Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing, specifically to a hat. Background Technology
[0002] There are many types of sun hats on the market, and in recent years, many simple foldable sun hats have also appeared. Their structure typically uses a tensioned rigid board as the brim, dividing the brim into two parts. When the sun is less intense, or when storage is needed, the tension of the rigid board is used to fold the front brim towards the main body of the hat. These folding hats are not easy to fold, and once folded, the length can only be adjusted in the front-to-back direction, not the left-to-right direction. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned defects or problems in the prior art and to provide a hat that is easier to fold and can adjust not only the length in the front and back directions but also the length in the left and right directions.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the various embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions, but are not limited to the following solutions:
[0005] The first technical solution relates to a hat, which includes a hat body and a brim. The brim includes a first part and a second part. The first part is connected to the hat body. The second part is disposed in front of the first part and is connected to the first part at a first crease, so that the second part is suitable for folding relative to the first part. The first part is characterized by having second creases on both sides and third creases on both sides. The second crease extends obliquely from the side of the first part away from the second part to a first point on the first crease away from the side. The third crease extends obliquely from the side of the second part away from the first part to the first point.
[0006] The second technical solution is based on the first technical solution. The first part includes a first sub-part, a second sub-part, and a third sub-part, and each sub-part contains a PE board.
[0007] The third technical solution is based on the first technical solution. The second part includes a fourth sub-part, a fifth sub-part, and a sixth sub-part, and each sub-part contains a PE board.
[0008] The fourth technical solution is based on the first technical solution, and the first part and the second part are respectively provided with male and female buckles.
[0009] The fifth technical solution is based on the fourth technical solution, wherein the sub-buckle is located in the fourth sub-part and the sixth sub-part, and the female buckle is located in the first sub-part and the third sub-part.
[0010] The sixth technical solution is based on the first technical solution. The hat body further includes a drape, which is fixedly connected to the hat body and to the side of the brim.
[0011] The seventh technical solution is based on the first technical solution, and stitching is provided at the first crease, the second crease, and the third crease.
[0012] As can be seen from the above description of the various embodiments of the present utility model, compared with the prior art, the various embodiments of the present utility model have the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In the first technical solution, the brim is divided into a first part and a second part, which are connected by a first crease. This structure achieves the most basic function of folding the second part towards the first part. A second crease and a third crease are respectively provided at the two outer corners of the brim. The two creases are located in the first part and the second part, respectively, and the second and third creases intersect at the first crease. When the wearer lifts the side of the brim and pushes it towards the intersection point, under the influence of the crease optimization, the third crease will move closer to the second crease as the outer corner of the brim folds back towards the intersection point. During this process, the second part of the brim is driven and will actively fold towards the first part, reducing the folding operation. Furthermore, since the second crease is in the first part and the third crease is in the second part, and the second crease moves away from the side of the first part towards the second part... The third crease extends obliquely from the second part to the first point on the first crease away from the side. This results in the brim's length in the left-right direction being shortened after folding during the reverse folding process, reducing visual obstruction. At the same time, as the third crease approaches the second crease, the second part is driven to actively fold towards the first part, thereby reducing the brim's length in the front-back direction. By reducing the brim length in both directions, a wider field of vision is provided. Finally, during operation, the wearer only needs to fold back the two outer corners of the brim to adjust its size. The crease optimization scheme avoids the shortcomings of existing technologies that rely on rigid plate tension to adjust the brim size. The adjustment process is effortless, and the force is only between the first and second parts, without putting pressure on the head, thus improving comfort.
[0014] 2. In the second scheme, the first part of the brim is closest to the main body of the hat. In order to maximize the adjustment of the length of the brim extending around the main body, the first part is cut into three sub-parts. The first and third sub-parts are located at both ends of the first part. After being folded back, they can minimize the length of the brim extending around the main body. The purpose of having PE plates in the three sub-parts is to make it easier for the wearer to fold the brim. After the brim itself has a certain strength, it is easy to bear force and easy to fold.
[0015] 3. In the third technical solution, in order to reduce the folding process for the wearer, the second part is cut into three sub-parts. The fourth and sixth sub-parts are located at both ends of the second part. As the outer corners are folded back and the third crease gradually approaches the second crease, the fourth sub-part gradually overlaps with the first sub-part and the sixth sub-part overlaps with the third sub-part, thereby driving the fifth sub-part to actively fold towards the second part, thus reducing the folding process. The sub-parts are equipped with PE boards to ensure that there is a certain strength between each sub-part, so as to facilitate stress and folding.
[0016] 4. In the fourth technical solution, the folded brim is fixed by pressing with a snap fastener, so that the folded brim is relatively stable and always remains in a folded state.
[0017] 5. In the fifth technical solution, the male and female buckles are respectively located on the fourth and sixth sub-parts and the first and third sub-parts to facilitate folding by the wearer. When the wearer folds the outer corner of the brim, the fourth sub-part is fixed to the first sub-part and the sixth sub-part is fixed to the third sub-part through the male and female buckles, thus optimizing the fixing scheme.
[0018] 6. In the sixth technical solution, the sunshade effect is optimized by adding a flap to the rear half of the hat body. The flap can protect the wearer's face and neck to a greater extent. At the same time, since the flap is also fixed to the side of the brim, this indirectly results in the maximum sunshade area when the brim is fully unfolded, and the flap protects the face and neck to the maximum extent. When the brim is folded, the flap fixed to the side of the brim will fold along with the brim to reduce the amount of sunshade.
[0019] 7. In the seventh technical solution, the seam at the crease is to deepen the crease and restrict the PE board in each sub-section to prevent the PE board from moving and interfering with the folding. Attached Figure Description
