Definitions
- the invention relates to an impact protector according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a textile holding device with an impact protector according to the invention.
- Such impact protectors include, in particular, shin guards, which are sometimes also referred to as shin guards, greaves, lower leg guards or lower leg guards and belong to the field of sports protective equipment. These serve primarily to protect the shin against external forces that are caused by forces that occur in duels, collisions or impact situations.
- Typical sports in which impact protectors are regularly used include, for example, soccer, futsal, American football, field hockey, ice hockey, cricket, motor sports, cycling and martial arts.
- the protectors can also be used for all other parts of the body, such as shoulders, hips, thighs, chest, back/spine, genital area, stomach, hands, head or elbows.
- Such impact protectors are usually made of plastic and/or foam.
- impact protectors are also used in the medical field, for example as hip protectors, arm protectors, leg protectors, shoulder protectors, back protectors, etc., which are used as prophylaxis in hospitals or in old people's and nursing homes to protect patients in the event of a fall.
- Another area of application for impact protection is in physical therapy.
- lower leg protectors in particular shin guards, are known for athletes. These consist of a shell made of plastic material covering the areas of the leg to be protected, this shell consisting of two different plastic materials of different hardness, one material being used for the actual impact protection zones and these impact protection zones being overmoulded with the second material.
- the actual impact protection zones are made of the harder plastic material, such as polypropylene, and the surrounding areas are made of the less hard plastic material, such as polyurethane foam.
- lower leg protectors have proven useful in practice, they are made from less environmentally friendly materials, so that there is potential for improvement, especially with regard to the question of sustainability, which is becoming increasingly important.
- plastic materials used for the known shin guards can trigger allergies in the users, so that there is a need for innovative products in this regard as well.
- many athletes find the impact protectors made of plastic to be restrictive or uncomfortable to wear.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing an impact protector which has at least a comparable protective effect to, for example, the known impact protector, but which can also be produced from recyclable and non-hazardous material and is more comfortable to wear.
- the essence of the invention consists in the following: An impact protector, which serves in particular to protect against the effects of external forces.
- the impact protector has a base body with an inside and an outside.
- the base body is preferably convex towards the outside arched.
- the base body is formed from a cork material, in particular from a pressed cork material.
- inside refers to the side of the base body that is to be protected in each case, such as the shin, of the user.
- the term “outside” refers to the side of the base body that is remote from the body part to be protected, such as the user's shin.
- cork material refers to any material consisting of cork bark, cork residue, cork shavings, cork pieces and cork waste.
- the impact protector can also be produced or punched out in one piece from cork bark, or it can consist of several parts/particles which are possibly glued and/or pressed together.
- the term “pressed cork material” refers in particular to cork material produced from granules, to which a binding agent is added and which is pressed. Embodiments are also conceivable in which the cork granules are mixed with an elastomeric material, such as rubber.
- the convex curvature of the base body can vary depending on the area of application. However, non-curved shapes are also conceivable for the base body, which are designed essentially like plates.
- the base body is preferably formed from a fully pressed cork material.
- the term "fully pressed” is understood here to mean that the base body consists of only a single ply or layer of pressed cork material.
- the base body is formed from several layers of a pressed cork material (ie in particular a pressed cork material), the several layers of pressed cork material preferably being glued to one another.
- a pressed cork material ie in particular a pressed cork material
- an adhesive layer would be provided between the inner and middle ply/layer and between the middle and outer ply/layer, which would preferably be formed from a solvent-free contact adhesive (eg D310). becomes.
- two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten or more plies/layers can be provided.
- Both of the aforementioned embodiments ensure a particularly pronounced absorbing, insulating and dividing or dissipation of the forces acting from the outside.
- a highly pronounced fracture inhibition and fracture resistance can be achieved.
- the elasticity of the impact protectors can generally be increased, as well as their stability, in particular with regard to optimal compressive strength, tensile strength and tear resistance.
- the base body On its inside, the base body preferably has a contact structure formed from a plurality of first structural elements protruding from the inside of the base body, which is preferably configured to prevent the impact protector from slipping relative to the body part to be protected. A certain mobility, for example in the case of pronounced or extreme movements, should always be guaranteed.
- the fitting structure is able to increase extensibility, prevent cracking and deflect forces in a targeted manner.
- the first structural elements are preferably designed as round, oval, triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal and/or polygonal structural elements. These geometries have proven to be particularly efficient; Depending on the part of the body and/or type of sport, they can also be combined in order to achieve special adhesive or gliding properties.
- the first structural elements Preferably, have a substantially flat upper surface, i.e. which abuts the tibia, for example.
- the first structural elements preferably protrude from the inside of the base body by 1 mm to 5 mm, preferably by 2 mm to 4 mm, more preferably by 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm. These distances have proven to be particularly practical, since a certain amount of air circulation is guaranteed and sweat can drain off more easily. In addition, an optimal flow of forces can be achieved, i.e. the forces can be optimally derived or divided.
- the inter-element distances between the individual first structural elements are preferably from 2 mm to 20 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 18 mm, more preferably from 4 mm to 15 mm and even more preferably from 5 mm to 10mm.
- “inter-element distance” is understood to mean the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements (or their outer circumference). As a result, the above-mentioned advantages with regard to the height distances can be increased even further.
- the first structural elements preferably take up 30% to 90%, preferably 40% to 80%, more preferably 50% to 70% of the surface of the inside of the base body.
- the base body On its outside, the base body preferably has a protective structure formed from one or more second structural element(s) protruding from the outside of the base body, which is preferably configured to increase the strength of the impact protector.
- the impact protection can be increased in this way, on the other hand, the stability of the impact protector can be increased overall, e.g. against accidental breaking.
- the protective structure can also increase extensibility, prevent cracking and deflect forces in a targeted manner.
- the plurality of second structural elements regularly have the same or similar geometries as the first structural elements.
- a (single) second structural element is preferably provided, which is arranged centrally on the outside of the base body and which preferably runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal sides and/or the transverse sides of the impact protector.
- the one second structural element or the plurality of second structural elements preferably protrude by 1 mm to 8 mm, preferably by 2 mm to 6 mm, more preferably by 3 mm to 5 mm from the outside of the base body. In this way, the protective effect and the flow of forces can be further improved.
- the inter-element distances in the second structure elements correspond to the inter-element distances in the first structure elements.
- the density of the cork material is preferably between about 150 kg/m 2 and about 800 kg/m 2 , preferably between about 170 kg/m 2 and about 500 kg/m 2 , more preferably between about 190 kg/m 2 2 and about 400 kg/m 2 and more preferably between about 200 kg/m 2 and about 300 kg/m 2 .
- a particularly good impact protection or a particularly good force absorption can be achieved.
- cork can be compressed to half (or even 70%) of its thickness, allowing external forces to be deflected differently depending on cork density (and thickness). In addition, the cork then springs back into its original shape. Cork also has particularly good insulating properties.
- the grain size of the cork material is preferably from 0.025 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 5 mm and more preferably from 0.4 mm to 1 mm. With the appropriate grain sizes, the aforementioned effects can be increased. Depending on the region of the impact protector, however, the density and grain size can change or be adapted to special requirements.
- the thickness of the base body is preferably from 1 mm to 200 mm, preferably from 1 mm to 80 mm, more preferably from 1 mm to 12 mm, more preferably from 2 mm to 10 mm, more preferably from 3 mm to 8.5 mm and even more preferably from 4mm to 6mm.
- the base body can be formed from a large number of plies/layers glued together, so that in extreme cases the base body can be up to 20 cm thick.
- three plies/layers are preferably glued together, which regularly results in a maximum thickness of approximately 12 mm.
- the same thicknesses can also be achieved with full compression.
- the binders used for the cork material are preferably polyurethane synthetic resins, phenolic resins (formaldehyde resin), melamine resins or vegetable resins. As a result, a particularly strong connection can be guaranteed.
- the inside and/or the outside of the base body preferably have a surface finish in the form of multiple pre-sealing, printing, staining, impregnation, lacquering, glazing, oiling, waxing and/or engraving.
- the impact protectors according to the invention can be personalized by means of engraving or designed in color or black and white by means of printing. A colored granulate selection is also possible.
- cork as a raw material from a naturally renewable tree bark is also particularly environmentally friendly for the production of the impact protectors according to the invention, since plastic and synthetic materials can be dispensed with. In this way, contemporary consumption can be promoted, including the transmission of values at all levels, i.e. from athletes to clubs and organizations or associations.
- cork does not cause any skin problems and is also odorless. Thanks to the suberin contained in its cell walls and ceroids, cork is virtually impermeable to liquids, mites, bacteria, pests, rot, chemicals and gases. In terms of tactile and haptic perception, cork is therefore free of itching, mites and allergens. In addition, cork is hardly noticeable when worn and, thanks to its lightness, supports a previously unknown body freedom during sport.
- the impact protectors according to the invention can be worn directly on the skin or they can be inserted into a textile lining or into a textile fastening device such as a shirt, pants, stocking etc.
- the textile holding device preferably has suitable pockets into which the impact protectors can be inserted.
- the impact protectors can also be sewn, embedded or welded into the textile mounting device.
- the present invention comprises a textile holding device with an impact protector according to the invention.
- the textile mounting devices can be made of natural or man-made fabrics or fibers.
- they preferably have pockets into which the impact protectors can be placed.
- the pockets can be open or sewn shut. You can also use a zipper or Velcro be lockable.
- the impact protectors can be welded into the textile holding device.
- the impact protectors can also be attached to the outside of the textile holding device, ie sewn or glued on, for example.
- the impact protectors according to the invention can be manufactured as shin guards in the usual sizes and thicknesses and can also have different degrees of hardness (i.e. from soft to hard).
- Common size dimensions include XS (11cm to 12cm), S (12cm to 13.5cm), M (13.5cm to 15cm), L (15cm to 16.5cm), XL (16.5cm to 18cm) and XXL (18 cm to 19.5 cm).
- the most common thicknesses range from 3mm to 8mm. Depending on the size and pattern structure on the inside or outside, they can be manufactured differently.
- the base body 2 of the shin guard 1 has a top 3a and a bottom 3b (also called transverse sides) and a right side 4a and a left side 4b (also called longitudinal sides), the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b running in a slightly wedge-shaped manner from the upper side 3a to the lower side 3b.
- the base body 2 is from the inside 5 convexly curved towards the outside 6, with the curvature in the area of the upper side 3a tending to be somewhat more pronounced than in the area of the underside 3b.
- the base body 2 has a thickness D, which relates in particular to the middle part of the base body 2 and which is basically constant; however, embodiments are also conceivable in which the thickness D decreases somewhat in the direction of the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b and .
- the inside 5 is essentially smooth; however, it may have some texture or roughness to increase slip resistance.
- FIG. 2 a perspective view of a second exemplary embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a fully pressed base body 2 is illustrated.
- the base body 2 has a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5, which are also intended to increase slip resistance and also ensure a certain air circulation and drainage of liquids such as sweat.
- the forces can be optimally derived or divided.
- the thickness D refers to the thickness of the base body 2 without the height of the structural elements 7.
- the inner structural elements 7 are designed to be hexagonal and taper in the direction away from the inside 5 in the shape of a truncated pyramid.
- the inter-element distance Z designates the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements 7 (ie from outer circumference to outer circumference). The distance Z between the elements can be smaller in the central area of the inside 5 of the base body 2 than in the area of the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a fully pressed base body 2 and a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5 and a protective structure with several structural elements 8 on the outside 6, which shows the essential difference compared to the embodiment according to 2 matters.
- the outer structural elements 8 are also hexagonal in this exemplary embodiment and taper in the direction away from the outside 6 in the shape of a truncated pyramid.
- the inter-element distance Z designates the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements 8 (ie from outer circumference to outer circumference).
- the distance between the elements Z can be smaller in the central area of the outside 6 of the base body 2 than in the area of the Long sides 4a, 4b. Due to the base body 2 tapering downwards in a wedge shape, more structural elements 8 are arranged in the area of the upper side 3a than in the middle area and more structural elements 8 in the middle area than in the area of the underside 3b.
- a perspective view of a fourth exemplary embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a fully pressed base body 2 and a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5 and a protective structure with only one structural element 8 on the outside 6 is shown.
- One structural element 8 protrudes further from the outside 6 of the base body 2 than is the case with the plurality of structural elements 8 according to the previous exemplary embodiment (ie it can also have a thickness which corresponds to the thickness D of the base body 2) and it is arranged essentially centrally on the outside 6 of the base body 2 .
- One structural element 8 converges in an approximately wedge-shaped manner from top to bottom, ie preferably essentially parallel to the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b. Its thickness may decrease slightly from top to bottom.
- FIG 5 illustrates a perspective view of a first embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a three-layer base body 2, and a sectional view of the same along the line AA - A.
- the base body 2 of the shin guard 1 has a top 3a and a bottom 3b (also called transverse sides) and a right side 4a and a left side 4b (also called longitudinal sides), the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b running in a slightly wedge-shaped manner from the upper side 3a to the lower side 3b.
- the base body 2 is formed from three plies or layers, namely an inner layer 2a comprising the inside 5, a middle layer 2b and an outer layer 2c comprising the outside 6.
- the inner layer 2a and the outer layer 2c are regularly thicker than the middle layer 2b.
- the inner layer tends to be thicker towards the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b, whereas the outer layer 2c tends to be thinner towards the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b.
- the base body 2 is in turn convexly curved from the inside 5 to the outside 6, with the curvature in the area of the upper side 3a tending to be somewhat larger than in the area of the Bottom 3b.
- the base body has a (total) thickness D, which relates in particular to the middle part of the base body and which is basically constant; however, embodiments are also conceivable in which the thickness D decreases somewhat in the direction of the longitudinal sides.
- the (total) thickness D essentially corresponds to the thickness D according to the embodiment with the fully pressed base body (cf. Figures 1 to 4 ).
- the inside 5 is also designed to be essentially smooth here; however, it may have some texture or roughness to increase slip resistance.
- FIG. 6 a perspective view of a second exemplary embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a three-layer base body 2 is shown.
- the base body 2 now also has a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5 formed by the inner layer 2a, which is also intended to increase slip resistance and also ensure a certain air circulation and drainage of liquids, such as sweat.
- the thickness D refers to the (total) thickness of the base body 2 (ie the three layers 2a, 2b, 2c) without the height of the structural elements 7.
- the inner structural elements 7 are designed hexagonally in this exemplary embodiment and taper in the direction away from the inside 5 truncated pyramid.
- the inter-element distance Z designates the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements 7 (ie from outer circumference to outer circumference). The distance Z between the elements can be smaller in the central area of the inside 5 of the base body 2 than in the area of the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b.
- FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a three-layer base body 2 and a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5 formed by the inner layer 2a and a protective structure with several structural elements 8 on the outside 6 formed by the outer layer 2c, which also here the main difference compared to the embodiment according to 6 matters.
- the outer structural elements 8 are also hexagonal in this exemplary embodiment and taper in the direction away from the outside 6 in the shape of a truncated pyramid.
- the inter-element distance Z designates the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements 8 (ie from outer circumference to outer circumference).
- the inter-element distance Z can be in the middle Area of the outside 6 of the base body 2 may be smaller than in the area of the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b. Due to the base body 2 tapering downwards, more structural elements 8 are arranged in the area of the upper side 3a than in the middle area and more structural elements 8 in the middle area than in the area of the underside 3b.
- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a three-layer base body 2 and a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5 formed by the inner layer 2a and a protective structure with only one structural element 8 on the outside 6 formed by the outer layer 2c , shown.
- One structural element 8 protrudes further from the outside 6 of the base body 2 than is the case with the plurality of structural elements 8 according to the previous embodiment (ie it can also have a thickness which corresponds to the thickness D of the base body 2) and it is arranged essentially centrally on the outside 6 of the base body 2 .
- One structural element 8 converges in an approximately wedge-shaped manner from top to bottom, ie preferably essentially parallel to the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b. Its thickness may decrease slightly from top to bottom.
- an exemplary textile holding device 10 is shown in the form of underpants or support underpants 11, into which an impact protector 1 according to the invention is inserted as hip protection.
- the support briefs 11 have a pocket 12 on each side, into which the hip protectors 1 can be placed.
- the pockets 12 are preferably open, but they can also be sewn shut. You can also be closed by means of a zipper or Velcro.
- FIG. 10 a further exemplary textile holding device 10 in the form of underpants or support underpants 11 is shown.
- impact protectors 1 according to the invention are attached to the outside of the support underpants 11 (ie sewn or glued on). These are two groin protectors, two hip protectors and one genital protector.
- the impact protectors 1 only have structural elements 8 for receiving and dissipating the power flow on the outside and a substantially smooth inside.
- the impact protectors 1 according to the invention can also be used for all other parts of the body, such as shoulders, thighs, chest, back/spine, abdomen, hands, head or elbows.
- a use as a women's bra is also conceivable due to the high wearing comfort of the cork (where the cork material is on the inside and the textile material on the outside), both as a sports bra and as a normal everyday bra.
- the present disclosure also includes embodiments with any combination of features that are mentioned or shown above or below for different embodiments. It also includes individual features in the figures, even if they are shown there in connection with other features and/or are not mentioned above or below.
- the alternatives of embodiments described in the figures and the description and individual alternatives their features can also be excluded from the subject matter of the invention or from the disclosed objects.
- the disclosure includes embodiments that exclusively include the features described in the claims or in the exemplary embodiments, as well as those that include additional other features.
