Description

Technology Field

[0001] The invention relates to a light-blocking device that is detachably mounted on a hat, and more specifically, to a detachable light-blocking device for a hat that is coupled to the brim of the hat and can effectively block sunlight incident on the side of the wearer's face that is not blocked by the brim of the hat, and can variably adjust the light-blocking angle and light-blocking range according to the user's wearing environment. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, hats are equipped with a brim to block sunlight, but the brim is mainly limited to blocking sunlight from the front, and there is a problem in that the side of the wearer's face, temples, and neck area are exposed when the sun is low or sunlight is incident from the side.

[0004] To address this, a hat has been proposed in which the brim is formed 360 degrees along the wearer's head circumference; however, such a hat has a fixed brim shape, which results in a monotonous design and aesthetic limitations, and also has limitations in terms of comfort and usability when applied to everyday fashion hats or sports hats.

[0005] In addition, due to their structural characteristics, this 360-degree brim structure cannot be applied to general cap-type hats where the brim is formed only at the front, which presents a problem in that it is difficult to use universally on various types of hats. Meanwhile, although shading members that can be detachably mounted on hats have been proposed, conventional shading devices have problems such as a limited shading range, a structure that makes it difficult to adjust the shading angle according to the wearer's face shape or the direction of sunlight, a complex attachment structure to the hat that makes detachment inconvenient or reduces mounting stability, or the inability to adjust the length of the shading member, making it difficult to shield the back of the neck.

[0006] In particular, conventional technology had limitations in that it was difficult to finely adjust the position and length of the shading member according to the usage environment, making it unable to flexibly respond to various wearing situations such as walking, driving, and outdoor activities.

[0008] Republic of Korea Published Patent Application No. 10-2005-0027463 (Hat-mounted sunshade clip, published March 21, 2005) The problem to be solved

[0009] The present invention was devised to solve the problems of the conventional technology described above, and aims to provide a sunshade device for a hat that can be selectively attached and detached regardless of the type or shape of the hat, and can effectively block sunlight incident from various directions, including the side of the wearer's face.

[0010] In addition, another purpose is to improve wearing convenience and usability by allowing the shading direction and range to be flexibly adjusted according to the wearer's wearing environment or preference.

[0011] Furthermore, another objective is to satisfy both functionality and aesthetics simultaneously by providing additional sun-blocking capabilities without significantly altering the appearance or design of the hat. means of solving the problem

[0013] The detachable light-blocking device for a hat according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a clip member detachably coupled to the brim of the hat; a cylindrical connecting member coupled to the clip member and cut along the longitudinal direction of one side; a supporting extension member formed in a cylindrical shape and press-fitted into the cut surface of the connecting member, with cut slots formed along the longitudinal direction at both ends; and a light-blocking member comprising a light-blocking film that passes through the cut slots, is mounted on the supporting extension member, and is configured to adjust the orientation angle according to the rotation of the supporting extension member to block sunlight incident on the side of the wearer's face.

[0014] The clip member is characterized by comprising an elastic part and handle parts and press-fit parts on both sides relative to the elastic part, such that when the handle part is pressed, the press-fit parts spread apart, and when the external force is removed, they elastically restore to a compressed state, and the light-blocking member is formed with a through hole corresponding to the shape of the handle part so as to exclude interference when the user grips the handle part.

[0015] The above-described support extension member is formed with a clip coupling portion mounted on the above-described connecting member and a light-blocking coupling portion extending to both sides centered on the clip coupling portion, wherein one side and the other side of the light-blocking member are coupled, and further provided with a stopper between the clip coupling portion and the light-blocking coupling portion to restrict longitudinal movement of the above-described connecting member.

[0016] The rear interior of the support extension member is characterized by having a plurality of expandable unit members formed by overlapping with each other in a state of being inserted, and further having a length adjustment member that extends sequentially as the expandable unit members are drawn out in the longitudinal direction.

[0017] The invention is further characterized by having a light-blocking expansion member, wherein one end and the other end are respectively connected to the expansion unit members on the front and rear sides, and the expansion is made expandable according to the expansion of a plurality of overlapping fold lines, thereby allowing the light-blocking range to be adjusted. Effects of the invention

[0019] According to the present invention, an additional light-blocking function can be provided without changing the structure or shape of the hat through a light-blocking device that is detachably coupled to the brim of the hat, so that it can be widely applied to various types of hats.

[0020] In addition, since the orientation angle of the light-blocking member is configured to be adjustable, sunlight incident from various directions, including the side of the wearer's face, can be selectively blocked according to the wearing environment, thereby improving light-blocking efficiency in actual usage environments.

[0021] In addition, by being configured to selectively expand or contract the shading range, it provides convenient shading in general daily environments, and effectively shades a wider area during strong sunlight or prolonged outdoor activities, thereby increasing usability.

[0022] Furthermore, the sunshade can be easily detached when necessary, making storage and portability convenient, and when not in use, it has the effect of maintaining aesthetics without compromising the appearance of the hat. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0025] The present invention relates to a detachable light-blocking device for a hat that is attached to the brim of the hat and can effectively block sunlight incident on the side of the wearer's face that is not blocked by the brim, and allows the angle and range of light blocking to be variably adjusted according to the user's wearing environment. The technical features include providing an additional light-blocking function without changing the structure or shape of the hat by being detachably attached to the brim, and allowing the orientation angle and range of light blocking of the light-blocking member to be selectively adjusted according to the wearing environment, thereby enabling application to various types of hats and improving usability and light-blocking efficiency by efficiently blocking sunlight from various directions, including the side of the face.

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention having the aforementioned features will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0030] The detachable light-blocking device for a hat according to the present invention comprises a clip member (100), a connecting member (200), a supporting extension member (300), and a light-blocking member (400).

[0031] First, the clip member (100) is formed to be detachably coupled to the brim of a hat and elastically coupled to the brim of the hat, and is configured so that the user can easily attach and detach it without a separate tool.

[0032] At this time, the clip member (100) may be formed to include a handle portion (110) and a press-fit coupling portion (120) on both sides centered on an elastic portion (not shown), and when a user presses the handle portion (110), the press-fit coupling portion (120) opens up, making it easy to attach to the brim of a hat, and when the external force is removed, the press-fit coupling portion (120) closes again due to the restoring force of the elastic portion (not shown) so that it can be stably fixed. Accordingly, the light-blocking device of the present invention has the advantage of not easily detaching even with external impact or movement while being worn.

[0033] In addition, the elastic force of the elastic part (not shown) and the shape of the press-fit part (120) can be set so that the clip member (100) can be stably coupled to the brims of various hats having different thicknesses or materials, and accordingly, it can be widely applied to fabric brims, plastic brims, or brims made of composite materials. Furthermore, an irregularity or friction part to prevent slipping can be formed on the inner surface of the press-fit part (120), so that the coupled state can be stably maintained even if repetitive movement or external impact is applied while wearing.

[0035] The above connecting member (200) is a component that is coupled to the clip member (100) and performs the function of supporting the light-blocking member (400), and may be formed in a cylindrical shape that is cut along the longitudinal direction of one side. This connecting member (200) is provided with a cut surface (210) so that a supporting connecting member (200) described later can be press-fitted, and is designed to be rotatable and maintain a constant position through coupling with the supporting connecting member (200).

[0036] At this time, the cut structure of the connecting member (200) elastically opens and then restores during the process of the support extension member (300) being pressed in, thereby providing continuous elastic pressure in a direction surrounding the support extension member (300). Accordingly, the support extension member (300) can rotate freely while preventing the orientation angle from changing arbitrarily during use, so that the light-blocking angle set by the wearer can be stably maintained.

[0038] The above support extension member (300) is formed in a cylindrical shape and is pressed into the cut surface (210) of the connecting member (200) and mounted so as to be surrounded inside the connecting member (200). At this time, the shape of the internal space communicating with the cut surface (210) of the connecting member (200) is also formed to correspond to the shape of the cylindrical support extension member (300), so that the support extension member (300) is placed in the internal space of the connecting member (200) and is provided in a state where elastic pressure is applied. When a user rotates the support extension member (300), if a force exceeding the frictional force between the circumferential surface of the support extension member (300) and the inner surface of the connecting member (200) is applied, the support extension member (300) rotates.

[0039] This rotational structure ensures that the support extension member (300) forms a semi-fixed rotational structure accompanied by a constant frictional force, rather than being in a completely fluid state relative to the connecting member (200), so that the orientation angle changes only when the user intentionally applies rotational force. Accordingly, the position of the light-blocking member (400) does not easily change due to minute vibrations or external forces caused by walking or activity while wearing, so a stable light-blocking state can be maintained.

[0040] Additionally, cut slots (310) may be formed along the longitudinal direction at both ends of the support extension member (300). These cut slots (310) provide a space through which the light-blocking member (400) is mounted, and at the same time, serve to improve the coupling stability between the support extension member (300) and the light-blocking member (400).

[0041] Due to this coupling structure, the light-blocking member (400) can be quickly attached to or detached from the support extension member (300) without the need for a separate tool, and structural damage or a decrease in coupling strength is minimized even during repeated attachment and detachment processes. Therefore, the user can easily replace or store the light-blocking member (400).

[0042] In addition, the support extension member (300) is rotatably coupled to the connecting member (200), thereby allowing the wearer to adjust the orientation angle of the light-blocking member (400) as needed.

[0044] The light-blocking member (400) is configured to include a light-blocking film (410) and is mounted by passing through the cut slot (310) of the support extension member (300), thereby allowing the orientation angle to be adjusted as it rotates together with the rotation of the support extension member (300). Accordingly, the wearer can effectively block sunlight from various directions, including the side of the face, by adjusting the position of the light-blocking member (400) according to the direction of incidence of sunlight or the activity environment. At this time, a coupling aid (430) is further provided at both ends of the light-blocking member (400) to press and open the cut slot (310) of the support extension member (300), and then is fixed by being placed on a mounting groove that penetrates and communicates with the cut slot (310) of the support extension member (300).

[0046] Meanwhile, a through hole (420) corresponding to the handle portion (110) of the clip member (100) may be formed in the light-blocking member (400). This through hole (420) is intended to minimize interference with the light-blocking member (400) when a user grips the handle portion (110) of the clip member (100) to perform mounting or detachment operations, thereby further improving ease of use.

[0047] According to another embodiment, the support extension member (300) may be formed to include a clip coupling part (320) mounted on the connecting member (200) and a light-blocking coupling part (330) that extends to both sides centered on the clip coupling part (320) and is coupled to one side and the other side of the light-blocking member (400), respectively. At this time, a coupling projection is formed in the longitudinal direction on one end and the other end of the light-blocking member (400) so that it can be inserted and coupled in a sliding manner into a coupling groove or coupling guide corresponding to the light-blocking coupling part (330), thereby stably maintaining the mounting position of the light-blocking member (400).

[0048] In addition, a stopper (340) is further provided between the clip coupling part (320) and the light-blocking coupling part (330) to restrict the longitudinal movement of the support extension member (300) relative to the connecting member (200), thereby ensuring structural stability during use.

[0049] Additionally, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a length adjustment member (500) may be further provided inside the rear side of the support extension member (300). The length adjustment member (500) is formed by overlapping a plurality of elastic unit members (510) inserted into each other, and when a user applies an extension force, the elastic unit members (510) can be extended by being sequentially pulled out in the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, the position of the light-blocking member (400) can be extended further rearward from the side of the face, thereby expanding the light-blocking range to the neck area or the rear area of ​​the face.

[0050] Additionally, the above-mentioned expandable unit members (510) are formed to have different diameters from one another, so that the diameter gradually decreases from the front expandable unit member (510) to the rear expandable unit member (510). Accordingly, the plurality of expandable unit members (510) can maintain a stable state of being inserted and overlapped without interference with one another, and can be extended smoothly without getting stuck or twisted when pulled out. Furthermore, a friction part or friction surface that provides a certain frictional force can be formed between the above-mentioned expandable unit members (510), thereby preventing the extension length arbitrarily set by the user from naturally contracting due to external force or gravity. Due to this friction structure, the length adjustment member (500) can stably maintain the length state set by the user without a separate fixing means. Additionally, a stopper or a stepped structure may be further formed at the final withdrawal position of the above-mentioned expansion unit member (510), thereby preventing the expansion unit member (510) from being excessively withdrawn and separated. Accordingly, structural reliability can be ensured even when repeated expansion movements are performed, and the effect of improved durability is provided even during long-term use.

[0052] Meanwhile, the length adjustment member (500) can be configured to be mostly stored inside the support extension member (300) when fully contracted, so that when not in use, the external protrusion is minimized and does not interfere with the wearer's field of vision or activities.

[0053] Furthermore, a light-blocking expansion member (600) may be attached to the front and rear expansion unit members (510) of the length adjustment member (500). The light-blocking expansion member (600) is formed by including multiple overlapping fold lines (610), and the light-blocking area may be expanded or reduced depending on whether the fold lines (610) are unfolded or folded. Through this light-blocking expansion member (600), the present invention provides simple light blocking in everyday environments and enables effective blocking of a wider area during strong sunlight or prolonged outdoor activities.

[0055] Additionally, the light-blocking expansion member (600) may have a structure in which a plurality of pleat lines (610) are continuously formed from the front to the rear direction, and the arrangement direction and spacing of the pleat lines (610) may be set so that the light-blocking area is uniformly expanded when the light-blocking is expanded. Accordingly, when the light-blocking expansion member (600) is unfolded, the phenomenon of only specific parts becoming excessively stretched or sagging is suppressed, thereby maintaining a stable light-blocking shape. Furthermore, the light-blocking expansion member (600) may be configured to automatically unfold in conjunction with the extension length of the elastic unit member (510), and when the length adjustment member (500) contracts, the pleat lines (610) may naturally fold and be restored to their original overlapping state. Due to this interconnected structure, the user can intuitively adjust the light-blocking range without any separate operation. Additionally, the light-blocking extension member (600) may be formed from a translucent or colored light-blocking film (410) material, and by applying a material having UV blocking performance, it can provide an effect of preventing skin damage caused by UV rays beyond simple blocking of visible light. If necessary, the light-blocking extension member (600) may be formed into multiple areas with different light-blocking densities, allowing for selective light blocking according to the wearing environment. Meanwhile, a magnet, hook, or fixing member may be further provided on a part of the end or pleat line (610) of the light-blocking extension member (600), so as to prevent it from being arbitrarily folded or shaken by the wind while fully unfolded. Accordingly, a stable light-blocking state can be maintained even during outdoor activities.

[0057] The detachable sunshade device for a hat according to the present invention, configured as described above, can effectively block sunlight of various directions and ranges without altering the design or structure of the hat, and provides a sunshade function that is flexibly adjustable according to the user's wearing environment and needs, thereby providing the effect of significantly improving wearing convenience and usability.
