Specific details of other embodiments are included in the detailed description and drawings.

Advantages and features of the present invention, and methods for achieving them will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described below in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but will be implemented in various forms, and only the present embodiments are intended to complete the disclosure of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is provided to fully inform the scope of the invention, and the invention is defined only by the scope of the claims.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail for the ear sports earplugs according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the ear sports earplug according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a plan view showing a plane of the ear sports earplug according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

The ear sports earplug according to the first embodiment of the present invention is detachable to a leisure sport helmet (H), and includes an ear cover 10, a connection member 21, and a detachable member 30.

Ear cover 10 is formed in a circular shape as a whole so as to cover the user's ears, the center of the inner surface is formed concave inward to accommodate the user's ears. And the front side of the inner edge of the ear cover 10 is attached to the user's ears around the adhesive portion 11 is formed so that the front side of the ear cover 10 can be fixed, the insertion hole penetrating inward at the upper end of the outer surface (12) is formed.

In addition, the outer surface of the ear cover 10 is formed to be inclined upward toward the rear side, a plurality of projections 13 are formed on the outer surface and the air passage 14 is formed between the projections (13). As a result, the outside air contacting the outer surface of the ear cover 10 may be quickly passed between the air passages 14, thereby reducing the air resistance.

The ear cover 10 is formed of a flexible material such as silicon and can be easily bonded around the user's ear by the adhesive portion 11, the rear side of the adhesive portion 11 in the state bonded around the user's ear Lightly adhered to the user's ear is maintained, it is possible to recognize the surrounding sounds.

The connection member 21 is formed in a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the lower end is inserted into and fixed to the insertion hole 12 of the ear cover 10 and fixed to the ear cover 10.

Detachable member 30 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting member 21 is provided to detach the ear cover 10 and the connecting member 21 to the left and right of the helmet (H), U-shaped clip having elasticity ( 31) but the left and right of the U-shaped clip 31 is formed to narrow the gap between the upper side to be elastically fastened when fastened to the helmet (H).

Hereinafter, the characteristics and advantages of the leisure sports earplug 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with a focus on the use state.

Leisure sports earplug 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is to fasten to the helmet (H) worn for leisure sports such as bicycles, inline skates, etc. to block the wind sound transmitted to the user, the removable member 30, the U-shaped clip 31 is fastened to the left and right sides of the helmet H as shown in FIG. 3, and the ear cover 10 is positioned to correspond to the user's ear. And attaching the adhesive portion 11 of the inner front side of the ear cover 10 around the front side of the user's ear so that the ear cover 10 covers the user's ear as shown in FIG. At this time, only the front side of the ear cover 10 is attached around the user's ear and the rear side of the ear cover 10 is kept in light contact with the user's back lightly.

As such, when the user wears a helmet H and rides a bicycle or an in-line skate with the ear sports earplug 1 attached around the ear, the wind hits the front and ears of the user's face by galloping. At this time, the wind toward both ears of the user hits the outer surface of the ear cover 10, the wind hitting the outer surface of the ear cover 10 passes between the air passage 14 formed on the outer surface of the ear cover 10. It is quickly passed to the rear side of the ear cover 10 along the outer surface of the ear cover 10 inclined in the outward direction.

In this process, the user is covered with the ears by the ear cover 10, so that the wind sound is not directly transmitted to the ears, thereby preventing the noise transmitted to the ears by the wind.

In addition, when the user wears an earphone to the ear while riding a bicycle or an in-line skate, the music output from the earphone is not mixed with the noise caused by the wind, so that the user can only listen to the music without the noise caused by the wind while riding the bicycle.
