Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention is related to a personal protective equipment for a gaming machine. Especially it refers to a personal protective equipment for wrists and hands, including wrist guard, elbow support and supportive strip to prevent sports injury.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Traditional wrist guard is usually made of elastic fabrics. It is to wrap, support and protect wrists to prevent injury. In design it adopts the shape of wide wrapping strip. The principle is to use elastic material to wrap around wrist joint, so it allows support and protection for wrist joint and muscle. This prevents injury due to external impact or chronic injury. However, since the sizes for traditional wrist guard are usually only available in “S”, “M”, “L” or “XL”. Some users can only compromise between a “larger size” and a “smaller size”. If it does not fit, there is a risk of injury. If the user gets all sizes, it costs much.[000...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a personal protective equipment for gaming machines that enhances support and fixation for the wrist and elbow, and prevents sports injuries. It achieves this by adding a supportive strip between the wrist band and the elbow support, which fixes the distance between them. This ensures that there will be no shifting or loose wrist band or elbow support."

Problems solved by technology

If it does not fit, there is a risk of injury.

If the user gets all sizes, it costs much.

Nevertheless, since elbow joint usually repeats between a straight line and a “<” shape during sports, the elbow support tends to shift and reduces its protection.

Thus, when the user plays the game for a long time, their hand is prone to sports injury.

Especially the injury tends to happen in the muscle of the lower arm.

If the game player wears traditional protective wrist guard or elbow support, it will have reduced protection due to equipment shift after repeating bending and stretching of the arm.
