Definitions
- the invention relates to an ankle protector, in particular in connection with a fixed or detachable shin protector for sporting purposes, the shin protector consisting of a back-lined shell made of compact plastic material covering the region of the leg to be protected.
- An ankle protector of the generic type is known for example from DE 295 00 630 Ul. Protection for shins and ankles is required for various sports, such as football or hockey.
- a shin guard is disclosed that has a compact plastic shell that is backed with cushioning material. Ankle protection is firmly connected to the shin guard, which protects areas of the ankle that are at risk of impact.
- a combined shin and ankle protector is likewise known from DE 297 06 358 U1, it being provided there that the shin protector and the ankle protector can be detachably connected to one another and thus be separated from one another at any time. Otherwise it is also known from this utility model specification that a plastic shell backed with foam provides protection for the shin.
- the ankle protectors of the known type do not offer optimal protection for additional areas that are particularly at risk of impact, namely the instep and / or heel area.
- the invention is accordingly based on the object of further developing the ankle protector described at the outset in such a way that improved and optimized impact protection is ensured in other areas of this ankle protector, while at the same time providing good flexibility and durability of this ankle protector. Furthermore, it should be achieved that the ankle protector can adapt to the respective shape of the foot in the best possible way.
- the ankle protector is equipped with at least two or with a plurality of opposed areas in areas where there is a risk of impact, each of which has a cushion element.
- the areas at risk of impact are the instep and / or the heel area which, in addition to the ankle area, are to be particularly protected.
- a particularly good shock absorption effect is achieved if the areas which are set apart from one another are formed in strips.
- the instep area is particularly well protected when the offset areas are arranged essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the leg.
- there is optimal protection for the heel area if the offset areas are arranged essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the leg.
- any foamed plastics are suitable as foam.
- foamed polyurethane (PU) or foamed ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) is preferably used as the material for the cushion elements.
- the individual regions which are set apart from one another are formed by thermal welding.
- the thickness and hardness of the upholstery elements are also important:
- the cushion elements preferably have a thickness of 3 mm to 6 mm, in particular 4 mm.
- the Shore hardness (according to type A) is advantageously between 25 and 45, in particular 35.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically in three-dimensional view the front of a leg protected with a shin guard and with an ankle guard
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the rear view of the ankle protector according to FIG. 1,
- Fig. 3 shows a partial cross section through the ankle protector.
- the combined shin and ankle protector shown in Fig. 1 is suitable for various sports in which the players are exposed to an impact load on the foot area.
- a shin guard 2 is provided, the shell 4 of which is made of compact, i.e. hard, plastic material.
- the shell 4 is provided on the inside with a honeycomb-like stiffening material.
- the shell 4 is back-lined with a suitable cushioning material in order to ensure that the shell 4 lies softly against the leg 3.
- the shin guard 2 is fastened to the leg 3 by means of retaining straps (not shown), preferably with a Velcro fastener.
- the ankle protector 1 according to the invention is fixedly or detachably connected to the shin protector 2 (for example via Velcro fasteners).
- areas 5 which are offset from one another are used. These are upholstery strips arranged side by side, each separated from the other. This can be achieved in a simple manner in that the relevant areas are delimited from one another by thermal welding.
- the stepped areas 5 provided in the instep area 7 are arranged essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the leg 3.
- FIG. 3 outlines what the section through the instep area 7 (see FIG. 1) looks like:
- the surface of the ankle protector 1 is again formed by a fabric.
- the thickness of the pads 6 - in the direction perpendicular to the foot surface - is between 3 mm and 6 mm.
- the Shore hardness A is between 25 and 45.
- both the ankle protector 1 and the shin protector 2 come in particular foamed or non-foamed polyurethane, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyamide, polypropylene or the like. into consideration.
- ankle protector 1 With the ankle protector 1 according to the invention it is advantageously achieved that the instep or heel areas which are particularly at risk of impact next to the ankles are reliably protected against the effects of blows.
