Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wig, and more particularly to a wig which has been improved so as not to cause discomfort around the hairline of the front hair, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] Various wigs have been provided in the past (for example, Patent Document 1). The wig disclosed in Patent Document 1 has artificial hair implanted in a net sheet body that is placed on the wearer's head, and artificial hair implanted in a hairline sheet facing the hairline located at least above the wearer's eyebrows. The hairline sheet has a base material made of a flexible net piece having numerous meshes that fits and adheres to the hairline, and has a sheet-like portion on which a film is formed to block the meshes of the net piece. This wig has a double-sided adhesive tape provided on the underside of the sheet-like portion of the hairline sheet, and is attached to the wearer's head via the double-sided adhesive tape. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4498446 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the wig of Patent Document 1 has a problem that, since the sheet-like portion that blocks the mesh in the hairline sheet is formed by hardening a synthetic resin liquid, when the wearer wears the wig, a boundary is created between the part of the hairline where the sheet-like portion is formed and the part where it is not, and this boundary appears as a different line on the wearer's scalp. Therefore, if a synthetic resin sheet-like portion is provided in the hairline, there is a possibility that a third party will recognize that a wig is being worn.

[0005] Furthermore, providing a synthetic resin sheet-like portion around the hairline reduces the breathability of the hairline, which can be uncomfortable for the wearer.

[0006] Incidentally, the conventional wig as described above is formed by tying the hair roots to the threads 101 forming the mesh of the net 100 when implanting the artificial hair 30, as shown in FIG. 8. Therefore, on the surface of the lower side of the net 100 to which the hair 30 is implanted, as shown in the enlarged view A of FIG. 8, minute irregularities are generated due to the knots of the hair roots. Due to the presence of such minute irregularities, even if a double-sided adhesive tape 41 is attached to the lower side of the net 100, a gap 110 is generated between the net 100 and the double-sided adhesive tape 41, the contact area between the net 100 and the double-sided adhesive tape 41 is reduced, and the double-sided adhesive tape 41 is easily peeled off from the net 100. Therefore, it is difficult for the conventional wig to be attached to the head of the wearer using the double-sided adhesive tape without providing a sheet-like portion.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wig that can be worn on the head without creating any extraneous lines on the wearer's scalp and while ensuring breathability. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the solution adopted by the present invention is a wig (1) having a base (10) having a downward-dish shaped net sheet main body (11) to be worn on the wearer's head, with hair (30) made of artificial hair implanted thereon, wherein the base (10) further has a hair implantation net sheet (12) superimposed on the upper surface of the net sheet main body (11) at the peripheral portion of the net sheet main body (11), the hair (30) is implanted in the hair implantation net sheet (12) at the portion where the net sheet main body (11) and the hair implantation net sheet (12) overlap, and an adhesive means (40) is provided on the lower surface of the net sheet main body (11) on which the hair implantation net sheet (12) is superimposed.

[0009] The wig (1) having such a configuration forms the base (10) by overlapping the net sheet (12) for hair transplantation on the net sheet main body (11), so that no extraneous lines are visible on the scalp of the wearer. In addition, since the two net sheets, the net sheet main body (11) and the net sheet (12) for hair transplantation, are overlapped, breathability can be ensured throughout the inside of the base (10). Furthermore, the net sheet (12) for hair transplantation is overlapped on the upper side of the net sheet main body (11), and the hair (30) is transplanted into the net sheet (12) for hair transplantation at the overlapping portion of the net sheet main body (11) and the net sheet (12) for hair transplantation, so that no minute irregularities are generated on the lower surface side of the net sheet main body (11). Therefore, the adhesive means (40) provided on the lower surface side of the net sheet main body (11) on which the net sheet (12) for hair transplantation is overlapped can be fixed to the lower surface of the net sheet main body (11).

[0010] In addition, in the present invention, it is preferable that the hair implantation net sheet (12) is arranged in a ring shape so as to cover the upper surface side of the peripheral portion of the net sheet main body (11), and the adhesive means (40) is provided at multiple locations in the overlapping portion of the net sheet main body (11) and the hair implantation net sheet (12).

[0011] Furthermore, in the present invention, it is more preferable that the adhesive means (40) is formed of a double-sided adhesive tape (41) attached to the lower surface side of the net sheet body (11). Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a wig (1) that can be worn on the head without creating any extraneous lines on the wearer's scalp and while ensuring breathability. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings referred to below, common members are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof will be omitted.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic overall view of a wig 1 according to the present invention, and "front" in FIG. 1 indicates the front of the wig 1, and "rear" indicates the rear of the wig 1. The wig 1 is constructed by implanting artificial hair 30 on a base 10 having a downward-facing dish-shaped net sheet body 11 that is worn on the wearer's head, and it is preferable that the implantation density is gradually increased from sparse to dense from the front hair to the top hair, as shown by arrow B. Here, "artificial hair" refers to living natural hair remaining on the wearer's head, and may be natural or artificial hair.

[0016] 2 and 3 are perspective views showing the configuration of the base 10 to which the hair 30 is implanted. In addition, the hair 30 is not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the inside of the base 10 (the back side facing the wearer's head). The base 10 has a downward-dish-shaped net sheet main body 11 and a hair implantation net sheet 12 arranged in a state of being superimposed on the upper surface side of the net sheet main body 11 at the peripheral portion of the net sheet main body 11. For example, the net sheet main body 11 is arranged so as to cover the entire bald portion including the top of the wearer's head, and is a net sheet having many meshes. In contrast, the hair implantation net sheet 12 is arranged at the peripheral portion of the bald portion of the wearer's head, and is an annular net sheet having many meshes like the net sheet main body 11. The net sheet main body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12 have a certain degree of flexibility so as to fit the wearer's head. The net sheet body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12 may be made of the same material or different materials. However, in order to reduce the visibility of the boundary between the portion where the hair implantation net sheet 12 is overlapped with the net sheet body 11 and the other portion when the wearer wears the wig 1, it is more preferable to form the net sheet body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12 from the same material.

[0017] The hair implantation net sheet 12 is formed to fit the peripheral portion of the net sheet body 11, and has a rear net portion 14 distributed in a band of approximately constant width from both the left and right sides to the rear side, except for a front portion 13 located on the front side. The front portion 13 of the hair implantation net sheet 12 is formed as a front net portion 15 whose left and right sides are integrally and continuously connected to the rear net portion 14. The front net portion 15 has a plurality of net pieces 16 formed in a triangular shape that gradually narrows from the upper edge to the lower edge.

[0018] As shown by the arrow F in FIG. 2, the hair implantation net sheet 12 is superimposed on the peripheral portion of the net sheet body 11 from the upper side thereof, and is integrally sewn to the net sheet body 11. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the hair implantation net sheet 12 is superimposed on the net sheet body 11, and the inner edge portion 17 is sewn to the net sheet body 11 by the thread, and the outer edge portion 18 is sewn to the net sheet body 11 by the thread. That is, at least the inner edge portion 17 and the outer edge portion 18 of the hair implantation net sheet 12 are sewn to the net sheet body 11 by the thread. In addition, it is preferable that the center portion 19 between the inner edge portion 17 and the outer edge portion 18 of the hair implantation net sheet 12 is also sewn to the net sheet body 11 by the thread. It is preferable that the center portion 19 between the inner edge portion 17 and the outer edge portion 18 is zigzag sewn in an oblique direction by the thread, for example, as shown in FIG. 4. The central portion 19 between the inner edge portion 17 and the outer edge portion 18 of the hair implantation net sheet 12 is also sewn to the net sheet body 11, thereby preventing the central portion 19 of the hair implantation net sheet 12 from unnaturally floating up from the net sheet body 11.

[0019] When the hair implantation net sheet 12 is sewn and joined to the net sheet body 11, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the tip 16a of each net piece 16 is at approximately the same position as the outer edge 11a of the net sheet body 11. The net piece 16 forms an outline that gradually narrows from the upper edge of the hair implantation net sheet 12 toward the tip 16a of the lower edge. Therefore, in the front part 13 of the base 10, the upper edge of the hair implantation net sheet 12 maintains the shape of the base 10 by sewing with the net sheet body 11. In contrast, the net piece 16 weakens its shape retention force toward its tip 16a, so that the flexibility of the net sheet body 11 alone increases. Therefore, even if both the left and right sides of the base 10 are pulled downward when the wig 1 is worn, the flexibility of the net sheet body 11 alone in the front part 13 of the base 10 absorbs the tension caused by the pulling, and the sewn part between the net sheet body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12 can be prevented from breaking. If the stitching breaks, the hair transplant net sheet 12 will rise up from the net sheet main body 11, and the transplanted hair 30 will appear unnatural. In particular, in the front part 13 of the base 10, the wearer may make a gesture of brushing up the front part of the hair 30 transplanted to the base 10, and if the hair 30 appears unnatural, it may be revealed that it is a wig 1. Therefore, the base 10 of this wig 1 has a plurality of net pieces 16 formed in the front part 13 of the hair transplant net sheet 12 to prevent the stitching between the net sheet main body 11 and the hair transplant net sheet 12 from breaking.

[0020] The base 10 configured as above has a single-layer net part 21 made of the net sheet main body 11, and a multi-layer net part 22 in which the net sheet main body 11 and the net sheet for hair implantation 12 are overlapped, as shown in Fig. 4. Hair 30 is implanted in both the single-layer net part 21 and the multi-layer net part 22. For example, in the single-layer net part 21, the hair 30 is implanted in the mesh of the net sheet main body 11. In contrast, in the multi-layer net part 22, the hair 30 is implanted in the mesh of the net sheet for hair implantation 12 located above the net sheet main body 11.

[0021] FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing the hair 30 implanted in the multi-layer net part 22. FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the hair 30 implanted in the multi-layer net part 22. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6(A), the hair 30 in the multi-layer net part 22 is implanted by tying the hair root part 31 to the thread 12a forming the mesh of the hair implantation net sheet 12. In other words, the hair 30 is not implanted in the net sheet body 11 located below the hair implantation net sheet 12 in the multi-layer net part 22. Therefore, in the wig 1, in the multi-layer net part 22 in which the net sheet body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12 are overlapped, minute unevenness due to the knot of the hair root part 31 is not generated on the lower surface 11b of the net sheet body 11. Therefore, the wig 1 can be fixed by attaching an adhesive means 40 to the lower surface 11b of the net sheet body 11 as shown in FIG. 6(B).

[0022] In other words, the base 10 is configured such that the hair transplant net sheet 12 is arranged in a state where it is overlapped on the upper surface of the net sheet main body 11 at the peripheral portion of the net sheet main body 11, and hair 30 is transplanted into the hair transplant net sheet 12 at the overlapping portion of the net sheet main body 11 and the hair transplant net sheet 12, and an adhesive means 40 is provided on the underside of the net sheet main body 11 on which the hair transplant net sheet 12 is overlapped.

[0023] Here, the adhesive means 40 is preferably provided at multiple locations in the overlapping portion of the net sheet body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12. That is, the overlapping portion of the net sheet body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12 is annularly distributed on the periphery of the base 10. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange the adhesive means 40 at multiple locations on the front side, both left and right sides, and the rear side of the base 10, for example. By arranging the adhesive means 40 at multiple locations on the inside of the base 10, it becomes possible to fix the entire periphery of the base 10 to the wearer's head.

[0024] In this embodiment, the adhesive means 40 is, for example, a double-sided adhesive tape 41. When the double-sided adhesive tape 41 is attached to the lower surface 11b of the net sheet body 11, the double-sided adhesive tape 41 comes into surface contact with the lower surface 11b of the net sheet body 11, except for the mesh portion of the net sheet body 11. At this time, the double-sided adhesive tape 41 does not create a gap between the lower surface 11b of the net sheet body 11 as in the conventional case, so that a large contact area with the net sheet body 11 can be secured. Therefore, the double-sided adhesive tape 41 is not easily peeled off from the net sheet body 11, and is fixed to the lower surface 11b of the net sheet body 11. This allows the wig 1 to be attached to the wearer's head using the double-sided adhesive tape 41 without providing a sheet-like portion as in the conventional case.

[0025] In addition, since the wig 1 does not have a sheet-like portion made of hardened synthetic resin liquid on the base 10, the boundary between the portion with the sheet-like portion and the portion without it does not appear as a line at the hairline when the wig is worn by the wearer. Therefore, there is no possibility that a third party will notice that the wig 1 is being worn.

[0026] Furthermore, since the base 10 is composed of the net sheet body 11 and the hair implantation net sheet 12 overlapping each other, breathability is ensured throughout the entire inside of the wig 1, so the wearer will not feel uncomfortable.

[0027] Next, FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing a head 50 with a wig 1 attached. As described above, the hair implantation net sheet 12 is disposed on the upper side of the net sheet body 11. Therefore, the step 45 generated by overlapping the hair implantation net sheet 12 on the net sheet body 11 is located on the upper side of the net sheet body 11 (outside the base 10). If the hair implantation net sheet 12 is disposed on the lower side of the net sheet body 11, this step 45 is located on the lower side of the net sheet body 11 (inside the base 10) and comes into contact with the wearer's scalp, causing the wearer to feel uncomfortable. However, since the wig 1 forms the step 45 on the upper side of the net sheet body 11 (outside the base 10), the step 45 does not come into direct contact with the wearer's scalp, and does not cause the wearer to feel uncomfortable.

[0028] As described above, the base 10 of the wig 1 is configured by overlapping the net sheet 12 for hair transplantation on the upper surface side of the net sheet main body 11 at the peripheral portion of the net sheet main body 11, and the hair 30 is transplanted to the net sheet 12 for hair transplantation at the overlapping portion of the net sheet main body 11 and the net sheet 12 for hair transplantation, and the adhesive means 40 is provided on the lower surface side of the net sheet main body 11 on which the net sheet 12 for hair transplantation is overlapped. The wig 1 having such a configuration does not make a foreign line stand out on the wearer's scalp, and can ensure breathability. Furthermore, the wig 1 can fix the adhesive means 40 to the lower surface side of the net sheet main body 11, so that the base 10 can be firmly fixed to the wearer's head.

[0029] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. In other words, the present invention includes various modified versions of the embodiment described above.

[0030] For example, in the above embodiment, the hair implantation net sheet 12 is configured as a ring-shaped net sheet and is arranged in a ring shape so as to cover the entire peripheral area of ​​the net sheet main body 11. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hair implantation net sheet 12 may be arranged so as to cover at least a part of the peripheral area of ​​the net sheet main body 11. For example, the hair implantation net sheet 12 may be arranged only on the front side corresponding to the front part 13 of the base 10.

[0031] In the above embodiment, a form in which a plurality of net pieces 16 are formed on the front portion 13 of the hair implantation net sheet 12 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the above-mentioned net pieces 16 may be formed on a portion other than the front portion 13 of the hair implantation net sheet 12.
