[0014] Hereinafter, a hat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. Note that the following embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment. In these figures, the symbol X indicates a hat. In these figures, hidden lines are indicated by thick dashed lines, and fixed parts by sewing are indicated by thin lines.

[0015] 1, the hat X includes a main body 1 and an adjustment part 2 attached to the main body 1. The type of hat X is arbitrary. The hat X may be a cap, a hat, or a sun visor.

[0016] The main body 1 is a part that covers at least a part of the user's head during use, and forms an opening through which the user's head passes, and a space that is continuous with the opening and that contains at least a part of the user's head. The size of the main body 1 is determined based on the inner circumference of the main body 1. The inner circumference and height of the main body 1 are set arbitrarily taking into account the shape of the user's head. For example, the inner circumference of the main body 1 is set in the range of about 50-65 cm, and the height of the main body is set in the range of about 5-15 cm.

[0017] The adjustment part 2 is a band-like or string-like member overall, and is provided along the circumferential direction of the main body part 1. Preferably, the adjustment part 2 is attached near the opening of the main body part 1. The adjustment part 2 may be attached to the rear part, side part, or front part of the main body part 1. The adjustment part 2 is configured so that the overall length can be changed, and this makes it possible to change the size of the main body part 1 (the inner circumference of the main body part 1).

[0018] The adjustment portion 2 has a main portion 21 and an expandable portion 22 connected to the main portion 21. The main portion 21 and the expandable portion 22 may be configured integrally or separately.

[0019] The main part 21 is provided with a mechanism similar to a size adjustment mechanism in a normal hat, and is configured to be able to adjust and fix the overall length of the adjustment part 2. In this embodiment, a buckle mechanism is used for this mechanism. That is, the main part 21 includes a buckle 211 and a belt 212. Other mechanisms such as a hook mechanism (an engagement mechanism using a hole and a protrusion), a rail mechanism (an engagement mechanism using unevenness of a rail and unevenness of a slider), a hook and loop fastener mechanism, etc. may also be used for this mechanism.

[0020] The stretchable portion 22 includes an elastic cord 221. In this embodiment, a type of elastic cord, called a cork rubber, is used for the elastic cord 221. The elastic cord 221 is a soft elastic cord (having a small spring constant), and in particular, the elastic cord 221 is an elastic cord with a sufficiently short width. For example, the elastic cord 221 is an elastic cord with a width of about 3-10 mm, preferably about 5-8 mm. In this embodiment, the elastic cord 221 is an 8-cork rubber. The elastic cord 221 is configured so that the upper limit of the elasticity is sufficiently small, and in particular, the length of the elastic cord 221 is set to be sufficiently short. For example, the length of the elastic cord 221 is set in the range of about 2-5 cm, preferably in the range of about 3-4 cm, and as a result, the upper limit of the elasticity of the elastic cord 221 is about 0.5-1.5 cm.

[0021] In this embodiment, the stretchable portion 22 includes a belt 222 that contains an elastic cord 221. Both ends of the elastic cord 221 are fixed to the belt 222. The belt 222 is provided so that the fabric is packed in a wavy manner around the elastic cord 221, and is configured so that the packing of the fabric is released in conjunction with the stretching of the elastic cord 221. The belt 222 is configured integrally with the belt 212, and together they form a single belt component A. In other words, the main portion 21 and the stretchable portion 22 are connected by the belt component A.

[0022] The hat X can be manufactured by attaching the adjustment part 2 to the main body part 1. Here, the adjustment part 2 can be manufactured by passing the belt structure A through the buckle 211, and the belt structure A can be manufactured by carrying out the following steps in order.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2, in the first step, a strip-shaped fabric A1 is prepared. Any fabric material may be used for the fabric A1, but in this embodiment, cotton washi paper is used. In this embodiment, a strip-shaped interlining A2 is prepared together with the strip-shaped fabric A1. The interlining A2 is formed to be smaller in length and width than the fabric A1.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 3, in the second step, the fabric A1 is folded from both sides in the width direction, and an elastic cord A3 is sewn to one end side of the fabric A1. In this embodiment, the fabric A1 is folded so as to enclose the interlining A2. In this embodiment, the elastic cord A3 is obtained by cutting an 8-cord rubber into a length of about 7 cm, and is sewn to a position about 4 cm from one end of the fabric A1.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 4, in the third step, the fabric A1 is folded in half in the longitudinal direction, and three sides except for the side from which the elastic cord A3 protrudes are sewn, and the elastic cord 221 is can-fastened to the fabric A1. In this embodiment, the elastic cord A3 is can-fastened at the sewing position of the elastic cord A3 in the second step. Through the second and third steps, one end of the elastic cord A3 is fixed to the fabric A1.

[0026] 5, in the fourth step, fabric A1 is stuffed around elastic cord A3, and the side where elastic cord A3 protrudes is sewn. In this embodiment, fabric A1 is stuffed by about 1 cm, resulting in an elastic cord 221 with a length of about 3 cm being enclosed within fabric A1. In this embodiment, the stuffed portion of fabric A1 is arranged in a wavy shape.

[0027] 6, in the fifth step, the side of the elastic cord A3 protruding from the fabric A1 is cut. Through the fourth and fifth steps, the other end of the elastic cord A3 is fixed to the fabric A1.

[0028] The user of the hat X uses the main portion 21 to adjust the size of the hat X to fit the user's head, and then puts on the hat X. At this time, the stretchable portion 22 stretches slightly, thereby fixing the hat X to the head. Here, the tightening force of the stretchable portion 22 is sufficiently weak, suppressing the occurrence of headaches in the user and improving the fit and comfort of the hat. In addition, the upper limit of the stretch amount of the stretchable portion 22 is small, preventing an increase in the tightening force. For the hat X manufactured by the above process, the upper limit of the stretch amount of the stretchable portion 22 is approximately 1 cm.

[0029] The shapes and dimensions of each component shown in the above embodiment are merely examples and can be modified in various ways based on design requirements, etc. In particular, in the above embodiment, the load on the main body 1 is small, so there are many options for materials that can be used for the main body 1. In addition, there are many options for size adjustment mechanisms that can be used for the main portion 21. [Explanation of symbols]
