Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports protective equipment, and more specifically, to an elbow brace for basketball. Background Technology
[0002] Basketball, as a sport that combines competitiveness and entertainment, boasts a huge audience. During games, players frequently perform high-intensity movements such as sudden stops, changes of direction, jumps, and physical contact. These explosive physical activities not only test the athletes' physical fitness and skills but also constantly expose their bodies to the risk of injury. The elbow, in particular, is highly susceptible to impact and sprains during rebounding collisions, landings after falls, and the force of a shot. Severe injuries can even lead to irreversible damage such as ligament tears and fractures, ultimately impacting an athlete's career.
[0003] To effectively reduce the risk of injury to athletes during competitions, especially elbow injuries, designing a professional and practical basketball elbow brace is urgently needed. However, while common traditional elbow braces on the market offer some protection, they have many drawbacks. In terms of wearing, their complex strap design makes the process time-consuming and laborious, and it's difficult to precisely adjust the tightness. Too loose, and the protective effect is greatly reduced; too tight, and it hinders blood circulation and increases the burden on the limbs. Regarding breathability, traditional elbow braces often use thick materials, leading to excessive sweating during exercise that cannot be effectively wicked away. This hot and humid environment not only causes discomfort for athletes but also easily breeds bacteria, causing skin problems. Therefore, we propose a basketball elbow brace. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Example:
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 An elbow brace for basketball, comprising an elbow brace body 3, characterized in that: the elbow brace body 3 is composed of a skin-friendly layer 303, a functional layer 302 and a wear-resistant layer 301, the functional layer 302 being woven from warp and weft threads; the two ends of the skin-friendly layer 303, the functional layer 302 and the wear-resistant layer 301 are sewn together and fixed.
[0024] The warp threads are grouped into sets of six, consisting of polyester a, polyester a, bamboo fiber b, bamboo fiber b, polyester a, and polyester a. Polyester a has high strength and good elastic recovery, which can effectively support the elbow, maintain the shape of the elbow brace, and reduce the displacement of the elbow brace during exercise. Bamboo fiber b, with its natural antibacterial properties, inhibits bacterial growth, while its good moisture absorption and breathability further enhance the wearing comfort, keeping the elbow cool and dry during exercise.
[0025] Each pair of weft threads is a group of two, consisting of basalt fiber c and silver fiber d. Basalt fiber c has high strength and high modulus, which can effectively disperse external forces and provide stable support and protection for the elbow. Silver fiber d has excellent antibacterial, deodorizing and antistatic properties, which can prevent odor generation and reduce static interference during sports friction, thus enhancing sports safety.
[0026] In this application, an upper arm elastic fastening ring 2 is provided at one end of the elbow pad body 3, and a fastening Velcro 5 is provided at the other end of the elbow pad body 3. An elbow anti-collision block 4 is provided in the middle of the elbow pad body 3. The upper arm elastic fastening ring 2, the elbow anti-collision block 4, and the fastening Velcro 5 are sewn onto the elbow pad body 3. Figure 1 As shown, the elbow pad body 3 is designed with an arc-shaped bending structure to fit the arm, and the elbow anti-collision block 4 is located on the outer surface of the bending structure to protect the elbow.
[0027] In this application, the upper arm elastic fastening ring 2 is made of TPU material. TPU material has high elasticity and good wear resistance, which can fit tightly to the upper arm, provide moderate pressure, ensure that the elbow brace is stable and does not slip during exercise, and will not affect blood circulation due to excessive tightness. The fastening Velcro 5 at the other end allows the wearer to adjust the tightness of the elbow brace according to their own needs, further enhancing the fixation effect and adapting to the arm size of different athletes.
[0028] In this application, the elbow bumper 4 is made of PU foam material. PU foam material is lightweight and has good cushioning performance. When an athlete falls or is hit, it can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, reduce the risk of elbow injury, and provide a solid protective barrier for the fragile elbow joint.
[0029] In this application, the skin-friendly layer 303 is made of a blend of cotton and polyester. The cotton fibers are soft and skin-friendly, and do not cause irritation when in contact with the skin. The polyester enhances the strength and durability of the fabric. The combination of the two ensures the comfort of wearing the garment and can quickly absorb and dissipate sweat generated at the elbows, keeping the skin dry and avoiding discomfort and bacterial growth caused by dampness.
[0030] The wear-resistant layer 301 is made of nylon material. Nylon has excellent wear resistance and can effectively resist friction and wear when it comes into frequent contact with the ground and opponents in basketball, thus extending the service life of the elbow pad 1. At the same time, it protects the internal functional layer 302 and the skin-friendly layer 303 from damage.
