Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment technology, and in particular to a patellar compression band. Background Technology

[0002] A patellar strap is a medical assistive device used to stabilize the patellar tendon and protect the knee joint. It is widely used in sports medicine, rehabilitation therapy, and daily life. Its main functions include reducing patellar pain, preventing excessive patellar movement, and reducing repetitive bouncing of the patellar tendon during exercise, thereby improving knee joint stability and athletic performance.

[0003] Referring to patent number CN116420949A, a novel patellar compression band is disclosed. This patent improves to some extent the problem that traditional compression pads are mostly single long strips and their shape does not conform to the natural curve of the patella.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned patent has the following shortcomings in actual use: during intense exercise, the flexible pad has insufficient cushioning capacity for the pressure pad, resulting in excessive vertical pressure on the user's knee joint, which can easily cause discomfort to the user; in addition, the components with steering holes at both ends of the rear stabilizing strap are usually metal parts, and the above-mentioned patent directly sets them on both ends. When the main component of the bandage is fixed, the metal parts will directly squeeze the user's skin, which can cause discomfort to the user. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a patellar compression strap that reduces the local high pressure area applied to the patella by setting a buffer layer, thereby improving the user's wearing comfort.

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a patellar compression band, comprising:

[0007] Pad;

[0008] Inner and outer gaskets are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the pressure pad;

[0009] A first buffer layer is disposed between the inner pad and the pressure pad, and the first buffer layer is used to buffer the pressure applied by the pressure pad toward the inner pad;

[0010] The strap assembly includes a first fixing part, a second fixing part, and a strap. The first fixing part and the second fixing part are both located on the side of the outer pad away from the inner pad, and the first fixing part and the second fixing part are respectively located on opposite sides of the pressure pad. The strap can be fixed to the outer pad by the first fixing part and the second fixing part.

[0011] The patellar compression strap provided by this utility model effectively buffers the pressure applied by the pressure pad towards the inner pad by setting a first buffer layer between the inner pad and the pressure pad, making the pressure distribution more uniform and avoiding the problem of pressure concentration at a few points in traditional designs. This reduces local high-pressure areas and decreases discomfort to the user's skin. In addition, the fixing part is located on the side of the outer pad away from the inner pad. When the strap is fixed, the fixing part will not directly contact the user's skin, avoiding the problem of the fixing part directly squeezing the user's skin in traditional designs, reducing pressure buildup and discomfort.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a second buffer layer, which is disposed between the outer pad and the pressure pad.

[0013] By employing the above technical solution, the addition of the second buffer layer not only enhances the cushioning capacity but also improves the overall stability of the patellar strap. By providing additional support between the pressure pad and the outer gasket, the patellar strap is ensured to better conform to the knee joint during wear, providing a stable support effect.

[0014] Furthermore, both the first buffer layer and the second buffer layer are sponge layers.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, the sponge material possesses excellent elasticity and cushioning properties, effectively absorbing and dispersing pressure, reducing direct pressure on the user's skin. By using sponge layers for both the first and second cushioning layers, the cushioning effect is further optimized, significantly improving wearing comfort.

[0016] Furthermore, the first fixing part includes a first fixing ring, and the second fixing part includes a second fixing ring. Both the first fixing ring and the second fixing ring are fixedly disposed on the outer pad, and the opposite ends of the strap can be respectively inserted and fixed inside the first fixing ring and the second fixing ring.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, through the combination of fixing ring and strap, users can flexibly adjust the tightness of the strap according to their knee joint shape and exercise needs, ensuring comfort and stability when wearing it.

[0018] Furthermore, the first fixing part further includes a first connecting fabric body, which passes through the first fixing ring, and both ends of the first connecting fabric body are sewn onto the outer gasket; the second fixing part further includes a second connecting fabric body, which passes through the second fixing ring, and both ends of the second connecting fabric body are sewn onto the outer gasket.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by adding a first connecting fabric body and a second connecting fabric body to the first and second fixing rings respectively, and sewing the two ends of these connecting fabric bodies to the outer gasket, the stability of the fixing part is significantly enhanced. This design makes the connection between the fixing ring and the outer gasket more secure, reducing the possibility of loosening or displacement during use.

[0020] Furthermore, the first fixing part further includes a first shielding cloth, which is disposed on the outer pad and can cover and shield the seam between the first connecting fabric and the outer pad; the second fixing part further includes a second shielding cloth, which is disposed on the outer pad and can cover and shield the seam between the second connecting fabric and the outer pad.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second shielding fabrics can cover and shield the seams between the first and second connecting fabrics and the outer gasket, making the product appearance neater and more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the shielding fabrics can protect the seams of the connecting fabrics, reducing seam loosening caused by friction and wear, and extending the service life of the connecting fabrics.

[0022] Furthermore, the opposite ends of the strap are respectively a seamless fabric surface and a hook and loop fastener surface. The seamless fabric surface is used to fit against the user's skin. The opposite ends of the hook and loop fastener are provided with hook and loop hook surfaces, and the remaining parts of the hook and loop fastener are provided with hook and loop loop surfaces. The opposite ends of the strap can be folded after passing through the first fixing ring and the second fixing ring respectively, so that the hook and loop hook surfaces and hook and loop loop surfaces of the hook and loop fastener fit together.

[0023] Using the above technical solution, one end of the strap is made of a seamless fabric surface, which directly contacts the user's skin, reducing friction and irritation and improving wearing comfort. The other end of the strap is made of hook and loop fastener fabric, with hook and loop fastener surfaces at opposite ends, enabling quick and secure fastening.

[0024] Furthermore, the first fixing ring is provided with a first friction rack, which is used to abut against one end of the strap; the second fixing ring is provided with a second friction rack, which is used to abut against the other end of the strap.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the first friction rack and the second friction rack can effectively prevent the strap from sliding in the fixing ring, ensuring that the strap remains in a fixed position during use, thus improving the stability and reliability of wearing.

[0026] As can be seen from the above, the patellar compression strap provided by this utility model effectively buffers the pressure applied by the pressure pad towards the inner pad by setting a first buffer layer between the inner pad and the pressure pad, making the pressure distribution more uniform and avoiding the problem of pressure concentration at a few points in traditional designs. This reduces local high-pressure areas and lowers discomfort to the user's skin. In addition, by placing the fixing part on the side of the outer pad away from the inner pad, the fixing part will not directly adhere to the user's skin after the strap is fixed, avoiding the problem of the fixing part directly squeezing the user's skin in traditional designs, and reducing pressure buildup and discomfort.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0034] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0035] The patellar compression strap disclosed in this utility model is mainly used to stabilize the patellar tendon and protect the knee joint. By setting a buffer layer, it reduces the local high pressure area applied to the patella and improves the user's wearing comfort.

[0036] Reference Appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 In one embodiment, the patellar compression band includes a pressure pad 100, an inner pad 200, an outer pad 300, a first buffer layer 400, and a bandage assembly 500. The inner pad 200 and the outer pad 300 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the pressure pad 100; the first buffer layer 400 is disposed between the inner pad 200 and the pressure pad 100, and the first buffer layer 400 is used to buffer the pressure applied by the pressure pad 100 toward the inner pad 200; the bandage assembly 500 includes a first fixing part 510, a second fixing part 520, and a bandage 530. The first fixing part 510 and the second fixing part 520 are both disposed on the side of the outer pad 300 away from the inner pad 200, and the first fixing part 510 and the second fixing part 520 are respectively located on opposite sides of the pressure pad 100. The bandage 530 can be fixed to the outer pad 300 through the first fixing part 510 and the second fixing part 520.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the patellar compression strap provided by this utility model effectively buffers the pressure applied by the pressure pad 100 towards the inner pad 200 by setting a first buffer layer 400 between the inner pad 200 and the pressure pad 100, making the pressure distribution more uniform and avoiding the problem of pressure concentration at a few points in traditional designs. This reduces local high-pressure areas and lowers discomfort to the user's skin. In addition, by placing the fixing part on the side of the outer pad 300 away from the inner pad 200, the fixing part will not directly adhere to the user's skin after the strap 530 is fixed, avoiding the problem of the fixing part directly squeezing the user's skin in traditional designs, and reducing pressure buildup and discomfort.

[0038] In one embodiment, a second buffer layer 600 is also included, which is disposed between the outer gasket 300 and the pressure pad 100.

[0039] Specifically, in the actual manufacturing process, the first buffer layer 400 and the inner gasket 200 are first bonded together with dotted adhesive, and the second buffer layer 600 and the outer gasket 300 are bonded together with dotted adhesive; then the pressure pad 100 is placed between the first buffer layer 400 and the second buffer layer 200; finally, the assembled multi-layer structure is placed in a high-temperature pressing device, and through the combined action of high temperature and pressure, the materials of each layer are firmly bonded together.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, the addition of the second buffer layer 600 not only enhances the cushioning capacity but also improves the overall stability of the patellar strap. By providing additional support between the pressure pad 100 and the outer pad 300, it is ensured that the patellar strap can better conform to the knee joint during wear, providing a stable support effect.

[0041] In one embodiment, both the first buffer layer 400 and the second buffer layer 600 are sponge layers.

[0042] Using the above technical solution, the sponge material has good elasticity and cushioning properties, effectively absorbing and dispersing pressure, reducing direct pressure on the user's skin. By making both the first cushioning layer 400 and the second cushioning layer 600 sponge layers, the cushioning effect is further optimized, significantly improving wearing comfort.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first fixing part 510 includes a first fixing ring 511, and the second fixing part 520 includes a second fixing ring 521. The first fixing ring 511 and the second fixing ring 521 are both fixed on the outer gasket 300, and the opposite ends of the strap 530 can be respectively inserted and fixed in the first fixing ring 511 and the second fixing ring 521.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, through the combination of the fixing ring and the strap 530, users can flexibly adjust the tightness of the strap 530 according to their own knee joint shape and exercise needs, so as to ensure the comfort and stability of wearing.

[0045] Reference Appendix Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first fixing part 510 further includes a first connecting fabric 512, which passes through the first fixing ring 511, and both ends of the first connecting fabric 512 are sewn onto the outer gasket 300; the second fixing part 520 further includes a second connecting fabric 522, which passes through the second fixing ring 521, and both ends of the second connecting fabric 522 are sewn onto the outer gasket 300.

[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, and by adding a first connecting fabric body 512 and a second connecting fabric body 522 to the first fixing ring 511 and the second fixing ring 521 respectively, and sewing the two ends of these connecting fabric bodies to the outer gasket 300, the stability of the fixing part is significantly enhanced. This design makes the connection between the fixing ring and the outer gasket 300 more secure, reducing the possibility of loosening or displacement during use.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first fixing part 510 further includes a first shielding cloth 513, which is disposed on the outer pad 300 and can cover and shield the seam between the first connecting fabric 512 and the outer pad 300; the second fixing part 520 further includes a second shielding cloth 523, which is disposed on the outer pad 300 and can cover and shield the seam between the second connecting fabric 522 and the outer pad 300.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the first shielding cloth 513 and the second shielding cloth 523 can cover and shield the seams between the first connecting cloth body 512, the second connecting cloth body 522 and the outer gasket 300, making the product appearance cleaner and more beautiful. In addition, the shielding cloth can also protect the seams of the connecting cloth body, reduce the loosening of the seams due to friction and wear, and extend the service life of the connecting cloth body.
