Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a head covering, and in particular to a technique that provides excellent protection for hairstyle. [Background technology]

[0002] Bicycles are often used by people of all ages and genders as a means of transportation for daily shopping, commuting to work or school, etc. However, unlike cars, when riding a bicycle, the body is exposed to the outside air, and there is a concern that hair can be easily messed up by the wind when going at a certain speed or going out on a windy day. For this reason, some people do not ride bicycles because they are concerned about their hairstyle. On the other hand, if you ride a bicycle while wearing a hat or helmet, you will not be affected by the wind. However, the hat or helmet will hold down your head, so your hairstyle will still be damaged. And with the mandatory wearing of helmets from April 1, 2023, as more people wear helmets, more people will be concerned about their hairstyle being messed up.

[0003] Looking at the prior art, examples of headgear inventions for maintaining hairstyles include those described in JP 2007-113159 A (Patent Document 1), JP 2005-273124 A (Patent Document 2), JP 63-35811 A (Patent Document 3), etc. These inventions are characterized by the provision of protrusions on the inside surface of the headgear, which are intended to prevent the hairstyle from becoming distorted by the protrusions hitting the head. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-113159 A [Patent Document 2] JP2005-273124A [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 63-35811 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in all of the above-mentioned inventions, since the projections come into contact with the hair, it is difficult to prevent the hairstyle from being damaged. Therefore, the present disclosure is characterized by a technology that makes it less likely for hairstyle to be disturbed when worn, and aims to provide a headgear with such characteristics. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure has the following configuration: That is, a headgear worn by a person has a protective section including a front section for protecting the hairstyle of the forehead of the person, a top section for protecting the hairstyle of the top of the head of the person, a side section for protecting the hairstyle of the sides of the head of the person, and a rear section for protecting the hairstyle of the back of the head of the person, a neck section including a collar section that comes into contact with the neck of the person and a pair of joint sections to which the collar section extends, the collar section has a skin contact pad, and the pair of joint sections have a hook-and-loop fastener, and when a person wears the headgear, the skin contact pad comes into contact with the neck of the person and is fixed by the hook-and-loop fastener, and the headgear can be held in a state in which the top section is located away from the top of the head, the rear section is located away from the back of the head, the side sections are located away from the sides of the head, and the front section is located away from the forehead.

[0007] The present disclosure relates to a headgear for a human to wear on the head, the headgear comprising a protective section comprising a front section for protecting the hairstyle of the human forehead, a top section for protecting the hairstyle of the human top of the head, a side section for protecting the hairstyle of the human sides of the head, and a rear section for protecting the hairstyle of the human back of the head, a neck area comprising a collar section for contacting the human neck and a pair of joint sections extending from the collar section, the collar section having a skin contact pad and the pair of joint sections having hook-and-loop fasteners, the skin contact pad being attached to the neck area of ​​the human when the human wears the headgear. Since the headgear can be held in a state in which the pads are abutted and fixed with the hook-and-loop fastener, with the top portion positioned away from the top of the head, the rear portion positioned away from the back of the head, the side portions positioned away from the sides of the head, and the front portion positioned away from the forehead, the headgear does not come into contact with the hairstyle at the front, top, sides, and back of the head, or if it does come into contact with them, it only comes into contact with a small amount, so that the hairstyle at those parts can be maintained without being disturbed even when the headgear is worn.

[0008] In addition, by changing the overlapping position of the hook-and-loop fasteners at the joints, the length of the collar can be adjusted to correspond to the circumference of the neck, and the collar can support the headgear. Therefore, the protective part can be kept out of contact with the head when the headgear is worn, in other words, the headgear can be stably held in place even without the protective part touching the head.

[0009] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the skin-contact pad can be made to consist of a pair of side pads for contacting the sides of the neck and a rear pad for contacting the back of the neck, and the horizontal height positions of these skin-contact pads in the collar portion are such that the rear pad is higher than the pair of side pads.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the skin contact pad is composed of a pair of side pads that contact the sides of the neck and a rear pad that contacts the rear of the neck, and the horizontal height positions of these skin contact pads in the collar are such that the rear pad is higher than the pair of side pads, so that the joints contact the human chin and press the front of the face, the side pads press the sides of the human neck, and the rear pad presses the lower back of the human head, and the four points that contact and press the human are formed on one plane. Therefore, the collar part can be stably fixed around the neck, and the headgear can be worn stably, especially against forward and backward shaking. Therefore, the headgear can be stably held in a worn state without the protective part contacting the human.

[0011] The present disclosure provides a headgear for a human to wear on the head, the headgear having a protective portion consisting of a front portion for protecting the hairstyle on the forehead of the human being, a top portion for protecting the hairstyle on the top of the human head, side portions for protecting the hairstyle on the sides of the human head, and a rear portion for protecting the hairstyle on the back of the human head, and a neck portion consisting of a collar portion for contacting the human neck and a pair of joints extending from the collar portion.

[0012] The present disclosure relates to a headgear that is worn by a human, the headgear having a protective portion consisting of a front portion that protects the hairstyle on the forehead of the human being, a top portion that protects the hairstyle on the top of the human being's head, a side portion that protects the hairstyle on the sides of the human being's head, and a rear portion that protects the hairstyle on the back of the human's head, and a neck portion consisting of a collar portion that comes into contact with the human's neck and a pair of joint portions to which the collar portion extends.Since the headgear does not come into contact with the hairstyle located on the forehead, top, sides, and back of the head, or if it does come into contact with it, it comes into contact only slightly, so that even when the headgear is worn, the hairstyle in those positions can be maintained without being disturbed.

[0013] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a headgear that can be fixed around the neck by adjusting the joining position between the pair of joints, thereby changing the length of the portion corresponding to the neck, which is formed by the collar portion and the joints.

[0014] One aspect of the present disclosure is a headgear that can be fixed around the neck by adjusting the joining position of the pair of joints and changing the length of the portion corresponding to the neck, which is formed by the collar and the joints, so that the headgear can be secured around the neck even by people of different body sizes and therefore different neck circumferences.

[0015] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the protective portion may be a headgear made by layering a thin film on a framework. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the protective portion is a headgear constructed by layering a thin film on a framework, making it possible to make the headgear light and durable.

[0016] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the thin film may be a headgear having a plurality of holes serving as ventilation holes. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the headgear has a thin film with multiple holes that serve as ventilation holes, so that the headgear is less likely to become stuffy when worn and can be worn comfortably.

[0017] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the headgear may be configured such that the side portions are more flexible than the remaining protective portions. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the side portions are more flexible than the other protective portions, so that the collar and its side portions can be easily opened, making it easier to put on the headgear. Also, the headgear can be easily removed from the head. Effect of the Invention

[0018] The headgear of the present disclosure is suitable for use in situations where strong winds can easily mess up your hairstyle, and makes it easy to maintain your hairstyle, particularly when you go out on a bicycle. Furthermore, the headgear of the present disclosure can be used in place of the hood of a raincoat when it rains, preventing hair from getting wet in the rain without messing up the hairstyle.

[Figure 8] FIG. 2 is a front view of the headgear of the present disclosure with the joints open, viewed from slightly above. [Figure 9] 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an enlarged view of the inside of the area around the collar of the headgear of the present disclosure. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The headgear of the present disclosure will be described in further detail based on the embodiments. Fig. 1 shows a state in which the headgear 10 according to the present disclosure is worn. Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, and Fig. 6 are respectively a front view, a back view, a plan view, a bottom view, and a right side view of the headgear 10. As shown in these figures, when a person puts the headgear 10 on the head, the face is exposed to the outside of the headgear 10, and basically, except for the face, the top, sides, back, front, and neck of the head are covered.

[0021] To explain each part that makes up the headgear 10, the headgear 10 has a front portion 2 that is arranged to cover part of the front of the face to prevent it from being blown by wind from the front when worn, a protective portion 11 consisting of a top portion 3 that is arranged to cover the upper side of the head, a side portion 4 that is arranged to cover the sides of the head, and a rear portion 5 that is arranged to cover the back of the head, and a neck portion 12 consisting of a collar portion 6 that covers the neck area and a joint portion 7 that tightens and secures the neck area. These parts constituting the headgear 10 are basically constructed by attaching a thin film M to a framework B.

[0022] The protective part 11 is formed of a front part 2, a top part 3, a side part 4, and a rear part 5, and among these parts, the front part 2 covers the front of the face to prevent wind from entering the part corresponding to the outer vicinity of the outline of the face when viewed from the front, so it is preferable that the front part 2 covers the front of the face so that part of the face is hidden, as shown in the figure of the headgear 10 being worn in Fig. 1. The front part 2 is formed of a thin film M, and may or may not have a framework B, but it is preferable to have a framework B in order to improve the shape stability of the front part 2, but it is not preferable in that the framework B blocks the field of vision.

[0023] In one example of the shape of the front part 2, as shown in Fig. 2, it is preferable that the width of the front part 2 is wider from the top to the bottom of the headgear 10. The top part is narrower to provide a wider space around the eyes, while the bottom part is narrower to connect to the collar part 6, making it difficult for the hairstyle around the nape to become messy. The thin film M in the front part 2 is preferably made of a transparent material, which allows for a wide field of vision. Providing such a front part 2 makes it possible to protect the hairstyle at the front of the head.

[0024] The top surface part 3 refers to the upper surface part of the headgear 10, and is located opposite the top of the head but far enough away from the top of the head when the headgear 10 is worn. By providing the top surface part 3, the hairstyle on the top of the head can be protected. The side parts 4 refer to the parts on the sides of the headgear 10, and are located opposite the temples where the ears are located and away from the temples so as not to touch them when the headgear 10 is worn. By providing the side parts 4, the hairstyle on the temples can be protected. It is preferable that the side parts 4 are more flexible than the remaining protective parts 11. When putting on or taking off the headgear 10, the collar part 6 is opened and pulled over the head, and the side parts 4 are connected to the collar part 6 which deforms, so if the side parts 4 are soft, the collar part 6 can be opened more easily, and as a result, the headgear 10 can be put on or taken off more easily. The rear part 5 refers to the part on the back side of the headgear 10, and is located opposite the back of the head but far enough away from the back of the head when the headgear 10 is worn. By providing the rear part 5, the hairstyle at the back of the head can be protected.

[0025] The protective section 11, which is made up of the front surface 2, top surface 3, side surface 4, and rear surface 5, is configured by attaching a thin film M to a framework B as described above. The frame B can be made of a material that is strong enough to maintain the outer shape of the headgear 10 without being damaged even when the headgear 10 is worn and the wearer walks or rides a bicycle. Examples of such materials include plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene, plant materials such as bamboo, and metals such as stainless steel.

[0026] The combined shape of the framework B may be such that it is stretched lengthwise and widthwise to the extent that it can form the outer shape of the headgear 10 when the thin film M is applied. The closer the spacing of the framework B, the better from the viewpoint of finely arranging or designing the outer shape of the headgear 10, but since this increases the volume and weight, it is preferable that the spacing is not too close from the viewpoint of making the headgear 10 lighter. Also, the framework B can be combined closely in places where a strong three-dimensional roundness is desired, and loosely in places where this is not the case.

[0027] Regarding the thickness of each wire of the framework B, a thinner wire is preferable from the viewpoint of weight reduction, but a thicker wire is preferable from the viewpoint of strength, so it is more preferable to make the wire thickness appropriate to the material. Furthermore, the strength of framework B varies depending on the application. Even if it is not possible to use it as a helmet, if it is intended to protect the head from some kind of sudden external pressure, it is preferable to use framework B with as high strength as possible.

[0028] The framework B shown in the drawing shows one embodiment of a combination shape in which linear frameworks B are combined to create a certain pattern, but it is not necessary to adopt such a combination structure. In this example, the material and structure are suitable for use as a headgear 10 that prevents hair from becoming messy when riding a bicycle.

[0029] The thin film M is an outer membrane that separates the inside and outside of the headgear 10 when the headgear 10 is worn, and is a part that has the function of preventing strong winds from entering the inside of the headgear 10 even if strong winds are blowing outside the headgear 10. The thin film M can be made of a variety of materials depending on the design of the headgear 10, including various natural or synthetic fabrics used in hats and clothing, plastic films, metal films, or various laminated materials combining these materials.

[0030] Basically, the thinner the thin film M, the lighter it is, but since the lifespan of the headgear 10 will be short if it is not strong enough to withstand tearing, it is preferable that the thin film M has a thickness strong enough to be used for a long time. In addition, in consideration of the protection of the head, in addition to the strength of the framework B described above, it is preferable to use a strong material, and it is also preferable to use a plastic or metal material that allows the thin film M itself to maintain its shape and is not easily deformed by external pressure.

[0031] The thin film M only needs to block the flow of air inside and outside the headgear 10 to the extent that the outside air does not affect the hairstyle, and from the viewpoint of breathability to prevent stuffiness, it is preferable that the thin film M is made of a material or has a configuration that has air holes through the front and back of the thin film M. Therefore, from the viewpoint of breathability, fabric material is more preferable than plastic as the material.

[0032] The ventilation holes may be voids in the fabric caused by the knitting or weaving of the material of the thin film M itself, but holes 20 provided separately in the thin film M may also be formed as ventilation holes. For example, Fig. 7 shows a schematic enlarged view of a portion of the thin film M, and as shown in Fig. 7, the size, shape, density, and arrangement of the holes 20 can be appropriately devised, and the pattern created by the formation of the holes 20 can add design to the headgear 10. Also, it is preferable to provide the holes 20 in the side portion 4, taking into consideration that the wind from the front in the direction of travel becomes stronger when riding a bicycle. However, when used in rainy weather, it can be used as rain gear to prevent the head from getting wet, and when considering protection from the rain, it is required to be dense enough to provide rainproof properties that prevent the head from getting wet.

[0033] It is difficult to make the thin film M strong enough to meet the standards for helmets worn to protect the head while riding a bicycle, but from the standpoint of head protection, the thin film M can also be made of hard plastic, metal, etc. to give it strength. Alternatively, the headgear 10 can be used by medical personnel in the field of medicine. In such a case, it is preferable that at least the thin film M is made of a transparent material within the range of vision so that the person wearing the headgear 10 can see the surroundings well while wearing the headgear 10.

[0034] The collar section 12, which is the portion of the headgear 10 excluding the protective section 11, is made up of the collar section 6 and the joint section 7, and the collar section 6 and the joint section 7 work together to stabilize the headgear 10 when worn. In the headgear 10 of the present disclosure, in order to protect the hairstyle, it is important that the headgear 10 does not come into contact with the top, sides, back, or front of the head, in other words, that the protective section 11 is positioned without touching the hair, and the collar section 12 is the portion that plays such a role.

[0035] The collar 6, which is a part of the collar portion 12, is a portion that faces the neck when the headgear 10 is worn. The lower end 6e of the collar 6 on the side of the head rests on both shoulders, and the headgear 10 can be fixed around the neck by the joint 7 and the collar 6, which will be described later. Therefore, if the collar 6 is soft, the part of the headgear 10 above the collar 6 may move and hit the head, causing the hair to become messy. Therefore, the collar 6 must have a hardness that allows it to be fixed firmly around the neck. However, since the size of the neck varies from person to person, the collar 6 must have a flexibility that allows it to be expanded or narrowed to a degree that can flexibly accommodate the size. More specifically, it is preferable that the collar 6 has a hardness and deformation performance equivalent to that of the stand-up collar of a male school uniform. The collar portion 6 can also be formed by a framework B and a thin film M.

[0036] As shown in Figs. 6 and 8, the collar 6 has a pair of joints 7, 7 extending from each end of the collar 6 at the end in the neck direction. Unlike the collar 6, the joints 7 are made of a soft material, and are preferably made of a thin film M without a framework B. The joint position of the joints 7 can be changed by adjusting the joint locations of the hook-and-loop fasteners 7a, 7a provided on the left and right pair of joints 7, 7, respectively, and the collar 6 can be fixed to the neck by adjusting the total length of the collar 6 and the joints 7 to a length that matches the size of the neck of the person wearing the headgear. In this way, the collar 6 and the joints 7 are integrated and these parts are fastened and fixed to the neck of the person wearing the headgear 10, or to the neck and chin area.

[0037] The joint 7 is preferably formed of the thin film M as described above, but the upper side of the joint 7 may have a core 7b that is harder than the other parts of the joint 7. By having the core 7b, the flexibility of the entire joint 7 is not lost, and even when it functions as a part of the collar 6, it can have a certain degree of strength. The core 7b is different from the material constituting the framework B, and even if it is made of the thin film M, a material harder than the parts other than the core 7b can be used. The joint 7 can also be provided with buttons 7c, 7c. By providing a pair of buttons 7c, 7c on both joints 7, 7, it is possible to know that the positions of the buttons 7c, 7c are exactly symmetrical on the left and right of the headgear 10, so that when putting on the headgear 10, the position of the buttons 7c, 7c can be confirmed with the fingers without looking in a mirror, and the headgear 10 can be put on correctly without shifting left and right.

[0038] The position of the hook-and-loop fastener 7a at the joint 7 can be provided on the inner surface of the headgear 10 at the joint 7, as shown in Figure 5, but at the left and right joints 7, 7, hook-and-loop fasteners 7a, 7a may be provided on the inner surface of one and the outer surface of the other, so that the pair of joints 7, 7 are overlapped. Further, the means for joining the joining parts 7, 7 provided on both the left and right sides of the headgear 10 can be various joining methods including buttons and buttonholes instead of the hook-and-loop fasteners 7a, 7a.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 8, it is preferable to provide skin contact pads 31, 32a, 32b on the inside of the collar 6. The skin contact pads 31, 32a, 32b shown in this embodiment are composed of a rear pad 31 that contacts the rear side of the neck and a pair of side pads 32a, 32b that contact the sides of the neck (both side pads 32a, 32b are collectively referred to as side pads 32). When the skin contact pads 31, 32 are not provided, the soft skin contact pads 31, 32 contact the neck, improving the wearing comfort of the headgear 10 compared to when a relatively hard part of the collar 6 directly contacts the neck.

[0040] Of the skin contact pads 31 and 32, the pair of side pads 32a and 32b are preferably the same in size, shape, and horizontal height. This is because left and right uniformity is required. On the other hand, the rear pad 31 may have the same size, shape, and horizontal height as the side pad 32, but they may be different. In one embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the side pad 32 is wider than the rear pad 31, has a thicker inner thickness, and is provided at a lower horizontal height. The reason why the side pad 32 is formed wide and thicker inner thickness is to stably contact the side of the neck, and the reason why the side pad 32 and the rear pad 31 are different in height is to prevent the headgear 10 from swaying or moving in the front-back direction when the headgear 10 is worn.

[0041] The headgear 10 may also be provided with a skirt portion (not shown) that covers the area below the collar portion 6. When using a raincoat in rainy weather, the headgear 10 can be used instead of the headgear, without using the head covering portion, and the skirt portion can prevent rain from entering from below the headgear 10.

[0042] A handle (not shown) can be provided on the outside of the collar 6 of the headgear 10 to serve as a handle when carrying the headgear 10. For example, it can be in the shape of a belt wrapped around the back with two fulcrums on the sides of the neck. When the headgear 10 is worn, the handle is stored on the outside of the collar 6 so as to be wrapped around the collar 6, but when the headgear 10 is not worn, the handle can be picked up and the headgear 10 can be carried. When the handle is supported in this way, the internal space of the protective part 11 can be used as a storage space. Therefore, the raincoat used in rainy weather can be packed into this internal space, and the raincoat can be carried along with the headgear 10.

[0043] The headgear 10 is basically manufactured by forming a three-dimensional framework B and then attaching a thin film M to its surface to finish it, but it may also be molded three-dimensionally after attaching a thin film M to a two-dimensional framework B, or it may be manufactured by joining a partly formed framework B and a thin film M. Also, when the headgear 10 is not constructed from a framework B and a thin film M, but is entirely made of a plastic or the like that can maintain its external shape, it may be manufactured by molding that plastic.

[0044] The above embodiment is merely an example of the present invention, and may further include known means and methods, and may be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
