a main body formed to be concave from top, bottom, left, and right toward the center thereof;
a fixing clip provided at an upper portion of the main body and configured to receive one of the band body and the supporting band, the fixing clip defining an insertion hole that is configured to enable the one of the band body and the supporting band to be inserted and installed therein;
a bent member connecting both end portions of the fixing clip with an upper portion of an edge of the main body to be integrated therewith; and
separating-preventing sections protruding inwardly toward each other from opposing sides of the fixing clip,
wherein the head cushion is formed with an elastic material to be easily modified and restored in shape, inserted, and installed in the headband to complementarily support the head of the wearer,
wherein the fixing clip and the bent member are in an opening of the main body and are movable in the opening relative to the main body.

2. The headed cushion of claim 1 , wherein at least one opening extends through the main body.

3. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein at least one incised portion is formed at the main body.

4. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein at least one bent portion is formed at the main body to be bent in a semicircular shape.

5. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein a bent section bent by a certain angle is formed at an edge end portion of the main body.

6. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein a soft portion comprising a soft material is formed at a bottom surface of the main body.

7. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein an auxiliary pad mounted at a lower portion of the main body and comprising a paper or fabric material is provided.

8. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein the fixing clip is U-shaped.

9. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein the bent member includes at least one bent hole, and wherein the at least one bent hole has a slot-shaped and extends through the bent member.

10. The head cushion of claim 1 , wherein the fixing clip and the bent member are movable vertically and elastically in the opening relative to the main body.

11. A functional/multi-purpose head cushion for a headband comprising a band body configured to be worn on a head of a wearer, a supporting band connected to the band body and supported by a top of the head of the wearer, an adjustable band connected to a rear end of the band body and configured to be adjusted in length, and a length adjusting lever configured to adjust the length of the adjustable band, the head cushion comprising:
a main body formed to be concave from top, bottom, left, and right toward the center thereof;
a fixing clip provided at an upper portion of the main body and configured to receive one of the band body and the supporting band, the fixing clip having an insertion hole at one side thereof that defines a bottom and is configured to enable the one of the band body and the supporting band to be inserted and installed therein;
a bent member connecting both end portions of the fixing clip with an upper portion of an edge of the main body to be integrated therewith; and
a separating-preventing section including a wedge that protrudes from the bottom of the insertion hole,
wherein the head cushion is formed with an elastic material to be easily modified and restored in shape, inserted, and installed in the headband to complementarily support the head of the wearer,
wherein the fixing clip and the bent member are in an opening of the main body and are movable in the opening relative to the main body.

12. The head cushion of claim 11 , wherein the fixing clip is C-shaped.

13. The head cushion of claim 11 , wherein the bent member includes at least one bent hole, and wherein the at least one bent hole has a slot-shaped and extends through the bent member.
