Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pad, and more particularly to a pad suitable for application to knees and elbows.

Generally, for example, in the knee area of ski pants,
A soft material such as urethane foam or synthetic rubber foam is used.

By the way, this type of conventional soft material is in the form of a thin plate, and is designed so as not to interfere with bending and stretching movements. However, the soft material lacks safety because it is in the form of a thin plate as described above, and if a thick soft material is used to improve safety, it has the disadvantage that bending and stretching movements are hindered.

The present invention was made to solve these conventional problems, and its purpose is to provide a pad that can improve safety without restricting body movement.

In the present invention, a plurality of horizontally extending semicircular soft bodies are arranged close to each other in the vertical direction on a base material, and the outer surfaces of these soft bodies are covered with an elastic material. be.

The present invention will be described below based on an illustrated embodiment.

The pad 1 according to this embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
As shown in the figure, a base material 2, a plurality of pad bodies 3 arranged vertically on the base material 2, and pad bodies 3
The pad 1 is made up of a base material 2 and a covering material 4 disposed on the outer surface of the pad body 3, which covers the pad body 3.As shown in FIG.
It is placed on the knee of the person.

The base material 2 is made of thick cloth or the like, and the pad body 3 is made of a soft material such as synthetic resin or rubber foam and has a U-shaped cross section. It is processed so that the wall becomes gradually thinner toward both ends.

The covering material 4 is made of stretchable fabric or the like, and the portion of the covering material 4 located between the adjacent pad bodies 3 is fixed to the base material 2 with a thread material 6 as shown in FIG. Further, the peripheral edge of the covering material 4 is sewn to the base material 2 and is integrated with the base material 2. and,
When the knee is in a straightened state as shown in FIG. 3, a slack 7 occurs in the thread material 6 as shown in FIG. 2, and when the knee is in a flexed state as shown in FIG. I'm starting to do that.

Further, both end portions of the pad 1 are sewn into the inner surface of the front cloth 5a and the back cloth 5b of the pants 5, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

Thus, the outer surface side of the pad 1, that is, the side of the covering material 4, expands and contracts in a bellows-like manner in response to the bending of the knee, and fully follows the movement of the knee. Furthermore, the pad body 3 ensures sufficient safety of the knee.

In addition, since the pad body 3 is formed so that it becomes gradually thinner from the center toward both ends,
When sliding downhill with both knees together, pads 1 do not get in the way of each other.

In addition, in the above embodiment, each pad main body 3
We explained the case where are mutually independent, but
As shown in FIG. 8, they may be integrally connected via a thin wall portion 8. In this way, manufacturing becomes easy.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the slack 7 is formed in the covering material 4 when the knee straightens, but it may be made to follow the movement of the knee only by the elasticity of the covering material 4. .

Furthermore, in the embodiment, the base material 2 and the pants 5
Although the front cloth 5a has been described separately, the front cloth 5a may also serve as the substrate 2. Further, it can also be applied to items other than pants 5, such as shirts or supporters.

The present invention has been described above based on the preferred embodiments, but according to the present invention, the movement of the body is not restricted at all, and the safety of the body can be sufficiently ensured.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A plurality of soft bodies having a substantially U-shape with a semi-cylindrical cross section and gradually thinning from the center to both ends are arranged close to each other in the vertical direction on a base material, and the outer surfaces of these soft bodies are made elastic. What is claimed is: 1. A pad that is covered with a covering material made of a material having the following characteristics, and the covering material is sewn to a base material at a portion between each soft body.
