Protective gear

This case is a kind of protective gear, especially a protective device that is quiet and silent and has a comprehensive adhesive effect.

According to the occasion of the use of protective gear by our people, more common ones, such as wristbands, elbow pads, knee pads, waist protectors or ankle guards, can be described as dazzling.

The conventional protective gear is mainly obtained by cutting and sewing the sheet-like elastic body, and the appropriate surface and the movable end of the protective device are sewn with a fastening tape to fix and tightly bind the protective device to the user. In order to firmly bind the protective device to the moving part of the human body, such as a knee or an ankle, the protective device even uses a buckle to make the protective device have a double binding effect. Therefore, the conventional protective gears are mostly provided with a fastening tape at the movable end and the corresponding position, so as to achieve the purpose of fastening each other and fixing the protective gear. However, the above-mentioned protective gear has the following disadvantages: 1. The friction coefficient of the material used in the protective gear is about 0.5 or less, so it can only be partially adhered by the adhesive tape provided on the appropriate surface and the movable end of the protective gear, and cannot be fully integrated. The effect of the adhesive bond; 2, the wrap layer of the protective device often causes sliding relaxation due to physical activity, and thus loses the function of the protective gear; 3. The hook surface and the loop surface of the adhesive tape on the protective device are limited to be viscous The area of the buckle is not large, and the position is not easy to be worn, so that it is uncomfortable to wear; 4. The harsh sound of the adhesive strip on the protective cover is greatly limited, and the use range is greatly limited; 5. The thick adhesive strip affects the wearing of the protective device. The comfort is easy to hook up the clothes; and 6, the protector is easy to fail due to the adhesion of the adhesive tape to the foreign body, thereby losing the restraint function.

For example, in the wristband (Wrist Brace) shown in the U.S. Patent No. 5,513,657, since the wristband is not sewn by a high friction coefficient material, the sheet-like elastic body of the wristband is wound around the wrist, which is liable to cause The wound layer of the sheet-like elastic body moves due to each other, and the sliding is loosened. Improvement, so the appropriate position of the wristband must be installed with a plurality of sets of fastening tapes, for example, the plurality of sets of fastening tapes shown in the component numbers 14, 27, 59, 61, 63 of Fig. 1 are fixed one by one. Attach the brace to your wrist.

The above-mentioned wristbands use a fastening tape, in addition to increasing the material cost, and the wristband becomes thick and hard, and the sewing cost is increased; in addition, the use of the fastening tape can only achieve partial partial fastening effect, so that it must be prepared In a variety of sizes, such as XL, L, M and S, it is also difficult to achieve full adhesion and fine adjustment to meet the needs of different users, and needs to be improved.

The tension-free state allows the user to wear it easily without worrying about the bounce of the brace.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a protective device, wherein the sheet-like body having a high coefficient of friction has a function similar to a fastening tape, and can produce a comprehensive fastening effect, so that only at least one fixing piece is required to cover the sheet-like body. At the active end, the movable end can be prevented from being lifted by an external force, and the protective device can be prevented from being bounced off.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a protective device which, due to the circular arc curve of the body of the human body, can be attached to the sheet body when the sheet body is wound around the body, and when the length of the fixing piece is When approaching one and a half of the circular arc of the body, the front and rear ends of the fixing piece are necessarily in different planes of the body, so as to ensure that the front and rear ends of the fixing piece are not picked up by external force at the same time, and the movable end of the sheet body can be maintained. It is always pressed by one end of the fixing piece to prevent the protective device from coming loose.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a protective device, the fixing piece is provided with a notch, so that the external force can not pick up all the fixing pieces, so as to be suitable for a part with a large curved curve of the body, such as a waist or a leg, etc., the finite length Fixing piece, the front and rear ends must be in a curveless position, when the entire fixing piece is easy When the external force is simultaneously lifted, the notch can divide the fixing piece into two sections to interrupt the conduction of the force, so as to maintain the movable end of the sheet body being pressed by one end of the fixing piece to prevent the looseness of the protective piece. Take off.
