Abstract

A textile bandage with a bandage body which has an inner face, directed towards a bandage wearer, and an outer face, wherein the surface of the inner face has zones with different marking orientations.

Claims (37)

1. A textile bandage, comprising:

a bandage body which has an inner face adapted to be directed toward a bandage wearer, an outer face, a plurality of first nap structures, and a plurality of second nap structures, the plurality of first nap structures and the plurality of second nap structures providing different resistances against a shearing load depending on a direction of shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer;

wherein a surface of the inner face has a plurality of zones, a first of the plurality of the zones including the first nap structures, each nap structure in the first of the plurality of zones being oriented at a first angle relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least a first direction, and a second of the plurality of zones including the second nap structures, each nap structure in the second of the plurality of zones being oriented at a second angle relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least a second direction, the first and second angles being different from each other when measured in a common plane and the first and second nap structures are viewed in a common direction.

2. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the nap structures of each zone are configured uniformly.

3. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein areas without nap structures are formed in the plurality of zones.

4. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first nap structures or second nap structures is directed against a rotation movement.

5. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the nap structures directed against rotation have an orientation component against downward shifting or upward shifting.

6. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first nap structures or second nap structures is directed against downward shifting or upward shifting.

7. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein functional elements are arranged on the bandage body.

8. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bandage body is elastic.

9. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the textile bandage is formed as a knee-joint bandage with a recess or cutout adapted to fit an area of a patella of the bandage wearer or as an elbow bandage with a recess or cutout adapted to fit an area of an elbow of the bandage wearer.

10. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second nap structures includes nap velour arranged on the inner face of the bandage body.

11. A textile bandage, comprising:

a bandage body comprising:

an inner face directed toward a skin surface of a bandage wearer, the inner surface having at least first and second zones;

an outer face directed away from the skin surface;

a plurality of first nap structures formed on the inner face in the first zone to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the skin surface in at least a first direction;

a plurality of second nap structures formed on the inner face in the second zone to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the skin surface in at least a second direction;

wherein the plurality of first nap structures and the plurality of second nap structures provide different resistances against a shearing load depending on a direction of shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer;

wherein each of the nap structures in the first zone is oriented at a first angle relative to the inner face, and each of the nap structures in the second zone is oriented at a second angle relative to the inner face that is different from the first angle when the first and second angles are measured in a common plane and the first and second nap structures are viewed in a common direction.

12. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the nap structures of each of the first and second zones are configured uniformly.

13. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , wherein areas without nap structures are formed in the first and second zones.

14. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first nap structures or second nap structures is directed against a rotation movement of the textile bandage.

15. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the nap structures directed against a rotation movement have an orientation component against downward shifting or upward shifting.

16. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first nap structures or second nap structures is directed against downward shifting or upward shifting.

17. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising functional elements arranged on the bandage body.

18. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the bandage body is elastic.

19. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the textile bandage is formed as a knee-joint bandage with a recess or cutout in an area of a patella of the bandage wearer or as an elbow bandage with a recess or cutout in an area of an elbow of the bandage wearer.

20. The textile bandage as claimed in claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first and second nap structures includes nap velour arranged on the inner face of the bandage body.

21. A textile bandage, comprising:

a bandage body which has an inner face adapted to be directed toward a bandage wearer, an outer face, a plurality of first nap structures, and a plurality of second nap structures, the plurality of first nap structures and the plurality of second nap structures providing different resistances against a shearing load depending on a direction of shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer;

wherein a surface of the inner face has a plurality of zones, a first of the plurality of the zones including the first nap structures, each nap structure in the first of the plurality of zones being oriented at a first angle relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least a first direction, and a second of the plurality of zones including the second nap structures, each nap structure in the second of the plurality of zones being oriented at a second angle relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least a second direction, the first and second angles being different from each other when measured in a common plane and the first and second nap structures are viewed in a common direction;

wherein at least one of the first nap structures or second nap structures is directed against a rotation movement.

22. A textile bandage, comprising:

a bandage body which has an inner face adapted to be directed toward a bandage wearer, an outer face, a plurality of first nap structures, and a plurality of second nap structures, the plurality of first nap structures and the plurality of second nap structures providing different resistances against a shearing load depending on a direction of shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer;

wherein a surface of the inner face has a plurality of zones, a first of the plurality of the zones including the first nap structures, each nap structure in the first of the plurality of zones being oriented at a first angle relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least a first direction, and a second of the plurality of zones including the second nap structures, each nap structure in the second of the plurality of zones being oriented at a second angle relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least a second direction, the first and second angles being different from each other when measured in a common plane and the first and second nap structures are viewed in a common direction;

wherein at least one of the first nap structures or second nap structures is directed against downward shifting or upward shifting.
