Benefits of technology

[0007] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide athletes in contact sports and other sports with a system that reduce or nullify injuries, fractures in the ankle region, by avoiding direct impacts of sharp objects into skin and bones. The system will absorb the kinetic energy of the impact on its surface.
[0009] The ankle Protection system its form by an integrated construction in the rear top of the shoe in form of a cushioned plastic shell (plastic convex Shell) that provides protection to the ankle region against impacts in both sides of the foot, providing at the same time full movement capacity. A flexible membrane positioned in the Aquilles tendon area of shoe allows the full movement capacity of the foot.

Problems solved by technology

Most of the related products especially in therapy, which do not address problems in the sport field, only approach the problem of ankle support or, where the main problems laid on ankle sprains.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] The ankle Protection system is conform by an integrated construction in the rear top of the shoe in form of a plastic cushioned layered shell material combination, that provides protection to the ankle region against direct impacts. The system absorbs the kinetic energy of the impact and distributes it equally over its surface with a variety of layered materials under its convex form. An attached flexible membrane positioned in the Aquilles tendon area of shoe system allows the full range movement capacity of the foot.

[0017] The system is hold together to the foot using a Nylon strap attachment (elastic band or Velcro band) that is integrated to the plastic shell and provides adjustment to the system, adaptability of comfort and wraps around the lower part of Tibia and Fibula bones closing the system grip and stability.

[0018] The system provides a solution to avoid the problem of fractures, injuries, bruces and swallows in the ankle region in athletes for specific practice ...

Abstract

The ankle Protection system is conform by an integrated construction in the rear top of the shoe in form of a plastic cushioned shell, that provides protection to the ankle region against impacts in both sides of the foot. An attached flexible membrane positioned in the Aquilles tendon area of shoe system allows the full movement capacity of the foot. The system innovative construction provides a solution to a not seeing problem of injuries cause by impact forces during practice of contact sports. The system is created to avoid the problem of fractures, injuries, open cuts in the skin, bruces and swallows in the ankle region in athletes in the practice of specific sports such as Soccer, Football, Baseball, Skateboard and Skating.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present footwear invention provides a solution for a overseeing injures problems in the ankle region, presented by athletes in the practice of contact sports or others. [0002] The Ankle protection system solve the problematic of direct impacts over the foot surface (ankle), where the system receives the direct impact energy over its own surface and absorb and distribute it equally. Therefore the injuries will have a less dramatic consequence or will be nullify. [0003] There are not proposed designs in the market place that approach protection of this area. Most of the related products especially in therapy, which do not address problems in the sport field, only approach the problem of ankle support or, where the main problems laid on ankle sprains. [0004] In Sports such as Soccer, Football and Baseball there are considerable injuries (fractures), open cuts, in the ankle region as a result of impacts with other athletes and fast moving objects. ...
