Abstract

Rigid protection structures with a predominantly planar format, even over concave areas of the body, which cover different joints or at least part of the bone making up the joint covered; being tubular, these structures can have curved extremities, flexible connections and pads cladding the tubes, to which rigid plates are added, thereby also making it possible to create cradles of curved tubes and other components without welding and with no rigid connection device. The invention is likewise characterized by: armour for flight equipment, size adjustment by the inclusion of components in the connection devices; padded tubes, a curved base that protects joints; a flexible support for tubular bicycle armour, and by specific components for the legs and feet and for the arms, and structures that advantageously replace a motorcycle airbag; with tubes having both ends curved and connected by means of flexible material, which ends may be folded forwards.

Prior Art

2. In patent application BR 10 2014 027402 2, I presented a portable tubular structure that extended at the sides of the legs, but was large and rigid, which limited protection and made movement difficult.

3. The tubes were in the back, upper and lateral thighs. The only front protection was represented by the passage of the tubes in the areas above the head and on the sides of the legs (or thigh). So there were also gaps very long on the sides.

4. There was not even arm protection.

5. Thus, people expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the protection provided by that structure. So it would be very difficult to convince the consumer to buy and use such a large structure - to deal with its drawbacks - without a more concrete perspective of protection.

6. There was a prediction of bending to the front of the user but only for equipment made of plate, shield type. For the technique for fixing padding materials on flat surfaces was already well known.

7. The head armor was provided, but was fixed to the back only as a backpack, so that the head could also easily be thrown out of the confines of the tubular structure.

8. It was envisaged to fix a part at the bottom for places where there was a risk of serious fall, but it was also entire, all rigid and mostly straight. Thus, it was ineffective to soften a landing.

9. The connections were also too fragile to withstand strong impacts. They were made of rigid plates and metal splices, fixed by screws, which still cause discomfort and can unscrew by use.

10. And these rigid parts, when disassembled, could cause damage to users and passersby. Also the metal plates - used to support the spine - could pose a risk if they dismounted.

11. And there was a protective plaque only around the spine. Thus, the tubes were in direct contact with even the most salient areas of the body. So the force of a shock with a large surface would be concentrated in the tube, which could maximize the risk of injury.

12. Contran / Denatran refused authorization for motorcycle testing in a decision published on page 88 of the Official Gazette 242 on 18/12/2015 concerning Opinion number 0052 / 2014- 2016 / CTAV / CONTRAN (Case No 80000.017361 / 2015-19). 13. In this opinion they claim that: a) because it is a large structure, it could be attached to other objects, such as tree branches and vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents; b) there was limitation of the driver's movements; c) the passenger could not count on the same equipment as the driver.

14. I requested reconsideration on the grounds, inter alia, that it would be possible to reduce the dimensions of the equipment.

15. Then, in a new opinion number 018 / 20106-208 / CTAV / CONTRAN, state that if that version of the project fit the concept of Personal Protective Equipment - PPE, it would be possible that the prohibitive rule of CONTRAN would not even be apply.

16. In fact, there is usually freedom to market new PPE. So much so that the motorcycle air bag started to be sold in Europe in 1999 and the specific standard (EN 1621-4: 2013) was only published in 2013. As far as I am aware, this and other motorcycle protection equipment still today are marketed in Brazil without specific rules.

17. But there was a great risk of contesting the framing of the earlier version of Tubular Armor as PPE. Especially because it had to be supported on the motorcycle frame, because it was very large and was practically impossible to do it in smaller dimensions, ensuring safety and effectiveness of the equipment.

18. First because the fittings needed to be kept away from vital areas of the wearer's body due to the rigidity and fragility of the fittings and the danger of an exposed metal pipe end.

19. And since the possibilities offered by bends at the pipe ends had not yet been envisioned, the bends were made only along the tubular parts and the equipment used for bending pipes usually requires a straight area between the bends. Thus, making two parallel pieces, with the curves against the back, also around the cervical spine and head, it was impossible to bend the tube to protect the sides of hips and shoulders. There also had to be a distance between the equipment and the user's body to compensate for the gaps and to prevent the unprotected areas by the pipes from being hit.

20. In testing with the bicycle prototype, there were also occasions when the side connection nuts and plastic clamps - which were used to attach the plates and pads to the frame - scraped the body and shredded clothing.

21. The frame was still attached to the bike by an unstable three-strap clamp: the equipment hung sideways.

22. It was planned to fix the structure in support, but this support was not developed. To lift the equipment, it was necessary to rest it on the user's back and to fold the equipment whenever it was dismounted from the bicycle. This made it difficult to assemble and dismantle and the weight of the equipment was all on the user's back, which also caused some discomfort.

23. The motorcycle model had only a hook-up cable that could be used only with parked equipment. It could still easily disconnect, causing the equipment to tip over. For this cable and hook holder was very fragile and unstable.

24. Nor was a patent filed in that patent application to allow width adjustment of the equipment, which would in some cases require the manufacture of equipment of different sizes.

25. A metal frame for the foot raincoat of PCT / BR2007 / 000101 was developed with thin bars on flexible material which could also maximize scratches. A plate version was developed, but it would be difficult to adapt to different shoes.

26. What is even more serious is that subsequent tests have shown that it is impossible to use rigid material on the sides of the feet. For the feet always bend to walk, use motorcycle pedals, etc.

27. In the previous patent application, reference is made to flight equipment, but neither was such equipment developed at that time. 28. Videos show that motorized or guided individual flight equipment is tested today on water in England and France. I believe this is due to the lack of safety equipment and landing gear. Paragliding hang gliding equipment is only used with helmet, elbow pads, knee pads and harness.

29. The harness is practically a chair made of flexible and padding materials. As well as other personal protective equipment available on the market: knee pads, elbow pads, shin guards, boots and clothing that includes joint reinforcements.

30. Metal plates are rarely seen in such reinforcements. When there are, they are just over one joint and are very small. Most manufacturers use plastics, rubber and the like. Thus, these devices mitigate the impacts, but are unable to prevent more severe fractures. Especially because, even when using material between two joints, such as shin guards, this material is separated from the one that protects the joints. So it is impossible to avoid a bone fracture and the force of impact remains concentrated at the point where it occurs.

31. I identified a spine protector on the Texx brand website certified based on the European standard CE EN 1621/2. It sits along the spine fixed like a backpack; It has eight plastic plates fixed in fabric. These rigid plates are all in the same direction as the vertebrae. If an impact hits only one of these plates, there is hardly any impact on the other plates.

32. Thus it can be seen that the prior art disregards that concentration aggravates the force of an impact and that when the impact impacts a larger area it also disperses, minimizing its force and eventual damage.

33. There is an excessive concern with the anatomy. But the anatomical shape does not always result in comfort. Because the simple contact of the equipment with the user's body already produces heat and discomfort in environments with high temperatures. So it is very difficult to use this equipment in summer or in warmer regions.

34. Brazilian Army soldiers wear full-rigid equipment as knee and shin pads. But this piece has a bend separating the knee, ie it is molded into the body. Thus it covers the entire area anatomically and should cause heat.

35. In equipment used by some police officers, separate plastic plates are seen even in areas where there are no vertebrae or joints, such as arms and forearms. And in these straight areas, between joints, it's hard to understand why they use separate plates.

36. I imagine they do it to reduce the heat. Thus, what we see are models that still follow the anatomical shape of the ancient armor. But looking at photographs of ancient armor, it appears that the pieces that protected the joints had their edges resting on the pieces that protected the extension of the main bones of the limbs.

37. Thus, the impact on the joints, such as the knee and elbow of someone falling from a horse, for example, would impact the piece that protected the bone. Thus, these armatures were effective for fall protection, since the force of such an impact, as it reverberated from one piece to another, was distributed and thus dispersed.

38. Because current police officers are no longer at risk of sword attack, their armor may have cracks. But with these cracks or separations, there is no overlap of parts.

39. Thus, I believe that there is a risk that the protection provided by the workpiece will not even compensate for the risk that the force of a shock impact with a large surface will be concentrated solely on the joint because there is a higher level protective workpiece on it. . For if that part did not exist, with the limb well extended, the force of this impact would be distributed over a larger area of the body, thus reducing the risk of causing injury. 40. In equipment in which there is some metal plate, besides being very small, aluminum prevails, I believe they do it because it is light.

41. Thus the prior art disregards the benefits of using longer materials and rigid part overlays to distribute the force of impact. But it also disregards the possible advantage represented by the fact that impact energy is better distributed in good energy conductors, such as ordinary steel, favoring energy-consuming mechanical vibration.

42. I created the structure made of large bent tube parts in 2011. But neither was it intended to favor the distribution or dispersion of impact energy or to reap the benefits of mechanical vibration. It therefore aimed to reduce the possibility of dismantling the structure and the risk of exposed pipe ends.

43. I registered this technique in patent application PI1102903-0 on July 21, 2011 whose title is Integral Curvilinear Structure.

44. Commercially available equipment is still expensive and worn out. In addition, consumers get fat or lose weight, so it is impossible to wear the same clothes for long.

45. Waste produced by the disposal of such equipment also causes damage to the environment, as the type of material used takes time to decompose and can rarely be reused.

46. The need for leg and foot protection also inhibits motorcycle use, especially by women. Because it is very dangerous especially wearing women's shoes. And most of the functions performed by women require the wearing of women's shoes. Boots can be worn at most in winter.

47. The motorcycle air bag only fires when there is a very strong impact and, with its use, still fatalities from fracture of the cervical spine, because the inflated bubble usually covers at most neck, trunk, chest and abdomen.

48. The exoskeleton is made of straight pieces connected by rivets, which should inhibit the use of this equipment in situations of risk of falling and impact. Exhibition of the Invention

49. Tests on the developed equipment now show that the technique I developed in 2011 and called Integral Curvy Structure favors energy distribution and mechanical vibration, which consumes and naturally dampens impact force.

50 Other developed techniques now enable the use of common steel tubular structures in equipment that is close to vital points of the body, ensuring the full effectiveness and safety of Tubular Armor® and its fit into the concept of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), thus removing normative barrier.

51. Thus, this new version of Tubular Armor® sets up a new PPE, which can be defined as a portable bumper, by the ability to cushion impact energy, by covering two arm and leg joints - without generating heat or discomfort. - and the range and effectiveness of the protection provided by the trunk and head armor.

52. The solutions identified have now enabled the development of a joint impact protection system - which applies to footwear and flight equipment - as well as other tubular products such as furniture, soldering and other connection devices.

I understand that the most important of these improvements are rigid or semi-rigid plates inserted into cushions, which may be accompanied by padding plates such as foam or the like. Especially because I've developed a simple and effective way to fit these pads into the tubular structure, without using clamps and any other fastening devices, just by wearing the caps on the tubes.

54 On one side of these caps are handles of a diameter suitable for insertion into the tubes. In the other, an overlapping pillow-like opening is made to insert the plates after dressing the covers in the tubular structure.

55. If a metal plate is used, it is first placed in a cover of sturdy and thick material such as synthetic leather. Thus, there is no risk of tearing the cushion cover into which the plate is inserted.

56. In some cases, a small margin should still be left, covered by the padding plate, which must be longer than the metal plate. This padded edge eliminates any risk of these plates causing damage if the cushion comes off.

57. These pillows are thus simply, effectively and harmlessly positioned at the height of the body parts where there are usually injuries, which are also usually the most prominent areas. In these positions, these pads also help to keep the rest of the frame farther away, preventing the tubes from touching the body in the event of impact.

58. And because the plate has a larger surface than the tube, it prevents the tubular part from sinking over the user's body, eliminating any fear of maximizing scratches.

59 I did an experiment that shows that a small metal plate 24 x 12 centimeters and only 0.8 mm thick can fully hold the strength of at least 10 pounds.

60 I placed this board on a 3 cm thick foam board 27 x 15 cm long (density 32, gray color). On the metal plate I placed a tubular piece 15 mm in diameter and on it, gym weights that totaled 10 kilos. So the metal plate did not even move and the foam plate remained at the same height.

61. Doing the same experiment without the metal plate, the tubular part sinks into the foam plate.

62. On shoulder-pads, a very stiff plastic or wood plate is provided, which provides non-anatomical shape, which favors ventilation and concentrates the weight on only one shoulder point. 63. But the weight of the trunk and head structure is lifted from the shoulders by the use of a pillow-like support that rests in the hip area. These pads are wider than the belt and have straps to keep the belt through the middle.

64. Inside these pads is also placed a thin metal plate, which is much narrower than the foam plate and is protected by a double cover. Thus there is no risk of tearing the cushion even though they are well flexed.

65. The width of the foam board also helps to distribute and minimize the weight of the frame over the hips.

66. This bracket also helps stabilize the frame even when the motorcycle turns.

67. In other positions, projectile-resistant polycarbonate plates may also be used.

68. It is also possible to market only the covers, allowing them to be replaced when there is any damage. So this equipment can be reused indefinitely. For simple care is enough to preserve the tubular part.

69. These padded padded plates further simplify the production of various other products such as armchairs, chairs, stools, etc. Even the armchair support grid made of rubber straps can be inserted into the cushions after the cover is worn on the tubes. Just make the opening on the side of the cushion.

70. This also benefits the personalization of the pieces, favoring the activity of artisans and decorators. For it is also possible to market only the bent tubular part and the filler plates, indicating the measures for each one to make their own cover.

71. These plates also serve to support and secure the Tubular® Armor for the trunk and head.

72. Developed design of a balloon basket made of embedded fabric tube-shaped envelopes into which plates are inserted (figure 44).

73. Another important solution identified now is the connections made of flexible materials sewn and then dressed in the tubes.

74. For it is possible to connect up to two tubular, arc-shaped pieces that form a halo, as shown in figures 23, 26, and 46. The two tubular pieces at the height of the cervical spine are joined with only a clamp of sewn fabric, with the tubular parts retracting again to contour the shoulders.

75. To do this, simply wear one tube piece at a time or move the tube pieces by placing the parallel tubes - where the fabric piece will be worn - and moving the tubes so that they remain parallel after each bend, as shown in figure 2, which corresponds to the same tubular parts as shown in the armor shown in figure 1.

76. Because very sturdy fabrics - such as truck tarpaulins - can be used and reinforced seams, these connections can be invulnerable, withstanding very strong impacts such as falling equipment and crashing at high speeds. .

77. But they can be easily cut with scissors or a knife to make it easier for first responders. Thus, they are certainly the most effective way to connect protective equipment made of rigid parts.

78. In order to make the structure very firm, it is sufficient to make the armature with the pipe ends straight and to place rigid plates inside seams made of flexible materials.

79. This plate is placed in a faux leather cover or similar, as in the cushions. But it is sewn inside the seam so that it bypasses the parts to be connected, preventing them from swaying.

80. To avoid the noise of friction between metal pipes, where two bends are connected, parts can be seamed by separating the openings on each side. But in most positions no noise even occurs and it is better that the pipes bump against each other for impact.

81. In structures with curved ends, the cover joining the two curves also functions as a hinge. In this way, the structure can also be bent to the front of the body without causing difficulty to wear the armor, as shown in figures 20, 21, 27 and 28.

82. Bends at the ends of the tubes have many other purposes as follows:

a - support the structure around the trunk, eliminating the large spans that left unprotected areas. This allows the production of parts that protect the trunk well: back and sides or shoulders and hips;

b - may function as a super propelling spring. When made at the ends of tubular reinforcement in flight equipment, they shall deter the force of impact on landings and low falls. But further studies must be done to determine the shape and quantity of these bends, to prevent them from generating excessive propulsion and ensuring the effectiveness of the protection provided by the equipment.

c - allow to use small pieces of pipes safely near the body. For the simple curvature of the extremities already eliminates the risk of damage in eventual disassembly of the structure. But these curved ends are still embedded in covers or cushions.

83. These curvatures at the ends have allowed the development of tubular parts for the protection of arms, legs, shoulders, hips and further development.

84. The cushions on which the bends in the joints rest still move the tube away from the body, which also clearly maximizes the protection of the bones.

85. Joints also benefit from the extension of the tubular part, because the protection provided by this joint is much greater than the strength of the materials used. 86. This is because the impact that hits the rigid part impacts the entire area covered by it, but also distributes and disperses, minimizing the risk of such an impact causing injury.

87. For injuries often occur when the impact focuses only on one point, such as when an object falls on soft material and sinks. But when an object falls on a rigid part, the impact resonates with the whole part, if only by generating vibration. For vibration consumes energy and thus causes dispersion of the force of impact.

88. I believe this dispersion is proportional to the length of the rigid part. Because I have verified this, when bending tubes in manual machine, with the same tool and the same tube cut in different sizes.

89. It is easy to see that the effort required to make a bend in a piece of pipe of only one meter is much less than the effort required to make an equal bend in piece of the same tube that remains five meters long.

90. It is also noteworthy that the entire tubular part vibrates as it bends at only one end.

91. Similarly, the force required to deform a large tubular part must be greater than that required to deform a smaller tubular part. That is: I am sure that the effectiveness of protective equipment is proportional to the length of the tubular part.

92. This experience refers to ordinary steel pipe which is an excellent conductor of energy. It lacked the conditions to do similar experiments with non-conductive materials.

93. But it is evident that under certain conditions mechanical vibration occurs in rigid insulating materials such as plastic. It is enough that this piece is badly stabilized, and can move by eventual shock. And it also seems evident to me that the impact energy is consumed by mechanical vibration.

94. In producing hip support I also experimented with narrower foam boards. I found then that the weight on the hips is also minimized due to the width or length of the foam board.

95. So energy is distributed over the entire surface of the part, even using non-energy conducting materials.

96. I consider that these findings are sufficient to demonstrate the advantage of protective equipment made of metal tubing and even other but more rigid or non-rigid materials.

97. Plates can also be used without generating much heat, with flat lines prevailing rather than anatomical shapes. Because ventilation occurs in the less prominent areas of the body, which are farthest from the protective parts, especially if pads are also used on the joints and at the height of other protrusions of the body.

98. The Texx brand part mentioned in the previous subtitle was announced at the price of R $ 358.90. But it only covers the area of the vertebrae of the back, covering nothing of the cervical spine or shoulders.

99. As already mentioned, it is made of eight plates arranged in the same direction as the vertebrae. If at least four upright plates were added to those plates, the piece could easily also protect much of the shoulders and, when an impact hit one of the vertical plates, it would touch those horizontally arranged plates, reverberating over them and thus distributing them. and dispersing the force of the impact.

100. Thus, the piece of rigid material with ends over different joints, or over part of a covered joint bone, or over large areas of the trunk, is also an important improvement now introduced and can be reproduced with many other materials and different forms.

101. These improvements designed for motorcycle use can also be adapted for other uses, such as occupational safety and even for flight equipment that goes beyond sports and laser.

102. In this patent application, I present drawings of equipment for protection to be used or embedded in flight equipment.

103. The model of Figures 42 and 43 is a harness-embedded tubular structure, which is a kind of chair made of flexible material with seat belts on which the paraglider, paramotor, etc. are attached. It has a walking or running space and compartments (41) to engage the feet during flight.

104. This model is easily adapted for parachutes and other similar equipment.

105. The embodiment of Fig. 44 is the aforesaid balloon basket. The tubes are bent (17) at the sides and bottom. Four different tubes are used, which are connected at the bottom by a rubber strip (45), thus preventing excessive tube expansion, eventual fall and landing.

106. The model of Figures 45 and 46 is intended for guided flight equipment being developed in Europe.

107. All of these models have bends (17) at the bottom, especially at the ends of the tubular parts.

108. It is easy to adapt the design of the harness and furniture pads to produce aircraft seats that function as protective cells, with bends to cushion impacts on both the lower and upper areas.

109. For tubular trunk armor models, the models in figures 18 through 28 have been well tested.

110. The model of figures 18 to 21 is very comfortable and also favors aerodynamics. Even improvements in motorcycle performance, acceleration and balance are noticeable.

111. Advantageously replaces the motorcycle air bag. It effectively protects the shoulders and cervical spine, preventing injuries in these areas and without relying on the drive device to function.

112. Such equipment can still be easily left on the parked motorcycle by simply using a lock to secure it. 113. For use in situations of risk of falling from height, the structure around the torso should be longer and combined with a seat belt, which holds the user's hips above the lower end of the armature, as shown in the figure. 38 and 39.

114. In these models, there are four tubular parts. Centerpieces (22) should be of sturdier tubing to withstand the impact of a fall. It is seen that they also have curvatures (17) at the lower end.

115. The curved base model of figures 40 and 41 is also suitable for motorized flight equipment as it favors landing. But they can be used in other situations to avoid impact on the joints. Especially for the physical exercises of people who already have knee injuries.

116. The model for legs and hips of figures 33 and 34 is designed for use with skate, rollerblade, ski, horse, etc. But it has not been tested.

117. The leg model of figures 8 and 9 has been tested on bicycles and skates to prove to be quite appropriate and effective.

118. I did fall simulations. In one of them I fell with my trunk over my arm and had a wound that caused me pain that prevented me from doing abdominal exercises for a few weeks.

119. Therefore, I produced new padding forearm equipment in the area around the bend around the elbow (Figures 10 and 14).

120. With that, I found that tubular armor can be produced for use in team competitions by using this type of padding material over the full length of the tubular part.

121. I believe that with padding on the pipes, the shoulder protection equipment shown in Figures 15 and 16 for football and the leg protection equipment of Figures 8 and 9 for standard football, hockey, etc. can be adapted. .

122. Figures 20, 21 and 22 show that equipment can be made using rigid plastic plates or other resistant materials.

123. The bicycle armor can also be foldable by using a velcro cable tie to secure it to the bracket.

124. The flexible support for the bicycle tubular armor allows you to keep the armor firmly in an upright position, but with a good margin for flexing it when mounting and dismounting and during use without having to hold it on your back. For this, the support is fixed by a strap, but with a carabiner fitted in a closed piece, ensuring safety.

125. This bracket is made of a curved bolt rod which also prevents the structure from tipping backwards as it is locked by the saddle shaft.

126. The strap can be adjusted so that the equipment tilts forward when the rider wants to improve aerodynamics by tilting his torso.

127. And it's still easy to bend the armor to carry and store the bike. Just disconnect the carabiner.

128. This bracket is further secured to two pieces which are welded to the armature bracket and also serve to prevent slippage of the strap used to secure the bracket to the bicycle.

129. Thus, they prevent the whole armor from swinging from side to side and allow the armor to be secured to the bike by a simple nylon strap and plastic adjusters, which are completely harmless materials.

130. Secondary improvements have also been developed, such as the width adjustment of the tubular trunk reinforcement with the placement of other parts in the connecting devices. These parts (5) may be made of PVC tubing, which are lightweight but sturdy.

131. Combined trunk armor with backpacks can be made to use a single body attachment system. But preferably there should be the possibility to easily unplug them to avoid causing embarrassment to pass through metal detectors in everyday life.

132. Figure 35 illustrates the idea of a frame fixing system. tubular directly on clothes.

133. The armature of tubular parts with curved ends and padded inlays can also be adapted to produce versions of the exoskeleton that are most suitable for use in activities where there is a greater risk of falling or impact.

134. The bend connection device of a trunk reinforcement is made of two impermeable pieces of tarpaulin (1) which are sewn together, leaving openings to insert them into the tubes as shown in Figure 1.

135. To fit this device into the bend, place the two parallel tubular parts as shown in Figure 2. Then snap the fitting into the end of each tubular part and slide it into the bend.

136. The seams are also made of a thick piece of canvas (1) and a smaller piece of synthetic leather (2). In the middle of these two pieces, a metal plate (3) is placed and sewn around it, as in figure 3. Then is installed eyelets (4), as in figure 4 and the piece is molded around the tube.

137. Holes (6) are then drilled at the ends of the tubular parts in a position that coincides with that of these eyelets (4). The seam is placed at the end of the tubular parts and the seam is fixed to the holes (6), with nylon clamp, on the outside of the tubes, especially the part that is against the user's body.

138. The pillow covers are preferably made of rubberized nylon. Fold two inches from the edge of the outside edge of the opening and tape it together to sew a hem. The opening is overlapped, leaving fabric left about three inches inside.

139. When using foam board, strips are sewn to the sides of the cover so that the sides of the cover are similar in thickness to the plates.

140. When using metal plate inside the cushion, it must first be covered with synthetic leather.

141. Handles (8) are sewn into the cover of the cushion in a position that coincides with that of the frame tubes of the place where the cushion is to be secured.

142. The filler plates are placed on the cushion cover only after you put the cape on the tubes. The foam board is first placed in a waterproof cover which may be just a plastic bag.

143. At the point of the cushions where two bends are connected, a nylon strap clamp (26) with openings equal to or greater than the diameter of the tubes should be sewn.

144. The trunk and head armor shown in Figure 21 is made of two curved tubular pieces as shown in Figure 18, the side of which is shown in Figure 19.

145. The shoulder-length cushion is approximately 25 x 12 centimeters in length. Inside is a foam board and a light and sturdy wooden board.

146. On both ends of this cushion, handles (30) are sewn of sturdy strap with openings at the ends to connect it to the tubes. At the back, these straps (30) are sewn over another piece of strap, which joins the pads on both sides.

147. The strap that connects the front tubular part (31) is made of a piece of nylon strap whose ends are sewn together. Then he turns, leaving the seam in the middle. Then the openings are sewn at the edges to insert this piece into the tubes.

148. The piece in front of the user (19) is made of rectangular bent tube as shown in figures 20 and 21. And connected to a pad made as described above. This pad is at least two inches wider than the tubular piece.

149. The strap (29) that connects to the underside of this part (19) is loose.

150. The other strap (29) that connects to the base of the frame is coupled to a cushion (39) whose foam board is 12 centimeters wide. Within this cushion (39) is placed a metal plate no more than eight centimeters wide. Cut the corners of this plate and roll it up It is sturdy, then placed in another cover that is the same width as the foam plate, in which a compartment is sewn so that the metal plate is well centered.

151. This cushion (39) has handles (32) to also center the securing strap (29). This strap should always be tight. So you need to use a very effective buckle or use an adjusting buckle to lock the strap end tightly.

152. In addition to increasing safety in the area, the recess 21 shown in Figure 19 provides room for wearing the helmet. Therefore, the upper end of the back cushion 33 should also be no more than three centimeters above the shoulder cushion boundary.

153. An envelope (34) also made of rubberized nylon is attached to the base curve of the setback area. It should have two-inch openings at the bottom of each side. In these openings the tip of the strap (9) is inserted which holds the upper side pads (35) in position.

154. Within this envelope (34), only one metal plate is inserted. The cover of this board should have Velcro straps on the front, on both lower sides, to secure the strap (9) that positions the cushion (35).

155. The strap (9) is hand-sewn with a cord (11) and a shoemaker's needle, using a piece of pipe of the same diameter as the armature to form slack in this cord so that it can function as loops. . Between each stitch of this seam, a space of three centimeters is left.

156. The forearm protection parts are curved as shown in figures 12 and 13.

157. In the parts of Figures 10 and 11, only EVA rubber plate is used to fill the pads. The wrist plate is 13 x 7 cm and the elbow plate is 16 x 15 cm.

158. The caps are made as described above by attaching the handle straps (36), tube end compartments (23), the finger strap (14) and the material for padding the curve (12).

159. The shoulder strap (36) is made of a 5 x 5 cm sturdy piece of strap.

160. These supports 36 are sewn, positioned as shown in Figure 11: on the elbow cushion only a two-centimeter portion of the support is attached to the hook-and-loop velcro strap. On the other part of this support (36) another support (15) is sewn, which is made of a 1.5 cm wide piece of strap whose other end is bent and sewn around the strap (9) joining the pads .

161. The tube end compartments (23) are made of sturdy and flexible fabric strip. Before sewing the edges of this fabric, two strips are sewn on the outside to attach these compartments to the covers.

162. The finger strap is made of a 31 x 5 cm rubberized nylon strap. On the reverse side of this strip, 8 centimeters from one end, one end of a 17 cm piece of elastic is sewn, the other end of which is sewn to the other end of this strip. Sew the edges of this strip and turn it on the right side. Then bend the part without elastic, forming the handle that will be attached to the tube. This fold is then sewn together with the other end of the strap on the cushion cover as shown in Figure 10.

163. The elbow-height curve padding (12) is made of an 8 x 18 x 2 cm foam board covered with rubberized nylon. This hooded foam plate is folded to fit another sturdy fabric cover. This cover has the sides folded and sewn, leaving space in which pieces of cord are inserted. A shoemaker's needle is used to insert the ends of these cords into the cushion cover by tying them to the wrong side of the cushion at the points where the tube should be positioned. These points should be marked on the cover and also the pipe bend area to sew the edges of the cover (12). The edges are already sewn by fixing them on the cushion cover, with thinner but also strong cords. 164. The piece of string (11) used on the outside of this piece should be about 60 centimeters long. The two ends are tied at the wrong side of the cap, and then the larger end is passed back to the right side of the cap, near the edge, at which point the strip (9) around the tube is sewn. A knot is then made in the cord (11). One end of the strip (9) should be sewn shortly before that knot so that the strip (9) covers it. The other end is sewn into the cuff cushion cover.

165. The cord is sewn to this strip (9), with spaces of 3 centimeters, as described above. The other ends of this cord 11 are inserted into the cushion at the wrist where a knot is made.

166. Then fold the covers and sew, closing the edges.

167. Then the handles (10) are sewn to the supports (36).

168. To make the straps (10), hook-face velcro sewn into a piece of nylon strap is used. The strap at the elbow is also sewn into the strap (15) and another piece of strap (24), the other end of which is attached to the strap having the soft velcro face. Near the middle of this piece of strap (24), a small cushion (25) is sewn. It is made of a nylon strip that folds and sews the side edges inside out. He turns and places a small piece of EVA rubber inside, still leaving slack in this cover to sew it on the strap (24).

169. A similar but even smaller cushion (25) is attached to the hook face loop (10) on the cuff cushion.

170. The strap to which the soft velcro face is attached also has a foam strip and sheet metal inside. Velcro is sewn into the cover that is made of nylon.

171. The sheet metal is a maximum of 3 cm wide. One should cut its corners and wrap this plate with sturdy material, passing twice on the sides. The ends of this folded material should be sewn.

172. The best way to make the leg and foot protection piece is to shown in figure 6. The pipe is bent as shown in figure 7.

173. Foam-padded metal pads are attached at ankle height (38) and around the knee (37).

174. The strap (10) that is fixed around the ankle also passes through a similarly narrow pad used on the hips (39). Both of these straps 10 are made of only one strap to which both sides of the velcro are attached. For this, they are passed in the tube of the armature itself, where they are bent and then connected to the other side of the velcro.

175. But Velcro is also sewn to the knee cushion cover (37) to reinforce the attachment of that strap and then to fasten that strap over the cushion and itself.

176. The upper part of the belt shown in Figures 21 and 22 is made of synthetic leather. Behind this belt, resistant straps are sewn, which pass between the legs, are connected to regulators (16) and buckle on the front.

177. This belt is double and has openings on the sides to fit the tube bend. At the lower edge of each of these openings, a strip (9) is sewn, the other end of which is sewn to the knee cushion, as described above for the forearm piece.

178. The space to sew the openings, to embed the pipe bend in the belt, is marked, considering that it must be wider, to place a piece of hose (18) into which the pipe is fitted. This piece of hose (18) must have a hole at each end to sew it to the belt.

179. The height-falling leg armor has a foot support strap (43) that attaches to the top of the tubular structure

180. In this strap (43) elastic bands (13) can also be installed. To this end, eyelets (4) are installed in two sequences, approximately ten centimeters apart. An elastic band (13) of the type used for luggage ropes is then inserted through the inside of the strap (43) with a knot for hold the tip. The elastic band 13 is passed between the eyelets 4 of the two sequences and the other end is knotted.

181. Another loop is made 10 with velcro at the ends and an opening is sewn in the middle to fit it into the tube.

181. Figure 40 shows clearly the curvatures of the lower part.

A thick rubber hose (18) is inserted into the base. The foot holding compartment (41) is fixed to the top of the base bends. It also leaves a gap at heel height. The edges of a piece of sturdy strap are sewn (44). Leave this seam in the middle and sew the space to insert the edges into the tube. The foot cage 41 is sewn together with two 1.5 cm wide strapped straps 9 which are fastened by cord 11 as described above. The ends of this cord (11) are tied into holes (6) made just above the strap (10). Velcro is also sewn to the top of the strap (9) to secure the strap (10).

183. The tubular balloon structure is formed by four different tubes, which must be connected by a sturdy fabric clamp with reinforced seams in the middle of the bottom of the basket. They are also fixed at the lower ends by a rubber band (45). The drawings of the other tubular structures for flight equipment are already quite explanatory, considering the previous description of how to make the other equipment.

184. The shape of shoulder and hip armor and furniture is also evident. Only the rigid plates of the sofas should be made of a wooden frame to which sturdy rubber strips are attached, similar to the structure of sofas. These plates are then inserted into the covers as described above.

185. The lower tubular part is secured to the bicycle saddle by a 50 mm wide resistant nylon strap (52) passing through a regulator (16). In this strap (52), a perforated pipe clamp (51) is sewn by hand as shown in Fig. 48. 186. This clamp (51) is attached to the bottom of the saddle and then fitted to the lower tubular part. The holes (6) made in the edges of this clamp (51) are fixed by a nylon or wire clamp.

187. A 3.5 mm radius curve is made in the middle of a bolt rod (49) 9 mm in diameter and 350 mm in length. Two nuts (48) are placed on each side of this rod (49).

188. Cut two pieces (30) of approximately 30 mm x 50 mm metal bar. A hole 10 mm in diameter is drilled at one end of each of these pieces (47). The ends of the rod (49) are fixed to these holes by nuts. This makes it easier to position the bar pieces to weld them to the middle of the lower tubular part.

189. With the armature bent over the bicycle, the rod (49) should be almost parallel to the saddle axle, only slightly tilted backwards. This position must be marked to weld the bar parts (47) to the lower tubular part.

190. The strap for attaching the flexible support to the seat shaft is made of a durable 25 mm wide and 240 mm long nylon strap. A carabiner (50) is fixed at one end, bent and stitched to the other end, forming a loop, which is placed on the screw rod (49).
