Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ankle support technology, and more specifically, to ankle support. Background Technology

[0002] Ankle braces are devices used to protect the ankle and foot, designed to provide support, stability and prevent injury, help stabilize the ankle joint, reduce abnormal movement, prevent sprains, absorb impact, and reduce pressure on the ankle, especially during exercise;

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN215381618U discloses an ankle brace, the key technical features of which are: a mesh layer is provided on the top surface of the brace body, and a protective layer is provided on the bottom of the brace body. The protective layer includes a contact layer, a sweat-absorbing layer, an anti-slip layer, and ventilation holes. The contact layer is located on the inner side of the protective layer, and a sweat-absorbing layer is attached to the bottom surface of the contact layer. An anti-slip layer is attached to the bottom surface of the sweat-absorbing layer. The ventilation holes penetrate the contact layer and extend to the outer surface of the anti-slip layer. By providing a mesh layer, multiple openings, and ventilation holes on the upper part of the brace body, not only is the contact area between the brace body and the foot reduced, but it also has good breathability, thereby improving the breathability of the ankle brace. In addition, a sweat-absorbing layer is provided at the bottom of the contact layer to absorb sweat, and an anti-slip layer is provided at the bottom of the sweat-absorbing layer to prevent the sole of the foot from slipping on the sole of the shoe due to sweating, thereby avoiding falls and sprains.

[0004] The above solutions address the issues of breathability and slip resistance in ankle braces. However, when exercising while wearing ankle braces, the open ankle openings in these solutions can easily cause friction between the wearer's outer and inner ankles and the shoes or ankle braces, ultimately leading to ankle injuries or abrasions. Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, elastic bands are provided at the leg opening, foot opening, and heel opening to automatically adapt the foot opening, heel opening, and elastic bands on the protective gear body to fit the wearer's foot, leg, and heel skin respectively, thereby improving the fixation of the protective gear body to the wearer's skin.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the protective gear body is provided with warp yarns and weft yarns, and the protective gear body is woven by the warp yarns and weft yarns.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of warp and weft yarns is to ensure that the protective gear body fits the wearer's skin closely, is flexible and adaptable, durable and breathable.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: the ankle pad and the cushioning spring in the ankle pad can protect the wearer's outer and inner ankles, reduce collisions with the outside and improve the wearer's safety. The mesh printed layer on the back of the protective gear can improve breathability and increase friction between the protective gear and the shoe, thereby making the protective gear more securely fixed to the wearer's foot and preventing the protective gear from slipping on the wearer's foot during exercise.

[0019] Please refer to the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1 to 5 Ankle brace, comprising a brace body 1, with two sets of ankle pads 6 sewn together inside the brace body 1. The two sets of ankle pads 6 are respectively placed on the wearer's lateral and medial ankles. A cushioning spring 7 is fixedly connected to the ankle pad 6. A mesh printed layer 8 is provided on the back of the brace body 1. The two sets of ankle pads 6 are set at different heights. Multiple sets of cushioning springs 7 are fixedly connected to the ankle pads 6. The bottom of the lateral ankle pad 6 is 1 cm lower than the bottom of the medial ankle pad 6. The side of the two sets of ankle pads 6 closest to the skin is smooth. The mesh printed layer 8 is located adjacent to the heel opening 4 of the brace body 1. The mesh printed layer 8 is made of rubber. In this embodiment, the two sets of ankle pads 6 are set at different heights with a height difference of 1cm. This is to better fit the wearer's lateral and medial ankles, making it easier for the ankle pads 6 to protect the wearer's lateral and medial ankles. The cushioning spring 7 in the ankle pad 6 is set to reduce the impact force when the wearer accidentally bumps into something, and to restore the deformed ankle pad 6 to its initial state after a collision.
