Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hat technology, and in particular to a nurse's hat. Background Technology
[0002] As a signature garment of the nursing profession, the nurse's cap serves multiple purposes: concealing hair, maintaining hygiene, and identifying the nurse's profession. Traditional nurse's caps are mostly made of cotton or cloth and require external fastening devices (such as hairpins or safety pins) to secure them to the hair. When wearing them, the edge of the cap should be aligned with the hairline, and the cap should be secured to the hair with safety pins to prevent it from falling off while walking or working.
[0003] The existing methods for securing nurse caps mainly have the following problems:
[0004] Insufficient stability: The safety pin only provides a local fixation point. When nurses frequently bend or raise their heads or walk quickly, the cap is easily shifted or even falls off due to stress. The risk of falling off is significantly increased, especially in high-intensity operation scenarios such as operating rooms and emergency departments. In aseptic operation scenarios (such as operating rooms), touching the cap may contaminate the hand environment.
[0005] Damage to hair and scalp: Repeated locking and unlocking of metal pins can pull on hair roots, and long-term use may lead to hair loss and breakage; if the tip of the pin is not adequately protected, it may also scratch the scalp.
[0006] Aesthetic and hygiene issues: Exposed pins ruin the clean appearance of the nurse's cap, and dark or rusty pins can easily stain the white cap, increasing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0007] For nurses with short hair, traditional methods of securing their hair are almost ineffective.
[0008] Short hair doesn't provide enough strands for the safety pins to hold, resulting in insufficient adhesion between the cap and hair, making it easy to fall off with the slightest movement. Existing solutions (such as increasing the number of safety pins) actually exacerbate scalp discomfort and do not fundamentally solve the stability problem. Utility Model Content
[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide a nurse's cap with a novel structure that meets the requirements of no safety pins, adapts to hair volume, and secures the cap without damage, thereby satisfying the stability and comfort needs of high-intensity nursing scenarios.
[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a nurse's cap, including a cap body and at least two hair inserts. The hair inserts are disposed on the inner side of the lower edge of the cap body. Each hair insert has a fixing base and several inserts. The fixing base has a frame-shaped structure. The several inserts are integrally cut and formed with the lower edge of the fixing base. The several inserts extend upward and are at least partially higher than the top of the upper edge of the fixing base. The fixing base is connected to the cap body by stitching or by rivets.
[0011] A further preferred embodiment is that the lower frame has a U-shaped structure with a high bottom end, the upper frame has an L-shape, the short side of the upper frame is riveted to the bottom end of the lower frame, and the long side is riveted to the high end of the lower frame.
[0012] A further preferred embodiment is that the lower frame and the upper frame are punched with fixing holes for fixing to the cap body.
[0013] A further preferred option is that the plurality of inserts are Z-shaped, so that the upper part of the main body is elastically pressed against the upper frame.
[0014] A further preferred option is that the tips of the plurality of insert teeth are spherical.
[0015] A further preferred embodiment is that a soft rubber sleeve is fitted onto the upper frame, and the upper parts of the plurality of insert teeth are elastically pressed onto the soft rubber sleeve, wherein the length of the soft rubber sleeve is at least equal to the length of the plurality of insert teeth.
[0016] A further preferred embodiment is that the cap body includes a front stand, a front crotch, two side wings, and a rear crotch, all unfolded on the same plane. The front stand and the front crotch have detachment marks, and after assembly, the front stand is in an upright position. The two side wings are connected to the two sides of the front crotch and are in a swallowtail shape. The rear crotch is connected to the rear of the front crotch and is located between the two side wings. The front stand is arc-shaped, and the rear crotch is square.
[0017] A further preferred option is that the tail ends of the two side wings are connected to the middle of the rear crotch edge by snaps or buttons.
[0018] A further preferred embodiment is that the hair insert is provided on the lower inner edge of the front crotch and the inner edges of the two side wings.
[0019] Implementing this utility model embodiment has the following beneficial effects: By setting a hair insert in the nurse's cap, the nurse's cap does not need to rely on external pins for wearing, and it is fixed stably without manipulating the scalp, thus meeting the stability and comfort requirements of high-intensity nursing scenarios.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The structural diagram is shown below.
[0029] A nurse's cap according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a cap body 1 and at least two hair inserts 2. The hair inserts 2 are disposed on the inner side of the lower edge of the cap body and are used to insert the hair at the edge of the nurse's cap into them when worn, so as to fix the nurse's cap.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the insertion and fixation of hair, the hair insert 2 is made of iron sheet material and is cut and assembled to form a sheet structure, which includes a fixing base 21 and several insert teeth 22. The fixing base 21 is a rectangular frame structure, consisting of an upper frame 211 and a lower frame 212. Several insert teeth 22 are integrally formed with the lower frame 212 and extend upward to the upper frame 211, and are at least partially higher than the top of the upper frame 211 of the fixing base.
[0031] The upper frame 211 and the lower frame 212 are punched with fixing holes 213, so that the fixing base 21 is connected to the cap body 1 by stitching or by rivets. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the production, the fixing holes 213 are used, and with the help of needle and thread, the fixing base 21 is connected to the cap body 1 by stitching.
[0032] In this embodiment, to facilitate the fabrication of the hair insert 2, the upper frame 211 is cut into an L-shape, and the lower frame 212 is cut into a U-shape with a high bottom. The short side of the upper frame 211 is riveted to the bottom of the lower frame 212, and the long side of the upper frame 211 is riveted to the high top of the lower frame 212. The ends of the riveting points are all rounded to prevent scratching the skin.
[0033] In order to facilitate the insertion and fixation of the hair, in this embodiment, the insert 22 is Z-shaped. This structure allows the upper part of the main body of the insert 22 to be elastically pressed against the upper frame 211 when it extends upward to the upper frame 211.
[0034] Even better, the tip of the insert 22 is spherical.
[0035] To better secure the hair, a soft rubber sleeve 214 is fitted onto the upper frame 211, and the upper parts of several inserts 22 are elastically pressed onto the soft rubber sleeve 214, so that the length of the soft rubber sleeve 214 is at least equal to the length of the arrangement of the inserts 22.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the cap body 1 is composed of a front brim 11, a front crotch 12, two side wings 13, and a rear crotch 14. These structures are on the same plane when unfolded. There is a detachment mark 15 between the front brim 11 and the front crotch 12. After being assembled into a nurse's cap, the front brim is in an upright state. The two side wings 13 are connected to the two sides of the front crotch 12 and are in the shape of swallowtails. The rear crotch 14 is connected to the rear of the front crotch 12 and is located between the two side wings 13. The front brim 11 is arc-shaped and the rear crotch 14 is square.
[0037] The tail ends of the two side wings 13 are connected to the middle edge of the rear crotch 14 by snaps or buttons. In this embodiment, buttons are used for connection. The tail ends of the two side wings 13 are provided with buttonholes 131, and the middle edge of the rear crotch 14 is provided with buttons 141.
[0038] After folding along the front edge 11 and the tear line 15, its state is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0039] In this embodiment, hair inserts 2 are provided on the lower inner edge of the front crotch 12 and the inner sides of the two wings 13.
[0040] This application secures the nurse cap reliably by placing hair inserts 2 at these locations and inserting them into the corresponding hair when wearing the cap. It is suitable for nurses with long or short hair.
