    DESCRIPTION
    NECK PROTECTOR
    Field of the Invention
    The present invention is encompassed in the field of sports protectors. Specifically, the invention relates to a neck protector to protect from wounds caused by rubbing wetsuits.
    State of the art
    During the practice of sports in the sea such as swimming, surfing, paddle surfing, jet skiing, open water diving, special wetsuits are usually used for the practice of such sports, to protect the body from both the water temperature and jellyfish stings
    These suits, due to the salinity of the water and the constant movement of the neck during breathing in swimming or movement of the neck and body in other disciplines such as surfing or scuba diving, among others, and how tight they go to the body Regardless of the quality of the materials, they often cause injuries and burns in athletes. Wounds that are very annoying and take several weeks to heal. These wounds can be produced by both economic costumes and the most developed of leading brands, and in all skin types although they abound more in sensitive skin.
    At present there is no effective product to avoid such injuries or chafing. Athletes use medical petroleum jelly, strips, tape and other remedies, but none of them ensures that the wound cannot appear.
    Medicinal petroleum jelly, as you exercise, loses effectiveness with the rubbing of the suit and neck movement, especially if the sport is practiced for a long time. The adhesive strips used (tape, Kinesio-tapes, strips, ...) with the rubbing of the neck, sea water and salt, quickly disengage losing all its usefulness.
    Description of the invention
    To avoid this problem, a neck or collar-shaped neck protector has been developed, which has the function of creating a layer between the rubbing element, the suit, and the skin

    A basic embodiment of the invention is defined in claim 1. The dependent claims define additional features of the invention.
    Description of the figures

    The numerical references of the elements of the invention are indicated below: Neck protector (12)
    Skin Face (1)
    Skin (10)
    Costume face (2)
    Water suit (20)
    Tongue (3)
    Reinforced portion (4)
    Thickening (5)
    Detailed description of the invention
    The neck protector (12) of the invention is shaped like a tube or collarm and can have a tongue (3) on the back. The neck protector (12) is shaped to create a layer between the skin (10) of a user and the wearer's suit (20). This intermediate layer that constitutes the neck protector (12), prevents chafing and other discomfort caused by the suit (20) in people who do not use the protector.
    Neoprene suits (20) used in water sports usually have the zipper on the back, and the end of the closure on the upper back, the closest to the neck. The closure of this type of suits (20) usually comprises a zipper, a ribbon that is usually incorporated in the opening / closing cursor of the zipper to help the opening / closing of the zipper, and a velcro to cover the zipper and Avoid letting go or going down during sport. All these components make this area especially prone to cause wounds in the wearer's neck (20). That is, it is an area with a high risk of chafing. Therefore, an embodiment of the invention includes a tongue-shaped extension (3) in the tube or collarm. The extension in form

    of tongue (3) extends the protection of the tube or collar in this risk zone.
    Neck wounds occur in areas where there is more skin torsion, usually on the two sides between the spine and the lower part of the ear or in the parts of the neck below the ears. To improve protection in these areas, the neck protector can be reinforced with thicker (extra 2mm) in a reinforced portion (4), configured to be placed in these areas, which can be seen in the figure
    2. This thickening (5) improves the already described properties of friction separated from both surfaces, the skin (10) and the suit (20), in the areas of greatest risk of friction injury.
    The neck protector (12) of the invention comprises an elastic TPE polymer (ThermoPlastic Elastomer) to which a percentage of petrolatum has been added in its formulation. Petrolatum is a homogeneous mixture of saturated long-chain hydrocarbons. By adding petroleum jelly to the TPE base formulation, the friction coefficient of the neck protector surface (12) is substantially reduced, achieving less friction between the skin (10) and the neck protector (12). This reduction in friction improves the behavior of the product, making it more comfortable for the user, and increasing protection by reducing friction / friction caused by skin wounds or abrasions (10).
    The great elasticity of the material with a proven elongation greater than 300%, allows a perfect adaptation to the neck without causing pressure or choking sensation. The petroleum jelly incorporated in the formulation of the neck protector (12), reduces the friction of the material in the contact with the neck, improving the results of the TPE without petroleum jelly. The TPE also has the capacity to withstand without breaking or deforming before the application of forces parallel to the support surface (shear forces) and ability to disperse the pressure before the application of compression forces from a suit face (2) towards a skin face (1), avoiding excessive compression of the material that implies a transmission of the compression forces to the skin (10) of the user, beyond the permissible limit. The TPE material has the ability to disperse the pressure exerted at one point, in several directions, but without bottoming out, dispersing the pressure over a larger area and reducing the pressure at a particular point.
    The composition of the neck protector (12) also allows it to be washable, reusable and

    In one embodiment of the invention, the protector has a minimum thickness of 4mm, which allows the perfect separation between the neck and the wetsuit, protecting the skin. The minimum thickness of 4mm of TPE polymer is thick enough to make the two sides of the neck protector (12), the skin face (1) and the suit face (2), illustrated in Figure 1, move in an independent way. This effect is the main protector of the skin (10), by getting the neck protector face (12) in contact with the skin (10), the skin face (1), to move with the skin (10) , while the face of the protector in contact with the suit, the face of the suit (2), moves with the suit (20); This movement of the neck protector (12) is a shear movement that manages to absorb the friction between skin (10) and suit (20), thus preventing the appearance of the wound.
    One aspect of the invention relates to a collar protector in the form of a collar, configured to be used in water sports comprising:
    the) a first elastic material;
    lb) a second material configured to reduce friction with the neck; where:
    lc) the neck protector is configured to be sandwiched between the neck and a water suit (20).
    According to other features of the invention:
    2. The first material can be TPE.
    3. The second material can be petroleum jelly. The percentage of petroleum jelly in the composition of the protector allows to reduce the friction of the protector with the skin (10) and the aquatic suit (20).
    4. The first material may have an elasticity greater than 300%;
    5. The neck protector may have a thickness configured to allow shear movement between a skin face (1), configured to be in contact with the skin (10) of a user and a suit face (2), opposite to the skin face (1), configured to be in contact with the water suit (20), so that there is no slippage between the skin (10) and the skin face (1) during use of the protector.
    6. The neck protector may have a thickness configured to allow a dispersion of
    pressure from a compression force from a suit face (2) to a skin face (1), avoiding excessive compression of the protector that implies a transmission of the compression force to the skin (1) of the user.
    5 7. The neck protector can have a minimum thickness of 4mm.
    8. The neck protector may comprise a tongue (3) configured to be faced with a zipper (21) of a water suit (20). Usually, the zipper (21) of the water suits (20) is in the area of the user's back. Since the function
    10 of the tongue (3) is to extend the protection of the skin (10) of the wearer towards the closing area of the suit (20), an embodiment of the neck protector carries the tongue (3) at the rear
    9. The neck protector may comprise a reinforced portion (4) that has a thickening (5) to ensure greater protection in an area of greater friction.

    10. The thickening (5) can comprise two zones configured to be located on an area of the neck between the spine and an area inferior to the ears.
