Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protection device.
  • protection devices such as for example back shields, which are used in particular by motorcyclists, or shin guards used in different sports, in order to protect parts of the body that are particularly subject to violent impacts and/or collisions, have been marketed since a long time.
  • these protection devices are generally constituted by a substantially shell-shaped three-layer sandwich, in which the surface that is designed to be directed toward the portion of the body of the user to be protected is usually slightly concave.
  • These sandwiches generally have a base layer, which is designed to be directed toward the body of the user, and a covering layer, between which an impact absorption layer is interposed; in particular, the base layer and the covering layer are made of semirigid material, while the impact absorption layer is made of low-density polyethylene.
  • the semirigid nature of the covering layer and particularly of the base layer does not allow to adapt the protection device significantly to the anatomical shape of the region to be protected; accordingly, said protection device is very uncomfortable and unpleasant to wear.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a protection device that allows to eliminate or at least reduce drastically the drawbacks noted above in conventional devices.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a protection device that allows better impact absorption than the devices currently in use.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a protection device that is much more comfortable to wear than currently commercially available ones.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an accessory, particularly for sportswear, that can be inserted within jackets and suits, ensuring easy and quick fit and maximum freedom of movement for the user.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a protection device that is constructively very simple.
  • Another object is to provide an invention that has a low production cost, so as to be advantageous also from the economical standpoint.
  • a protection device that comprises a main body having an inner surface designed to be directed toward a portion of the user's body to be protected and is characterized in that said main body comprises an outer surface that is provided with a plurality of impact absorption protrusions that are spaced each other and yield inelastically.
  • a protection device is characterized in that said outer surface comprises an outer reinforcement enclosure for said plurality of protrusions in which a filler is accommodated.
  • a protection device generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a main body 2, which has an inner surface 2a that is designed to be directed toward a portion of the user's body to be protected.
  • the main body 2 has, according to the invention, an outer surface 2b that has a plurality of spaced impact absorption protrusions 3; in particular, said protrusions can be substantially shaped like parallelepipeds, as shown in the figures, or can have any other shape.
  • the plurality of impact absorption protrusions 3 are arranged in a regular pattern, so as to form for example a substantially matrix-like structure.
  • An important feature of the invention consists in that these impact absorption protrusions 3 yield inelastically, i.e., following a violent impact and the consequent generation of momentary forces that act on the outer surface of the device, the impact absorption protrusions 3 undergo a permanent deformation, thus dissipating such momentary forces.
  • the outer surface 2a is constituted, according to the invention, by an outer reinforcement enclosure 4 for impact absorption protrusions 3; a filler 3a is accommodated within the outer enclosure 4.
  • the main body 1 comprises a base 5 that forms the inner surface 2a, which is advantageously constituted by a plurality of projections 6 that are designed to abut against the portion of the user's body to be protected.
  • the projections 6 have a smaller transverse dimension than the impact absorption protrusions 3.
  • the filler 3a extends from the protrusions 3 toward the base 5 so as to form a supporting layer 7.
  • the filler 3a that constitutes the internal portion of the impact absorption protrusions 3 and the supporting layer 7 is generally thermoformed together with the outer enclosure 4, while the base 5 is fixed, for example by gluing, to the supporting layer 7.
  • This deformation is allowed by the fact that the impact absorption protrusions 3 are spaced each other and therefore there is a gap region that can be occupied by the impact absorption protrusions 3 that are undergoing deformation.
  • the base 5 allows the protection device 1, by way of the plurality of protrusions 6, to adapt in an optimum manner to the portion of the body to be protected and at the same time allows ventilation of the part of the body with which it is meant to make contact, to the benefit of comfort in use.
  • the outer enclosure 4 can be for example advantageously made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), crosslinked expanded polyolefin resin in the wide range of products (HD, LD, LLD), polypropylene (copolymer type), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene thermopolymers), and PA6.
  • EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
  • HD high density polyethylene
  • LD low density polyethylene
  • LLD low density polypropylene
  • ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene thermopolymers
  • PA6 PA6
  • materials that can be used as filler materials such as crosslinked expanded polyolefin resins of various densities, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), also used with different densities or also polyurethane, have been found to be suitable materials.
  • EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
  • the protection device according to the invention can have different shapes according to its use: for example, Figure 1 illustrates a protection device that is shaped so that it can constitute a back protection shield that can be detachably applied to jackets, heavy jackets and the like, particularly for motorcycling.
  • Figure 3 instead illustrates a protection device that is shaped like a shin guard, but nothing prevents use of the inventive concept to produce protective gear of any shape and suitable for the most disparate requirements; it is therefore possible to obtain protective gear for the chest region or also protective gear suitable for snowboarding.
  • the protrusions can have a parallelepipedal shape, as shown, but nothing prevents them from being constituted by cylinders that have a circular base, a hexagonal base, et cetera.
  • the materials and the dimensions may be various according to requirements.
