Description

本発明は、野球又はソフトボールのキャッチャー用レッグガードに関する。 The present invention relates to a leg guard for a baseball or softball catcher.

従来、野球やソフトボール等のキャッチャー用レッグガードは、ボールの衝突による衝撃や走者の衝突による衝撃からキャッチャーの脚部を保護するために装着されるもので、例えば、膝プロテクタ、足脛プロテクタ、足甲プロテクタを連結して構成したものが公知である（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, leg guards for catchers such as baseball and softball are installed to protect the legs of the catcher from the impact of a ball collision or the impact of a runner's collision. It is known that the instep protector is connected and configured (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特許第３６６０６３２号公報Japanese Patent No. 3660632

しかし、従来のキャッチャー用レッグガードは、キャッチャーがボールを受ける際の脚の動きにより、装着位置のずれが生じる虞があった。特に、ストライクゾーンを大きく外れたボールを受ける場合に、脚部が激しく動き、とりわけ左右に大きく外れたボールを受ける場合には、レッグガードの膝プロテクタの装着位置が左右に大きくずれる虞があった。これにより、試合中にキャッチャーの膝部の保護が完全ではなくなるという問題が生じていた。また、キャッチャーがストライクゾーンを下に大きく外れたボールを受けるときに、膝を地面に激しくぶつける場合があり、従来のレッグガードでは、上下に位置ずれしている場合があり、その際の膝の保護が十分にはできなかった。 However, in the conventional leg guard for catcher, there is a possibility that the mounting position may be displaced due to the movement of the leg when the catcher receives the ball. In particular, when receiving a ball that deviates significantly from the strike zone, the legs move violently, and especially when receiving a ball that deviates significantly to the left or right, there is a risk that the mounting position of the knee protector of the leg guard will shift significantly to the left or right. .. This caused the problem that the catcher's knees were not completely protected during the match. Also, when the catcher receives a ball that is far below the strike zone, the knee may hit the ground violently, and with conventional leg guards, the knee may be misaligned up and down. It wasn't protected enough.

そこで、本発明は、キャッチャーが脚部を激しく動かした場合でも、膝保護部の装着位置の左右・上下方向へのずれが起こることを防止でき、キャッチャーの膝部を十分に保護でき、キャッチャーが膝を地面に激しくぶつけた場合でも。膝を十分に保護できるレッグガードの提供を目的とする。 Therefore, according to the present invention, even when the catcher moves the leg violently, it is possible to prevent the knee protection portion from being displaced in the left-right / up-down direction, and the catcher's knee portion can be sufficiently protected. Even if you hit your knees hard against the ground. The purpose is to provide a leg guard that can sufficiently protect the knee.

本発明のレッグガードは、膝パッドを備えた膝保護部を有するレッグガードに於て、上記膝パッドに縫着された膝蓋骨用パッドを備え、該膝蓋骨用パッドに、キャッチャーの膝蓋骨を受ける略円形の膝蓋骨受け孔を形成し、上記膝パッドと上記膝蓋骨用パッドとの間に、空間部を形成するように、上記膝蓋骨用パッドが張力をもって上記膝パッドに縫着されているものである。
また、上記膝蓋骨受け孔は、閉略円形状、乃至、上部に小開口部のある略円形状であって、キャッチャーの膝蓋骨の上下方向の微小な動きを許容するように構成されているものである。 The leg guard of the present invention is a leg guard having a knee protection portion provided with a knee pad, the patella pad sewn to the knee pad is provided, and the patella pad receives the catcher's patella in a substantially circular shape. The patella pad is sewn to the knee pad with tension so as to form a patella receiving hole and form a space between the knee pad and the patella pad.
Further, the patella receiving hole has a substantially circular shape or a substantially circular shape with a small opening at the upper part, and is configured to allow a minute movement of the catcher's patella in the vertical direction. be.

本発明によれば、キャッチャーの膝蓋骨が略円形の膝蓋骨受け孔にはまり込み、膝保護部がキャッチャーの膝によく追随して安定し、キャッチャーが脚部を激しく動かした場合でも、膝保護部の装着位置のずれが起こることなくキャッチャーの膝部を十分に保護できる。また、キャッチャーが膝を地面に激しくぶつけた場合でも、膝パッドと膝蓋骨用パッドとの間に形成された空間部内の空気がクッションとなって衝撃をやわらげ、膝を十分に保護できる。 According to the present invention, the catcher's patella fits into the substantially circular patella receiving hole, the knee protector follows the catcher's knee well and stabilizes, and even when the catcher moves the leg violently, the knee protector The knees of the catcher can be sufficiently protected without shifting the mounting position. Further, even when the catcher hits the knee violently against the ground, the air in the space formed between the knee pad and the patella pad acts as a cushion to soften the impact and sufficiently protect the knee.

以下、図示の実施形態に基づき本発明を詳説する。
本発明のレッグガードは、図１に示すように、装着者（キャッチャー）の脚部を保護するために装着されるレッグガード本体１から成り、例えば、野球やソフトボール等の球技のキャッチャーの脚部に装着される。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the leg guard of the present invention comprises a leg guard main body 1 that is attached to protect the leg of the wearer (catcher), and is, for example, the leg of a catcher for ball games such as baseball and softball. It is attached to the part.

レッグガード本体１は、キャッチャーの大腿下端部を保護する大腿下端保護部２と、キャッチャーの膝を保護する膝保護部３と、キャッチャーの脛を保護する脛保護部６と、キャッチャーの足の甲を保護する足甲保護部７と、キャッチャーの脚部の側部を包囲する脚包囲部８と、を備えている。 The leg guard body 1 includes a thigh lower end protection portion 2 that protects the lower end of the thigh of the catcher, a knee protection portion 3 that protects the catcher's knee, a shin protection portion 6 that protects the catcher's shin, and an instep of the catcher. The instep protection portion 7 that protects the catcher and the leg surrounding portion 8 that surrounds the side portion of the leg portion of the catcher are provided.

大腿下端保護部２と、膝保護部３と、脛保護部６とは、レッグガード本体１をキャッチャーの脚部に装着するための取付ベルト９を有する。装着に際しては、取付ベルト９の先端の取付具は、大腿下端保護部２、膝保護部３、脛保護部６の各々の取付ベルト９の位置と反対側に配設された受け具（図示省略）に挿入される。 The thigh lower end protection portion 2, the knee protection portion 3, and the shin protection portion 6 have a mounting belt 9 for attaching the leg guard main body 1 to the leg portion of the catcher. At the time of mounting, the mounting tool at the tip of the mounting belt 9 is a receiver arranged on the opposite side to the position of each mounting belt 9 of the thigh lower end protection portion 2, the knee protection portion 3, and the shin protection portion 6 (not shown). ) Is inserted.

大腿下端保護部２と、膝保護部３と、脛保護部６と、足甲保護部７と、脚包囲部８とは、人工皮革、合成皮革、ポリエステル生地、ナイロン生地、エラストマー等から成る表皮と、ポリウレタン、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ＥＶＡ等から成る発泡体とを積層して構成される。なお、表皮と発泡体に加え、衝撃吸収材を積層するも好ましい。 The lower thigh protection portion 2, the knee protection portion 3, the shin protection portion 6, the instep protection portion 7, and the leg surrounding portion 8 are skins made of artificial leather, synthetic leather, polyester fabric, nylon fabric, elastomer, or the like. And a foam made of polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, EVA, etc. are laminated. In addition to the skin and the foam, it is also preferable to laminate a shock absorbing material.

大腿下端保護部２と、膝保護部３と、脛保護部６と、足甲保護部７と、脚包囲部８とは、図２に示すように、（一点鎖線をもって示すように）縫着20して連結され、各部が柔軟で屈曲自在となるように構成される。膝保護部３の裏面側に、膝パッド４を有し、膝パッド４の下端部に、脛保護部６が縫着20され、脛保護部６に脚包囲部８が縫着20され、脛保護部６の下端部に足甲保護部７の上端部が縫着20され、脛保護部６と脚包囲部８の間に挟まれる形で足甲保護部７は垂設される。膝パッド４は、脛保護部６が縫着20される下端部の直上に、構造補強のための継ぎ補強部10を有している。 The lower end thigh protection part 2, the knee protection part 3, the shin protection part 6, the instep protection part 7, and the leg surrounding part 8 are sewn together (as shown by the alternate long and short dash line) as shown in FIG. 20 are connected and each part is configured to be flexible and flexible. The knee pad 4 is provided on the back surface side of the knee protection portion 3, the shin protection portion 6 is sewn 20 on the lower end portion of the knee pad 4, the leg surrounding portion 8 is sewn 20 on the shin protection portion 6, and the shin is sewn 20. The upper end portion of the instep protection portion 7 is sewn 20 to the lower end portion of the protection portion 6, and the instep protection portion 7 is vertically suspended so as to be sandwiched between the shin protection portion 6 and the leg surrounding portion 8. The knee pad 4 has a joint reinforcing portion 10 for structural reinforcement directly above the lower end portion where the shin protection portion 6 is sewn 20.

膝パッド４の裏側には、膝蓋骨受け孔５ａを略中央部に形成した膝蓋骨用パッド５が縫着されている。膝蓋骨用パッド５は、略中央部にキャッチャーの膝蓋骨（ひざの皿）を受けるための膝蓋骨受け孔５ａを有するドーナツ型である。なお、図１では、膝蓋骨用（ドーナツ型）パッド５及び膝蓋骨受け孔５ａが、１度の縫製作業で形成されるように縁巻き部５ｂがひとつながりとなった例、すなわち膝蓋骨用パッド５の上部に小開口部15が存在する例を図示したが、図４の変形例に示すように、膝蓋骨受け孔５ａを閉略円形に形成しても良い。この図４の場合には、パッド５の縁全体の縁巻き部５ｂとは別に、略中央部の膝蓋骨受け孔５ａの縁巻き部５ｂの縫製を行う。 A patella pad 5 having a patella receiving hole 5a formed in a substantially central portion is sewn on the back side of the knee pad 4. The patella pad 5 is a donut type having a patella receiving hole 5a for receiving the catcher's patella (knee plate) at a substantially central portion. In addition, in FIG. 1, an example in which the patella pad 5 and the patella receiving hole 5a are connected to each other so that the patella receiving hole 5a is formed by one sewing operation, that is, the patella pad 5. Although an example in which the small opening 15 is present in the upper part is shown, the patella receiving hole 5a may be formed in a substantially circular shape as shown in the modified example of FIG. In the case of FIG. 4, apart from the edge winding portion 5b of the entire edge of the pad 5, the edge winding portion 5b of the patella receiving hole 5a in the substantially central portion is sewn.

膝蓋骨用パッド５は、一定の張力をもって平面状になるように膝パッド４に縫着され、弯曲状の膝パッド４との間に空間部Ｓを形成する。膝蓋骨用パッド５が、張力をもって張られていることで、膝蓋骨受け孔５ａの縁部がキャッチャーの膝蓋骨（ひざの皿）に密着し、ストライクゾーンを大きく左右に外れたボールを受ける際に脚部が激しく動いた場合にも、膝蓋骨が膝蓋骨受け孔５ａから外れることなく、膝保護部３が左右にずれることを防止できる。 The patella pad 5 is sewn to the knee pad 4 so as to be flat with a constant tension, and forms a space portion S with the curved knee pad 4. Since the patella pad 5 is stretched with tension, the edge of the patella receiving hole 5a is in close contact with the catcher's patella (knee plate), and the leg portion when receiving a ball that is largely off the strike zone to the left or right. Even when the knee moves violently, the patella does not come off from the patella receiving hole 5a, and the knee protection portion 3 can be prevented from shifting to the left or right.

また、図３に示すように、キャッチャーが立位（図３（Ａ）参照）から座位（図３（Ｂ）参照）に、また座位（図３（Ｂ）参照）から立位（図３（Ａ）参照）に姿勢を変えた時に、キャッチャーの膝蓋骨が膝蓋骨受け孔５ａに常時収容（保持）されており、パッド５とニーカップ（膝保護部）３を含むレッグガード上半部位は、キャッチャーの膝から、左右上下方向にほとんど位置ずれせず、追随する。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the catcher changes from a standing position (see FIG. 3 (A)) to a sitting position (see FIG. 3 (B)) and from a sitting position (see FIG. 3 (B)) to a standing position (FIG. 3 (B)). When the posture is changed to A)), the patella of the catcher is always housed (held) in the patella receiving hole 5a, and the upper half of the leg guard including the pad 5 and the knee cup (knee protection part) 3 is the catcher's. It follows from the knee with almost no displacement in the left, right, up and down directions.

なお、膝蓋骨受け孔５ａは、その左右縁部はキャッチャーの膝蓋骨に密着するが、上下縁部においてはキャッチャーの膝蓋骨と微小隙間を形成するように設定するのも望ましく、試合中にキャッチャーが容易に立ち上がり、また座ることができると同時に、脚部が激しく動いた場合に膝保護部３が左右にずれることを防止できる。 The left and right edges of the patella receiving hole 5a are in close contact with the catcher's patella, but it is also desirable to set the upper and lower edges so as to form a minute gap with the catcher's patella, so that the catcher can easily perform during the game. At the same time as being able to stand up and sit down, it is possible to prevent the knee protection portion 3 from shifting to the left or right when the legs move violently.

さらに、弯曲状の膝パッド４との間に空間部Ｓを形成したため、試合中にキャッチャーが膝を地面に激しくぶつけた場合でも、膝蓋骨により膝蓋骨受け孔５ａが塞がれ、空間部Ｓ内の空気層がクッションとなって、衝撃をやわらげ、キャッチャーの膝部のけがを防止できる。 Further, since the space portion S is formed between the curved knee pad 4 and the knee pad 4, even if the catcher hits the knee violently against the ground during the game, the patella blocks the patella receiving hole 5a and the space portion S is formed. The air layer acts as a cushion to soften the impact and prevent the catcher's knee from being injured.

本発明は、設計変更可能であって、例えば、膝蓋骨用パッド５の形状は、膝パッド４との間に空間部Ｓを形成できる限り、図示以外の形状でも可である。また、大腿下端保護部２、膝保護部３、脛保護部６、足甲保護部７、脚包囲部８、等の各部材の形状についても、膝蓋骨用パッド５（膝蓋骨受け孔５ａ）及び膝パッド４の構成に影響を与えない限りにおいて変更自由である。 The present invention can be changed in design. For example, the shape of the patella pad 5 may be a shape other than the one shown in the figure as long as the space S can be formed between the pad 5 and the knee pad 4. Further, regarding the shape of each member such as the thigh lower end protection portion 2, the knee protection portion 3, the shin protection portion 6, the instep protection portion 7, and the leg surrounding portion 8, the patella pad 5 (patella receiving hole 5a) and the knee It can be changed freely as long as it does not affect the configuration of the pad 4.

以上のように、本発明は、膝パッド４を備えた膝保護部３を有するレッグガードに於て、上記膝パッド４に縫着された膝蓋骨用パッド５を備え、該膝蓋骨用パッド５に、キャッチャーの膝蓋骨を受ける略円形の膝蓋骨受け孔５ａを形成したので、膝蓋骨受け孔５ａの縁部がキャッチャーの膝蓋骨（ひざの皿）に密着し、ストライクゾーンを大きく左右に外れたボールを受けるため脚部が激しく動いた場合にも、膝蓋骨が膝蓋骨受け孔５ａから外れることなく、膝保護部３が左右にずれることを防止できる。 As described above, in the leg guard having the knee protection portion 3 provided with the knee pad 4, the patella pad 5 sewn to the knee pad 4 is provided, and the patella pad 5 is provided with the patella pad 5. Since a substantially circular patella receiving hole 5a that receives the catcher's patella is formed, the edge of the patella receiving hole 5a is in close contact with the catcher's patella (knee plate), and the leg is to receive the ball that is far from the strike zone to the left and right. Even when the portion moves violently, the patella does not come off from the patella receiving hole 5a, and the knee protection portion 3 can be prevented from shifting to the left or right.

また、上記膝パッド４と上記膝蓋骨用パッド５との間に、空間部Ｓを形成するように、上記膝蓋骨用パッド５が張力をもって上記膝パッド４に縫着されているので、キャッチャーがストライクゾーンを下に大きく外れたボールを受けるとき等に、膝を地面に激しくぶつけた場合でも、膝蓋骨により膝蓋骨受け孔５ａが塞がれ、空間部Ｓ内の空気が衝撃をやわらげ、キャッチャーの膝部のけがを防止できる。 Further, since the patella pad 5 is sewn to the knee pad 4 with tension so as to form a space S between the knee pad 4 and the patella pad 5, the catcher is in the strike zone. Even if the knee is hit hard against the ground, such as when receiving a ball that has come off significantly below, the patella blocks the patella receiving hole 5a, the air in the space S softens the impact, and the catcher's knee You can prevent injuries.

また、上記膝蓋骨受け孔５ａは、閉略円形状、乃至、上部に小開口部15のある略円形状であって、キャッチャーの膝蓋骨の上下方向の微小な動きを許容するように構成されているので、試合中にキャッチャーが容易に立ち上がり、また座ることができる。 Further, the patella receiving hole 5a has a substantially circular shape or a substantially circular shape with a small opening 15 at the upper part, and is configured to allow a minute movement of the catcher's patella in the vertical direction. Therefore, the catcher can easily stand up and sit down during the match.
