Description

Elbow protector

The present invention relates to an elbow protector, and more particularly, to an elbow protector for reducing tension on a muscle causing pain by applying pressure or support to a pain trigger point in order to reduce or prevent pain associated with an elbow such as a tennis or a golfer .

There are many coughs associated with the elbow of the human body. However, it can be traumatic and intrathoracic as a cause of pain in daily life.

Tracheal hypertrophy is generally known as tennis elbow, and due to multiple causes and usually excessive use, micro-stress and tension are applied to cause inflammation of the bone-tendon junction, which is the attachment of the extensor tendon Therefore, when the muscle is used or rested, pain occurs. Traumatic peritonitis is the most common cause of elbow pain, which often affects people outside the elbow, who feel pain in the wrists, who turn their wrists inward and outward, and those whose wrists bend over too much.

Intrathoracic infection is generally known as golfer elbow, which is a complex inflammation of the flexor tendon due to multiple stresses and tensions due to multiple causes and usually excessive use, resulting in pain during use of the affected muscle. Intrathoracic infection is painful inside the elbow and is common in golfers who frequent golf and is common in housewives who have been doing housework for many years, such as laundry and cleaning.

To reduce or prevent the pain associated with trauma and intrathoracic inflammation, devices or devices have been studied to press or support a healthy muscle tissue, such as a trigger point, for example, a tendon or a tendon contact with a tendon .

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2009-0092772 (published on September 01, 2009) presents a "compression lap" and uses a compression lap insert to compress a wounded elbow.

In addition, a number of devices are commercially available, such as pushing the joints of the elbow muscles using a compression pad.

However, such a conventional device is constantly subjected to constant pressure even when the muscle movement is stopped, and there is a problem that the device must be detached to stop the pressure.

Also, due to the fluctuation of the pressing force due to the pressing pad during the exercise, the user is required to keep the desired pressing force by detaching the apparatus from time to time.

Referring to FIG. 1, an elbow protector according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a compression pad 100, a strap 210, a coupling ring 220, and a Velcro tape 230.

In order to reduce or prevent pain due to elbows such as trauma and intrathoracia, the compression pad 100 presses or supports a tense muscle tissue near the point of pain, for example, a tendon or tangue muscle joint that contacts the tendon.

The strap 210 is provided to fix the compression pad 100 to the elbow of the human body, and one end can be fixed to one side of the compression pad. The strap 210 may be secured to the elbow while surrounding the elbow of the human body.

The coupling ring 220 may be secured to the other side of the compression pad 100 and may allow the strap 210 to pass through the inner hole.

The Velcro tape 230 may be formed at the other end of the strap 210 to allow the strap 210 to be coupled thereto.

The elbow protector according to an embodiment of the present invention having such a structure is configured such that when the user attaches the compression pad 100 to the leg muscle joint portion of the elbow and the other end of the strap 210 passes through the coupling ring 220 The strap 210 is pulled and fixed by the Velcro tape 230. The strap 210 then secures the compression pad 100 to the elbow and compresses the muscle muscle joint.

The strap 210 may be formed of a stretchable material so that both ends of the strap may contact the opposite sides of the compression pad 100. In this case, .

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an embodiment of the compression pad in the elbow protector of Fig. 1 along the line a-a '.

Referring to FIG. 2, the compression pad 100 may include an upper pad 110 and a lower pad 120. The upper pad 110 and the lower pad 120 can be coupled by the Velcro tape 131 (132) in the outer region.

The upper pad 110 may be formed of a silicon pad. The upper pad 110 may be formed as a mesh type. The upper pad 110 may be coupled to the strap 210 in FIG.

The upper pad 110 may have a through-hole passing through both sides in an inner region, and a nut 111 may be formed in the through-hole.

The nut 111 may have threads formed on the inner side of the upper pad 110. At both side ends of the nut 111, an engaging portion is formed to cover the outer region of the through hole formed in the upper pad 110 and press- . 2, the outer side of the nut 111 may be formed in a " C "shape by an engaging portion, and the upper pad 110 may be coupled to an inner region of a" C ". The nut 111 can form the engaging portion by pressing on both sides. The nut 111 may be formed with a coupling portion on one side and a coupling portion on the other side by squeezing the other side. The nut 111 may be formed by coupling each component having a coupling portion on one side thereof. The nut 111 may be formed by coupling a circular plate having a hole at the center thereof, in one embodiment, with a circular plate having a dome shape on one side in a state where a coupling portion is formed on one side.

A bolt 112 may be coupled to the nut 111. The bolt 112 can be moved up and down by the nut 111 by the rotation of the bolt 112 by the user.

The lower pad 120 may be formed with a compression ball 121, for example, a silicon ball. The compression ball 121 may compress the elbow joint of the user's muscles to relieve the pain caused by the elbow.

The lower pad 120 may be formed of a surface pad having excellent hygroscopicity.

The contact type dermatitis, the photographed image and the sweat chin can be prevented by the mesh type silicon pad which is the upper pad 110 and the surface pad which is the lower pad 120.

With such a configuration, when the user rotates the bolt 112 while the pressing pad 100 is worn on the elbow, the bolt 112 moves downward. The lower portion of the bolt 112 is brought into contact with the compression ball 121 of the lower pad 120 and the interval between the upper pad 110 and the lower pad 120 is separated by the continuous rotation . However, since the outer regions of the upper pad 110 and the lower pad 120 are coupled to the Velcro tapes 131 and 132, the upper pad 110 and the lower pad 120 are not separated from each other, The pressing force due to the separation between the upper pad 110 and the lower pad 120 is transmitted to the pressing ball 121. The compression ball 121 compresses the muscular muscle joint of the user's elbow according to the compression force transmitted by the rotation of the bolt 112. The user adjusts the rotation of the bolt 112 to adjust the pressing force of the pressing pad 100 as needed.

In addition, if necessary, the user can separate only the lower pad 120 and wash it or replace it with a new lower pad, so that the lower pad in contact with the skin can be kept clean at all times.
