Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knee brace technology, specifically a seamless cross-shaped knee brace. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional knee braces often suffer from poor fit when worn. Many knee braces use a simple slip-on or strap design, which cannot adapt well to different leg shapes and knee shapes. For example, for people with thinner or thicker legs, slip-on knee braces may be too loose or too tight, affecting wearing comfort and the protective effect of the knee brace. Moreover, traditional knee braces are prone to wrinkling or shifting when the knee is bent, which can restrict knee movement.

[0003] Some traditional knee braces have poorly designed support structures that fail to provide adequate support based on the physiological structure of the knee. For example, during prolonged standing or walking, the knee requires continuous support to reduce pressure, and traditional knee braces may not provide sufficient elastic support, leading to an increased risk of knee fatigue and injury.

[0004] Traditional knee braces lack specific protective designs. Many knee braces do not have dedicated protective structures for the patella, a crucial part of the knee. During certain sports (such as jumping and sudden stops), the patella is susceptible to significant impact forces, and traditional knee braces struggle to provide effective cushioning and protection, increasing the risk of patellar injury. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of the aforementioned problems with traditional knee braces and the demands of modern sports and lifestyles for knee support, this invention aims to provide a seamless, cross-structure knee brace. This knee brace, through its unique structural design, such as the semi-circular funnel-shaped connecting wings, the combination of brushed fabric and curved elastic support strips, the placement of upper and lower protective pads, and various perforated structures, addresses the shortcomings of traditional knee braces in terms of wearing comfort, protective performance, and breathability, while also meeting modern consumers' demands for personalized and aesthetically pleasing knee braces.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a seamless cross-structure knee brace, comprising a knee brace body, with connecting wings symmetrically arranged at both ends of the knee brace body. The connecting wings are semi-circular funnel-shaped and can be interlocked and connected. A napped fabric is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the middle part of the knee brace body. Arc-shaped elastic support strips are fixedly installed on both sides of the napped fabric. A connecting wing is fixedly connected to the side of the arc-shaped elastic support strip away from the napped fabric. A hollow hole is opened in the middle of the connecting wing.

[0009] Optionally, the napped fabric has a hollowed-out area in the middle, and a three-dimensional cut seam is provided at the center line of the knee pad body and the napped fabric.

[0010] Optionally, the end of the connecting wing furthest from the arc-shaped elastic support strip is fixedly connected with a Velcro strap.

[0011] Optionally, an upper protective pad and a lower protective pad are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the connecting wing, respectively.

[0012] Optionally, the number of hollowed-out areas is three, and the three-dimensional cutting seam line passes through the center line of the three hollowed-out areas in sequence.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] This utility model provides a seamless cross-structure knee brace with the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This seamless, cross-structure knee brace features intersecting connecting wings that create a hollowed-out area. This reduces the contact area between the brace and the top of the knee during exercise, minimizing the impact on the knee joint while ensuring a secure fit around the top of the knee. Protective pads are located above and below the connecting wings, providing cushioning and protection for the patella. An elastic support strip, curved in shape, connects the connecting wings to the main body, effectively preventing the brace from slipping down without affecting the increased pressure on the muscles during knee flexion, making it highly practical.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a seamless cross-structure knee brace, including a knee brace body 1, with connecting wings 4 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the knee brace body 1. The connecting wings 4 are semi-circular funnel-shaped and can be interlocked and connected. A napped fabric 2 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the middle part of the knee brace body 1. Arc-shaped elastic support strips 3 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the napped fabric 2. The connecting wings 4 are fixedly connected to the side of the arc-shaped elastic support strips 3 away from the napped fabric 2. A hollow hole 10 is opened in the middle of the connecting wings 4.

[0024] The brushed fabric 2 has a hollowed-out area 7 in the middle, and a three-dimensional cutting seam line 8 is provided at the center line of the knee pad body 1 and the brushed fabric 2. This setting allows the knee pad to be folded along the three-dimensional cutting seam line 8.

[0025] The end of the connecting wing 4 away from the curved elastic support strip 3 is fixedly connected with Velcro 9.

[0026] Upper protective pad 5 and lower protective pad 6 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the connecting wing 4, respectively.

[0027] There are three hollowed-out areas 7, and the three-dimensional cutting seam line 8 passes through the center line of the three hollowed-out areas 7 in sequence.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this seamless cross-structure knee brace:

[0029] I. Structure and Wearability

[0030] 1. Stable and seamless wearing effect

[0031] The connecting wings are semi-circular funnel-shaped and can be interlocked and overlapped to form a hollow area, which can reduce the contact area between the knee brace and the top of the knee during exercise, reduce the impact of the knee brace on the knee joint during exercise, and can be fixed around the top of the knee.

[0032] The Velcro straps connecting one end of the wing allow the wearer to adjust the fit according to the thickness of their legs, ensuring comfort and a good fit for the knee brace. The Velcro straps are also simple, convenient, and easy to use.

[0033] 2. Ergonomic design

[0034] The knee brace features a three-dimensional cut seam along the center line of the main body and the brushed fabric, and also includes a perforated area in the center of the brushed fabric. This design conforms to the physiological curve of the human knee. The three-dimensional cut better adapts to the shape changes of the knee when bending and straightening, reducing the restriction on knee movement and improving wearing comfort.

[0035] The presence of openwork areas also helps reduce the overall weight of the knee brace, avoiding excessive strain on the knees.

[0036] II. Protective performance

[0037] 1. Effective protection for both sides of the knees

[0038] The curved elastic support strips fixed to both sides of the brushed fabric provide additional support to the sides of the knee. During exercise or daily activities, when the knee is subjected to lateral pressure or torsional forces, these elastic support strips can effectively distribute the pressure and reduce the risk of knee injury.

[0039] The upper and lower protective pads, fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the connecting wing, further enhance the knee brace's protection of the area above and below the knee. The upper protective pad protects the muscles and joints above the knee when the knee is bent, while the lower protective pad cushions and protects the knee when it is straightened or subjected to downward pressure.

[0040] 2. Overall stability protection

[0041] The fleece fabric on the outer side of the knee brace's main body, along with its connected components (such as the curved elastic support strip and connecting wings), works together to form a stable, integrated structure. This structure limits excessive knee movement in all directions, preventing excessive bending, straightening, or twisting, thus providing comprehensive knee protection.

[0042] III. Breathability and Comfort

[0043] 1. Improved breathability

[0044] The connecting wing has perforations in the middle, which helps increase the breathability of the knee brace. When wearing the knee brace for a long time, good breathability allows the skin to breathe, reduces the accumulation of sweat, and avoids skin discomfort such as itching and rashes caused by heat and moisture.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
