Cycling protective plates and gear
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202421207673.X, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 30, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of cycling protective gear technology, such as a cycling guard plate and protective gear. Background Technology
[0003] When cycling, it is necessary to wear cycling protective gear, such as cycling clothing, helmet, neck brace, and knee pads. Wearing protective gear can prevent the head from being exposed to the cold wind when cycling in cold weather, and can also protect the head in the event of an accident.
[0004] In related technologies, the lower edge of the head protection gear is usually designed to be tapered, extending to the shoulders to protect the neck during cycling; alternatively, a fiber cloth is attached to the protective gear to cover the neck from the side. However, in both of these methods, gaps remain between the protective gear and the face and neck, allowing wind to still enter during cycling.
[0005] That is, the protective gear in the relevant technology leaves gaps between the rider's face and neck, which has the disadvantage of allowing wind to enter through the gaps during riding. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application provides a cycling guard and protective gear to solve the problem of airflow entering through gaps between the protective gear and the cyclist's face and neck during cycling.
[0007] The following technical solution is adopted in this application:

[0028] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present application, not the entire structure.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0032] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this application provides a cycling guard and protective gear. The protective gear includes a body and a cycling guard. The cycling guard is disposed inside the body and configured as an inner liner. There are two cycling guards, which are located on opposite sides of the body and are used to fit the rider's face and neck.
[0033] The cycling guard includes a first protective part 10 and a second protective part 20. The first protective part 10 is used to fit the upper face of the cyclist, and the second protective part 20 is connected to the bottom of the first protective part 10. The first end of the second protective part 20 is used to fit the lower part of the cyclist, and the second end of the second protective part 20 is used to fit the neck. The first protective part 10 and the second protective part 20 are integrated. The inner side of the first protective part 10 and the second protective part 20 forms an arc-shaped concave surface 30, which is arranged around the cyclist's head to fit the cyclist's face and neck.
[0034] By setting an integrated first protective part 10 and a second protective part 20 to form a riding guard, and forming an arc-shaped concave surface 30 on the inner side of the riding guard, the riding guard can wrap around the rider's head and fit snugly against the face and neck, improving the head's coverage and effectively preventing wind from entering during riding.
[0035] In one embodiment, the riding pad is made of a sponge material, such as polyurethane sponge, acetate sponge, and polyvinyl alcohol sponge; the sponge is three-dimensionally cut, for example by laser cutting.
[0036] In this embodiment, a mold is used to process the sponge. The mold has a groove, the shape of which is the outline of a cycling safety plate, and the shape of the bottom of the groove matches the shape of the face. During processing, the sponge is placed on the mold and cut under compression, keeping the cut surface flat. After cutting, the sponge is released to obtain a sponge of a specific shape. By using a mold with grooves and cutting the sponge under compression, the processing is simple, and the sponge can be cut into specific shapes, reducing input and improving processing efficiency.
[0037] In this embodiment, the second protective part 20 extends along the first direction, extending from the rider's lower body to the neck. The bottom edge of the second protective part 20 is streamlined to fit the neck. By setting the second protective part 20 to extend rearward from the lower body to the back of the neck, it wraps around the head and neck from the side. By setting the bottom edge to be streamlined, it not only provides protection but also conforms to the lines of the rider's shoulders and neck, ensuring the rider's neck comfort and flexibility of movement.
[0038] In one embodiment, the inner side of the first end of the second protective part 20 is used to fit the cheek and jaw of the lower part, and the inner side of the second end is used to fit the back of the neck, which can both support the cheek and prevent gaps between the riding guard and the rider's head.
[0039] To ensure a proper fit between the riding guard and the face and neck, the thickness of the second protective part 20 increases first and then decreases along the first direction, with the thickness at the first end being greater than that at the second end. By setting the thickness of the second protective part 20 to increase first and then decrease along the first direction, it can match one side of the rider's head, preventing wind from entering through the gaps between the riding guard and the head.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first protective part 10 is connected to the top of the first end of the second protective part 20; the first protective part 10 extends along a second direction to fit the cheekbone and temple area of the upper face; the thickness of the first protective part 10 first increases and then decreases along the second direction. By setting the first protective part 10 to protect the cheekbone and temple area, the protective function for the cyclist is ensured; by setting the thickness of the two ends of the first protective part 10 to be smaller than the thickness of the middle part, the thickness of the first protective part 10 at the temple position is smaller, thereby reducing pressure, so that while wrapping the head, there is no pressure on the temple area, improving wearing comfort.
[0041] In one embodiment, the acute angle between the first direction and the second direction ranges from 30° to 60°. In this embodiment, the acute angle between the first direction and the second direction is 45°.
[0042] Referring to Figure 2, the riding guard is Y-shaped, with a notch 40 between the first protective part 10 and the second protective part 20. The front end of the first protective part 10 is connected to the second protective part 20, and the end of the first protective part 10 is designed to fit against the temple. By providing the notch 40, the ear can be effectively avoided, and the position of the end of the first protective part 10 can be more flexible to accommodate different riders' heads. The notch 40 can be arc-shaped or elongated.
[0043] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the cycling guard has a contour line 50, with 11 points along the contour line 50 from point A to point K. Point A corresponds to the first end of the second protective part 20, that is, the inner surface of points A and B is used to fit the cheek and jaw. Point J corresponds to the second end of the second protective part 20, that is, the inner surface of point J is used to fit the back of the neck. Point C corresponds to the front end of the first protective part 10, that is, the inner surface of point C is used to fit the cheekbone. Point E corresponds to the end of the first protective part 10, that is, the inner surface of points D to E and F is used to fit the temple.
[0044] When cutting the sponge in three dimensions, the corresponding thickness is cut from point A to point K. Compared with the sponge produced by conventional bonding process, the thickness is more uniform and the thickness at the same point in each sponge is consistent, ensuring wearing comfort and fit to the face and neck. The process is simple and prevents static electricity.
[0045] When worn, the cycling face shield gradually thins from the cheek to the temple, without putting pressure on the temple. The curved concave surface of the cycling face shield is concave to fit the cheekbone area. The overall shape of the cycling face shield is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, which can support the cheek and fit snugly around the head and neck.
[0046] The following are specific thickness parameters for cycling skid plates:
[0047] The thickness is 45mm at point A, 40mm at point B, 45mm at point C, 30mm at point D, 20mm at point E, 20mm at point F, 25mm at point G, 30mm at point H, 35mm at point I, 45mm at point J, and 40mm at point K.
[0048] Specifically, the distance from point A to point J is approximately twice the distance from point A to point C; the distance from point E to point F is approximately equal to the distance from point I to point J; and the distance from point C to point D is approximately one-third of the distance from point A to point J. In other embodiments, the thickness of the riding guard at each point can be finely adjusted according to the actual size of the riding guard.
