[0028] As Figures 1-8As shown in the embodiments of this application, a swimming cap is provided, including a cap body 1 and an elastic head cover 2. The walls of the cap body 1 can at least partially cover the volume of the head; the elastic head cover 2 includes a tubular structure 23, which is a stretchable mesh-like flexible fabric. The tubular structure 23 being a mesh-like fabric helps to easily gather the hair, reducing hair loosening during wear, ensuring the hair is neatly wrapped inside the swimming cap, reducing pressure on the scalp, and improving wearing comfort. The tensile force of the mesh structure can directly and effectively gather the hair easily, making the wearing process smoother, avoiding hair pulling, reducing hair breakage or tangling, and preventing loosening. The elastic head cover 2 allows long-haired swimmers to easily put their hair inside the swimming cap, reducing the feeling of hair restraint, making the head lines smoother, and the mesh-like flexible fabric improves breathability, reducing the feeling of stuffiness on the head. The elastic head cover 2 has a first end 21 and a second end 22 passing through the tubular structure 23, both of which have elastic annular structures. The second end 22 helps to separate the hair from the face and gather the hair in the tubular structure 23, preventing hair from coming out of the second end 22 of the elastic ring structure and improving the effectiveness of hair tying. The elastic hairnet 2 makes the swimming cap wearing process simpler and faster, especially for swimmers with long hair, and can be easily put on without additional tools or skills. The elastic hairnet 2 is made of flexible fabric that can neatly and comfortably wrap around the head, with strong wrapping, a more snug fit, and smoother lines, making the cap body 1 fit the head lines better afterward.
[0029] The cap body 1 is connected to the elastic head cover 2 to form a one-piece swimming cap, ensuring that the swimming cap remains stable during swimming and reducing the possibility of the swimming cap falling off due to water flow impact.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, during the preparation stage, the cap 1 is placed behind the head. The elastic hair cover 2 is first put on the neck from the top of the head. At this time, the second end 22 is below and the first end 21 is above. At the same time, all the hair is pulled out from the first end 21 and spread out behind the head.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the hairpiece 2 is initially positioned and pulled above the ear. The first end 21 is away from the ear, and the second end 22 is close to the ear, with a portion of the hair being secured inside the elastic hairpiece 2.
[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, lift the first end 21 of the elastic hair cover 2 and comb the hair from the first end 21 into the interior of the elastic hair cover 2 to ensure that all the hair is wrapped inside the elastic hair cover 2.
[0033] like Figure 6As shown, the hair is fixed. The tubular structure 23 comprises a first portion 210 near the first end 21 and a second portion 220 near the second end 22. The junction of the first portion 210 and the second portion 220 is twisted so that the user's hair is retained inside the second portion 220. The hair is effectively managed, reducing the feeling of restraint when swimming. The wearing process of the swimming cap is more convenient and fast, especially for long hair swimmers, without the need for additional tools or skills.
[0034] As shown, Figure 7 the first end 21 of the tubular structure 23 can be reversed and sleeved back to the user's head, and the first portion 210 can wrap at least part of the second portion 220. Alternatively, as shown, Figure 8 the first portion 210 can wrap the second portion 220 entirely inside it.
[0035] As shown, Figure 8 Finally, the cap body 1 is sleeved outside the tubular structure 23, and the cap body 1 and the tubular structure 23 are ensured to be in close contact with each other. The cap body 1 has a rim 13 around the annular opening end of the head, and the rim 13 has a elastic structure. It helps the swimming cap to better fit the head, improves the comfort of wearing, and at the same time ensures that the hair is effectively wrapped inside the swimming cap, reducing the situation of hair falling. It makes the swimming cap easier to wear, especially for long hair swimmers, without the need for additional tools or skills.
[0036] In some embodiments, the rim 13 is connected to the second end 22 by the fabric 3. It helps to ensure that the swimming cap remains stable during swimming, reducing the risk of the swimming cap falling off the head.
[0037] In some embodiments, the fabric 3 is one or several of the following fabrics: woven fabric, elastic fabric, label fabric, silicone, thread, etc. These materials can fixedly connect the cap body 1 of the swimming cap and the elastic hair cover 2.
[0038] In some embodiments, the tubular structure 23 is a stretchable and flexible fabric, which helps to better adapt to different head shapes and hair styles, ensuring that the swimming cap is more comfortable when worn.
[0039] The cap body 1 comprises an inner wall 12 facing the head and an outer wall 11 facing away from the head. When the surrounding wall of the cap body 1 wraps the head, the inner wall 12 can be in close contact with the outer surface of the first portion 210 outside the user's head. It ensures that the cap body 1 of the swimming cap is closely attached to the head, reducing discomfort.
[0040] When using, pay attention to ensure that the hair is completely placed inside the elastic hair cover 1, and avoid the hair from falling outside. During wearing, pay attention not to pull the hair too much to avoid discomfort. Ensure that the first end 21 and the second end 22 can be accurately positioned so that the hair can be effectively fixed in the elastic hair cover. After wearing, check whether the cap body 1 closely fits the head to ensure that there is no gap.
[0041] The technical solution disclosed in the embodiment avoids damage to the hair caused by pulling the hair by the hair cord, and can also fix the hair more smoothly and stably, without bulging and tightness, and the head line is more smooth, the water area is reduced, and the resistance is effectively reduced to enhance the propulsion efficiency. The outer elastic waterproof cap body 1 covers the elastic hair cover 2, effectively isolates the chlorine-containing swimming pool water, and avoids damage and dryness of the hair.
[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the diameter of the first end 21 is smaller than the diameter of the second end 22, and the elastic hair cover 2 has a circular truncated cone structure. The second end 22 can make the elastic hair cover 2 more easily fit into the head. Secondly, as shown in Figure 4 , the first end 21 with a smaller diameter can make the internal space of the elastic hair cover 2 gradually decrease from the second end 22 to the first end 21, so that the contact area between the inner wall of the elastic hair cover 2 and the head becomes larger. When combing the hair into the interior of the elastic hair cover 2, the hair can be arranged between the inner wall of the elastic hair cover 2 and the head. In addition, since the diameter of the first end 21 is smaller, the hair is not easy to escape from the restraint of the elastic hair cover 2 after entering the elastic hair cover 2.
[0043] In some embodiments, the elastic hair cover 2 can also have a cylindrical structure, and the radius of the first end 21 in the tightened state is smaller than the radius of the second end 22.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 , the cap body 1 and the elastic hair cover 2 of the swimming cap of the embodiment are connected into an integrated structure by the grommet arranged on the inner side of the edge portion 13 and the annular structure of the second end 22.
[0045] As shown in Figure 9 , the embodiment of the application discloses a swimming cap, which comprises a cap body 1 and an elastic hair cover 2 which are independent of each other, that is, the cap body 1 and the elastic hair cover 2 are in a separated structure.
[0046] The specific wearing operation steps are as follows:
[0047] The first step is the preparation stage; as shown in Figure 2 , the cap body 1 is placed behind the head, the elastic hair cover 2 is first sleeved from the top of the head to the neck, at this time the second end 22 is located below and the first end 21 is located above, and the hair is pulled out from the first end 21 and scattered behind the head.
[0048] The second step is preliminary positioning; as shown in Figure 3As shown, the elastic hair cover 2 is pulled above the ear. At this time, the first end 21 is away from the ear and has already touched the hair. The second end 22 is wrapped around the head and is closer to the ear.
[0049] The third step is to style your hair; for example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, comb all the hair into the interior of the elastic hair cover 2 from the first end 21, pull the first end 21 upwards and ensure that no hair is left at the first end 21.
[0050] Step four, secure the hair; as follows Figure 6 As shown, the tubular structure 23 rotates between its first part 210 and second part 220, with the hair remaining inside the second part 220.
[0051] Step 5: Complete the fixation; such as Figure 7 As shown, the first end 21 is flipped over and put back on the head, so that the first end 21 gradually approaches the second end 22, and the tubular structure 23 on the head forms a double-layer net.
[0052] Step 6, put on the hat body 1; as shown Figure 8 As shown, the cap body 1 is then placed over the head circumference to ensure that the cap body 1 fits the head and the edge 13 is close to the head.
[0053] When using, ensure that all hair is completely inside the elastic hair cover 1 to prevent it from falling out. Avoid excessive pulling on the hair during wear to prevent discomfort. Ensure the first end 21 and the second end 22 are correctly positioned so that the hair can be effectively secured inside. After wearing, check that the cap 1 fits snugly against the head, ensuring there are no gaps.
[0054] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
