Definitions
- the invention relates to an impact protector according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a textile holding device with an impact protector according to the invention.
- Such impact protectors include, in particular, shin guards, which are sometimes also referred to as shin guards, greaves, lower leg guards or lower leg guards and belong to the field of sports protective equipment. These serve primarily to protect the shin against external forces that are caused by forces that occur in duels, collisions or impact situations.
- Typical sports in which impact protectors are regularly used include, for example, soccer, futsal, American football, field hockey, ice hockey, cricket, motor sports, cycling and martial arts.
- the protectors can also be used for all other parts of the body, such as shoulders, hips, thighs, chest, back/spine, genital area, stomach, hands, head or elbows.
- Such impact protectors are usually made of plastic and/or foam.
- impact protectors are also used in the medical field, for example as hip protectors, arm protectors, leg protectors, shoulder protectors, back protectors, etc., which are used as prophylaxis in hospitals or in old people's and nursing homes to protect patients in the event of a fall.
- Another area of application for impact protection is in physical therapy.
- lower leg protectors in particular shin guards, are known for athletes. These consist of a shell made of plastic material covering the areas of the leg to be protected, this shell consisting of two different plastic materials of different hardness, one material being used for the actual impact protection zones and these impact protection zones being overmoulded with the second material.
- the actual impact protection zones are made of the harder plastic material, such as polypropylene, and the surrounding areas are made of the less hard plastic material, such as polyurethane foam.
- lower leg protectors have proven useful in practice, they are made from less environmentally friendly materials, so that there is potential for improvement, especially with regard to the question of sustainability, which is becoming increasingly important.
- plastic materials used for the known shin guards can trigger allergies in the users, so that there is a need for innovative products in this regard as well.
- many athletes find the impact protectors made of plastic to be restrictive or uncomfortable to wear.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing an impact protector which has at least a comparable protective effect to, for example, the known impact protector, but which can also be produced from recyclable and non-hazardous material and is more comfortable to wear.
- the essence of the invention consists in the following: An impact protector, which serves in particular to protect against the effects of external forces.
- the impact protector has a base body with an inside and an outside.
- the base body is preferably convex towards the outside arched.
- the base body is formed from a cork material, in particular from a pressed cork material.
- inside refers to the side of the base body that is to be protected in each case, such as the shin, of the user.
- the term “outside” refers to the side of the base body that is remote from the body part to be protected, such as the user's shin.
- cork material refers to any material consisting of cork bark, cork residue, cork shavings, cork pieces and cork waste.
- the impact protector can also be produced or punched out in one piece from cork bark, or it can consist of several parts/particles which are possibly glued and/or pressed together.
- the term “pressed cork material” refers in particular to cork material produced from granules, to which a binding agent is added and which is pressed. Embodiments are also conceivable in which the cork granules are mixed with an elastomeric material, such as rubber.
- the convex curvature of the base body can vary depending on the area of application. However, non-curved shapes are also conceivable for the base body, which are designed essentially like plates.
- the base body is preferably formed from a fully pressed cork material.
- the term "fully pressed” is understood here to mean that the base body consists of only a single ply or layer of pressed cork material.
- the base body is formed from several layers of a pressed cork material (ie in particular a pressed cork material), the several layers of pressed cork material preferably being glued to one another.
- a pressed cork material ie in particular a pressed cork material
- an adhesive layer would be provided between the inner and middle ply/layer and between the middle and outer ply/layer, which would preferably be formed from a solvent-free contact adhesive (eg D310). becomes.
- two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten or more plies/layers can be provided.
- Both of the aforementioned embodiments ensure a particularly pronounced absorbing, insulating and dividing or dissipation of the forces acting from the outside.
- a highly pronounced fracture inhibition and fracture resistance can be achieved.
- the elasticity of the impact protectors can generally be increased, as well as their stability, in particular with regard to optimal compressive strength, tensile strength and tear resistance.
- the base body On its inside, the base body preferably has a contact structure formed from a plurality of first structural elements protruding from the inside of the base body, which is preferably configured to prevent the impact protector from slipping relative to the body part to be protected. A certain mobility, for example in the case of pronounced or extreme movements, should always be guaranteed.
- the fitting structure is able to increase extensibility, prevent cracking and deflect forces in a targeted manner.
- the first structural elements are preferably designed as round, oval, triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal and/or polygonal structural elements. These geometries have proven to be particularly efficient; Depending on the part of the body and/or type of sport, they can also be combined in order to achieve special adhesive or gliding properties.
- the first structural elements Preferably, have a substantially flat upper surface, i.e. which abuts the tibia, for example.
- the first structural elements preferably protrude from the inside of the base body by 1 mm to 5 mm, preferably by 2 mm to 4 mm, more preferably by 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm. These distances have proven to be particularly practical, since a certain amount of air circulation is guaranteed and sweat can drain off more easily. In addition, an optimal flow of forces can be achieved, i.e. the forces can be optimally derived or divided.
- the inter-element distances between the individual first structural elements are preferably from 2 mm to 20 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 18 mm, more preferably from 4 mm to 15 mm and even more preferably from 5 mm to 10mm.
- “inter-element distance” is understood to mean the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements (or their outer circumference). As a result, the above-mentioned advantages with regard to the height distances can be increased even further.
- the first structural elements preferably take up 30% to 90%, preferably 40% to 80%, more preferably 50% to 70% of the surface of the inside of the base body.
- the base body On its outside, the base body preferably has a protective structure formed from one or more second structural element(s) protruding from the outside of the base body, which is preferably configured to increase the strength of the impact protector.
- the impact protection can be increased in this way, on the other hand, the stability of the impact protector can be increased overall, e.g. against accidental breaking.
- the protective structure can also increase extensibility, prevent cracking and deflect forces in a targeted manner.
- the plurality of second structural elements regularly have the same or similar geometries as the first structural elements.
- a (single) second structural element is preferably provided, which is arranged centrally on the outside of the base body and which preferably runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal sides and/or the transverse sides of the impact protector.
- the one second structural element or the plurality of second structural elements preferably protrude by 1 mm to 8 mm, preferably by 2 mm to 6 mm, more preferably by 3 mm to 5 mm from the outside of the base body. In this way, the protective effect and the flow of forces can be further improved.
- the inter-element distances in the second structure elements correspond to the inter-element distances in the first structure elements.
- the density of the cork material is preferably between about 150 kg/m 2 and about 800 kg/m 2 , preferably between about 170 kg/m 2 and about 500 kg/m 2 , more preferably between about 190 kg/m 2 2 and about 400 kg/m 2 and more preferably between about 200 kg/m 2 and about 300 kg/m 2 .
- a particularly good impact protection or a particularly good force absorption can be achieved.
- cork can be compressed to half (or even 70%) of its thickness, allowing external forces to be deflected differently depending on cork density (and thickness). In addition, the cork then springs back into its original shape. Cork also has particularly good insulating properties.
- the grain size of the cork material is preferably from 0.025 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 5 mm and more preferably from 0.4 mm to 1 mm. With the appropriate grain sizes, the aforementioned effects can be increased. Depending on the region of the impact protector, however, the density and grain size can change or be adapted to special requirements.
- the thickness of the base body is preferably from 1 mm to 200 mm, preferably from 1 mm to 80 mm, more preferably from 1 mm to 12 mm, more preferably from 2 mm to 10 mm, more preferably from 3 mm to 8.5 mm and even more preferably from 4mm to 6mm.
- the base body can be formed from a large number of plies/layers glued together, so that in extreme cases the base body can be up to 20 cm thick.
- three plies/layers are preferably glued together, which regularly results in a maximum thickness of approximately 12 mm.
- the same thicknesses can also be achieved with full compression.
- the binders used for the cork material are preferably polyurethane synthetic resins, phenolic resins (formaldehyde resin), melamine resins or vegetable resins. As a result, a particularly strong connection can be guaranteed.
- the inside and/or the outside of the base body preferably have a surface finish in the form of multiple pre-sealing, printing, staining, impregnation, lacquering, glazing, oiling, waxing and/or engraving.
- the impact protectors according to the invention can be personalized by means of engraving or designed in color or black and white by means of printing. A colored granulate selection is also possible.
- cork as a raw material from a naturally renewable tree bark is also particularly environmentally friendly for the production of the impact protectors according to the invention, since plastic and synthetic materials can be dispensed with. In this way, contemporary consumption can be promoted, including the transmission of values at all levels, i.e. from athletes to clubs and organizations or associations.
- cork does not cause any skin problems and is also odorless. Thanks to the suberin contained in its cell walls and ceroids, cork is virtually impermeable to liquids, mites, bacteria, pests, rot, chemicals and gases. In terms of tactile and haptic perception, cork is therefore free of itching, mites and allergens. In addition, cork is hardly noticeable when worn and, thanks to its lightness, supports a previously unknown body freedom during sport.
- the impact protectors according to the invention can be worn directly on the skin or they can be inserted into a textile lining or into a textile fastening device such as a shirt, pants, stocking etc.
- the textile holding device preferably has suitable pockets into which the impact protectors can be inserted.
- the impact protectors can also be sewn, embedded or welded into the textile mounting device.
- the present invention comprises a textile holding device with an impact protector according to the invention.
- the textile mounting devices can be made of natural or man-made fabrics or fibers.
- they preferably have pockets into which the impact protectors can be placed.
- the pockets can be open or sewn shut. You can also use a zipper or Velcro be lockable.
- the impact protectors can be welded into the textile holding device.
- the impact protectors can also be attached to the outside of the textile holding device, ie sewn or glued on, for example.
- the impact protectors according to the invention can be manufactured as shin guards in the usual sizes and thicknesses and can also have different degrees of hardness (i.e. from soft to hard).
- Common size dimensions include XS (11cm to 12cm), S (12cm to 13.5cm), M (13.5cm to 15cm), L (15cm to 16.5cm), XL (16.5cm to 18cm) and XXL (18 cm to 19.5 cm).
- the most common thicknesses range from 3mm to 8mm. Depending on the size and pattern structure on the inside or outside, they can be manufactured differently.
- the base body 2 of the shin guard 1 has a top 3a and a bottom 3b (also called transverse sides) and a right side 4a and a left side 4b (also called longitudinal sides), the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b running in a slightly wedge-shaped manner from the upper side 3a to the lower side 3b.
- the base body 2 is from the inside 5 convexly curved towards the outside 6, with the curvature in the area of the upper side 3a tending to be somewhat more pronounced than in the area of the underside 3b.
- the base body 2 has a thickness D, which relates in particular to the middle part of the base body 2 and which is basically constant; however, embodiments are also conceivable in which the thickness D decreases somewhat in the direction of the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b and .
- the inside 5 is essentially smooth; however, it may have some texture or roughness to increase slip resistance.
- FIG. 2 a perspective view of a second exemplary embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a fully pressed base body 2 is illustrated.
- the base body 2 has a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5, which are also intended to increase slip resistance and also ensure a certain air circulation and drainage of liquids such as sweat.
- the forces can be optimally derived or divided.
- the thickness D refers to the thickness of the base body 2 without the height of the structural elements 7.
- the inner structural elements 7 are designed to be hexagonal and taper in the direction away from the inside 5 in the shape of a truncated pyramid.
- the inter-element distance Z designates the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements 7 (ie from outer circumference to outer circumference). The distance Z between the elements can be smaller in the central area of the inside 5 of the base body 2 than in the area of the longitudinal sides 4a, 4b.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a fully pressed base body 2 and a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5 and a protective structure with several structural elements 8 on the outside 6, which shows the essential difference compared to the embodiment according to 2 matters.
- the outer structural elements 8 are also hexagonal in this exemplary embodiment and taper in the direction away from the outside 6 in the shape of a truncated pyramid.
- the inter-element distance Z designates the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements 8 (ie from outer circumference to outer circumference).
- the distance between the elements Z can be smaller in the central area of the outside 6 of the base body 2 than in the area of the Long sides 4a, 4b. Due to the base body 2 tapering downwards in a wedge shape, more structural elements 8 are arranged in the area of the upper side 3a than in the middle area and more structural elements 8 in the middle area than in the area of the underside 3b.
- a perspective view of a fourth exemplary embodiment of an impact protector 1 with a fully pressed base body 2 and a contact structure with several structural elements 7 on the inside 5 and a protective structure with only one structural element 8 on the outside 6 is shown.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Aufprallprotektor gemäss dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Textilhalterungsvorrichtung mit einem erfindungsgemässen Aufprallprotektor.The invention relates to an impact protector according to the preamble of
Derartige Aufprallprotektoren umfassen insbesondere Schienbeinschoner, welche mitunter auch als Schienbeinschützer, Beinschienen, Unterschenkelschützer oder Unterschenkelschoner bezeichnet werden und in den Bereich der Sportschutzausrüstung gehören. Diese dienen primär dem Schutz des Schienbeins gegen äussere Gewalteinwirkungen, die durch Kräfte, welche etwa in Zweikämpfen, Zusammenstoss- oder Aufprallsituationen auftreten, hervorgerufen werden. Typische Sportarten, in denen Aufprallprotektoren regelmässig zum Einsatz kommen umfassen zum Beispiel Fussball, Futsal, American Football, Feldhockey, Eishockey, Cricket, Motorsport, Fahrradsport sowie Kampfsport. Die Protektoren sind aber grundsätzlich auch für alle anderen Körperteile einsetzbar, wie etwa Schultern, Hüften, Oberschenkel, Brust, Rücken/Wirbelsäule, Genitalbereich, Bauch, Hand, Kopf oder Ellenbogen. Üblicherweise bestehen solche Aufprallprotektoren aus Kunststoff und/oder Schaumstoff.Such impact protectors include, in particular, shin guards, which are sometimes also referred to as shin guards, greaves, lower leg guards or lower leg guards and belong to the field of sports protective equipment. These serve primarily to protect the shin against external forces that are caused by forces that occur in duels, collisions or impact situations. Typical sports in which impact protectors are regularly used include, for example, soccer, futsal, American football, field hockey, ice hockey, cricket, motor sports, cycling and martial arts. In principle, the protectors can also be used for all other parts of the body, such as shoulders, hips, thighs, chest, back/spine, genital area, stomach, hands, head or elbows. Such impact protectors are usually made of plastic and/or foam.
Andererseits finden derartige Aufprallprotektoren auch im medizinischen Bereich Anwendung und zwar beispielsweise als Hüftprotektoren, Armprotektoren, Beinprotektoren, Schulterprotektoren, Rückenprotektoren etc., welche etwa in Krankenhäusern oder in Alten- und Pflegeheimen zum Schutz von Patienten bei allfälligen Stürzen als Prophylaxe eingesetzt werden. Ein weiterer Anwendungsbereich für Aufprallprotektoren ist die Physiotherapie.On the other hand, such impact protectors are also used in the medical field, for example as hip protectors, arm protectors, leg protectors, shoulder protectors, back protectors, etc., which are used as prophylaxis in hospitals or in old people's and nursing homes to protect patients in the event of a fall. Another area of application for impact protection is in physical therapy.
Aus der
Derartige Unterschenkelschützer haben sich in der Praxis zwar als zweckmässig erwiesen, allerdings ist sind aus wenig umweltfreundlichen Materialien gefertigt, so dass gerade im Hinblick auf die immer wichtiger werdende Frage der Nachhaltigkeit Verbesserungspotential besteht. Darüber hinaus können die für die bekannten Schienbeinschützer verwendeten Kunststoffmaterialien Allergien bei den Benutzern auslösen, so dass auch in dieser Hinsicht Bedarf an innovativen Produkten besteht. Zudem werden die aus Plastik hergestellten Aufprallprotektoren von vielen Sportlern als einschränkend bzw. als unangenehm beim Tragen empfunden.Although such lower leg protectors have proven useful in practice, they are made from less environmentally friendly materials, so that there is potential for improvement, especially with regard to the question of sustainability, which is becoming increasingly important. In addition, the plastic materials used for the known shin guards can trigger allergies in the users, so that there is a need for innovative products in this regard as well. In addition, many athletes find the impact protectors made of plastic to be restrictive or uncomfortable to wear.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Aufprallprotektor vorzuschlagen, welcher eine mindestens vergleichbare Schutzwirkung aufweist wie beispielsweise die bekannten Aufprallprotektor, dabei aber zudem aus rezyklierbaren und gesundheitlich unbedenklichen Material herstellbar ist und einen erhöhten Tragekomfort aufweist.The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing an impact protector which has at least a comparable protective effect to, for example, the known impact protector, but which can also be produced from recyclable and non-hazardous material and is more comfortable to wear.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch einen Aufprallprotektor gelöst, wie er im unabhängigen Anspruch 1 definiert ist. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsvarianten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.The object is achieved according to the invention by an impact protector as defined in
Das Wesen der Erfindung besteht im Folgenden: Ein Aufprallprotektor, welcher insbesondere zum Schutz vor äusserer Krafteinwirkung dient. Der Aufprallprotektor weist einen Grundkörper mit einer Innenseite und mit einer Aussenseite auf. Dabei ist der Grundkörper vorzugsweise konvex nach aussen hin gewölbt. Der Grundkörper ist aus einem Korkmaterial, insbesondere aus einem Presskorkmaterial, gebildet.The essence of the invention consists in the following: An impact protector, which serves in particular to protect against the effects of external forces. The impact protector has a base body with an inside and an outside. The base body is preferably convex towards the outside arched. The base body is formed from a cork material, in particular from a pressed cork material.
Der Begriff "Innenseite" bezeichnet vorliegend die dem jeweils zu schützenden Körperteil, wie etwa dem Schienbein, des Benutzers zugewandte Seite des Grundkörpers.The term “inside” in the present case refers to the side of the base body that is to be protected in each case, such as the shin, of the user.
Der Begriff "Aussenseite" bezeichnet vorliegend die dem zu schützenden Körperteil, wie etwa dem Schienbein, des Benutzers abgewandte Seite des Grundkörpers.In the present case, the term “outside” refers to the side of the base body that is remote from the body part to be protected, such as the user's shin.
Der Begriff "Korkmaterial" bezeichnet vorliegend jedwedes Material welches aus Korkrinde, Korkresten, Korkspänen, Korkstücken sowie aus Korkabfällen besteht. Der Aufprallprotektor kann grundsätzlich auch einstückig aus Korkrinde hergestellt bzw. ausgestanzt sein oder aber er kann aus mehreren Teilen/Teilchen bestehen, welche ggf. miteinander verklebt und/oder verpresst sind.The term "cork material" refers to any material consisting of cork bark, cork residue, cork shavings, cork pieces and cork waste. In principle, the impact protector can also be produced or punched out in one piece from cork bark, or it can consist of several parts/particles which are possibly glued and/or pressed together.
Der Begriff "Presskorkmaterial" bezeichnet vorliegend insbesondere aus einem Granulat hergestelltes Korkmaterial, welches mit einem Bindemittel versetzt und verpresst wird. Es sind auch Ausführungsformen denkbar, in welchen das Korkgranulat mit einem elastomeren Material versetzt wird, wie beispielsweise Kautschuk.In the present case, the term “pressed cork material” refers in particular to cork material produced from granules, to which a binding agent is added and which is pressed. Embodiments are also conceivable in which the cork granules are mixed with an elastomeric material, such as rubber.
Die konvexe Wölbung des Grundkörpers kann je nach Einsatzbereich unterschiedlich stark ausfallen. Es sind allerdings auch ungewölbte Formen für den Grundkörper denkbar, welche im Wesentlichen plattenartig ausgebildet sind.The convex curvature of the base body can vary depending on the area of application. However, non-curved shapes are also conceivable for the base body, which are designed essentially like plates.
Vorzugsweise ist der Grundkörper aus einem vollverpressten Korkmaterial gebildet. Unter dem Begriff "vollverpresst" wird vorliegend verstanden, dass der Grundkörper nur aus einer einzigen Lage bzw. Schicht aus Presskorkmaterial besteht.The base body is preferably formed from a fully pressed cork material. The term "fully pressed" is understood here to mean that the base body consists of only a single ply or layer of pressed cork material.
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Grundkörper aus mehreren Lagen eines verpressten Korkmaterials (d.h. insbesondere eines Presskorkmaterials) gebildet, wobei die mehreren Lagen aus verpresstem Korkmaterial vorzugsweise miteinander verklebt sind. Im Falle von beispielsweise drei Lagen (bzw. Schichten) wäre zwischen der inneren und der mittleren Lage/Schicht sowie zwischen der mittleren und der äusseren Lage/Schicht jeweils eine Klebeschicht vorgesehen, welche vorzugsweise aus einem lösungsmittelfreien Kontaktkleber (z.B. D310) gebildet wird. Es können insbesondere zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun oder zehn oder mehr Lagen/Schichten vorgesehen sein.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the base body is formed from several layers of a pressed cork material (ie in particular a pressed cork material), the several layers of pressed cork material preferably being glued to one another. In the case of three plies (or layers), for example, an adhesive layer would be provided between the inner and middle ply/layer and between the middle and outer ply/layer, which would preferably be formed from a solvent-free contact adhesive (eg D310). becomes. In particular, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten or more plies/layers can be provided.
Beide vorgenannten Ausführungsformen gewährleisten ein besonderes ausgeprägtes Absorbieren, Dämmen und Teilen bzw. Ableiten der von aussen einwirkenden Kräfte. Zudem kann eine stark ausgeprägte Bruchhemmung und Bruchresistenz erzielt werden. Weiterhin kann generell die Elastizität der Aufprallprotektoren erhöht werden sowie auch deren Stabilität, insbesondere mit Blick auf eine optimale Druckfestigkeit, Zugfestigkeit und Rissfestigkeit.Both of the aforementioned embodiments ensure a particularly pronounced absorbing, insulating and dividing or dissipation of the forces acting from the outside. In addition, a highly pronounced fracture inhibition and fracture resistance can be achieved. Furthermore, the elasticity of the impact protectors can generally be increased, as well as their stability, in particular with regard to optimal compressive strength, tensile strength and tear resistance.
Vorzugsweise weist der Grundkörper an seiner Innenseite eine aus mehreren von der Innenseite des Grundkörpers abstehenden ersten Strukturelementen gebildete Anliegestruktur auf, welche vorzugsweise konfiguriert ist ein Verrutschen des Aufprallprotektors relativ zum jeweils zu schützenden Körperteil zu unterbinden. Eine gewisse Beweglichkeit, etwa bei stark ausgeprägten bzw. extremen Bewegungen soll aber stets gewährleistet bleiben. Zudem vermag die Anliegestruktur die Dehnbarkeit zu erhöhen, Rissbildung zu vermeiden und Kräfte gezielt abzulenken.On its inside, the base body preferably has a contact structure formed from a plurality of first structural elements protruding from the inside of the base body, which is preferably configured to prevent the impact protector from slipping relative to the body part to be protected. A certain mobility, for example in the case of pronounced or extreme movements, should always be guaranteed. In addition, the fitting structure is able to increase extensibility, prevent cracking and deflect forces in a targeted manner.
Vorzugsweise sind die ersten Strukturelemente als runde, ovale, dreieckige, quadratische, rechteckige, fünfeckige, sechseckige und/oder mehreckige Strukturelemente ausgebildet. Diese Geometrien haben sich als besonders effizient erwiesen; sie können je nach Körperpartie und/oder Sportart auch kombiniert werden, um etwa spezielle Haft- bzw. Gleiteigenschaften zu erzielen. Vorzugsweise weisen die ersten Strukturelemente eine im Wesentlichen flache Oberseite auf, d.h. welche zum Beispiel am Schienbein zum Anliegen kommt.The first structural elements are preferably designed as round, oval, triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal and/or polygonal structural elements. These geometries have proven to be particularly efficient; Depending on the part of the body and/or type of sport, they can also be combined in order to achieve special adhesive or gliding properties. Preferably, the first structural elements have a substantially flat upper surface, i.e. which abuts the tibia, for example.
Vorzugsweise stehen die ersten Strukturelemente von 1 mm bis 5 mm, vorzugsweise von 2 mm bis 4 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von 2.5 mm bis 3.5 mm von der Innenseite des Grundkörpers ab. Diese Abstände haben sich als besonders praktisch erwiesen, da eine gewisse Luftzirkulation gewährleistet wird und ggf. Schweiss leichter abfliessen kann. Zudem kann hierdurch ein optimaler Kräftefluss erzielt werden, d.h. die Kräfte können optimal abgeleitet bzw. geteilt werden.The first structural elements preferably protrude from the inside of the base body by 1 mm to 5 mm, preferably by 2 mm to 4 mm, more preferably by 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm. These distances have proven to be particularly practical, since a certain amount of air circulation is guaranteed and sweat can drain off more easily. In addition, an optimal flow of forces can be achieved, i.e. the forces can be optimally derived or divided.
Vorzugsweise betragen die Zwischenelementabstände zwischen den einzelnen ersten Strukturelementen von 2 mm bis 20 mm, vorzugsweise von 3 mm bis 18 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von 4 mm bis 15 mm und noch weiter vorzugsweise von 5 mm bis 10 mm. Unter "Zwischenelementabstand" wird vorliegend der kleinste Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Strukturelementen (bzw. deren Aussenumfang) verstanden Hierdurch können die vorgenannten Vorteile bzgl. der Höhenabstände noch verstärkt werden. Die ersten Strukturelemente nehmen vorzugsweise 30 % bis 90 %, vorzugsweise 40 % bis 80 %, weiter vorzugsweise 50 % bis 70 % der Oberfläche der Innenseite des Grundkörpers ein.The inter-element distances between the individual first structural elements are preferably from 2 mm to 20 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 18 mm, more preferably from 4 mm to 15 mm and even more preferably from 5 mm to 10mm. In the present case, “inter-element distance” is understood to mean the smallest distance between two adjacent structural elements (or their outer circumference). As a result, the above-mentioned advantages with regard to the height distances can be increased even further. The first structural elements preferably take up 30% to 90%, preferably 40% to 80%, more preferably 50% to 70% of the surface of the inside of the base body.
Vorzugsweise weist der Grundkörper an seiner Aussenseite eine aus einem oder aber aus mehreren von der Aussenseite des Grundkörpers abstehenden zweiten Strukturelement(en) gebildete Schutzstruktur auf, welche vorzugsweise konfiguriert ist die Festigkeit des Aufprallprotektors zu erhöhen. Zum einen kann auf diese Weise der Aufprallschutz erhöht werden, andererseits kann so zudem die Stabilität des Aufprallprotektors insgesamt erhöht werden, z.B. gegen ein ungewolltes Brechen. Darüber hinaus kann die Schutzstruktur auch die Dehnbarkeit erhöhen, Rissbildung vermeiden und Kräfte gezielt ablenken. Die mehreren zweiten Strukturelemente weisen regelmässig dieselben oder ähnliche Geometrien auf wie die ersten Strukturelemente.On its outside, the base body preferably has a protective structure formed from one or more second structural element(s) protruding from the outside of the base body, which is preferably configured to increase the strength of the impact protector. On the one hand, the impact protection can be increased in this way, on the other hand, the stability of the impact protector can be increased overall, e.g. against accidental breaking. In addition, the protective structure can also increase extensibility, prevent cracking and deflect forces in a targeted manner. The plurality of second structural elements regularly have the same or similar geometries as the first structural elements.
Vorzugsweise ist ein (einziges) zweites Strukturelement vorgesehen, welches mittig auf der Aussenseite des Grundkörpers angeordnet ist und welches vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Längsseiten und/oder den Querseiten des Aufprallprotektors verläuft. Hierdurch können ein besonders wirksamer Aufprallschutz sowie eine besonders hohe Stabilität erreicht werden.A (single) second structural element is preferably provided, which is arranged centrally on the outside of the base body and which preferably runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal sides and/or the transverse sides of the impact protector. As a result, particularly effective impact protection and particularly high stability can be achieved.
Vorzugsweise steht das eine zweite Strukturelement oder aber stehen die mehreren zweiten Strukturelemente von 1 mm bis 8 mm, vorzugsweise von 2 mm bis 6 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von 3 mm bis 5 mm von der Aussenseite des Grundkörpers ab. Auf diese Weise können die Schutzwirkung und der Kräftefluss weiter verbessert werden. Die Zwischenelementabstände bei den zweiten Strukturelementen entsprechenden den Zwischenelementabständen bei den ersten Strukturelementen.The one second structural element or the plurality of second structural elements preferably protrude by 1 mm to 8 mm, preferably by 2 mm to 6 mm, more preferably by 3 mm to 5 mm from the outside of the base body. In this way, the protective effect and the flow of forces can be further improved. The inter-element distances in the second structure elements correspond to the inter-element distances in the first structure elements.
Vorzugsweise liegt die Dichte des Korkmaterials, insbesondere des Presskorkmaterials, zwischen etwa 150 kg/m2 und etwa 800 kg/m2, vorzugsweise zwischen etwa 170 kg/m2 und etwa 500 kg/m2, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen etwa 190 kg/m2 und etwa 400 kg/m2 und noch weiter vorzugsweise zwischen etwa 200 kg/m2 und etwa 300 kg/m2. In diesen Bereichen kann durch die entsprechende Deformierbarkeit des Korks eine besonders guter Aufprallschutz bzw. eine besonders gute Kraftaufnahme erzielt werden. Kork als mit Luftzellen versehenes Material kann bis auf die Hälfte (oder gar 70 %) seiner Dicke zusammengedrückt werden, so dass die von aussen wirkenden Kräfte je nach Korkdichte (und -dicke) unterschiedlich abgelenkt werden. Zudem federt der Kork anschliessend wieder in seine ursprüngliche Form zurück. Kork weist zudem besonders gute Dämmeigenschaften auf.The density of the cork material, in particular the pressed cork material, is preferably between about 150 kg/m 2 and about 800 kg/m 2 , preferably between about 170 kg/m 2 and about 500 kg/m 2 , more preferably between about 190 kg/
Vorzugsweise beträgt die Korngrösse des Korkmaterials, insbesondere des Presskorkmaterials, von 0.025 mm bis 10 mm, vorzugsweise von 0.3 mm bis 5 mm und weiter vorzugsweise von 0.4 mm bis 1 mm. Mit den entsprechenden Korngrössen können die vorgenannten Effekte noch gesteigert werden. Je nach Region des Aufprallprotektors können sich allerdings die Dichte und die Korngrösse verändern bzw. im Hinblick auf spezielle Anforderungen angepasst werden.The grain size of the cork material, in particular the pressed cork material, is preferably from 0.025 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 5 mm and more preferably from 0.4 mm to 1 mm. With the appropriate grain sizes, the aforementioned effects can be increased. Depending on the region of the impact protector, however, the density and grain size can change or be adapted to special requirements.
Vorzugsweise beträgt die Dicke des Grundkörpers von 1 mm bis 200 mm, bevorzugt von 1 mm bis 80 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von 1 mm bis 12 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von 2 mm bis 10 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von 3 mm bis 8.5 mm und noch weiter vorzugsweise von 4 mm bis 6 mm. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine optimale Schutzwirkung sowie gleichzeitig ein optimaler Tragekomfort. Insbesondere im Fall von Aufprallprotektoren für den Rücken- und Hüftbereich können die Grundkörper aus einer Vielzahl von miteinander verklebten Lagen/Schichten gebildet sein, so dass sich im Extremfall Dicken für den Grundkörper von bis zu 20 cm ergeben können. Im Falle von Schienbeinschonern sind bevorzugt drei Lagen/Schichten miteinander verklebt, was regelmässig zu einer maximalen Dicke von ungefähr 12 mm führt. Dieselben Dicken können aber auch beim Vollverpressen erzielt werden.The thickness of the base body is preferably from 1 mm to 200 mm, preferably from 1 mm to 80 mm, more preferably from 1 mm to 12 mm, more preferably from 2 mm to 10 mm, more preferably from 3 mm to 8.5 mm and even more preferably from 4mm to 6mm. This results in an optimal protective effect and at the same time optimal wearing comfort. Particularly in the case of impact protectors for the back and hip areas, the base body can be formed from a large number of plies/layers glued together, so that in extreme cases the base body can be up to 20 cm thick. In the case of shin guards, three plies/layers are preferably glued together, which regularly results in a maximum thickness of approximately 12 mm. However, the same thicknesses can also be achieved with full compression.
Vorzugsweise dienen als Bindemittel für das Korkmaterial, insbesondere das Presskorkmaterial, Polyurethan-Kunstharze, Phenolharze (Formaldehydharz), Melaminharze oder pflanzliche Harze dienen. Hierdurch kann ein besonders fester Verbund gewährleistet werden.The binders used for the cork material, in particular the pressed cork material, are preferably polyurethane synthetic resins, phenolic resins (formaldehyde resin), melamine resins or vegetable resins. As a result, a particularly strong connection can be guaranteed.
Vorzugsweise weisen die Innenseite und/oder die Aussenseite des Grundkörpers eine Oberflächenbearbeitung in Form einer Mehrfach-Vorversiegelung, einer Bedruckung, einer Beizung, einer Imprägnierung, einer Lackierung, einer Lasierung, einer Ölung, eines Wachsens und/oder einer Gravur auf.The inside and/or the outside of the base body preferably have a surface finish in the form of multiple pre-sealing, printing, staining, impregnation, lacquering, glazing, oiling, waxing and/or engraving.
Die erfindungsgemässen Aufprallprotektoren können dabei mittels Gravur personalisiert oder mittels Bedrucken farbig oder schwarz-weiss gestaltet werden. Auch eine farbige Granulatwahl ist möglich.The impact protectors according to the invention can be personalized by means of engraving or designed in color or black and white by means of printing. A colored granulate selection is also possible.
Kork als Rohmaterial aus einer natürlich nachwachsenden Baumrinde ist für die Herstellung der erfindungsgemässen Aufprallprotektoren neben den vorteilhaften Schutzaspekten auch besonders umweltfreundlich, da auf Plastik und Synthetik verzichtet werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann ein zeitgemässer Konsum befördert werden inklusive einer Wertevermittlung auf allen Ebenen, d.h. vom Sportler bis zu den Vereinen und Organisationen bzw. Verbänden.In addition to the advantageous protective aspects, cork as a raw material from a naturally renewable tree bark is also particularly environmentally friendly for the production of the impact protectors according to the invention, since plastic and synthetic materials can be dispensed with. In this way, contemporary consumption can be promoted, including the transmission of values at all levels, i.e. from athletes to clubs and organizations or associations.
Schliesslich sei noch angemerkt, dass etwa bei herkömmlichen Schienbeinschonern aus Plastik oftmals in der Kniekehle oder auch direkt am Schienbein Allergien sowie Rötungen und Juckreize auftreten. Dagegen verursacht Kork als natürlich nachwachsender Rohstoff keinerlei Hautprobleme und ist überdies geruchsneutral. Dank des in seinen Zellwänden enthaltenen Suberins sowie der Ceroide, ist Kork praktisch undurchlässig für Flüssigkeiten, Milben, Bakterien Schädlinge, Fäulnis, Chemikalien und Gase. Kork ist somit in der taktilen und haptischen Wahrnehmung juckfrei, milben- und allergenfrei. Ausserdem ist Kork beim Tragen kaum spürbar und unterstützt durch seine Leichtigkeit eine bislang ungekannte Körperfreiheit während des Sports.Finally, it should be noted that with conventional shin guards made of plastic, allergies as well as redness and itching often occur in the hollow of the knee or directly on the shin. On the other hand, as a naturally renewable raw material, cork does not cause any skin problems and is also odorless. Thanks to the suberin contained in its cell walls and ceroids, cork is virtually impermeable to liquids, mites, bacteria, pests, rot, chemicals and gases. In terms of tactile and haptic perception, cork is therefore free of itching, mites and allergens. In addition, cork is hardly noticeable when worn and, thanks to its lightness, supports a previously unknown body freedom during sport.
Die erfindungsgemässen Aufprallprotektoren können direkt auf der Haut getragen werden oder aber sie können in ein Textilfutter bzw. in eine Textilhalterungsvorrichtung, wie etwa ein Hemd, eine Hose, einen Strumpf etc. eingesteckt werden. Diesbezüglich weist die Textilhalterungsvorrichtung vorzugsweise geeignete Taschen auf, in welche die Aufprallprotektoren eingesteckt werden können. Die Aufprallprotektoren können aber auch in die Textilhalterungsvorrichtung eingenäht, eingebettet oder eingeschweisst sein.The impact protectors according to the invention can be worn directly on the skin or they can be inserted into a textile lining or into a textile fastening device such as a shirt, pants, stocking etc. In this regard, the textile holding device preferably has suitable pockets into which the impact protectors can be inserted. However, the impact protectors can also be sewn, embedded or welded into the textile mounting device.
Die vorliegende Erfindung umfasst in einem weiteren Aspekt eine Textilhalterungsvorrichtung mit einem erfindungsgemässen Aufprallprotektor. Die Textilhalterungsvorrichtungen können aus natürlichen oder künstlichen Stoffen bzw. Fasern hergestellt sein. Zudem weisen sie bevorzugt Taschen auf, in die die Aufprallprotektoren eingebracht werden können. Die Taschen können offen sein oder zugenäht sein. Sie können auch etwa mittels eines Reiss- oder Klettverschlusses verschliessbar sein. Zudem können die Aufprallprotektoren in die Textilhalterungsvorrichtung eingeschweisst sein.

Diese räumlichen Relativangaben umfassen auch andere Positionen und Ausrichtungen als die in den Figuren dargestellten. Zum Beispiel wenn ein in den Figuren dargestelltes Teil umgedreht wird, sind Elemente oder Merkmale, die als "unterhalb" beschrieben sind, dann "oberhalb". Die Terminologie umfasst die oben ausdrücklich erwähnten Wörter, Ableitungen von denselben und Wörter ähnlicher Bedeutung.Certain terms may be used in the following description for convenience and are not intended to be limiting. The words "right", "left", "down" and "up" denote directions in the drawing to which reference is made. The terms "inward,""outward,""below,""above,""left,""right," or the like are used to describe the placement of designated parts relative to one another, the movement of designated parts relative to one another, and directions toward or away from geometric center of the invention and named parts thereof as shown in the figures. These spatial relatives also include positions and orientations other than those shown in the figures. For example, if a part shown in the figures is turned over, elements or features described as "below" are then "above". The terminology includes the words expressly mentioned above, derivatives thereof and words of similar import.
Um Wiederholungen in den Figuren und der zugehörigen Beschreibung der verschiedenen Aspekte und Ausführungsbeispiele zu vermeiden, sollen bestimmte Merkmale als gemeinsam für verschieden Aspekte und Ausführungsbeispiele verstanden werden. Das Weglassen eines Aspekts in der Beschreibung oder einer Figur lässt nicht darauf schliessen, dass dieser Aspekt in dem zugehörigen Ausführungsbeispiel fehlt. Vielmehr kann ein solches Weglassen der Klarheit und dem Verhindern von Wiederholungen dienen. In diesem Zusammenhang gilt für die gesamte weitere Beschreibung folgende Festlegung: Sind in einer Figur zum Zweck zeichnerischer Eindeutigkeit Bezugszeichen enthalten, aber im unmittelbar zugehörigen Beschreibungstext nicht erwähnt, so wird auf deren Erläuterung in vorangehenden Figurenbeschreibungen Bezug genommen. Sind ausserdem im unmittelbar zu einer Figur gehörigen Beschreibungstext Bezugszeichen erwähnt, die in der zugehörigen Figur nicht enthalten sind, so wird auf die vorangehenden und nachstehenden Figuren verwiesen. Ähnliche Bezugszeichen in zwei oder mehreren Figuren stehen für ähnliche oder gleiche Elemente.In order to avoid repetitions in the figures and the associated description of the various aspects and exemplary embodiments, certain features should be understood as being common to various aspects and exemplary embodiments. The omission of an aspect in the description or in a figure does not imply that this aspect is missing in the associated exemplary embodiment. Rather, such omission may serve for clarity and to avoid repetition. In this context, the following stipulation applies to the entire further description: If reference numbers are contained in a figure for the purpose of clarity in the drawing, but are not mentioned in the directly associated description text, reference is made to their explanation in the preceding figure descriptions. If, in addition, in the descriptive text belonging directly to a figure, reference symbols are mentioned which are not contained in the associated figure, then reference is made to the preceding and following figures. Similar reference numbers in two or more figures indicate similar or identical elements.
