Wig and Method of Manufacturing the Same

Abstract

By determining the total tying amount of the hair to be short hair 3 and long hair 4 to a wig base 2 to a pre-determined density, and further determining the tying ratio of short and long hairs 3 and 4 to the pre-determined ratio, after tying long hair to be short hair first to a wig base 2 in said pre-determined ratio, and cutting to a pre-determined length to make short hair 3, and next tying long hair to be long hair 4 among the tied short hair 3, and cutting to a pre-determined length to make long hair 4, short and long hairs 3 and 4 can be tied in the pre-determined hair amount, and moreover, short and long hairs 3 and 4 can be tied by controlling to the pre-determined mixing ratio, thereby a wig of a rich bulkiness owing to standing of long hair 4 supported by short hair 3 can be obtained.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] This invention relates to a wig capable of providing bulky appearance enough with a small amount of hair tied on a wig base, tying a certain amount of hair to a wig base at a pre-determined density by accurate control, and mixing long and short hairs uniformly by controlling to a pre-determined proportion, and to a method of manufacturing the same. BACKGROUND ART [0002] A wig with natural appearance by changing the lengths of hair tied to a wig base has been known. Such a wig 20 is made, for example as shown in FIG. 8, with a network formed with filaments 24 as a net base, and by attaching to said net base long hair 30a, short hair 30b, and the hair of the length in between 30c. This hair is knotted to the net-shaped filament 24 to form knots 26. The wig 20 shown in FIG. 8 has hairs of unequal lengths, sizes, and the colors so that it attains natural hair appearance (See Patent Reference 1.). [0003] In order to attain natural hair appearance, Patent Reference ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0026] According to the wig of the present invention, a quite excellent wig can be provided with good hair standing and bulkiness by tying short and long hairs to a wig base by controlling the mixing ratio to a pre-determined value.

[0027] According to a method of manufacturing a wig of the present invention, easily tiable long hair is tied by controlling to a pre-determined ratio, and thereafter short hair is formed by cutting it, so that a wig with short and long hairs can be easily manufactured in short time.

[0028] Further according to the present invention, the hair density (the number of strands of hairs) of tying to a wig base can be determined to a pre-determined density at each part of a wig base upon the wig designing. Also, short and long hairs can be tied in a pre-determined mixing ratio and at strictly controlled tying positions. Therefore, tying work can be efficiently conducted, as well as a plurality of wigs can be provided which are mutually identical in the amount and distribution of hairs, and practically identical in hair standing and external appearance. Therefore, a wig wearer can possess identical wigs as reserves.

[0029] According to the present invention, the hair amount to be tied to a wig base can be strictly controlled to a desired value upon the wig designing depending upon the state of hair thinning, or upon consultation with the wearer, and the distribution of long and short hairs or the short hair lengths can be designed and adjusted arbitrarily and at will along the result of consultation with the wearer and the preferred design, resulting in the manufacture of wigs along the wearer's detailed needs.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is difficult to attain bulkiness caused by the standing hair, and also the wig base is visible if the tied amount is small.

However, if a whole length of human or artificial hair to be tied is short, then tying work becomes extremely tricky, especially for curly or frizzle hair, the work time is long, and the productivity lowers.

Especially, since it is impossible for any skilled professionals to tie hair shorter than 5 cm to a wig base, it is necessary to tie long hair and cut to about 1-3 cm each time, resulting in extreme inefficiency.
