  The spine protection unit 120 is positioned at the center of the waist support unit 100 and is arranged to prevent the molded support 400 from directly pressing the spine when the user wears the waist protector 1000. That is, the spine protection part 120 is provided between the main body parts 110 with a predetermined width. In other words, the spine protection unit 120 is positioned on the vertical line from the center upper part to the lower part of the lumbar support part 100 to prevent the formed support 400 from coming into direct contact with the spine and causing pain.

  The spine protection part 120 may be made of the same material as the main body part 110.

  The outer surface of the main body 110 is provided with a support cover 130 that forms a support insertion space 131. Such a support cover part 130 is provided on each side of the spine protection part 120. At this time, the one side peripheral portion and the lower peripheral portion of the support cover portion 130 connected to the spine protection portion 120 are sewn and connected to the main body portion 110, and the support cover portion 130 is firmly connected to the main body portion 110. Can be done.

  In addition, a third coupling member 140 that can be attached to and detached from the main body 110 is provided on the other peripheral portion on the other side of the support cover 130. Here, the third coupling member 140 may have a velcro (registered trademark) configuration. For example, a third hook portion 141 may be provided on the other peripheral portion of the support cover portion 130, and a third hook portion coupled to the third hook portion 141 of the support cover portion 130 may be provided on the main body portion 110. 142 is provided, and the other peripheral portion on the other side of the support cover 130 can be attached to and detached from the main body 110. At this time, the third coupling member 140 may be provided with the third hook 142 on the support cover 130 and the third flange 141 on the main body 110.

  Thus, the molded support 400 is easily inserted into the support insertion space 131 by providing the third coupling member 140 that can be attached to and detached from the main body 110 at the other peripheral portion of the support cover 130. be able to. That is, when the user inserts the molding support 400 into the support insertion space 131, the user supports the molding support 400 with the other peripheral portion of the support cover 130 separated from the main body 110. After the insertion space portion 131 is inserted, the peripheral portion of the support cover portion 130 only needs to be attached to the main body portion 110 again, so that the molding support body 400 can be easily inserted and the molding support body 400 is prevented from being detached. can do.

  At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is described that the third coupling member 140 is provided only in the peripheral portion on the other side of the support body cover portion 130, but the third coupling member 140 is provided on the support body cover portion 130. Further, the upper peripheral portion may be provided. Such a support cover portion 130 can also be made of the same material as the main body portion 110.

  On the other hand, the molding support 400 supports the user's waist while being inserted into the support insertion space 131.

  Such a molding support 400 is molded into a shape corresponding to the user's waist part that is pressurized when the waist support part 100 wraps and presses the waist of the user with the outer waist band 300 and the inner waist band 200. Cured in a cured state. That is, when the user uses the waist protector 1000 for the first time, the user can change the shape support 400 to be changed and hardened in accordance with his / her body shape within a predetermined time only once.

  Such a molding support 400 can be made of a fiber material impregnated with water-curable polyurethane. Accordingly, the molded support 400 is cured after a predetermined period of time with moisture in contact with the molded support 400.

  In other words, a user who wears the waist protector 1000 for the first time has a support insertion space part formed on the outer surface of the waist support part 100 with the molded support body 400 supplied with moisture in a state where moisture is supplied to the molding support body 400. If the outer waist band 300 and the inner waist band 200 are combined in accordance with the user's body shape after being inserted into 131, the molded support body 400 is changed in shape according to the user's body shape and cured.

  As described above, the molded support body 400 supports both sides of the spine in a state of being molded into a shape corresponding to the bending of the user's body, and thus is effective in treating the user's lower back. In this case, the molded support 400 is inserted into the support insertion space portions 131 arranged on both sides of the spine protection unit 120, and the molded support 400 does not pressurize the spine directly, and the both sides of the spine.

As described above, when calcium hydroxide is further contained in the molding support 400, the calcium hydroxide can form water voluntarily from the reaction with carbon dioxide, so that the molding support 400 can be formed even with a small amount of moisture. Can be cured. Further, since carbon dioxide generated by the reaction between moisture and the water-curable polyurethane prepolymer can act as an initiator, the time for curing to the inside of the molded support 400 can be shortened.

  The molding support 400 can be made of various colors such as white, black, and blue.

  On the other hand, the outer waist band 300 is formed in a pair and is connected to both sides of the waist support part 100. In addition, the first coupling member 330 is provided at the end of each outer waist band 300, and the pair of outer waist bands 300 can be coupled in a state of covering the user's waist.

  The outer waist band 300 may include an extension wing portion 310 and a fixing portion 320.

  One side of the extension wing 310 is connected to the waist support 100. Such an extended wing 310 is located on the side of the waist when the outer waist band 300 wraps around the user's waist.

  The extension wing 310 is formed so as to be elastically deformed when the waist support part 100 and the fixing part 320 are connected. That is, the extension wing portion 310 is made of neoprene having a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, and is formed so as to be able to be selectively elastically deformed according to the body shape of the user by improving the adhesion of the body.

  The fixing part 320 is formed to be connected to the other side part of the extension wing part 310. Such a fixing part 320 is located on the user's abdomen when the outer waist band 300 wraps around the user's waist.

  In addition, the fixing portion 320 includes a first coupling member 330, and the pair of outer waist bands 300 are detachably formed.

  Here, the first coupling member 330 may have a Velcro (registered trademark) form like the third coupling member 140 described above. For example, referring to the drawings shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a semicircular first flange portion 331 is provided at the inner surface end of the fixing portion 320 located on the left side, and the fixing portion 320 located on the right side is provided. A first hanging portion 332 may be provided along the length direction of the fixing portion 320 at the center of the outer surface. Accordingly, the pair of outer waist bands 300 can be combined in a state of wrapping the user's waist.

  A hard plate 321 is provided inside the fixing unit 320. The hard plate 321 is formed to be positioned on the user's abdomen and support the front of the user's waist when the pair of outer waist bands 300 are joined. Such a hard plate 321 is provided inside the fixing part 320 located on the left side and inside the fixing part 320 located on the right side, and when the pair of fixing parts 320 are joined by Velcro (registered trademark), 2 The two hard plates 321 are formed to overlap each other. Therefore, the front part of the user's waist can be firmly supported by the hard plate 321 provided in the fixed part 320.

  Thus, the molded support 400 of the waist protector 1000 supports the back part of the user's waist, and the hard plate 321 supports the front part of the user's waist, so that the user wearing the waist protector 1000 can The correct posture can be maintained. Here, like the main body part 110, the fixing part 320 may be formed with a first mesh raw material and a second mesh raw material.

  Meanwhile, the outer waist band 300 may further include a first support bar 301 and a second support bar 302. The first support bar 301 is provided at a connection part between the waist support part 100 and the extension wing part 310 and is formed to have a length corresponding to the length of the part where the waist support part 100 and the extension wing part 310 are connected.

  Such first support bar 301 and second support bar 302 not only maintain the shape of the waist protector 1000 but also enhance the support force of the spine and waist of the user wearing the waist protector 1000. The first support bar 301 and the second support bar 302 may be formed of a soft plastic material.

  Meanwhile, the inner waist band 200 is provided inside the outer waist band 300.

  The inner waist band 200 is paired with the outer waist band 300, and one side portion of the inner waist band 200 is connected to the waist support portion 100. That is, the inner waist band 200 formed in a pair is provided on each side of the waist support part 100.

  In addition, a second coupling member 210 is provided on the other side of the inner waist band 200, and the pair of inner waist bands 200 are detachable. Here, since the second coupling member 210 has the same configuration as the first coupling member 330 or the third coupling member 140 described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Thus, the inner waist band 200 is formed so as to wrap the user's waist together with the outer waist band 300. That is, when the user wears the waist protector 1000, the inner waist band 200 is primarily fixed to the waist, and then the outer waist band 300 is secondarily fixed to the waist covering the inner waist band 200. .

  The inner waist band 200 is formed of a stretchable soft material. That is, the inner waist band 200 may be formed of a spandex material that has excellent stretchability, is thin, and has good air permeability.

  Thus, the inner waist band 200 is formed of a stretchable material, so that the user pulls the inner waist band 200 with a predetermined force or more between the user's body and the inner waist band 200. Adhesion can be maximized.

  Therefore, the molding support 400 accommodated in the support insertion space 131 can be cured in a state of being molded according to the body shape of the user.

  Further, a slip prevention protrusion 220 is provided on the inner side surface of the inner waist band 200. A plurality of the anti-slip protrusions 220 are provided at predetermined intervals, so that the user can be prevented from twisting or sliding when wearing the inner waist band 200.

  As an example, waist protectors are typically worn on clothes such as thin tee shirts. At this time, the conventional waist protector has the inconvenience that the waist protector turns or slips as time passes after wearing and must be worn again. Therefore, there is a case where a shoulder strap or a tightening belt for preventing the waist protector from slipping down is attached to the waist protector, but there is a problem that the waist protector is not simple.

  However, the waist protector 1000 according to the present invention is provided with the anti-slip protrusions 220 on the inner waist band 200, so that the problem of the waist protector 1000 turning or slipping does not occur even after a long time due to increased frictional force with the clothes. . Therefore, it can be worn for a long time. Since the waist protector 1000 does not require a separate shoulder strap or tightening belt, the structure of the waist protector 1000 is simple.

Increase power. Further, the outer waist band 300 is provided with a hard plate 321, and the front part of the user's waist can be firmly supported by the hard plate 321. (S500)
The shaped support 400 is then cured to the user's body shape to support both sides of the user's spine. Here, the molding support 400 is cured in a process in which the user holds a predetermined posture for a predetermined time while wearing the waist protector 1000. For example, the user can cure the molded support 400 while lying on the bottom so that the ceiling is faced up. Alternatively, the user can harden the molded support 400 in a form in which the user pushes the 4th and 5th parts of the hips while holding them straight with both hands. In this case, the user is more effective in reducing back pain and straight posture. (S600)
