Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7A protective sleeve for preventing foot and ankle injuries includes a protective elastic band 1, a first Velcro group 2, a second Velcro group 3, a pressure band 4, a third Velcro group 5, a supporting protective hard membrane 10, and a supporting protective soft membrane 11. The protective elastic band 1 is made of breathable, quick-drying, and elastic fabric in a one-piece design. One end of the protective elastic band 1 has a straight fixing part with the first Velcro group 2 on its outer surface, and the other end has a U-shaped fixing part with the second Velcro group 3 on its outer surface. The side of the protective elastic band 1 that contacts the foot and ankle has a supporting protective hard membrane 10, which provides necessary structural support to the foot and ankle area and prevents excessive twisting. The protective sleeve can be bent to enhance its overall stability. The surface of the supporting protective hard membrane 10 is covered with a supporting protective soft membrane 11. The supporting protective soft membrane 11 is made of soft material, which can effectively cushion the hardness of the hard membrane and improve wearing comfort. The surface of the supporting protective soft membrane 11 is provided with an anti-slip part 12, which is composed of several silicone bumps. The silicone bumps can increase the friction between the protective sleeve and the skin of the foot and prevent the protective sleeve from shifting during use. The outer surface of the protective elastic band 1 is provided with a pressure band 4, and the inner surface of the pressure band 4 is provided with a third Velcro group 5. Each Velcro group includes a rough side and a hook side for mutual adhesion.

[0025] When wearing the protective sleeve, place the protective elastic band 1 in the center of the sole of the foot, ensuring that the straight fixing part is on the outer ankle side and the U-shaped fixing part is on the inner ankle side. First, use the straight fixing part to wrap around the outer and inner ankle parts and secure it by self-adhesion using the first Velcro group 2. Next, use the U-shaped fixing part to wrap around the inner ankle side again and secure it by self-adhesion using the second Velcro group 3. The tightness of each fixing point can be adjusted by the elasticity of the protective elastic band 1 and the Velcro group to adapt to individual foot shape and comfort needs, thereby providing effective pressure and support for the foot and ankle, ensuring appropriate tightness and stability, effectively improving ankle joint stability and preventing injury. After completing the wearing, the heel part remains open to reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon. Finally, use the pressure band 4 to form an appropriate wrapping pattern on the instep and secure its two ends in the appropriate position using the third Velcro group 5 to further ensure that the protective elastic band 1 under the foot fits tightly to the concave area of ​​the sole, avoiding loosening or ill-fitting phenomena during use.

[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8It also includes two protective plates 6, a limiting strap 7, an anti-slip strap 8, and a fourth Velcro group 9. The two protective plates 6 act on the inner and outer ankles respectively, providing additional reinforcement support for the inner and outer sides of the ankle. In addition, the protective plates 6 are evenly provided with several ventilation holes 14, which helps to increase air circulation, reduce heat accumulation, and keep the ankle area dry. The inner surface of the protective plates 6 is provided with a protective layer 13, which is made of sponge material, designed to improve the comfort of wearing and reduce discomfort or injury that may be caused by the protective plates 6 directly contacting the skin. The protective plates 6 are provided with a limiting strap 7 symmetrically distributed front and back. The protective plates 6 are connected to the surface of the protective plates 6, and the outer surface of the anti-slip strap 8 is provided with a fourth Velcro group 9.

[0027] After the protective elastic band 1 and the pressure band 4 are put on, first place the two protective plates 6 on the lateral and medial ankles respectively. Then, pick up the anti-slip strap 8 on either protective plate 6, first thread it through one of the limiting straps 7 on your own, and then thread it out through one of the limiting straps 7 on the other protective plate 6. Repeat this process to ensure that the other protective plate 6 is also properly fixed. The two protective plates 6 are initially connected. Finally, stick the fourth Velcro group 9 on the outer surface of each of the two anti-slip straps 8 together to achieve a stable connection between the two protective plates 6, thereby providing additional reinforcement support for the lateral and medial ankles and further improving the stability effect of the protective elastic band 1.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
