Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective gear, and more specifically, it relates to a knee and elbow pad assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Knee and elbow pads are common sports protective gear, mainly used to protect the knee and elbow joints and reduce the risk of joint injury during sports or daily activities.
[0003] Knee and elbow braces often have similar structures, differing mainly in size. To facilitate the fixation of knee or elbow braces, they are typically equipped with two straps. One end of each strap has a metal buckle, and the outer side of the brace body has a buckle point. The overall length of the strap can be controlled by adjusting how far the strap passes through the metal buckle. The straps are elastic, and the metal buckle has interconnected large and small holes. After the buckle point passes through the large hole, it moves to the small hole position due to the elasticity of the strap. The diameter of the upper end of the buckle point is larger than the diameter of the small hole, thus preventing the metal buckle from coming off and securing the strap. This method of fixation is quick and convenient.
[0004] However, when the protective gear is not in use, people need to put it away. At this time, because no limbs pass through it, it cannot provide effective support for the straps. As a result, the metal buckles and buckles cannot form an effective connection, causing the straps to sag and easily become knotted or worn.
[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a knee and elbow support component.
[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a knee and elbow pad assembly, comprising a protective body, two elastic straps fixedly connected to one side of the protective body, a metal buckle at the end of the strap facing away from the protective body, a buckle point on the outer side of the protective body, a large hole and a small hole communicating with each other on the metal buckle, a support rod fixedly connected to the protective body, a cavity for the straps to pass through between the support rod and the protective body, the buckle point including a fixed point and an auxiliary hook point, the fixed point being near the side of the protective body where the support rod is located, the auxiliary hook point being near the side of the protective body where the straps are fixed, the number of auxiliary hook points being several, and the several auxiliary hook points being arranged along the width direction of the protective body, the auxiliary hook points being movable toward the protective body.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the support rod includes a horizontal bar and a diagonal bar, one end of the horizontal bar is fixed to the protective gear body, the other end of the horizontal bar is fixed to the diagonal bar, the end of the diagonal bar away from the horizontal bar abuts against the protective gear body, and the diagonal bar has deformation properties.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that an abutting dot is fixedly connected to the end of the diagonal bar away from the horizontal bar.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a sliding hole is provided on the outer wall of the main body of the protective gear, the auxiliary hanging point is slidably connected in the sliding hole, and a compression spring is provided in the sliding hole, the two ends of the compression spring respectively abutting against the bottom of the sliding hole and the auxiliary hanging point.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a sub-buckle is fixedly connected to one side of the metal buckle, and a plurality of female buckles are provided on the side of the strap facing away from the main body of the protective gear, and the sub-buckle can be fastened to the female buckle.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: an insulating cloth is provided on the side of the strap facing the main body of the protective gear, and the insulating cloth is located at the position of the strap fixing connection buckle.
[0013] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] When the protective gear needs to be stored, the straps are first passed through the cavity, then folded in half, and finally fastened to the auxiliary attachment points with metal buckles. Supported by the support rod, the straps deform, preventing the auxiliary attachment points from easily slipping out of the small holes. Multiple auxiliary attachment points allow users to choose the appropriate point based on the effective length of their straps, ensuring the straps deform to maintain the metal buckles' fixation. This design prevents the straps from sagging during normal storage, reducing the likelihood of knots. Since the auxiliary attachment points are positioned along the width of the protective gear, those near the center of the main body may bump against it during use. The retractable design reduces the impact of these attachment points on the main body, minimizing discomfort. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] Knee and elbow pad components, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective gear includes a main body. Two elastic straps 1 are fixedly connected to one side of the main body. A metal buckle 2 is provided at the end of the strap 1 facing away from the main body. Buckle points are provided on the outer side of the main body. The metal buckle 2 has interconnected large and small holes. A support rod is fixedly connected to one side of the main body. A cavity 3 is formed between the support rod and the main body for the straps 1 to pass through. The buckle points include a fixing point 4 and an auxiliary hanging point 5. The fixing point 4 is near the side of the main body where the support rod is located, and the auxiliary hanging point 5 is near the side of the main body where the straps are fixed. On one side of the strap 1, there are several auxiliary attachment points 5, which are arranged along the width of the protective gear body. The auxiliary attachment points 5 can move towards the protective gear body. People can adjust the effective length of the strap 1 by adjusting the distance the strap 1 passes through the metal buckle 2, so that the strap 1 can match their limbs. After the strap 1 is adjusted, people pass the fixing point 4 through the large hole on the metal buckle 2 and then move it to the small hole. Because the diameter of the small hole is smaller than the diameter of the upper end of the fixing point 4, the metal buckle 2 is not easily attached to the fixing point 4. The binding strap 1 is released, thus completing the connection between the metal buckle 2 and the fixing point 4. Under the support of the user's limbs, the strap 1 is not easy to shift from the small hole to the large hole of the metal buckle 2, thus ensuring the stability of the binding strap 1. When the protective gear needs to be stored, the user first passes the strap 1 through the cavity 3, then folds the strap 1 in half, and then fastens it to the auxiliary hanging point 5 through the metal buckle 2. Under the support of the support rod, the strap 1 will deform, thus making it difficult for the auxiliary hanging point 5 to come out of the small hole. Moreover, there are multiple auxiliary hanging points 5, so that the user can choose the appropriate auxiliary hanging point 5 according to the effective length of the strap 1, ensuring that the deformation of the strap 1 can maintain the fixation of the metal buckle 2. This setting makes the strap 1 less likely to sag when it is normally placed, reducing the occurrence of knots. Since several auxiliary hanging points 5 are set along the width direction of the protective gear body, the auxiliary hanging points 5 near the center of the protective gear body may collide during the use of the protective gear body. By setting a retractable function, the impact of the auxiliary hanging points 5 on the protective gear body can be reduced, reducing the user's sense of resistance.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the support rod includes a horizontal bar 6 and a diagonal bar 7. One end of the horizontal bar 6 is fixed to the main body of the protective gear, and the other end of the horizontal bar 6 is fixed to the diagonal bar 7. The end of the diagonal bar 7 away from the horizontal bar 6 is in contact with the main body of the protective gear, and the diagonal bar 7 has deformable properties. A contact point 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the diagonal bar 7 away from the horizontal bar 6. When the strap 1 needs to pass through the cavity 3, people insert the strap 1 from the contact point 8 between the diagonal bar 7 and the main body of the protective gear, that is, the strap 1 passes between the contact point 8 and the main body of the protective gear. Because the end of the diagonal bar 7 facing away from the horizontal bar 6 is in contact with the main body of the protective gear when not under external force, the strap 1 is not easy to come out of the cavity 3 when it is folded and fixed. A female buckle 11 is also fixedly connected to one side of the metal buckle 2, and several female buckles 12 are provided on the side of the strap 1 facing away from the main body of the protective gear. The female buckle 11 can be fastened to the female buckle 12. Because the thickness of people's limbs varies greatly, the effective length of some straps 1 is insufficient for the metal buckle 2 to be fastened to the outside of the protective gear body. Therefore, the structure of the female buckle 11 and the female buckle 12 is designed so that when the effective length of the strap 1 is relatively short, the female buckle 11 of the metal buckle 2 can be fastened to the female buckle 12 of the strap 1 to ensure that the strap 1 is in a relatively tight state and to prevent the strap 1 from sagging. An insulating cloth 13 is also provided on the side of the strap 1 facing the protective gear body. The insulating cloth 13 is located at the position where the strap 1 is fixedly connected to the female buckle 12. Since the female buckle 12 is fixed to the strap 1 by riveting, the insulating cloth 13 ensures that the female buckle 12 will not come into direct contact with people's skin, thus ensuring the comfort of the strap 1.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the protective gear body is provided with a sliding hole 9, and the auxiliary hook point 5 is slidably connected in the sliding hole 9. A compression spring 10 is provided in the sliding hole 9. The two ends of the compression spring 10 abut against the bottom of the sliding hole 9 and the auxiliary hook point 5, respectively. When the auxiliary hook point 5 is squeezed, the auxiliary hook point 5 can slide into the sliding hole 9, thereby reducing the degree to which the auxiliary hook point 5 protrudes from the outer surface of the protective gear body and reducing the feeling of resistance. After the subsequent compression ends, it can return to its original position under the action of the compression spring 10, so that there is enough space between the auxiliary hook point 5 and the protective gear body for the metal buckle 2 to be fastened. The protective gear body is made of neoprene rubber. Neoprene rubber has good elasticity and can closely fit the curve of the knee joint. It naturally stretches and contracts with the joint movement during exercise, which does not affect the flexibility of movement and provides continuous wrapping support, reducing the risk of injury caused by joint swaying.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
