone in the area of the central investment area.
  • Secondary Impact zone is understood here to be an impact zone which, in the case of a Fall does not come into contact with the ground until the primary impact zone has previously come into contact with the ground. This is generally because of this achieved that the secondary impact zone is comparatively less strong protrudes like the primary impact zone.
  • the primary impact zone hits first the ground, making the first impact on a less vulnerable Area of the joint is transmitted. Because the person initially continues in Direction of travel slips, the corresponding frictional force on the Protector acting torque with the inevitable consequence that the secondary impact zone comes into contact with the ground and thereby prevents the protector from turning further. You get a stable one Protection of the protector on the ground even at high speeds Inline skaters falling.
  • the protective shell be a padded hard plastic shell having.
  • the hard plastic shell provides the necessary mechanical stability as well as abrasion resistance in the event of impact during full operation on a rough surface.
  • the padding ensures comfort and Force distribution on impact.
  • a further development of the invention is characterized by ventilation openings in the hard plastic shell. Improve the ventilation openings the exchange of air even with strong perspiration.
  • the preferred deposit with a metal grille prevents at least with larger openings damage to the underlying cushion with appropriate Reduction of the damping function. There is also an appealing Exterior.
  • the protector For simple and stable attachment of the protector to the joint serves at least one fastening strap encompassing the legs, preferably with Velcro fastener. Due to the fixation of the invention Protector on one joint side over the two lateral contact areas and in many cases a single fastening strap is sufficient for the central contact area. However, it is also the use of two fastening straps conceivable.
  • the knee protector according to the invention is designated by 10 in the figures. It consists of a hard plastic shell 12 with a thickness of approx. 1 mm, a base cushion layer 14 protruding from the edge of the shell 12 two side cushion elements 16 and a central cushion element 18 in the area of the upper edge of the shell 12 in FIG. 1 and a strap fastening device from two fastening straps 20, 22. Like that 5 and 6 shows, the two can Fastening tapes 20 and 22, each with one end directly on the Upholstery layer 14 may be attached.
  • a knee protector with only one Fastening tape can be used.
  • This version is indicated in Fig. 1, namely through crosses, the elimination of the upper fastening tape 22 symbolize.
  • the upper fastening band 22 can therefore be omitted because the inventive one Knee pads 10 primarily on one of the two joint parts, namely the joint-side end of the femur 36 is and the fastening tape 22 only has to ensure that the Knee pads 10 is pressed on the thigh bones.
  • Fig. 2 The type of definition is symbolized in Fig. 2.
  • the End face 34 is formed on the so-called condyles 38, which by forward and laterally projecting projections at the lower end of the Femur 36 are formed.
  • These condyles are supported the knee protector over the two side cushion elements already mentioned 16, to thereby protect the knee protector 10 on the thigh bone to fix. This is possible because the condyles 16 are immediate lie under the skin without the interposition of tendons or muscle strands.
  • the central cushion element 18 also mentioned above, is supported centrally above the actual knee, d. H. in the area between the two side cushion elements 16.
  • the central cushion element 18 is thus on the upper edge of the side cushion elements 16 and above the kneecap 40.
  • a primary impact zone 42 (support zone) is also hatched in FIG. 2. indicated, which is located in the region of the tibia head 28.
  • the actual impact takes place, d. H. those that occur during a fall or a collision Forces are passed on by the knee protector 10 in this area to be taken up by the particularly stable tibial head 28
  • Hard plastic shell 12 formed with a biconvex elevation 44, whose outline is indicated in Fig. 6. This elevation 44 is therefore located in the area of the Tiber head, d. H. sufficiently far below the kneecap 40, so there is a risk of injury to the cartilage Kneecap 40 is greatly reduced on impact.
  • the elevation 44 projects so far that, in the event of a fall, it becomes first comes into contact with the substrate 46. At least the initial one Impact force (arrow F) is practically exclusively in the tibia head 28 initiated.
  • the training of the schooner with elevation 44 is also for the use of the schooner as a so-called "workware", for example as an occupational safety device for a kneeling activity to derive the occurring Pressure forces, advantageous.
  • the elevation 44 forming the primary impact zone can, as in FIG. 4 is shown, laterally offset from a central longitudinal plane, so accordingly, the impact impact acts a little sideways and a Torque (arrow M in Fig. 4) gives the knee around the point of impact tries to swing around to the side away from the impact side. Is the projection 44 on a lateral, i.e.. H. from the middle of the body away position, so there is a to erect the inline skater trying moment. This affects the dangerous tendency to a side position of the fallen inline skater.
  • the hard plastic shell is used to improve ventilation and thus comfort 14 provided with a plurality of ventilation openings 60 which the air exchange between body and environment through the air-permeable Allow base cushion layer 14.
  • a plurality of ventilation openings 60 which the air exchange between body and environment through the air-permeable Allow base cushion layer 14.
  • the knee slide can have the ventilation opening 60 dimensions in the centimeter range to have.
  • this opening 60 is preferred deposited with a metal grid 62. This also enters appealing appearance.
  • the hard plastic shell 12 can also be used in FIG. 6 recognizable ribs 66 may be formed.
  • an elbow protector 110 is shown schematically with in principle same structure and same function as that described above Knee pads 10.
  • the position is only fixed on one of the two joint parts, namely here on the humerus 136.
  • the elbow protector 110 is attached to the fixed two condyles 138 of the humerus 136.
  • the hatched primary impact zone 142 again lies in the area of the ulna head 128, d. H. of the joint end of the elbow bone 130. Because the extreme end of the ulna head 128 depending on the angle of the elbow is more or less exposed and is therefore sensitive to injury the primary impact area 142 slightly (1 to 2 cm) away from it (in FIG. 7 down).
  • the structure of the elbow protector 110 corresponds to that of the Knee pads 10, d. H. it consists of a padded hard plastic shell, which with one or two fastening straps on the upper arm or also to be fixed on the forearm.
