  • body protection elements in suits, jackets and pants for motorcyclists are constituted by rigid shields or elements that are embedded within the item of clothing at the parts of the body that are most exposed to injuries or fractures (shoulders, knees, elbows) in order to absorb impacts and provide protection against them.
  • Each protective element generally comprises an outer shell made of rigid plastic material, which is coupled to a soft inner layer having a high impact absorption power.
  • Pocket-like elements are usually applied inside the item (in the case of shoulders and elbows), or suitable pockets are provided on the inside and/or outside of the item (in the case of knees or shins).
  • the leather of the item is preformed in the regions to be protected (shoulders, elbows, knees and shins) and then a shell of perforated plastic material is positioned, monolithically coupling the assembly by interposing a sandwiched foam injection.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide an item of protective clothing whose structure eliminates the drawbacks noted above in known types.
  • an object is to provide an item of protective clothing whose structure, in case of a fall, reduces considerably the risks of tearing of the leather or of the material of which it is made.
  • Another object is to provide an item of protective clothing that allows to replace any broken protective parts and thus restore their action.
  • Another object is to provide an item of protective clothing that can be ventilated.
  • an item of protective clothing having a structure that is characterized in that it comprises, at a body part to be protected, a support made of plastic material that is monolithically associated with the outside of the item, with at least one protective rigid shield arranged in a preset region of said support and means for mutually fixing said support and said at least one protective shield.
  • the mutual fixing of said support and said at least one protective shield is of the reversible type.
  • said support and said protective shield have through holes for ventilating the item of clothing.

  • Each hole 21 can be accessed by way of the presence of through slots 22 on the outer part of the pocket 19.
  • the protective shield 12 is arranged on the support 10 and is engaged interchangeably therewith, since it is provided with fixing means 13 that are complementary to the slider 18 and are constituted by mushroom-shaped pins, designated by the reference numeral 23.
  • the pins 23 have a head 23a that is suitable to pass through the portion 21a of the hole 21 and a stem 23b that is suitable to pass through the portion 21b.
  • Some of the shields 12 and respective supports 10 are provided with microperforations (and/or holes), respectively designated by the reference numerals 24 and 25, that are arranged correspondingly and allow the ventilation of the item 11; moreover, a waterproof and breathable membrane 26 can be arranged inside the shields 12 so as to protect the microperforations 24, in order to prevent the inside of the item 11 from getting wet in case of rain.
  • auxiliary shields 12a that are rigidly coupled by means of hinges 27 to the shields 12.
  • an item according to the invention in a second embodiment, has a structure that comprises, at the body part to be protected, a support 110 that is made of plastics and is monolithically associated with the outside of the item 111 made of leather and/or fabric and/or other material, at least one rigid protective shield 112 that is arranged in a preset region of the support 110, and means 113 for mutually fixing the support 110 and the corresponding protective shield 112.
  • a preformed padding 114 is arranged outside the item 111 on the region to be protected and is contained peripherally by perimetric edges 115 of the support 10.
  • the perimetric edges 115 are suitable to join the support 110 to the item 111, for example by means of stitched seams 116.
  • the padding 114 is suitably shaped internally so as to correspond to the body part to be protected, and can be made of shock-resistant material or of any other material that absorbs external impact energies.
  • the support 110 is contoured internally so as to form at least one seat 117 for the abutment and positioning of at least one protective shield 112, and the fixing means 113 are located in the seat 117; in this case, the means are constituted by bridge-like tabs 118 that protrude outward.
  • the protective shield 112 is arranged on the support 110 and is coupled interchangeably thereto because it is provided with fixing means 113 that are complementary to the tabs 118 and are constituted by through slots 122 that are suitable to be crossed by the tabs 118, so that the connecting element 118a arranged between the wings 118b protrudes externally and so that it is possible to straddle the connecting element with a C-shaped locking/release pin 123, whose insertion end 123a can be conveniently arrow-shaped in order to form wings 123b for retention against unwanted disengagements.
  • each shield 112 and each support 110 have microperforations (and/or holes), designated by the reference numerals 124 and 125, which are arranged correspondingly and allow the ventilation of the item 111; moreover, a waterproof and breathable membrane 126 can be arranged inside the shield 112 so as to protect the microperforations 124 in order to prevent the inside of the item 111 from getting wet in case of rain.
