Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a shape-maintenance cap that solves problems in the conventional art. The cap is made of a thin material like EVA or sponge, and it has the ability to maintain its original shape even when subjected to external impact. This cap design not only provides better protection and impact absorption but also enhances the esthetic appearance of the cap. Additionally, the cap is lightweight and comfortable to wear, providing a better user experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional cap has a problem in that when a user carries a cap in a hand or a certain impact is applied to an outer side of a cap, a crown part covering the top of a user's head easily sinks, as a result of which the whole portions of the crown part of a cap fails to keep its original shape, which makes the cap look bad.
In case that a shape-maintenance member is provided in the crown part, a user may feel an increased load in a head and a neck because the shape-maintenance member is further added, and it takes a longer time to manufacture such caps along with complicated manufacture processes.
In case that a wire is inserted into between the panels, the inserted wire may protrude out of the panels, which increases dangers.
However, the above mentioned cap has problems in that the exterior may look bad because of the increased thickness of the sponge, and it is impossible to satisfy the user who regards the cap as part of the fashion.
