Description

Elastic structure, assembly and human body parts for human body parts

An elastic structure, especially an elastic structure for a human body part, a combination and a human body part thereof.

Generally, common personal parts products on the market, such as helmets, protective gear for various parts, and shoes, are equipped with a foam material inside to protect the user from being hit by external forces and being injured. However, due to the soft material properties of the foam material, the cushioning and supporting capabilities of the personal parts when they are hit are limited and difficult to improve. Therefore, providing a structure that can support the cushioning and supporting capabilities of the personal parts when they are hit is an urgent goal in the current related fields.

In order to develop a structure that can support the cushioning and supporting capabilities of the human body part when it is hit, the present invention provides an elastic structure for human body parts, comprising a base and a plurality of elastic sheets formed by extending the base sheet, wherein the elastic sheets are arranged adjacent to each other, and the adjacent elastic sheets abut against each other on one side of the extension direction, wherein when the elastic structure is to be used, the elastic sheets are folded toward one side of the base, and a gap is generated between two adjacent elastic sheets.

Wherein, the elastic structure is made of composite material or metal material.

Among them, a plurality of springs extend outward with the base as a central reference.

Furthermore, the center reference of the base is circular, and the plurality of spring sheets extend radially outward.

Furthermore, the center reference of the base is a square, and the plurality of springs can be extended along two opposite sides of the base.

The base is a frame, and a plurality of the springs extend inward toward a center reference formed by the frame.

Furthermore, the base is a circular frame, the center reference is the center of a circle formed by the circular frame, and the plurality of spring sheets extend radially toward the center reference.

Furthermore, the base is a square frame, the center reference is a center line defined by the square frame, and the plurality of springs extend toward the center line on two opposite sides of the base.

The base is a square frame, the plurality of springs are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the square frame, and extend from one side of the square frame to the other side, wherein the extension directions of the adjacent springs are opposite.

The elastic structure provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

1. The elastic structure can be stored in one piece when not in use, gradually taking up less space.

2. Through the structural design of the elastic structure, the elastic structure only needs to cut the edge cut line corresponding to each elastic sheet in the sheet during production, and then fold each elastic sheet to form the elastic structure with elastic deformation ability. The structure is simple, the production method is simple and fast, and waste is gradually reduced, achieving effective use of materials.

3. The elastic structure can be placed in personal parts, such as helmets, protective gear for various parts, and shoes. Through the structure of each elastic sheet 11 being concave relative to the base, the elastic structure can withstand the impact from both sides of the base and show a supporting effect.

4. The arc angle surface formed by the concave fold of the end of the spring sheet receives the impact through the arc angle surface to prevent the spring sheet from directly responding to the impact with the end when the elastic structure is installed in a human body part and causing harm to the human body.

5. The end of the elastic sheet can also be used as a combination area to combine several elastic structures.

Please refer to Figures 1A and 2A, which are preferred embodiments of the elastic structure for personal parts provided by the present invention. The elastic structure includes a base 10 and a plurality of elastic sheets 11 formed by the sheet-shaped extension of the base 10, wherein each of the elastic sheets 11 is arranged adjacent to each other, and one side of the elastic sheet 11 in the extension direction abuts against the adjacent elastic sheet 11.

The elastic structure as a whole can be a sheet with uniform thickness, or the thickness of the base 10 can be greater than that of each elastic sheet 11 according to the requirements, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Next, please refer to Figures 1B and 2B. When the elastic structure is to be used, each of the elastic sheets 11 is folded toward one side of the base 10. At this time, gaps are generated between two adjacent elastic sheets 11 and between a free end of each elastic sheet 11 and the base 10. The base 10 and the folded elastic sheets 11 form the elastic structure with elastic deformation ability.

Among them, a plurality of spring sheets 11 are concavely folded toward one side of the base 10 at the connection with the base 10.

Among them, multiple springs 11 are all concavely folded in the same direction.

It is further defined that the two sides of the base 10 correspond to an upper portion and a lower portion respectively, at least two of the springs 11 are folded toward the upper portion to form two upper springs 11A, and the other springs 11 are folded toward the lower portion to form a lower spring 11B, wherein the two upper springs 11A are symmetrically arranged. The so-called symmetry can be mirror symmetry (line symmetry) or rotation symmetry (center symmetry).

In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the two adjacent elastic sheets 11 are respectively folded in the direction of the two sides of the base 10, that is, each upper elastic sheet 11A and each lower elastic sheet 11B are arranged alternately.

Furthermore, the elastic structure material can be selected as a composite material or metal material with rigidity. During manufacturing, after obtaining a piece of the elastic structure and setting the position of the base 10, it is only necessary to cut the side formed in the extension direction of the elastic sheet 11 as an edge cut line 112 to form a plurality of elastic sheets 11 with the sides abutting against each other. Not only is the structure simple, the manufacturing method is simple and fast, and waste is gradually reduced, achieving effective use of materials.

After the elastic structure has the elastic deformation ability, it can produce the structure that each elastic sheet 11 is concave relative to the base 10 to bear the impact from the two sides of the base 10, and show elastic characteristics according to its material rigidity. In addition, the characteristics of at least two upper elastic sheets 11A being symmetrically arranged enable the elastic structure to show a stable supporting effect when receiving impact.

Further, the end section 111 of each elastic sheet 11 is bent toward the base 10, so that the concave part of the end section 111 of the elastic sheet forms an arc surface, and the elastic sheet 11 can receive the impact through the arc surface. The elastic structure can prevent the elastic sheet 11 from directly responding to the impact with the end to produce rebound, which will cause harm to the human body due to the small contact area of the end.

As shown in the first and fourth embodiments of FIG. 1B and FIG. 3 , a plurality of springs 11 extend outward with the base 10 as a central reference. The base 10 can be a circular central reference, and the plurality of springs 11 extend radially outward (as shown in FIG. 1B ). When the base 10 is a square central reference, the plurality of springs 11 can be extended along two opposite sides of the base 10 (as shown in FIG. 4 ).

In the second and fifth embodiments provided with reference to FIG. 2B and FIG. 4 , the base 10 is a frame, and the plurality of elastic sheets 11 extend inwardly toward the center reference formed by an inner edge 10A of the frame. When the base 10 is a circular frame, the center reference is the center of a circle formed by the circular frame, and the plurality of elastic sheets 11 extend radially toward the center reference (as shown in FIG. 2B ). When the base 10 is a square frame, the center reference may be a center line defined by the square frame, and the plurality of elastic sheets 11 may be arranged on opposite sides of the base 10 extending toward the center line (as shown in FIG. 5 ).

In the third embodiment provided in reference to FIG. 5 , the base 10 is also the square frame, and the plurality of elastic sheets 11 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the inner edge 10A of the square frame, and extend from one side of the inner edge to the opposite side, wherein the adjacent elastic sheets 11 extend in opposite directions.

In the sixth embodiment provided with reference to FIG. 8 , the base 10 is a frame, and the plurality of the elastic sheets 11 are further defined as a plurality of inner elastic sheets 11E and a plurality of outer elastic sheets 11F. The inner elastic sheets 11E are arranged at the inner edge 10A of the frame, and the inner edge 10A extends inwardly toward an inner center reference formed by the frame; the outer elastic sheets 11F are arranged at an outer edge 10B of the frame, and extend outwardly from the frame. In this embodiment, when the base 10 is a circular frame, the inner center reference is the center of a circle formed by the circular frame, and the plurality of the inner elastic sheets 11E extend radially toward the center reference; and the plurality of the inner elastic sheets 11E extend radially outwardly. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, through the arrangement of a plurality of inner elastic sheets 11E and a plurality of outer elastic sheets 11F, the elastic structure can exhibit different elastic support characteristics. In particular, when the height formed by the plurality of inner elastic sheets 11E is lower than the height formed by the plurality of outer elastic sheets 11F, the plurality of outer elastic sheets 11F can first receive the impact from the two sides of the base 10 and deform, and then the plurality of inner elastic sheets 11E extending toward the inner center reference can generate support and resist the impact.

Furthermore, referring to one embodiment of the elastic structure provided in FIG. 6 when used in combination, the elastic structure can utilize the elastic sheet end section 111 structure to achieve the effect of overlapping each other from top to bottom. The two elastic structures can be pressed against each other through the elastic sheet end section 111, or can be combined with each other through buckles, clamps, and concave-convex corresponding methods to avoid displacement.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7 , the elastic structure in the second embodiment of the combination includes two first elastic structures and a second elastic structure. The first elastic structure includes a plurality of first elastic sheets 11C extending outwardly with a first base 10C as a first center reference and bending toward one side of the first base 10C relative to the first base 10C; and the second base 10D of the second elastic structure is a frame, and a plurality of second elastic sheets 11D extend inwardly toward a second center reference formed by the frame, and bend toward one side of the second base 10D relative to the second base 10D, wherein at least two symmetrically arranged second elastic sheets 11D are bent in opposite directions to the other second elastic sheets 11D. The two first elastic structures sandwich the second elastic structure in a sandwich-like structure, and the plurality of second elastic sheets 11D of the second elastic structure respectively abut against the first base 10C of the first elastic structure located on both sides.

Among them, two adjacent multiple first elastic sheets 11C are respectively folded toward the two side surfaces of the first base 10C; and two adjacent multiple second elastic sheets 11D are respectively folded toward the two side surfaces of the second base 10D.

The elastic structure provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

1. The elastic structure can be stored in one piece when not in use, gradually taking up less space.

2. Through the structural design of the elastic structure, the elastic structure only needs to cut the edge cut line 112 corresponding to each elastic sheet 11 on the sheet during production, and then fold each elastic sheet 11 to form the elastic structure with elastic deformation ability. The structure is simple, the production method is simple and fast, and waste is gradually reduced, achieving effective use of materials.

3. The elastic structure can be placed in personal parts, such as helmets, protective gear for various parts, and shoes. Through the structure of each elastic sheet 11 being concave relative to the base 10, the elastic structure can withstand the impact from both sides of the base 10 and show a supporting effect.

4. The arc angle surface formed by the concave fold of the end section 111 of the elastic sheet receives the impact through the arc angle surface to prevent the elastic sheet 11 from directly rebounding with the end corresponding to the impact and causing harm to the human body when the elastic structure is set in a human body part.

5. The elastic sheet end section 111 can also be used as a combination area to combine several elastic structures.
