Definitions
- the present invention as indicated by the title thereof, relates to a sock that has its own fastening and immobilising means for a shin guard, with the particular feature in that it also allows the material that makes up said shin guard to be a thermoplastic polymer, a material which has a greater ability to absorb blows, in addition to other advantages that will be explained in this description.
- shin guards to protect athletes' tibias from blows by the weightlifting bars or by other football players.
- the majority of shin guards are rigid bodies, which are fastened to the leg by means of the sock itself, and thus they do not provide comfort or complete fastening, causing constant problems when the athlete is jumping, kicking, hitting against another object, running, etc., given that the protection moves from one side to another, up and down, or the shin guard comes out of the sock, and therefore, the majority of athletes use a Velcro strap or adhesive tape to fasten the shin guard to the leg, with the drawback in that it makes it even more uncomfortable for the athlete to move their leg while practicing the sport.
- a sock which includes a front pocket into which the shin guard is inserted, this invention being described in document ES1081930, which relates to shin guard socks for practicing football, which incorporate an adjustable compartment into which the shin guard is inserted, situated in the area of the tibia with an opening at the top part of the compartment which can remain open, or if it is considered convenient, closing materials such as Velcro or other similar materials can be used to complement the immobilisation of the shin guard if necessary.
- a shin guard stabiliser that can be used for contact sports, which comprises an elastic tubular sock that has a front inner pocket intended to hold the shin guard, which is encapsulated in the pocket and adjusted by the elastic sock, provided with a Velcro closure on the front inner face of the pocket and another Velcro situated on the upper inner face of the sock which closes the compartment with the two closures, the first on the lower part of the sock made up of two rubber pieces, the lower rubber piece being adjustable with Velcro at the end thereof and the upper rubber piece adjustable with Velcro at the end thereof.
- shin guards specifically for use in practicing football and other similar sports in which impacts to the area of the tibia are common
- shin guards specifically used by professionals are known, which are even custom-made and made of carbon fibre or other very light yet resistant materials
- more common shin guards are known, made of a polycarbonate-type plastic, which coats a padded inner area, and which can be made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) or a similar spongy and flexible material.
- EVA ethylene-vinyl acetate
- the object of this model is a shin guard sock that combines the advantages of a sock with a pocket integrated on the front face of the same, which serves as a support and means for immobilising a light shin guard, but with a resistance to impact that is similar to other metal or carbon fibre shin guards, which once included in this pocket is kept in position, without the need to use complementary fastening means and which, therefore, provides a solution for many athletes who require an absolute fastening of their shin guards to their legs, also providing freedom of movement, comfort and a quick placement, while, in turn, eliminating the need to use adhesive tape.
- the shin guard of the invention which has been designed to be able to be included inside the pocket defined on the inside of the sock has three protective layers: an internal layer made of a thermoplastic polymer, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is facing the leg, separated from it only by the fabric of the pocket that supports the shin guard; a second external layer made of a polycarbonate to which an external coating of polyurethane elastomer is applied by spraying, which is extremely hard and makes up the impact surface of the shin guard, and is, therefore, situated in contact with the inner face of the sock, in correspondence with the tibia of the leg on which it is placed.
- This coating forms a rough surface and therefore does not allow the shin guard to move once it is situated in position inside the pocket of the sock.
- these types of shin guards and placement means made up of an inner pocket in the sock not only allow shin guards to be used in an effective and comfortable way, but the ideal use thereof is achieved with compression socks, which further allow for better circulation in athletes' legs, since they exert light pressure, allowing the blood to easily flow upwards, which helps prevent swelling of the legs, soreness and muscular injuries.
- compression socks which further allow for better circulation in athletes' legs, since they exert light pressure, allowing the blood to easily flow upwards, which helps prevent swelling of the legs, soreness and muscular injuries.
- the use of external compression socks causes different complex physiological and biochemical effects that affect the venous, arterial and lymphatic systems, while at the same time, regardless of the type of compression used, and if the right materials and techniques are applied, the effects of the compression can be highly beneficial, reducing swelling and pain as well as reducing problems caused by venous insufficiency.
- the same inventor recently developed complementary fastening means for footwear made up of, among other elements, a series of prints on the support areas for the foot on the upper face of the insole of the shoe, which form a series of grooves and holes, with which the surface of the sock of the user makes contact, increasing the grip of the same and, therefore, of the foot, on the insole of the shoe.
- the sock of the invention has silicone prints on the lower part and external face thereof in support areas of the foot in the shoe, which, being equivalent to the ones on the insole of the shoe, also allow the foot to be perfectly secured inside the athlete's boot or shoe, preventing the movement thereof when there is a gap or when the corresponding fastening means are loosened.
- FIG. 1 shows a general view of a sock ( 1 ) provided with a shin guard ( 3 ), which is fastened to the leg of an athlete by means of an inner pocket ( 2 ).
- FIG. 2 is a view that is equivalent to the previous figure, with a partial cross section in the front area so as to show the shin guard ( 3 ) and the pocket ( 2 ).
- FIG. 3 shows a view of the shin guard ( 3 ) outside of the sock ( 1 ).
- FIG. 4 shows a general view of a sock ( 1 ) provided with prints ( 12 ) on the sole of the foot.
- FIG. 5 represents a transverse cross-sectional view of a sock ( 1 ) at the central part of the shin guard ( 3 ) and the inner pocket ( 2 ).
- the shin guard sock for practicing sport object of this invention is of the type that incorporates a compartment ( 2 ) in the form of a pocket situated in the area of the tibia.
- This pocket ( 2 ) is open at the top and optionally provided with a type of closing means.
- this pocket ( 2 ) is fastened by heat sealing to the front area of the sock ( 1 ), in correspondence with the athlete's tibia, and defines a space that is appropriate for inserting therein a shin guard ( 3 ) which remains immobilised in an operating position, protecting this area of the leg while the athlete is practicing sport.
- the shin guard ( 3 ) which is inserted into the pocket ( 2 ) defined in the sock ( 1 ), has a constitution formed by three protective layers made of different materials; namely:
- the external coating ( 31 ) is achieved by applying by means of spraying a layer of high-performance polyurethane elastomers, which do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOC) and which once applied make up a 100% solid product.
- VOC volatile organic compounds
- LINE-X® was used, which is a product of this nature that offers an exceptional performance based on protective layers of elastomers for surfaces; this product is easy to use and fast drying (3 seconds), and furthermore, it offers exceptional adherence features and forms an excellent protective film for chemical resistance and as a protective barrier for moisture, among other features.
- the sock ( 1 ) object of the invention is preferably a compressive elastic clothing item; with a composition of 85-95% polyamide and 15-5% elastane, which is a synthetic fibre known for its exceptional elasticity, made up of a urethane-urea copolymer, which is extremely strong but not as long-lasting as natural latex.
- This sock ( 1 ) has silicone prints ( 12 ) on the lower part and outer face thereof in support areas of the foot in the shoe, which have the aim of preventing the mobility of the foot inside the shoe, when there is space between the two.
- FIG. 5 shows a cross section of a sock ( 1 ) with a compressive tissue ( 11 ) in which, on the front face thereof a pocket ( 29 ) has been heat sealed along perimeter strips ( 21 ), leaving the upper mouth open in order to allow a shin guard ( 3 ) of the mentioned type to be inserted in said pocket ( 2 ).
- the sock is maintained in the final position thereof, and more easily when it is a compression sock; and for the same reason, the shin guard ( 3 ) is also maintained in the proper position, in front of the tibia and without moving to either side or downwards, given that the sock ( 1 ) along with the shin guard ( 3 ) prevents the same from happening.
