Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved fastening system, and to articles of manufacture incorporating the improved fastening system, especially to improved wrist supports incorporating to the improved fastening system.
  • the strap has been made of a material that comprises a first part of the two-part fastener system, and the a second part of the two-part fastener system has been placed on the free end of the strap such that both parts of the two-part fastener system can be made to contact each other when the strap is pulled around the ring, thereby securing the strap to itself.
  • the strap has the tendency once pulled through the ring to slide back through the ring before it can be pulled around the ring and secured back upon itself.
  • the joint support is a wrist support intended to placed on one hand, the wrist support has multiple such rings and cooperating straps, and the user has only one hand free. It can be extremely difficult and frustrating in such cases to get the straps secured properly.
  • an article of manufacture comprising a fastening system comprising a ring and a strap intended to be pulled through said ring, wherein the improvement comprises a loop of material positioned on said strap in such a way as to prevent said strap once pulled through said ring from slipping back through said ring and thereby disengaging from said ring.
  • the invention further relates to a method of securing the straps of the inventive article of manufacture, said method comprising:
  • Figure 1 is a combined top and side view of a wrist support according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a combined bottom and side view of a wrist support according to the present invention.
  • Figure 3 is a combined top and side view of a wrist support according to the present invention showing the center strap unsecured.
  • Figure 4 is a view of the wrist support shown in Figure 3 taken along line 4-4.
  • Figure 5 is a top view of a wrist support according to the present invention with all straps unsecured.
  • Figure 6 is a side view of a wrist support according to the present invention.
  • Figure 7 is a top view of a splint to be used in a wrist support according to the present invention.
  • Figure 8 is a side view of a splint to be used in a wrist support according to the present invention.
  • Figure 9 is a top view of a flexible stay to be used in a wrist support according to the present invention.
  • Figure 10 is a side view of a flexible stay to be used in a wrist support according to the present invention.
  • the ring is of the so-called “reversing” variety, as explained above.
  • the strap is pulled through the ring, and around the ring, and then back upon itself and secured to itself.
  • a two-part fastener system for example, NELCRO (hook-and-loop fastening system).
  • the strap comprises a first part of said two-part fastener system
  • the loop of material is positioned on the free end of the strap
  • the loop of material comprises a second part of said two-part fastener system
  • the strap is secured to itself by fastening said second part of said two-part fastener system to said first part of said two-part fastener system.
  • the article of manufacture is a wrist support comprising:
  • Figure 1 illustrates the most preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein the article of manufacture is a wrist support 10.
  • the wrist support comprises a first sheet of material 11 and a second sheet of material 12, which are integrated to form a sleeve, which can be pulled over the hand and positioned about the wrist to provide support to the wrist.
  • the first sheet of material can be of any type, but is preferably an inelastic material, in order to provide support to the wrist.
  • the first sheet of material can be, for example, the one-eighth inch thick double needle bar spacer fabric (100% polyester), which is available from Gehring Textiles, Inc., New York, New York.
  • the second sheet of material also can be of any type, but is preferably an elastic material, in order to provide flexibility and to facilitate the pulling of the wrist support over the hand.
  • the second sheet of material can be, for example, the stretchable micro fleece (68% nylon, 19% polyester, 13% spandex), which is available from Maiden Mills Industries, Inc., Lawrence, Massachusetts.
  • the wrist support is secured about the wrist and made tight about the wrist by a series of rings and straps.
  • the wrist support shown in Figure 1 has reversing rings 13, 14, which are secured to first sheet 11 by fabric loops 15, 16, respectively, and cooperate with straps 17, 18, respectively.
  • a third strap 19 is centrally positioned between straps 17, 18, and cooperates with itself without the benefit of reversing rings.
  • the wrist support is further provided with'a pocket 21, which receives splint 22, which is shown in greater detail in Figures 7 and 8.
  • the pocket is open on an end thereof so that the splint can be inserted into the pocket or removed therefrom as desired.
  • the pocket can be formed of any desired material.
  • the splint is preferably made of rigid material, for example, a metal such as aluminum or titanium or an alloy thereof, and, as shown in Figure 8 has a curved configuration to approximate the curvature of the palm of the hand.
  • the wrist support is provided on both ends of first sheet 11 with a further pocket 91, which receives flexible stay 92, which is depicted in greater detail in Figures 9 and 10.
  • Flexible stay 92 provides further support to the top of the hand and wrist, and are preferably made of 100% polypropylene or other non-rigid plastic and/or metal variation.
  • Figure 5 shows the wrist support prior to use, i.e., with all of the straps unsecured. Straps 17, 18 are provided on the free end thereof with loops of material 31, 32, respectively. The user inserts his or her hand into the sleeve formed by first sheet 11 and second sheet 12. Loop of material 31 is then fed through reversing ring 13 and loop of material 32 is fed through reversing ring 14. As seen more clearly in Figures 3, once the loops of material are fed through the respectively reversing rings, the loops of material prevent the straps to which they are adhered from sliding back through the reversing rings and disengaging therefrom.
  • each of straps 17-19 are preferably made of a material which comprises a first part of a two- part fastener system, for example, NELCRO (hook-and-loop fastening system), and, as shown in Figure 4, the free end of each comprises a second part 41 of said two-part fastener system on the side of the free end intended to contact with said first part.
  • NELCRO hook-and-loop fastening system

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un article manufacturé comportant un système de fixation constitué d'une boucle (13-14) et d'une patte (17-19) conçue pour être passée dans ladite boucle (13-14). L'invention comporte une amélioration, en l'occurrence une boucle d'un matériau (32) positionnée sur la patte de façon à l'empêcher, une fois passée dans la boucle, de refluer dans la boucle, et donc de se dégager de la boucle. Selon un mode de réalisation, l'article manufacturé est un bracelet de soutien (10), les boucles contrariantes disparaissant au profit d'une patte conçue pour être passée dans la boucle. La patte est alors rabattue en arrière et tenue rabattue sur elle-même.
