Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of infant and child bath products, and specifically relates to an infant and child bath cap. Background Technology

[0002] As a bathing tool for infants and toddlers, the purpose of a baby shower cap is to prevent children's faces from coming into contact with water and shampoo, thus solving the problem of shampoo getting into sensitive areas such as the eyes and nose during shampooing and reducing children's resistance to shampooing. Bath caps can be divided into disposable and reusable types based on their function. Reusable shower caps mainly consist of a brim and an inner ring that fits snugly against the user's head. By fitting snugly against the head, they prevent water or shampoo from flowing into the face. They are typically worn by wrapping the inner ring around the user's head and fitting it snugly against the scalp. To ensure the lifespan of the shower cap, only one type of flexible or rigid material is usually used as the base material for the full-coverage shower cap. However, using only flexible or rigid materials can easily result in indentations if the material is too hard, or insufficient support if the material is too soft, affecting wearing comfort.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, one existing children's shampoo cap includes a flexible portion of a brim made of rigid material that contacts the child's head. This flexible portion reduces discomfort caused by the rigidity of the material, while the rigid material ensures support during wear. However, the presence of the rigid material results in poor comfort when wearing the cap. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a baby bath cap. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to improve the comfort of wearing it.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a baby bath cap, including a cap body and a connector, wherein the connector is used to connect the opening at the rear end of the cap body and cooperate with the inner wall of the cap body to form a wearing space, characterized in that the cap body and the connector are two flexible materials respectively, the cap body can deform according to the different contours of the user's head, and the connector has a certain elasticity. When the bath cap is worn, the connector stretches and undergoes elastic deformation, so that the inner wall of the wearing space fits tightly with the user's head.

[0006] This application employs two flexible materials with different mechanical properties. A material with a certain degree of elasticity is used as a connector to link the end of the cap's rear opening, forming a wearing space that mates with the inside of the cap. This allows the user to place the shower cap on their forehead. Because the cap itself is also made of a flexible material, it deforms according to the shape of the head during wear, conforming closely to the user's head. By using flexible materials to avoid the impact caused by the movement of rigid materials, the wearing space formed by the cap and the head provides support and disperses the impact of water flow. The cap's main body is made of a deformable material such as EVA of a certain thickness.

[0007] In addition, by using a material with a certain degree of elasticity as the connector, the tension generated by the stretching and elastic deformation of the connector when the shower cap is worn causes a continuous inward pulling force on the opening at the rear of the main body of the cap, which causes the wearing space to shrink until the inner wall of the wearing space fits tightly against the head, preventing water or shampoo from flowing through the shower cap into the face and affecting the user experience.

[0008] It is worth mentioning that, since both the connector and the main body of the cap are made of flexible materials, and a wearing space is formed through the connector, the shower cap will not cause any foreign body sensation when worn. This is especially true when the user is an infant. Since the shape of an infant's head is not yet fully formed compared to an adult's head, and the scalp is relatively thin, the shower cap made of fully flexible materials can deform accordingly with the shape of the head, ensuring a stable fit without compressing blood vessels in the head due to the presence of hard materials.

[0009] In summary, this application utilizes a shower cap made of fully flexible material. By taking advantage of the deformation of the flexible material according to the contour of the head, the shower cap avoids compressing the head when worn. At the same time, by using two flexible materials with different performance characteristics, it ensures wearing comfort while using the tension generated by the elastic deformation of the connector to ensure that the inner wall of the wearing space can fit tightly against the head, preventing liquid from entering the face, thus improving the comfort of wearing the shower cap.

[0010] In the aforementioned baby bath cap, the main body of the cap also includes a brim located outside the fitting portion. One end of the brim extends rearward and is flush with the open end face of the fitting portion. By extending one end of the brim rearward and making it flush with the fitting portion, the support area of ​​the brim is increased during use, thereby improving stability when worn.

[0011] In the aforementioned infant bath cap, the inner side of the cap body is bent to form a fitting part, and the inner wall of the wearing space includes the fitting part. By bending the inner side of the cap body to form the fitting part, the cap body can deform accordingly with the head contour, and the connecting piece allows the fitting part to fit tightly with the head, thereby increasing the contact area with the head and improving the support for the cap body after wearing.

[0012] In the aforementioned baby bath cap, the fitting part is U-shaped, and the two ends of the connector are respectively connected to the two ends of the fitting part.

[0013] In the aforementioned baby bath cap, when the cap is worn, the fitting part is at a certain angle to the brim of the cap body.

[0014] In the aforementioned baby bath cap, the main body of the cap is formed by one-piece stamping and bending. Forming the main body of the cap by one-piece stamping and bending avoids the reduction in support strength caused by splicing multiple materials.

[0015] In the aforementioned baby bath cap, the opening at the rear end of the cap body is equal to or less than 180 degrees. By setting the opening angle of the rear end of the cap body to less than 180 degrees, it is easier to wear, and the smaller the opening angle, the stronger the support of the cap body during wear.

[0016] In the above-mentioned baby bath cap, one end of the connector is provided with a positioning part, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the opening of the main body of the cap. When the bath cap is worn, the connector undergoes elastic deformation by adjusting the relative position relationship between the connector and the positioning part.

[0017] In the aforementioned baby bath cap, the connector is provided with several adjustment holes, each of which can be inserted into the positioning part. When the bath cap is worn, one of the adjustment holes is inserted into the positioning part, thereby adjusting the relative position between the connector and the positioning part, ensuring that the inner wall of the wearing space fits snugly against the user's head. The extension length of the connector can be adjusted via the positioning part to accommodate different user head circumferences, and the tension of the connector ensures a snug fit against the head.

[0018] In the aforementioned baby bath cap, the positioning part is located at one end of the opening of the cap body.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The baby bath cap of this application is made of fully flexible material, and two flexible materials with different mechanical properties are used as connectors and the main body of the cap respectively. The tension generated by the elastic deformation of the connectors allows the fitting part to fit tightly to the head while deforming, thereby improving the wearing comfort.

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the infant bath cap consists of a cap body 1 and a connector 2. The connector 2 is located at the opening 1a1 of the cap body 1. The inner side of the cap body 1 is bent to form a fitting part 1a. The inner wall of the wearing space 4 includes the fitting part 1a. The two ends of the connector 2 are respectively fixed to the two ends at the opening 1a1 of the fitting part 1a. One end of the connector 2 is fixed to the end at the opening 1a1 of the fitting part 1a, and the other end is engaged with the positioning part 3 on the fitting part 1a through an adjustment hole 2a, thus cooperating with the inner side of the cap body 1 to form a wearing space 4 that can be placed on the user's head. In addition, regarding the specific connection structure of the connector 2, the scheme of using several adjustment holes 2a to engage with the positioning part 3 is only one specific implementation method, but it does not exclude other technical solutions that can make the connector 2 elastically deform and adjust the cap body 1. Furthermore, ear protectors 1b1 are provided on both sides of the brim 1b on the cap body 1.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that the hat body 1 and the connecting piece 2 are made of two flexible materials with different mechanical properties. The hat body 1 uses EVA flexible material as the base material and is integrally stamped by equipment, so that the hat body 1 can deform accordingly with different head contours. The connecting piece 2, as an elastic strap, can continuously apply tension through the elastic deformation that occurs during the stretching process. It should be noted that the use of EVA flexible material as the base material of the hat body 1 in this embodiment does not mean that only this material can be used. As an alternative, any flexible material that can deform to fit the head when worn and has a certain degree of support after wearing can be used as the base material of the hat body 1 in this application.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the main body 1 of the baby shower cap includes a brim 1b and a fitting part 1a located on the inner side. The brim 1b and the fitting part 1a are integrally stamped. The fitting part 1a is bent inward relative to the brim 1b and cooperates with the connector 2 to form a wearing space 4. The wearing space 4 includes the U-shaped fitting part 1a and the connector 2 connecting the opening 1a1 end of the fitting part 1a. As a specific solution of this embodiment, the opening angle of the opening 1a1 end is less than 180°. Regarding the opening angle of the opening 1a1 of the fitting part 1a, it does not mean that other opening angles cannot meet the usage requirements of the shower cap. As an alternative, a technical solution such as 180 degrees can be adopted to support the brim 1b after wearing.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that, as a hat body 1 obtained by one-piece stamping, the rear end of the brim 1b extends backward and is flush with the fitting part 1a that fits the user.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the fitting part 1a on the main body of the hat 1 bends upwards towards the top of the baby shower cap, and the brim 1b on the main body of the hat 1 tilts downwards and forms a certain angle with the fitting part 1a. The inner side of the fitting part 1a serves as the inner wall of the wearing space 4 and the user's head, especially the user's forehead and back.

[0031] In summary, this application uses a connector 2 capable of stretching and elastic deformation to connect the opening 1a1 at the rear end of the hat body 1. The tension generated by the stretching of the connector 2 during wearing ensures a tight fit between the inner wall of the wearing space 4 and the head. Furthermore, existing children's shower caps made of a combination of rigid and flexible materials suffer from water flow impacts that cause the brim 1b, made of rigid material, to swing up and down, resulting in the inner side of the brim 1b impacting the forehead of the wearer. During this impact, the flexible parts deform, indirectly compressing the user's head and affecting the wearing experience. To address these issues, this application uses a flexible material as the material for the shower cap body 1, formed by integral stamping and bending. The brim 1b and the fitting part 1a allow the cap to deform accordingly with changes in the user's head contour when worn. They also cooperate with the elastic connector 2 to ensure that the inner wall of the wearing space 4 fits tightly along the head contour, preventing liquids such as water or shampoo from flowing into the gap between the inner wall and the head and affecting the user experience. Because this shower cap is made of fully flexible material, it can deform accordingly with changes in the user's head contour compared to existing shower caps. Since newborns' skulls are not fully fused and are relatively soft in the early stages of growth and development, and will be shaped after a certain period of time, the use of flexible material for the main body 1 of the cap can not only adapt to the small contour changes of the head, but also reduce the pressure on the blood vessels of the head caused by hard materials, thereby improving the user experience.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that, in this application, one end of the brim 1b extends backward and is flush with the end of the opening 1a1 of the fitting part 1a. Through the tension provided by the elastic connector 2, the inner wall of the wearing space 4 can fit snugly against the head after the user wears it. Since the brim 1b and the fitting part 1a are integrally stamped and bent from the same flexible material, the structural strength of the hat body 1 is improved. Furthermore, the shower cap deforms according to the shape of the head after wearing, fitting snugly against the head. The close fit between the head and the fitting part 1a provides support for the brim 1b. By making the rear end face of the brim 1b flush with the fitting part 1a, the contact area is increased, further enhancing the support strength of the flexible material brim 1b. Specifically, a pull strap is used as the connector 2, which engages with the positioning part 3 and obtains tension to complete the wearing process, preventing it from sticking to the hair and improving the user experience. It should be noted that using a pull strap as the connector 2 to engage with the positioning part 3 is only one solution in this embodiment, and does not exclude other solutions that can cause the connector 2 to undergo elastic deformation to obtain a certain tension.

[0033] In addition, the inner side of the hat body 1 of this application is bent upward to form a fitting part 1a, and the brim 1b and the fitting part 1a form an obtuse angle greater than 90 degrees, and the brim 1b is tilted downward relative to the fitting part 1a, thereby guiding the shampoo downward and keeping the shampoo away from the user's head as far as possible, avoiding excessive water accumulation on the head and affecting the user experience. Furthermore, ear protectors 1b1 are provided on both sides of the brim 1b to prevent water or shampoo and other liquids from flowing into the ears and affecting the user experience.

[0034] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0035] Although this document frequently uses terms such as 1. hat body; 1a. fitting part; 1a1. opening; 1b. brim; 1b1. earmuffs; 2. connector; 2a. adjustment hole; 3. positioning part; and 4. wearing space, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
