FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an expanded view of a hip joint 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The structure of the hip joint protector 100 of FIG. 1 is only for illustrating the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, the structure of the hip joint protector 100 can be modified in other forms.

1, the hip joint protector 100 includes a base portion 10, a hip joint protecting portion 20, a hip protector 30, a waist protector 40, and a fastening portion 50. As shown in Fig. In addition, if desired, the hip joint protector 100 may further include other components.

First, the base portion 10 seats the hip joint protecting portion 20, the hip protecting portion 30, the waist protecting portion 40, and the fastening portion 50. Therefore, the hip joint protecting portion 20, the hip protecting portion 30, the waist protecting portion 40, and the fastening portion 50 are all located on the base portion 10.

The buttocks protecting portion 30 is located corresponding to the buttocks. Since the hip protector 30 is manufactured in the form of a memory foam, when the hip joint protector 100 is worn on the hip, the hip can be protected from an external impact due to a fall. As a result, it is possible to prevent accidents such as breakage of the hip bone. In addition, memory foam can produce hip hip-up effects.

The hip joint protector 20 is located on both sides of the hip protector 30 so as to be spaced apart from the hip protector 30. When the hip joint protector 100 is worn on the hip, the hip joint protector 20 is positioned to cover the hip joint, so that the hip joint can be protected from an external impact. Further, since the hip joint protecting part 20 is located apart from the hips protecting part 30, the wearer feels better when the hinge protector 100 is worn on the buttocks. The hip joint protecting portion 20 includes mutually spaced hip joint protecting cushions 201. The external impact applied to the hip joint can be effectively reduced through the hip joint protecting cushions 201. In particular, since the shape of the hinges-protecting cushions 201 is similar to that of the hip joints, they flow according to the physical activity, so that the hip joint can be efficiently protected and the fit of the hip joint protector 100 can be enhanced.

The waist protector 40 is connected to the hip protector 30. When the hip joint protector 100 is worn on the hip, the waist protector 40 is located corresponding to the waist, so that the waist connected to the hip is prevented from being damaged by the external impact.

On the other hand, the fastening portions 50 are positioned on both sides of the base portion 10, and are hermetically coupled while overlapping the hips. Therefore, the hip joint protector 100 can be stably attached to the hip without flowing down. Hereinafter, the detailed structure of the hip joint protector 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. FIG.

Fig. 2 schematically shows the side structure of the hip joint protector 100 of Fig. The side structure of the hip joint protector 100 of FIG. 2 is merely for illustrating the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, the side structure of the hip joint protector 100 can be modified in other forms.

2, the hip joint protection cushions 201 included in the hip joint protector 20 include inner hip joint protector type cushions 2011 and outer hip joint protector type cushions 2013. As shown in FIG. Here, the outer hip joint protection cushions 2013 surround the inner hip joint protection cushions 2011. Accordingly, when the external impact is concentrated on the inner hip joint protection cushions 2011, the external impact can be dispersed by the outer hip joint protection cushions 2013 to alleviate the external impact applied to the hip joint. In addition, when an external impact is applied to the inner hip joint protecting cushions 2011 and the outer hip joint protecting cushions 2013 together, they can be moved to the spaced spaces to alleviate the external impact.

Most hip cushions 201 have a relatively curved shape. That is, the hip joint protection cushions 201 are formed in a curved shape to prevent the hip joint protector 100 from overlapping or lifting when the legs are bent.

Fig. 3 conceptually shows the use state of the hip joint protecting portion 20 of Fig. As shown in Fig. 3, the hip joint protector 20 shown in Fig. 2 is moved in the direction of the arrow, so that the hip joint protector 20 is made to correspond to the position corresponding to the hip joint of the human body and the hip joint can be protected. As shown in Fig. 3, the hip joint H connects the pelvis P and the femur F. As shown in Fig.

As shown in Fig. 3, a space S is formed at the center of the hip joint protecting portion 20. As shown in Fig. Here, the space S extends long in the direction in which the femur F is extended. The space S is surrounded by the inner hip-protected cushions 2011, and when the external impact is applied to the hip joint protector 20, Thereby protecting the portion (H). To this end, the space S communicates with the outside, ie, the lower portion in the direction in which the femur bone F extends.

Inner hip protected cushions 2011 include first inner hip joint protected cushions 2011a and second inner hip cushions 2011b. The first inside hip protection cushions 2011a are positioned surrounding the space S. In addition, the second inside hip protection cushions 2011b are located adjacent to the first inside hip cushions 2011a. Here, the curvature of the first inner hip joint protection cushion 2011a is larger than that of the second inner hip joint protection cushion 2011b. That is, the first inner hip joint protection cushion 2011a has a shape that is more curved than the second inner hip joint protection cushion 2011b. There is a possibility that the external impact is concentrated on the hip joint portion H and the hip joint portion H is damaged. Therefore, the first inside hip joint protection cushion 2011a having a compact shape corresponding to the hip joint portion H is positioned. Therefore, the external impact that can be applied to the hip joint H can be effectively mitigated.

As shown in Fig. 3, the first inner hip joint protection cushions 2011a face each other with neighboring each other. The second inner hip joint protection cushions 2011b face each other with the space S therebetween and have a shape extending in the direction in which the femur bone F extends. With this arrangement, it is possible not only to effectively disperse the external impact that may be applied to the hip joint H, but also to improve the fit of the hip joint protector 100 (shown in FIG. 1).

On the other hand, the outer hip joint protection cushions 2013 include first outer hip joint protection cushions 2013a and second outer hip joint protection cushions 2013b. The first outer hip joint protection cushions 2013a surrounds the first inner hip joint protection cushions 2011a. In addition, the second outer hip joint protection cushions 2013b surround the second outer hip joint protection cushions 2011b adjacent to the first outer hip joint protection cushions 2013a. By forming the stable cushion structure in this manner, the hip joint H can be effectively prevented from external impact. It is preferable that the curvature of the first outer hip joint protection cushion 2013a is larger than the curvature 2013b of the second outer hip joint protection cushion. That is, the first outer hip joint protection cushion 2013a has a shape that is more curved than the second outer hip joint protection cushion 2013b. The first external hip joint protection type cushion 2013a having a compact shape corresponding to the hip joint H is positioned because there is a possibility that the external impact is concentrated on the hip joint portion H and the hip joint portion H is damaged. Therefore, the external impact that can be applied to the hip joint H can be effectively mitigated.

On the other hand, the curvature of the first inside hip joint protection cushion 2011a is larger than that of the first outside hip joint protection cushion 2013a. Therefore, the space H can be surrounded more effectively by the first inner hip joint protection cushion 2011a, thereby more effectively protecting the hip joint H from external impact. Alternatively, the curvature of the second inner hip joint protective cushion 2011b may be less than the curvature of the second outer hip joint protective cushion 2013b. That is, the second inner hip joint protection cushion 2011b has a shape that is less bent than the second outer hip joint protection cushion 2013b because the second inner hip joint protection cushion 2011b is elongated along the extending direction of the femur F.

Fig. 4 schematically shows the back surface structure when the hip joint protector 100 of Fig. 1 is used. That is, the fastening portions 50 of FIG. 1 are superimposed and joined to each other to show a state in which the hip joint protector 100 is curled.

As shown in Fig. 4, the waist protector 40 is connected to the hip protector 30. Fig. The waist protector 40 includes waist protection supports 401. The waist protection supports 401 extend long toward the hip protector 30 and are spaced apart from each other. Therefore, while supporting the waist properly, it supports the body smoothly by restraining the slack. On the other hand, the hip joint protecting portion 20 is located on the side surface.

Fig. 5 schematically shows the frontal structure at the time of use of the hip joint protector 100 of Fig. That is, FIG. 5 shows the hip joint protector 100 of FIG. 4 rotated by 180 degrees.

As shown in FIG. 5, the fastening portions 50 are overlapped and joined to each other, so that the hip joint protector 100 can be stably worn on the buttocks. For this purpose, the fastening portion 50 may be formed with a velcro or the like so that the hip joint protector 100 can be easily attached and detached. On the other hand, the hip joint protecting portion 20 is located on the side surface.

The hip joint protector 100 can be molded and integrally molded. That is, it is possible to produce an integral type of hip joint protector 100 by applying pressure to the fiber or resin material while applying heat. In other words, since the fabric is seamlessly coupled, there is no problem such as tearing of the hip joint protector 100, the durability of the hip joint protector 100 is excellent, and it is possible to escape the pressing of the fabric joint portion. Meanwhile, the process of molding molding of the hip joint protector 100 can be understood by those skilled in the art. Therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, the hip joint protector 100 shown in FIG. 5 may be worn like a skirt. In other words, it can be worn by wearing different clothes while covering the hip protector, and the hip protector can be worn like clothing by combining it with clothes, so that it can be used as fashion goods by diversifying materials, colors and patterns. By combining the bands with the hip joint protector, it is possible to reduce the size restriction and improve the wearing comfort. Further, since it can be worn on the undergarment, it can separate from the skin and reduce the friction with the skin.
