Metatarsal protection for safety footwear
It is constituted on the basis of a tongue ( 1 ) which is conveniently attached to the boot, which is divided into a number of sectors ( 3 ), in which are some receptacles ( 5 ) which hold sheets ( 6 ) of material resistant to impact and ductile in order to facilitate the adaptation thereof to the form of the boot when closed. The sectors ( 3 ) are delimited by some lines of stitching ( 4 ) which facilitate the relative inclination between sectors ( 3 ) and therefore the articulation of the tongue ( 1 ) when the boot is flexed achieving greater user comfort.
1. A metatarsal protector for safety footwear having a form, comprising:
a tongue divided into a plurality of sectors, each sector defining a receptacle;
a plurality of impact-resistant elements, each element in a receptacle, the elements having ductility to facilitate the metatarsal protector adapting to the form of the safety footwear; and
a stitching line delimiting the sectors to further facilitate the metatarsal protector adapting to the form of the safety footwear.
2. The metatarsal protector for safety footwear according to claim 1 , wherein the impact-resistant elements further include padding.
3. The metatarsal protector for safety footwear according to claim 1 , wherein the sectors extend transversally across the tongue and are spaced from one another.
