Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hat, and more particularly to an inflatable sun hat. Background Technology

[0002] Most sun hats currently available have brims made of soft materials, which can easily bend when worn, obstructing vision. In addition, the small diameter of the brim results in a small area of ​​sun protection and poor sun protection effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the above-mentioned technical problems by providing an inflatable sun hat. This inflatable sun hat can prevent the brim from bending, and the diameter of the brim can be flexibly adjusted. When a large area of ​​sun protection is needed, a large diameter brim can be quickly switched. It is simple and quick to operate, has a large sun protection area, and a good sun protection effect.

[0004] Therefore, the technical solution of this utility model is an inflatable sun hat, which has a top and a brim. An air bladder is provided on the outer circumference of the brim. The air bladder can be inflated and deflated. When the air bladder is inflated, it can stretch the brim radially. The brim is flatter under the stretching action of the air bladder. In addition, the inflatable air bladder can increase the sun-shading area of ​​the inflatable sun hat.

[0005] Preferably, the cross-section of the inflatable bladder is circular or elliptical.

[0006] Preferably, the air bladder is located radially outward from the brim.

[0007] Preferably, the air bladder is located at the bottom of the outermost circumference of the brim.

[0008] Preferably, the brim is provided with a brim protection cover, which includes an upper brim protection cover and a lower brim protection cover, and the upper brim protection cover and the lower brim protection cover are respectively attached and fixed to the upper surface and the lower surface of the brim.

[0009] The outer radial positions of the upper and lower protective covers of the cap extend to the position of the inflatable bladder, and are respectively attached and fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the inflatable bladder to achieve the envelopment of the inflatable bladder.

[0010] Preferably, the airbag is provided with an inflation port, which is located at the bottom of the airbag.

[0011] Preferably, after the airbag is deflated, the airbag can be flipped upwards to the upper part of the brim and fixed to the brim, thus realizing the storage of the airbag.

[0012] Preferably, the air bladder and the brim are fixed together by a snap fastener, and there are multiple snap fasteners, which are evenly distributed along the circumference at the upper ends of the air bladder and the brim.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. An inflatable bladder is provided on the outer circumference of the brim. The inflatable bladder can be inflated and deflated. When the inflatable bladder is inflated, it can stretch the brim radially. The brim is flatter under the stretching action of the inflatable bladder. In addition, the inflatable bladder increases the overall diameter of the brim, thereby increasing the sun-shading area of ​​the inflatable sun hat.

[0015] When you need to store the sun hat or do not need a large sun-shading area, you can deflate the air bladder, then flip the air bladder upwards to the top of the brim and fix it to the brim to store the air bladder. The operation is simple and quick.

[0016] 2. By setting up a protective cover for the brim, the airbag can be protected and prevented from being damaged by external force. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0027] pass Figures 1-7As can be seen, the inflatable sun hat has a crown 1 and a brim 2. An air bladder 3 is provided on the outer circumference of the brim 2. The air bladder 3 can be inflated and deflated. When the air bladder 3 is inflated, it can stretch the brim 2 radially. The brim 2 becomes flatter under the stretching action of the air bladder 3. In addition, after the air bladder 3 is inflated, it is equivalent to increasing the overall diameter of the brim 2, thereby increasing the sun-shading area of ​​the inflatable sun hat.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the cross-section of the inflatable bladder 3 is circular or elliptical, but other shapes such as square or rectangular can also be used. Among them, circular or elliptical is the most preferred option. When worn, when the wind blows, the smooth transition of the circular or elliptical outer surface can reduce the swaying amplitude of the sun hat, improve the wearing experience, and prevent the sun hat from swaying too much, which would obstruct vision.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the airbag 3 is located on the radial outer side of the brim 2, which can maximize the overall outer diameter of the brim 2, resulting in a large sunshade area and good sunshade effect. Furthermore, when the airbag 3 is inflated, it has a significant stretching effect on the brim 2, making the brim 2 flatter under the stretching action of the airbag 3.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the airbag 3 is located at the bottom of the outermost circumference of the brim 2, realizing a planar transition from the inside to the outside between the upper end of the brim 2 and the upper end of the airbag 3. While ensuring a large sunshade area and a flat brim 2, it can prevent dust accumulation at the connection between the upper end of the airbag 3 and the upper end of the brim 2.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, a brim protection cover 201 is provided on the outside of the brim 2. The brim protection cover 201 includes an upper brim protection cover 20101 and a lower brim protection cover 20102. The upper brim protection cover 20101 and the lower brim protection cover 20102 are respectively attached and fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the brim 2. The radially outer positions of the upper brim protection cover 20101 and the lower brim protection cover 20102 extend to the position of the inflatable bladder 3 and are respectively attached and fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the inflatable bladder 3 to achieve the wrapping of the inflatable bladder 3.

[0032] The brim protector 201 can protect the brim 2 and the air bladder 3, especially the air bladder 3, and can prevent the air bladder from being damaged by external force.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the airbag 3 is provided with an inflation port 4, which is located at the bottom of the airbag 3. The airbag 3 can be quickly inflated and deflated through the inflation port 4. When it is necessary to store the sun hat or when a large sunshade area is not needed, the airbag 3 can be deflated, and then the airbag 3 can be flipped upward to the upper end of the brim 2 and fixed to the brim 2 to realize the storage of the airbag 3. At this time, if the inflation port 4 is located at the upper end of the airbag 3, after the airbag 3 is flipped upward and fixed to the brim 2, the inflation port 4 will come into contact with the upper surface of the brim 2, causing interference. Therefore, the inflation port 4 is set at the bottom of the airbag 3.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the airbag 3 and the brim 2 are fixed to each other by a snap fastener 5. There are multiple snap fasteners 5, which are evenly distributed along the circumference at the upper ends of the airbag 3 and the brim 2. The snap fasteners 5 enable the airbag 3 to be quickly stored and fixed. Other fixing methods can also be used, such as magnetic attraction, Velcro, buckles, etc.

[0035] However, the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
