Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports protective gear technology, and in particular to an adjustable, sweat-wicking sports headband. Background Technology

[0002] Sweat-wicking headbands are primarily used by athletes during exercise to redirect sweat that flows into their glasses from their forehead to the sides of their forehead, thus wicking away sweat. A typical sweat-wicking headband consists of an elastic headband and elastic, sweat-wicking silicone strips embedded within it. In practical applications, sweat-wicking headbands can be washed and reused after each use.

[0003] In the process of developing the existing technology, the inventors discovered that:

[0004] After repeated use, the elastic fibers of a sweat-wicking headband fatigue, causing it to loosen overall. This reduces the fit between the sweat-wicking strip and the forehead, rendering it ineffective at wicking away sweat and thus losing its sweat-wicking function. Furthermore, the sweat-wicking strip is typically made of silicone and is sewn or glued to the headband. When exposed to sweat, it easily delaminates and detaches, further diminishing the sweat-wicking effect.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a sweat-wicking headband that can be used continuously and maintain its sweat-wicking effect to solve the problem in the prior art where the sweat-wicking headband becomes less effective after repeated use due to the headband loosening or the silicone strip falling off. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, the Velcro surface at the other end of the headband consists of several sub-Velcro surfaces spaced at predetermined intervals.

[0010] Furthermore, the ratio between the length of the Velcro side of the other end of the headband and the length of the headband is 1:3 to 1:2.

[0011] Furthermore, the other end of the sweat-wicking strip is also provided with a sub-sweat-wicking strip, the width of which is half the width of the sweat-wicking strip.

[0012] The technical solution provided in this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The adjustable, sweat-wicking sports headband provided in this application ensures a snug fit between the headband's guide strip and the forehead even after repeated use, thus maintaining its sweat-wicking effect for continuous use. Furthermore, the covering component encloses the tension adjustment mechanism, preventing its failure and further extending the headband's lifespan.

[0017] Adjustable tightness sweat-wicking sports headband-100; elastic headband-1; sweat-wicking strip-2; sub-sweat-wicking strip-21; tightness adjustment mechanism-3; Velcro groove-31; Velcro loop-32; covering component-4; radial covering layer-41; buckle-411; locking groove-412. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1This application provides an adjustable tightness sweat-wicking sports headband 100, which is mainly used to solve the problem that after repeated use, the elastic fibers of the sweat-wicking headband become fatigued, causing the overall headband to loosen, the sweat-wicking strip 2 to lose its fit with the forehead, and thus fail to meet the requirements for sweat wicking, lose its sweat-wicking function, and have a reduced service life.

[0020] An adjustable, sweat-wicking sports headband 100 includes an elastic headband 1, a sweat-wicking strip 2 placed inside the headband, and a tension adjustment mechanism 3 connected to both ends of the headband; one end of the sweat-wicking strip 2 is glued to the headband, and the tension adjustment mechanism 3 includes a Velcro groove surface 31 connected to one end of the headband, and a Velcro loop surface 32 connected to the other end of the headband for adjusting the tension of the elastic headband 1 by engaging with the Velcro groove surface 31.

[0021] Specifically, the elastic headband 1 serves to absorb sweat, secure hair, and provide warmth / sun protection for the head. This application primarily focuses on improvements made to its sweat-absorbing properties during exercise. It should be noted that the elastic headband 1 can be made of a polyurethane fiber material with elasticity.

[0022] The sweat-wicking strip 2 is mainly used to divert sweat from the forehead to both sides of the forehead through its vector diversion function, thereby preventing sweat from flowing from the forehead into the face and eyes and interfering with the athlete's performance.

[0023] Furthermore, the end face of the sweat-wicking strip 2 that is connected to the headband by adhesive has a wavy groove.

[0024] It is understandable that, in the past, the connection between the sweat-wicking strip 2 and the headband could easily delaminate after repeated use due to sweat erosion, leading to a decrease in the sweat-wicking effect of the headband. This application, based on the adhesive connection between the sweat-wicking strip 2 and the headband, incorporates wavy grooves to increase the connection area between the sweat-wicking strip 2 and the headband, thereby ensuring the connection between them and preventing a decline in the sweat-wicking effect of the headband.

[0025] Furthermore, the other end of the sweat-wicking strip 2 is provided with a sub-sweat-wicking strip 21, the width of which is half the width of the sweat-wicking strip 2.

[0026] Specifically, the design of the sweat-wicking strip 2 and the sub-sweat-wicking strip 21 allows sweat to be wicked through both the sweat-wicking strip 2 and the sub-sweat-wicking strip 21. The sub-sweat-wicking strip 21 is set to half the width of the sweat-wicking strip 2, meaning the other half of the sub-sweat-wicking strip 21 is a gap, making it easier for sweat to be contained in this gap and flow to both sides of the forehead with the sub-sweat-wicking strip 21.

[0027] The tension adjustment mechanism 3 can be a mechanism that adjusts the length of the elastic headband 1 through an elastic cord adjuster, Velcro, etc. It is understood that, under the adjustment of the tension adjustment mechanism 3, the sweat-wicking sports headband can ensure that the sweat-wicking strip 2 fits snugly against the forehead while meeting the requirements for sweat wicking. In a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the tension adjustment mechanism 3 is adjusted using Velcro.

[0028] Specifically, the tension adjustment mechanism 3 includes a Velcro groove 31 connected to one end of the headband and a Velcro loop 32 connected to the other end of the headband for adjusting the tension of the elastic headband 1 by connecting with the Velcro groove 31. By connecting the Velcro groove 31 at one end of the headband to the Velcro loop 32 at the other end of the headband, the sweat-wicking sports band is further tightened, so that the sweat-wicking strip 2 fits tightly against the forehead.

[0029] Furthermore, the Velcro surface 32 at the other end of the headband is composed of several sub-Velcro surfaces 32 spaced at predetermined intervals.

[0030] Specifically, the arrangement of several sub-Hook and Velcro surfaces 32 is primarily to allow the Velcro groove surface 31 to be selectively attached to one of the sub-Hook and Velcro surfaces 32, achieving optimal results when worn by the athlete. For example, initially, the Velcro groove surface 31 only needs to be connected to the sub-Hook and Velcro surface 32 closest to the other end of the headband. However, after repeated use, the Velcro groove surface 31 needs to be connected to the sub-Hook and Velcro surface 32 furthest from the other end of the headband to ensure the shortening of the sweat-wicking headband length, thereby allowing the sweat-wicking strip 2 to fit tightly against the forehead and achieve the function of wicking away sweat. In a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the predetermined interval is set to 1cm-2cm.

[0031] Furthermore, the ratio between the length of the Velcro loop 32 at the other end of the headband and the length of the headband is 1:3 to 1:2.

[0032] Specifically, in addition to the aforementioned sub-Hook and loop fastener surface 32, a longer hook and loop fastener surface 32 can also be provided for the hook and loop fastener surface 32. Compared to the aforementioned sub-Hook and loop fastener surface 32, the longer hook and loop fastener surface 32 allows the hook and loop groove surface 31 to be attached to any position thereon, which is more conducive to adjusting the length of the sweat-wicking headband. In a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the ratio between the length of the hook and loop fastener surface 32 at the other end of the headband and the length of the headband is preferably 1:3.

[0033] Furthermore, one end of the headband is also provided with a covering component 4 for covering the connected Velcro groove surface 31 and Velcro loop surface 32. The covering component 4 faces away from the end face that is connected to the Velcro groove surface 31 of the headband. The covering component 4 includes a radial covering layer 41 connected to the headband. The radial covering layer 41 is provided with a buckle 411 away from the end connected to the headband, and a locking groove 412 for locking the buckle 411 is provided on the end face that is connected to the Velcro groove surface 31 of the headband.

[0034] Specifically, the covering component 4 covers the Velcro groove surface 31 and the Velcro loop surface 32 of the tension adjustment mechanism 3, ensuring that the Velcro groove surface 31 and the Velcro loop surface 32 will not easily separate. Understandably, athletes do not need to worry about the Velcro separating and affecting their movement during exercise, thanks to the design of the covering component 4.

[0035] The radial covering layer 41 of the covering component 4 rotates and covers the connected Velcro groove surface 31 and Velcro loop surface 32, and locks it into the locking groove 412 via the buckle 411, thereby achieving the locking of the tension adjustment mechanism 3 and ensuring the optimal sweat-wicking effect of the sweat-wicking sports headband. In a practical application scenario provided in this application, the connection between the buckle 411 and the locking groove 412 can be similar to the connection of a snap fastener on clothing.

[0036] The adjustable-tightness sweat-wicking sports headband 100 provided in this application ensures a snug fit between the headband's guide strip and the forehead even after repeated use, thanks to the tension adjustment mechanism 3, thus achieving continuous use and maintaining its sweat-wicking effect. Furthermore, the covering component 4 covers the tension adjustment mechanism 3, preventing its failure and further extending the headband's lifespan. Additionally, the wavy grooves on the sweat-wicking strip 2 improve the adhesive bonding between the strip and the headband, ensuring continued use and maintaining its sweat-wicking effect, further extending the headband's lifespan.
