Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hat and a helmet with a hat. [Background technology]

[0002] Although the law has been amended to make it mandatory for people to wear helmets when riding bicycles, helmets are less fashionable than hats and some people dislike wearing them.

[0003] In order to encourage such people to wear helmets, Patent Document 1 discloses a hat that can be worn over a helmet.

[0004] However, when using the hat shown in Patent Document 1, it is difficult for people around you to know that you are wearing a helmet. Therefore, there is a risk that a police officer or the like will warn you off even if you are wearing a helmet. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-25815 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to make it possible for people around you to know that you are wearing a helmet. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] That is, the hat according to the present invention is a hat having a crown that is placed over the body of a helmet, and is characterized in that an eye hole is formed in the crown.

[0008] According to the present invention, the helmet can be seen through the peephole, so that others can see that the person is wearing the helmet.

[0009] When a wearer puts the hat directly on his head, it looks bad if the peephole remains open. Therefore, the hat may further include a cover for opening and closing the peephole, and an attachment / detachment mechanism for attaching and detaching the cover to and from the crown.

[0010] According to this configuration, when the hat is worn directly on the head, the peephole can be closed by the lid, so that the hat does not look unsightly.

[0011] For example, if the peep hole is formed on the side of the crown, the helmet cannot be seen from some directions, so the peep hole may be formed on the top of the crown.

[0012] With this configuration, the helmet can be viewed through the sight hole from any direction.

[0013] A specific embodiment of the attachment / detachment mechanism is one in which the cover is sized to fit within the peephole, and the attachment / detachment mechanism is a fastener interposed between the outer peripheral edge of the cover and the inner peripheral edge of the peephole.

[0014] If the fastening mechanism is conspicuous, the fashionability of the hat is diminished. Therefore, the entire top part of the crown may be an eye hole, and the fastener may be provided along the boundary between the top part and the side parts of the crown.

[0015] With this configuration, the attachment / detachment mechanism extends along the boundary between the top and sides of the head, making it less noticeable.

[0016] The helmet with cap according to the present invention is a helmet with cap comprising a cap having a crown covering a cap body, characterized in that an eye hole is formed in the crown.

[0017] According to the present invention, the helmet can be seen through the peephole, so that others can see that the person is wearing the helmet. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention configured in this manner, it becomes easier for others to know that you are wearing a helmet. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a helmet with a cap according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs.

[0021] <Embodiment> As shown in FIG. 1, the helmet with hat 100 according to this embodiment comprises a helmet 10, a hat 20 that is worn over the helmet 10, and a fixing mechanism 30 for fixing the hat 20 to the helmet 10.

[0022] The helmet 10 includes a helmet body 11 that protects the wearer's head, and a chin strap 12 for fastening the helmet body 11 to the head. Although not shown, an impact absorbing mechanism is provided on the inside of the helmet body 11.

[0023] The hat 20 includes a dome-shaped crown 21 that is placed on the hat body 11 of the helmet 10, and a brim 22 that protrudes outward from an open end 21a of the crown 21. The hat 20 of this embodiment is a hat type hat in which the brim 22 protrudes from the entire periphery of the open end 21a of the crown 21. The hat 22 further includes a size adjustment mechanism 23 for adjusting the size of the crown 21.

[0024] The size adjustment mechanism 23 adjusts the opening size of the crown 21 when the wearer puts the hat 20 directly on the head. Specifically, the size adjustment mechanism 23 includes a plurality of loops 23a intermittently provided along the outer peripheral surface of the opening end of the crown 21, and a drawstring 23b threaded through each loop 23a, both ends of which are tied together. The opening size of the crown 21 can be adjusted by changing the knot position of the drawstring 23b.

[0025] The fixing mechanism 30 is interposed between the helmet 10 and the hat 20, and fixes the hat 20 to the helmet 10 in a detachable manner. The fixing mechanism 30 of this embodiment is a hook-and-loop fastener interposed between the helmet 10 and the hat 20, and is provided in multiple pairs of male and female fasteners on the outer peripheral surface of the opening end of the hat body 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the opening end of the crown 21. Specifically, the hook-and-loop fasteners are provided intermittently along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface. The fixing mechanism 30 is not limited to a hook-and-loop fastener, and may be a button, etc.

[0026] Thus, a peep hole 21h is formed in the crown 21, and when the helmet 10 is put on, a part of the helmet 10 is exposed through the peep hole 21h. In other words, the peep hole 21h penetrates the crown 21. The peep hole 21h is large enough to allow the helmet 10 inside to be seen from the surroundings, and is preferably 2% to 30% of the total area of ​​the crown 21. A plurality of peep holes 21h may be formed, but in this case, it is preferable that the total area of ​​the plurality of peep holes 21h is less than 30%. If the area is less than 2%, it becomes difficult to see the helmet 10 from the surroundings, and if the area is more than 30%, the design of the hat 20 becomes poor.

[0027] In the crown 21 of this embodiment, a peep hole 21h is formed in the top part. More specifically, the crown 21 has the peep hole 21h over the entire top part. In other words, when the crown 21 is placed over the helmet 10, it covers only the head side part of the hat body 11. When the entire top part is made into the peep hole 21h, the size of the peep hole 21h is about 30% of the total area of ​​the crown 21.

[0028] The hat 20 further includes a lid 24 that closes the peephole 21h. The lid 24 in this embodiment is sized to fit inside the peephole 21h and can be attached to and detached from the crown 21 via an attachment / detachment mechanism 25 interposed between the lid 24 and the crown 21.

[0029] Specifically, the fastening mechanism 25 is a pair of male and female fasteners provided on the inner peripheral edge of the peephole 21h and the outer peripheral edge of the cover 24. In the crown 21 of this embodiment, the entire top portion is the peephole 21h, so the fastener extends along the boundary between the top portion and the side portions of the head. Note that the fastening mechanism 25 is not limited to a fastener, and may be, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or a button.

[0030] When using the helmet with hat 100 of this embodiment, the helmet 10 with the hat 20 is worn when riding a bicycle. At this time, the lid 25 is removed. On the other hand, when getting off the bicycle, the opening of the crown 21 is narrowed by the size adjustment mechanism 23 and the helmet is worn directly on the head. At this time, the lid 10 is attached.

[0031] In the case of the helmet 100 with hat of this embodiment, the helmet 10 can be seen through the peephole 21h, so people around you can tell that you are wearing the helmet 10. This makes it harder for police officers to notice you. In addition, because the peephole 21h is formed in the top of the crown 21, the helmet 10 is easy to see from any direction.

[0032] In addition, since the hat 20 can be worn while riding a bicycle, the hat 20 can be prevented from losing its shape.

[0033] In addition, since the peephole 21h can be closed by the cover 25, the hat 20 does not look bad even if worn directly on the head.

[0034] In addition, the fastening mechanism 25 is formed along the boundary between the top and sides of the crown 21, so that it is hardly noticeable.

[0035] <Other embodiments> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the peephole 21h may be formed in the head side of the crown 21 as shown in FIG.

[0036] Furthermore, although the hat in the above embodiment is a hat type, it is not limited to this and may be, for example, a cap type or a hunting type in which a brim protrudes from a part of the opening edge of the crown, or a knit hat type without a brim.

[0037] In addition, in the above embodiment, the peephole is circular, but is not limited to this and may be other shapes, such as a heart shape or a polygonal shape such as a diamond shape.

[0038] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
