PROTECCIÓN DEPORTIVA DESCRIPCIÓN  SPORTS PROTECTION DESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención está relacionada con las protecciones deportivas, en concreto con los dispositivos para proteger las articulaciones de los deportistas. The present invention is related to sports protections, in particular with devices for protecting athletes' joints.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad, es difícil apreciar innovaciones en el desarrollo de protecciones deportivas para atenuar y disminuir la presión de los impactos recibidos sobre los maléolos, tendones flexores- extensores del pie, tendón de Aquiles, ligamentos de la articulación y resto del área circundante a esta. Los golpes en estas partes pueden producir lesiones, lesiones crónicas por traumatismos repetitivos y en los casos más extremos, inhabilitaciones para la práctica del deporte profesional. Este hecho podemos observarlo, tanto en el deporte profesional como en el amateur. At present, it is difficult to appreciate innovations in the development of sports protections to attenuate and reduce the pressure of the impacts received on the malleoli, flexor-extensor tendons of the foot, Achilles tendon, ligaments of the joint and rest of the area surrounding it. . The blows in these parts can produce injuries, chronic injuries due to repetitive trauma and in the most extreme cases, disqualifications for the practice of professional sports. We can observe this fact, both in professional and amateur sports.
Una solución parcial existente, aunque no cómoda, ni efectiva, es la incorporación a las espinilleras usadas en la práctica del fútbol, de unas pequeñas orejetas que las alargan hacia los maléolos y que contienen unos casquetes esféricos rígidos, que cuando el futbolista, se pone la media se pliegan hacia los lados, pero no cuentan con elementos eficaces de posicionamiento, ni de alivio de la presión en caso de impacto, con lo cual este impacto es transmitido a la parte que deberíamos proteger. De igual forma, se desplazan en la carrera ocasionando rozaduras en la piel, ya que no están fijadas de manera precisa. An existing partial solution, although not comfortable, or effective, is the incorporation to the shin guards used in the practice of football, of small lugs that extend them towards the malleoli and that contain rigid spherical caps, which when the soccer player puts on the average fold sideways, but they do not have effective positioning elements, nor pressure relief in case of impact, so that this impact is transmitted to the part that we should protect. Similarly, they move in the race causing chafing on the skin, since they are not fixed precisely.

EXPOSICIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓN  Figures 3A-3B These figures show right and left side views of an embodiment of the protection according to the invention. DETAILED EXHIBITION OF THE INVENTION
En la figura 1 se muestra una realización particular de una protección (1) según la invención, adecuada para proteger los maléolos, tendones flexores-extensores del pie, tendón de Aquiles, ligamentos del tobillo y resto del área circundante a esta, adecuada para la zona del tobillo izquierdo de un usuario. En una realización particular, la protección adecuada para la zona del tobillo derecho será simétrica a esta. Figure 1 shows a particular embodiment of a protection (1) according to the invention, suitable for protecting the malleoli, flexor-extensor tendons of the foot, Achilles tendon, ligaments of the ankle and rest of the area surrounding it, suitable for left ankle area of a user. In a particular embodiment, adequate protection for the right ankle area will be symmetrical to it.
Esta protección (1) comprende un cuerpo principal (4) en el que se encuentran integrados dos elementos de refuerzo (5). En una realización particular, este cuerpo principal (4) es una banda flexible, y tiene una zona interior, destinada a estar en contacto con la piel del usuario, y una zona exterior, sustancialmente opuesta a la zona interior. Aunque en la figura 1 aparece una banda cerrada sobre sí misma, en otras realizaciones, el cuerpo principal (4) es una banda abierta, que comprende medios de cierre. Cada elemento de refuerzo (5) tiene una zona interior destinada a estar en contacto con la piel del usuario, y una zona exterior, sustancialmente opuesta a la zona interior. Cada elemento de refuerzo (5) comprende a su vez al menos una cavidad (5.1) en la zona interior destinada a ceñirse sobre el maléolo del tobillo; y, de tal modo que cada elemento de refuerzo (5) está destinado a proteger un maléolo distinto. En realizaciones particulares, este elemento de refuerzo (5) tiene una zona interior con una cavidad (5.1) de sección sustancialmente troncocónica, siendo la base más grande la que queda en la zona interior y la base más pequeña la que queda en la zona exterior. En una realización particular, esta zona exterior comprende un alojamiento (5.2) que permite el acoplamiento de unos elementos de protección ante impacto (2, 3). Además, este elemento de refuerzo tiene un agujero pasante (5.3). En realizaciones particulares, los elementos de refuerzo (5) están integrados en el cuerpo principal (4) de modos diversos: pegados, cosidos, sobreinyectados o formando directamente una única pieza con el cuerpo principal (4). This protection (1) comprises a main body (4) in which two reinforcement elements (5) are integrated. In a particular embodiment, this main body (4) is a flexible band, and has an inner zone, intended to be in contact with the user's skin, and an outer zone, substantially opposite the inner zone. Although in figure 1 a closed band appears on itself, in other embodiments, the main body (4) is an open band, comprising closing means. Each reinforcing element (5) has an inner zone intended to be in contact with the user's skin, and an outer zone, substantially opposite to the inner zone. Each reinforcing element (5) in turn comprises at least one cavity (5.1) in the inner area intended to be fitted on the ankle malleolus; and, so that each reinforcing element (5) is intended to protect a different malleolus. In particular embodiments, this reinforcing element (5) has an inner zone with a cavity (5.1) of substantially truncated conical section, with the largest base remaining in the inner zone and the smallest base remaining in the outer zone . In a particular embodiment, this outer zone comprises a housing (5.2) that allows the coupling of impact protection elements (2, 3). In addition, this reinforcing element has a through hole (5.3). In particular embodiments, the reinforcing elements (5) are integrated in the main body (4) in various ways: glued, sewn, over-injected or directly forming a single piece with the main body (4).
En realizaciones particulares, el cuerpo principal (4) está fabricado en un material elástico o elástico espumado, como por ejemplo: PET reticulado de célula cerrada, EVA espumado, TPU, PU, PUR o silicona. Una ventaja de ello es que de esta manera, el cuerpo principal (4) abraza el tobillo a la cual rodea y queda fija alrededor de ella, incrementando la sensación de estabilidad. In particular embodiments, the main body (4) is made of a foamed elastic or elastic material, such as: closed cell crosslinked PET, foamed EVA, TPU, PU, PUR or silicone. An advantage of this is that in this way, the main body (4) hugs the ankle to which it surrounds and is fixed around it, increasing the feeling of stability.
En realizaciones particulares, cada elemento de refuerzo (5) está fabricado a la medida del tobillo del usuario. En una realización particular, la zona interior de cada elemento de refuerzo (5) es cóncava. En una realización particular, la zona interior de cada elemento de refuerzo (5) comprende una pared en forma de cono truncado, con la base mayor abierta del cono correspondiendo a la zona interior y la base menor abierta del cono correspondiendo a la zona exterior. In particular embodiments, each reinforcing element (5) is made to fit the user's ankle. In a particular embodiment, the inner zone of each reinforcing element (5) is concave. In a particular embodiment, the inner zone of each reinforcing element (5) comprises a truncated cone-shaped wall, with the largest open base of the cone corresponding to the inner zone and the smallest open base of the cone corresponding to the outer zone.
Además, tal y como se ha descrito, la protección (1) comprende adicionalmente en una realización particular unos elementos de protección ante impacto (2, 3) acoplados en la zona exterior de cada elemento de refuerzo (5). Estos elementos de protección ante impacto (2, 3) están adaptados para absorber o disminuir la presión de los impactos recibidos, y están destinados a proteger el tobillo del usuario. En distintas realizaciones particulares, los elementos de protección ante impacto (2, 3) están fabricados en distintos materiales, preferiblemente materiales no metálicos y rígidos, como por ejemplo: PA6, PEEK, PP, POM, PC, Fibra de Carbono, Kevlar, o una mezcla de los anteriores. En otras realizaciones particulares, están forrados o fabricados de un material textil, como por ejemplo: cuero, piel, tela vaquera, poli piel. En la figura 2 se muestra una vista en sección del cuerpo principal (4), donde se puede observar una realización particular de la forma en sección de un elemento de refuerzo (5). En esta figura se observan en sección la zona interior con la cavidad (5.1) de sección sustancialmente troncocónica, y el alojamiento (5.2) que permite el acoplamiento de uno de los elementos de protección ante impacto (no mostrado). Además, en esta figura se puede observar cómo el agujero pasante (5.3) está practicado en la zona que correspondería al menor espesor de la cavidad (5.1), de modo que se consigue que la zona de menor espesor de la cavidad (5.1) tenga un espesor mayor que el que tendría si no estuviera practicado el agujero pasante (5.3). Furthermore, as described, the protection (1) additionally comprises in a particular embodiment impact protection elements (2, 3) coupled in the outer area of each reinforcing element (5). These impact protection elements (2, 3) are adapted to absorb or reduce the pressure of the impacts received, and are intended to protect the ankle of the user. In different particular embodiments, the impact protection elements (2, 3) are made of different materials, preferably non-metallic and rigid materials, such as: PA6, PEEK, PP, POM, PC, Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, or A mixture of the above. In other particular embodiments, they are lined or made of a textile material, such as: leather, leather, denim, poly leather. A sectional view of the main body (4) is shown in Figure 2, where a particular embodiment of the sectional shape of a reinforcing element (5) can be observed. In this figure, the inner area with the cavity (5.1) of substantially truncated conical section and the housing (5.2) that allows the coupling of one of the impact protection elements (not shown) are observed in section. In addition, in this figure it can be seen how the through hole (5.3) is made in the area that would correspond to the smaller thickness of the cavity (5.1), so that the area of smaller thickness of the cavity (5.1) is achieved a thickness greater than what it would have if the through hole (5.3) was not made.
En las figuras 3A y 3B se puede apreciar con mayor claridad la geometría o forma de este cuerpo principal (4), que comprende varias secciones rectas y varias secciones curva. En esta realización de las figuras se observa que el cuerpo principal (4) no define una curva plana, sino que la forma del cuerpo principal (4) en reposo es adecuada para proteger los maléolos, los tendones flexores-extensores del pie, el tendón de Aquiles, los ligamentos del tobillo y resto del área circundante a éste. In figures 3A and 3B, the geometry or shape of this main body (4), comprising several straight sections and several curved sections, can be seen more clearly. In this embodiment of the figures it is observed that the main body (4) does not define a flat curve, but that the shape of the main body (4) at rest is suitable to protect the malleoli, the flexor-extensor tendons of the foot, the tendon of Achilles, the ankle ligaments and the rest of the area surrounding it.
A la vista de estas figuras, se observa que el cuerpo principal (4) está destinado a estar en contacto con las partes mencionadas a proteger, mientras que los elementos de protección ante impacto (2, 3) están situados en una posición exterior en el cuerpo principal (4). In view of these figures, it can be seen that the main body (4) is intended to be in contact with the aforementioned parts to be protected, while the impact protection elements (2, 3) are located in an external position in the main body (4).
En una realización particular, al menos algún elemento de este protector (4) comprende sustancias foto-luminiscentes o fluorescentes, o bien llevar iluminación incorporada, del tipo led o cualquier otra conocida en el estado de la técnica, para hacerlo visible en casos de poca luz, como por ejemplo cuando el usuario corre por una carretera o campo de noche. In a particular embodiment, at least some element of this protector (4) comprises photo-luminescent or fluorescent substances, or carry built-in lighting, of the LED type or any other known in the prior art, to make it visible in cases of low light, such as when the user runs on a road or field at night.
En una realización particular, la protección (1) comprende medios de captación o medición, adaptados para medir, por ejemplo, las pulsaciones del usuario, la distancia recorrida, el tiempo, la presión de impacto o la presión arterial. En otras realizaciones, también comprende medios de transmisión, recepción, geo localización o identificación.
