Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for protecting the body of a jockey or rider from an accident such as a fall or fall of a horse or a motorcycle, and more particularly, to a vest-type structure for protecting the upper half of the body. It relates to a riding protector.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in horse racing, especially in an obstacle race, it is required to wear a vest-type protector for the purpose of protecting a jockey from an impact such as a fall accident. ing. However, in this type of protector, when the cushioning force is increased to protect the body, the amount of deformation of the material is reduced and the degree of freedom is impaired.

[0003] In addition, because of the drawback that the air permeability is impaired, especially when worn in summer, the environment inside the protector is deteriorated due to sweating, and even if encouragement of the protector is encouraged, heat radiation is disliked. There is also a problem that players who do not wear the protector do not disappear.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is excellent in air permeability, sufficiently exerts a shock absorbing ability in a thickness direction, and can secure light weight and sufficient deformation. It is another object of the present invention to provide a riding protector having a novel structure that allows a sufficient degree of freedom when worn.

[0005]

That is, the present invention comprises a front body portion, a back body portion, and a tail bone covering portion extending from the lower end of the back body portion to the buttocks. The side end is configured to open or close the armhole under the shoulder opening and can be fixed or released freely to constitute the expansion and contraction adjustment means of the side opening amount,
Between the front edges of the front bodies, a vest-type protector clothing base material that constitutes opening and closing means such as a fastener is sewn with a mesh material, and the vest-type protector clothing base material is made of a mesh material. A material and backing material are double-stitched, and the same material is used for a plurality of pad housing blocks that are divided by suturing a front material and a backing material to each of the left and right front body, rear body, and coccyx covering part. The present invention relates to a riding protector in which shock absorbing pads having different shapes or different shapes and having the same structure or different structures are separately housed.

The riding protector according to the present invention has a structure in which the vest-type protector clothing base material is sewn with a single mesh fabric, and the left and right front body portions, the rear body portion,
The gist is that a shock absorbing pad having an appropriate size and shape is sectioned and adhered to each part of the tail bone covering part by various means.

The above-mentioned shock-absorbing pad is entirely or partially made of a very thin sheet material having a predetermined plane-direction plastic force such as Kevlar, paper or aluminum, or a honeycomb plate made of such a material. The present invention can be implemented by a configuration in which elastic substrates having small holes made of a soft synthetic resin material or a synthetic resin foam material are arranged on at least one surface of a plate.

Further, all or a part of the shock absorbing pad may be provided with silicone rubber or silicone rubber on one or both sides of an elastic substrate made of a soft synthetic resin material or a synthetic resin foam material having an appropriate thickness and provided with through holes in the surface direction. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a three-dimensional shock absorbing structure is formed by forming a three-dimensional cross-linking rib having a certain width and height by a urethane rubber so as to intersect in a lattice pattern.

The shock absorbing pads 13 accommodated in the respective pad accommodating blocks 14 have a rectangular structure that is higher in rigidity than other portions, and are accommodated or extracted from each pad accommodating block 14 having the bag lid 15 as necessary. Alternatively, the housing arrangement can be changed.

FIG. 4A is a perspective view of the shock absorbing pads 11 and 12 having a rectangular or regular hexagonal plan view, with a part thereof cut away. Reference numeral 16 denotes a honeycomb plate, which is formed of a very thin sheet material such as Kevlar, paper, or aluminum having a predetermined plane-direction plastic force.

Reference numeral 17 denotes an elastic substrate made of a soft synthetic resin material or a synthetic resin foam material which is laminated on both surfaces of the honeycomb plate 16 and cut to an appropriate thickness. The elastic substrate 1
7 has a number of small holes 18, 18 at appropriate intervals in the plane direction.
Are perforated and arranged to form a perforated elastic substrate.

The honeycomb plate 16 and the elastic substrates 17, 17
The shock absorbing pads 11 and 12 in which the
.. And the honeycomb holes constitute a large number of air passages that penetrate the plate surface. The shock absorbing pad 13 used for the coccyx covering portion 4 is obtained by cutting an elastic substrate made of a soft synthetic resin material or a synthetic resin foam material to an appropriate thickness, as shown in the cross section in FIG. Is

In the riding protector having the above structure, the shock absorbing pads 11 and 12 arranged on the vest-type protector clothing base material 1 sewn with a mesh fabric are used to form the honeycomb plate 16 into an extremely strong material such as Kevlar, paper or aluminum. Due to the three-dimensional shock absorbing structure composed of thin thin sheet material, it becomes a three-dimensional shape linked by the cross-linking rib structure of the thin sheet material, and the structure has through holes arranged and penetrated in the front and back directions, so that the thickness is The three-dimensional bridge structure can be three-dimensionally absorbed by the three-dimensional bridge structure with physical deformation such as twisting, crushing, or cutting against a load in the direction and the plane direction, and the overall weight can be reduced.

Further, by changing the thickness of the honeycomb plate 16 and the size of the honeycomb hole, it is possible to change the shock absorbing force and the proof stress. Further, since the elastic substrate 17 made of a soft synthetic resin material or a synthetic resin foam material has an elastic resistance against crushing in the thickness direction, the honeycomb plate 16 is crushed and deformed, and at the same time, the impact is also absorbed by the elastic substrate 17. Together with the shock absorbing properties of the above.

Further, since a number of small holes 18, 18... Are formed at appropriate intervals on the surface of the elastic substrate 17, even if the honeycomb plate 16 and the elastic substrate 17 are integrated, the small holes 1
A large number of air passages that penetrate the plate surface are formed by the honeycomb holes of the honeycomb plate 16 and 8, 18,..., And the good air permeability of the vest-type protector clothing base material 1 sewn by the mesh fabric can be maintained. .

Further, in this embodiment, the shock absorbing pads 12 arranged on the front body 2 and the rear body except for the front center and the back center of the wearer are arranged in a regular hexagonal honeycomb shape. It is easy to bend not only in the vertical and horizontal directions but also in the left and right diagonal directions, so that it has excellent freedom in all directions,
When worn on a human body, it has a feature of being smoothly surrounded and having excellent follow-up performance, and can reduce discomfort caused by wearing. In addition, by arranging hexagonal honeycomb blocks, the shock absorbing pad can be formed in various shapes such as a triangle, a square, a parallelogram, or a variant shape, so that all portions of the surface can be filled.
