1250870 玖、發明說明: 【明所雇領3 交互參考之相關申請案 這是先前在2001年10月23日提申之美國專利申請案第 5 10/004,469號之部份連續申請案,且該先前申請案本身是在 2001年5月2日提申之美國專利申請案第〇9/846,332號之部 份連續申請案,在此依35 U.S.C· §120主張其申請日之優先 權。 發明領域 10 本發明係大致有關於一種整形支持物並且,特別是有 關於一種用於製造在使用時具有較佳壓縮支持力,體熱保 持力,及可透氣性之彈性壓縮鬆緊帶之複合材料。 L先前技術3 發明背景 15 彈性壓縮鬆緊帶係可以許多種形式來使用,通常這些 鬆緊帶係由柔軟、彈性材料構成,因此當被穿戴時,它們 為一受傷之關節提供某種程度之支持。這些鬆緊帶,經常 是在沒有一處方箋或不需要熟練之專業裝配技術之情形下 購買,且已被使用多年並且已通常被用來作為膝部、踝部、 20大腿、手腕、手肘、胸部、或下背部用之鬆緊帶。這些有 彈性、可撓曲之壓縮鬆緊帶可以在扭傷、關節炎、肌鍵炎、 黏液囊炎、發炎時,或在手術後使用時減少不舒適感或治 療外傷後之不舒適感時穿戴。 該彈性壓縮鬆緊帶經f是由合成橡膠(如聚氯丁稀)所 1250870 製成,這種特殊之材料是必要的,因為其有利性質之組合 對於彈性壓縮鬆緊帶是有用的。聚氯丁烯橡膠具有良好之 彈性及相當高的密度,藉此提供良好之壓縮支持及抗剪力 性。 5 聚氯丁烯橡膠是一封閉室材料且因此在使用時無法非 常良好地散熱,其封閉室特性可以在使用時藉由將放射出 之熱反射回去並進入受影響區域之骨骼及關節而用於保持 熱,這種熱之局部集中有助血液流動、有助於減少浮腫、 及使軟組織比較不會受傷。 10 雖然在彈性壓縮鬆緊帶中使用聚氣丁烯橡膠會集中 熱,但是該封閉室材料防止散熱之自然傾向會對使用者造 成問題。當穿戴時,該聚氣丁烯材料鬆緊帶被拉伸以在該 受影響之身體區域四週施加一壓縮負載。伴隨著該材料之 高密度及缺少通過該材料之空氣循環與散熱,這壓縮套合 15 會產生熱的不舒適感及流汗並且可能會出現熱疹。長期使 用這種鬆緊帶會使得使用者不斷地流汗,產生會讓使用者 經常永久停止穿戴該鬆緊帶之不舒服感覺。事實上,該材 料本身決定了該整形用鬆緊帶可穿戴之時間長度,使用者 在大約一至兩小時後停止穿戴這種鬆緊帶並非不常見,為 20 了提供更好的透氣性,某些習知之聚氣丁橡膠鬆緊帶已被 製成具有穿透該材料之全長上之多數穿孔或孔洞。但是, 這些鬆緊帶無法保持足夠之結構完整性以作為一供穿戴者 使用之有效之壓縮鬆緊帶,因為聚氣丁橡膠材料由這些鬆 緊帶中去除了。 1250870 因此,一種具有足夠結構強度及完整性以提供一足夠 之壓縮支持力,且在使用時,特別是在長時間使用時,也 會散熱以減少或避免不當之流汗與熱不舒適感之彈性壓縮 鬆緊帶是有必要的。 5 【發明内容I 發明概要 本發明提供一用於壓縮鬆緊帶等之複合材料,其中該 複合材料包含一可彈性拉伸之第一層;一可撓第二層,係 固定於該第一層;一第三層,包括一固定於該第二層之分 10 隔織物;及一可撓第四層,係固定於該第三層。該第一層 不會是最外層,因為一外層會覆蓋該第一層。 在本發明之一實施例中,該彈性外層包括多數通過其 中之裂口,以允許且促使空氣橫向流動通過該複合材料。 本發明之一實施例提供一用於形成彈性壓縮鬆緊帶之 15 可撓、彈性複合材料,以藉由壓縮包圍且支持一身體部份。 該複合材料包括一中央彈性層,一内織物層與一外織物 層。較佳地,該彈性中央層包含片狀之封閉室材料,該封 閉室材料在其一側上具有多數形成於其中之互相交叉之溝 槽或管道,以形成一柵型態。該等管道之圖案可沿著該中 20 央層之寬向與長向產生多數通道,使受到支持之身體部份 可散熱與排汗。 該中央層亦可具有多數延伸通過該層之全深度且分配 在該層之表面區域上的切口,且該中央層更具有足夠之結 構強度與完整性以提供整型壓縮支持。 1250870 該複合材料亦可包括一内層,該内層係由與該中央層 之具有溝槽側結合之可撓、彈性、多孔性織物材料製成。 該外層亦可由一與該中央層之不具有溝槽側結合之可撓、 彈性、多孔性材料構成。 5 在本發明之一實施例中,該等延伸通過該中央層之多 數切口係弧形裂口一例如,在大約180°與270°之間延伸 之圓形裂口一該等弧形裂口界定出一與該中央層樞接之凸 片陣列,使得拉伸該複合材料會在該中央層中產生多數間 隙,藉此在該等内與外層之間產生空氣流動通道。 10 在本發明之另一實施例中,該複合材料包括一彈性外 層,一第一織物層,一分隔織物層,及一第二織物層。該 分隔織物層提供使空氣可橫向流動通過該複合材料之輕質 組件。 圖式簡單說明 15 本發明之前述特性及許多附帶優點將可在其藉由在配 合附圖參考以下詳細說明而更容易了解,其中: 第1圖是一側面圖,半示意地顯示一依據本發明之原理 由一整形材料製成之膝鬆緊帶; 第2圖是顯示在第1圖中之膝鬆緊帶之半示意性立體 20 圖; 第3圖是一橫截面圖,其示意性地顯示本發明之一複合 整形材料之組件;

之原理由一整形材料製成 之膝鬆緊f 20,該整形材料係 a ^ 頌不在弟3、4與5圖中,該膝 氣、緊V疋-由-在第3、4與5圖中所示 複合材料100所製成之竿軟敕 σ Α、弹, b A、 A麵鬆緊帶。該解》合材料 係被切告彳而成形且被縫合或組 10 15 20 9Π 、衣乂形成—管狀膝鬆緊帶 20,如弟1與2圖所示。 細第1與2圖,一片呈扁平狀之複合材料竭在其 本身上折豐,在該折疊物之相對側上之重疊長邊緣係藉— 長、直立之接縫50加㈣定,該扁平狀之材料係被切割成 一形狀,使得當沿著接縫50、縫合時,如第_圖所示,可 產生-具有-開口頂糊與—開〇底㈣之大致管狀之彎 曲膝支持物。在上緣處之週邊縫合部崎在底緣處之類似 週邊縫合部90提供該完叙膝切物之精加工邊緣。 包含該複合材料100之組件係顯示於第3、4與5圖中, 第3圖顯示-橫截面,其顯示本發明之複合材料剛之組 件。該複合材料包括-撓性且可折#之中央彈性層⑽〜 内織物層130,及一外織物層12〇。該中央彈性層⑽係以由 一呈片狀之封閉室發泡材料形成為佳。較佳之彈性封閉室 材料是聚氯丁橡膠,通常被稱為氯丁橡膠,較佳之氯丁橡 膠材料是商品。中央彈性層110之另一種適當材料是苯乙埽 10 !25〇87〇 丁二烯橡膠(SBR),這些材料係可在—大密度範圍中使用, 因此不難制具有-可在使㈣提供所需之支持程度且提 供良好之整形壓縮之所需密度之材料。理想地,可達成本 發明之目的之這種材料之厚度是15_至8職,但是,也 可以使用其他厚度。同時,也可錢用其轉性封閉室材 料來形成層110。 10 …該中央彈性層11〇在其—側上已形成有多數交又溝槽 或管道刚,在-非限制性例中,本發明之一實施例顯示這 種型態之交又管道係II由將氣τ橡膠片材放在_金屬網上 幻妾著將-稱重過之熱源放在該扁平片材頂部上而形成。 I力14熱將使4金屬網壓人該片材中以在該栅型態之金屬 網被壓人該片材之底側上永久地形成該金屬網之形狀。該 金屬網可另外地或選擇性地加以預熱。 15 在本毛月之$貝施例中,一種型態之交叉溝槽管道 140係形成在⑻材之兩表面上,這可叫由將該中央層 110夹置在頂與底金屬栅之間且熱壓兩栅於中央層110,使 兩栅[入Μ材之兩側之方式來達成。該柵型態可以在該 中央層110之兩侧上是相同的,或可以是不同之構形。 在第3與4圖所示之每綠合丨+ ^ 例中,多數形成在該中央彈性 層110中之交又管道1轉定出—大致矩形或正方形型態或 桃。规恕可以是住何形狀(如,鑽石形(見第9圖),三角形、 橢圓形、圓形等),〇 榮一 /、要该#管道14〇互相交叉以提供一橫 越該片材且沿著該材料 丁十之縱長連績或互相連接之通道即 可。 20 1250870 該中央彈性層110可以加以穿孔以形成多數通過該層 之穿孔或切口 150,切口 150未顯示於第3圖中以達簡化之目 的’但顯示在第4與5圖中。第4圖是一前平面圖,顯示穿孔 之中央層110之一部份,第5圖是一後平面圖,顯示第4圖所 5 示之該穿孔中央層110之一部份。該等多數切口 150係分散 在中央彈性層110之表面上且延伸穿過該層的全深度,因此 包括汗與空氣等之流體可由該層之一側通過該等切口 15〇 到達另一側,特別是該層被拉伸時。 在本發明之一實施例中,切口 150係僅位在對齊該等管 10 道部份丨4〇處,在另一實施例中,切口 150不僅位在該等管 道140内,而且也在該彈性層11〇之不具溝槽/管道之部份 中。在又一實施例中,該等切口 15〇,僅位在該等管道14〇, 之父叉點處。多數切口 15〇可以為一致之型態且在該中央彈 性層110四週一致地分開。理想地,該等多數切口 15〇應不 15會太大或者該等切口必須一起靠近地分開而使得該氯丁橡 膠材料之整個結構完整性減少到超出該材料之能力以外, 以便在使用時提供足夠之整形壓縮支持。 該等多數切口 150可以具有一切口型態,第4與5圖示該 切口型您具有二支由一共同點放射出來之“腿,,,但是該 20切口型態在不偏離本發明之精神 < 情形下,可以是任何形 狀,如一直線、一曲線、一十字形、或一五支腿型態。此 外’权佳地,該穿孔不會由該中央彈性層ιι〇或管道14〇真 正地移除任何明顯的材料;相反地,該穿孔僅延伸穿過該 等官逼。因此,除非該材料被拉伸,否則該穿孔不會形成 12 1250870 穿過該氯丁橡膠材料之一孔或通道。 σ亥等多數切口 150之型態可以藉多種方法形成在中央 ασ ^ 1 〇中,在5亥氯丁橡膠材料中形成一切口型態之其中 種方法疋藉由將一具有一附有多呈所需切口型態之多數 '凸出打孔器之圓柱形外表面之滾筒滾壓在該氯丁橡膠材料 之扁平表面上而穿刺出呈所需型態之切口。 請再參閱第3圖,複合材料100更包括一柔軟、可撓、 彈丨生夕孔内織物層13〇,内層130可以是一經過編織之可 毹且可折豐、可拉伸之布織物材料,由於該編織織物本身 1〇具有多數小孔,其可供空氣與水通過。複合材料1〇〇也包括 一具有撓性及彈性之多孔外織物層12〇,其也可以由一與層 130相同或不同種類之可拉伸編織織物製成。該内與外織物 層130與120也可分別由包括尼龍、達克龍(Dcar〇n)、或其他 合成纖維之其他可拉伸纖維製成。 15 §该中央彈性層110在其一側上以多數交叉管道140改 、交且以一切口型態15〇穿孔之後,内織物層13〇係結合於中 央層110之有溝槽面,而外織物層12〇係結合於中央層11〇之 热溝槽面。内織物層13〇可使用一防止膠水或其他黏著劑被 置於管道140中之黏著法而黏著於該中央層11〇,如此,該 2〇黏著劑不會封閉或阻塞管道140。外織物層120也被塗上膠 水或以其他方式黏著或結合於中央層11〇,該黏著劑結合該 中央層110之整個接觸表面區域且分別連結内與外織物層 lj〇與120。在此應注意的是該黏著劑不會破壞該中央層H〇 及該内或外層130與12〇之孔隙度。 13 1250870 請參閱第1與2圖,膝鬆緊帶2〇係欲以該有溝槽/管道側 面向穿戴者之身體之方式配戴,這提供將熱保持在身體上 而讓膝鬆緊帶20可以透氣的優點。此外,因為係由該複合 材料製成,它具有在使用時可大致避免產生内部熱量之足 5夠孔隙度。膝鬆緊帶20也在一由膝鬆緊帶2〇以其拉伸狀態 支才寸之身體部份四週提供良好壓縮力,該彈性中央層大致 保持其所有可施加一壓縮負載於欲被支撐之身體部份上之 能力’因為材料並未如在某些習知鬆緊帶中一般地真正地 由該氯丁橡膠中央層上移除。此外,由於該氯丁橡膠、 10 SBR、或其他選定之材料的緣故,膝鬆緊帶2〇具有足夠之 密度可提供必須作為一實用膝鬆緊帶所必須之壓縮力。該 内與外層130與120也為膝鬆緊帶20提供另外的壓力強度。 膝鬆緊帶20亦提供良好之透氣性,當膝鬆緊帶20使用 時,它以一雙向方式拉伸,藉此產生一泵作用以便讓空氣 15 流經膝鬆緊帶20之該等管道140,這將身體之汗帶經管道 140且帶出膝鬆緊帶2〇之末端。膝鬆緊帶20也可讓新鮮、涼 爽之空氣向内通過膝鬆緊帶20而到達身體,對應地,某些 熱量可以經過當該鬆緊帶於使用拉伸時打開之多數切口 150而由膝鬆緊帶20之内側通至外侧。 20 依據本發明之另一特徵,呈膠或顆粒狀之石夕氧樹脂152 可以沿著該膝鬆緊帶20内側及該鬆緊帶縱向,或者在該鬆 緊帶之相對側上塗佈,另外或者替代性地,該石夕氧樹脂粒 15 4可以沿圓周緣地放在該鬆緊帶之内側,或者靠近今彩賢 TfT之末端。該石夕氧樹脂可以具有某寬度之條狀、—& 14 1250870 帶、或以其他型態來塗佈。此外,該矽氧樹脂條或線可以 是直線的或彎曲的,由於該矽氧樹脂與身體間之摩擦力, 這石夕氧樹脂材料可使該鬆緊帶定位在身體上,但是,該矽 氧樹脂不會造成不舒服或不當地摩擦身體。 5 在〆實施例中,該矽氧樹脂可以在該鬆緊帶已完全形 成之後塗佈在膝鬆緊帶20之内部,在另一實施例中,該矽 氧樹脂係/皇佈在膝鬆緊帶之内織物層130内侧且接著該 内層13〇被放在中央層11〇之内側面上。如熟習此項技術者 所知,除了矽氧樹脂以外之其他材料也可在不脫離本發明 1〇之範圍之情形下使用以將該鬆緊帶定位在身體上。 第6至8圖顯示在壓縮鬆緊帶中該複合材料1〇〇之另一 些用途。第6圖顯不一肘鬆緊帶160,其中複合材料1〇〇被折 疊且沿其縱向形成接縫,該鬆緊帶可具有一中間接縫17〇以 形成/大致L形之管狀彈性鬆緊帶,該管狀鬆緊帶之頂與底 15緣具有鏠合之週邊接縫180以強化邊緣。第7圖顯示一由該 複合材料100所製成之腕鬆緊帶190,其中該材料係被折疊 且縱向地形成接縫以形成一在其相對端處具有週邊縫合部 2〇0以強化邊緣之大致筆直之管狀鬆緊帶。第8圖顯示 複合材料H)〇所製成之踝鬆緊帶21〇,該踩鬆緊帶2ι〇係妒成 2〇 =—大虹形管狀鬆緊帶,該大致L形管狀鬆緊帶在其相對 端處具有週邊縫合部220,且在套合於使用者卿跟四週 鬆緊帶之-邊緣部份四週具有週邊縫合部23()。師緊 包括連結該L形躁支持物之中間邊緣之中間縫合部 這些麼縮鬆緊帶可以被用來提供必要程度之解剖學上 15 1250870 之壓縮支持且改善對所支持之區域之通風性以減少由於流 汗與過熱所產生之不舒適感,因此,因為使用者可穿戴較 長之時間而不是由於熱不舒適感而永久地取下該鬆緊帶, 本發明之改良複合材料改善了由在壓縮鬆緊帶所提供且這 5 種材料構成時所形成之解剖學上之支持。 第9圖顯示本發明之另一實施例,其中該複合材料100’ 係具有一具有以一鑽石型態形成於其中之多數交叉管道之 彈性中央層110’,同時,該等切口 150’係位在該等管道140’ 之交叉點處,該等管道140’與切口 150’可如上述般以一相對 10 於中央層110相同或相似方式形成。此外,在其他方面,該 複合材料100’可以相同於或相似於上述材料100。 第10圖顯示本發明之一複合材料之第三實施例之一中 央層210,在這實施例中,該中央層210具有多數延伸通過 該中央層210之整個厚度的弧形裂口 250,該等弧形裂口 250 15 係以大致界定出一全圓之180度至270度之半圓形或部份圓 形裂口者較佳。該等弧形裂口 250界定出多數仍與該中央層 210樞接之凸片部份255,但該等凸片部份255可開啟以便讓 空氣流過該中央層210。該等裂口 250之彎曲幾何形狀在該 中央層210上之一相當短之橫向距離中提供一相當長之裂 20 口。 該等多數弧形裂口 250係排列成矩形、偏離之陣列,如 第10圖所示。該中央層210係以厚度在大約1.5與大約8mm 之間者為佳,且以大約3mm厚為最佳。該等弧形裂口 250具 有在大約3mm與大約10mm之間之直徑D為佳,且以大約 16 1250870 4mm為最佳。裂口之相鄰偏離線係分開(在垂直與水平兩方 向上,如第10圖所示)一以OS表示之偏離量,該偏離量係以 在大約3mm與大約10mm之間為佳,且以大約6mm為最佳。 一使用與上述内與外層120、130(未顯示在第10圖中)結合之 5 該中央層210之複合材料可產生供使用於整型應用,如壓縮 鬆緊帶中之適當壓力強度。 該等裂口 250係在未由該中央層210上移除大量材料之 情形下產生在該中央層210中,因此當該中央層210被放 鬆,或未拉伸時,該等裂口250大致是關閉的。 10 第11圖顯示第10圖之中央層210,且該複合材料沿著縱 向(即第11圖中之左與右)彈性地被拉伸,新月形空氣流動管 道250’在該被拉伸片210中是開啟的。在此可了解的是該等 弧形裂口 250之曲度產生供空氣與濕氣通過該中央層210之 相當大之流動面積,這是部份地由於沿著一隔離該等凸片 15 部份255與在該中央層210中之拉伸應力之邊緣與該中央層 210樞接之該等凸片部份255之幾何形狀所致。因此該等凸 片部份255不會與相對該等凸片部份255之該材料之四週部 份拉伸得一樣多,產生一較大之空氣流動管道250’。 當該中央層210被放鬆時,即,當該等拉伸力量消失 20 時,該新月形空氣流動管道250’關閉,大致回到第10圖所 示之裂口 250。特別地,該等凸片部份255相對與該等凸片 部份255相對之四週材料橫向移動。該等凸片部份255之開 啟與關閉動作在該空氣流動管道250’内產生一泵送作用, 因而增強通過該中央層210之空氣流動。在此可了解的是當 17 1250870 穿戴起一柔軟之壓縮鬆緊帶,如第1與2圖所示之膝鬆緊帶 時,該穿戴者之移動將會使該鬆緊帶彈性彎曲,這種由上 述枚口材料J成之鬆緊帶之彎曲將因此產生一改善通過該 鬆緊帶之空氣流動之空氣泵送作用。此外,當該穿戴者相 )對不動4,穿戴者所產生之熱愈少,由該果送作用所產生 而通過該等空氣管道25〇,之空氣流動愈少。 本發明之一第四實施例之一中央層31〇係顯示在第12 圖中,其中一與第1丨圖所示之中央層21〇大致相同之中央層 310具有多數橫向延伸通過該中央層31〇之内面之長形、淺 10溝槽或官迢340。如以上所詳述者,交叉溝槽34〇之網路提 供多數提昇靠近穿戴者皮膚之空氣流動,沿著該複合材料 之内面之管道。如顯示該中央層之一橫截面圖之第13圖所 示’該等裂口 350係以直接定位於靠近或使該等溝槽34〇交 叉者為佳,因此空氣與蒸氣係被導向該等裂口 350,或者相 15 反地,由該等裂口進入之空氣被導向而進入該等溝槽340。 第14與15圖顯示一使用該中央層310之複合材料300, 該複合材料300包括一以一編織合成纖維層為佳且係黏著 於該中央層310之内表面之彈性内織物層330,一彈性外織 物層320係黏著於該中央層310之外表面。該内與外層320、 20 330係以可讓至少某些弧形裂口 350在該複合材料被拉伸時 得以開啟之方式黏著於該中央層。 該内與外層320、330係多孔的,因此空氣與蒸氣可以 通過該内層330、通過該等弧形裂口 350(當該等裂口係開啟 時)且通過該外層以使氣體排離穿戴者,旅且在相反之方向 18 1250870 通過以在該複合材料下方提供清涼之空氣。第15圖顯示該 複合材料3 00被橫向地拉伸,即在第I5圖中由左至右,由於 該纖維之拉伸,該等裂口 350係在一開啟位置。第14圖顯示 該複合材料300呈一其中該裂口350大致是關閉的未拉伸構 5 形,藉由比較第15圖與第14圖可知依據彎曲與伸展(拉伸與 未拉伸)該複合材料將產生上述之泵送作用,以便於空氣通 過該複合材料。 雖然該較佳實施例之裂口是半圓形的(即,一圓孤之 180-270度),但是也可能是任何多數之其他形狀。例如,可 10 使用產生具有彎曲自由端及樞接後端之長形凸片部份之裂 π 〇 本發明之壓縮鬆緊帶材料400之另一實施例係顯示於 第16圖中,在這實施例中,該多層壓縮鬆緊帶材料4〇〇係一 夾層結構物,包括:⑴一可撓外層410,係以由如聚氣丁烯 15橡膠之封閉室發泡材料製成為佳;(ii)一第一織物層420, 係與該外層410連接;(iii)一分隔織物層425,係與該第一織 物層連接,及(lv)一第二織物層43〇,係與該分隔織物層425 連接。在一實施例中,該等層係以黏著劑互相連接,但亦 可使用包括縫合等在先前技術中眾所週知之其他連接機 20 構。 在此所使用之分隔織物,係指通常在如羅紋針織拉舍 爾(Raschei)經編機之經編機上製成之3D編織物。第17_ 立地顯示該分隔織物層425之稍特殊化之橫截面圖,該分隔 織物層425之特徵在於有時被稱為基礎織物之-對分開面 19 1250870 427、429,而該等面427、429係由多數橫向股線或分隔線 428互相連接,以產生一多孔性輕質織物。該等分隔線428 係相對於股線厚度分開地相當遠,以產生一立體多孔網 目,該立體多孔網目在本發明中具有使空氣可在該等面 5 427、429之間且至少部份與該等面427、429平行地流動的 優點。一適當之分隔線428通常是一聚醯胺或聚酯單長紗, 適當之分隔織物之厚度範圍可由小於lmm至1〇mm41〇mm 以上。 請再參閱第16圖,且如其中之箭號所示,本發明之鬆 1〇緊帶材料400使空氣、熱、與蒸發之汗可橫向通過該第二織 物層430 ’且接著沿著分隔織物層425大致橫向地朝該鬆緊 帶材料400之邊緣移動。在此可發現這複合結構提供一特別 舒適之壓縮包晨,吾人相信這較佳之特性應是與在使用 時,該鬆緊帶材料400可彈性地地包裹在使用者之一部份上 Μ的事實有關。當穿戴該材料時,使用者之動作會在該鬆緊 帶材料400中’且特別是在該分隔織物層425中造成彈性變 形。該分隔織物層425在使用時交替地壓縮與稍微放鬆’= 此產生-泵送作而有助於使空氣沿該分隔織物層仍流^ 通過其中。因此,該材料允許且促進某些空氣在使用者之 附近流動’而該彈性外層410則有助將熱整體地保持在靠近 使用者處,並且有助於提高在被包裹之身體部份處的熱治 療效果。該外層410亦與其他織物層·、奶與43〇共同對 使用者提供必要的壓縮力。在此應了解的是雖然在所述實 施例中所示之外層410係作為最外層,但在本發明中,如: 20 1250870 可撓裝飾層的另一層可與,例如,該外層410之外表面連 接’以改善該材料外表之美觀性,並保護該外層不受到污 染’使得該外表面更平滑與達成在先前技術中習知之目的。 第18圖顯示大致類似於前述壓縮鬆緊帶材料400之壓 5 縮鬆緊帶材料500的另一實施例,該壓縮鬆緊帶材料500包 括一外層510,第一與第二織物層420、430,及一在其間的 分隔織物層425。但是,在此實施例中,該外層510包括刀 數通過該外層510形成之裂口 550,以增加通過該壓縮鬆緊 帶材料500之通風效果。該等通過該外層510之多數裂口 550 10 之優點係已在先前第5與1〇圖所示之實施例中詳細說明過 了’雖然在第18圖中所示者為弧形裂口 550,但是亦可使用 包括單一直線裂口、彎角狀裂口等其他裂口形狀。 在此可輕易了解到該外層510可包括多數沿其内面形 成之橫向溝槽或管道340(顯示於第12圖中),藉此提供一供 15空氣沿著且通過該壓縮鬆緊帶材料500的另一橫向管道。該 等管道340之特徵與優點已在先前詳細說明過了。 雖然本發明之較佳實施例已在此顯示與說明過了,但 是可以在不偏離本發明之精神與範疇之情形在其中進行各 種變化。 20
