The face mask part is connected to the main part as a single unit and overlaps with a forehead. There is a ventilation hole at a top of the head around a crown to prevent excessive heat from building up. It can be worn during sauna bathing, showers, hot water baths, and outdoor bathing, and uses a towel fabric of a stretch material that does not slip off even if the head is moved.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a headwear for use in a sauna bath. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the number of people using saunas has increased, and the demand for saunas has risen significantly. Among them, sauna hats are in high demand and attract attention, with some even collecting them. Saunas are primarily used to warm the body, causing a lot of sweat, stimulating the body's metabolism, and promoting beauty and health. The human body has many sweat glands, but they are concentrated in the head (about five times as many as the sweat glands on the rest of the body).

[0003] Generally, the benefit of wearing a sauna hat in a sauna room is that it protects hair from drying and becoming damaged due to the heat of the sauna, but it is also thought to be meaningful in lowering the temperature of the head, which tends to warm up first compared to the torso below the neck. When people feel hot in a sauna room, it is mainly the top of the head and face that feel hot. Also, breathing becomes difficult when inhaling the heat. For example, the heat felt by the face is different from the heat felt by the torso below the neck, and it is thought that there is a temperature difference between the head and torso at the level of sensation.

[0004] Wearing a sauna hat or wrapping a towel around your head protects the hairy areas well, but not the face, which is the most sensitive to heat. Simply putting a hat on your head or wrapping a towel around your hair is not enough. Therefore, if you can use it as a face mask (hereinafter, the face mask part refers to the face part up to the chin excluding the area around the eyes) to cover the face except for the area around the eyes, you can cover the whole head including the face. This is very effective, as it balances the difference in how the head and the torso part of the body below the head warm up, allowing you to sweat for a longer period of time, which is thought to allow you to experience the promotion of metabolism, which is the main purpose of saunas, for a longer period of time as expected.

[0005] Covering the nose and mouth with a face mask is thought to make breathing easier because the hot sauna air is less likely to be inhaled directly. Currently, what is commonly seen is a sauna hat on the head or a towel wrapped around the head to protect the head from heat, but the mouth and the area around the mouth are covered with another towel. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3078251 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The sauna cap with front pad in Patent Document 1 uses rubber and Velcro parts, and it is thought that damage from repeated washing can easily cause the rubber to sag and the Velcro parts to deteriorate at the contact points where they stick.

[0008] Because the mask is made up of two parts, a cap and a front part, it is possible that the mask part may be dropped or forgotten in the changing room or sauna, or the two parts may come apart, so having two parts can be somewhat inconvenient.

[0009] The front mask can be removed as desired, but when you need it in the sauna, the task of taking it out and putting it back on is a bit of a hassle in the sauna room, and it is not very convenient. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the headgear of the present invention employs the following technical measures. That is, the headwear of the present invention is a headwear that protects the entire head, including the face and hair, from the sauna heat that concentrates on the user's head, and reduces the temperature of the entire head felt as a physical sensation. By integrating the two parts of Patent Document 1 mentioned above, it is possible to easily pull down the face mask part that overlaps the main body part from the main body part smoothly in the sauna room, and to pull it up and return it when the face mask part is not needed. Effect of the Invention

[0011] There is no need to use elastic or Velcro, so there is no need to worry about elastic coming loose or parts coming off. In addition, the main body and the face mask are integrally formed, so the main body and the mask will not become separated, and there is no need to worry about losing or forgetting parts in the sauna or changing room.

[0012] When needed, rather than taking out the mask and putting it on, you can quickly add the face mask portion by simply grabbing it and sliding it down, and you can quickly return it to its original position by simply grabbing it and lifting it up, which makes it highly effective. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front view of the headgear worn. [Diagram 2] FIG. 1 is a view of the headgear worn from an oblique angle. [Diagram 3] This is a diagram of the mask part unfolded starting from the fold when wearing the headgear. [Figure 4] 1A and 1B are diagrams showing the state when the head mounting device is worn (first position) and (second position), respectively. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the headgear of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings 1 to 4.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a front view of the headgear when worn. This single device can cover a wide area of ​​the head, including most of the head, which tends to get particularly hot in a sauna, as well as the hair, nose, mouth, cheeks, chin, and ears.

[0016] The material used to make this garment is a highly absorbent terry cloth, which absorbs the moisture from hair after shampooing and the sweat from the sauna, preventing drips of shampoo from falling onto the bath or floor and soiling the bath, and preventing drips of conditioner from dripping from the hair and making the floor slippery.

[0017] The toweling used in this harness is a stretchy material that fits the shape of a person's head and will not slip down when looking up, down, or moving the head.

[0018] By owning just one of these devices, you can wear it in a variety of situations throughout the range of sauna bathing activities, such as in the sauna room, in the shower, in the cold bath, in the open air, and sometimes when going back and forth between saunas. A similar item is the sauna hat, which is only worn in the sauna room.

[0019] Figure 2 shows a view of the headgear worn from an oblique angle. The ventilation hole A is located at the crown of the head.

[0020] The A vent is a ventilation hole to prevent moisture from sweat and hair after shampooing from being trapped in the head for a long time along with the sauna heat. For people with long hair, heat and moisture tend to accumulate in the head, so by putting your hair in a ponytail and letting it out through the vent while taking an outdoor bath, you can expect a greater effect in cooling the heat that tends to be trapped by your hair.

[0021] FIG. 3 shows the headgear worn when the overlapping face mask parts are all lowered and spread out starting from the folded parts.

[0022] The face mask portion is 1.5 times thicker than the main body of the device excluding the overlapping parts, which is expected to help block hot air from the nose and mouth and make breathing easier.

[0023] Figure 4 (first position) is a view from the side when the headgear is worn. The face mask part will be described as being in the first position when it overlaps from the forehead to the back of the head. There are points B and C in the overlapping part, and the shape is changed from the first position to the second position by holding these points with both hands.

[0024] Fig. 4 (second position) is a side view of the headgear worn on the head. The second position is when point C in the first position is grasped with both hands and pulled down to the chin. By grasping point B in the second position with both hands and pulling it up, the headgear can be returned to the first position.

[0025] As shown in Figure 4, the mask can be easily raised and lowered, and can be quickly and efficiently changed from protecting only the main body of the hair to protecting the hair and face, without any parts, buttons or fasteners, and in less than a second. [Explanation of symbols]
