Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to knee protection technology, and more particularly to a rock climbing knee brace. Background Technology

[0002] In rock climbing, there is a technique called knee pad. Climbers can find a suitable foothold on the rock face, use their knee or the upper part of their thigh above the knee to brace against another foothold or shape, and "tuck" their lower leg between the two. The pressure generated by stepping down with their toes can make their legs bear a large part of their body weight, thus giving their hands a chance to rest and relieve stress, and even freeing their hands.

[0003] The climbing knee braces on the market use the following method: elastic fabric is closed at the back of the thigh with Velcro, and then two or three independent webbing straps are added around the leg (above the knee) with hooks and buckles for secondary tension and closure. Because of the small contact area of ​​the webbing straps with the thigh, prolonged use or excessive tightening can easily affect blood circulation in the thigh, causing severe thigh pain and cramps, seriously affecting continuous exercise. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to propose a climbing knee brace that solves the problems of thigh pain and cramps caused by using hook fasteners for secondary tension closure, which can result from prolonged binding or excessive tightening.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a climbing knee brace, comprising a wear-resistant rubber sheet, an elastic fabric molded from neoprene rubber, a first elastic band, and a second elastic band, wherein:

[0006] The wear-resistant rubber sheet is located on the elastic cloth and fixed in the middle area of ​​the elastic cloth;

[0007] The first elastic band and the second elastic band are located on the elastic fabric;

[0008] One end of the first elastic band is fixed to one side of the wear-resistant rubber sheet, and the other end of the first elastic band is fixed to one side of the elastic cloth.

[0009] One end of the second elastic band is fixed to the other side of the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet, and the other end of the second elastic band is fixed to the other side of the elastic cloth.

[0010] Furthermore, the front part of the elastic fabric has an S-shaped arc structure with a concave center and convex sides, and the rear part of the elastic fabric has a C-shaped arc structure with a higher center and higher sides.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet, the elastic fabric, and the first elastic band is fixed together by a stitch; and / or one end of the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet, the elastic fabric, and the second elastic band is fixed together by a stitch.

[0012] Furthermore, the other end of the elastic fabric and the first elastic band are fixed together by stitching or Velcro; and / or the other end of the elastic fabric and the second elastic band are fixed together by stitching or Velcro.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner surface of the elastic fabric has a honeycomb mesh silicone anti-slip print.

[0014] Furthermore, the first elastic band adopts a cross-compression design, and / or the second elastic band adopts a cross-compression design.

[0015] Furthermore, the climbing knee brace also includes a hook structure and a locking structure fixed to the wear-resistant rubber sheet. The hook structure is located on one side of the cushioning structure, and the locking structure is located on the other side of the cushioning structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the hook structure includes a hook body and a connecting strap, and the locking structure includes a mounting part and a hook, wherein: one side of the wear-resistant rubber sheet is connected to one side of the connecting strap, the other side of the connecting strap is connected to the hook body, the other side of the wear-resistant rubber sheet is provided with the mounting part, and the mounting part is connected to the hook.

[0017] Furthermore, the hook body is a 6-shaped metal structure, the bottom of the 6-shaped metal structure is a sun-shaped frame structure, the top of the 6-shaped metal structure is a C-shaped frame structure with a bend, the C-shaped frame structure is connected to the sun-shaped frame structure, and the sun-shaped frame structure and the C-shaped frame structure have a bending angle.

[0018] Furthermore, the bending angle between the sun-shaped frame structure and the C-shaped frame structure is between 170° and 174°.

[0019] The technical solution provided by this utility model can include the following beneficial effects: When worn by the user, the elastic fabric, the first elastic band, and the second elastic band in the inner layer sequentially conform to the thigh, forming a double elastic band pressure fixation and wrapping effect. This allows for free adjustment of tightness while also distributing localized pressure points on the thigh, resulting in even force distribution. The elastic fabric is made of neoprene rubber, which has a delicate, soft, and elastic feel, good heat insulation properties, and is wear-resistant and durable. The outer surface of the climbing knee brace has a wear-resistant rubber sheet, which reduces direct friction between the climbing point and the body, protecting the thigh and knee. During climbing, the wear-resistant rubber sheet, acting as a support point, increases friction between the leg and the climbing point, reducing pain and facilitating the use of the kneebar technique. Using the climbing knee brace makes climbing smoother and less strenuous. In addition to providing excellent protection for the thigh and knee, it solves the problem of thigh pain and cramps caused by the secondary tension closure of the knee brace through hooks and buckles. The structural design of this climbing knee brace promotes blood flow and improves athletic performance. Specifically, the even distribution of force across the knee brace creates pressure differences in the thigh muscles, which promotes blood flow back to the heart and also counteracts the effects of gravity on blood flow.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific implementation methods.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the climbing knee brace of this utility model includes an abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1, an elastic fabric 2 formed of neoprene rubber, a first elastic band 31, and a second elastic band 32, wherein: the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1 is located on the elastic fabric 2 and fixed in the middle area of ​​the elastic fabric 2; the first elastic band 31 and the second elastic band 32 are located on the elastic fabric 2; one end of the first elastic band 31 is fixed to one side of the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1, and the other end of the first elastic band 31 is fixed to one side of the elastic fabric 2; one end of the second elastic band 32 is fixed to the other side of the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1, and the other end of the second elastic band 32 is fixed to the other side of the elastic fabric 2.

[0032] Specifically, when wearing climbing knee braces, the user bends their knees at a 90-degree angle and places the knee brace on the thigh near the knee. Pull both ends of the elastic fabric 2 forward, forcefully pulling the wings outwards to cover the thigh, adjusting the tightness and securing it. Forcefully pull the first elastic band 31 and the second elastic band 32 to the leg position and secure them, ensuring they are neither too tight nor too loose. The middle area of ​​the elastic fabric 2 has a wear-resistant rubber sheet 1. This wear-resistant rubber sheet 1 is sturdy yet flexible, reducing direct friction between the climbing points and the body during climbing, protecting the thighs and knees. The elastic fabric 2, the first elastic band 31, and the second elastic band 32 form a double-layered secure wrapping effect, allowing for free adjustment of tightness while also distributing the force evenly across the thigh. The outer surface of the climbing knee brace has the wear-resistant rubber sheet 1, which reduces direct friction between the climbing points and the body, protecting the thighs and knees. During climbing, the wear-resistant rubber sheet 1, used as a support point, increases friction between the legs and the rock face, reducing pain and facilitating the use of the knee bar technique. Using climbing knee braces allows for smoother, more energy-efficient climbing, providing excellent protection for the thighs and knees. It also solves the problem of thigh pain and cramps caused by the secondary tension closure of the knee brace via hooks and buckles. The structural layout of this climbing knee brace promotes blood flow and improves athletic performance; specifically, the even distribution of pressure across the knee brace on the thigh muscles promotes blood flow back to the heart and counteracts the effects of gravity on blood flow.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the front part of the elastic fabric 2 is an S-shaped arc structure 21 with a concave center and convex sides, and the rear part of the elastic fabric 2 is a C-shaped arc structure 22 with a center higher than the sides.

[0034] Specifically, the concave design of the S-shaped arc structure 21 conforms well to the shape of the patella, providing stable support and preventing displacement or excessive pressure during exercise. The C-shaped arc structure 22, with its higher center and wider sides, adapts well to the curve of the groin, ensuring a snug fit and preventing slippage. This design not only improves the stability of the knee brace but also provides support to the groin, reducing fatigue during exercise.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, one end of the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1, the elastic fabric 2, and the first elastic band 31 can be fixed together by stitching; one end of the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1, the elastic fabric 2, and the second elastic band 32 can also be fixed together by stitching. That is, the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1, one end of the second elastic band 32, and one end of the first elastic band 31 are fixed to the middle area of ​​the elastic fabric 2. By fixing the abrasion-resistant rubber sheet 1, the elastic fabric 2, the first elastic band 31, and the second elastic band 32 together by stitching, a stable structure can be formed on the climbing knee brace, preventing loosening or detachment during use.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the other ends of the elastic fabric 2 and the first elastic band 31 can be fixed together by sewing or by Velcro 5; the other ends of the elastic fabric 2 and the second elastic band 32 can be fixed together by sewing or by Velcro 5.

[0037] Specifically, the stitching or Velcro 5 can provide a reliable fixing effect for the other end of the first elastic band 31 and the other end of the second elastic band 32, ensuring a tight connection between the elastic fabric 2 and the first elastic band 31 and the second elastic band 32. Furthermore, the stitching or Velcro 5 is an easy-to-operate connection method, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the inner surface of the elastic fabric 2 has a honeycomb mesh silicone anti-slip print 23.

[0039] Specifically, the anti-slip print 23 with a honeycomb mesh structure can enhance friction. The honeycomb mesh structure has good breathability, which can promote air circulation and reduce sweat accumulation. In addition, the silicone material is soft and elastic, which reduces the pressure of the knee brace on the skin and improves the comfort of wearing it.

[0040] In an alternative embodiment, the first elastic band 31 can be designed with a cross-pressure pattern, and the second elastic band 32 can be designed with a cross-pressure pattern.

[0041] Specifically, the cross-pressure design allows the first elastic band 31 and the second elastic band 32 to provide support in multiple directions, thereby enhancing overall stability and support. It also allows for more even pressure distribution, reducing excessive localized pressure. This helps reduce user discomfort and improves product comfort.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the climbing knee brace further includes a hook structure 41 and a locking structure 42 fixed to the wear-resistant rubber sheet 1, wherein the hook structure 41 is disposed on one side of the wear-resistant rubber sheet 1 and the locking structure 42 is disposed on the other side of the wear-resistant rubber sheet 1.

The installation part 421 is further provided with locking body 421. The knee pad is tightened by the connecting strap 412 with hook body 411. The installation part 422 can reduce stress concentration of the wear-resistant rubber sheet 1 and improve service life.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the hook 411 is a 6-shaped metal structure, the bottom of the 6-shaped metal structure is a sun-shaped frame structure, the top of the 6-shaped metal structure is a C-shaped frame structure with a bend, the C-shaped frame structure is connected to the sun-shaped frame structure, and the sun-shaped frame structure and the C-shaped frame structure have a bending angle.

[0048] Specifically, the hook body 411 as a whole presents a figure-six shape. The bottom of the hook body 411 is a figure-eight shape with two through holes in the middle. The connecting band 44 can adjust the tightness through the two through holes. The top of the hook body 411 is a C shape with an elbow. The elbow structure can prevent the hook body 411 from slipping off the lock body 41. There is a bending angle between the figure-eight-shaped frame structure and the C-shaped frame structure with an elbow, which can make the hook body 411 fit the human body and improve the comfort of the user.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, there is a bending angle between the figure-eight-shaped frame structure and the C-shaped frame structure. The bending angle ranges from 170° to 174°, that is, 170°, 171°, 172°, 173°, 174°, etc.

[0050] Specifically, the figure-eight-shaped frame and the C-shaped frame are connected by a specific bending angle (170° to 174°), which can form a stable and arc-shaped overall structure, thus improving the stability of the hook body 411.
