Adjustable cap seamed with silicon tape(s)

Abstract

An adjustable cap seamed with silicon tape(s) is formed of a peak, a crown portion and a sweatband which is provided on the inner side of the crown portion sewn integrally with a silicon tape inside of the lower peripheral edge portion of the crown portion, so that the lower peripheral edge portion can be freely stretched with even gathers formed thereon. Given that the crown portion is made of non-stretchable fabrics which are relatively economical than those stretchable, the cap with stretchable lower peripheral edge not only can fit a range of head sizes, but also can efficiently reduce the production cost.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Application of the Invention [0002] The present invention generally relates to an adjustable cap seamed with silicon tape(s), particularly to a crown portion made of non-stretchable fabrics, with a sweatband and a silicon tape sewn together on the inner side of the lower peripheral edge portion, so that the gathers can evenly form on the lower peripheral edge portion. While the cap is being worn, the lower peripheral edge can be freely stretchable to fit a range of head sizes. [0003] 2. Brief of the Prior Art [0004] Conventionally, caps include fixed-size caps and adjustable caps. While fixed-size caps require a various sizes of caps to fit wears' different head sizes, the production cost is considerably high. For adjustable caps, generally either an adjustable fastening device or a stretchable band is provided on the rear portion of the crown to increase the range of cap sizes. However, such designs can only increase the size in the rear porti...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] One of the object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable cap which is formed of a sweatband and a silicon tape sewn together inside of the lower peripheral edge portion of the crown portion to form a peripheral band. With the freely adjustable silicon tape provided, the sweatband and the crown portion can be made of non-stretchable material without affecting the function of freely adjusting the cap and with the production cost considerably reduced.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objects, the invention is provided inside of the lower peripheral edge portion with a sweatband sewn together with a silicon tape, and the crown portion is made of non-stretchable material. The silicon tape creates gathers on the lower peripheral edge portion, which can be freely stretchable to flat depending on various head sizes, so that the adjustable cap seamed with silicon tape(s) can be adjustable to fit a range of head sizes and thereby reducing the production cost and increasing the application of the cap. Wherein the sweatband is optionally stretchable or non-stretchable.

Problems solved by technology

While fixed-size caps require a various sizes of caps to fit wears' different head sizes, the production cost is considerably high.

However, such designs can only increase the size in the rear portion of the crown portion, and either a bump formed on the opening of the rear crown or the odd length of the adjusting fastener (i.e. overly short or long) would affect the aesthetic effect of the cap.

In addition, the adjustable caps of prior art can only limitedly fit certain wears' head sizes.

However, the provision of the stretchable elements 61 raises the production cost.
