Abstract: A protective device, in particular a shin guard, includes one or more stacked layers that are coupled together and define a first face for contacting the body of a user and an opposite second face for facing outward, with elements engaging the protective device with an anatomical zone. At least one layer is made of a polymeric gel having an elasticity sufficient to return to the initial condition after a deformation caused by an impact, or alternatively of an expanded plastic material that is deformable and elastically compressible. The first face has a three-dimensional conformation, with the areas of contact with the user's body projecting outwards toward the user's body to a greater extent than other areas that are recessed, the recessed areas being interposed between the protruding areas and failing to come in contact with the user's body in the absence of deformations caused by an impact.

Abstract: A sock includes a foot part and a leg part extending up to below the knee and has, in one or more areas of its surface extension, one or more structural modification elements of a layer of mesh forming the wall of the sock. Those structural modification elements may be printed, for example, screen-printed, intertwined, and/or incorporated in the structure of the mesh, and are configured to respect the functionality of the leg and foot according to biomechanical, circulatory and neurological aspects to harmonize those effects with each other and obtain therapeutic, preventive and performance-enhancing efficacy. Two embodiments are specifically configured for activities that require rapid changes of direction, such as football, rugby, basketball, tennis, or paddle, and for activities that require the transmission of intense thrusts such as cycling or golf.

Abstract: A sock or similar garment includes a foot part and a leg part, the foot part being designed to overlap the foot of a user and the leg part being designed to overlap at least part of the leg up to below the knee. Optionally, the foot part is closed by a toe part. The sock has, in one or more areas of its surface extension, one or more structural modification elements of at least one layer of the knitting that forms the wall of the stock. Those modification elements may be applied with different techniques, for example, printed with silk-screen, or incorporated or intertwined into or on the structure of the sock's mesh, and are configured to enhance the functionality of the leg and foot according to biomechanical, circulatory and neurological aspects, harmonizing those effects with each other, obtaining therapeutic efficacy and providing prevention and performance enhancement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sock (1), suitable for being worn in the performance of gymnastic activities, in gym or in aquatic environments. The sock (1) comprises a plantar surface (4) restable on walking surfaces, a first bay (2) containing the user's big toe and at least one second bay (3) containing the remaining toes of the user. The sock (1) further comprises anti-slipping means positioned on the plantar surface (4) for reducing the slipping risk of the user on the walking surfaces and comprising at least one anti-slipping island (5), which occupies a partial surface smaller than the total plantar surface (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a garment, such as a sock, a short sock, an ankle sock having a fabric portion suitable to be worn on a body part, such as a limb, and at least one silicone band on an area of said fabric portion, such as having an anti-slip function, wherein a plurality of transpiring through openings is formed in said silicone band.

Abstract: The invention concerns an item (4), comprising a tubular body (13), specifically a fabric item (4), specifically a stocking, a sock, tights, a knee-length sock, a glove and similar, having silicone inserts (2) printed by serigraphy and a process for printing silicone inserts (2) by serigraphy to produce said item (4).
