Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sports protective gear, specifically relating to a portable shoulder shawl for squat training. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional squat training, the barbell comes into direct contact with the shoulders and chest / back. This can cause discomfort, bruising, and even pressure injuries. To avoid direct contact between the barbell and the shoulders and chest / back during squats, barbell shoulder pads are typically used to protect these areas. Existing barbell shoulder pads are sleeve-like structures with openings, which are then fitted onto the barbell. While they can alleviate some of the pressure on the shoulders and chest / back, they are inconvenient to install and offer limited protection. Especially during training, the shoulder pads can cause uneven stress on the shoulders, neck, and back, leading to instability and slippage. This prevents the barbell from effectively stabilizing its position and distributing pressure, creating a potential safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a portable shoulder protector shawl for squat training. The shawl is draped from the back of the neck to the shoulders, and the two sides of the shawl are connected to the chest via a connecting structure. It is easy to wear and can cover the user's upper back, shoulders, and part of the upper chest area, greatly increasing the protection area. During training, the shawl makes the barbell distribute the force on the shoulders, neck, chest, and back more evenly, increases the friction between the shawl and the barbell, prevents the barbell from slipping, and thus effectively relieves the pressure of the barbell on the shoulders, neck, and back, making it more pressure resistant.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a portable shoulder protector shawl for squat training, comprising a shawl body with an arc-shaped wraparound structure, including an arc-shaped opening that matches the shape of the human neck. The rear shawl body behind the arc-shaped opening covers the user's upper back, and the side shawl bodies on both sides of the arc-shaped opening cover the user's shoulders. The front ends of the side shawl bodies on both sides have shawl side arms extending forward towards the body, and the opposite sides of the two shawl side arms are provided with interconnecting structures. The two shawl side arms are connected by the connecting structures and then cover the upper chest area. The shawl body is made of a non-slip material.

[0005] Advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model

[0006] 1. This utility model covers the user's upper back, shoulders, and part of the upper chest area, which can effectively support and distribute the pressure of the barbell on the body. The non-slip layer on the outer layer of the cape can increase the friction with the barbell and prevent the barbell from moving. It has strong pressure resistance, non-slip properties, comfort, and stability, and is more convenient to wear. It is especially suitable for protecting the shoulders, back, and upper chest area during training such as front squats and back squats, improving the training experience and enhancing safety.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a portable shoulder protector shawl for squat training includes a shawl body 1, which has an arc-shaped wraparound structure, including an arc-shaped opening 11 that matches the shape of the human neck. The rear part of the arc-shaped opening 11 is an arc-shaped rear shawl body 12, which covers the user's upper back. The left and right sides of the arc-shaped opening 11 are arc-shaped side shawl bodies 13 connected to the left and right ends of the rear shawl body 12, which cover the user's shoulders. The front ends of the side shawl bodies 13 on both sides have arc-shaped shawl side arms 14 extending towards the chest. The opposite sides of the two shawl side arms 14 are provided with interconnecting structures 2, which are snaps, Velcro, or magnetic snaps, etc., for quick putting on and taking off of the shawl. The connected two shawl side arms 14 cover the upper chest area to protect the upper chest area during front squat training.

[0027] When wearing, the shawl body 1 is draped over the shoulders from behind the neck to the front, and the two side arms 14 of the shawl are brought together in front of the chest and connected and fixed by the connecting structure 2. The shawl after wearing is as follows: Figures 6 to 8 As shown, it covers the user's upper back, shoulders, and part of the upper chest area, which increases the protection area for the body during squat training and also increases the contact area between the shawl body 1 and the barbell, preventing the barbell from slipping during training.

[0028] This embodiment can be configured with different layers according to different training levels. When light training and basic protection are required, the shawl body 1 has only an anti-slip layer 15 made of anti-slip material. The anti-slip layer 15 is made of high-density anti-slip silicone, TPU composite cloth or anti-slip nylon cloth, which is used to increase the friction with the barbell and prevent the barbell from slipping. It has the characteristics of strong pressure resistance, sweat resistance, abrasion resistance, softness and elasticity, which can relieve the pressure of the barbell on the shoulders, neck and chest and back, and effectively improve the user's comfort and stability in squat or weight training.

[0029] To further enhance the anti-slip and stability performance of the shawl body 1, this embodiment can provide multiple evenly distributed anti-slip textures 151 on the top of the anti-slip layer 15. The anti-slip textures 151 can be honeycomb-shaped, wavy, striped, or dotted, etc., to increase the friction of the barbell contact surface, prevent the barbell from slipping during training, relieve pressure on the shoulders, neck and back, and further improve the stability of the barbell.

[0030] When basic intensity weight training is required, the shawl body 1 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it consists of an anti-slip layer 15 and a cushioning layer 16. The anti-slip layer 15 is located on top of the cushioning layer 16. The shawl body 1 improves the pressure resistance, cushioning and shaping support performance on the basis of protection and stability. The cushioning layer 16 is made of EVA foam or EPE foam, which has the characteristics of being lightweight, having strong pressure resistance, high resilience, excellent cushioning performance, antibacterial and deodorizing, so as to further disperse the direct pressure of the barbell on the shoulders and chest and back, and improve the comfort and safety during training.

[0031] When intermediate-intensity weight training is required, the shawl body 1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, from top to bottom, it consists of an anti-slip layer 15, a cushioning layer 16, and a skin-friendly layer 17. The shawl body 1, in addition to its protective, stable, pressure-resistant, cushioning, and shaping support properties, also features comfort, breathability, and sweat resistance. The skin-friendly layer 17 is made of Lycra or polyester elastic mesh fabric. This material is soft, skin-friendly, non-irritating, elastic, breathable, and moisture-wicking. It can better fit the curve of the human shoulder and neck, making it suitable for long-term wear and reducing discomfort and stuffiness during training.

[0032] When medium to high intensity weight training is required, the shawl body 1 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, from top to bottom, the shawl body 1 consists of an anti-slip layer 15, an abrasion-resistant layer 18, a cushioning layer 16, and a skin-friendly layer 17. In addition to the performance of the three-layer shawl body 1, the four-layer shawl body 1 also increases the abrasion resistance and tear resistance of the shawl body 1. The abrasion-resistant layer 18 is made of high-strength nylon fabric, which has the characteristics of high strength, lightness, waterproofness, and elasticity, and can extend the service life of the shawl body 1.

[0033] When used by professional weightlifters or individuals requiring high levels of protection, the number of fabric layers in the shawl body 1 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, from top to bottom, it consists of an anti-slip layer 15, a wear-resistant layer 18, a cushioning layer 16, a honeycomb support mesh layer 19, and a skin-friendly layer 17. The honeycomb support mesh layer 19 is made of lightweight polyester honeycomb mesh fabric and has a unique honeycomb structure, which allows air to circulate freely in the vents. In addition to having the performance of four layers of shawl body 1, the stability, pressure resistance and breathability of the shawl body 1 are further improved.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shawl body in all scenarios can be treated with silver ion processing to make the fabric antibacterial, and the different layers of the shawl body 1 can be compositely formed by bonding, hot pressing or sewing.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] See Figures 9 to 10 As shown, this embodiment 2 is an optimization based on embodiment 1. The structure and application scenario of the shawl body 1 are the same as in embodiment 1. The difference is that the left and right shoulder areas of the shawl body 1 are provided with adjustable structures 3 that can be adjusted according to the user's shoulder width. Since the shawl body 1 uses different functional layers that are elastic, when paired with the adjustable structure 3, the tension of the left and right sides of the shoulder support body 1 can be adjusted through the adjustable structure 3 to achieve adaptation for users with different shoulder widths. This is suitable for fitness groups with large differences in body shape among trainees. The adjustable structure 3 can adopt a Velcro design or an adjustment strap with a D-ring buckle.

[0037] When the adjustable structure 3 adopts a two-way adjustable Velcro design, the structure is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, it includes a first hook and loop fastener 31 and a second hook and loop fastener 32. One end of the first hook and loop fastener 31 is connected to the back shawl body 12, and the other end extends outward to be attached to the second hook and loop fastener 32. The second hook and loop fastener 32 is located on the side arm 14 of the shawl relative to the first hook and loop fastener 31. By attaching the first hook and loop fastener 31 on both sides to different positions of the second hook and loop fastener 32, the left and right tension of the shawl body 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the shoulder width of different users, thereby improving the fit and stability of the shawl with the user.

[0038] As a further optimization, the length of the second Velcro 32 extends from the chest area of ​​the shawl side arm 14 to the position opposite the shoulder of the shawl side arm 14. By increasing the length of the second Velcro 32, the size can be adjusted to the maximum range. That is, the user can cross-stitch or stick the Velcro on the same side according to their own body shape needs. Cross-stitching means that the left first Velcro 31 is wrapped around the left shoulder and stuck to the right second Velcro 32 on the chest, and the right first Velcro 31 is wrapped around the right shoulder and stuck to the left second Velcro 32 on the chest, making the shoulder width narrower and more fitted, suitable for slim body types. Sticking on the same side means that the left first Velcro 31 is wrapped around the left shoulder and stuck to the left second Velcro 32, and the right first Velcro 31 is wrapped around the right shoulder and stuck to the right second Velcro 32. Since the first Velcro 31 on both sides does not exert lateral tension on the shawl body, the shawl body is in a naturally unfolded state, stretched to a slightly relaxed state, suitable for users with broad shoulders or a more robust body.

[0039] When the adjustable structure 3 adopts a bidirectional adjustment belt design, the structure is as follows: Figure 10As shown, the shawl includes an adjustment strap 33 and a buckle 34. One end of the adjustment strap 33 is connected to the connecting post in the middle of the buckle 34. The other end of the adjustment strap 33 has an adjustable section left before being folded forward and passed through the two slots of the buckle 34. The adjusted strap 33, after passing through, is connected to the back shawl body 12, and the end of the adjustable section is connected to the side arm 14 of the shawl. By adjusting the position of the buckle 34 on the adjustment strap 33, the tension on the left and right sides of the shawl body 1 can be adjusted. Therefore, it can flexibly adapt to users with different shoulder widths, solving the problem of unstable barbell pressure caused by discomfort for users with different shoulder widths. This achieves the goal of one shawl adapting to multiple body types, improving the fit and stability of the shawl.

[0040] The materials used in this invention, such as high-density anti-slip silicone cloth, high-strength nylon cloth, EVA foam, lightweight polyester honeycomb mesh cloth, Lycra cloth, etc., are only preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can choose other materials with similar functions and properties to replace or combine them as needed.

[0041] The scope of protection of this utility model lies in the structural arrangement, stacking order, and functional implementation of different functional layers, and is not limited to the specific type, thickness, brand, source, or manufacturing method of the materials. Any product that adopts the same functional layering design as this utility model and achieves comprehensive functional effects such as anti-slip, wear resistance, cushioning support, breathability, and comfortable skin contact, regardless of its specific material, shall be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
