Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protector element for orthopedic applications as well as sports clothing, in particular stiffening element for forming an overstretch protection for body parts, lined up with a chain members made of pressure-resistant protective material, which are each connected via a rotary connection with pivot pin and each other turn to stop surfaces, which at a relative Pivoting movement of the links in an overstretching position blocking each other.
  • Articulated protector elements which allow pivotal movement of the links in one direction, so that the protector element adapts to the movements of a respective body part, however, a pivoting element in the opposite direction, a stiffening element form, which prevent movements of the body part over a hyperextended position, find application for many purposes. For example, they can serve as orthopedic aids in various body joints as overstretch protection.
  • sportswear here also sports gloves, where such protector elements form as stiffening an overstretch protection of phalanges.
  • effective finger-overstretch protection is of great importance.
  • such protector elements may also be associated with the wrist, wherein the protector element may extend beyond the wrist to the forearm.
  • the rotational connections of the links are to be designed so that the links are held together even at high loads, that in particular the tensile stresses are dominated, which occur when reaching the overstretch position, when forces act, which seek to cause a pivoting movement beyond the overstretching addition.
  • a protector element of the type mentioned in the form of a stiffening strip is known, which is provided as overstretch protection for the phalanges in a goalkeeper glove.
  • the rotary joints on bearing pins which are integrally formed on the links and under Schnappverrastung in Lagerhöhlungen the respectively adjacent member are inserted.
  • the Schnappverrastung the bearing pin in the bearing cavities is insufficient at high loads and does not provide sufficient security against tearing of the rotary joints at higher loads.
  • a sports glove, in particular goalkeeper glove known with at least one of the back of the hand associated stiffening element having a plurality of pressure-resistant locking body, which are mounted in a running approximately along a finger longitudinal axis juxtaposition on a tensile carrier tape so that they are at least when in a stretched state carrier tape abut with abutting surface areas, wherein the stiffening element is covered by an outer layer of the back of the glove.
  • a blocking body are molded plastic body arranged along the longitudinal center line of the carrier tape surveys in the form of the carrier tape towards the open hollow bodies provided, which laterally join foot parts that form flat connection points for attachment to the carrier tape. Since in the known solution, the individual members forming blocking body are lined up in loose succession on the carrier tape, can not be completely ruled out that break off parts of the locking body especially when the highest loads occur or the carrier tape itself gives way.
  • the invention provides the task of creating a protector element, which is not only characterized by ease of rotation joints of the members, but also provides a high level of security against tearing of the rotary joints, even when occurring highest, when used as intended expected loads.
  • this object is achieved in a protector element of the type mentioned above in that the chain is lined up in outline T-shaped members with each central foot bar and end facultyen befindlichem header beam so that adjacent members are each in the opposite position to each other, and that the rotary joints in both end regions of the head bar at least every second link have a bearing bore for a pivot pin which extends parallel to the foot bar and connects neighboring links.
  • the arrangement may be made such that in each case a member followed by a member extending from the head bar pivot pin whose head bar contains the corresponding bearing bores.
  • the members are the same design and all provided in their head beams with through bearing bores in which engages the pivot pin as separate components.
  • the length of the foot bars preferably corresponds at least approximately to the width of the head beams measured in the same direction.
  • the chain formed from the links has substantially rectilinear side edges. It is understood that the dimensions, i. the lengths of the foot beams and the widths of the head beams can vary widely, i. from the formation of relatively narrow stiffening strips for finger overstretch protection in gloves to relatively wide-surface shapes when the protector element is used, for example, as orthopedic aid in larger joints or as a large-scale protector element against fall injuries to garments.
  • the abutment surfaces abutting each other upon reaching the overstretch position of the links to block pivotal movement in one direction beyond the overstretch position may be defined by planar surfaces on the sides of the footbars facing the adjacent links and adjacent by the end faces of the headbars
  • Form members provided planar partial surfaces may be formed.
  • the arrangement may be such that the members on that broadside, which faces a relevant body part in application of the protector element, have a slight concave curvature with respect to the axis related to the longitudinal direction of the chain.
  • a slightly curved shape results in an advantageous nestling of the protector element to be protected body parts, when these have a slightly curved outer surface, as is the case for example in the area of finger joints or leg joints.
  • Fig. 1 is a goalkeeper glove designated as a whole with 1.
  • Protective elements according to the invention in the form of stiffening strips each extend in pocket-like receptacles 3 on the back of the glove.
  • a length of such a stiffening strip is in Fig. 2 represented and designated as a whole with 5.
  • the stiffening strip 5 is a chain of series, each T-shaped members 7, which are each formed the same in the embodiment shown and injection-molded from a pressure-resistant plastic material. Further details of the shape of the links 7 are in the Fig. 5 to 8 shown.
  • each member 7 has a relatively wide head bar 9 with at its bottom subsequent central foot bar 11 which extends at right angles to the head bar 9.
  • the links 7 are strung together to form a chain in such a way that the ends of the head beams 9 respectively adjoin the sides of the foot bar 11 of the adjacent links.
  • the stiffening strip 5 is a chain of a toothed juxtaposition of links 7, in which the chain has edges on both sides in the outline have a straight course.
  • the members 7 at the assigned to the body part to be protected facing broad side 13 a slightly concave curvature and on the opposite broad side 15 a slightly convex curvature, each based on a curvature axis extending in the longitudinal direction.
  • Each head bar 9 is traversed by a continuous bearing bore 17, which is for receiving a respective pivot pin 19 (see Fig. 2 ) is provided, which are made of a steel material.
  • the Bearing holes 17 at the outlet end at the top of the head bar 9 each have an extension 21, in which a securing element at the respective end of the pivot pin 19 can be accommodated.
  • a securing element may be, for example, a widening of the possibly slotted end part of each pivot pin 19 for axial securing in the bearing bore 17.
  • each pivot pin 19 extends through the head bar 9 adjacent members 7. These lie in the chain together so that flat planar surfaces 23, each through the Side surfaces of the contemplatbalken 11 are formed on flat surfaces 25, see Fig. 3 to 5 , abut the respectively facing head bar 9. This system prevents a relative pivoting movement in a pivoting direction.
  • the respective identically formed members 7 are injection molded from a pressure-resistant plastic material.
  • all members 7 have a central, extending from the head bar 9 by the foot bar 11 continuously extending recess 29 which has an extension 31 in the region of the head bar 9, so that for the members 7, a reduced total volume and correspondingly reduced weight results.
