Description

Adjustable protection kneepad.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a kneepad  comprising an oval central area, reinforced and provided with a central window which is located above the knee and a from it, above and below, start two pairs of opposite flaps that make up bands above and below the knee respectively, provided in the free and matched ends of complementary adjustment means and removable joint with each other "velcro" type, to form bands closed in the use position that can be opened without difficulty when necessary.

These knee pads must secure the kneecap positioning both vertically and transversely and replace the ligament deficiencies of the femoro-tibial joint, allowing mobility necessary.

Background of the invention

Currently there are known various types of  knee pads: those made from rigid elements, and the made from a flexible band. The knee pads of rigid elements are composed of two elements in the form of shell that are applied above and below the joint with ribbons  Fixing. The contact of these pieces with the skin is not nice and adapting to the knee is not good for what it is The fastening straps need to be tightly tightened, thereby Increases the sense of imprisonment for the user.

Knee pads made from a layer flexible fabric, elastic at least one way, have generally a tubular shape and a central cupping that forms a cushion and label centering cushion and one or two bands that are applied on the leg, sometimes crossing up and down of the patella. The extremities of these bands are provided with self-restraint means. This type of knee pads is more pleasant to wear, it adapts better to the variations of the morphology but has the disadvantage that they move from their location, decreasing knee maintenance, of so that the bearer has to proceed frequently to some readjustments of the position of these bands, which is annoying and Tired for the athlete.

Description of the invention

The kneepad object of this model presents in first a structure of a fabric, consisting of threads of polyester (tetorón), nylon and neoprene, combined with each other or in proportions that allow you to provide optimal flexibility, perspiration and retention characteristics of the hot. This fabric forms an outer layer or wall, which meets the containment tissue function and which fully comprises a rough surface where the velcro fastener is attached at the end of each of the bands that make up the kneepad and a flexible interior wall or surface, of fine texture, which It can be applied directly to the skin of the Username.

This kneepad presents on the outer face, fixed in the central oval area another two pairs of flaps opposite, shorter and narrower than the main ones, which are provided at the ends of velcro fastening means at apply them on the respective main flaps, so that allow to adjust the tension of tightening on the leg and in consequence prevent the kneepad from moving, even when running or Practice another type of sport.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a plan view of a unfolded kneepad, made according to this model.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a kneepad as it is on one leg before fixing the outer flaps that provide tension in your Close on the member.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced the adjustable protection kneepad comprises a central oval area (1), reinforced and provided with a window central (11) that is located above the knee. From this area central (1) split, above and below, two pairs of opposite flaps (2-3), which make up two bands that in the placement are located above and below the knee respectively (see Fig. 2). One of the flaps (2) is provided at the free end of a "velcro" type closure (21) that fits over the facing flap (3), which bends in first place on the leg, to form closed bands in the position of use, which can be opened without difficulty whenever precise.

The structure of said kneepad is that of a fabric consisting of polyester (tetorón), nylon and neoprene threads combined with each other to provide you with features of flexibility, perspiration and heat retention, forming a outer layer or wall that serves as a containment fabric and which comprises in its entirety a rough surface on which hook the velcro closure (21) placed at the end of each band, and a flexible interior wall or surface, of texture fine, capable of being applied directly to the skin of the Username.

As seen in the figures on the face exterior has fixed in the central oval area (1) two others pairs of opposite flaps (4-5), shorter and narrow than the main ones (2-3), provided in the ends of velcro fasteners (41-51) on the respective main flaps. Once the knee brace is attached to the leg using the bands main adjusts with these (4-5) the voltage of tighten the kneepad.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.

Claims (2)
