Abstract

The invention relates to a textile bandage with a bandage body ( 20 ) which has an inner face, directed towards a bandage wearer, and an outer face, wherein the surface of the inner face has zones ( 30, 40, 50 ) with different marking orientations ( 33, 44, 55 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

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;
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, the first of the plurality zones configured to extend around and encircle a limb of the bandage wearer, each nap structure in the first of the plurality of zones being oriented in a first direction relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least the first direction, and a second of the plurality of zones including the second nap structures, the second of the plurality of zones configured to extend around and encircle the limb of the bandage wearer, each nap structure in the second of the plurality of zones being oriented in a second direction relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least the second direction, the first and second directions being different from each other.

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, each of the first and second zones configured to extend around and encircle a limb of the bandage wearer;
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 each of the nap structures in the first zone is oriented in the first direction, and each of the nap structures in the second zone is oriented in the second direction that is different from the first 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;
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, the first of the plurality zones configured to extend around and encircle a limb of the bandage wearer, each nap structure in the first of the plurality of zones being oriented in a first direction relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least the first direction, and a second of the plurality of zones including the second nap structures, the second of the plurality of zones configured to extend around and encircle the limb of the bandage wearer, each nap structure in the second of the plurality of zones being oriented in a second direction relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least the second direction, the first and second directions being different from each other;
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;
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, the first of the plurality zones configured to extend around and encircle a limb of the bandage wearer, each nap structure in the first of the plurality of zones being oriented in a first direction relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least the first direction, and a second of the plurality of zones including the second nap structures, the second of the plurality of zones configured to extend around and encircle the limb of the bandage wearer, each nap structure in the second of the plurality of zones being oriented in a second direction relative to the inner face to limit shifting of the textile bandage relative to the bandage wearer in at least the second direction, the first and second directions being different from each other;
wherein at least one of the first nap structures or second nap structures
