Description

Method for manufacturing sports protective articles and sports protective articles made thereof

This creative department belongs to the field of manufacturing protective equipment for sports, especially a kind of transport. The utility model relates to a method for manufacturing a sports protective article and a sports protective article made thereof, which is formed into an outer casing for accommodating a cushioning material by using a vacuum forming process, so as to replace the time-consuming and laborious person who traditionally accommodates the bag or the casing.

Press, in modern sports, such as: baseball, American football, usually They will cause equipment or body collisions during the movement, and the impact force will easily cause the athletes to be injured. Therefore, sports protective equipment is usually used according to different needs, for example, the gloves worn by the hockey goalkeeper, the body Protective gear, as well as armor worn by baseball catchers, can not only protect the athlete's body during strenuous exercise, but also take into account the activity during exercise, improve the safety of athletes during sports and the competition. The intensity.

These sports protective equipment are used to effectively cushion the impact of various impacts. In addition to cushioning materials such as silicone, foam and sponge, there must be an outer casing that effectively holds the cushioning material and a soft fabric that fits the body part. However, in addition to facilitating wear and tear, the design of such sports protective equipment is more important because it can not affect the flexibility of the activity. Therefore, how to design a good cushioning effect without affecting the flexibility of the activity. Sports protective equipment is particularly important.

In general, since the cushioning material itself is mostly difficult to shape due to the elastic material, Therefore, it is easy to damage the shape when it is hit. For this reason, most of the casings are made of a hard and lightweight material, or a sewing bag or a receiving box is formed by sewing the fabric. The cushioning material is applied as a fixing.

However, a hard outer casing may affect the flexibility of the event, Therefore, the size of the outer casing design should not be too large, and most of the configurations are used in a large number, and the outer casing is fixed on the fabric by sewing or fitting, and the seam or the joint is also increased in thickness or the line of the car. The tensile force causes a change in hardness or thickness, which in turn affects the effect of movement during exercise; and each shell must be sequentially fixed to the substrate in sequence, which is cumbersome and time consuming, not only efficient. Zhang, and will increase manufacturing costs and subsequent assembly costs. However, the accommodating bag or the accommodating box made of cloth is manufactured by rickshaw sewing, although the shape can be adjusted according to the demand, but the manufacturing efficiency of the rickshaw sewing is not good, and the quality of the finished product is not easy to control, and the repeated Folding the fabric for sewing will also result in an increase in thickness and invisibility in the invisible, as well as flexibility in the event.

In view of this, the creative department provides an effective improvement in production efficiency and finished products. A method for manufacturing sports protective articles with quality and reduced manufacturing cost, and a sports protective article made thereof, which are formed by vacuum forming into a thin shell, and the surface is separated by a plurality of accommodating spaces.

It should be noted that the sheet material has physical properties such as elasticity, flexibility, and ductility, and the present invention is thus applied to a vacuum forming process without breaking.

S3: Filling the filler 2 into each of the accommodating spaces 112. After the forming process of the thin shell 11 is completed, the filler 2 can be sequentially loaded into each of the accommodating spaces 112, and the filling amount can be selected according to requirements, but it is recommended to fill at least 80% or more.

S4: A support material 5 is installed between the filler 2 and the substrate 3, and the support material 5 is selected from a PE sheet having a supporting effect. Furthermore, in order to further enhance the supporting effect during use, the present invention avoids the deformation problem caused by the insufficient strength of the thin casing 11, so that the support is provided between the filler 2 and the substrate 3. Material 5, and for the sake of weight reduction, the support material 5 of the present invention uses a PE sheet.

S5: The bottom surface of the thin casing 11 is sealed by using the substrate 3, so that the filler 2 in each of the accommodating spaces 112 is not released. The substrate 3 and the thin shell 11 are sealed by means of high frequency or hot melt, so that the filler 2 and the support material 5 of the accommodating space 112 are not released, and after that, After the fabric is joined, it can be made to wear as a sport. Dai Zhi sports protective equipment.
