The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and various modifications may be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the technical gist of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the earplugs for cold protection of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings 1 to 9.

The present invention earplugs for cold (A), as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes an earmuff part 100, a connection part 200, and a hook 400. The earplugs for cold protection (A) may include earplugs having a shape similar to headphones, and fashion earplugs having a shape similar to headphones and shaped like animal ears to attract children's attention.

The ear cover unit 100 is provided with a pair to cover both ears, respectively, and is formed to form a circle in general, but is not limited thereto. And the connecting part 200 is formed to connect the pair of earmuffs 100, for example, may be formed in a straight shape to have a predetermined length while having a width smaller than the diameter of the earmuffs 100. . In addition, the connection part 200 may be configured to have elasticity, so that the pair of earmuffs 100 are gathered by elasticity.

In addition, the earplugs (A) for cold protection according to the present invention may further include an outer shell 300 surrounding the earplug part 100 and the connection part 200 as shown in FIG. 1 . The outer shell 300 is made of a material having heat retention, and may be formed to surround the frame constituting the ear cover unit 100 and the frame constituting the connection unit 200 . As an example, the ear cover part 100 may include a ring-shaped frame and an outer shell 300 surrounding the frame, and the connection part 200 may include a frame having a predetermined width and length (hereinafter, a 'joint band'). (referred to as '210)') and the outer shell 300 surrounding the joint 210 . At this time, the outer skin 300 surrounding the ear cover 100 and the outer skin 300 surrounding the joint 210 may be integrally formed. In addition, as a specific example, the earpiece 210 is provided inside the outer shell 300 while being formed in a straight shape to have a predetermined width and length, and provides an elastic force so that the earmuffs 100 provided on both ends gather. can be configured to work.

In the present invention, in particular, the hook 400 is located inside the back cover 100 so that the user can wear the mask 10 without inconvenience when wearing the above-described earplugs (A) for cold protection and the mask 10 at the same time. provided so as to

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 8 and 9, the ear cover part 100 is a mask strap 11 for wearing the mask 10 to the back of the point where the user's ear is positioned when worn. A hook 400 that can be hung may be located on the inside. In this way, in the earplugs (A) for cold protection, the hook 400 is positioned behind the point where the user's ear is located, on the inside of the ear cover part 100 to cover the user's ear to protect it from the cold, in FIGS. 3 and 7 As shown, the mask string 11 of the mask 10 that covers the user's mouth and nose can be hung on the hook 400, and the mask string 11 is in a fixed state without being caught directly on the ear, Ear pain caused by the mask string 11 can be eliminated, and both the mask 10 and the earplugs for cold protection (A) can be worn without discomfort.

The hook 400 according to the first embodiment may be provided at the back of the point where the user's ear is positioned when worn on the inside of the ear cover 100, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the form of a clamp; It may be formed in various shapes, such as a button shape.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the hook 400 according to the second embodiment has one end coupled to the connection unit 200 and the other end positioned inside the ear cover unit 100 while having a predetermined length. can be readily provided. At this time, the other end of the hook 400 according to the second embodiment may be formed in various shapes such as a clamp shape, a button shape, etc. so that the mask string 11 is caught. This hanger 400 is formed to form a straight line as a whole and is made of a flexible material, so that the width between the other ends of both hangers 400 on which the mask string 11 is hung can be adjusted according to the size of the user's head, It is desirable to prevent the user from feeling the discomfort caused by the hook 400 when wearing the present invention. Detailed description of the hook 400 to be described below will be described on the assumption that the hook 400 according to the second embodiment.

As described above, the connection unit 200 may include a joint 210 provided on the inside of the outer shell 300 as shown in FIG. 4 , wherein the hook 400 has one end of the joint 210 . It is rotatably coupled to, and the remainder except for one end may be provided on the outside of the outer shell (300). When the user separates the mask string 11 from the hook 400 to hang the mask string 11 on the other end of the hook 400 to wear the mask 10, or to take off the mask 10, As shown in FIG. 6, the rotatable hook 400 may be rotated downward so that the other end of the hook 400 is positioned outside. Therefore, the user hangs the mask string 11 on the other end of the hook 400 located outside, or separates the mask string 11 from the hook 400 by holding the mask string 11 on the other end of the hook 400 by hand. Then, the hook 400 is rotated upward so that the other end of the hook 400 is positioned inside the ear cover part 100 as shown in FIG. 7 , the mask string 11 is removed. Since it can be easily hung or separated, convenience in use can be increased.

In this way, in order to rotate the hook 400, the outer shell 300 surrounding the connection part 200 is cut so that the rest except for one end of the hook 400 is positioned to the outside, as shown in FIG. An incision line 310 is formed. The incision line 310 is preferably formed inside the width of the joint 210 to prevent the joint 210 from being separated from the outer shell 300 .

At this time, in order to increase the rotation angle of the hook 400 may be configured as follows.

As described above, the length of the incision line 310 is inevitably limited. As an example, as shown in FIG. 4B , the hook 400 is coupled to the upper portion of the joint 210, the hook 400. The downward rotation angle can be increased. At this time, the incision line 310 is formed downward from the vicinity of the point where the hook 400 is coupled to the joint 210 . That is, when the hook 400 is positioned to pass the upper part of the incision line 310 , the other end of the hook 400 is located inside the ear cover 100 , and the hook 400 is the incision line. When positioned to pass through the lower portion of the 310, the other end of the hook 400 is located outside.

As another example, the incision line 310 may be formed to be inclined downwardly toward the center of the connection part 200 as shown in FIG. 4B . That is, the cut-out line 310 may be formed in a diagonal line, and the interval between the two cut-out lines 310 may be formed to become narrower toward the bottom. This incision line 310 allows the hook 400 to be rotated downward at a larger angle.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 5 , in the hook 400 , a point that can come into contact with the lower end of the cut-out line 310 is depressed inside to form a locking groove 410 . When the hook 400 is rotated downward, it is possible to rotate until the cut-out line 310 is positioned in the locking groove 410 , so the hook 400 is downward even if it is not coupled to the upper portion of the joint 210 . can be rotated to a larger angle. In addition, since the locking groove 410 is caught at the lower end of the incision line 310, the hook 400 is no longer able to rotate downward, the locking groove 410 stably holds the hook 400 rotated at the maximum angle. It can also serve as a fixation.

As such, by increasing the angle of rotation downward of the hanger 400, the user can easily rotate the other end of the hanger 400 to be located outside, and a mask string on the other end of the hanger 400 ( 11) or to separate the mask string 11 hung on the other end of the hook 400 can be made more easily.
