Description

Triple cushion material and body protection device using the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a triple cushion material and a body protector using the same, and more particularly, to a triple cushion material having a triple layer structure that absorbs, disperses, and buffers shocks to protect a user or an object from external impact, and to a triple cushion material and a body protector using the same that can reduce the amount of impact applied to a user in various physical activities such as daily life or sports games by manufacturing a body protector with excellent wearability and breathability using the triple cushion material.

[0002] Modern people lead healthy lives through a variety of physical activities. These activities, including sports, exercise, and maintaining good posture, promote mental and physical well-being. Furthermore, the proper use of products commonly used in everyday life can lead to even healthier lifestyles.

[0003] However, in people's physical activities, there are frequent cases of physical injuries due to various factors, and these injuries are often caused by external impacts during specific activities, and various physical injuries such as bruises and broken bones occur due to these external impacts.

[0004] Accordingly, various products are being released to protect the body, and these products are necessarily equipped with cushioning materials to protect the body from impact, and products for body protection are being developed and released to protect the user's body.

[0005] However, most cushioning materials included in products for protecting the body are simply single cushioning materials for general shock absorption, and despite the fact that there is a demand for cushioning materials that are more functional and can more safely protect the body from shock, most products that seek to protect the body only by applying cushioning materials such as the common sponge of the past.

[0006] Examples of physical injuries caused by external impacts include summer sports like soccer and baseball, which are the most physically active seasons. Baseball, for example, is a popular sport that requires a broad range of basic physical skills. Baseball involves batting the ball thrown by the pitcher and reaching base. Because it utilizes four bases—first, second, third, and home plate—the game is called "baseball." It is popular in many countries, including the United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Italy, the Philippines, and Cuba. Baseball has been played in Korea for over 100 years, and professional baseball is a popular sport, enjoying significant popularity.

[0007] Baseball, a sport that combines basic physical activities like running, jumping, and throwing, incorporates hitting and catching, adding a sense of excitement and thrill. During matches against the opposing team, teamwork, judgment, and decisiveness, depending on the situation, play a crucial role in determining victory. Baseball is generally considered a hardball sport, but similar sports such as softball, a feminine version of baseball, softball, which originated in Japan, and tee-ball, a sport for children, have taken root and are valuable as recreational sports.

[0008] As mentioned earlier, in baseball, the batter must hit the ball thrown by the pitcher and run towards the base to survive, so they either run at full speed to tag the base with their feet or slide to tag the base with their hands in a somewhat forced position. Such actions carry a risk of injury for baseball players. If they tag the base with their feet, they may sprain their ankle and get injured, and if they slide and tag the base with their hands, they may get abrasions on their thighs, buttocks, and hands, so they wear safety devices such as pads.

[0009] Protective gear designed to protect baseball players in these games comes in a variety of forms. The most widely used are catcher's masks for facial protection, and wrist and elbow protectors for batters.

[0010] However, recently, there are many pitchers who have fastballs that can throw at a speed of over 150 km / hr, and most pitchers have an average throwing speed of over 100 km / hr, so in reality, in baseball, the baseball is acting as a weapon that can injure the body of the baseball player.

[0011] Therefore, the current protective gear only provides protection for the elbows of baseball players and the face and knees of catchers, and injuries to players due to baseballs often occur.

[0012] Baseball players frequently suffer injuries due to the nature of the pitch, and the most vulnerable positions are the catcher and the hitter. When a pitcher throws a fastball, the ball often misses the bat and heads toward the ground, striking the instep of the batter or the catcher's foot. This can lead to serious foot injuries, significantly impacting a player's ability to hit and advance to base.

[0013] In other words, in sports that use a hard ball, such as baseball, or a stick, such as hockey, the impact from the baseball or stick on the body is so great that it can cause bone fractures, so wearing protective gear is essential.

[0014] However, as mentioned above, in the case of most general body protection protective gear, the cushioning material can only absorb general impact with a single cushioning material, so there is a demand for cushioning material that can more actively offset impact, and protective gear using such cushioning is also in demand.

[0015] Accordingly, the present invention was created to solve the above-described problem, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a triple cushioning material and a body protection device using the same, which forms a triple-structured cushioning material composed of a shock absorbing layer, a shock dissipating layer, and a shock buffering layer, thereby enabling more active shock attenuation from external shocks, thereby preventing and protecting the body from injury.

[0016] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a triple cushioning material having a triple structure including a shock absorption layer, a shock dissipation layer, and a shock buffering layer, which is easy to wear on a user's body part, while providing comfortable wear through improved ventilation and more clearly protecting the body part to be protected through prevention of positional changes during physical activities, and a body protector using the same.

[0017] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a triple cushioning material that can protect the body during use of an object through a cushioning material applicable to objects in various industrial fields as well as the body through a triple-structured cushioning material, and a body protection belt using the same.

[0018] In order to achieve the above purpose, the triple cushioning material and the body protector using the same according to the present invention are characterized by comprising: a shock-absorbing layer (10) that absorbs and attenuates an impact from an external impact, is formed of medium-density urethane to prevent adhesion of external foreign substances, and has a smooth surface for easy cleaning of foreign substances; a shock-dispersing layer (20) formed of either titanium or engineering plastic so that the remaining impact amount attenuated by the shock-absorbing layer (10) is transmitted and the transmitted impact amount is dispersed in a hard surface; and a shock-buffering layer (30) that receives the impact amount dispersed in a surface through the shock-dispersing layer (20) in the same surface, cushions the impact amount transmitted in a surface by undergoing surface deformation for the transmitted impact amount in a surface, and is formed of low-density urethane having a large number of micropores to ensure breathability.

[0019] Meanwhile, the cushioning material is formed of a triple layer of the shock-absorbing layer (10), the shock-dispersing layer (20), and the shock-buffering layer (30), and an air column hole (40) is formed that penetrates the shock-absorbing layer-shock-dispersing layer-shock-buffering layer, so that when the shock is not transmitted, it acts as a ventilation hole and minimizes the contact area with the user's skin, and when the shock is transmitted, it acts as an air column to disperse and cancel out the shock.

[0020] Here, the inner periphery of the air column hole (40) connected to the shock absorbing layer (10), shock dissipating layer (20), and shock buffering layer (30) is formed to have a smooth hardened surface (42) through heat processing, so that air is not circulated inward due to impact but is trapped in the air column hole to offset the impact amount through the role of an air column.

[0021] Meanwhile, the density of the medium-density urethane of the above shock-absorbing layer (10) is 35 kg / m 3 And, the density of the low-density urethane of the shock-absorbing layer (30) is 25 kg / m 3 It is characterized by being.

[0022] Meanwhile, a body protector using a triple cushion material according to the present invention comprises a triple cushion material (100) formed of a shock absorbing layer (10) that absorbs and attenuates an impact from an external impact, is formed of medium-density urethane to prevent attachment of external foreign substances, and has a smooth surface for easy cleaning of foreign substances, an impact dispersing layer (20) formed of titanium or engineering plastic so that the remaining impact amount attenuated from the shock absorbing layer (10) is transmitted and the transmitted impact amount is dispersed in a hard surface, and an impact buffering layer (30) that receives the impact amount dispersed in a surface through the shock dispersing layer (20) in the same surface, and cushions the impact amount transmitted in a surface in a surface while undergoing surface deformation for the transmitted impact amount, and is formed of low-density urethane having a large number of micropores to ensure breathability; It is characterized by being formed as a protective band (200) having a cylindrical shape with elasticity that can be easily freely deformed while wrapping around the part of the user's body to be protected, and the triple cushioning material (100) for protecting the user's body is bonded by hot melt to the outer periphery of the cylindrical shape, and a plurality of embossed protrusions (300) are formed on the inner periphery of the cylindrical shape that comes into contact with the user's body to minimize the contact area while preventing sliding through friction and ensuring ventilation by securing a ventilation space (400) separated from the user's body.

[0023] Here, the triple cushioning material (100) is preferably formed so that the lower surface of the shock-absorbing layer (30) of the triple cushioning material (100) corresponds to the outer periphery of the protective band (200) worn on the body, a portion for body protection, or the entire outer periphery of the protective band (200) for body protection, and is bonded and fixed by hot melt or ultrasonic bonding, and the protective band (200) having elasticity to which the triple cushioning material (100) is combined is characterized in that it is formed of a mesh fabric having elasticity in which a number of mesh holes expand and contract according to deformation due to wearing on the body, so that air flowing in and out through the mesh holes is circulated through a spaced ventilation space (400) formed between the protective band and the user's body by the embossed projections (300).

[0024] Meanwhile, when the impact is not transmitted, the air column hole (40) that penetrates the shock-absorbing layer (10) - shock-dispersing layer (20) - shock-buffering layer (30) of the triple cushioning material (100) is formed, and the air column hole (40) that is formed between the protective band and the user's body by the embossed projection (300) and the plurality of mesh holes of the protective band (200) formed of mesh fabric serves as a ventilation hole that allows air to circulate and minimizes the contact area with the user's skin, and when the impact is transmitted, it is formed to disperse and cancel out the impact through the role of an air column.

[0025] Furthermore, the inner periphery of the air column hole (40) connected to the shock absorbing layer (10), the shock dissipating layer (20), and the shock buffering layer (30) is formed to have a smooth hardened surface (42) through heat processing, so that air is not circulated inward due to impact but is trapped in the air column hole to offset the impact amount through the role of an air column.

[0026] The present invention forms a triple-structured cushioning material composed of a shock-absorbing layer, a shock-dispersing layer, and a shock-buffering layer, thereby enabling more active shock attenuation from external impact, thereby preventing and protecting the body from injury, and has the effect of providing a comfortable fit through a body protector with improved wearability in the form of a band that can be easily worn on a user's body part while improving ventilation, and more clearly protecting the body part to be protected by preventing positional changes during physical activity.

[0027] In addition, the present invention has the advantage of being able to protect the body while using an object through a cushioning material that can be applied to objects in various industrial fields as well as the body through a triple-structured cushioning material.

[0034] Fig. 7 is a side cross-sectional view of an excerpt of a body part illustrating another embodiment of a body protector using a triple cushion material according to the present invention.

[0035] FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are exemplary diagrams showing various embodiments in which a triple cushion material according to the present invention can be applied to an object to protect the body.

[0036] The triple cushioning material according to the present invention forms a triple-structured cushioning material capable of offsetting the amount of impact, thereby absorbing and dispersing the amount of impact generated from an external impact and actively offsetting the transmission of the amount of impact, thereby preventing injury or damage in the protection of a body protector or object in which the cushioning material is used, and is formed of a shock absorbing layer (10), a shock dissipating layer (20), and a shock buffering layer (30), as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0037] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the above shock-absorbing layer (10) is a layer that directly receives an external shock or an external force, absorbs and attenuates the shock from the external shock, is formed with medium-density urethane to prevent the attachment of external foreign substances, and is formed to have a smooth surface to facilitate cleaning of foreign substances. That is, when the shock is transmitted by an external shock or an external force, the shock-absorbing layer (10) formed with medium-density urethane absorbs and attenuates a portion of the shock and transmits the remaining shock to the shock-dispersing layer (20) described later. For example, when a baseball flies toward a user's body and collides with it, the impact from the contact with the body comes into contact with the shock-absorbing layer (10), and the impact from the impact of the baseball flying toward the user's body is transmitted to the shock-absorbing layer (10), and the baseball forms a spherical surface on the surface of the shock-absorbing layer, and the surface that contacts the baseball is deformed in the shape of an arc-shaped surface of the spherical surface of the baseball, and the impact is absorbed and dispersed, and the entire amount of impact spreads out like waves in water and is absorbed and attenuated.

[0038] However, if the impact of the baseball is less than the maximum impact that the impact-absorbing layer (10) can absorb, the impact is attenuated in the impact-absorbing layer (10), but if it is more than that, the part that is deformed in the shape of an arc in contact with the impact-dispersing layer described later is transferred to the impact-dispersing layer. In other words, the part where the impact is directly transferred to the impact-absorbing layer is deformed close to the impact-dispersing layer while being attenuated to less than half of the total impact, and the impact is absorbed and attenuated as it spreads to the impact-dispersing layer around where the direct impact was transferred.

[0039] The above shock dissipation layer (20) is formed of either titanium or engineering plastic so that the remaining shock amount offset from the shock-absorbing layer (10) described above, that is, the shock-absorbing layer to which the direct shock amount was transmitted, is deformed toward the shock dissipation layer as described above, and the transmitted shock amount is distributed along the surface when it comes into contact with a hard surface. That is, the shock dissipation layer (20) is formed of a hard and hard surface so that the shock amount transmitted from the shock-absorbing layer (10) is expanded and distributed in the surface from the point where the impact was directly applied, thereby offsetting the shock amount, and the dispersed shock amount is evenly transmitted to the shock-buffering layer and is buffered. It is provided so that the shock is spread and distributed in the surface rather than being deformed due to the shock.

[0040] Therefore, since the materials such as titanium and engineering plastics that form the shock dissipation layer (20) are made of hard materials, a large rebound force is formed due to the impact, so when the impact is transmitted from the shock-absorbing layer, a reaction to the rebound force occurs in the shock-absorbing layer, and the impact spreads and is dispersed along the surface of the hard material such as titanium or engineering plastic, thereby offsetting the impact. In other words, the shock-absorbing layer (20) mentioned above not only absorbs the external impact and transmits the minimum impact amount to the shock dissipation layer, but also plays a role in absorbing the rebound force corresponding to the impact amount according to the characteristics of the hard material of the shock dissipation layer (20) under the shock absorption layer, thereby offsetting the external impact from being transmitted to the user or object as much as possible.

[0041] That is, the shock dissipation layer (20) plays a role similar to snowshoes to prevent the foot from sinking into the snow on the snow. Since the bottom area of ​​the snowshoes is large and the weight applied is distributed in the same plane, the body load directly applied on the snow is distributed so that the foot does not sink deeply into the snow. In the same way, a portion of the shock absorbed and attenuated by the shock absorbing layer is not concentrated in one place, but is widely spread in the plane to disperse the shock, so that the shock applied to the shock dissipation layer (20) is distributed into an shock amount that can be attenuated by buffering the shock amount of the shock absorbing layer when transmitted to the shock buffering layer.

[0042] Meanwhile, the shock dissipation layer (20) is made of a hard material, so in addition to the rebound force against the shock transmitted from the shock absorption layer, the shock to the shock buffer layer forming the next layer is evenly distributed over the surface area, so that the shock applied to the shock buffer layer, which will be described later, is actually reduced to 1 / 10 of the initial shock.

[0043] Accordingly, the shock-absorbing layer (30) is formed on the lower surface of the aforementioned shock-dispersing layer (20), and the shock amount is transmitted in a planar manner by the shock-dispersing layer (20). As mentioned above, the shock-absorbing layer (30) receives the planarly distributed shock amount through the shock-dispersing layer (20) in the same plane, and, while undergoing planar deformation for the transmitted shock amount, evenly transmits the planarly transmitted shock amount to the plane and absorbs it, and is formed of low-density urethane with a large number of micropores formed therein to ensure breathability.

[0044] In addition, the micropores of the shock-absorbing layer (30) are filled with air, so even if the shock-absorbing layer is pressed flat, the air-filled micropores have a shock-absorbing capacity even with the low-density urethane itself, but the shock-absorbing support capacity of the air filled in minimizes or prevents deformation due to the amount of impact.

[0045] Accordingly, since the plurality of micropores formed to ensure the ventilation of the shock-absorbing layer (30) are filled with air inside, when the shock amount is transmitted in a plane from the shock-dispersing layer (20), the shock amount is offset through air buffering (air proportional to the shock amount is transmitted from the plurality of micropores to the outside or to the plurality of adjacent micropores to which the shock amount is not transmitted, thereby offsetting the shock amount) by the air filled in the plurality of micropores, which interacts with the buffering ability of the shock-absorbing layer (30) itself.

[0046] Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is preferable that an air column hole (40) penetrating the shock absorption layer-shock distribution layer-shock buffer layer is formed in the cushioning material composed of three layers of the shock absorption layer (10), the shock distribution layer (20), and the shock buffer layer (30), so that when the shock is not transmitted, it acts as a ventilation hole and minimizes the contact area with the user's skin, and when the shock is transmitted, it acts as an air column to disperse and cancel out the shock while reinforcing the strength of the interlayer structure of the cushion layer.

[0047] That is, since the air column hole (40) is formed in a cylindrical shape and is formed through a penetration so that each layer is connected to each other, the contact area of ​​the bottom surface of the shock-absorbing layer (30) that comes into contact with the skin can be minimized, so that moisture such as skin troubles or sweat can be easily discharged, and even if the cushion layer is deformed due to an impact, it can be restored to its original state more quickly through the pillar function of the air filled inside the air column hole (40), thereby providing a strength to withstand the impact.

[0048] Here, the inner periphery of the air column hole (40) connected to the shock-absorbing layer (10), shock-dispersing layer (20), and shock-buffering layer (30) is formed to have a smooth hardened surface (42) through heat processing so that air does not circulate inward due to impact but is trapped in the air column hole and offsets the impact amount through the role of an air column, thereby providing a supporting rigidity. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the air trapped in the air column hole (40) by the hardened surface (42) does not leak out through the micropores formed in the shock-absorbing layer formed of medium-density urethane and the shock-buffering layer formed of low-density urethane. Therefore, when an impact amount is applied to the air column hole (40), the internal air does not leak out through the hardened surface (42), but the central part of the sealed air column hole (40) swells to play a role in cushioning and absorbing the impact. In addition, since the air filled in the air column hole (40) is inflated by the impact and then returned to its original state, the shock absorption layer and shock buffer layer by the air column hole (40) can be restored to their original state more quickly.

[0049] Meanwhile, the density of the medium-density urethane of the above shock-absorbing layer (10) is 35 kg / m 3 And, the density of the low-density urethane of the shock-absorbing layer (30) is 25 kg / m 3 It is desirable that.

[0050] Using the triple-layer cushion material of the present invention, which has this configuration, a body protector can be formed into a shape suitable for various parts of the body. In this body type, the arms and legs are the most active parts of the body, and these parts with high physical activity are exposed to various external impacts, making them prone to safety accidents or injuries. Therefore, a body protector suitable for these areas is necessary.

[0051] Accordingly, the body protector using the triple cushion material according to the present invention is configured in the form of the triple cushion material (100) and the protective band (200) described above. Here, it is obvious that in addition to the protective band, it can be manufactured in various ways according to the shape of the body. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 8, it can be a wearable body protector in the form of a T-shirt, and as illustrated in FIG. 9, it can be a body protector attached to the knee in which a plurality of parts are divided to form a single joint.

[0052] Accordingly, in the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a protective band (200) shape is described as a body protector that is easy to use to protect exposed body parts such as the arms and legs, which are the most active parts.

[0053] The above triple cushioning material (100) is formed of a shock-absorbing layer (10) that absorbs and attenuates the shock from an external impact as described above, is formed of medium-density urethane to prevent the attachment of external foreign substances, and has a smooth surface for easy cleaning of foreign substances, a shock-dispersing layer (20) formed of titanium or engineering plastic so that the remaining shock amount attenuated from the shock-absorbing layer (10) is transmitted and the transmitted shock amount is dispersed in a hard surface, and a shock-buffering layer (30) that receives the shock amount dispersed in a surface through the shock-dispersing layer (20) in the same surface, and cushions the shock amount transmitted in a surface by undergoing surface deformation for the transmitted shock amount, and is formed of low-density urethane having a large number of micropores to ensure breathability.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 5, the above protective band (200) is formed into a cylindrical shape with elasticity so that it can be easily freely deformed while wrapping around the part of the user's body to be protected, and the triple cushioning material (100) for protecting the user's body is bonded by hot melt to the outer periphery of the cylindrical shape, and as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of embossed protrusions (300) are formed on the inner periphery of the cylindrical shape that comes into contact with the user's body to minimize the contact area while preventing slippage through friction and ensuring ventilation by securing a ventilation space (400) separated from the user's body.

[0055] Here, the triple cushioning material (100) is formed so that the lower surface of the shock-absorbing layer (30) of the triple cushioning material (100) corresponds to the outer periphery of the protective band (200) worn on the body, which is for body protection, or the entire outer periphery of the protective band (200) for body protection, and is bonded and fixed by hot melt or ultrasonic bonding.

[0056] Meanwhile, the elastic protective band (200) combined with the triple cushioning material (100) is formed of a mesh fabric having elasticity in which a number of mesh holes expand and contract according to deformation caused by wearing on the body, so that air flowing in and out of the mesh holes is circulated through a spaced ventilation space (400) formed between the protective band and the user's body by the embossed projections (300).

[0057] Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when the air column hole (40) penetrating the shock absorbing layer (10) - shock dissipating layer (20) - shock buffering layer (30) of the triple cushioning material (100) is formed so that when the impact is not transmitted, the air column hole (40) is formed between the protective band and the user's body by the embossed projection (300) and the multiple mesh holes of the protective band (200) formed of mesh fabric, so that the air circulates through the air column and minimizes the contact area with the user's skin, and when the impact is transmitted, it is preferable to form the air column so as to disperse and cancel out the impact while reinforcing the strength of the interlayer structure of the cushion layer.

[0058] That is, the air column hole (40) is formed in a cylindrical shape so that each layer is connected to each other, and the ventilation space (400) is connected, and only the point of contact with the embossed protrusions (300) formed on the mesh fabric is in contact with the skin, so that the shock-absorbing layer (30) is not in direct contact, but is in direct contact with the embossed protrusions, so that skin troubles or moisture such as sweat can be easily discharged, and even if the cushion layer is deformed due to an impact, it can be restored to its original state more quickly through the pillar function of the air filled inside the air column hole (40), so that it has a strength to withstand impact.

[0059] Here, the inner periphery of the air column hole (40) connected to the shock-absorbing layer (10), shock-dispersing layer (20), and shock-buffering layer (30) is formed to have a smooth hardened surface (42) through heat processing so that air does not circulate inward due to impact but is trapped in the air column hole, thereby offsetting the impact amount through the role of an air column and forming a supporting rigidity. That is, since the air trapped in the air column hole (40) by the hardened surface (42) does not leak out through the micropores formed in the shock-absorbing layer formed of medium-density urethane and the shock-buffering layer formed of low-density urethane, when the impact amount is applied to the air column hole (40), the internal air does not leak out through the hardened surface (42), and the central side of the sealed air column hole (40) swells to play a role in cushioning and absorption. In addition, since the air filled in the air column hole (40) is inflated by the impact and then returned to its original state, the shock absorption layer and shock buffer layer by the air column hole (40) can be restored to their original state more quickly.

[0060] Here, the medium density urethane of the shock absorbing layer (10) and the low density urethane of the shock buffering layer (30) are each 35 kg / m 3 And the low density is 25Kg / m 3 It is desirable that.

[0061] Meanwhile, it is preferable to manufacture a body protector using a triple cushion material according to the present invention as described above in a form in which a protective band is formed of mesh fabric for the arms and legs and a triple cushion material is attached to the outer periphery of the protective band, so that it can be easily put on and taken off like arm warmers or socks. However, as shown in FIG. 8, in the case of the chest or back of the body, it is preferable to form an upper body and place and combine triple cushion materials in a way that they are divided according to each part of the upper body to protect the body.

[0062] Furthermore, when protecting the hands, gloves can be designed with triple-layer cushioning at each joint, preventing accidents and injuries caused by external impacts. Furthermore, footwear can be designed with triple-layer cushioning at the foot, functioning as body protectors.

[0063] Meanwhile, in the case of joints with a large bending action, such as the knee, it is obvious that it is possible to use them more safely by calculating the amount of deformation of each part according to the bending action of the knee joint and then dividing and combining them.

[0064] Although the present invention has been described in detail above as one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is obvious that numerous modifications and variations are possible for those of ordinary skill in the art within the scope of technical ideas, and it is to be understood that such modifications and variations are included up to a range substantially equivalent to the embodiments of the present invention. The technical features will be described in detail.

A triple cushioning material (10) formed of a shock absorbing layer (10) that absorbs and attenuates shock from an external impact, is formed of medium-density urethane to prevent attachment of external foreign substances, and has a smooth surface for easy cleaning of foreign substances, and a shock dispersing layer (20) formed of titanium or engineering plastic to transmit the remaining shock amount attenuated from the shock absorbing layer (10) and to disperse the transmitted shock amount in a hard surface, and a shock buffering layer (30) formed of low-density urethane with a large number of micropores to ensure breathability, which receives the shock amount dispersed in a surface through the shock dispersing layer (20) in the same surface, and cushions the transmitted shock amount in a surface while undergoing surface deformation for the transmitted shock amount, and is formed in a cylindrical shape with elasticity to easily freely deform while wrapping around a part of the user's body to be protected, and protects the user's body with an outer periphery of the cylindrical shape. The protective band (200) is formed with a plurality of embossed protrusions (300) that are combined by hot melt and have a cylindrical inner periphery that comes into contact with the user's body, and have a minimized contact area while preventing sliding through friction and ensuring ventilation by securing a ventilation space (400) separated from the user's body, and the protective band (200) with elasticity to which the triple cushioning material (100) is combined is formed with a mesh fabric with elasticity in which a plurality of mesh holes expand and contract according to deformation due to wearing on the body, so that air flowing in and out through the mesh holes is formed to circulate through the ventilation space (400) separated from the user's body and the protective band by the embossed protrusions (300). When the air column hole (40) penetrating the shock absorbing layer (10) - shock dissipating layer (20) - shock buffering layer (30) of the above triple cushioning material (100) is formed so that the shock amount is not transmitted, the air circulation through the spaced ventilation space (400) formed between the protective band and the user's body by the embossed projection (300) and the multiple mesh holes of the protective band (200) formed with mesh fabric is performed to minimize the contact area with the user's skin. A body protector using a triple cushion material characterized by being formed to disperse and attenuate the impact by acting as an air column when an impact is transmitted.

2. In paragraph 1, A body protector using a triple cushion material characterized in that the inner periphery of the air column hole (40) connected to the shock absorbing layer (10), the shock dissipating layer (20), and the shock buffering layer (30) is formed to have a smooth hardened surface (42) through heat processing so that air does not flow inward due to impact but is trapped in the air column hole to offset the amount of impact through the role of an air column.
