Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stiffening device for a glove, in particular a goalkeeper glove.
  • a human hand includes numerous finger joints. A glove pulled over this hand covers these finger joints. Therefore, the glove must be designed so that it limits the mobility of the joints as little as possible.
  • the finger joints of the hand starting from an extended state of the fingers, allow only a forward movement in the direction of the inside of the hand.
  • the finger joints limit the movement of the fingers, a backward movement is naturally only possible up to the extended state of the fingers. If this limitation of the backward movement is overcome by force, i. If the fingers are overstretched, a finger joint can be injured.
  • a glove therefore has to fulfill several tasks.
  • the goalkeeper glove should not interfere with the safety of catching or even improve, whereas he should protect the finger and wrist joints from occurring during ball contact forces.
  • gloves in particular goalkeeper gloves, motorcycle gloves, ski gloves and work gloves, are known, which are provided on the upper side or on the outside with a stiffener, which allows the natural movement of the fingers, but largely prevented a backward movement beyond the natural limit.
  • the glove disclosed here has on a glove back at least in certain surface areas on a tensile, but flexible inner material layer and one of the longitudinally juxtaposed, pressure-resistant elements, preferably integrally formed outer material layer.
  • the elements of the outer layer of material are set with the formation of gaps on the inner material layer such that they abut each other shortly before the extended position of the glove.
  • the glove described therein comprises support elements which have a plurality of prefabricated members which are hinged together, in particular by a tension member, for example a band, and which have locking surfaces on the side surfaces facing each other in the support element.
  • a tension member for example a band
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a simpler and cheaper to produce stiffening device for a glove, in particular a goalkeeper glove specify.
  • stiffening device according to the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments, developments and applications of the stiffening device are specified in the dependent of claim 1 claims.
  • Forward movement is a bending movement of the arrangement of the first elements, in which the curvature of the arrangement of first elements increases as a rule.
  • the forward movement of the arrangement of first elements corresponds to the bending movement of the fingers, for example when forming a fist.
  • the backward movement is a bending movement of the arrangement of first elements in the reverse direction for forward movement, i. the curvature of the arrangement of first elements usually decreases. In the case of use in a finger back of a glove, the backward movement corresponds to the stretching movement of the fingers.
  • the advantage achieved by the invention include, inter alia, that the stiffening device is simple and thus inexpensive to produce.
  • the advantage lies in using in a glove, in particular, that the overstretching of the fingers by excessive force counteracting abutment surfaces which are formed on the second elements.
  • the flexibility of the stiffening device can be ensured solely by the arrangement of first elements.
  • the second elements can therefore consist of hard material, which can form particularly firm and pressure-stable stop surfaces and thus an extremely stable overstretch resistance.
  • the abutting stop surfaces thus produce an effective barrier against further backward movement. In this way, an overstretching of the hand or the finger is effectively prevented even with considerable force.
  • the flexibility of the arrangement of the first elements of the stiffening device when used in a glove allows an almost unhindered natural movement of the hand or fingers.
  • the stiffening device easily follows the bending of the fingers in a fist of the hand.
  • At least two abutment surfaces of adjacent first elements touch at least partially and thus counteract a further backward movement.
  • the advantage of using it in a glove is now additionally that the overstretching of the fingers by excessive force counteract two different groups of abutting and thus prevent further movement stop surfaces: First, the stop surfaces within the arrangement of the first elements, ie the stop surfaces adjacent first elements, on the other hand, the abutment surfaces of the second elements.
  • the plurality of abutting stop surfaces thus produces a particularly effective barrier action against further backward movement and thus prevents overstretching of the hand or the finger even with considerable force.
  • At least two stop surfaces are formed between a first element and a second element, between which in the bent state, a gap is formed and in the extended state at least partially touching each other and thus a further backward movement counteract.
  • the second embodiment also has the advantage that, as in the first embodiment, two different groups of stop surfaces counteract the overstretching of the fingers by excessive force. These are on the one hand again the abutment surfaces of the second elements, which are pressed against each other in the stretched state.
  • an additional stop surface group now adds wherein each of a stop surface of a first element cooperates with a stop surface of a second element.
  • This second embodiment is therefore a particularly advantageous and accordingly preferred embodiment of the stiffening device according to the invention.
  • An expedient development of the second embodiment provides that the second element is at least partially disposed in the intermediate space between adjacent first elements. Thereby, the abutment surface formation between the first and second members according to the second embodiment is realized particularly easily.
  • this is corresponding to the first element via the first stop surface and the second stop surface second element arranged on a first element adjacent to the first element, in particular fixed, is.
  • one of the first abutment surface and / or second abutment surface facing away from the second element at least partially abut against a side surface of the first element, namely permanently, ie both in the extended and in the bent state of the arrangement of first elements.
  • At least one first stop surface lies with at least one third stop face substantially in a common plane and / or at least one second stop face lies with at least one fourth stop face substantially in a common plane. This preferably applies to all first and / or second stop surfaces.

  • the third and fourth stop surfaces do not represent a simple continuation of the first and second stop surfaces.
  • the third and fourth abutment surfaces do not directly adjoin the first and second abutment surfaces. Rather, the third and fourth stop surfaces define their own, different from the first and second stop surfaces group of stop surfaces. If the abutment surfaces are planar and thus each define a stop plane, this means that the third and fourth abutment surfaces are not in the abutment planes defined by the first and second abutment surfaces.
  • At least two of the stop surfaces are substantially perpendicular to a bending plane defined by the forward and backward movement aligned.

  • the dimensions of the intermediate space 32 and the widening 36 are matched to one another in such a way that the second side surface 31 of the first elements 3a,..., 3e and their respective side surface of the widening form a stop surface pair 8, comprising a first stop surface 9, formed by the second side surface 31 of the first elements 3a, ..., 3e, and a second abutment surface 10 formed by the side surface of the broadening 36 of the second elements 4a, ..., 4e facing the first abutment surface 9.
  • the stop surface pair 8 is thus not formed as in the first embodiment of the stiffening device 2 according to FIG 1 and FIG 2 alone surfaces of the first elements 3a, ..., 3e, but the stop surface pair includes only one surface of a first element 3a, .. ., 3e, the second surface is formed by a surface of a second element 4a, ..., 4e.
  • the first stop surface 9 and the second stop surface 10 In the bent state of the arrangement 3 of the first elements 3a, ..., 3e is located between the first stop surface 9 and the second stop surface 10, a gap 11, which is smaller in backward movement of the stiffening device 2.
  • Each second element 4a,..., 4e also has, at one of its longitudinal ends, at least one side oriented transversely to its longitudinal direction, which faces a likewise transverse side at a longitudinal end of an adjacent second element 4a,..., 4e.
  • These sides of the second elements 4a,..., 4e each form a further stop surface pair 13, comprising a third stop surface 14 and a fourth stop surface 15. Both the stop surface 14 and the stop surface 15 are thus attached to the second elements 4a, ... , 4e trained.
  • a gap 16 which is smaller in backward movement of the stiffening device 2.
  • the first stop surface 9 and the third stop surface 14 and the second stop surface 10 and the fourth stop surface 15 may each lie in a plane. However, it is preferred and shown correspondingly in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 that the surfaces mentioned do not each lie together in one plane lie. Rather, the abutment surface pairs 8 and 13 are offset from one another along the longitudinal extent of the arrangement 3 of the first elements 3a, ..., 3e. This is achieved in that the widening 36 is not formed on a longitudinal edge of the second element 4a,..., 4e, but in a middle region.
  • the second elements 4a, ..., 4e each have at one of its longitudinal ends a projection 37 on the broadening 36 addition, at the end offset in the longitudinal direction of the second stop surface 10, the fourth stop surface 15 is formed.
  • the stop surface pairs 13 is not simply an extension of the stop surface pair 8, but a separate, independent group of stop surface pairs.
  • the dimensions of the second elements 4a,..., 4e are selected such that the recesses 33 in the first elements 3a,..., 3e are not completely filled by them in the longitudinal direction.
  • the projections 37 of the second elements 4a,..., 4e penetrate into this unfilled region of the recesses 33, as far as the third stop surface 14 and the fourth stop surface 15 at least partially abut each other (not shown) and thus a further backward movement, ie an overstretching of the stiffening device 2, counteract and thus prevent them.
  • the first abutment surface 9 and the second abutment surface 10 abut one another (not shown) and thus also prevent further backward movement.
  • two groups of abutment surface pairs 8, 13 counteract a further backward movement and thus an overstretching upon reaching the extended state of the arrangement 3 of first elements 3a,.
  • the blocking effect achieved thereby is particularly effective when the second elements 4a, ..., 4e of a pressure-resistant, hard, non-deformable material, preferably made of plastic, for example polycarbonate (eg Makrolon®), are formed.
  • the arrangement 3 of first elements 3a,..., 3e must, to ensure the flexibility of the stiffening device, be made of a bendable material, preferably of Plastic, for example, polycarbonate exist.
  • all abutment surfaces 10, 14, 15 are thus formed of the harder material except for the first abutment surfaces 9, which makes the blocking effect particularly effective.
  • individual of the first elements 3a, ..., 3e and / or individual of the second elements may be formed or shaped differently than the respective other elements, in particular the respective edge elements at the longitudinal ends of the stiffening device.
  • different lengths, flats and / or rounding can be provided.
  • it can also be identical or formed each element all the same.
  • the design of the elements is adapted to the requirements of the particular glove for which they are intended, and to their intended position in the respective glove.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows a plan view of a back of a glove 18 of an embodiment of a glove 17 according to the invention. Schematically with dashed lines, an arrangement of stiffening devices 2 is shown symbolically. These stiffening devices 2 may, for example, essentially correspond to the stiffening device 2 from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, but stiffening devices according to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 or other variants may likewise be involved.
  • the glove 17 has a plurality of substantially comparable finger portions 19, each comprising a finger back portion 20.
  • the finger back parts 20 merge into a back of the hand 21.
  • a stiffening device 2 is introduced as a stiffening insert, in particular sewn.
  • the upper side 5 of the arrangement of the first elements 3 of each of the stiffening devices 2 faces the back of the glove 18 and thus faces the observer in FIG.
  • the second elements 4a,..., 4e attached to the arrangement 3 of first elements 3a,..., 3f (the individual first elements 3a,..., 3f are not shown) can be seen.
  • the stiffening device 2 extends in each case from a region 22 around the fingertip into the back of the hand 21. There, the stiffening devices 2 still cover a region 23 around a first finger joint on the hand attachment of the finger.
  • each of the stiffening elements 2 used extends substantially over the entire finger back of the respective finger of a hand inserted into the glove. As a result, all finger joints are protected against overstretching even under strong force. A violation of the hand is thus effectively prevented.
  • FIG 6 and FIG 7 schematically show an embodiment of a latching connection for attachment of second elements 4a, ..., 4e, here element 4a, to an arrangement 3 of the first elements 3a, ..., 3f, here element 3b, FIG 4 in a side view and FIG 5 in a view from below.
  • FIG. 6 a section of the arrangement 3 of first elements 3a,..., 3f is shown schematically with a dashed line.
  • This section of the arrangement 3 of the first elements 3a,..., 3f has a passage 24.
  • FIG. 6 shows the second element 4a arranged on the upper side 5 of the arrangement 3 of first elements 3a,..., 3f.
  • integrally latching hooks 12 are formed, each comprising a latching nose 26 and a bendable locking leg 27.
  • the attachment of the second element 4a to the arrangement 3 of the first elements 3a, ..., 3f is effected by a latching connection.
  • the latching connection arises because the latching hooks 12 engage through the passage 24.
  • the border of the bushing 24 forms at the bottom 6 of the arrangement 3 first elements 3a, ..., 3f a locking edge 25.
  • This latching edge 25 is engaged behind the locking lugs 26 of the latching hooks 12 in the latching connection produced, ie the latching lugs 26 are so on the Bottom 6 of the arrangement 3 of the first elements 3a, ..., 3f arranged that they block a retraction of the latching hooks 12 through the passage 24.
  • the latching hooks 12 are formed substantially symmetrically. Between the locking hooks 12, a gap 28 is formed, which allows a bending movement of the locking legs 27 and thus the manufacture and release of the locking connection.
  • FIG. 7 shows a plan view of a section of the underside 6 of the arrangement 3 of first elements 3a,..., 3f. With a dashed line the arranged on the opposite side and largely hidden in this view second elements 4a is indicated.
  • the locking lugs 26 engage behind the formed by the border of the bushing 24 locking edge 25.
  • the locking edge 25 is therefore covered by the locking edges 26, it is therefore shown in phantom in these areas.
  • the formed between the latching hooks 12 gap 28 can be seen.
  • the space 28 allows the compression of the four locking hooks 12, so that the locking lugs 26 pass through the passage 24 and in this way the locking connection between the second element 4a and the arrangement 3 of the first elements 3a, ..., 3f prepared and also released again can be.
  • the locking legs 27 of the locking hooks 12 are formed reversibly bendable, in such a way that the arranged on the locking legs 27 locking lugs 26 in the unloaded state, the locking edge 25 engage behind, as shown in FIG 4 and FIG 5.
  • the latching connection for fastening the second elements 4a,..., 4e to the arrangement 3 of first elements may also be formed by only one latching hook (not shown).
  • the latching hook then preferably has a round cross-section, wherein the cross-sectional diameter in the region of the latching leg is smaller than in the region of the latching lug.
  • the latching lug is pressed through the passage in the arrangement of first elements. Subsequently, the latching connection locks over the latching edge of the latching hook and thus acts a retraction the latching hook from the implementation contrary. In this way, the second elements 4a, ..., 4e are fixed in position and stably connected to the arrangement 3 of the first elements.
