Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a hip joint protection pant. Background Technology
[0002] Hip fractures are increasingly becoming a significant health concern among the elderly, especially those with osteoporosis. Over 90% of hip fractures are caused by the impact of falls. To reduce impact and provide cushioning protection during falls, current technology typically embeds wearable pads or shields into pants at the hip area, absorbing or dispersing the energy of the impact force during a fall to prevent hip fractures. However, the pads in existing hip protection pants do not perfectly conform to the structure of the hip. During walking, the pads tend to shift, failing to accurately cover the hip area and thus reducing protection. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a hip joint protection pant that can solve the problem that the protective pad of the existing hip joint protection pant is prone to displacement.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a hip joint protection pant is provided, including a pant body and two energy-absorbing pads. Pockets are provided on both sides of the pant body, and the two energy-absorbing pads are detachably placed in the two pockets respectively. The outer side of the energy-absorbing pad is arc-shaped, and the inner side is provided with an arc-shaped groove. The bending degree of the arc-shaped groove is greater than the bending degree of the outer side of the energy-absorbing pad. The thickness of the energy-absorbing pad gradually decreases from the middle to the upper and lower ends.
[0005] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the energy-absorbing pad is configured as a saddle shape that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the width of the lower end of the energy-absorbing pad is 1-1.5 times the width of its upper end.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, both the upper and lower ends of the energy-absorbing pad are set to be arc-shaped.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the thickness of the upper and lower ends of the energy-absorbing pad is the same.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, both pockets are located on the inside of the pants.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, both pockets are provided with openings.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, both openings are configured to be horizontal and located above the two pockets respectively.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, both openings are provided with shielding cloth.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, elastic bands are provided at the waistband and both legs of the pants.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the user wears the hip joint protection pants, the energy-absorbing pads in the side pockets are located on the left and right hips of the body, and the arc-shaped groove on the inner side of the energy-absorbing pad can fit the protruding hip. The energy-absorbing pad is not easy to shift when the user walks. The arc-shaped design on the outer side of the energy-absorbing pad can connect with the waist and leg curves of the body, further improving the fit of the energy-absorbing pad to the body. In addition, since the thickness of the energy-absorbing pad gradually decreases from the middle to the upper and lower ends, the thick part in the middle can provide stronger support and cushioning, effectively dispersing the impact force from the outside when falling, reducing the instantaneous impact on the hip joint, and preventing hip joint fracture.

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / connections involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. For example, fixed connections / fixed installations can use screw connections, bolt connections, pin connections, key connections, adhesive connections, mortise and tenon connections, welding, riveting, etc., as needed. For detachable connections, screw connections, bolt connections, threaded connections, snap-fit connections, mortise and tenon connections, Velcro connections, etc., can be used as needed. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a hip joint protection pant, including a pant body 1 and two energy-absorbing pads 2. Each side of the pant body 1 has pockets 11, and the two energy-absorbing pads 2 are detachably placed in the two pockets 11. When the user wears the hip joint protection pant, the energy-absorbing pads 2 in the pockets 11 are positioned on the left and right hips of the body. The energy-absorbing pads 2 are lightweight pads made of organic materials that conform to the shape of the human hip, possessing excellent cushioning performance and soft comfort. The energy-absorbing pads 2 can reduce the impact force during a fall, disperse and absorb most of the impact energy, reduce the impact energy on the hip / femoral neck, and disperse the impact energy to the soft tissues around the hip, thus preventing and reducing the occurrence of hip fractures.
[0025] For details, please see Figure 4 The outer side of the energy-absorbing pad 2 is arc-shaped, and the inner side has an arc-shaped groove 21, with the curvature of the groove 21 being greater than that of the outer side of the energy-absorbing pad 2. The thickness of the energy-absorbing pad 2 gradually decreases from the middle to the upper and lower ends. The arc-shaped groove 21 on the inner side of the energy-absorbing pad 2 can fit the protruding hip, making it less likely for the energy-absorbing pad 2 to shift when the user walks. The arc-shaped design on the outer side of the energy-absorbing pad 2 can connect with the curves of the waist and legs of the human body, further improving the fit between the energy-absorbing pad 2 and the human body. Furthermore, because the thickness of the energy-absorbing pad 2 gradually decreases from the middle to the upper and lower ends, the thicker middle part can provide stronger support and cushioning, effectively dispersing the impact force from the outside when falling, reducing the instantaneous impact on the hip joint, and preventing hip fracture.
[0026] To further facilitate use, the energy-absorbing pad 2 is designed in a saddle shape that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, with recesses on both sides. The recessed areas form natural ventilation channels, reducing the accumulation of moisture and heat, and reducing skin friction and discomfort. Furthermore, designing the energy-absorbing pad 2 in a saddle shape also reduces the amount of material used, lightens the overall weight, and makes it easier for the elderly to wear.
[0027] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The width A of the lower end of the energy-absorbing pad 2 is 1-1.5 times the width B of its upper end. The widened bottom can increase the friction with the area below the hip and prevent the energy-absorbing pad 2 from shifting upward during the cushioning process. The optimal implementation method is to widen the width A of the lower end to 1-1.5 times the width B of the upper end, which ensures friction and controls the amount of material used at the lower end.
[0028] Please see Figure 4 The energy-absorbing pad 2 has curved ends, which makes it easy to put the energy-absorbing pad 2 into the pocket 11, making it more convenient to use.
[0029] In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the energy-absorbing pad 2 have the same thickness. The symmetrical thickness design allows the upper and lower ends of the energy-absorbing pad 2 to absorb and disperse pressure evenly when subjected to impact, avoiding stress concentration and reducing the risk of local wear or damage.
[0030] Both pockets 11 are located on the inside of the pants body 1. The inside design ensures that the energy-absorbing pad 2 is always fixed in the part that needs protection, preventing it from shifting when walking. Moreover, placing the pockets 11 on the inside can also prevent the energy-absorbing pad 2 from falling out.
[0031] Both pockets 11 are provided with openings 111. The openings 111 facilitate the removal and placement of the energy-absorbing pad 2. When the pants 1 needs to be washed, the energy-absorbing pad 2 can be taken out, the pants 1 can be washed clean, and then the energy-absorbing pad 2 can be put back in to prevent the energy-absorbing pad 2 from being damaged during the washing process and extend the service life of the energy-absorbing pad 2. In addition, both openings 111 are horizontal and located above the two pockets 11 respectively. This design can prevent the energy-absorbing pad 2 from falling out of the openings 111 during friction and facilitate the vertical removal and placement of the energy-absorbing pad 2.
[0032] To further prevent the energy-absorbing pad 2 from slipping out, a cover cloth 112 is provided at both openings 111. The cover cloth 112 blocks the openings 111, which can prevent the energy-absorbing pad 2 from slipping out accidentally and losing its protective function. In addition, the cover cloth 112 can also prevent dust and small debris from entering the pocket 11, keeping the energy-absorbing pad 2 clean.
[0033] Please see Figure 1In this embodiment, elastic bands 12 are provided at the waist and both legs of the pants body 1. The elastic bands 12 conform to the waist and leg curves of the user, avoiding tightness or looseness, improving wearing comfort and making them suitable for people of different body types, thus expanding the scope of application.
[0034] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
