BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a leg guard structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The improvement of the leg guard structure of the present invention is as follows.
A baseball catcher provides a leg guard for use in the defense, which allows the catcher to be more active in the defense and provide additional security. Regarding baseball, there are many enthusiasts in any country or region, so many tools for catchers are needed.Because the catchers are behind the home plate and batter, when the batter chips the ball, It jumps up or hits the catcher's body instantaneously. Therefore, as a tool to protect the body of the catcher, the design of a tool to protect the foot is the most important thing,
Therefore, the tool for protecting the foot must be considered not only for safe protection of the foot but also for active movement of the foot.

[0003]

However, the currently used foot protection tool (see FIGS. 1 and 2) is mainly provided with a sponge at the inner end of the calf guard board 10. Yes, it is fastened by rivets 101, and the sponge 11 is integrally molded upward, forming a knee sponge 111, and inserting the knee board 12 into the knee sponge 11,
Since it is fastened by the rivet 121, a sponge protrusion 112 is provided at the point of the knee sponge 111 between the Lee board 12 and the calf guard board 10 to protect the gap between the two and at the same time, at the upper end of the knee board 12. , A connection band 13, and an upper board 14 is provided on the upper end of the connection band 13. However, in the case of tools often used in this way, even though they perform a protective action, the activity of the catcher is limited because the sponge 11 and the knee sponge 111 are fixed together. In particular, since the sponge protrusions 112 are provided between the sponges provided integrally, it is difficult to bend the legs, and furthermore, the operation which the catcher protects is almost kneeling and bending the knees slightly forward, It is very difficult to move the position quickly in a natural situation because the knee sponge 111 and the sponge 11 are integrally fixed at the sponge protrusion 112, and the extension is very difficult. Creates a kind of compression, which severely affects its active responsiveness, while at the same time the bottom of its calf guard board 10 has a straight Since use, the ankle curved kneeling for bending, pressed to the bottom of the kerf guard board 10, is compressed in it operation becomes unintended,
So even though leg guards, which are commonly used, protect the ball from directly hitting the foot, its action creates a lot of inconvenience, which makes it a perfect fit for the above active activities. For consideration, this leg guard on the market is designed as a connecting band type structure as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
The structure of the guard has the calf guard board 20 as before, and the inner end of the calf guard board 20 also fastens the sponge guard 21, and the upper end of the sponge guard 21 The design is cut in the same way as the upper end of the calf guard board 20 to take into account its active operation, and the calf guard board 2
0, two connecting bands 22 are fixed to the upper end of the connecting band, and the upper end of the connecting band is separately fixed to a knee board 23. On this knee board 23, two connecting bands 24 and an upper board 25 are fixed. Providing a very active extension, since the connecting bands 22, 24 all have the activity of the space between each guard board in case of kneeling or bending of the feet or sudden rises And the operation of the bend, however, the structure of the second leg guard, while taking into account the problem of active activity, in consideration of its relatively low safety and durability, With this connecting band 22, when kneeling, the knee touches the ground, and when receiving a ball, the activity always rubs the ground, and if it lasts for a long time, the connecting band 22 is obstructed and cannot be used, The leg that is bent and bent to the left has a gap at the point of the connecting band 22, so that if a ball is received, the band on the knee will be damaged, and the leg guard that is frequently used and the improved leg guard (No. The leg guard of (2) adopts a straight design at the bottom ends of the calf guard boards 10 and 20. For this reason, everyone presses on the ankle, and at the same time, the ankle protruding inside and outside of the foot, The ankles here are all protruding, so that everyone can extend and protect the lower part on both sides with sponges 11 and 21,
And there are only bones and skin, even if it is protected with just a sponge, if you receive the ball directly there,
Severe damage is inevitable. Therefore,
Each of the commonly used leg guards has a number of disadvantages, and the applicant has
After gaining practical experience in the manufacture of guards, responding to the needs of the market, and actually combining and designing ergonomics, it was actually manufactured and improved, and finally the leg guard structure of the present invention was completed. We devised an improvement.

[0004]

The sponge is fixedly provided at the inner end of the front board, a connecting band is stuck on the sponge, the upper end of the connecting band is provided at the lower end of the upper board, and the lower end of the sponge is provided at the lower end of the upper board. The lower end of the calf guard board is provided with a guard board extending toward both sides, and the sponge inside the calf guard board is connected to the knee sponge again, making it more effective Its feature is that it is activated quickly so that it can provide a protective effect.

It will be clearer if the other objects and advantages of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the combination of the drawings. Here, the special structure, the technical means and the features used to achieve the above-mentioned design purpose of the present invention in combination with the drawings are described in detail as follows.

[0006]

FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG.
The improvement of the leg guard structure of the present invention is achieved by installing a sponge 31 at the inner end of the calf guard board 30 and fastening the sponge 31 with a rivet 301.
The upper end of the sponge 31 is formed with a knee sponge 311 so as to extend beyond the tip of the calf guard board 30, and the both ends of the bottom of the sponge 31 are extended downward to form the lug guard 3.
12 and the left and right sides of the bottom end of the calf guard board 30 also extend downward, respectively, so that the lug guard board 302
And the calf guard board 3
0 has a channel 30 that is concave upwardly.
3, an ankle guard board 33 is provided therein, and two connecting bands 42 are fixedly provided at appropriate points on the inner edge of the upper end of the calf guard board 30. A sponge 41 in which the upper end of the connecting band 42 is fixed to the inner edge of the bottom end of the upper board 32 and the middle stage of the connecting band 42 is provided inside the front board 40
Then, the left and right ends and the upper end of the sponge 41 are stitched into the inside of the front board 40. Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the improvement of the leg guard structure of the present invention is combined by the above-mentioned structure, and when it is used, the present invention is tied to the foot by the strap 60, In the case of sudden rise or movement, the upper board and the calf guard board 30 are designed by adopting the method of the connecting band 42, so that they are very actively extended or curved and upright. , The upper board 34 and the calf guard board 30 are pushed toward the connecting band 42, and the front board 40 is connected to the connecting band 42 so that the connecting band 42 is bent outward by the flexibility of the connecting band 42. 4
2 stitched to the middle point, moved slightly according to the curvature of the connection band 42, and if the catcher knelt, the upper board 34 and the calf guard board 30 receive the curvature of the foot, When the user moves up and down the front board 40, the connection band 4
The length of two is also sufficient for the movement of both of them. Thus, in the design of the present invention, no matter how much the user's foot is curved or upright, its upper board 34
The calf guard board 30 and the calf guard board 30 are all pushed or extended toward the interior space of the front board 40 to provide the user with active movement. Since the front board 40 is stitched forward, the front board 40 is slightly slid on the ground when kneeling, and the front board 4
0 completely protects the connecting band 42 from grounding.
At the same time, the sponge 31 of the present invention does not hit the foot because the front board 40 is protected even if the ball which is slightly bent forward and receives the ball directly on the connecting band 42 on the knee is protected. At the upper end, the integrally formed knee sponge 311 is inside the front board 40 so that when the user's knee leans on the knee sponge 311, it provides flexibility and comfort when kneeling, and double In addition to providing protection, the lug guard boards 302 extending on both sides of the bottom edge of the calf guard board 30 also ensure protection of the ankles on both sides of the foot, and are slightly reduced, as in conventional well-known ones. At the same time as improving the drawbacks protected by the sponge, the bottom end of the calf guard board 30 of the present invention uses a channel design that is concave inwardly upwards. So, no matter how much your feet are bent, their ankles are all in the space of the channel 303, so you don't want to be squeezed by the straight line at the bottom end of the calf guard board as you often use, It doesn't.

[0007] Thus, the improvement of the leg guard structure of the present invention combined by the above structure has the following advantages: (1) The connecting band between the upper board and the calf guard board; (2) The front board installed in front of the connection band
Protects the knee and keeps the connecting band from fraying. (3) The knee sponge is formed by integrally molding the upper end of the sponge so that the knee is soft and comfortable when kneeling.
Double protection: (4) The bottom edge of the calf guard board is ergonomically combined, and the design of the channel that recesses upwards into the inside, the ankle is pushed down by the bottom edge of the calf guard board. Avoid jamming: (5) Both sides of the bottom edge of the calf guard board are extended downward to provide lug guard boards to protect the ankles on both sides of the feet. The overall design of the improved leg guard structure of the present invention further enhances the user's activity and also protects the foot safety.
