Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The heatstroke prevention hat of Patent Document 1 is a cap-shaped hat worn on the head and is formed of a mesh fabric with good ventilation. However, when the outside air temperature is high in midsummer or the like, a coolant or the like may be warmed by the outside air, and the cooling effect of the coolant on the head may be impaired. The scalp cooling hat of Patent Document 2 has a complicated structure and is aimed at preventing hair loss on the head due to the side effects of chemotherapy in cancer treatment, but it is considered not suitable for heatstroke prevention measures under the scorching sun. The hat of Patent Document 3 is for cold protection and does not consider heatstroke prevention.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a lightweight heatstroke prevention hat having heatstroke prevention performance with a simple configuration.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present invention generally has an approximately elliptical outer shape, a flat top plate, a temporal band that wraps around the lower part of the outer edge of the top plate in a band shape and has an upper part connected to the outer edge excluding the rear part of the top plate, and a sunshade plate that protrudes forward from the lower edge of the front part of the temporal band, wherein the top plate, the temporal band, and the sunshade plate are formed of a foamed cushioning material, a pocket is provided on the lower side of the top plate, and a coolant capable of cooling the wearer's head is detachable from the pocket through a gap between the rear part of the top plate and the rear part of the temporal band. It is a heatstroke prevention hat characterized by this.

[0007] In the present invention, the upper edge of the wing plate of the foamed cushioning material is connected to the lower edge from the middle to the rear part of the temporal band, and the coolant is also detachable from the wing plate. It is characterized by this.

[0008] In the present invention, the top plate, the temporal band, the sunshade plate, and the wing plate are foldable. It is characterized by this.

Effects of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, the heatstroke prevention hat includes a plate-shaped top plate, a sunshade plate, and a band-shaped temporal band. These plate-shaped and band-shaped members can be easily formed from a foamed cushioning material supplied as a sheet-shaped packaging material. Since the foamed cushioning material has heat insulation properties, if a coolant is attached to a pocket provided below the top plate, the coolant is difficult to warm up in the outside air and can effectively cool the wearer's head. Therefore, a heatstroke prevention hat with a simple structure, heat prevention properties, and lightweight can be provided.

[0010] Also according to the present invention, the temporal region can also be protected from heat using the wing plates.

[0011] Also according to the present invention, since it can be folded, the portability is also improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 2 show the configuration of the heatstroke prevention hat 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIGS. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 show the configuration of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In each figure, corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations may be omitted. In addition, although the description of each embodiment is made with reference to the figures, the description of the parts omitted in the figure to be described may also be made using the reference numerals attached to other figures.

Embodiment

[0014] FIGS. 1 and 2 show the configurations of the heatstroke prevention hat 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention as seen from the front and the right side, respectively. The heatstroke prevention hat 1 includes a top plate 2, a temporal band 3, and a sunshade plate 4. The top plate 2 is flat and appears substantially linear when viewed from the front and the side. The temporal band 3 is in a band shape, and the upper edges of the front portion 3a, the right side portion 3b, and the left side portion 3c of the temporal band 3 are connected to the outer edge of the top plate 2 excluding the rear portion. The sunshade plate 4 protrudes forward from the lower edge of the front portion 3a of the temporal band 3. The rear portion 3d of the temporal band 3 has a narrower vertical width than the front portion 3a, the right side portion 3b, and the left side portion 3c. There are gaps between the rear portion of the top plate 2 and the rear portion 3d of the temporal band 3, and below the rear portion 3d. A belt 5 is provided in the gap below the rear portion 3d and can be fastened after the heatstroke prevention hat 1 is worn on the head.

[0015] The top plate 2, the temporal band 3, and the sunshade plate 4 are formed of a polyethylene foam cushioning material called "Puchi Puchi" (a trademark and a protective mark registered by Kawakami Sangyo Co., Ltd.), and a lining can be added in the same manner as in Patent Document 3. By using a foamed cushioning material, the heatstroke prevention hat 1 can be simplified in configuration and reduced in weight, and a coolant 6 having a cooling effect, such as a cold storage agent or a heat storage agent, can be detachably inserted into the gap between the rear portion of the top plate 2 and the rear portion 3d of the temporal band 3 below the top plate 2.

[0016] Figures 3 and 4 show a partial configuration for storing and attaching / detaching the coolant 6 in the heatstroke prevention hat 1 as seen from the bottom surface. As shown in Figure 3, it has a roughly elliptical outer shape, and a pocket 2a is provided below the top plate 2. Figure 4 shows a state where the coolant 6 is stored in the pocket 2a. When using a cold storage agent or a cold storage material as the coolant 6, it is inserted into the pocket 2a in a low-temperature state cooled in a refrigerator or the like, and taken out from the pocket 2a when the temperature rises. By inserting a separately prepared low-temperature coolant 6, the head of the wearer can be continuously cooled.

Embodiment

[0017] Figures 5, 6, 7, and 8 respectively show the configurations of the heatstroke prevention hat 11 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention as seen from the front, back, right side, and bottom surface. The heatstroke prevention hat 11 basically includes the configuration of the heatstroke prevention hat 1 of Embodiment 1, and further includes a wing plate 17 made of a foamed buffer material connected to the lower edge from the middle to the rear of the temporal band 2. The heatstroke prevention hat 11 has a configuration in which the wing plate 17 is added to the heatstroke prevention hat 1 of Embodiment 1. As shown in Figure 7, the coolant 5 can also be attached / detached inside the wing plate 17. As shown in Figure 8, a pocket 17a is provided inside the wing plate 17. Figure 9 shows a state where the coolant 6 is being attached / detached with the hand 10 in the pocket 17a of the wing plate 17. The heatstroke prevention hat 11 of the present Embodiment 2 can also prevent heatstroke on the temporal region using the wing plate 17. When using a cold storage agent cooled in a refrigerator as the coolant 6 in the heatstroke prevention hat 11, it can be cooled for 1 hour and 30 minutes during loading work in a poorly ventilated warehouse or on a golf course, and for 2 hours and 20 minutes during commuting or shopping.

[0018] Figure 10 shows the state where the heatstroke prevention hat 11 is folded. Figure 10(a) shows the state as seen from the right side, and Figure 10(b) shows the state as seen from the bottom surface. It shows the state where the decorative body 11 of the beverage bottle, which is Embodiment 2 of the invention, is attached to the beverage bottle 2. That is, the heatstroke prevention hat 11 of the present Embodiment 2 has a good portability because the top plate 2, the temporal band 3, the sunshade plate 4, and the wing plate 17 can be folded.
