Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Formation that can be adapted to the shape of an object or limb and method for manufacturing the same The present invention is applied to It relates to a formation that can be adapted to any shape of an object or limb.

According to the molded product of the present invention, the mold is taken while directly applying it to the object or limb to which it is applied. Due to the possibility and the nature of the material of this formation, it is applicable A good formation is obtained which exactly matches the shape and contour of the object or limb.

According to the present invention, the formed product of the present invention can be used to make a faithful impression of the shape of the object or limb to which it is applied. made of a material that is suitable for molding and has sufficient flexibility to allow rapid formation. It is made by This material substance is subject to the influence of the surrounding environment after the molding is completed. It has the property of losing its ability to form.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the material of the inventive formation is polyurethane, silicone and any thixotropic material.

Also, above! ! According to an advantageous aspect of the IvA, the material substance is In combination with an appropriate amount of a substance that causes a transition from an initial atypical state to a typical state under the influence of the environment. can be used.

According to the invention, the material substance of the invention can be applied to the material or to the molding of the shape of the limb. Until it is used for the purpose of obtaining a formed product, it is protected from the influence of the surrounding environment. (preferably in a non-breathable and moisture-proof protective bag). Yes.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the molding of the object is carried out so that the material is kept in a protective bag. After the molding is completed, the protective bag will be removed. Therefore, the material substance is transformed into a regular state by being exposed to the surrounding environment.

According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the material substance is the object to which it is applied or A protection used to block out the effects of the surrounding environment, used to make molds of limbs. After removing the bag, so that the material substance can immediately transition to the regular state after the molding is completed. The time required for mold making is calculated to be sufficiently short.

The formed product of the present invention can be applied to many fields, among which is the protection and comfort of the human body. Useful for applications such as The use of the formed product of the present invention is not particularly limited, but the following examples may be mentioned. The soles of the two types of shoes that can be worn (e.g., sports shoes, especially jogging shoes) ski boots, after-ski boots, skate boots, town shoes ), shoe insoles, seat covers (e.g. office seats, car seats, etc.), breast Covers for seats and backrest seats for children and infants, child protection seats for automobiles, baby carriages covers, pine braces, blankets, pillars for sick patients, pillars for third-degree burns or bedridden patients. , prostheses, fluoroscopic frames (glasses, sunglasses) , ski goggles, diving goggles, etc.); bicycles, motorcycles, sports, Protective helmet for professional use; back part of protective helmet; protection for sports and professional use protective gloves; protective and/or insulating oil; and/or sleeves (each with a good grip); Sports equipment such as racquet handles, ski poles, golf equipment, golf equipment, etc. handlebars, bicycle or motorcycle handles, etc.: sports clothing and professional clothing. ; Protective pads for athletes or musicians (violin players, etc.): toys and cash registers; protective packaging for fragile objects; insulation, especially insulation parts.

The molded product of the present invention can be used in the production of molded products that are used alone (for example, shoes ) or as a bonded product that completely adheres to the target application. Alternatively, it can be used to produce a formed article as a part thereof.

The formed product of the present invention does not require the intervention of a specialized engineer in its formation. actual , each user can configure it according to their own usage. for example, When the user wants to form the insole of the shoe, he presses his foot onto the material. By first making an impression of your foot and making cuts according to the measurements, you can create the shape you want. products can be easily obtained.

The procedure for implementing the invention is as follows.

- According to an embodiment, first of all, the material used for the composition of the invention, in particular polyurethane or Silicone has the property of protecting the surrounding humidity and is reactive with material substances. Do not store in a protective bag.

The material is then molded into the shape of the object, the object to be protected or the object to be formed. Remove the material from the protective bag, mold it into the desired shape, and place it in the surrounding moisture. Let it touch (a little water can be added if necessary). Then, this material The material becomes a regular state within 2 to 20 minutes when exposed to the surrounding environment. change. The time required for this transition depends on the material selected, the desired thickness, and the surrounding environment, transition accelerator or reactant [e.g., sodium bicarbonate (however, polyurethane It depends on whether or not it is used.

According to another aspect, the material of the present invention has a barrier property to the surrounding environment. When stored in a protective bag with Can be used packaged in a film that absorbs moisture around the body. can. In this case, the transition of the material substance to the regular state is accompanied by the removal of the protective bag and the necessary molding. After the removal is completed, the surrounding environment acts on the encapsulated material through the film. This is achieved by

Furthermore, according to one aspect of the present invention, the material of the present invention can be used in capsules containing water or It can be used with microcapsules and both are stored in a protective bag.

In this case, by applying pressure to the protective bag containing both the material and the capsule, The capsule opens and the water acts on the material, which is necessary. The formation is carried out in a sequence in which solidification of the formed object takes place.

Apart from the above-mentioned specific examples, the material according to the invention may also include other materials, namely porous plus Microspheres consisting of ticks - 1 hollow or buffer-like local projections, partially or completely Used by adhering or bonding with one or more types of support, hollow or lightweight porous materials I can be there.

In addition, the formed products of the present invention can be used for immobilizing them or by Velcro (VELC). RO), adhesives, rubber, etc., and appropriate means to adapt to the existing object. can also be supplied.
