Abstract

Disclosed herein is a cushion pad structure, which is coupled to a headband as an integral component of safety hats, protective masks, and the like, so as to maintain the uniform balance of the headband, thereby securing stable wearing of the above protective equipment on a wearer's head, and preventing biasing thereof. The cushion pad structure comprises a cushion pad which has a plurality of slip-prevention pieces formed at an inner peripheral surface thereof, and a groove defined at an outer peripheral surface thereof, and a fixing clip which is configured to be engaged in the groove of the cushion pad, and has upper and lower U-shaped fastening pieces formed at both lateral ends thereof. The fixing clip is formed, using an injection molding process, such that it is integral with the cushion pad.

Claims (19)

1. A cushion pad structure for a headband comprising:

a cushion pad having a plurality of slip-prevention pieces formed at an inner peripheral surface thereof, and a groove defined at an outer peripheral surface thereof; and

a fixing clip configured to be engaged in the groove of the cushion pad, and having upper and lower U-shaped fastening pieces formed at both lateral ends thereof,

wherein the fixing clip is formed, using an injection molding process, such that it is integral with the cushion pad.

2. A cushion pad structure for a headband comprising:

a cushion pad having a plurality of protrusions formed at an inner peripheral surface thereof; and

a fixing clip having a plurality of through holes, and upper and lower U-shaped fastening pieces formed at both lateral ends thereof,

whereby, as the through holes are engaged with the protrusions, the cushion pad is coupled to a clamp member of the headband by the fixing clip.

3. A cushion pad structure for a headband comprising:

a cushion pad having a plurality of slip-prevention pieces formed at an inner peripheral surface thereof, and a plurality of protruding pieces formed inside a groove defined at an outer peripheral surface thereof; and

a fixing clip having a plurality of through holes, and upper and lower U-shaped fastening pieces formed at both lateral ends thereof,

whereby, as the through holes are engaged with the protruding pieces, the cushion pad is coupled to a clamp member of the headband via the fixing clip.

4. The structure as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the upper and lower fastening pieces of the fixing clip are bent vertically.

5. A cushion pad structure for a headband comprising:

a cushion pad having vertically aligned upper and lower fastening slots formed near both lateral ends thereof; and

a pair of C-shaped fixing clips configured to be inserted through the fastening slots, so as to couple the cushion pad to a clamp member constituting the headband.

6. A cushion pad structure for a headband comprising:

a cushion pad having vertical grooves formed near both lateral ends of an inner peripheral surface thereof; and
