Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Einlegeteil nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 und einen zur Aufnahme des Einlegeteils ausgebildeten Knieschützer.The invention relates to an insert according to the preamble of claim 1 and a trained for receiving the insert knee protectors.

Knieschützer oder Knieschoner werden oft von Personen benutzt, die kniend arbeiten. Dabei schützt der Knieschützer das Knie der Person vor Druck und Verletzungen, die durch Reibung zwischen dem Knie und dem Boden entstehen können, auf welchem die Person kniet.Knee pads or knee pads are often used by people who work kneeling. At the same time, the knee protector protects the person's knee from pressure and injuries that may result from friction between the knee and the ground on which the person is kneeling.

Die US 2006/0041986 A1 beschreibt ein Einlegeteil für einen Knieschützer, welches aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material gefertigt und eine Innenseite und eine Außenseite umfasst. Das Einlegeteil besitzt an seiner Innenseite eine Vertiefung, in der eine weitere Vertiefung angeordnet ist. Hierdurch soll das Knie des Benutzers in diese Vertiefung weiter eintauchen können, um besser abgestützt zu sein.The US 2006/0041986 A1 describes an insert for a knee protector made of an elastically deformable material and comprising an inside and an outside. The insert has on its inside a recess in which a further recess is arranged. As a result, the user's knee should be able to continue to dip into this depression in order to be better supported.

Die US 5,711,029 A , die EP 0 916 370 A2 sowie die US 2003/0019006 A1 beschreiben ähnlich konfigurierte Einlegeteile, nämlich Einlegeteile, die eine Vertiefung und eine weitere Vertiefung besitzen.The US 5,711,029 A , the EP 0 916 370 A2 as well as the US 2003/0019006 A1 describe similarly configured inserts, namely inserts having a recess and a further recess.

Ein weiterer Knieschützer ist beispielsweise aus DE 101 20 823 A1 bekannt. Der Knieschützer ist eine Schale, in welche ein Einlegeteil eingelegt ist. Die Schale ist aus einem harten Material gefertigt und umschließt das Knie. In der Schale befindet sich ein Polster, das sich beim Einlegen in die Schale elastisch verformt. Bekannt sind auch Knieschoner, bei denen ein Polster auf einem Band befestigt ist. Ein Abriebschutz auf der Außenseite des Polsters schützt dieses vor Verschleiß.Another knee protector is for example off DE 101 20 823 A1 known. The knee protector is a shell in which an insert is inserted. The shell is made of a hard material and encloses the knee. There is a pad in the shell, which deforms elastically when inserted into the shell. Also known are knee pads, in which a pad is attached to a band. An abrasion protection on the outside of the pad protects it from wear.

Für den Fall, dass ein eingelegtes Polster verrutscht, könnte Druck auf das Knie ausgeübt werden, der für die tragende Person unangenehm ist. Auch könnte ein Band, auf dessen Außenseite das Polster befestigt ist, beim Knien einen für die Person unangenehmen Druck auf das Knie ausüben.In the event that an inlaid pad slips, pressure could be applied to the knee that is uncomfortable for the wearer. Also, a band on the outside of the pad is attached, when kneeling exert a person uncomfortable pressure on the knee.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Knieschützer der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, so dass in einfacher Art und Weise ein verbesserter Knieschützer mit erhöhtem Tragekomfort angegeben wird.It is an object of the present invention to provide a knee protector of the type mentioned, so that in an easy way an improved knee protector is given with increased comfort.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Vertiefung einen oberen Bereich, einen mittleren Bereich und einen unteren Bereich aufweist, dass die Vertiefung in einem oberen Bereich der Innenseite größer als in einem unteren Bereich der Innenseite ist, dass die Vertiefung eine Erhebung umfasst, und dass die Erhebung in dem mittleren Bereich der Innenseite angeordnet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the depression has an upper region, a middle region and a lower region the recess in an upper region of the inner side is larger than in a lower region of the inner side, that the depression comprises a protrusion, and that the protrusion is arranged in the middle region of the inner side.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen wird in vorteilhafter Weise ein Einlegeteil ausgebildet, das sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass das Einlegeteil an die Form des jeweiligen Knies angepasst ist: das Knie wird in der Vertiefung an der Innenseite des Einlegeteils aufgenommen, wodurch das Knie vom Einlegeteil zumindest teilweise umschlossen ist und das Einlegeteil durch elastische Verformung an die jeweilige Form des Knies anpasst ist.The inventive measures an insert is advantageously formed, which is characterized in that the insert is adapted to the shape of the respective knee: the knee is received in the recess on the inside of the insert, whereby the knee at least partially enclosed by the insert is and the insert is adapted by elastic deformation of the respective shape of the knee.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einlegeteil zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Vertiefung in einem oberen Bereich der Innenseite größer als in einem unteren Bereich der Innenseite ist. Insbesondere beim Beugen wird der obere Bereich des Einlegeteils stärker gedehnt oder ist einem höheren Druck ausgesetzt. Durch die größere Vertiefung ist die Beanspruchung des oberen Bereichs der Innenseite reduziert im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Polstern in Knieschützern oder Knieschonern. Gleichzeitig erhöht sich der Tragekomfort durch die angepasste Vertiefung der Innenseite des Einlegeteils, insbesondere ist der obere Bereich des Knies geschützt auch bei einem starken Anwinkeln des Knies und damit starker Beanspruchung des Einlegeteils.The insert according to the invention is characterized in that the depression is larger in an upper region of the inner side than in a lower region of the inner side. In particular, when bending the upper portion of the insert is stretched more or exposed to a higher pressure. The larger recess reduces the stress on the upper area of the inside compared to traditional padding in knee pads or knee pads. At the same time, the comfort of wear increases due to the adapted depression of the inside of the insert, in particular the upper region of the knee is protected even with a strong angling of the knee and thus heavy stress on the insert.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Vertiefung eine Erhebung umfasst. Die Erhebung ist beispielswiese an der Stelle der Innenseite des Einlegeteils angeordnet an der sich der Bereich unterhalb der Kniescheibe befindet. Dadurch verformt sich die Erhebung entsprechend der Anatomie des Knies. Somit ist ein erhöhter Tragekomfort ermöglicht.According to the invention it is provided that the depression comprises a survey. The survey is beispielswiese arranged at the location of the inside of the insert at which the area is below the kneecap. As a result, the survey deforms according to the anatomy of the knee. Thus, an increased wearing comfort is possible.

Um das Einlegeteil noch weiter zu verbessern ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Erhebung in einem mittleren Bereich der Innenseite angeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht eine verbesserte angepasste Vertiefung. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Erhebung im mittigen Bereich der Kniescheibe vorgesehen und ermöglicht eine Entlastung an der am meisten beanspruchten Stelle, außerdem kann durch die Erhebung das Einlegeteil an dieser Stelle ggf. verstärkt werden.In order to further improve the insert is preferably provided that the survey is arranged in a central region of the inside. this makes possible an improved fitted recess. Advantageously, the survey is provided in the central region of the patella and allows relief on the most stressed point, also may be enhanced by the survey, the insert at this point, if necessary.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Einlegeteil erhöht sich daher der Tragekomfort, weil auf das Knie, insbesondere bei langem Tragen, wenig Druck ausgeübt wird und die Vertiefung der Innenseite auch beispielsweise dann angepasst ist, wenn sich die Lage des Knies durch dessen Bewegung verändert.The insert element according to the invention therefore increases the wearing comfort because little pressure is exerted on the knee, in particular during prolonged wear, and the depression of the inside is also adapted, for example, when the position of the knee changes as a result of its movement.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklung sieht vor, dass das Einlegeteil im oberen Bereich eine Wölbung aufweist. Die Wölbung des oberen Bereichs des Einlegeteils ist ähnlich der Wölbung eines gebeugten Knies, wobei ein Randbereich der Innenseite des Einlegeteils zumindest im oberen Bereich des Einlegeteils nach oben gekrümmt ausgebildet ist. Auch kann die Außenseite des Einlegeteils in dessen oberen Bereich nach oben gekrümmt ausgebildet sein,Another advantageous development provides that the insert has a curvature in the upper region. The curvature of the upper portion of the insert is similar to the curvature of a bent knee, wherein an edge region of the inner side of the insert is formed at least in the upper region of the insert upwardly curved. Also, the outside of the insert may be formed curved in the upper region upwards,

In einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterentwicklung ist vorgesehen, dass das Einlegeteil im unteren Bereich im Wesentlichen ohne Wölbung ausgebildet ist. Beispielsweise ist der untere Rand der Innenseite zumindest mittig flach ausgebildet.In another advantageous development, it is provided that the insert part is designed substantially without curvature in the lower region. For example, the lower edge of the inside is at least centrally flat.

Auch kann vorgesehen sein, dass der untere Bereich des Einlegeteils nach unten verjüngend ausgebildet ist. Dies begünstigt wiederum die Anpassung der Vertiefung der Innenseite des Einlegeteils. Auch kann die Innenseite des Einlegeteils symmetrisch zu einer Längsachse desselben ausgebildet sein.It can also be provided that the lower region of the insert part is tapered downwards. This in turn favors the adaptation of the recess of the inside of the insert. Also, the inside of the insert may be formed symmetrically to a longitudinal axis thereof.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklung sieht vor, dass das Einlegeteil ein Polster oder Kissen umfasst. Die Außenseite des Einlegeteils kann eine Schicht aus Neopren oder Neoprenhülle aufweisen, die wasserundurchlässig und/oder atmungsaktiv ausgebildet ist, wodurch sich der Tragekomfort verbessert. Auch kann die Außenseite des Einlegeteils einen Abriebschutz umfassen.Another advantageous development provides that the insert comprises a pad or cushion. The outside of the insert may have a layer of neoprene or neoprene sleeve that is waterproof and / or breathable, which improves comfort. Also, the outside of the insert may include an abrasion protection.

Um das Einlegeteil noch weiter zu verbessern ist in einer vorteilhaften Weiterentwicklung vorgesehen, dass der mittlere, obere und/oder untere Bereich aus gleichem oder unterschiedlich elastisch verformbaren Material ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann die angepasste Vertiefung optimal verformt werden.In order to further improve the insert part, it is provided in an advantageous further development that the middle, upper and / or lower region is formed from the same or differently elastically deformable material. As a result, the adapted recess can be optimally deformed.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen wird in vorteilhafter Weise ein Knieschützer ausgebildet, der sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass er ein Einlegeteil (wie oben beschrieben), wenigstens ein Halteelement und ein Trägerelement umfasst. Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Knieschützer erhöht sich der Tragekomfort, da das Knie in der angepassten Vertiefung des Einlegeteils aufgenommen ist. Dabei kann das Einlegeteil am Trägerelement dauerhaft oder lösbar befestigt sein. Auch kann die Außenseite des Einlegeteils das Trägerelement zumindest teilweise ersetzen, beispielsweise fügt sich die Außenseite des Einlegeteils in eine Ausnehmung des Trägerelements. Das wenigstens eine Halteelement dient der Befestigung des Knieschützers am Knie und weist beispielsweise Klettverschlüsse auf.The inventive measures a knee protector is advantageously formed, which is characterized in that it comprises an insert (as described above), at least one holding element and a support member. The knee protector according to the invention increases the wearing comfort, since the knee is received in the adapted recess of the insert. In this case, the insert may be permanently or detachably attached to the carrier element. Also, the outside of the insert part can at least partially replace the carrier element, For example, the outside of the insert fits into a recess of the support element. The at least one retaining element serves to attach the knee protector to the knee and has, for example, hook-and-loop fasteners.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklung sieht vor, dass der das Trägerelement und/oder das Einlegeteil auf der Außenseite einen Abriebschutz umfasst. Der Abriebschutz kann sich über die gesamte Außenseite erstrecken. Vorteilhaft wird der Abriebschutz die Bereiche des Trägerelements oder des Einlegeteils umfassen, die bei Verwendung des Knieschützers mit dem Boden in Berührung kommen. Der Abriebschutz umfasst vorteilhafterweise Kevlar-Gewebe oder ein anderes Material, das eine hohe Belastbarkeit und Abriebfestigkeit aufweist. Auch kann der Knieschützer, das Trägerelement, das Halteelement oder das Einlegeteil eine Neoprenhülle aufweisen, die wasserundurchlässig und/oder atmungsaktiv ist.Another advantageous development provides that the support element and / or the insert on the outside comprises an abrasion protection.
