Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial field of application" This invention is applied to a vehicle such as a motorcycle that bends a corner at a corner and the knees of the driver's knees are laid sideways until the vehicle touches the road surface. The present invention relates to a knee protector for protecting a person.

“Prior Art” Conventionally, as a knee protector of this type, as shown in FIG. 3, a slider pad 12 is detachably attached to the outside of the lower part of both knees of a suit 11 of an upper and lower integrated type by a so-called magic tape. The one attached to was known. Then, when the driver M rides on a motorcycle or the like and bends a sharp corner by leaning his body sideways deeply, the slider pad 12 on the tilted side is brought into contact with the road surface, whereby the driver M I was protecting my knees.

"Problems to be solved by the invention" However, in such a protector, the suit 1
Since the slider pad 12 is attached to 1,
Since the suit 11 must be worn at all times when it is used, it has a drawback that it cannot be used easily.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a simple and inexpensive knee protector.

"Means for Solving the Problem" In order to achieve the above object, the knee protector of the present invention is
A cloth-like protective body made of a flexible material, a knee cup for protecting the knee provided on the protective body, and a belt-shaped attachment with one end fixed to the outer periphery of the protective body. And a slider pad as a road surface contact member detachably attached to the lower portion of the knee cup on the surface of the body of the protector, and the other end of the mounting portion and the body of the protector engage with each other. And a hook-and-loop fastener that engages with the front surface of the protector body and the back surface of the slider pad, respectively.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the knee protector of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a body of a substantially elliptical protector made of a flexible material such as leather, and a shock absorbing material such as rubber is attached to the back surface thereof. At the upper end of the surface of the protector body 1 and substantially the lower half (hatched portion in the figure), an engaging portion 2 that constitutes one of so-called surface fasteners in which a large number of hook-shaped fine fibers are densely formed is provided. Has been formed.
A slider pad 3 having a substantially elliptical plate shape and made of a material having a low friction coefficient, such as a synthetic resin, is removably attached to the lower right portion of the engaging portion 2. That is, on the back surface of the slider pad 3, there is fixed a cloth-like engaging member 4 having an engaging portion forming the other of the surface fasteners in which a large number of loop-shaped fine fibers are densely formed. The slider pad 3 is attached to the surface of the protector body 1 by engaging the engaging portion of the engaging member 4 with the engaging portion 2 of the protector body 1.

Further, one end of three strip-shaped mounting portions 5, 6, 7 is fixed to the outer peripheral portion on one side of the back surface of the protector body 1. These mounting portions 5, 6, 7 are made of a stretchable and flexible material such as rubber. On the back surface of the other end of each of the mounting portions 5, 6, 7 is formed an engaging portion 8, 9, 10 that constitutes the other of the surface fasteners and engages with the engaging portion 2 of the protector body 1. There is.

Further, at the top of the body 1 of the protector, the fastener 1 is provided at the opening.
A pocket 12 to which 1 is attached is provided, and a knee cup 13 formed by laminating synthetic resin and felt is accommodated in the pocket 12. This knee cup 13
Is for protecting the driver's knees from a shock when the vehicle falls.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the knee protector H configured as described above, the slider pad 3 is positioned outside the lower part of the knee B of the left foot A and the protector body 1 is applied to the front surface of the knee B. After that, wrap around the left foot A while pulling the mounting parts 5, 6, 7 and
By engaging 8, 9 and 10 with the engaging portion 2 of the protector body 1, the left foot A is attached.

Such a knee protector H can be easily worn and used with the usual clothes before riding a motorcycle or the like.

Further, since the mounting portions 5, 6, 7 have flexibility and stretchability, they can be securely mounted to different users with appropriate tightening force.

Also, since the slider pad 3 is detachable,
If the knee pad protector H is repeatedly used and the slider pad 3 is worn or damaged, it can be replaced. Then, the slider pad 3 protects the knee during normal running,
Since the knee cups 13 each have a role of protecting the knee at the time of a fall, these can protect the knee more reliably.

Further, the size of the body 1 of the protector is sufficient as long as it covers the front surface of the knee B, so that it can be manufactured at low cost.

In addition, since it is small, it is convenient to store and carry.

Although the knee protector H for the left foot is shown in the above-described embodiment, the protector for the right foot can be provided if the protector H is symmetrical with the protector H.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, the knee protector of the present invention has a cloth-like protector body made of a flexible material, and a belt-like one end portion of which is fixed to the outer periphery of the protector body. And a slider pad as a road surface contact member removably attached to the surface of the protective equipment main body, and the other end of the attaching portion and the protective equipment main body are provided with engaging portions that engage with each other. Since the front surface of the body of the protector and the back surface of the slider pad are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners that engage with each other, the slider pad is located outside the lower part of the knee, and the body of the protector is attached to the knee part by the attachment part. Since it can be installed, it does not require the trouble of changing clothes as in the past, and it is convenient because it can be used with ordinary clothes, and if the slider pad is worn or damaged, replace the slider pad. Can be done. Further, the size of the body of the protector is sufficient if it covers the knee portion, so that the effect that it can be manufactured at low cost can be obtained.
