DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which a face band 1 of the present embodiment is worn by a user.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 1, the face band 1 of this embodiment can cover the user's head. The face band 1 can cover the eyes, ears, temples, and nape of the neck when worn on the user's head. The face band 1 of this embodiment covers at least the user's eyes and warms the user's head, thereby supporting the user's quality sleep.

[0016] Specifically, the face band 1 is an annular band that can be worn on the user's head and cover at least the eye area. The face band 1 includes a first annular portion 101 (see FIG. 6 described later) formed by an annular cloth, a fourth annular portion 104 (see FIG. 2 described later) formed by an annular cloth and provided to overlap the first annular portion 101 at the outer periphery of the inner annular portion, a first folded-back portion 33 (see FIG. 2 described later) that is an end of at least one opening of the first annular portion 101, and a connecting portion 40 (see FIG. 2 described later) that partially connects the opening of the fourth annular portion 104 facing the first folded-back portion 33 in the circumferential direction. And the face band 1 is composed of a plurality of layers of annular portions, so that the heat retention property is high. Further, the face band 1 partially connects the ends of the plurality of layers of annular portions, thereby maintaining the multi-layer structure while ensuring stretchability in the circumferential direction, enabling the user to wear it comfortably. Hereinafter, the face band 1 of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

[0017] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the face band 1 of the present embodiment as seen from one end side. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the face band 1 of the present embodiment as seen from the other end side.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the face band 1 of the present embodiment is formed by an annular and endless band. The face band 1 is formed by a reversible knitting in which a silk thread and a thread of a fiber having moisture absorption and heat generation properties (hereinafter referred to as moisture absorption and heat generation fiber) are looped and intertwined.

[0019] In this embodiment, the inner surface 100A (see FIG. 4 described later) of the cloth 100 constituting the face band 1 is mainly composed of multiple loops of moisture-absorbing heat-generating fiber yarn. Also, one outer surface 100B (see FIG. 4 described later) of the cloth 100 constituting the face band 1 is mainly composed of multiple loops of silk yarn. The moisture-absorbing heat-generating fiber can be composed of a blend of acrylic yarn, cupra yarn, cotton yarn, and polyurethane yarn. This moisture-absorbing heat-generating fiber has the same thermal conductivity as silk. The moisture-absorbing heat-generating fiber is a fiber that has the property of adsorption heat, which generates heat when it adsorbs moisture such as sweat. The blend ratio of the fabrics constituting the face band 1 of this embodiment is approximately 48% silk, approximately 30% acrylic, approximately 20% cupra, approximately 3% cotton, and approximately 1% polyurethane. In this way, approximately half of the face band 1 is made of silk.

[0020] The face band 1 is formed by knitting a looped silk thread and a blended thread constituting a moisture absorbing and heat generating fiber into a cylindrical shape in a single layer. The cylindrical cloth 100 (see FIG. 4 described later) that is the base material of the face band 1 of this embodiment is circularly knitted, and a milling knit can be applied. In addition, the face band 1 is an endless belt with no joints by sewing in the circumferential direction. As a result, the face band 1 has higher elasticity in the circumferential direction compared to the axial direction, which is the direction in which the head is passed. In the face band 1 of this embodiment, the face band 1 is configured to be easily stretched in the circumferential direction, thereby reducing the feeling of tightness on the head. In addition, the face band 1 has relatively low elasticity in the axial direction, thereby suppressing displacement in the axial direction when worn on the user's head.

[0021] The face band 1 is made up of multiple layers of knitted fabric (for example, fabric 100, described later) stacked four times. In the face band 1 of this embodiment, a single tubular fabric is folded over as described later to achieve a four-layer structure as a whole. The inner surface of the face band 1 is called the inner part 1A. The outer surface of the face band 1 is called the outer part 1B. When the face band 1 is worn on the user's head, the inner part 1A of the face band 1 is the surface that faces the user's skin. On the other hand, the outer part 1B of the face band 1 is the surface that faces outward, opposite the user's skin. The face band 1 is made up of multiple layers, which makes it easier to retain the user's heat and improves heat retention.

[0022] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the face band 1 of this embodiment has one end 11 at one end side in the axial direction (cylinder axial direction) corresponding to the direction in which the user's head passes. The general shape of the one end 11 is substantially circular when the face band 1 is opened in a circular shape. The one end 11 is formed by the first end 31, the second end 32, and the first folded portion 33 (see FIG. 6 described later). Then, the first folded portion 33, the first end 31, and the second end 32 are arranged in this order from the inside to the outside of the face band 1. Thus, in the face band 1 of this embodiment, the first folded portion 33 is located at the innermost position at the one end 11.

[0023] In addition, in the face band 1 of this embodiment, the first end 31 and the second end 32 (joint portion 210 described later) are formed in a frill shape that is a wave-shaped shape. The first end 31 and the second end 32 are located outside the first folded-back portion 33. That is, in the face band 1, on the one end 11 side, a wave-shaped frill-shaped portion formed by the first end 31 and the second end 32 is provided on the outside.

[0024] The face band 1 has a fastening portion 40 at one end 11 for fastening the first folded portion 33, the first end 31, and the second end 32. The fastening portion 40 can be sewn by wrapping the first folded portion 33, the first end 31, and the second end 32 with cotton thread, for example. In this embodiment, the fastening portion 40 is partially provided in a plurality of places (four places in this embodiment) in the circumferential direction of the substantially circular one end 11. The multiple fastening portions 40 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction. In this manner, the face band 1 of this embodiment is point sewn by the fastening portion 40. Therefore, the face band 1 has improved softness and elasticity and realizes a moderate fit that does not tightly tighten the head, as compared to the case where the face band 1 is fastened around the entire circumference of the substantially circular one end 11. In addition, the face band 1 has multiple fastening portions 40 arranged at substantially equal intervals, so that the fastening portions 40 are arranged in a balanced manner with respect to the head.

[0025] 3, the face band 1 of this embodiment has the other end 12 on the other end side in the axial direction. The general shape of the other end 12 is a substantially annular opening when the face band 1 is opened in a circular shape. The other end 12 is formed by a second folded portion 34, which will be described later.

[0026] As described above, in the face band 1 of this embodiment, the first folded portion 33 is provided at the innermost part at one end 11 (see FIG. 2), and the second folded portion 34 is provided at the other end 12 (see FIG. 3). In this manner, the first folded portion 33 and the second folded portion 34 are disposed at the inner part 1A of the face band 1 that contacts the user's skin. As a result, in the face band 1 of this embodiment, when the face band 1 is passed around the head, the folded portion, the first folded portion 33 and the second folded portion 34 that are curved, are provided closest to the user's skin. Therefore, the face band 1 of this embodiment is less likely to get caught when worn by the user on the head.

[0027] Next, a method for manufacturing the face band 1 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is an overall view of a tubular cloth 100 that serves as the base material of the face band 1 of this embodiment. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a manufacturing method of the face band 1 of this embodiment.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, the face band 1 uses a tubular cloth 100. The inner surface 100A of the tubular cloth 100 is made of the silk thread described above. Meanwhile, the outer surface 100B of the tubular cloth 100 is made of the moisture absorbing heat generating fiber thread described above. The tubular cloth 100 has a first end 31 at one end in the axial direction. Furthermore, the tubular cloth 100 has a second end 32 at the other end in the axial direction. The length of the cylindrical cloth 100 in the axial direction (cylinder axis direction) is about four times the length of the face band 1 in the axial direction.

[0029] 5(A), a cylindrical cloth 100 is prepared (preparation step). As described above, the cylindrical cloth 100 has an inner surface 100A made of silk threads and an outer surface 100B made of moisture absorbing and heat generating fiber threads.

[0030] Then, as shown in FIG. 5(B), approximately half of the tubular cloth 100 in the axial direction is folded back so that the first end 31 overlaps the second end 32 (first folding step). In the example shown in FIG. 5(B), the first end 31 located at the upper side in FIG. 5 is folded back and moved downward in FIG. 5, and overlaps from the outside of the second end 32 located at the lower side in FIG. 4. As a result, the first end 31 and the second end 32 are overlapped in the tubular cloth 100. Furthermore, a first folded back portion 33 is formed in the tubular cloth 100. Here, both the inner and outer surfaces of the folded tubular cloth 100 are made of silk thread surfaces.

[0031] 5(C), the first end 31 and the second end 32 are sewn together to form a joint 210 (joining process). In this embodiment, the joint 210 is formed continuously in the circumferential direction of the openings formed by the first end 31 and the second end 32. For the joint 210, an overlock stitch can be used, in which the end of the fabric is sewn in a rolled-up manner using a stretchy blended yarn containing polyurethane.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 5(D), the cylindrical cloth 100 that has already been folded once is folded again at approximately half its axial length (second folding step). Then, the first folded portion 33 is overlapped with the joining portion 210 that joins the first end portion 31 and the second end portion 32. In the example shown in FIG. 5(D), the first folded portion 33 located on the lower side in FIG. 5 is folded back and moved toward the upper side in FIG. 5, and the first folded portion 33 is overlapped from the inside of the joining portion 210 located on the upper side in FIG. 5. This causes the first folded portion 33, the first end portion 31, and the second end portion 32 to be overlapped. Then, the second folded portion 34 is formed in the cylindrical cloth 100. Here, the cylindrical cloth 100 that has been further folded back has both inner and outer surfaces made of silk thread. The first folded portion 33, the first end portion 31, and the second end portion 32 correspond to one end portion 11 (see FIG. 2) of the face band 1. On the other hand, the second folded portion 34 corresponds to the other end portion 12 (see FIG. 2) of the face band 1.

[0033] 5(E), a fastening portion 40 is formed to partially connect the first folded portion 33 and the joint portion 210 (connecting step). Specifically, the first folded portion 33, the first end portion 31, and the second end portion 32 are fastened by sewing with thread. At this time, the fastening portion 40 is fastened partially in the circumferential direction, not around the entire circumference of the open end of one end portion 11 of the tubular cloth 100.

[0034] Next, the cross-sectional structure of the face band 1 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of a cross section of the face band 1 of this embodiment.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 6, the face band 1 of this embodiment has a four-layer structure by folding back a cylindrical cloth 100 (see FIG. 4). Here, the inner surface 100A of the cylindrical cloth 100 is mainly made of silk thread, and the outer surface 100B is mainly made of blended yarns that constitute moisture-absorbing and heat-generating fibers. In this way, the front and back surfaces of the cylindrical cloth 100 are made of different threads. And, the face band 1 of this embodiment is made by folding back and overlapping the cylindrical cloth 100 with different threads on the front and back, so that both the surface as the inner part 1A and the surface as the outer part 1B are made of silk thread. In this way, the face band 1 of this embodiment is made of silk thread not only for the inner part 1A that touches the user's skin, but also for the outer part 1B.

[0036] As described above, the cylindrical cloth 100 is folded back, and in the face band 1 of this embodiment, the first annular portion 101, the second annular portion 102, the third annular portion 103, and the fourth annular portion 104 are formed in this order from the inside to the outside of the face band 1. The first annular portion 101 is formed in an annular shape having a constant width in the axial direction and is provided on the innermost side. The second annular portion 102 is formed in an annular shape having a constant width in the axial direction and is provided so as to overlap the first annular portion 101 at the outer periphery of the first annular portion 101. The third annular portion 103 is formed in an annular shape having a constant width in the axial direction and is provided so as to overlap the second annular portion 102 at the outer periphery of the second annular portion 102. The fourth annular portion 104 is formed in an annular shape having a constant width in the axial direction and is provided so as to overlap the third annular portion 103 at the outer periphery of the third annular portion 103. That is, the fourth annular portion 104 is provided on the outermost side. In this way, the face band 1 of the present embodiment can store air between the adjacent annular portions, improving heat retention.

[0037] The face band 1 has a first folded portion 33 at one end that connects the first annular portion 101 and the second annular portion 102 while curving. The face band 1 has a second folded portion 34 at the other end that connects the first annular portion 101 and the fourth annular portion 104 while curving. The face band 1 has a folded portion inside the second folded portion 34 that connects the second annular portion 102 and the third annular portion 103 while curving. The face band 1 has a joint 210 at one end that joins the first end 31 of the third annular portion 103 and the second end 32 of the fourth annular portion 104.

[0038] In addition, the face band 1 has the joint 210 and the first folded portion 33 fastened at one end by a fastener 40 (see FIG. 2). Here, the fastener 40 fastens only one end 11 of the face band 1. Therefore, the area of ​​the face band 1 other than the end on one end side is not restricted in the axial and circumferential directions and can move and deform freely. In this way, in the face band 1 of this embodiment, the first annular portion 101, the second annular portion 102, the third annular portion 103, and the fourth annular portion 104 are not restricted in movement.

[0039] The face band 1 of this embodiment is worn on the user's head so that the surface made of silk threads comes into contact with the skin, allowing for good ventilation and gentle coverage of the skin. Also, when the user touches the face band 1 from the outside, it feels very soft to the touch.

[0040] When the face band 1 configured as above is placed on the head to cover the eyes, ears, temples, and nape of the neck, the user's body temperature is expected to be kept warm without being cooled by the outside air. Furthermore, the moisture-absorbing heat-generating fiber is expected to generate heat from the user's sweat. The face band 1 warms the eyes, temples, and ears, relaxing the muscles and improving blood circulation. In particular, there are acupressure points around the eyes, such as Sanzhu, Taiyang, and Jingming. In addition, the ears and the area around the ears are densely packed with acupressure points for each part of the body, such as Shenmen, which is an acupressure point that adjusts the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system. In addition, there are acupressure points such as Restful Sleep, Fengchi, and Tianzhu at the nape of the neck and hairline.

[0041] The face band 1 of this embodiment warms these acupressure points and promotes blood flow, which relaxes the wearer and is expected to help relieve tired eyes and eye strain. In particular, many capillaries are concentrated in the eyes. The face band 1 of this embodiment can improve blood flow by warming the eyes and not cooling them. Furthermore, by wearing the face band 1 on the head while sleeping, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, promoting good sleep. The face band 1 of this embodiment is made of moisture-absorbing heat-generating fiber and silk, and the fabric is thin, lightweight, and stretchable, so it can be worn comfortably and does not interfere with sleep.

[0042] Furthermore, since the face band 1 of this embodiment is made of a thin fabric, even if it is folded four times, the part where it is worn does not become extremely thick. In addition, the face band 1 of this embodiment has a joining part 210 that joins the first end part 31 and the second end part 32, and the first folded part 33, which are partially connected in the circumferential direction by the fastening part 40, at one end side. This increases the elasticity of the face band 1 as a whole, and the face band 1 does not tighten the user's head too much, so that the user feels comfortable when wearing it.

[0043] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the face band 1 of this embodiment when worn on the user's head.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 7, when the face band 1 is worn on the user's head, the face band 1 is expanded in the radial direction. At this time, the first annular portion 101 and the second annular portion 102 provided on the inner side of the face band 1 are expanded toward the outside. Similarly, the third annular portion 103 and the fourth annular portion 104 provided on the outer side of the face band 1 are expanded toward the outside. On the other hand, the joint portion 210 that joins the first end portion 31 and the second end portion 32 is less likely to stretch compared to other areas. Therefore, when the face band 1 is worn on the user's head U, the frill-shaped joint portion 210 is displaced toward the user's head U so as to collapse toward the head U side. As a result, the frill-shaped joint portion 210 comes to be relatively in close contact with the user's head U.

[0045] Here, in the region A between the first annular portion 101 and the second annular portion 102 and the third annular portion 103 and the fourth annular portion 104, for example, no folded portion is provided, and one end portion 11 side is open. In contrast, in the face band 1, the frill-shaped joint 210 that is displaced toward the user's head U makes it difficult for heat to escape in the region A. In this way, the face band 1 of the present embodiment makes it difficult for heat to escape, and has improved heat retention.

[0046] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the face band 1 of this embodiment in a folded state.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 8, the face band 1 of this embodiment can be folded flat. When the user wakes up from sleep and stores the face band 1 of this embodiment, the face band 1 can be folded. At this time, in order to prevent wrinkles from occurring due to the characteristics of the material, after use, both sides of the face band 1 are gently tapped with hands to remove wrinkles. Then, the face band 1 is neatly folded and stored. When washing the face band 1, use a neutral detergent and gently hand wash in lukewarm water at, for example, 30°C. After hand washing, gently drain the water, adjust the shape, and dry in the shade. This allows the face band 1 to be used repeatedly.

[0048] (Modification) FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of a modified face band.

[0049] 9(A), the face band 3 of the first modification has a first annular portion 301, a second annular portion 302, a third annular portion 303, and a fourth annular portion 304. The basic configuration of the face band 3 of the first modification, such as the material, is similar to that of the face band 1 of the present embodiment described above.

[0050] The first annular portion 301, the second annular portion 302, the third annular portion 303, and the fourth annular portion 304 are each formed of an annular endless band. In the face band 3, the first annular portion 301, the second annular portion 302, the third annular portion 303, and the fourth annular portion 304 are provided in this order from the inside to the outside. In addition, the face band 1 of the first modification does not include the first folded portion 33 and the second folded portion 34 provided in the face band 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment. That is, the first annular portion 301, the second annular portion 302, the third annular portion 303, and the fourth annular portion 304 are not continuous with each other but are independent and separate.

[0051] In the face band 3 of the first modification example, fastening portions 40 are provided at the ends of one end and the other end, which partially connect the first annular portion 301, the second annular portion 302, the third annular portion 303, and the fourth annular portion 304 in the circumferential direction. The fastening portions 40 are each disposed at approximately equal intervals in the circumferential direction. This ensures high elasticity of the face band 3 of the first modified example, so that the user feels comfortable when wearing the face band 3.

[0052] As shown in Fig. 9(B), the face band 5 of the modified example 2 has a first annular portion 501 and a second annular portion 502. The basic configuration of the face band 3 of the modified example 1, such as the material, is similar to that of the face band 1 of the above-described embodiment. However, the face band 5 of the modified example 2 has a double structure.

[0053] The face band 5 of the second modification has a first end 51 and a second end 52 on one end side in the axial direction (cylinder axial direction). The face band 5 also has a folded-back portion 53 on the other end side in the axial direction. The face band 5 of the second modification can be formed, for example, by folding back a cylindrical piece of cloth 100 (see FIG. 4) once.

[0054] In the face band 5 of the second modification, a fastening portion 40 is provided that partially connects in the circumferential direction to the first end portion 51 and the second end portion 52. The fastening portions 40 are each disposed at approximately equal intervals in the circumferential direction. This ensures high elasticity of the face band 5 of the second modified example, so that the user feels comfortable when wearing the face band 5.

[0055] 9(C), the face band 7 of the third modification has a first annular portion 701 and a second annular portion 702. The basic configuration of the face band 7 of the third modification, such as the material, is similar to that of the face band 1 of the present embodiment described above.

[0056] The first annular portion 701 and the second annular portion 702 are each formed of an annular endless band. In the face band 7, the second annular portion 702 is provided on the outer periphery of the first annular portion 701 so as to overlap the first annular portion 701. In addition, the face band 7 of the third modification does not include the first folded portion 33 and the second folded portion 34 provided in the face band 1 of the present embodiment described above. In other words, the first annular portion 701 and the second annular portion 702 are not continuous with each other but are independent and separate.

[0057] In the face band 7 of the third modified example, fastening portions 40 are provided at the ends of one end and the other end, which partially connect the first annular portion 701 and the second annular portion 702 in the circumferential direction. The fastening portions 40 are each disposed at approximately equal intervals in the circumferential direction. This ensures the elasticity of the face band 7 of the third modified example, so that the user feels comfortable when wearing the face band 7.

[0058] Here, the face band 1 is an example of a band. The fastening portion 40 is an example of a fastening portion and a connecting portion. The first annular portion 101 is an example of an inner annular portion. The fourth annular portion 104 is an example of an outer annular portion. The first folded portion 33 is an example of a folded portion, a first opening end, and a curved portion on one end side. The joint portion 210 is an example of a second opening end. The second folded portion 34 is an example of another folded portion, a curved portion, and a curved portion on the other end side. The first end portion 31 is an example of one end portion. The second end portion 32 is an example of the other end portion.
