Abstract

The knee protector consists of a band that goes round the wearer's leg under the knee joint, with a pad (1) at the front to protect the upper end of the tibia when kneeling. The pad, 5 - 12 mm thick, has an inner layer of a fine material that does not irritate the skin, especially a woven material with a soft texture, an outer layer of a thicker material that is resistant to friction, and padding of synthetic material or natural fibres e.g. kapok or wool.

Produits de confort pour le tibia.Comfort products for the shin.

L' invention a pour objet des produits de confort pour  The invention relates to comfort products for

proteger l'extremite superieure du tibia.  protect the upper end of the tibia.

Le tibia est un os long qui forme la partie interne de la jambe. Son extremite superieure est surmontee d'une epine et consiste en deux tuberosites qui supportent le plateau tibial  The tibia is a long bone that forms the inner part of the leg. Its upper extremity is surmounted by a thorn and consists of two tuberosities which support the tibial plateau

qui s'articule avec le femur.which articulates with the femur.

Cette extremite superieure, qui correspond a la partie de la jambe sous la rotule, est fortement sollicitee en position agenouillee, entra1nant, outre de la fatigue, des douleurs et la formation de callosites. De tels symptomes vent ainsi observes, par exemple, dans le cas de genuflexions repetees, lors de pratiques de prieres, par suite du contact et du frottement de cette partie de la jambe sous la rotule avec le sol. L' invention propose une solution simple a ces inconvenients, en fournissant des produits de confort permettant d'eviter le contact direct avec le sol, en particulier lors de stations avec les jambes repliees sous le corps. Les produits de confort de ['invention vent caracterises en ce qutils comportent: À une bande, de longueur appropriee pour entourer la jambe au niveau de ladite extremite superieure du tibia, et À une pastille destinee a recouvrir la partie de la jambe situee sous la rotule, constituee par une matiere de rembourrage recouverte d'un materiau tisse  This upper extremity, which corresponds to the part of the leg under the kneecap, is highly stressed in the kneeling position, causing, in addition to fatigue, pain and the formation of calluses. Such symptoms are thus observed, for example, in the case of repeated genuflexions, during prayer practices, as a result of contact and friction of this part of the leg under the kneecap with the ground. The invention proposes a simple solution to these drawbacks, by providing comfort products making it possible to avoid direct contact with the ground, in particular during stations with the legs folded under the body. The comfort products of the invention are characterized in that they comprise: a band, of suitable length to surround the leg at the level of said upper extremity of the tibia, and a lozenge intended to cover the part of the leg situated under the ball joint, made of a stuffing covered with a woven material

ou non tisse.or not weaves.

Une telle structure presente l'avantage d'amortir la durete du contact avec le sol en position agenouillee, ce qui supprime la fatigue et la douleur associees habituellement a  Such a structure has the advantage of absorbing the hardness of contact with the ground in a kneeling position, which eliminates the fatigue and pain usually associated with

cette position. Wile permet en outre de prevenir  this position. Wile also helps prevent

l'epaississement et le durcissement de l'epiderme.  thickening and hardening of the epidermis.

Il s'agit done d'un effet different des bandes de contention qui visent a comprimer une partie de la jambe et vent utilisees dans le domaine sportif, ou encore des elements recouvrant une partie de la jambe, le plus generalement la  It is therefore a different effect from the compression bands which are intended to compress a part of the leg and wind used in the sports field, or even elements covering a part of the leg, most generally the

rotule, pour la proteger de chocs violents.  ball, to protect it from violent shocks.

Dans une variante de realisation de ['invention, la pastille comporte un revetement interieur destine a etre en contact avec la peau. Ce revetement est forme d'un materiau fin non irritant pour la peau, en particulier d'un materiau tisse a texture [ache. Le revetement exterieur destine a etre en contact avec le sol est forme d'un materiau plus epais,  In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the pellet has an internal coating intended to be in contact with the skin. This coating is formed from a fine material which is not irritating to the skin, in particular from a woven material with a dry texture. The exterior covering intended to be in contact with the ground is formed from a thicker material,

resistant au frottement.abrasion resistant.

A titre d'exemple, le materiau non irritant est par exemple un coton et le revetement exterieur est en velours,  For example, the non-irritating material is for example cotton and the external covering is in velvet,

These products can be distributed in the mass of the stuffing material or be encapsulated and
