Benefits of technology

[0016]The moisture-permeable material for wigs according to the present invention, in which one side of a porous polyurethane sheet is covered with a mesh of polyester or the like, is quite superior in moisture permeability. A net member on the other side thereof where hair planting is to be effected is formed of nylon fibers, which leads to a superior durability and a superior smoothness. Thus, it is possible to provide a moisture-permeable material for wigs which, while being of a three-layer structure, is superior in moisture permeability.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, there is a problem in that it is likely to involve discomforts, such as stickiness, sweatiness, and itch, which are attributable to sweating or the like due to its poor moisture permeability.
On the other hand, there is a problem in that it only allows planting of hairs exclusively on the synthetic fiber filaments forming the mesh-like woven or knitted fabric, and that there are limitations regarding the types of styles that can be created since the number of hairs that can be planted and the distance between the planted hairs are restricted by the mesh configuration.
Generally speaking, the thinner the material, the higher the moisture permeability tends to become; on the other hand, that involves a reduction in strength; thus it is rather difficult to attain a satisfactory level in both strength and moisture permeability.
However, the above-mentioned patent documents, etc. make no specific disclosure about the strength of the material.
Further, unlike a wig for hiding thinning hair, a fashion wig involves the following problem: since it is attached to a head of a wearer having his own hair, it is necessary to collectively accommodate his own hair in the wig, so in particular, when his own hair is rather long, after the attachment of the wig, the head portion is partially bulged or, conversely, recessed.
However, the patent document makes no specific disclosure regarding the moisture permeability of the under net and the sweatiness of the head when it is worn.

example 1

[0054]As shown in FIG. 1, a hot-melt type urethane resin (manufactured by Mitsui Takeda Chemicals Inc.; product No. Takernelt MA3229K) was applied in a dotted fashion in an amount of 15 g / m2 to a surface of a porous polyurethane layer 1 prepared by the dry method, and a polyester mesh 2 (texture: tricot; blending ratio: polyester 100%; threading: 84T / 36f; course: 44 / inch; wale: 28 / inch) was laminated thereon. On the other hand, a net fiber layer 3 (texture: tricot; blending ratio: nylon 100%; threading: 66 nylon, 22T / 7f; course: 42 / inch; wale: 28 / inch) was bonded to a back surface of the porous polyurethane layer 1 by using a hot-melt type urethane resin (manufactured by Mitsui Takeda Chemicals Inc.; product No. Takernelt MA3229K) to prepare a moisture-permeable material for wigs as shown in FIG. 1. Further, a hair material was planted therein to prepare a wig. Table 1 shows physical properties and performance of the wig.

example 2

[0055]A resin solution obtained by dissolving a urethane elastomer of a thermoplastic resin (manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd.; product name code: E-985) in an organic solvent (8:2 mixture liquid of dimethyl formamide and methylethyl ketone) was applied to a male plaster mold of a head configuration, and was dried to be formed into the head configuration, thus preparing an artificial skin type wig base having a thickness of 0.2 mm.

[0056]Next, the moisture-permeable material for wigs of Example 1 was fixed to the male plaster mold by a staple by using a gun tacker such that the net layer is on the lower side, and a 30% water-soluble resin solution of polyvinyl alcohol (manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.; product name: Kranol) was applied thereto, and was then dried at 100° C. for six hours to be formed into the head configuration.

[0057]Subsequently, a moisture-permeable material for wigs formed into the head configuration was aligned with and superimposed on a wig...

[0058]A so-called net obtained by plain-weaving polyester monofilaments having a thickness of 0.10 mm in 60 meshes / inch was stretched over a male plaster mold of a head configuration so as not to involve wrinkles or sagging, and was fixed by a staple by using a gun tacker; then, a solution obtained by diluting a two-liquid type urethane thermoplastic resin (ADAPT E-No. 2 manufactured by Nissin Resin Co., Ltd.) in an organic solvent (8:2 mixture liquid of dimethyl formamide and methylethyl ketone) was applied to the net, and was heated at 100° C. for ten hours to prepare a net formed into the head configuration. The moisture-permeable material for wigs of Example 1 was formed in the same manner as in the case of the artificial skin of Example 2. After that, the net formed into the head configuration was placed in position longitudinally and laterally and then superimposed on the moisture-permeable material for wigs, formed into the head configuration. After that, as in the case of th...

Abstract

The present invention is to provide a moisture-permeable material for wigs superior in moisture permeability, helping to suppress sweatiness when worn, and allowing easy attachment. A moisture-permeable material for wigs formed in a three-layer structure, including: a core material made of a porous polyurethane; a net layer provided on a side of the core material to be brought into contact with a head and formed of synthetic fibers or natural fibers; and a fiber layer which is laminated on the other side of the core material, which is formed of the synthetic fibers or the natural fibers, and in which artificial hairs or natural hairs are to be planted.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a moisture-permeable material suitable for use in a wig endowed with both moisture permeability and durability. Further, the present invention relates to a wig or an under cap using the moisture-permeable material.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A wig to be attached to a head is formed of a wig base serving as a base formed into a head configuration and human hairs or artificial hairs planted in the wig base; as a material of the wig base, there is generally used, for example, a non-porous thermoplastic resin film made of urethane elastomer or the like, which is called an artificial skin, or a net made of a mesh-like woven or knitted fabric formed of synthetic fibers or the like. In a case of a wig base formed of a non-porous thermoplastic resin film, it is possible to freely set the number of hairs to be planted and the distance between the planted hairs, so it is advantageously possible to create a wide variety of styles. On the other hand...
