Abstract
Description
Motorradschutzbekleidungen dienen in verschiedener Weise dem Schutz des Motorradfahrers; sie sollen den Motorradfahrer bei Stürzen, insbesondere bei Stürzen von einem fahrenden Motorrad, vor Verletzungen schützen.Motorcycle protective clothing serves in different ways the protection of the motorcyclist; they are said to be the motorcyclist in the case of falls, especially in the case of falls from one Protect your motorcycle from injury.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, Motorradschutzbekleidung an besonders gefährdeten Stellen zu verstärken, daß also in die Motorradschutzbekleidung Wattierungen oder andere schützende Materialien aus biegsamen oder harten Materialien, beispielsweise aus Elastomeren eingesetzt werden. Diese sind dabei entweder dauerhaft mit der Motorradschutzbekleidung verbunden, oder befinden sich in Taschen der Schutzbekleidung. Eine weitere Möglichkeit des Schutzes für Motorradfahrer gegen Schlageinwirkungen besteht darin, daß sich zwischen der Schutzbekleidung und dem Körper des Motorradfahrers Protektoren befinden, die einen flächigen Schutz des Körpers ergeben. Solche Protektoren werden dabei entweder an der Motorradschutzbekleidung, beispielsweise mit einem Klettverschluß, oder am Körper des Motorradfahrers, beispielsweise mit Gurten, befestigt. It is known from the prior art, motorcycle protective clothing in particularly vulnerable places reinforce that in the motorcycle protective clothing Padding or other protective materials flexible or hard materials, for example Elastomers are used. These are either permanently connected to motorcycle protective clothing, or are in pockets of protective clothing. A another possibility of protection for motorcyclists against Impact is that between protective clothing and the body of the motorcyclist Protectors are located, the area protection of the Body result. Such protectors are either on motorcycle protective clothing, for example with a Velcro fastener, or on the body of the motorcyclist, for example with straps attached.
Die Wirkung des Protektors besteht darin, daß bei Unfällen mit einem Aufprall des Motorradfahrers die Krafteinwirkung auf den menschlichen Körper gemildert wird.The effect of the protector is that in the event of an accident with the impact of the motorcyclist the force is alleviated on the human body.
Nachteilig bei der Verwendung von Elastomer-Protektoren ist, daß sie eine bestimmte Dicke aufweisen müssen, um ihre Dämpfungseigenschaften wirkungsvoll entfalten zu können. Dadurch wird wegen der erhöhten Materialmenge der Protektor schwer und teuer. Zudem ist der Protektor ab einer bestimmten Dicke der Elastomerschicht nicht mehr hinreichend biegefähig, so daß sich ein derartiger Protektor weniger gut an den Körper des Motorradfahrers anpaßt.Disadvantageous when using elastomer protectors is that they have to have a certain thickness in order to their damping properties unfold effectively can. This is because of the increased amount of material the protector is heavy and expensive. In addition, the protector from a certain thickness of the elastomer layer not more sufficiently flexible so that such a Protector less good on the motorcyclist's body adjusts.
Der Erfindung liegt daher das Problem zugrunde, einen Elastomer-Protektor für eine Motorradschutzbekleidung zu schaffen, dessen Aufbau, Gewicht und Anpassungsvermögen optimal ist.The invention is therefore based on the problem of a Elastomer protector for motorcycle protective clothing too create its structure, weight and adaptability is optimal.
Nach der Erfindung wird das durch einen Protektor erreicht, bei dem eine Basis mit Erhebungen und/oder Vertiefungen, vorzugsweise Noppen versehen ist. Eine derartige Struktur erlaubt eine verhältnismäßig dicke Elastomerschicht bei verhältnismäßig geringem Materialaufwand und geringer Beeinträchtigung der Bewegungsfreiheit, obgleich die dämpfende Wirkung eines Protektors aus Vollmaterial nahezu erhalten bleibt. Insbesondere ergibt sich im Vergleich zu einem Protektor aus Vollmateril aufgrund der Noppenstruktur eine bessere Verformbarkeit des Protektors, der sich somit dem Körper besser anpaßt. Ist aufgrund der Anpassung an den Körper der Protektor in einem Bereich gekrümmt, so liegen in diesem Bereich die Noppen dichter beieinander und bilden im Extremfall eine nahezu geschlossene Fläche.According to the invention this is achieved by a protector with a base with surveys and / or deepening, preferably pimples is provided. Such Structure allows a relatively thick layer of elastomer with a relatively low cost of materials and little impairment of freedom of movement, although the cushioning effect of a protector almost completely preserved from solid material. Especially results in comparison to a protector made of solid material better deformability due to the nub structure of the protector, which is better for the body adjusts. Is due to the adaptation to the body Protector curved in one area, so lie in this Area the knobs closer together and form in the In extreme cases, an almost closed area.
Sind weiterhin die Noppen reihenweise gegeneinander versetzt, d.h. auf Lücke angeordnet, so ergibt sich einerseits eine regelmäßige Anordnung der Noppen und andererseits eine dichte Anordnung der Noppen. Für spezielle Anwendungen kann das Raster zonenweise unterschiedlich sein, so daß verschiedene Bereiche des Protektors unterschiedlichen Körperpartien angepaßt sind.If the knobs are still staggered in rows, i.e. arranged on a gap, this results on the one hand a regular arrangement of the knobs and on the other hand a tight arrangement of the knobs. For special Applications, the grid can differ zone by zone be so that different areas of the protector are different Body parts are adjusted.
Die Höhe der Noppen macht beispielsweise mehr als 70% der Dicke des Protektors aus. So kann die Basis 1,5 bis 2,5 mm dick sein, während die Höhe der Noppen 4,5 bis 12,5 mm beträgt. Die Gesamthöhe beträgt vorzugsweise 5 bis 12 mm.The height of the knobs, for example, makes up more than 70% the thickness of the protector. So the base can be 1.5 to 2.5 mm thick, while the height of the knobs 4.5 to Is 12.5 mm. The total height is preferably 5 up to 12 mm.
Die Noppen können zylindrisch oder kegelstumpfförmig ausgebildet sein, oder sie besitzen eine abgerundete Oberfläche. In bevorzugter Weise besitzen die Noppen einen Durchmesser von weniger als 1 cm und insbesondere von 6 mm.The knobs can be cylindrical or frustoconical be trained, or they have a rounded Surface. The knobs preferably have one Diameter less than 1 cm and in particular of 6 mm.
An die Stelle der Noppen können auch andere Erhebungen treten. Eine ähnliche, wenngleich nicht so gute Wirkung, ergibt sich, wenn der Protektor mit Rippen, Rillen oder anderen Vertiefungen versehen ist. Je nach Art der Erhebungen und/oder Vertiefungen ergibt sich eine unterschiedliche Ersparnis an Gewicht und Kosten. Other bumps can also be used instead of the knobs to step. A similar, if not so good effect, arises if the protector with ribs, grooves or other depressions. Depending on the type of surveys and / or recesses results in a different Savings in weight and costs.
Der erfindungsgemäße Protektor besteht vorzugsweise aus Polynarbonen, einem beispielsweise unter der Bezeichnung "Astrosorb" von der Firma Astron, Wien, erhältlichen Elastomer, oder Silikon.The protector according to the invention preferably consists of Polynarbonen, for example under the name "Astrosorb" available from Astron, Vienna Elastomer, or silicone.

Der Durchmesser der Noppen beträgt vorzugsweise 6 mm, und die Abstände des Rasters variieren je nach Richtung von 1 bis 3 mm. Andere Abstände und Durchmesser sind ohne weiteres möglich, insbesondere wenn unterschiedliche Anforderungen an die Schutzwirkung des Protektors gestellt werden. The diameter of the knobs is preferably 6 mm, and the grid spacing varies depending on the direction from 1 to 3 mm. Other distances and diameters are without further possible, especially if different Requirements placed on the protective effect of the protector will.

die Noppen 2 zu einer Verringerung des für die Herstellung
des Protektors notwendigen Materialaufwandes. Durch

Die Schutzwirkung ist somit gerade bei gewölbten Körperteilen
optimal. Darüber hinaus sind die Beweglichkeit
