[0067] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following drawings, in order to simplify the explanation, the same reference numerals are assigned to components, portions that play the same role, and repeated explanation is omitted or simplified. In addition, the dimensional relationship (length, width, thickness, etc.) in each drawing sometimes does not necessarily accurately reflect the actual dimensional relationship. However, there are cases in which the dimensional relationship is made consistent in a prescribed drawing, in which case, six views can be derived from the dimensional, positional relationship of each drawing. Furthermore, since it is a cap, the thickness is often set to a prescribed thickness and ignored in the six views, so that the shape and structure can be grasped.

[0068] In addition, matters not specifically mentioned in the present specification and required for practicing the present application are design matters that can be grasped by those skilled in the art based on the existing technology in the art. The present application can be practiced based on the content disclosed in the present specification and the accompanying drawings and the technical common sense in the art. Furthermore, the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0069] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cap 100 according to the present embodiment, as viewed from the lower side. In addition, Figure 2 is a view (front view) of the cap 100 according to the present embodiment, as viewed from the front side, and Figure 3 is a view (top view) of the cap 100 according to the present embodiment, as viewed from the upper side.

[0070] The cap 100 according to the present embodiment is worn on the head and includes a cap main body portion 10 that covers the head. A head pattern portion 20 is formed on the cap main body portion 10. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 indicated, the head pattern portion 20 extends along the center line (C) of the head. The head pattern portion 20 is constituted by a tape (21) attached to at least one of the back surface (12) and the surface (11) of the cap main body portion 10. Furthermore, the tape (21) of the head pattern portion 20 contains a mineral. The tape (21) according to the present embodiment is constituted by cloth (cloth of a natural material or cloth of a synthetic fiber), and the mineral is wrapped inside the tape (21) or dispersed in the tape (21).

[0071] The cap main body 10 of the present embodiment is not easily removed from the head like a swim cap, and has a substantially semispherical or semioval shape. In addition, the cap main body 10 is composed of a material having stretchability. In the illustrated example, the head pattern portion 20 is formed on the back surface of the cap main body 10. In addition, the head pattern portion 20 of the present embodiment has a rectangular shape. The outer edges (left and right) 22 that define the shape of the head pattern portion 20 are linear, and the head pattern portion 20 extends from one end to the other end of the back surface 12 of the cap main body 10. The head pattern portion 20 is formed in a manner symmetrical with respect to the center line (C) of the head. In the example of the present embodiment, the head pattern portion 20 is fixed to the back surface of the cap main body 10 by sewing.

[0072] In addition, in the configuration of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the edge portion (opening edge portion) 13 that defines the opening portion 15 of the head pattern portion 20 is a rubber portion 29. By the rubber portion 29, the cap 100 can be firmly fixed to the head of the user. The rubber portion 29 can be formed by processing the cloth of the edge portion 13 region of the cap main body 10 into a hollow structure and threading a rubber fiber (rubber cord) therethrough. In addition, the rubber portion 29 can be manufactured by mounting (fixing) a raw material composed of a rubber material (rubber linear member, rubber cord member) to the edge portion 13 of the cap main body 10.

[0073] In the example of the present embodiment, a mesh portion 25 extending along the center line (C) of the head is formed on the cap main body 10. Furthermore, the head pattern portion 20 is formed in the center of the mesh portion 25. Specifically, the head pattern portion 20 is formed in the central region on the inner surface (12) side of the mesh portion 25. In the example shown in Figure 1 , the head pattern portion 20 is formed on the inner surface (12) of the mesh portion 25 of the cap main body 10. In this example, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the width W2 of the mesh portion 25 is wider than the width Wl of the head pattern portion 20. Therefore, as shown in Figure 1 , the blank mesh portion 25 (25a, 25b) is located outside the outer edge (boundary line 22) of the head pattern portion 20. The region 28 in which the mesh portion 25 is not formed in the cap main body 10 is located outside the mesh portion 25 (25a, 25b). By the presence of the mesh portion 25 in the central portion of the cap main body 10, heat (sweat, etc.) from the head of the user is easily released to the outside atmosphere. In addition, the cap main body 10 can be formed as a whole (i.e., including the region 28) as the mesh portion 25, or the mesh portion 25 can not be provided and the head pattern portion 20 can be formed on the cap main body 10.

[0074] The head pattern portion 20 of the present embodiment contains a mineral (powder). In one example, a mineral (a mineral called a so-called energy stone (e.g., a radium ore, germanium, crystal, terahertz ore, tourmaline, etc.), or a mixture of a plurality of minerals) having a particle size of 325 mesh (about 44 μm) is imparted to the head pattern portion 20. In addition, an additive other than the mineral (powder) can also be added. As the mineral (powder), at least one mineral (or a mixed ore powder of two or more) selected from a radium ore, germanium, crystal, terahertz ore, and tourmaline can be used.

[0075] The raw material constituting the hat body portion 10 of the present embodiment is typically a cloth material (particularly, a cloth material suitable for a hat) used as clothing, and has a stretchability suitable as a hat. In addition, the stretchability here refers to a characteristic suitable as a hat (clothing), and does not particularly require a restoring force like rubber (an elastomer). The raw material (cloth material) constituting the hat body portion 10 can be exemplified by a synthetic fiber material (e.g., nylon, polyurethane, etc.), a natural fiber material (e.g., a cotton material (cotton), a silk material (silk), etc.), a blended synthetic fiber material (e.g., a mixed material of nylon and polyurethane, etc.), or a mixed material of a natural fiber material and a synthetic fiber material (e.g., a blend of cotton and polyurethane, etc.), a plurality of mixed materials (e.g., a natural fiber material (cotton, etc.) / nylon / polyurethane material, a rayon material / acrylic material / polyester material, an acrylic material / polyester material / rayon material / polyurethane material, etc.).

[0076] In addition, when the tape 21 constituting the head pattern portion 20 is a cloth material (here, cotton (e.g., 40s cotton)), it is preferable to sew and attach (fix) the tape 21 to the hat body portion 10 so as to prevent the tape 21 from falling off or shifting. In addition, a heat-sensitive adhesive (or an ironing adhesive) can be applied to a cloth surface in contact (fixed or bonded) with the surface (here, the inner surface) of the hat body portion 10 (clothing), and the tape can be attached (bonded and fixed) to the hat body portion 10 (clothing body portion) by heating with a heater (here, an iron). In addition, sewing with a thread is more convenient after bonding and fixing by ironing. Furthermore, even if washing is performed, the tape 21 does not fall off or shift, and thus the tape can be sewn and attached (fixed) to the hat body portion 10.

[0077] The width Wl of the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) of the present embodiment is, for example, 3 mm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, 25 mm ± 5 mm, or about 10 mm to 30 mm). In addition, the width W2 of the net portion 25 is, for example, 80 mm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, 65 mm ± 10 mm). In addition, the height H of the cap main body portion 10 is, for example, 20 cm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, about 15 cm ± 5 cm). The size W3 (short side diameter) of the cap main body portion 10 is 25 cm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, about 20 cm ± 5 cm). The size L (long side diameter) of the cap main body portion 10 is, for example, 30 cm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, about 22 cm ± 5 cm). The width of the rubber portion 29 is, for example, 10 mm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, about 5 mm to 8 mm). However, these sizes (for example, Wl of the head pattern portion 20) are not limited thereto, and can exceed the upper limit value or be lower than the lower limit value as long as the effects can be exerted.

[0078] Figure 4 An example of the configuration of the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) of the present embodiment is shown. In the present example, one end (one side) 31 of the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) is positioned on the front head side, and the other end (the other side) 32 of the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) is positioned on the rear head side. In the present example, the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) is formed in a shape in which the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) is bent at the one end (one side) 31 and the other end (the other side) 32. Figure 4 In the configuration example shown, the mineral contained in the head pattern portion 20 is present in the form of a pattern 30 of a design imparted by printing. Specifically, regarding the mineral, for example, a powder of at least one mineral (or a mixed mineral powder of two or more) selected from among a radium ore, germanium, crystal, terahertz ore, and tourmaline is mixed in ink, and the mineral-containing ink is imparted to the tape 21 by printing. The pattern 30 of the mineral imparted by printing has a geometric shape, a design, a character, or a pattern shape compounded from these. In the present embodiment, the pattern 30 of the mineral is not limited to a specific shape, and can be a geometric shape such as a circle (including an ellipse, an oblong), a polygonal shape such as a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon, a hexagon, a star, or a design such as a wave, a spiral, a vine design, a checkered design, a floral design, an animal design, a landscape design, or a human design. In addition, the pattern 30 of the mineral can be a character such as a letter, a number, a symbol, a Japanese character, a Chinese character, or a Korean character. The pattern 30 of the mineral can be arranged in an orderly and regular manner, or can be arranged irregularly. In addition, in the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) of the present embodiment, the mineral (the powder) can be mixed (or impregnated) in the entire tape 21, or the mineral can be added in a state in which the mineral (the powder) is mixed (or impregnated) in the inside (a hole) of the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) of the present embodiment. Figure 4 In the example shown, the ore pattern 30 is a quadrangle (for example, a rhombus), but can be formed in a pattern other than this. The ore pattern 30 can also be a geometric shape such as a circle (including an ellipse, an oblong), a hexagon, or a star, or can be a design such as a wave, a spiral, a vine design, a checkered design, a floral design, an animal design, a landscape design, or a human design. The ore pattern 30 can also be a character such as a letter, a number, a symbol, a Japanese character, a Chinese character, or a Korean character. The ore pattern 30 is more beautiful when arranged in an orderly and regular manner, and is thus preferred, but can be arranged irregularly. In addition, in the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) of the present embodiment, the mineral (the powder) can be mixed (or impregnated) in the entire tape 21, or the mineral can be added in a state in which the mineral (the powder) is mixed (or impregnated) in the inside (a hole) of the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) of the present embodiment.

[0079] Figure 5 Muscles of the head 90 are schematically shown. As the muscles of the head, there are (1) frontalis, (2) temporalis, (3) galea aponeurotica, (4) occipitalis, (5) masseter. The bones of the head 90 (skull) are located outside the muscles of the head 90. Figure 6 The bones of the head 90 are schematically shown as the bones of the head 90 (skull), showing the frontal bone, the temporal bone, the parietal bone, the occipital bone, the zygomatic bone. Figure 7 (a) and (b) in FIG. 10 schematically show the appearance of the skull opening (expansion) and closing (contraction), respectively.

[0080] The skull is composed of the occipital bone, the sphenoid bone, the temporal bone, the frontal bone, and the parietal bone, and all of the bones are immovably joined except for the mandible and the hyoid bone. Here, the facial bones are omitted and only the bones of the top of the skull are described, and there are many sutures in the head. Although the sutures are immovably joined in most descriptions, there is a slight expansion or contraction at the local sutures. The hat 100 of the present embodiment generates a function based on the expansion or contraction of the sutures, and by the presence of the head pattern portion 20 on the hat 100, the return flow of the cerebrospinal fluid can be promoted. The cerebrospinal fluid is filled not only in the brain but also in the spinal canal, and the spinal nerve roots extend in the canal, and the hat 100 of the present embodiment is able to improve the motor function (body function and even flexibility) because the transmission of the pyramidal system and the extrapyramidal system becomes smooth.

[0081] Here, the description is further continued on the premise that the human body can move smoothly and freely by the muscles as a quasi-fluid structure. This smooth and free movement also needs to be achieved by the movement of the human skeleton. The movement of the skeleton is based on the structural tilting pressure by the corrected center of gravity support with respect to the movement from above. Here, Figure 7The expansion and contraction of the skull shown in (a) and (b) in the above is linked to the movement of the diaphragm (muscle), that is, synchronized with breathing. The diaphragm is moved by inhalation and exhalation, and, of course, the inclination of the bone is changed by the linkage of the muscle, thereby moving the skull. Further explanation, when the diaphragm is moved by breathing, the ilium is linked thereto and is forward-rotated (the ilium is rolled inward) or backward-rotated (the ilium is opened outward) in correspondence with breathing. Then, in correspondence with the action of the pelvis, the suture of the skull is expanded or contracted to fine-tune the center of gravity balance. Of course, there is also a movement of the reverse path. Therefore, the skull causes the suture to make a fine movement. In healthy movement, when the pelvis is opened (particularly the ilium), the skull is contracted, and when the pelvis is closed (particularly the ilium), the skull is expanded. In unhealthy movement, if the pelvis and the skull take the rhythm of expansion / contraction at the same timing in synchronization, various functional disorders occur in sports physiology. The human body often makes a fine movement (particularly, here, the movement of the skull, the ilium) by breathing. Moreover, the hat 100 of the present embodiment is able to adjust this movement to an appropriate movement.

[0082] The hat 100 of the present embodiment includes a head pattern portion 20 extending along a center line (C) of the head, and the presence of the head pattern portion 20 can promote the reflux of cerebrospinal fluid, and in addition, adjusting the skull and ilium can optimize the balance of the center of gravity, whereby the physical function or even the flexibility of the wearer (user) wearing the hat 100 can be improved. Furthermore, direct tape attachment to the body is often used by athletes, and has the effect of protecting muscles, and the technology of the present embodiment is to use a weaker stimulus with respect to the strong stimulus of direct tape attachment, and is called so-called non-contact type indirect tape attachment. Also, a difference in skin touch and the like characteristics (difference in touch, flexibility, stretchability, surface smoothness, and the like characteristics of the raw material) occurs at the cloth portion of the hat main body portion 10 and the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21), and it is considered that the difference in characteristics can activate the prescribed portion and support athletic ability. Furthermore, even if the difference in characteristics is small, the head pattern portion 20 does not strongly stimulate the prescribed portion to thereby exert the effect of improving athletic ability, (the body is a collection of highly sensitive sensors) and as long as it becomes a trigger for stimulation, even if the difference in characteristics due to the presence or absence of the head pattern portion 20 is small, it can exert the effect of improving athletic ability. Also, as shown by the fact that acupuncture or moxibustion performed on the head can affect the body, the hat 100 of the present embodiment can improve the physical function or even the flexibility of the wearer by simply being worn on the head. In addition, by mixing minerals in the tape 21, the influence (for example, negative ions, terahertz waves, static electricity, far infrared rays, excitement effects, and the like) from the minerals can possibly produce stimulation, whereby it is possible to enhance the effect of the hat 100 of the present embodiment. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of non-contact type indirect tape attachment (or the viewpoint of the vector of the cranial suture, the viewpoint of the stimulating tape), it is preferable that the hat 100 of the present embodiment not form the head pattern portion 20 as a whole of the hat main body portion 10, but that there be a region (for example, the region 28) in which the head pattern portion 20 is not present. Further explanation, in view of the above, the head pattern portion 20 in the hat 100 of the present embodiment is formed so as to extend along the center line (C) of the hat main body portion 10.

[0083] Next, the hat 100 of the present embodiment can be changed as shown in Figure 8 . Figure 8 The configuration of the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) in the modified example of the hat 100 of the present embodiment is schematically shown. Furthermore, in the head pattern portion 20 (the tape 21) shown in Figure 8 , the above-mentioned minerals (ores) can also be mixed, but sometimes such minerals (ores) are not mixed.

[0084] In Figure 8One region (here, a region around the end 31 of the front head side) of the head pattern portion 20 (the strip 21) shown is formed with a first pad 51 composed of a first metal (here, gold). Also, another region (here, a region around the end 32 of the rear head side) of the head pattern portion 20 (the strip 21) is formed with a second pad 52 composed of a second metal (here, silver). The first pad (gold pad) 51 and the second pad (silver pad) 52 are arranged in pairs from the length direction of the head pattern portion 20 (the strip 21).

[0085] In the illustrated example, in one region (the region around the end 31 of the front head side), the first pad (gold pad) 51 and the second pad (silver pad) 52 are arranged alternately. Specifically, they are arranged in the order of the first pad (gold pad) 51, the second pad (silver pad) 52, and the first pad (gold pad) 51. Also, in another region (the region around the end 32 of the rear head side), the second pad (silver pad) 52 and the first pad (gold pad) 51 are arranged alternately. Specifically, they are arranged in the order of the second pad (silver pad) 52, the first pad (gold pad) 51, and the second pad (silver pad) 52.

[0086] Figure 9 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the first pad (gold pad) 51 and the second pad (silver pad) 52. Here, a weak electric current flows in the human body, and a magnetic field is generated around the human body. In the configuration of the present embodiment, as shown by the arrow 59, free electrons (or biophotons) are guided from the first pad (gold pad) 51 toward the second pad (silver pad) 52, a magnetic field (arrow 53) from the first pad (gold pad) 51 toward the second pad (silver pad) 52 is formed, and the magnetic field of the human body can be adjusted. Further, in the illustrated example, the flow of the magnetic field (arrow 54) from the end 31 of the front head side toward the front head side merges with the Ren channel of traditional Chinese medicine. Also, the flow of the magnetic field (arrow 54) from the end 32 of the rear head side toward the rear head side merges with the Bladder meridian of traditional Chinese medicine. From the magnetic point of view, the first pad (gold pad) 51 corresponds to the S pole of a magnet, and from the magnetic point of view, the second pad (silver pad) 52 corresponds to the N pole of a magnet. In the region between the first pad (gold pad) 51 and the second pad (silver pad) 52, as an interference wave of the N pole and the S pole, a region (55) in which a zero magnetic field is substantially generated is generated. If this interference wave (region 55) is generated, a three-dimensional axial vector is formed, and the reflux of the cerebrospinal fluid is promoted, and thus this is preferable. Figure 8 In the illustrated example, the flow of the magnetic field (arrow 54) from the end 31 of the front head side toward the front head side merges with the Ren channel of traditional Chinese medicine. Also, the flow of the magnetic field (arrow 54) from the end 32 of the rear head side toward the rear head side merges with the Bladder meridian of traditional Chinese medicine. From the magnetic point of view, the first pad (gold pad) 51 corresponds to the S pole of a magnet, and from the magnetic point of view, the second pad (silver pad) 52 corresponds to the N pole of a magnet. In the region between the first pad (gold pad) 51 and the second pad (silver pad) 52, as an interference wave of the N pole and the S pole, a region (55) in which a zero magnetic field is substantially generated is generated. If this interference wave (region 55) is generated, a three-dimensional axial vector is formed, and the reflux of the cerebrospinal fluid is promoted, and thus this is preferable.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first pad (gold pad) 51 and the second pad (silver pad) 52 are circular, but they can also be other shapes (e.g., elliptical, oblong, quadrilateral, hexagonal, etc.). The number of the first pad (gold pad) 51 and the second pad (silver pad) 52 can also be appropriately chosen. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first pad 51 is set as a gold pad and the second pad 52 as a silver pad, but it is not limited to this and can be a combination of other dissimilar metals. Such a combination of dissimilar metals generates a magnetic flow (arrow 53, etc.) from the first pad 51 toward the second pad 52 when the hat 100 of this embodiment is worn on the head 90. Examples of such a combination of dissimilar metals include, for example, a combination of zinc / copper (equivalent to the S pole) and aluminum (equivalent to the N pole). Alternatively, a combination of brass (an alloy of copper and zinc) and aluminum (100% aluminum metal) can be used. In addition, examples include combinations of nickel brass (an alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel) and aluminum, cupronickel (an alloy mainly composed of copper and containing 10% to 30% nickel) and aluminum, and combinations of copper and aluminum.

[0088] <Example>

[0089] Next, the effects of the embodiment when wearing the hat 100 of this embodiment will be specifically described. Figure 10 The test results show the body function / flexibility when wearing the hat 100. Furthermore, Figure 11 (a) and (b) in the figure show the forward bend with and without a hat 100. Figure 12 (a) and (b) in the figure show the standing long jump with and without a hat. Figure 13 (a) and (b) in the figure show the back arm swing with or without a hat 100. Figure 14 (a) and (b) in the figure show the upper body leaning back with or without a hat.

[0090] Figure 10 This table shows the results before and after the subjects wore the hat 100 of this embodiment ("before wearing" in the comparative example) and after wearing it ("after wearing" in the embodiment). The subjects were 11 people, No.1 to No.11.

[0091] like Figure 11 As shown in (a) and (b), "forward flexion" refers to the angle during forward flexion (and the change before and after). "Forward flexion" is the angle in the posture analysis report obtained by image capture and analysis using a posture analysis application (Android smartphone app) manufactured by SysNavia Co., Ltd., to ensure greater objectivity compared to manual measurement. The results of forward flexion clearly and intuitively reflect flexibility, compared to the comparative example. Figure 11 Compared to (a), in the embodiment Figure 11An improvement in softness can be clearly observed in (b). Figure 10 As shown in the table, the average value (cm) of the comparative examples was 4.7, but the average value (cm) of the examples was 0.4, showing a significant result of -4.3 (cm), indicating a significant improvement in softness.

[0092] exist Figure 12 In (a) and (b), the standing long jump from a stationary standing position is shown. The result of the standing long jump clearly demonstrates the improvement in athletic characteristics (athletic ability), compared to the comparative example. Figure 12 Compared to (a), in the embodiment Figure 12 An improvement in motor characteristics (motor ability) can be clearly observed in (b). Figure 10 As shown in the table, the average value (cm) of the comparative examples was 143.7, but the average value (cm) of the examples was 153.1, showing a significant result of +8.7 (cm), indicating a significant improvement in motion characteristics (motor ability).

[0093] exist Figure 13 In (a) and (b), the appearance of the backward arm is shown. "Backward arm" refers to the dimensions in the posture analysis report obtained by using image capture and analysis with a posture analysis application to ensure objectivity compared to manual measurement. The results of the backward arm movement clearly demonstrate flexibility, compared to the comparative example. Figure 13 Compared to (a), in the embodiment Figure 13 An improvement in softness can be clearly observed in (b). Figure 10 As shown in the table, the average value (cm) of the comparative examples was 33.3, but the average value (cm) of the examples was 18.8, showing a significant result of -14.5 (cm), indicating a significant improvement in softness.

[0094] exist Figure 14 In (a) and (b), the upper body is shown leaning back. The upper body leaning back is a dimension measured using image capture and analysis via posture analysis applications to ensure objectivity compared to measurements taken manually. The results of the upper body leaning back clearly demonstrate flexibility, compared to the comparative example. Figure 14 Compared to (a), in the embodiment Figure 14 An improvement in softness can be clearly observed in (b). Figure 11 As shown in the table, the average value (cm) of the comparative examples was 36.7, but the average value (cm) of the examples was 42.5, showing a significant result of +5.8 (cm), indicating a significant improvement in softness.

[0095] Thus, based solely on the average of the 11 participants, improvements in flexibility and even athletic ability can be clearly confirmed. Moreover, even when considering individual participants without looking at the average, significant improvements are evident everywhere.

[0096] Figure 15 is a table showing the test results of the activity, stability, comfort, and alertness indicating the mental state (emotion) when the hat 100 is worn. That is, Figure 16 "activity", "stability", "comfort", and "alertness" in are index items (two-dimensional emotion scale) that cannot be captured from the numbers of the improvement in the exercise ability. This "two-dimensional emotion scale" is based on the paper of "Psychological effects of wearing exercise tight clothing" of the Journal of the Sports Center of the University of Law and Politics 30, 29-34 (2012) (Nakazawa Fumiaki (University of Law and Politics) et al.). The questionnaire survey of the two-dimensional emotion scale (calculation formula of the items) is shown in Figure 15 .

[0097] Even from the results of "activity", "stability", "comfort", and "alertness" in Figures 1 to 3 , the activity was improved by an average of 1.6 points, the stability was improved by an average of 1.3 points, the comfort was improved by an average of 4.0 points, and the alertness was improved by an average of 1.5 points, and the scores of all items were improved. Therefore, from the two-dimensional emotion scale, it can also be confirmed that the hat 100 of the present embodiment has an effect.

[0098] Next, a modified example of the hat 100 of the present embodiment will be described. In the hat 100 shown in Figure 17 , the head pattern portion 20 is constructed by the tape 21, but the head pattern portion 20 can be composed of an ink printed pattern containing a powder of a mineral.

[0099] In a preferred example of this modified example, the ink printed pattern constituting the head pattern portion 20 is formed by screen printing. In the case of the ink printed pattern, it is more suitable for manufacturing by printing (particularly, by screen printing) whether it is small-lot production or mass production, and also, it is possible to suppress the manufacturing cost. Furthermore, in the case of the tape, it is sometimes peeled off if washing or the like is repeated, and in order to prevent this, it is preferable to sew the tape to the shirt with a thread, but this leads to an increase in the manufacturing cost. In contrast to this, in the case where the hat 100 of the present embodiment constitutes the head pattern portion 20 with the ink printed pattern, the peeling of the tape is less likely to occur, it is possible to make it durable, and since there is no need for the work of sewing with a thread, it is possible to suppress the manufacturing cost. In addition, in the case where the head pattern portion 20 is composed of the ink printed pattern, since it is easy to perform printing, it is preferable not to provide the net portion 25 at the central portion of the hat main body portion 10. In addition, there is no particular problem in providing the net portion 25 at the portion other than the portion where the head pattern portion 20 (ink printed pattern) is formed.

[0100] As the ink used for printing leggings in screen printing, plastisol (ink), water-based rubber (ink) can be cited. In a factory where a large amount of printing (300 or more of mass production cases) is performed, plastisol is mostly used, and in a factory of a medium scale (about 50 of small-lot cases), water-based ink is mostly used. Further, in the hat (hat 100) of the present embodiment, screen printing is used, but as long as the effects of the hat (hat 100) of the present embodiment can be obtained, other printing (for example, inkjet direct printing, etc.) can be used. In addition, a mineral (powder) is mixed in the ink for printing (ink for printing a hat) of the present embodiment. In one example, the ink for printing of the present embodiment is adjusted in concentration in a range of mixing 0.1 g to 0.5 g of each (in one example, one, two, or three) of a mineral having a particle size of 325 mesh (about 44 micrometers) (so-called mineral called energy stone (for example, radium ore, germanium, quartz, terahertz ore, tourmaline, etc.), or a mixture of a plurality of minerals) per 500 square centimeters of ink. Further, 500 square centimeters of ink is an area corresponding to the printing area of one hat. Further, the concentration is one example, and the concentration adjusted to an appropriate concentration can be appropriately changed according to the use conditions. In addition, an additive other than the mineral (powder) can be added. As the powder of the mineral, a powder of at least one mineral selected from radium ore, germanium, quartz, terahertz ore, and tourmaline (or a mixed ore powder of two or more) can be used.

[0101] Further, by generating a difference in the characteristics (difference in tactile sensation, softness, stretchability, surface smoothness, and the like of the material characteristics) of the skin touch and the like at the cloth portion and the printed portion (head pattern portion 20) of the hat main body portion 10, the difference in the characteristics can activate the prescribed portion to support (reinforce, increase) the softness / motor ability. Further, even if the difference in the characteristics is small, the ink printed pattern (head pattern portion 20) does not support the prescribed portion to play a role in improving the motor ability, (the body is a collection of highly sensitive sensors) as long as it becomes a trigger for stimulation, even if the difference in the characteristics due to the presence or absence of the ink printed pattern is small, but it can play a role in improving the softness / motor ability. Also, as shown by the fact that acupuncture or moxibustion performed on the head can affect the body, the hat 100 of the present embodiment can improve the body function of the wearer and even the softness just by being worn on the head. In addition, by mixing a mineral in the ink printed pattern (head pattern portion 20), the influence (for example, negative ions, terahertz waves, static electricity, far infrared rays, excitatory effects, etc.) from the mineral is likely to stimulate the prescribed portion, and thus, it is likely to enhance the effects of the hat 100 of the present embodiment.

[0102] Next, referring to Figures 1 to 3 Further modified examples of the hat 100 of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the following modified examples are described. Figure 17In the shown cap 100, a head pattern portion 20 is formed in a rectangular shape, but as shown in Figure 17 The head pattern portion 20 can also be constructed by providing mineral blocks 23 on at least one of the back surface 12 and the front surface 11 of the cap main body portion 10. The mineral blocks 23 can be arranged in multiple numbers along the center line (C) of the head. In the configuration of the present embodiment, the mineral blocks 23 constituting the head pattern portion 20 are formed in a symmetrical manner along the center line (C) of the head.

[0103] In Figure 18 In the shown example, the mineral blocks 23 are formed on the back surface 12 of the cap main body portion 10. The mineral blocks 23 in this example are circular members in which minerals are housed inside. Further, the mineral blocks 23 can also be in a shape other than circular (for example, quadrangular, hexagonal, etc.), but are preferably circular in most cases. In the shown example, the mineral blocks 23 are arranged at equal intervals along the center line (C) of the head. The mineral blocks 23 have portions 24 in which minerals (for example, mineral blocks, powder of minerals, objects made by making powder of minerals into blocks) are fixed inside. Figures 1 to 2 is an enlarged view showing the structure of the mineral blocks 23, and the portions 24 in which minerals are fixed inside extend to the surroundings in a manner of covering the mineral blocks 23. The portions 24 in which minerals are fixed inside are, for example, crimped (welded or adhered) and fixed to the back surface 12 of the cap main body portion 10 in a manner of covering the mineral blocks 23. Further, the minerals in the mineral blocks 23 are minerals (for example, radium ore, germanium, crystal, terahertz ore, tourmaline, etc.) called so-called energy stones as described above, or a mixture of multiple kinds of minerals.

[0104] The above describes the present application by preferred embodiments, but the above description is not limiting, and various changes can of course be made. The configuration or method of the above embodiments or modified examples can be applied to each other. In the present embodiment, the case where the cap main body portion 10 (cap 100) is formed in a structure and shape of a swim cap with the point of being able to be firmly worn is described, but can also be a cap having a brim. In particular, when a cap (cap) having a brim is preferred when playing golf, etc., the design can be changed to such. Or, it is not prohibited to wear another cap while wearing the cap 100 like a swim cap. It can be used not only as a cap for use on land but also as a swim cap. Further, as long as the effects of the softness, etc. of the embodiments of the present application can be surely obtained, the head pattern portion 20 can be formed not on the back surface 12 but on the front surface 11 of the cap main body portion 10, or can be formed on both of the back surface 12 and the front surface 11 of the cap main body portion 10. Further, in the above description, the case where the cap 100 is formed in a structure and shape of a swim cap is described, but the cap 100 can also be a cap having a brim. ​In the head pattern portion 20 shown, a head pattern portion of a rectangular shape (or substantially rectangular shape) is shown, but the outer edges (left and right) 22 that define the shape of the head pattern portion 20 can also not be straight (curved, wavy, etc.). In addition to this, appropriate changes can also be made as appropriate.
