[0003] Some clothing of known type comprise protection elements made of plastic material, which are arranged in suitable assembly pockets, or sewn or glued on assembly surfaces provided ad hoc.

[0004] In particular, in the case where the body part to be protected has a marked curvature (for example, the elbow, the knuckles, the knee or the head of the user) and substantially flat protection elements are used, which must adapt to the three-dimensional profile of the body, this type of clothing is generally not particularly ergonomic and comfortable for the user. Moreover, this type of clothing also leaves room for improvement in terms of manufacturing capacity and relative production costs at an industrial level.

[0005] Other clothing of known type comprise elements made of plastic material molded on assembly portions made of fabric or plastic material. This type of clothing can also be uncomfortable for the user and is relatively complex and costly to produce at an industrial level.

[0047] With reference to the attached drawings, the utility model relates to a protection device 1 for a garment 100.

[0048] Figures 1-2 and Figure 6 Different types of garments 100 are illustrated, which comprise a protection device 1 at specific parts of the body to be covered and protected, such as the shoulders, elbows and knees of the user.

[0049] In principle, the garment 100 can be of any type and have any use in the civil, industrial, military or sports field. It can be a piece of clothing, as shown in Figures 1-2 , or an accessory worn by the user (for example, a knee pad, an elbow pad, a bumper, etc.) to protect specific parts of the body, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0050] Figures 3-5 , 7 schematically shows the basic configuration of the protective device according to the utility model.

[0051] The protective device 1 comprises a plurality of layers stacked one on top of the other and preferably connected at one or more peripheral edges 2 Figure 3 . Thus, overall, the protective device is composed of a multilayer structure, capable of at least partial elastic deformation to follow the profile of the body part to be covered and protected.

[0052] This configuration is very advantageous since it greatly facilitates the industrial production of the protective device through procedures compatible and integrable with the industrial manufacturing process of the garment 100. According to the utility model, the protective device 1 comprises a first layer 11, which is elastically deformable and has a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 opposite each other.

[0053] In general, the first layer 11 is intended to operate as a support layer for the structure made of elastically deformable thermoplastic material.

[0054] The first layer 11 of the protective device can be an integral part of the garment 100 or be connected with the latter through techniques of known type (for example, stitching, gluing, heat sealing, etc.).

[0055] Preferably, the first layer 11 is made of elastically deformable material selected from the following materials: fabric, non-woven, foam material or combinations of these materials.

[0056] Preferably, the first layer 11 is arranged to be heat sealable with at least one other layer of the protective device. In this case, if necessary, it can be at least partially covered (for example, at the edges of the protective device) by a heat seal material (for example, TPU or PVC).

[0057] Preferably, the first layer 11 is at least partially made of breathable material to ensure improved comfort for the user.

[0058] The protective device 1 comprises a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material, which is connected with the first layer 11 and arranged to at least partially cover the surface 111 of this layer.

[0059] Preferably, the thermoplastic material consists of TPE, TPU, PVC, HDPE, LDPE or other suitable thermoplastic material.

[0060] In principle, the thermoplastic material can be deposited on the first surface 111 of the first layer 11 by any known type of industrial process, such as injection molding, 3D printing addition, gluing, heat sealing, casting, etc., so as to obtain a structure 10 made of thermoplastic material.

[0061] Preferably, however, the first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material is deposited on the first layer 11 by an injection molding process.

[0062] The first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material can be elastically deformable preferably in one or more deformation directions.

[0063] The first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material can have a continuous, reticular or discrete configuration. Preferably, however, it comprises a plurality of shaped elements made of thermoplastic material independent of each other and arranged side by side according to a desired pattern, for example according to the solution described in patent application DE 102020120936 Al.

[0064] Preferably, the groups of elements made of thermoplastic material are connected to each other so as to facilitate the deformation of the structure along the respective preferred deformation lines.

[0065] The protection device 1 comprises a second layer 12 elastically deformable having a third surface 123 and a fourth surface 124 opposite each other.

[0066] The second layer 12 is arranged so that the third surface 123 of the second layer 12 faces the first layer 11 and the fourth surface 124 faces in the opposite direction with respect to the first layer 11.

[0067] In general, the second layer 12 is intended to cover the first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material connected to the first layer 11.

[0068] The structure 10 made of thermoplastic material connected to the first layer 11 is interposed between the first layer 11 and the second layer 12 of the protection device, in particular between the first surface 111 of the first layer 11 and the third surface 123 of the second layer 12.

[0069] According to some implementation variants of the utility model, which will be described in greater detail below, the second layer 12 of the protection device can also act as a support layer for another elastically deformable structure.

[0070] The second layer 12 can be an integral part of the garment 100 or be connected to the latter by known type techniques, such as sewing, gluing, heat sealing, etc.

[0071] Preferably, the second layer 12 is made of elastically deformable material selected from the group consisting of: fabric, non-woven fabric, foam material, thermoplastic material or combinations of these materials.

[0072] Preferably, the second layer 12 is arranged so as to be heat-sealable with at least one other layer of the protection device. In this case, if necessary, it can be at least partially covered (for example at the edges of the protection device) by a heat-sealable material, for example TPU or PVC.

[0073] Preferably, the first and second layers 11, 12 of the protection device are connected to each other (preferably by heat-sealing) in one or more connection areas 2. The latter are configured to form one or more edges of the protection device, such as Figure 3 indicated.

[0074] Preferably, the protection device comprises a covering layer 14 which is laminated on the first 11 and second 12 layers in the connection areas 2 of said layers.

[0075] The covering layer 14 is preferably shaped (for example in an annular form) so as to follow the edges of the protection device. Figure 4A ).

[0076] Preferably, the covering layer 14 is made of a heat-sealable material, for example TPU or PVC.

[0077] Preferably, the covering layer 14 is connected to the edges of the second layer 12 before connecting the second layer 12 to the first layer 11. However, in other cases, when the first 11 and second 12 layers are already connected to each other, the covering layer can be applied on the first 11 and second 12 layers.

[0078] Figure 4A The solution proposed in the present description is particularly effective in ensuring an improved appearance of the covering device. In fact, the covering layer 14 guarantees that the connection areas 2 between the first 11 and second 12 layers have a smooth linear profile even when said layers have a non-negligible difference in thickness. The protection device 1 can be arranged on a garment 11 according to the direction indicated in Figure 4 . The first layer 11 is intended to face the user's body, while the second layer 12 is intended to face the outside. In other cases, the protection device 1 can be arranged on a garment 11 according to the opposite direction indicated in Figure 5 . According to this configuration, the second layer 12 is intended to face the user's body, while the first layer 11 is intended to face the outside.

[0079] The protection device 1 can be used for application to garments or garment parts having a very slight curvature. In this case, during use, the protection device will have a substantially flat or slightly curved configuration so as to follow the profile of the part of the user's body to be covered.

[0080] Figures 6-7An example is shown in which the protection device 1 is applied to a garment having a very pronounced curvature or having a tubular or semi-tubular structure. In this case, the protection device 1 can have a pronounced curved configuration. For example, the first layer 11 can be folded and connected to the edge 101A of the garment 100 to form said tubular or semi-tubular structure.

[0081] Figure 8 An implementation variant of the utility model is shown.

[0082] According to this implementation variant, the device 1 comprises a first layer 11, a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material and a second layer 12 arranged according to the configuration shown in Figure 4 .

[0083] However, the second layer 12 is connected to the first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material at one or more second connection areas 3.

[0084] This solution is particularly advantageous as it ensures an improved coupling between the parts of the protection device.

[0085] The connection between the second layer 12 and the structure 10 made of thermoplastic material can be obtained by known techniques, such as fusion, adhesion, heat sealing, etc. between the layers.

[0086] The connection between the second layer 12 and the structure 10 is preferably flat. However, it can also be obtained in a curved shape after preforming the protection device.

[0087] The protection device according to this implementation variant can be arranged on the garment 11 according to the orientation shown in Figure 8 , or arranged in the opposite direction according to the configuration shown in Figure 5 .

[0088] Figures 9-10 A further implementation variant of the utility model is shown.

[0089] According to the configuration shown in Figure 4 , the protection device 1 comprises a first layer 11, a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material and a second layer 12.

[0090] However, in this case, the second layer 12 comprises an opening 4. Thus, even when the first layer 11, the second layer 12 of the protection device are connected to each other, the structure 10 made of thermoplastic material is only partially covered by the second layer 12.

[0091] Preferably, the second layer 12 is connected to the first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material in one or more second connection areas 3 configured to form one or more edges of the opening 4.

[0092] Preferably, the connection between the second layer 12 and the structure 10 made of thermoplastic material is obtained by heat sealing. To this end, the second layer 12 can be made of thermoplastic material or be covered at the edges of the opening 4 by a heat-sealable material.

[0093] When produced according to this variant, the protection device is preferably arranged on the garment 11 according to the direction shown, with the second layer 12 facing the outside and the first layer 11 facing the user's body. In this way, the structure 10 made of thermoplastic material can advantageously be seen from the outside, thus imparting a special aesthetic appearance to the garment 100 to which the protection device is applied, and ensuring improved breathability ( Figure 10 Figure 9 ).

[0094] According to a further implementation variant of the utility model ( Figures 11-15 ), the protection device 1 comprises a second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material connected with one of the layers of the protection device.

[0095] In this case, the thermoplastic material can also consist of TPE, TPU, PVC, HDPE, LDPE or other suitable thermoplastic materials.

[0096] In principle, the structure 20 made of thermoplastic material can be obtained by depositing the thermoplastic material on the surface of the relevant support layer through any known type of industrial process, such as injection moulding, additive printing of 3D printing, adhesion, heat sealing, casting, etc.

[0097] Preferably, however, the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material is deposited on the relevant support layer through an injection moulding process.

[0098] The second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material can be elastically deformable preferably in one or more directions of deformation.

[0099] The second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material can have a continuous, reticular or discrete configuration. Preferably, however, it comprises a plurality of shaped elements made of thermoplastic material, independent of one another and arranged side by side according to the desired pattern, for example according to the solution described in patent application DE 102020120936 A1.

[0100] Preferably, the groups of elements made of thermoplastic material are connected to one another so as to facilitate the deformation of the structure 20 along the respective preferential lines of deformation.

[0101] Figure 11 A further implementation variant of the utility model is shown.

[0102] According to the configuration as shown in Figure 4 , or as necessary, according to Figure 8 and Figure 10 ​The protection device 1 comprises a first layer 11, a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material and a second layer 12.

[0103] In this case, however, the protection device comprises a second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material connected with the second layer 12 and arranged so as to at least partially cover the fourth surface 124 of the second layer.

[0104] The second layer 12 thus acts as a support layer for the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material.

[0105] The structures 10, 20 made of thermoplastic material are arranged in positions opposite to each other with respect to the second layer 12.

[0106] The protection device is preferably arranged on the garment 11 in the direction shown in Figure 11 , the second layer 12 facing the outside and the first layer 11 facing the user's body. In this way, the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material can be seen from the outside and can give the garment 100 to which the protection device is applied a special aesthetic appearance.

[0107] Figure 12 Further implementation variants of the utility model are shown.

[0108] According to the configuration as shown in Figure 4 , or, if necessary, according to the configuration as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 10 , the protection device 1 comprises a first layer 11, a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material and a second layer 12.

[0109] In this case, however, the protection device comprises a second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material connected with the second layer 12 and arranged so as to at least partially cover the third surface 123 of the second layer.

[0110] In this case, the second layer 12 also acts as a support layer for the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material.

[0111] The structures 10, 20 made of thermoplastic material are interposed between the first layer 11 and the second layer 12 and face each other.

[0112] The protection device 1 can be arranged on the garment 11 in the direction shown in Figure 12 , or, alternatively, it can be arranged in reverse, according to the configuration as shown in Figure 5 .

[0113] According to a further embodiment of the utility model Figures 13-15 , in addition to said second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material, the protection device 1 also comprises a third layer 13, which is preferably elastically deformable.

[0114] The third layer 13 can be used to cover the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material and / or to act as a support layer for the latter.

[0115] The third layer 13 can be an integral part of the garment 100 or be connected to the latter by known techniques, such as sewing, gluing, heat sealing, etc.

[0116] Preferably, the third layer 13 is made of elastically deformable material selected from the group consisting of: fabric, non-woven, polyurethane foam, thermoplastic material or combinations of these materials.

[0117] Preferably, the third layer 13 is arranged to be heat sealed with at least one other layer of the protective device. In this case, if necessary, it can be at least partially covered, for example at the edges of the protective device, by a heat-sealable material, for example TPU or PVC.

[0118] Preferably, the third layer 13 is connected at said connection area 2 with said first and second layers 11, 12 of the protective device.

[0119] Figure 13 A further embodiment variant of the utility model is illustrated.

[0120] According to Figure 4 the configuration illustrated, or if necessary, according to Figure 8 and Figure 10 the configuration, the protective device 1 comprises a first layer 11, a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material and a second layer 12.

[0121] However, in this case, the protective device 1 comprises a third layer 13 having a fifth surface 135 and a sixth surface 136 opposite the fifth surface 135.

[0122] The third layer 13 is arranged so that the fifth and sixth surfaces 135 face the first layer 11 in opposite directions with respect to the first layer 11, respectively.

[0123] The protective device comprises a second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material connected to the third layer 13 and arranged to at least partially cover the fifth surface 135 of the third layer.

[0124] Therefore, the third layer 13 acts as a support layer for the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material.

[0125] The structure 20 made of thermoplastic material is located between the first layer 11 and the third layer 13, while the structures 10, 20 made of thermoplastic material are in opposite positions with respect to the first layer 11.

[0126] The protective device 1 can be oriented according to Figure 13 the direction illustrated or with Figure 5The configuration shown, or in the inverted direction similar to the configuration shown, is arranged on the item of clothing 11.

[0127] Figure 14 A further implementation variant of the utility model is shown.

[0128] According to Figure 4 the configuration shown, or if necessary, according to Figure 8 and Figure 10 the configuration, the protection device 1 comprises a first layer 11, a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material and a second layer 12.

[0129] However, in this case, the protection device 1 comprises a third layer 13 having a fifth surface 135 and a sixth surface 136 opposite the fifth surface 135.

[0130] The third layer 13 is arranged so that the fifth and sixth surfaces 135 face the first layer 11, respectively, and face the first layer in opposite directions.

[0131] The protection device comprises a second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material connected to the first layer 11 and arranged to at least partially cover the second surface 112 of the first layer.

[0132] Therefore, in this case, the first layer 11 also acts as a support layer for the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material.

[0133] The structures 20 made of thermoplastic material are interposed between the first layer 11 and the third layer 13, while the structures 10, 20 made of thermoplastic material are in opposite positions with respect to the first layer 11.

[0134] According to this implementation variant, the third layer 13 can also be connected to the second structure 30 made of thermoplastic material at one or more respective connection areas.

[0135] The protection device 1 can be arranged on the item of clothing 11 in the direction shown or in the inverted direction similar to the configuration shown. Figure 14 Figure 5 The configuration shown, or in the inverted direction similar to the configuration shown, is arranged on the item of clothing 11.

[0136] Figure 15 A further implementation variant of the utility model is shown.

[0137] According to Figure 4 the configuration shown, or if necessary, according to Figure 8 and Figure 10 the configuration, the protection device 1 comprises a first layer 11, a first structure 10 made of thermoplastic material and a second layer 12.

[0138] However, in this case, the protection device 1 comprises a third layer 13 having a fifth surface 135 and a sixth surface 136 opposite the fifth surface 135. ​

[0139] The third layer 13 is arranged so that the fifth and sixth surfaces 135 face the first layer 11 in opposite directions, respectively, with respect to the first layer 11.

[0140] The protection device comprises a second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material connected to the third layer 13 and arranged to at least partially cover the sixth surface 136 of the third layer.

[0141] Therefore, the third layer 13 also acts as a support layer for the second structure 20 made of thermoplastic material.

[0142] The structures 10, 20 are in a position opposite to each other with respect to the first layer 11 and the third layer 13, respectively facing the respective surfaces 112, 135.

[0143] The protection device 1 can be arranged on the garment 11 in the direction shown or in an inverted direction similar to the configuration shown. Figure 15 Figure 5

[0144] According to the invention, the protection device has significant advantages with respect to the prior art.

[0145] The protection device comprises one or more structures 10, 20 made of thermoplastic material, which are elastically deformable both in a direction perpendicular to and in a direction parallel to the respective support layer.

[0146] Therefore, the structures 10, 20 made of thermoplastic material can provide an effective cushioning effect when the user's body is subjected to impacts.

[0147] At the same time, these structures cooperate with the other elastically deformable layers of the protection device, so that the entire multilayer structure can easily adapt to the shape of the body.

[0148] Therefore, the protection device ensures high performance in terms of protection against abrasion and impacts, and provides a high level of ergonomics and comfort for the user.

[0149] When the structures face the outside, the covering layer of the protection device ensures effective protection of the structures 10, 20 made of thermoplastic material against abrasion. Conversely, when the structures face the user's body, the covering layer ensures effective protection of the user's body against friction or contact allergies.

[0150] The protection device can be produced so as to be easily applicable to the garment without significantly complicating the manufacturing process of the latter.

[0151] For example, thanks to its elastically deformable structure, the covering device can be obtained by means of planar assembly techniques compatible with the techniques of garment manufacturing.

[0152] ​​The protection device can be easily produced at an industrial level, with significant advantages in terms of production time and cost.
