Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a support mainly used in head-mounted items such as hats and headphones, specifically a linkage-type top head support that can prevent head-mounted items from flattening hair. Background Technology
[0002] In modern life and work, people often use hats, headphones, and other head-mounted items that bear weight on their heads, which are typically worn directly on the head. After prolonged periods of this pressure, hair often becomes flattened when these items are removed. To address this, some have tried adjusting the wearing position, increasing the size, or adding padding. However, existing methods only alleviate the pressure temporarily and do not completely solve the problem. Furthermore, these methods can lead to issues such as poor stability, poor breathability, and discomfort.
[0003] A search revealed a prior art patent, titled "Hat Without Pressure Marks on Forehead and Hair," publication number 1555233. This patent describes a hat that leaves no pressure marks on the forehead and hair. However, the pressure points of this hat are several elastic protrusions with fixed positions and shapes. For heads that are not absolutely uniform in shape and size, and when the wearing position shifts, the fixed elastic protrusions cannot distribute the pressure appropriately and evenly, resulting in concentrated or uneven pressure at the pressure points, thus causing discomfort.
[0004] The applicant's prior application, "Headband Soft Support Frame", patent number 2017100,0189.6, consists of soft comb teeth and support arms connected to both ends of the soft comb teeth. The drawback is that the shape of the soft comb teeth cannot fit the top of the head properly and completely, resulting in uneven pressure distribution, which can easily cause discomfort. In addition, it still leaves some pressure marks on the hair and has poor stability.
[0005] There is an urgent need for a product that can completely solve the above problems, so that headbands will no longer flatten hair, eliminate discomfort, and have better stability and breathability. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention provides a linkage head support that not only prevents headwear from flattening hair and maintains even pressure distribution to eliminate discomfort, but also has better stability and breathability.
[0007] The technical solution of this invention is:
[0008] A linkage-type head support includes multiple lever-shaped comb teeth, a top frame, and a soft headband. The lever-shaped comb teeth consist of an upper comb tooth root, a middle comb tooth, and a lower comb inlet. The comb tooth root has a fulcrum hole and a coiling hole. The top frame passes through the fulcrum hole at the comb tooth root to connect the lever-shaped comb teeth, so that the multiple lever-shaped comb teeth are distributed in a circular shape. The soft headband passes through the coiling hole at the comb tooth root.
[0009] The root of the lever-type comb tooth is inclined inward relative to the comb tooth, the coiling hole is located at the lower end of the root of the comb tooth, and the fulcrum hole is located above the coiling hole.
[0010] The root of the lever-type comb tooth is inclined outward relative to the comb tooth, the fulcrum hole is located at the upper end of the root of the comb tooth, and the circling hole is located at the lower end of the root of the comb tooth.
[0011] The root of the lever-type comb teeth is not inclined relative to the comb teeth, the fulcrum hole is located at the upper end of the root of the comb teeth, and the coiling hole is located at the lower end of the root of the comb teeth.
[0012] It also includes a soft ring with a shaped hole at the root of the comb teeth. The shaped hole is located at the upper end of the root of the comb teeth, and the soft ring passes through multiple shaped holes at the root of the comb teeth.
[0013] The inlet end of the lever-type comb teeth is inclined outward relative to the comb teeth, and a soft rubber body is inlaid at the inlet end.
[0014] The comb teeth have a closed top and a downward-open middle section extending to the bottom.
[0015] The root of the comb teeth has a closed structure.
[0016] A baffle is fixed on the top frame between the lever-type comb teeth.
[0017] The top frame and soft comb between the lever-type comb teeth are fixed with baffles.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0019] 1. The support frame of this application uses multiple lever-shaped comb teeth arranged in a circular pattern. In use, the headband is connected to the top frame, and both the headband and the support frame are worn on the head. The process of the circular lever-shaped comb teeth falling down and contacting the hair roots is the process of the support frame supporting the top of the head. The relatively fine lever-shaped comb teeth contact the hair roots point-by-point from top to bottom through the hair parting without causing visible damage or indentations to the hair. Moreover, because the lever-shaped comb teeth have a certain height, they provide sufficient space to support the hair, thus effectively preventing the headband from flattening the hair.
[0020] 2. The lever-type comb teeth of the bracket in this application are connected to the bracket, soft comb and soft ring. The lever-type comb teeth with the ring shape can automatically conform to the shape of the top of the head at any time and can always maintain even pressure distribution, avoiding discomfort caused by uneven pressure or pressure concentration, thus eliminating discomfort.
[0021] 3. The lever-type comb teeth of this application are looped around the top of the head, providing stable support and conforming to the shape of the head, thus providing better stability.
[0022] 4. The lever-type comb teeth of this application provide a certain space for the hair, so that the normal heat dissipation and ventilation function of the hair is no longer inhibited by the head-mounted item, thus its breathability is better. Attached Figure Description
[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the linkage-type headrest of the present invention.
[0024] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another type of linked headrest. Detailed Implementation
[0025] In existing technologies, after wearing heavy objects such as hats or headphones for a long time, the hair becomes flattened and feels stuffy and uncomfortable after removing the hats or headphones.
[0026] To address the aforementioned problems, this application presents a linked headrest, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0027] A linkage-type head support includes multiple lever-shaped comb teeth 1, a top frame 2, and a soft baffle 3. Each lever-shaped comb tooth consists of an upper comb tooth root 4, a middle comb tooth 5, and a lower comb-in end 6. The comb tooth root 4 has a fulcrum hole 7 and a coiling hole 8. The top frame 2 passes through the fulcrum hole 7 at the comb tooth root, connecting the lever-shaped comb teeth 1 so that the multiple lever-shaped comb teeth 1 are arranged in a circular pattern. The soft baffle 3 passes through the coiling hole 8 at the comb tooth root, further linking the multiple lever-shaped comb teeth in a circular linkage configuration. The comb-in end 6 of each lever-shaped comb tooth 1 is inclined outward relative to the comb tooth 5, and a soft rubber material is inlaid at the comb-in end 6.
[0028] Specifically, when the root 4 of the lever-type comb teeth 1 is inclined inward relative to the comb teeth 5, the coiling hole 8 is at the lower end of the root 4, and the fulcrum hole 7 is above the coiling hole, with the optimal solution being in the middle of the root 4. It also includes a flexible ring 11, with a closing hole 9 at the upper end of the root 4, and the flexible ring 11 passes through multiple closing holes 9 in the root 4. A spacer 10 is fixed to the top frame between the lever-type comb teeth, or spacers 10 are fixed to both the top frame and the flexible ring 3.
[0029] Specifically, when the root 4 of the lever-shaped comb teeth 1 is inclined outward relative to the comb teeth 5, the fulcrum hole 7 is at the upper end of the root of the comb teeth, and the coiling hole 8 is at the lower end of the root of the comb teeth. A partition 10 is fixed on the top frame between the lever-shaped comb teeth, or a partition 10 is fixed on both the top frame and the soft coil.
[0030] Specifically, when the root 4 of the lever-shaped comb teeth 1 is not inclined relative to the comb teeth 5, that is, when the root 4 and the comb teeth 5 are on a straight line, the fulcrum hole 7 is at the upper end of the root of the comb teeth, and the coiling hole 8 is at the lower end of the root of the comb teeth. A partition 10 is fixed on the top frame 2 between the lever-shaped comb teeth, or a partition 10 is fixed on both the top frame and the soft coil.
[0031] The comb tooth root 4 structure can be a closed structure at the top, an open structure extending downwards from the middle to the bottom. The comb tooth root can also be a closed structure.
[0032] See Figure 1 The linkage head support described in this application mainly includes multiple lever-type comb teeth 1, a top frame 2, and a soft headband 3. The lever-type comb teeth are composed of the upper comb tooth root 4, the middle comb tooth 5, and the lower comb inlet 6. The comb tooth root 4 is provided with a fulcrum hole 7, a coiling hole 8, and a closing hole 9. Multiple lever-type comb teeth 1 are connected to the top frame 2 through the fulcrum hole 7 on the comb tooth root (the connection mentioned in this article refers to the perforated, rotatable connection). The soft headband 3 connects multiple lever-type comb teeth one by one on the lower outer side of the top frame 2 through the coiling hole 8 on the comb tooth root (the comb tooth root is inclined inward relative to the comb tooth), so that multiple lever-type comb teeth are coiled into a linked circular shape.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lever-type comb teeth 1 are made of engineering plastic and have lever characteristics. They have a certain thickness and are used to comb the hair to the roots and support the top frame 2. The top frame 2 is a rigid circular frame that is arranged in a ring and connects the fulcrum holes 7 of the lever-type comb teeth. It can evenly connect multiple lever-type comb teeth 1 in a ring and is used to connect the headwear (the top frame is the part that directly connects the support to the headwear and directly bears the entire weight of the headwear). In order to ensure that the lever-type comb teeth are evenly connected to the top frame, that is, to evenly limit the spacing and lateral displacement between the lever-type comb teeth, uniformly fixed partitions 10 are provided on the top frame 2 (the partitions and the top frame can be integrally formed).
[0034] The soft coil 3 is a resilient and tensile-resistant soft ring that connects to the coiling holes 8 on the lever-shaped comb teeth. It is used to flexibly constrain the range of motion of the lever-shaped comb teeth, further coiling the coiled lever-shaped comb teeth into a support structure. In this embodiment, the soft coil uses a thin and flexible nylon coil, and its coiling position is limited to the lower outer range of the top frame 2, so that the entire support looks like an inverted bowl when evenly unfolded, thus forming a stable structural state that can support the headwear. In order to maintain this evenly unfolded state under normal conditions, this embodiment provides tightening holes 9 on the fulcrum holes 7 of the lever-shaped comb teeth, corresponding to the coiling holes 8. Soft rings 11 of the same material as the soft coil 3 pass through these tightening holes 9. By appropriately tightening the soft ring 11, the lever-shaped comb teeth can be pulled to maintain an evenly unfolded state, facilitating the use of the support.
[0035] To facilitate the connection of the lever-type comb teeth with the top frame, soft collar, and soft ring, the root 4 of the lever-type comb teeth can be a "knife-gate structure," with a closed top and an open middle and lower part, i.e., from the closing hole 9 to the lower end of the comb tooth root. In use, the upper and lower parts of the comb tooth root are opened from the opening, and the soft ring, top frame, and soft collar are inserted into the corresponding holes through the opening, then glued or welded together at the opening. Alternatively, the root 4 of the lever-type comb teeth can be a closed structure, with fulcrum holes 7, collar holes 8, and closing holes 9. The corresponding top frame, soft collar, and soft ring are not closed loop structures; they are inserted into the corresponding holes and then connected into a loop shape by gluing or welding. The comb-in end 6 of the lever-type comb teeth is inclined outward relative to the comb teeth 5, and the comb-in end is inlaid with soft rubber, which helps prevent the comb-in end from piercing the scalp and improves the feel.
[0036] In addition, the lever-type comb teeth in this embodiment may not have the retractable holes 9, but instead use a soft awl made of rubber. The elasticity of the rubber material itself supports the lever-type comb teeth, maintaining their even spread, while its flexibility also constrains their movement. The top frame is a rigid carrier that connects the fulcrum holes of the lever-type comb teeth in a circular arrangement. The circular shape is not limited to a pure circle; a square, elliptical, or other closed polygonal arrangement can also be considered a circular shape. The soft awl is a flexible restraint mechanism that controls the range of motion of the lever-type comb teeth. It can be made of various materials and in various forms. To accommodate different support heights, the soft awl can be made with an adjustable length, meaning the support height can be controlled by extending or retracting the length of the soft awl.
[0037] See Figure 2This is another embodiment of the linkage-type headrest described in this application. It mainly includes multiple lever-type comb teeth 1, a top frame 2, and a soft collar 3. The lever-type comb teeth consist of an upper comb tooth root 4, a middle comb tooth 5, and a lower comb inlet end 6, and are made of bent metal material. The comb tooth root is provided with a fulcrum hole 7 and a coiling hole 8. Multiple lever-type comb teeth are connected to the top frame 2 through the fulcrum hole 7 on the comb tooth root. The soft collar 3 is made of rubber, and on the inner side of the top frame 2, multiple lever-type comb teeth are connected one by one through the coiling hole 8 on the comb tooth root (the comb tooth root is inclined outwards relative to the comb tooth), thereby coiling the multiple lever-type comb teeth into a linked, circular shape.
[0038] In this embodiment, a limiting partition 10 is also provided on the soft collar 3. Both the top frame 2 and the soft collar 3 have notches. The partition 10 and the holes on the lever-type comb teeth are connected to the top frame 2 and the soft collar 3 through these notches. After connection, the notches are closed. Since the soft collar 3 in this embodiment uses a rubber soft collar that combines elasticity and toughness, the lever-type comb teeth 1 are normally kept in a uniformly unfolded, ready-to-use state. Before using the bracket, several corresponding positions must be evenly selected in the partition 10 of the top frame 2, and they can be fixedly connected to the appropriate position on the headwear item by means of adhesive or other methods. The adaptive deformation capability of this embodiment is not as large as that of the previous embodiment in terms of amplitude range, but within a relatively small range, the usage effect of both is basically the same.
[0039] Because multiple lever-shaped comb teeth 1 are connected to the top frame 2 in a circular arrangement through fulcrum holes 7, with one end touching the hair roots, a structure resembling an inverted bowl is formed, supported by multiple levers. Furthermore, because the base of the lever-shaped comb teeth 1 is gathered by soft bands 3, the structure supported by these levers becomes a stable, circular lever assembly. Moreover, because each connection point of this lever assembly uses a rotatable perforated connection method, and based on the lever principle, the circular shape formed by the lever assembly can adapt and deform within a certain range according to its contact shape. Therefore, this structure not only fits the spherical shape of the head, but the linkage characteristic of the circular lever assembly also allows each lever-shaped comb tooth 1 to autonomously conform to the shape of the head, evenly distributing the pressure transmitted from the top frame 2 to each lever-shaped comb tooth 1, maintaining uniform pressure distribution, and thus avoiding discomfort caused by uneven or concentrated pressure.
[0040] Usage process:
[0041] Before using the bracket, several corresponding positions should be evenly selected in the partitions 10 of the top frame 2 (when the partitions are not installed, positions are evenly selected on the top frame to connect with the headwear). These positions can be fixed to the appropriate positions on the headwear using adhesive or other methods (i.e., the headwear is supported on the head by the bracket without direct contact with the head). When using the bracket, first straighten the headwear and suspend it above the head, then lower it onto the head in a normal wearing posture, ensuring the lever-shaped comb teeth 1 touch the roots of the hair, and then vibrate it twice. The process of the circularly arranged lever-shaped comb teeth 1 touching the roots of the hair is the process of the bracket supporting the head. The fine lever-shaped comb teeth, touching the roots of the hair from top to bottom through the hair gaps, will not cause visible damage or indentations to the hair. Furthermore, because the lever-shaped comb teeth 1 have a certain height, they provide space for the hair, effectively preventing the headwear from flattening the hair. Because the circular lever-type comb teeth 1 can automatically conform to the shape of the head and evenly distribute pressure, it avoids discomfort caused by uneven or concentrated pressure, thus eliminating discomfort. Since the lever-type comb teeth 1 loops around the head, providing stable support and conforming to the head's shape, its stability is better. Because the lever-type comb teeth 1 provides some space for the hair, the hair's normal heat dissipation and ventilation functions are no longer inhibited by the headband, thus improving its breathability.
[0042] For safety and ease of storage, a section of flexible, elastic material (or other elastic structure) can be embedded in the flexible, tensile-resistant bristles. This allows the bristles to extend under pressure, enabling the lever-type comb teeth to flip over, preventing them from piercing the scalp or being damaged during storage. Furthermore, a single ring of support is sufficient for lighter headwear; for heavier headwear, multiple nested or parallel rings can be used. To accommodate hairstyles such as ponytails, while the lever-type comb teeth are generally arranged in a circular pattern, certain sections can be omitted or have their shape varied. Additionally, the number of lever-type comb teeth in this application is not fixed.
