Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hat worn on the head.

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a hat made of cloth.

[0003] Such a hat can prevent direct sunlight from hitting the head, thereby suppressing the temperature rise around the head. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-308769 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, conventional hats such as those described in Patent Document 1 have the problem that when the head is covered with cloth, heat is trapped inside, resulting in a hot and humid environment.

[0006] This problem can be solved by making part of the fabric mesh (network), for example. However, with such hats, depending on the size of the mesh, direct sunlight can hit the head through the mesh, which can improve breathability, but it can also cause the problem of not being able to prevent the temperature around the head from rising.

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a hat that can prevent direct sunlight from reaching the head while ensuring breathability. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The hat of the present invention is a hat comprising a crown portion that covers at least a portion of the top of the head, and side peripheral portions that are connected to the crown portion and are arranged to cover the sides of the head, and the side peripheral portions have at least one annular visor member and a plurality of connecting members that are connected to the crown portion and connect them so that a gap is formed between the crown portion and the annular visor member and / or between the plurality of annular visor members. It should be noted that the term "annular" in the term "annular eave member" as used herein includes a shape that is completely connected like a ring, as well as a shape with a portion removed, such as a shape of an approximately semicircular ring ("central angle: approximately 180°") or a shape that exceeds this.

[0009] Preferably, the annular overhang member is arranged so as to slope downward from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting member has a holding portion that holds the inner peripheral edge of the annular eave member in a state where the holding portion projects from the inner peripheral edge.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting member is a linear member.

[0012] In this case, the annular eave member has a protrusion protruding from the inner peripheral edge. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the present invention, even with a relatively simple structure, it is possible to reliably improve breathability while blocking direct sunlight from hitting the head. Furthermore, the present invention can be deformed (compressed) into a flat shape when not in use, allowing for compact portability and storage, making it possible to provide a highly convenient hat.

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to avoid repetitive explanation.

In the following description, the up-down direction refers to the up-down direction when the crown side of the hat is the upper side and the brim side is the lower side.

[0017] <Overall composition of hat 1> As shown in Fig. 1, the hat 1 according to this embodiment is a garment worn on the head, and is configured to include a crown portion 10, peripheral side portions 20, and a brim portion 30. Note that the hat 1 is not limited to being used for humans, and can also be used, for example, for pets.

[0018] (top part 10) As shown in Figures 1 to 4, crown 10 is the portion that covers the top of the head when hat 1 is worn. Crown 10 has a generally circular plate shape, with the inner surface formed to be concave. Crown 10 can be formed using various materials, such as cloth, resin, or paper, and the material can be either mesh or non-mesh. When using a mesh material, it is preferable to use one with as small a mesh size as possible, in order to reduce direct sunlight hitting the head.

[0019] The crown 10 is not limited to having a concave inner surface (see FIG. 4, etc.), but can also be formed in other shapes, such as a flat or convex surface. Furthermore, the crown 10 may have any shape that can cover at least a portion of the top of the head, and is not limited to being formed in a substantially circular plate shape (see FIG. 1, etc.), but can also be formed in other shapes, such as a ring shape like the ring-shaped visor member 21 (see FIG. 2, etc.) described below.

[0020] (Side circumference 20) The side periphery 20 is the part that covers the sides of the head when the hat 1 is worn, and is provided with a plurality (in this embodiment, "10") of annular visor members 21 and a plurality (in this embodiment, "6") of connecting members 22.

[0021] The side periphery 20 can be formed using various materials such as cloth, resin, and paper, similar to the top portion 10, and the material can be mesh or non-mesh. When using a mesh material, it is preferable to use one with as small a mesh size as possible, in order to reduce direct sunlight hitting the head.

[0022] (Annular eaves member 21) The annular eave member 21 has a generally plate shape and is formed so as to slope downward from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge (see FIG. 2, etc.).

[0023] Although details will be described later, the multiple annular eaves members 21 are configured to be arranged with a gap S between them in the vertical direction via connecting members 22 (see FIG. 4). In this embodiment, the uppermost annular eaves member 21 is arranged with a gap S formed between it and the top portion 10, and the lowermost annular eaves member 21 is arranged with a gap S formed between it and the flange portion 30 (see FIG. 4).

[0024] The outer peripheral shape of the annular eave member 21 is not particularly limited, and can be formed into various shapes, for example, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a circular wave shape.

[0025] In addition, in this embodiment, the annular eave member 21 is formed so as to slope downward from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge in order to improve light-blocking properties, but it may also be formed so as to slope linearly (horizontally), or so as to slope upward from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge.

[0026] Furthermore, the radial width of the annular visor member 21 is preferably formed to be wide from the viewpoint of improving light blocking properties, but it can also be formed to be narrow depending on the design of the hat 1, etc.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of annular eave members 21 is "10", but it may be "11" or more, or "9" or less (for example, "1").

[0028] (Connecting member 22) The connecting member 22 is a member for connecting the top portion 10, the plurality of annular eave members 21, and the flange portion 30, and includes a main body portion 22A and a groove portion 22B.

[0029] The main body portion 22A has a band shape and is formed in an arc shape. The upper ends of the multiple main body portions 22A are connected to each other to form a substantially arch truss dome shape (see FIG. 3). The lower end of the main body portion 22 is connected to the flange portion 30, which will be described in detail later.

[0030] The groove portions 22B are grooves for holding the annular eaves member 21, and are formed in multiple numbers (10 in this embodiment) on the outer periphery of the main body portion 22A at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction (see Figure 3, etc.).

[0031] The annular eave member 21 and the connecting member 22 can be connected by inserting the inner peripheral surface side of the annular eave member 21 into the groove portion 22B.

[0032] After connecting the annular eave member 21 and the connecting member 22, they can be further fixed (for example, by sewing or adhesive), which allows them to be firmly connected.

[0033] Furthermore, the multiple grooves 22B formed in the main body 22A may be formed at equal intervals or at unequal intervals, which makes it possible to appropriately set the size of the gap S (see FIG. 4) between the annular eave members 21 by connecting the grooves 22B to the annular eave members 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting member 22 is provided with the cut grooves 22B, but this can be omitted if necessary. In this case, the annular eaves member 21 and the connecting member 22 can be connected by, for example, sewing or adhesively fixing them together with the inner peripheral surface of the annular eaves member 21 abutting against a desired position on the connecting member 22.

[0035] (Flange 30) The flange 30 is a member for preventing direct sunlight from hitting the face, neck, etc., and includes a main body 31 and an upright portion 32.

[0036] The flange 30, like the crown 10 and the peripheral side 20, can be made of various materials such as cloth, resin, and paper, and the material can be mesh or non-mesh. When using a mesh material, it is preferable to use one with as small a mesh size as possible, in order to reduce direct sunlight hitting the head.

[0037] The main body 31 has a generally annular plate shape and is formed so as to slope downward from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge.

[0038] The standing portion 32 has a hollow cylindrical shape and protrudes upward from the inner peripheral edge of the main body 31 (see FIG. 4). In this embodiment, the lower end side surface of the connecting member 22 is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the standing portion 32. The standing portion 32 increases the connection strength between the connecting member 22 and the brim 30, and also functions as a member that maintains the opening shape of the hat 1 in a substantially circular shape.

[0039] The upright portion 32 does not necessarily have to protrude from the inner peripheral edge of the main body portion 31, but may protrude from an appropriate position on the upper surface of the main body portion 31. With this configuration, it is possible to connect the lower end surface of the connecting member 22 in addition to the side surface of the lower end, thereby making it possible to firmly connect the connecting member 22 and the brim portion 30. Furthermore, the upright portion 32 can be provided with a known adjustment member (for example, an adjuster) that can adjust the size of the hat 1.

[0040] <How to assemble hat 1> Next, a method for assembling the hat 1 configured as above will be described. As described above, the top portion 10, the side periphery 20, and the flange 30 can be formed using various materials such as cloth, resin, and paper, and when connecting them, a known connection method can be selected appropriately depending on the material. For example, when the top portion 10, the side periphery 20, and the flange 30 are made of cloth, they may be connected by sewing or by using an adhesive. In the following, each component (top portion 10, side periphery 20, and flange 30) is connected by a known method, and therefore, for the sake of convenience, a description of the specific connection method will be omitted.

[0041] The hat 1 according to this embodiment can be assembled, for example, as follows: (1) Connecting multiple main body portions 22A to form an arch truss dome shape (see FIG. 3). (2) The lower ends of the multiple side peripheral portions 20 are connected to at least one of the main body portion 31 and the upright portion 32 of the flange portion 30 (see FIGS. 3 and 4 ). (3) Insert and connect the plurality of annular eave members 21 into the respective grooves 22B formed on the plurality of side peripheral portions 20 in order from the bottom (see FIG. 4 ). (4) Connect the top portion 10 to the upper portions of the multiple side peripheral portions 20 (see FIG. 4). This makes it possible to manufacture the hat 1 with multiple gaps S formed in the vertical direction (see Figure 4).

[0042] According to the hat 1 of this embodiment, air can flow in and out through the gap S, making it possible to prevent heat from building up around the head.

[0043] Moreover, in this embodiment, when the hat 1 is worn, only the inner circumferential surface of the connecting member 22 (main body 22A) comes into contact with the top and sides of the head (so that the hat 1 can be worn without pressing down the hair), which naturally creates a space between the head and the connecting member 22. In other words, in this embodiment, air can circulate vertically through the space formed between the hat 1 and the top and sides of the head, which allows sweat and the like on the scalp to evaporate well and reliably improves the feeling of coolness.

[0044] In addition, it is preferable that the outer periphery of the upper annular eave member 21, 21, which is arranged adjacent to one another vertically, is formed larger than the inner periphery of the lower annular eave member 21 (see FIG. 4, etc.), and more preferably, the difference between the outer periphery and the inner periphery is formed as large as possible. With this configuration, it is possible to further improve the light blocking properties.

[0045] 3 and 4, the connecting member 22 can be variously modified. For example, as in the connecting member 22 shown in Fig. 5, a main body 22A' can be provided with a plurality of protrusions 22A1 protruding from its inner periphery. With this configuration, when the hat 1 is worn, only the protrusions 22A1 can come into contact with the head, thereby reducing pressure on the hair and improving breathability.

[0046] <Modification> 4 and other examples, the annular eaves members 21 are connected to all of the notched grooves 22B formed in the connecting member 22, but it is also possible to connect them to only some of the notched grooves 22B (for example, connecting them to every other notched groove 22B), which makes it possible to appropriately adjust the size of the gap S between the annular eaves members 21.

[0047] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the cut grooves 22B are formed in the connecting member 22, but this may be omitted. In this case, the annular eaves member 21 and the connecting member 22 can be connected by, for example, fixing the inner peripheral surface of the former to the outer peripheral surface of the latter in abutting relation. Such fixing is not limited to sewing or adhesive fixing, and can be performed using various members such as buttons, hooks (snap buttons), hook-and-loop fasteners, etc.

[0048] Furthermore, as described above, connecting member 22 can be formed using various materials such as cloth, resin, and paper, but it is preferable to form it using a flexible material (for example, a stretchable and deformable material such as woven rubber). With this configuration, hat 1 can be deformed in the direction of crushing (up and down), so hat 1 can be carried, stored, etc. in a compact state, making it very convenient.

[0049] It is also possible to configure the brim 30' so that it can be attached (replaced) later, as in the case of the hat 1' shown in Fig. 6. In this case, it is preferable to make the annular eaves member 21 as wide as possible in order to facilitate the connection between the lowest annular eaves member 21 (see "brim connecting member 23" of "side periphery 20'" shown in Fig. 6) and the brim 30'.

[0050] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, a belt-shaped member is used as the connecting member 22 (main body portion 22A), but other members can also be used. Such a hat 101 will be described below with reference to Figs. 7 to 9.

[0051] As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the hat 101 according to this modification includes a crown portion 110, a peripheral side portion 120, and a brim portion 130, similar to the above-described hat 1 (see FIGS. 1 to 4).

[0052] The top portion 110 has an approximately circular plate shape and, like the top portion 10 described above (see Figure 1, etc.), can be formed using various materials such as cloth, resin, paper, etc., and the material can be either mesh or non-mesh.

[0053] The top portion 110 has a plurality of (eight in this embodiment) connecting member attachment portions 110A for connecting the connecting members 122. As will be described in detail later, the connecting members 122 are formed from linear members.

[0054] The connecting member attachment portions 110A are provided on the back surface side of the top portion 110, and are arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction near the outer periphery (see FIG. 8).

[0055] The connecting member attachment portion 110A can be constructed using a member capable of connecting the connecting member 122, such as a U-shaped or J-shaped metal fitting, or a string (sewn in a loop on the back surface of the top portion 110).

[0056] Furthermore, connecting member attachment portion 110A is not limited to such a member, and can also be a hole through which connecting member 122 can be inserted. In this case, top portion 110 and connecting member 122 can be connected by inserting connecting member 122 into the hole and then fixing its tip to the surface of top portion 110 (for example, by adhesive or sewing).

[0057] Note that connecting member attachment portion 110A is not an essential component and may be omitted. In this case, the connection between top portion 110 and connecting member 122 may be achieved, for example, by directly fixing the tip of connecting member 122 to the back surface of top portion 110 (for example, by adhesive or sewing).

[0058] The side periphery 120 includes an annular eave member 121 and a connecting member 122 .

[0059] The annular eave member 121 according to this embodiment has a plurality of (eight in this embodiment) holes 121A and a plurality of (eight in this embodiment) protrusions 121B (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

[0060] Like the above-described annular eaves member 21 (see FIGS. 1 to 4), the annular eaves member 121 can be formed using various materials such as cloth, resin, and paper, and the materials can be mesh or non-mesh. Similar to the above-described annular eaves member 21 (see FIG. 2, etc.), the annular eaves member 121 is preferably formed so as to slope downward from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge in order to improve light blocking properties, but this can be modified as appropriate. The radial width and outer peripheral shape of the annular eaves member 121 can also be modified as appropriate.

[0061] The holes 121A are holes through which the connecting members 122, which will be described later, can be inserted, and are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction near the outer periphery of the annular eave member 121 (see FIG. 8).

[0062] The connection between the annular eaves member 121 and the connecting member 122 is not particularly limited, but can be made, for example, by inserting the connecting member 122 into the hole portion 121A and then fixing the insertion point to the annular eaves member 121 (for example, by adhesive fixing or sewing fixing).

[0063] The protrusions 121B are formed to protrude from the inner peripheral edge of the annular eave member 121, and are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

[0064] The protrusions 121B according to this embodiment function as spacers to form gaps between the inner peripheral edge of the annular brim member 121 and the sides of the head when the hat 1 is worn. In this regard, it is preferable to provide three or more protrusions 121B at predetermined intervals, and it is also preferable to set the amount of protrusion to a size that can fulfill this function (for example, a size that makes it difficult for the protrusions 121B to bend when the hat 101 is worn). The same can be said for the protrusions 130B of the brim 130, which will be described later.

[0065] The connecting members 122 according to this embodiment are formed of linear members (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Such linear members can be made of, for example, string material made of cotton, silk, or synthetic fiber (polyester, nylon, etc.), or metal material such as a ball chain. In this embodiment, the number of connecting members 122 is eight, but this can be changed as appropriate to two or more.

[0066] The flange portion 130 in this embodiment has a generally annular plate shape and includes a plurality (eight in this embodiment) of connecting member mounting portions 130A and a plurality (eight in this embodiment) of protrusions 130B (see Figures 7 and 8).

[0067] Like the above-mentioned flange portion 30 (see Figure 1, etc.), the flange portion 130 can be formed using various materials such as cloth, resin, and paper, and the material can be either mesh or non-mesh.

[0068] The connecting member attachment portions 130A are members for attaching the connecting members 122. The connecting member attachment portions 130A are provided on the surface side of the flange portion 130 and are arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction near the inner circumference (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

[0069] Similar to the above-described connecting member mounting portion 110A, such connecting member mounting portion 130A may be a hole through which connecting member 122 can be inserted, or may be a member to which it can be connected (for example, a U-shaped or J-shaped metal fitting or a string (sewn into a loop on the surface of flange 130)). Note that connecting member mounting portion 130A is not an essential component and may therefore be omitted. In this case, connecting member 122 and flange 130 can be connected by, for example, directly fixing the tip of connecting member 122 to the surface of flange 130 (for example, by adhesive or sewing).

[0070] Like the protrusion 121B described above, the protrusions 130B are formed to protrude from the inner peripheral edge of the flange 130 and are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction (see FIGS. 7 and 8). Note that the number and protrusion amount of the protrusions 130B can be changed as appropriate.

[0071] The hat 101 configured in this manner can be produced, for example, by the following procedure. (1) A plurality of connecting members 122 are attached to the connecting member attachment portion 130A of the flange portion 130. (2) After inserting the connecting member 122 into the multiple holes 121A formed in the lowest annular eaves member 121, the connecting member 122 is attached to the annular eaves member 121 with a predetermined gap between the annular eaves member 121 and the flange portion 130. (3) Using the same procedure as in (2) above, the other annular eave members 121 are attached to the connecting member 122 with a predetermined gap therebetween. (4) With a predetermined gap between the top portion 110 and the uppermost annular eave member 121, the connecting member 122 is attached to the connecting member attachment portion 110A of the top portion 110.

[0072] With the hat 101 thus manufactured, similarly to the hat 1 described above (see Figure 1, etc.), air can flow in and out through the gap S formed between the top 110 and the uppermost annular eaves member, the gap S formed between each annular eaves member 121, and the gap S formed between the lowermost annular eaves member 121 and the brim 130, making it possible to prevent heat from building up around the head (see "unfolded state" in Figure 9(a)).

[0073] Furthermore, in this modified example, when the hat 101 is worn, only the protrusions 121B of the annular visor member 121 and the protrusions 130B of the brim portion 130 come into contact with the sides of the head, so that a space can be naturally formed between the annular visor member 121 and the hat 101. That is, in this modified example, similar to the hat 1 described above (see FIG. 1), air can be circulated in both vertical and horizontal directions through the space formed between the hat 101 and the side of the head, thereby allowing sweat and the like on the scalp to evaporate well and reliably improving the feeling of coolness.

[0074] Furthermore, since the connecting member 122 according to this modification is formed of a linear member, it can be deformed into a flat shape when the hat 101 is not in use (see "folded state" in FIG. 9(b)). Therefore, according to this embodiment, the hat 101 can be carried and stored in a compact state, which is very convenient.

[0075] <Configuration and Effects of the Embodiment> As described above, the hat 1 (1', 101) of this embodiment is a hat comprising a crown portion 10 (110) that covers the top of the head, and side peripheral portions 20 (20', 120) that are connected to the crown portion 10 (110) and are arranged to cover the sides of the head, and the side peripheral portions 20 (20', 120) have at least one annular eaves member 21 (121) and a plurality of connecting members 22 (122) that are connected to the crown portion 10 (110) and connect them so that a gap S is formed between the crown portion 10 (110) and the annular eaves member 21 (121) and at least one between the plurality of annular eaves members 21 (121). This configuration ensures breathability while minimizing direct sunlight on the head.

[0076] The annular eaves member 21 (121) is disposed so as to be inclined downward from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge (see FIG. 1, etc.). With such a configuration, the light blocking property can be further improved.

[0077] Furthermore, the connecting member 22 has a groove 22B that projects from the inner peripheral edge of the annular eave member 21 and holds the inner peripheral edge (see FIG. 4, etc.). With this configuration, the annular eave member 21 can be firmly connected to the connecting member 22. Moreover, in the above configuration, the connecting member 22 is arranged to protrude from the inner peripheral edge of the annular brim member 21, so that when the hat 1 (1') is worn, a space can be formed between the sides of the head and the inner peripheral edge of the annular brim member 21. In other words, with this configuration, air can also circulate vertically along the sides of the head, further improving breathability. As described above, with the above configuration, the annular eave member 21 can be firmly held while further improving breathability.

[0078] The connecting member 122 is a linear member (see FIG. 7, etc.). With this configuration, the hat 101 can be deformed into a flat shape when not in use, allowing it to be carried, stored, etc. in a compact state.

[0079] Furthermore, the annular eave member 121 has a protrusion 121B that protrudes radially inward from the inner circumferential edge (see FIG. 7, etc.). With this configuration, when the hat 101 is worn, a space can be formed between the sides of the head and the annular brim member 121. In other words, with this configuration, air can be circulated in the vertical direction along the sides of the head, further improving breathability. Furthermore, in the above configuration, the protrusion 121B can be formed integrally with the annular eave member 121, making it possible to reduce the number of parts. Therefore, with the above configuration, it is possible to further improve the breathability while reducing the number of parts.

[0080] The above-described embodiments do not limit the present invention, and modifications that do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.

[0081] Furthermore, the structure and the like of the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0082] For example, in Figures 1 and 7, a so-called hat-type cap 1 (1', 101) is shown as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this and can also be applied to other types of hats, such as cap-type hats (see the "main body 231" of the "brim portion 230" shown in Figure 10) and hunting-type hats (hats for various uses such as hiking, farm work, and sports).

[0083] Furthermore, the annular visor member 21 (121) is not limited to being formed in a completely connected shape like a ring, as shown in FIG. 2 (FIG. 8), but can also be formed in a shape with a portion removed. In this case, for example, as in the hat 201 shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to provide a blocking portion 21A at an appropriate position on the side periphery 20. Such a blocking portion 21A can be realized by using a flat material, for example, a cloth material. This configuration makes it possible to provide a hat with excellent design. Note that the blocking portion 21A shown in FIG. 10 can also be replaced with an opening.

[0084] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, in order to improve breathability around the head, gaps S are formed between the top portion 10 (110) and the uppermost annular eaves member 21 (121), between each annular eaves member 21 (121), and between the lowermost annular eaves member 21 (121) and the flange portion 30 (130) (see Figures 4 and 9). However, provided that gaps S are formed between any of these, it is also possible to configure the mask so that no gaps S are formed, for example, between the top portion 10 (110) and the uppermost annular eaves member 21 (121) or between the lowermost annular eaves member 21 (121) and the flange portion 30 (130).

[0085] It is also possible to combine two or more components into one, or conversely, it is also possible to configure one component from two or more separate components and connect them together.

[0086] The above embodiment is merely one of the best modes currently available, and can be modified as appropriate as long as it has the desired effect. [Explanation of symbols]
