Abstract

The invention relates to a device for stabilizing body joints and/or for supporting items of sports equipment. The device comprises a receiving area, said receiving area being filled with a fluid; an active body for interacting with the fluid, said active body being movably mounted in the receiving area; and a force transmission element for transmitting external forces to the interior of the receiving area. The force transmission element extends at least partly through the receiving area and can be moved relative to the receiving area, and the active body is mounted on a first end of the force transmission element. The receiving area has an opening through which the force transmission element extends from outside into the interior of the receiving area, and an attachment element for introducing an external force into the device is mounted on a second end of the force transmission element outside of the receiving area. A flexible chamber adjoins the receiving area in the region of the opening, said flexible chamber extending between the opening and the attachment element, and the force transmission element portion protruding out of the receiving area extends through the flexible chamber. The flexible chamber is fluidically connected to the receiving area via the opening, and the flexible chamber is configured such that when the attachment element moves relative to the receiving area, the flexible chamber is stretched or compressed. The attachment element closes off the flexible chamber, at a first end, from the surroundings in a fluid-tight manner, and the attachment element is characterized by being divided into two parts, wherein a first part has a receiving region, in particular a seat, for the second end of the force transmission element, in particular for receiving the second end of the force transmission element in a force-fitting manner, and a second part which is configured to close the receiving region, in particular in the manner of a cover.

at least one bearing region (20, 21) over the malleolus (114) of the
ankle joint, and wherein the at least one bearing fixture (22) is
designed to fix the position of the at least one bearing region (20, 21)
in a state when applied to the lower leg (112). The present
invention moreover relates to a shoe (80) for damping a foot movement
via the ankle joint, comprising a sole (82), an upper, and the
aforementioned foot movement damper (1).

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for stabilizing body joints and/or for supporting items of sports equipment, comprising: a receptacle (20), wherein the receptacle (20) is filled with a filling medium (30), a first body (40) for interacting with the filling medium (30), wherein the first body is displaceably arranged in the receptacle, a force transmission body (50) for transmitting an external force to the first body (40), a second body (60) for interacting with the filling medium (30), which is displaceably arranged in the receptacle (20), wherein the second body is elastically coupled to the first body (40) via a coupling element (70), wherein the second body (60) and/or the first body (40) has at least one passage opening (64), through which the filling medium (30) can flow, and wherein the first body (40) forms a valve body and the second body (60) forms a valve seat, such that a flow of the filling medium (30) through the passage opening (64) can be permitted or inhibited as a function of the valve position, wherein, in a displacement direction relative to the first body, the second body overlaps therewith.
