Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing technology, and more particularly to a multi-purpose hat with a changeable form. Background Technology

[0002] Hats are clothing items worn on the head, usually consisting of a crown and a brim. They can be made of various materials such as cloth, straw, leather, and plastic. They are one of the oldest forms of clothing, gradually evolving from practical tools into important accessories that combine function and fashion.

[0003] Existing hats generally suffer from the core problem of fixed usage forms and functions limited to basic wear. This design flaw not only restricts the application scenarios and use value of the products, but also makes it difficult to adapt to the diverse and scenario-based needs of modern users. Traditional hats are mostly fixed in shape, only suitable for basic wear needs in specific scenarios, resulting in weak scenario coverage for a single hat. Fixed-shape hats usually only offer a limited range of sizes, making it difficult to adapt to the personalized needs of users with different head circumferences and shapes. Some users may experience problems such as hats being too tight and pressing on their heads, or too loose and easily falling off. Since their use is limited to wearing, hats have almost no other use value when not being worn, resulting in a high rate of idleness. Hats are completely idle in summer, and sun hats cannot be used indoors or on rainy days, resulting in resource waste. Modern users' life scenarios are becoming increasingly diversified, placing more personalized and scenario-based demands on the functions and forms of hats. However, due to the limitations of their uses and forms, existing hats cannot quickly respond to these emerging demands, resulting in a narrow market coverage and difficulty in meeting the segmented needs of different user groups, thus affecting the industry's market expansion capabilities.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a multi-purpose hat with a changeable form to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a versatile and shape-changing hat to improve the technical problems in related technologies where the hat's usage form is fixed and its function is limited to basic wear. Due to the limitations of its use and form, the existing hats cannot quickly respond to these emerging needs.

[0006] This application provides a multi-purpose, shape-changing hat, including an internal structural component and a cloth cover assembly fitted onto the internal structural component; The internal structural components include an annular base component and a support assembly rotatably mounted on the annular base component. The support assembly can be divided into an upper support component, a middle support component, and a lower support component, which respectively form the head fixing component, brim, and crown of the hat, used to change the different shapes of the hat. The fabric cover assembly includes an upper fabric cover, a middle fabric cover, and a lower fabric cover respectively fitted onto the upper support member, the middle support member, and the lower support member, as well as a fabric cover ring for connecting the upper fabric cover, the middle fabric cover, and the lower fabric cover. The top of the upper fabric cover has a fixing hole for a detachable locking member to be inserted to lock the top of the upper support member so that it can be used as a storage bag.

[0007] The technical solutions described above in this application embodiment have at least the following technical effects: the upper, middle and lower support components correspond to the head fixing component, the brim and the crown respectively, and the combination form of the support components can be switched by means of the rotational connection of the ring base component; different usage states can be switched according to different usage scenarios; at the same time, the top of the upper support component can be locked and folded by the fixing hole through the locking component; the hat can be expanded from a wearable item to a storage bag, realizing two uses in one item.

[0008] In this embodiment, the support component includes a base component consisting of two rings sleeved on an annular base component and an iron wire that can connect the two rings. The base component is uniformly arranged in annular arrays at different positions on the annular base component to form an upper support component, a middle support component, and a lower support component.

[0009] This technical solution utilizes a double-ring, wire base, and ring array support structure to achieve the core structure for stable switching between multiple hat shapes. The double rings are fitted onto the ring base, allowing the base to rotate relative to it. This not only maintains the hat shape but also allows the upper, middle, and lower support components to overlap, achieving a storage effect. The wire connects the two rings, providing basic structural support for the base while retaining its elastic deformation capability.

[0010] In this embodiment, two adjacent base members partially overlap each other, with one end of the base member above the adjacent base member and the other end of the base member below the adjacent base member.

[0011] This technical solution allows adjacent base components to form a cross-interlocking support. By partially overlapping with one end on top and the other end on the bottom, adjacent base components form a mutually restraining and collaborative support structure, rather than being independent and scattered individuals.

[0012] In this embodiment, each of the base components is fitted with a cloth cover. The lower cloth cover has connecting holes symmetrically opened at both ends of the annular base component. A connecting rope can be detachably connected through the connecting holes. This rope can be used to fix the hat to the head or as a carrying strap for use as a storage bag.

[0013] This technical solution enables the fabric cover to be matched one-to-one with the corresponding base component. The fabric cover can deform synchronously with the shape of the base component, avoiding misalignment, wrinkles or jamming between the fabric cover and the support component. The connecting hole provides a detachable installation point for the connecting rope, which can be flexibly switched between two functions: a head fixing rope and a storage bag handle rope.

[0014] In this embodiment, the locking member includes a locking rope passing through the fixing hole adjacent to each other, and a pig snout buckle passing through the head and tail of the locking rope to tighten the locking rope.

[0015] This technical solution allows for the sealing of the top opening of the storage bag by tightening the locking rope, preventing small items from falling out and achieving a sealed and secure storage function.

[0016] In this embodiment, the upper support has a moderately sized wire, making it easy to wear on the wearer's head; the middle support has a longer wire, which is used to form a brim and provide sun protection; and the lower support has a shorter wire, which is used to fix the head of wearers with different head circumferences while reducing obstruction of the face.

[0017] This technical solution precisely matches the functional positioning of the upper, middle, and lower support components by adjusting the wire lengths. This achieves layered optimization of head fit, sun protection, and head circumference adjustment, while providing a structural foundation for multiple hat styles: the upper support component, as the core structure for head fixation, provides support that conforms to the head, ensuring stability and comfort during wear; the middle support component, by extending its length, forms an adjustable brim structure, maximizing sun protection coverage and adapting to outdoor sun protection scenarios; the lower support component, while allowing for flexible head circumference adjustment, controls the radial extension range of the support structure to avoid obstructing the wearer's facial vision.

[0018] Beneficial effects: By using a ring-shaped base component, layered support components, and wire length differentiation design, multiple hat styles can be quickly created. At the same time, the cross-overlapping structure and rotating connection of the support components ensure the structural stability of each form, solving the defects of traditional hats that have one form per hat and narrow scene coverage. It is suitable for diverse scenarios such as daily commuting, outdoor sun protection, sports and fitness, and social decoration, replacing the function of multiple traditional hats. With the help of the fixing holes, locking parts and connecting ropes of the lower cover on the top of the upper support, the hat can be quickly converted into a storage bag. The connecting rope also serves as the carrying rope of the storage bag, realizing two uses in one item. It solves the problem of high idle rate and no added value of traditional hats when not being worn. It is especially suitable for outdoor travel and other scenarios that require simplified equipment, thus improving the practical value of the product. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] Existing hats generally suffer from the core problem of fixed usage forms and functions limited to basic wear. This design flaw not only restricts the application scenarios and use value of the products, but also makes it difficult to adapt to the diverse and scenario-based needs of modern users. Traditional hats are mostly fixed in shape, only suitable for basic wear needs in specific scenarios, resulting in weak scenario coverage for a single hat. Fixed-shape hats usually only offer a limited range of sizes, making it difficult to adapt to the personalized needs of users with different head circumferences and shapes. Some users may experience problems such as hats being too tight and pressing on their heads, or too loose and easily falling off. Since their use is limited to wearing, hats have almost no other use value when not being worn, resulting in a high rate of idleness. Hats are completely idle in summer, and sun hats cannot be used indoors or on rainy days, resulting in resource waste. Modern users' life scenarios are becoming increasingly diversified, placing more personalized and scenario-based demands on the functions and forms of hats. However, due to the limitations of their uses and forms, existing hats cannot quickly respond to these emerging demands, resulting in a narrow market coverage and difficulty in meeting the segmented needs of different user groups, thus affecting the industry's market expansion capabilities.

[0021] Based on this, in order to improve the technical problems of hats in related technologies, such as their fixed usage form and limited function to basic wear, and the inability of existing hats to quickly respond to these emerging needs due to the limitations of their uses and forms, the embodiments of this application provide the following solutions.

[0022] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a multi-purpose, transformable hat, which includes an internal structural component 1 and a fabric cover assembly 2 fitted onto the internal structural component 1. The internal structural component 1 includes an annular base component 11 and a support component 12 rotatably mounted on the annular base component 11. The support component 12 can be divided into an upper support component 121, a middle support component 122 and a lower support component 123, which respectively form the head fixing component, brim and crown of the hat, and are used to change the different shapes of the hat. The fabric cover assembly 2 includes an upper fabric cover 21, a middle fabric cover 22, and a lower fabric cover 23 respectively fitted onto the upper support member 121, the middle support member 122, and the lower support member 123, and a fabric cover ring 24 for connecting the upper fabric cover 21, the middle fabric cover 22, and the lower fabric cover 23. The top of the upper fabric cover 21 has a fixing hole 211 for a detachable locking member 212 to lock the top of the upper support member 121 so that it can be used as a storage bag.

[0023] The multi-purpose, form-changing hat provided in this application embodiment uses upper, middle, and lower support members 123 to correspond to the head fixing member, brim, and crown, respectively. Through the rotational connection of the annular base member 11, the combined form of the support component 12 can be switched. Different usage states can be switched according to different usage scenarios. Simultaneously, the top of the upper support member 121 can be locked and folded together through the fixing hole 211 of the locking member 212. This allows the hat to be expanded from a wearable item to a storage bag, achieving two uses in one. Through the combined design of form-switching support component 12, cover adaptation, and expanded uses, it not only covers the basic wearing needs of traditional hats but also integrates multiple hat styles and storage tools, better meeting the modern user's consumption needs for simplified equipment, scenario adaptation, and multi-purpose use.

[0024] In this embodiment, the support component 12 includes a base component 124 consisting of two rings 1241 sleeved on the annular base component 11 and an iron wire 1242 that can connect the two rings 1241. The base component 124 is uniformly arranged in a ring array at different positions on the annular base component 11 to form an upper support component 121, a middle support component 122 and a lower support component 123.

[0025] This design, using double rings 1241, wire 1242 base 124, and a ring array of support components 12, is the core structure for achieving stable switching between multiple hat shapes. It not only allows the support components 12 to maintain the hat's shape but also enables the upper support components 121, middle support components 122, and lower support components 123 within the hat to overlap, thus achieving a storage effect. The double rings 1241 are fitted onto the ring base 11, allowing the base 124 to be positioned relative to the ring base 11. The rotation adjustment; the wire 1242 connects two rings 1241, which not only provides basic structural support for the base 124, but also retains the elastic deformation capability; each base 124 can rotate independently, making the shape adjustment of the upper, middle and lower support components 123 more flexible and enabling richer hat shape changes; the elasticity of the wire 1242 not only ensures the support strength, but also allows the base 124 to deform as needed. At the same time, the wire 1242 material is lightweight and low cost, and will not increase the burden of wearing the hat.

[0026] In this embodiment, two adjacent base members 124 partially overlap each other, with one end of base member 124 above the adjacent base member 124 and the other end of base member 124 below the adjacent base member 124.

[0027] This design allows adjacent base pieces 124 to form a cross-interlocking support. By partially overlapping with one end on top and the other on the bottom, adjacent base pieces 124 form a mutually restraining and synergistic support structure, rather than being independent and scattered individuals. The cross-overlapping layout allows each base piece 124 to form a mutually supportive relationship, preventing loosening or collapse of a single base piece 124 under stress, ensuring that the hat maintains a neat appearance and a stable wearing experience in different shapes. The staggered overlapping method at one end preserves the rotational freedom of the base piece 124 relative to the ring base piece 11, while avoiding collisions and jamming between adjacent base pieces 124 during adjustment, achieving gradual shape switching and improving the smoothness of operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, each base 124 is fitted with a cloth cover, and the lower cloth cover 23 has connecting holes 231 symmetrically opened at both ends of the annular base 11. A connecting rope 232 can be detachably connected through the connecting holes 231 for fixing the hat to the head, or as a carrying rope for use as a storage bag.

[0029] This design allows the cover to be fitted one-to-one with the corresponding base 124. The cover can deform synchronously with the shape changes of the base 124, avoiding misalignment, wrinkles, or jamming between the cover and the support component 12. The connecting hole 231 provides a detachable mounting point for the connecting rope 232, which can be flexibly switched between two functions: a head fixing rope and a storage bag handle rope. This not only optimizes the adaptability and aesthetics of the hat in its wearing form, but also enhances the portability of the storage bag form. At the same time, the detachable cover and detachable accessories reduce the cost of use and maintenance, making the hat's multi-purpose attributes more practical and applicable.

[0030] In this embodiment, the locking member 212 includes a locking rope 2121 that passes through the fixing hole 211 adjacent to each other, and a pig snout buckle 2122 that passes through the head and tail of the locking rope 2121 to tighten the locking rope 2121.

[0031] This design allows the top opening of the storage bag to be sealed by tightening the locking rope 2121 when in storage bag mode, preventing small items from falling out and achieving a sealed and fixed storage function. At the same time, when in hat mode, the top fixing hole 211 of the upper support member 121 is inserted, and the top shape of the upper support member 121 is fixed by tightening the locking rope 2121 and locking it with the pig nose buckle 2122, preventing the crown from collapsing or deforming due to the loosening of the support member.

[0032] In this embodiment, the wire 1242 of the upper support member 121 is of moderate length, making it easy to wear on the wearer's head; the wire 1242 of the middle support member 122 is longer, used to form a brim and create a sunshade effect; the wire 1242 of the lower support member 123 is shorter, used to fix the head of wearers with different head circumferences while reducing obstruction of the face.

[0033] This design, through precise matching of the wire 1242 lengths of the upper, middle, and lower support components 123 to their functional positioning, achieves layered optimization of head fit, sun protection, and head circumference adjustment functions, while providing a structural basis for the hat's multi-mode switching: the upper support component 121, as the core structure for head fixation, provides support that fits the head, ensuring stability and comfort when wearing; the middle support component 122, through its extended length, forms an adjustable brim structure, maximizing the sun protection coverage area to suit outdoor sun protection scenarios; the lower support component 123, while allowing flexible adjustment of the head circumference, controls the radial extension range of the support structure to avoid obstructing the wearer's facial vision.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
