Les avantages et les caractéristiques du dispositif de protection de l'arrière de la jambe selon l'invention, ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and characteristics of the device for protecting the rear of the leg according to the invention will become more clearly apparent from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.
Dans le dessin annexé :In the attached drawing:
- la figure 1 représente une vue schématique en plan et avec écorché partiel, d'un dispositif de protection de l'arrière de la jambe selon l'invention, associé à un protège-tibia.- Figure 1 shows a schematic plan view and partially cut away, a device for protecting the rear of the leg according to the invention, associated with a shin guard.
- la figure 2 représente une vue en élévation et de côté, d'une jambe équipée du même protège-tibia et du même dispositif de protection de l'arrière de la jambe selon l'invention. En référence à la figure 1, on peut voir un protège-tibia 1 de conception classique à savoir qu'il comprend une coque 10 en forme de gouttière, réalisée en matière plastique telle que du polypropylène , garnie, au moins du côté concave, d'une couche 11 de matériau souple .- Figure 2 shows an elevational view and side of a leg equipped with the same shin guard and the same protection device of the rear leg according to the invention. Referring to Figure 1, there can be seen a shin guard 1 of conventional design namely that it comprises a gutter-shaped shell 10, made of plastic material such as polypropylene, lined, at least on the concave side, with a layer 11 of flexible material.
Le protège-tibia 1 comporte ainsi deux bords longitudinaux 12 et 13, et, inférieurement et supérieurement deux échancrures, respectivement 14 et 15 qui permettent une adaptation à la morphologie de la jambe.The shin guard 1 thus comprises two longitudinal edges 12 and 13, and, inferiorly and superiorly two notches, respectively 14 and 15 which allow adaptation to the morphology of the leg.
On peut voir également un dispositif 2 de protection de l'arrière de la jambe selon l'invention, qui comprend deux parties 20 et 21, chacune reliée et articulée à un bord longitudinal, respectivement 12 et 13, par l'intermédiaire d'éléments élastiques 16, en sorte de constituer chacune un volet.We can also see a device 2 for protecting the back of the leg according to the invention, which comprises two parts 20 and 21, each connected and articulated to a longitudinal edge, respectively 12 and 13, through elements. resilient 16, so as to constitute each a shutter.
Chacune des parties 20 et 21 est constituée d'une enveloppe 22 en matériau souple, renfermant des renforts 23 en matériau rigide ou semi-rigide, disposés longitudinalement, sensiblement parallèles à l'axe de pivotement par rapport au protège-tibia 1, et maintenu par des surpiqûres 24.Each of the parts 20 and 21 consists of a casing 22 of flexible material, containing reinforcements 23 of rigid or semi-rigid material, arranged longitudinally, substantially parallel to the axis of pivot relative to the shin guard 1, and maintained by topstitching 24.
Le bord libre de chacune des parties 20 et 21 est constitué d'une zone, respectivement 25 et 26, destinée à l'assujettissement des deux parties 20 et 21, et qui à cet effet sont recouvertes, pour l'une 26 sur la paroi avant et pour l'autre 25 sur la paroi arrière, d'un matériau auto-agrippant .The free edge of each of the parts 20 and 21 consists of a zone, respectively 25 and 26, intended for securing the two parts 20 and 21, and for this purpose are covered, for one 26 on the wall before and for the other 25 on the rear wall, a self-gripping material.
Chacune des parties 20 et 21 comporte également, inférieurement et débordant à la fois le bord inférieur du protège-tibia 1 et l'axe de pivotement des parties 20 et 21 avec le protège-tibia, une extension de l'enveloppe 22, respectivement 27 et 28. En référence également à la figure 2, on peut voir l'ensemble constitué du protège-tibia 1 et du dispositif 2 selon l'invention, mis en place sur une jambe 3.Each of the parts 20 and 21 also includes, inferiorly and overflowing both the lower edge of the shin guard 1 and the pivot axis of the parts 20 and 21 with the shin guard, an extension of the casing 22, respectively and 28. Referring also to Figure 2, we can see the assembly consisting of the shin guard 1 and the device 2 according to the invention, placed on a leg 3.
Le protège-tibia 1 est positionné sur l'avant de la jambe 3, tandis que les deux parties articulées 20 et 21, dont seule la partie 21 est visible, sont refermées sur l'arrière de la jambe 3.The shin guard 1 is positioned on the front of the leg 3, while the two articulated portions 20 and 21, of which only the portion 21 is visible, are closed on the back of the leg 3.
Les bandes élastiques 16 permettent l'ajustement à la morphologie de la jambe 3, la fermeture étant réalisée par le matériau auto-agrippant des zones 25 et 26.The elastic bands 16 allow adjustment to the morphology of the leg 3, the closure being made by the self-gripping material of the zones 25 and 26.
Les renforts 23 sont donc disposés sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe de la jambe 3, sur le pourtour de l'arrière de celle-ci, et constituent une protection contre les coups éventuels.The reinforcements 23 are therefore arranged substantially parallel to the axis of the leg 3, on the periphery of the rear of the latter, and provide protection against possible blows.
Les extensions 27 et 28, sont positionnées chacune sur une malléole en sorte d'en assurer la protection. De manière avantageuse, les extensions 27 et 28 comportent intérieurement des éléments amortissants .The extensions 27 and 28 are each positioned on an malleolus so as to ensure protection. Advantageously, the extensions 27 and 28 internally comprise damping elements.
L'ensemble est complété d'une bande 4, solidaire du dispositif 2 au niveau d'une extension 27 ou 28 par exemple, réalisée de préférence en un matériau élastique et munie de moyens d'accrochage, tels qu'un matériau auto-aggripant, et destinée à enserrer la base du dispositif 2 et à le maintenir sur la cheville en passant sous le protège-tibia 1, et notamment à plaquer les extensions 27 et 28 contre les malléoles.The assembly is completed with a band 4 secured to the device 2 at an extension 27 or 28 for example, preferably made of an elastic material and provided with hooking means, such as a self-gripping material and intended to grip the base of the device 2 and hold it on the ankle passing under the shin guard 1, and in particular to press the extensions 27 and 28 against the malleoli.
On notera que le mode de réalisation représenté est le mode de réalisation préférentiel, mais qu'il peut être différent. Ainsi, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, il est possible de concevoir un dispositif de protection de l'arrière de la jambe selon l'invention réalisé en une seule partie, articulée à un bord d'un protège-tibia et solidarisable à l'autre. On notera également qu'il est décrit un dispositif de protection 2 solidaire d'un protège-tibia 1 au travers des éléments élastiques 16, mais on peut tout à fait concevoir un dispositif de protection indépendant d'un protège-tibia, qui peut être associée ou solidarisé à un protège-tibia de type courant par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison et d'accrochage. Dans ce cas , les éléments de liaison peuvent être de conception adaptée et être, par exemple, constitués de bandes aptes à contourner le protège-tibia, et munie de moyens d'accrochage. Note that the embodiment shown is the preferred embodiment, but may be different. Thus, by way of non-limiting example, it is possible to design a device for protecting the rear of the leg according to the invention made in a single part, articulated to an edge of a shin guard and solidarisable to the 'other. Note also that there is described a protective device 2 integral with a shin guard 1 through the elastic members 16, but it is quite possible to design a protective device independent of a shin guard, which can be associated or secured to a shin guard of the current type via connecting means and hooking. In this case, the connecting elements may be of suitable design and be, for example, consist of strips able to bypass the shin guard, and provided with attachment means.
