[0017] Reference Figures 1-9 A knee brace, comprising:

[0018] The knee brace body 1 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 opposite to the first end 11. The first end 11 and the second end 12 are connected so that the sidewalls of the knee brace body 1 surround to form a wrapping space 13 for wrapping the knee.

[0019] With the above structure, since it includes a knee brace body 1, the knee brace body 1 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 opposite to the first end 11. The first end 11 and the second end 12 are connected so that the side wall of the knee brace body 1 surrounds to form a wrapping space 13 for wrapping the knee. This allows the user to first wrap the knee brace body 1 around the knee so that the wrapping space 11 wraps and fixes the knee, allowing the knee brace body 1 to provide stable support and protection for the knee.

[0020] In this embodiment, a bag body 2 for containing gel or liquid is also included. The knee brace body 1 includes an outer surface 111 and an inner surface 112. The inner surface 112 surrounds and forms a wrapping space 13. The bag body 2 is connected to the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1. The bag body 2 and the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1 are detachably or fixedly connected. Specifically, the bag body 2 and the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1 are connected by heat fusion, Velcro 201, stitching 202, adhesive, buttons 203, magnetic attraction, or straps 205. Further, the bag body 2 and the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1 are adhesively connected by an adhesive layer 204. Even further, the bag body 2 and the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1 are magnetically connected by a magnet 206. The above structure effectively connects the bag body and the knee brace body, allowing users to place the knee brace in a microwave or refrigerator to heat or freeze the bag body. After heating or freezing, the knee brace can be removed from the microwave or refrigerator and wrapped around the knee, providing heat or ice application. Furthermore, the knee brace lacks metal connectors, allowing it to be heated in a microwave. Additionally, the bag body 2 and the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1 are connected by heat fusion, ensuring a stable connection and maintaining a smooth surface for greater user comfort.

[0021] In some other embodiments, the bag body can be connected to the knee pad body via Velcro or snaps.

[0022] In this embodiment, the bag body 2 further includes a dividing portion 3, which divides the bag body into multiple bag units 21. The bag body has a first receiving cavity 22 for containing gel 10111 or liquid, wherein the gel is a solid gel or a liquid gel, and the dividing portion 3 divides the first receiving cavity 22 into multiple non-communicating receiving units 221. Specifically, the bag body includes an upper half 23 and a lower half 24, which are connected and surround each other to form the first receiving cavity 22. The dividing portion 3 connects at least a portion of the upper half 23 to at least a portion of the lower half 24 to divide the first receiving cavity 22 into multiple non-communicating receiving units 221. Further, the dividing portion 3 is a dividing indentation. Even further, the multiple receiving units 221 are arranged sequentially along the transverse and longitudinal directions of the knee brace body 1. Furthermore, the dividing indentation includes a transverse indentation 31 and a longitudinal indentation 32, which are arranged in a crisscross pattern and are interconnected. Through this structure, the dividing indentation divides the first receiving cavity 22 into multiple non-interconnected receiving units 221, thereby fixing the volume within each receiving unit 221 and the amount of gel or liquid contained within it. This allows the gel or liquid to be evenly distributed across various areas of the bag body, enabling the bag body to evenly apply heat or ice to different parts of the knee, thus improving the heat or ice application effect of the bag body.

[0023] This embodiment also includes a patellar protection ring 4, which is connected to the knee brace body 1. The patellar protection ring 4 is flexible. The patellar protection ring 4 includes an outer liner 41 and a flexible filling layer 42. The outer liner 41 has a receiving space 411, and the filling layer 42 is disposed within the receiving space 411. The filling layer 42 is a cloth filling layer 42, a sponge filling layer 42, a cotton filling layer 42, or a silicone filling layer 42. The bag body 2 surrounds the patellar protection ring 4. Specifically, the patellar protection ring 4 is located in the center of the knee brace body 1. Through the above structure, the flexible patellar protection ring can effectively protect the user's patella during training, providing cushioning to prevent patellar injury. The patellar protection ring also has an avoidance groove 1001. The patellar protection ring is circular. The clearance groove 1001 is a circular clearance groove 1001.

[0024] In this embodiment, the transverse indentation 31 extends from the left edge to the right edge of the bag body 2, and the longitudinal indentation 32 extends from the upper edge to the lower edge of the bag body 2. This structure allows the gel or liquid to be evenly distributed throughout the bag body, preventing it from concentrating excessively in one area and thus increasing the effective area and overall effect of the bag body.

[0025] In this embodiment, the knee brace body 1 includes a main body portion 14 and a first connecting strip 15 disposed at a first end 11. The first connecting strip 15 has a third end 151 and a fourth end 152 opposite to the third end 151. The main body portion 14 has a fifth end 141 and a sixth end 142 opposite to the fifth end 141. The third end 151 of the first connecting strip 15 is connected to the fifth end 141 of the main body portion 14. The surface of the first connecting strip 15 has a first connecting surface 153 and a first connecting mating surface 154. The surface of the sixth end 142 of the main body portion 14 has a second connecting surface 143 and a second connecting mating surface 144. The first connecting surface 153 and the second connecting mating surface 144 are detachably connected, and the second connecting surface 143 and the first connecting mating surface 154 are detachably connected. The first connecting surface 153 and the first connecting mating surface 154 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the first connecting strip 15, and the second connecting surface 143 and the second connecting mating surface 144 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the main body portion 14. Specifically, the first connecting mating surface 154 and the first connecting surface 153 are arranged sequentially from the third end 151 to the fourth end 152, and the second connecting mating surface 144 and the second connecting surface 143 are arranged sequentially from the first end 11 to the second end 12. Further, the first connecting surface 153 is a first hook-and-loop fastener surface, the second connecting surface 143 is a second hook-and-loop fastener surface, the first connecting mating surface 154 is a first loop fastener surface, and the second connecting mating surface 144 is a second loop fastener surface. Through this structure, the first connecting surface at the fourth end of the first connecting strap connects to the second connecting mating surface of the main body, and the second connecting surface at the sixth end of the main body connects to the first connecting mating surface of the first connecting strap. This allows the first connecting strap to better conform to the surface of the knee brace body, preventing the fourth end of the first connecting strap and the sixth end of the main body from lifting or shifting, thus providing more stable protection for the user's knee and making the edges of the knee brace smoother.

[0026] In this embodiment, the knee brace body 1 further includes a second connecting strap 16 disposed at the second end 12. The second connecting strap 16 has a seventh end 161 and an eighth end 162. The seventh end 161 is connected to the sixth end 142 of the main body portion 14. The surface of the second connecting strap 16 has a third connecting surface 163, and the surface of the fifth end 141 of the main body portion 14 has a fourth connecting mating surface 145. The third connecting surface 163 and the fourth connecting mating surface 145 are detachably connected. The third connecting surface 163 is a third hook-and-loop fastener surface, and the fourth connecting mating surface 145 is a fourth hook-and-loop fastener loop surface.

[0027] Specifically, there are at least two first connecting straps 15, each connected to the upper and lower sides of the main body 14 respectively, and a second connecting strap 16 is located between the at least two first connecting straps 15. The at least two first connecting straps 15 are arranged in a U-shape. Further, there are at least two second connecting straps 16, each located between the at least two first connecting straps 15. The at least two second connecting straps 16 are arranged in a U-shape. With this structure, the first connecting straps can tighten the upper and lower sides of the knee brace to the user's knee, and the second connecting straps can tighten the middle of the knee brace to the knee, allowing the knee brace to fit snugly and wrap around the knee better.

[0028] In this embodiment, the knee brace body 1 further includes an elastic band 5. One end of the elastic band 5 is connected to a portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1, and the other end of the elastic band 5 is connected to another portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1, so that the elastic band 5 pulls a portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1 towards the other portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1, thereby further reducing the wrapping space 13. Alternatively, one end of the elastic band 5 is connected to a portion of the outer surface 111 of the knee brace body 1, and the other end of the elastic band 5 is connected to another portion of the outer surface 111 of the knee brace body 1, so that the elastic band 5 pulls a portion of the outer surface 111 of the knee brace body 1 towards the other portion of the outer surface 111 of the knee brace body 1, thereby further reducing the wrapping space 13; or, one end of the elastic band 5 is connected to a portion of the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1, and the other end of the elastic band 5 is connected to another portion of the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1, so that the elastic band 5 pulls a portion of the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1 towards the other portion of the inner surface 112 of the knee brace body 1, thereby further reducing the wrapping space 13. In this design, one end of the elastic band 5 is fixedly connected to a portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1, and the other end of the elastic band 5 is fixedly connected to another portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1. Through this structure, the elastic band 5 pulls a portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1 towards the other portion, further reducing the wrapping space 11. This allows the knee brace body 1 to further tighten around the knee, providing more stable support and protection, thereby improving the knee protection effect of the knee brace body 1.

[0029] In some other embodiments, one end of the elastic strap 5 is detachably connected to a portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1, and the other end of the elastic strap 5 is detachably connected to another portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1. With this structure, since one end of the elastic strap 5 is detachably connected to a portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1, and the other end of the elastic strap 5 is detachably connected to another portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1, it facilitates quick and easy on and off of the knee brace. Specifically, one end of the elastic strap 5 is detachably connected to a portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1 via a buckle, snap, or Velcro, and the other end of the elastic strap 5 is detachably connected to another portion of the surface of the knee brace body 1 via a buckle, snap, or Velcro.

[0030] In this embodiment, the second connecting strip 16 also has a third connecting mating surface 164, and the surface of the fifth end 141 of the main body 14 has a fourth connecting surface 146. The fourth connecting surface 146 and the third connecting mating surface 164 are detachably connected. The fourth connecting surface 146 is a fourth hook-and-loop fastener surface, and the third connecting mating surface 164 is a third hook-and-loop fastener surface. The third connecting surfaces 163 and 164 are arranged sequentially along the length of the second connecting strip 16, and the fourth connecting surfaces 146 and 145 are arranged sequentially along the length of the main body 14. Specifically, the third connecting surfaces 164 and 163 are arranged sequentially from the seventh end 161 to the eighth end 162, and the fourth connecting surfaces 145 and 146 are arranged sequentially from the second end 12 to the first end 11. The above structure allows the third mating surface of the second connecting band to connect with the fourth connecting surface 146 of the fifth end of the main body, preventing the second connecting band and the fifth end of the main body from tilting or shifting, so that the knee brace can more stably protect the user's knee and make the edge of the knee brace flatter.

[0031] In this embodiment, the length of the knee brace body ranges from 20-140cm, the width ranges from 10-40cm, and the thickness ranges from 0.1-2cm; the length of the bag body ranges from 10-60cm, the width ranges from 10-60cm, the thickness ranges from 0.1-2cm, and the volume ranges from 10-7200cm³. 3 The ratio between the length of the knee brace body and the length of the bag body ranges from 140:60 to 20:10; the ratio between the width of the knee brace body and the length of the bag body ranges from 60:40 to 10:10; the volume of the storage unit ranges from 10 to 7200 cm³. 3The width of the dividing section ranges from 1 to 10 cm; the length of the elastic band ranges from 1 to 12 cm, the width of the elastic band ranges from 1 to 10 cm, and the thickness of the elastic band ranges from 0.1 to 1 cm. Specifically, the length of the knee brace body is 93 cm, the width of the knee brace body is 27 cm, and the thickness of the knee brace body is 0.6 cm; the length of the bag body is 26.50 cm, the width of the bag body is 26 cm, the thickness of the bag body is 0.6 cm, and the volume of the bag body is 413.4 cm³. 3 The ratio of the length of the knee pad to the length of the bag body is 93:24, and the ratio of the width of the knee pad to the length of the bag body is 27:24; the volume of the storage unit is 67.8 cm³. 3 The width of the dividing section is 2cm; the length of the elastic band is 9cm, the width of the elastic band is 2.5cm, and the thickness of the elastic band is 0.3cm. This structure effectively integrates the knee brace body and the bag body, with a reasonable size design to meet the needs of different users and fit different knee sizes. Furthermore, the 1-5cm width of the dividing section effectively separates the bag body into multiple independent compartments. The 1-12cm length, 1-10cm width, and 0.1-1cm thickness of the elastic band enhance its strength, effectively compressing the wrapping space and keeping the elasticity within a reasonable range, making it easy for users to put on and take off the knee brace.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bag body can be either elastic or non-elastic; the bag body can be made of elastic nylon Lycra or non-elastic polyester fabric; the bag body has a first receiving cavity 22 for containing gel or liquid. The gel can be solid or liquid. When the first receiving cavity contains liquid gel or liquid, using a non-elastic bag body can shape the liquid gel or liquid within the first receiving cavity. Furthermore, the non-elastic polyester fabric bag body has excellent wrinkle resistance and shape retention, making the bag body less prone to wrinkling during use and maintaining its original shape. When the gel is solid, using an elastic bag body can better wrap and tighten the solid gel within the first receiving cavity, allowing the bag body to better adhere to the solid gel, resulting in a smoother surface. Moreover, the nylon Lycra fabric bag body is not only lightweight yet tough, abrasion-resistant, and wear-resistant, but also possesses high elasticity, high stretchability, softness, comfort, and good shape retention. The gel is a CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) gel. CMC gel can absorb a large amount of moisture, prolonging the moisturizing time of the bag's main body, making it particularly suitable for knee braces used for ice or heat therapy. Furthermore, the solid or liquid gel is composed of at least polyacrylamide, glycerin, water, sodium alginate, and gelatin.
