[0001] The present invention relates to an instant shade made of fabric with shape memory wire inside the hem, with a belt attached so that it can be worn on the head like a hat. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, there have been parasols, hats, sun visors, etc. as means for blocking sunlight, and there have been parasols with shape-memory wires (see Patent Document 1). There is also a hat with a shape memory wire (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3226583 [Patent Document 2] Registered Utility Model Publication No. 3056835 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] This caused the following problems: (i) Parasols are bulky and difficult to use in crowds, and the handles mean you cannot use both hands. (b) The hat had a small sunshade area and was prone to stuffiness, sweat stains, and odor due to the heat. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] One side of two pieces of fabric with shape memory wire inserted into the hem and the curved parts on both ends of the joint of that side are connected, and a length-adjustable belt-like part is provided on both ends of the curve. The fabric containing the shape memory wire is folded over at the seam, and when in use, the two pieces of fabric are opened, the seam is placed over the top of the head, and the two pieces of fabric are worn to block the sun's rays from the front and back of the head, and it can be used like a hat by fastening it under the chin with a belt or through the shoulder straps of a backpack, etc. When storing, it can be folded up small by applying a twisting force to the shape memory wire. This is an instant shade that has the above characteristics. Effect of the Invention
[0006] It blocks the sun from the front and back while being breathable, preventing scalp sweat, sweat stains, and odors.It also doesn't take up much space so you can use it in a crowd, leaving both hands free, and it can be stored small and easily carried. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (i) A piece of fabric (1) is provided with a shape memory wire inserted into the edge of the fabric. (b) Two pieces of fabric (1) are joined together, with one side folded over to create (2). (c) (3) is provided by connecting both ends of the mountain fold (2) with a curve. (ii) A belt-like member (4) whose length can be adjusted is provided on the curved and joined parts (3). (e) The belt-shaped (4) is provided with a part (5) that fixes its length. The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. When using the present invention, the overlapping fabric (1) is opened, the folded part (2) where the two pieces are joined is placed over the top of the head, and the opened fabric (1) is adjusted to block the sun's rays from the front and back of the head. Hold the belt-like part (4) attached to the curved part (3) in both hands, adjust the length, and secure it with part (5) around the chin so that it does not slip. The fixing parts (5) are buckles, Velcro, or other fasteners that can be easily attached and detached by anyone. In addition, by changing the length of the belt-like (4), it can be secured to the shoulder strap of a backpack or the like. It can also be used as a fastener when folding it up small and storing it as shown in Figure 4 by holding it diagonally from the state shown in Figure 2 and twisting it into an eight shape, or as a part to hang it when carrying it around. In addition, by changing the material and color of the fabric (1), it can be used not only as a sunshade but also as a simple umbrella to protect from the rain, and can be used to organize teams or cheer on other teams by color coding, or to create animals or characters by attaching eyes and ears, making it fun for both adults and children.
