[0057] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the protective clothing 10 according to the present invention is provided to be wearable for protecting a worker from contamination, and generally includes a hood portion 100, an upper body portion 200, and a lower body portion 300.

[0058] First, the hood portion 100, the upper body portion 200, and the lower body portion 300 may be divided such that the hood portion 100 is a portion covering a head of a worker, and the upper body portion 200 surrounds the upper body, and the lower body portion 300 surrounds the lower body.

[0059] A back neck portion that connects the hood portion 100 and the upper body portion 200 may include a hood pleated portion having elasticity.

[0060] The hood pleated portion may include a neck vertical string 112 and a neck pleat bending portion 114.

[0061] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hood pleated portion is formed long from the back of the head of the worker toward the neck, and the neck pleat bending portion 114 is formed of a plurality of pleats, and the neck vertical string 112 is formed longer than the neck pleat bending portion 114 inside the protective clothing 10.

[0062] In the present exemplary embodiment, the neck vertical string 112 may be provided in a length of 10 to 20 cm.

[0063] The neck vertical string 112 is elongated in the state in which the neck pleat bending portion 114 is straightened, and the neck vertical string 112 is contracted when the neck pleat bending portion 114 is formed with pleat, and the neck vertical string 112 may maintain the pleat shape of the neck pleat bending portion 114 and help the worker to raise his/her head.

[0064] Then, when the worker bows his head, the neck pleat bending portion 114 is straightened and the neck vertical string 112 is elongated, thereby preventing the upper body portion 200 from being pulled upward due to a user action and preventing the protective clothing 10 from sagging when the worker raises the head.

[0065] It is preferable that the neck pleat bending portion 114 is formed with a number of pleats so as to be straight as much as possible when the worker bows the head.

[0066] A waist pleat portion 210 may be formed at a waist portion in the same form as that of the hood pleat portion.

[0067] Next, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the waist pleat portion 210 may include a waist vertical string 212 and a waist pleat bending portion 214 vertically formed in the protective clothing 10 along the spine.

[0068] The waist pleat bending portion 214 is provided in the form having the plurality of pleats, and the waist vertical string 212 made of an elastic material may be formed inside the protective clothing 10.

[0069] In the present exemplary embodiment, the waist vertical string 212 may be provided in a length of 10 to 20 cm.

[0070] The waist vertical string 212 is provided to be elongated in the state where the waist pleated bending portion 214 is straightened and is contracted when the waist pleated bending portion 214 is pleated, and maintains the pleated shape of the waist pleated bending portion 214 and helps the worker to rapidly raise the waist.

[0071] Further, when the workers bends the waist, the waist pleated bending portion 214 is straightened and the waist vertical string 212 is elongated, thereby preventing the lower body portion 300 from being pulled upward due to the user's action and the protective clothing 10 from sagging when the worker stretches the waist.

[0072] It is preferable that a number of pleats are formed so that the waist pleated bending portion 214 is straightened as much as possible when the worker bends the waist.

[0073] In the meantime, the lateral pleated portion 220 may be formed on the lateral surface of the protective clothing 10.

[0074] The lateral pleated portion 220 is formed between the armpit and the pelvis of the worker in the vertical direction, and may include at least one lateral vertical string 222 and a lateral pleated bending portion 224 in which a plurality of pleats is vertically formed by the lateral vertical string 222.

[0075] Further, in the protective clothing 10, the knee pleated portion 320 may be formed in a portion corresponding to the knee of the worker.

[0076] The knee pleated portion 320 is formed between the thigh and the shin, and may include at least one knee vertical string 322 and a knee pleated bending portion 324 in which a plurality of pleats is vertically formed by the knee vertical string 322.

[0077] The lateral pleated portion 220 and the knee pleated portion 320 are illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 10, and have the same functions as those of the neck pleated portion 320 and the waist pleated portion 210, so that the detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0078] Next, the circulation part 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13.

[0079] The circulation part 400 is provided in at least one of the hood portion 100, the upper body portion 200, and the lower body portion 300, and lowers a body temperature of the worker by injecting air into the protective clothing 10.

[0080] In the present exemplary embodiment, the circulation part 400 is formed in the hood portion 100, but depending on the exemplary embodiment, the circulation part 400 may be formed on a rear surface of the lower body portion 300 and a portion corresponding to the hip of the worker, and may also be formed in each of the hood portion 100, the upper body portion 200, and the lower body portion 300, and thus the scope of the present invention is not limited by the limited location and the limited number of circulation parts 400 formed in the protective clothing 10.

[0081] The circulation part 400 may include a pocket 410 formed in the protective clothing 10, a blower fan 420 inserted into the pocket 410, a fixing band 430 for fixing the blower fan inside the pocket 410, and an opening/closing part and a cover for opening and closing the pocket 410.

[0082] First, the pocket 410 may be formed by cutting off a portion of the protective clothing 10 or may be formed by padding a fabric.

[0083] In the present exemplary embodiment, a part adjacent to the skin may be formed with a mesh-shaped ventilation net 460 to facilitate air transfer into the protective clothing 10.

[0084] The blower fan 420 may be fixed to the position corresponding to the ventilation net 460.

[0085] The fixing band 430 fixing the blower fan 420 may have at least two elastic bands inside the pocket 410 formed in an “X” shape, and through the fixing band 430, it is possible to prevent the blower fan 420 from operating or shaking after the blower fan 420 is accommodated and it is possible to easily take out the blower fan 420 from the pocket 410 or fix the blower fan 420.

[0086] Further, the pocket 410 is provided to be able to be opened and closed, and is formed to be double-locked to prevent external contaminants from flowing into the pocket 410.

[0087] In particular, an opening/closing part in the form of a zipper is formed in the opened upper portion so that the blower fan 420 is inserted, and a cover for secondarily close the opened upper portion may be formed.

[0088] In the meantime, the protective clothing 10 may include the contamination identifying part 500 that is capable of checking whether the protective clothing 10 is contaminated.

[0089] The contamination identifying part 500 may be provided in the form of a pad 520 to be detachably attached to a part of the protective clothing 10.

[0090] Therefore, in the present exemplary embodiment, the contamination identifying part 500 is provided in the form of Velcro, and may be made of a material bendable together with the protective clothing 10.

[0091] Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the contamination identifying part 500 is formed in the arm of the protective clothing 10, and is provided with the pad 520 and an adhesive member 540.

[0092] One surface of the pad 520 may be provided with a material capable of confirming the degree of contamination, and the other surface thereof may be formed to be attached to the adhesive member 540.

[0093] The pad 520 contains a component changed due to contamination, such as viruses or chemicals, and through this, the color of the pad 520 is changed according to the time of exposure to the contamination.

[0094] For example, the pad 520 may be changed to white when exposed to the contamination for 0 to 1 hour, grey when exposed to the contamination for 1 to 3 hours, and black when exposed to the contamination for 3 to 5 hours.

[0095] As described above, the optimum exemplary embodiment has been disclosed in the drawings and the specification. Herein, the specific terms used herein are for purposes of illustration, but are only used for the purpose of describing the present invention, and are not used to limit the meaning or the scope of the present invention described in the claims.
