Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hat that will not fly away even when the wind blows, a component for the hat, and a method for processing the hat. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, various methods have been used to prevent hats from being blown away by strong winds. For example, chin straps or rubber bands are used to prevent hats from flying away if they come off. However, chin straps are considered less fashionable and are rarely used except for hats for infants.

[0003] On the other hand, it has also been considered to use clamping pieces that clamp the wearer's head instead of the chin strap. The hat of Patent Document 1 is shown in Figure 7, and is made up of a main body 2 and a brim 3. A bag portion 5 is provided on the inner surface of the opening 4 of the hat 1, and a clamping piece 7 that elastically deforms according to the size of the head is housed in this bag portion 5. The clamping piece 7 is a C-shaped elastic member as shown in FIG. 8, and has both ends widened to increase the inside diameter so that the hat 1 can be fitted onto the head of a wearer.

[0004] The bag portion 5 is formed by sewing a cloth belt to a ribbon 6 provided along the inner periphery of the opening 4, leaving the back of the head of the main body 2 untouched, and has insertion holes 5a, 5b opened at both ends. The clamping pieces 7 can be inserted and removed through these insertion holes 5a, 5b. The insertion holes 5a, 5b are located at positions corresponding to both ends of the clamping pieces 7, and when inserted, the entire length of the clamping pieces 7 is accommodated within the bag portion 5. Therefore, when putting on the hat 1, the clamping piece 7 is opened together with the bag part 5, and the main body 2 is attached to the head, and the elastic force of the clamping piece 7 lightly presses down on the wearer's head, so that the hat 1 will not fly off even if the wind blows. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3049348 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The above-mentioned conventional fly-off-proof hat 1 is designed to be worn with the clamping pieces 7 spread out, and a light tightening force is applied to the head while it is being worn. Therefore, the inner circumference of the opening 4 is dimensioned to allow for a margin so that the inner diameter increases when the clamping pieces 7 are spread out while inserted into the bag portion 5. In this way, the inner diameter of the covering opening 4 of the main body 2 is made with a margin to accommodate the changing outer diameter of the clamping piece 7, so that wrinkles form on the outer periphery of the covering opening 4 in the parts that do not expand in diameter integrally with the clamping piece 7. In particular, in a hat that is sized to fit the wearer's head with some room to spare, the length of the portion not fastened by the clamping piece 7 is long, so wrinkles around the outer periphery of the opening 4 become noticeable, detracting from the fashionability of the hat.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a hat that will not fly off even in strong winds while maintaining its design and fashionability, as well as components for the hat and a method for processing the hat. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The hat of the first invention comprises a hat body, a belt-shaped retaining member with multiple insertion holes formed in the lengthwise direction and provided on the inner surface of the opening of the hat body, and a clamping piece that is rod-shaped or plate-shaped and can be inserted into the insertion holes and elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat so as to be attached to the head of the wearer, the multiple insertion holes being formed in the retaining member so as to be located in a front region of the inner surface of the opening of the hat body that is less than half of the inner dimension of the inner surface, and when the clamping piece is inserted into the insertion hole of the retaining member, a portion of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member and the other portion of the clamping piece is exposed inside the hat body.

[0009] In the hat of the second invention, the clamping piece is U-shaped or C-shaped with a length that is at least half and less than nine-tenths of the inner circumference of the opening, and the middle portion of the clamping piece in the longitudinal direction is held by the holding member.

[0010] The third invention of the hat part comprises a belt-shaped retaining member with a plurality of insertion holes formed in the lengthwise direction and attached to the inner surface of the opening of the hat body of the hat, and a rod- or plate-shaped clamping piece that can be inserted into the insertion holes and elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat to be attached to the head of the wearer, the plurality of insertion holes being formed in the retaining member so as to be located in a front region of the inner surface of the opening of the hat body that is less than half of the inner dimension of the inner surface of the opening, and when the clamping piece is inserted into the insertion hole of the retaining member, a portion of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member, and the other portion of the clamping piece is exposed inside the hat body.

[0011] In a fourth aspect of the present invention, the clamping piece is U-shaped or C-shaped and has a length that is at least half and less than nine-tenths of the inner circumferential dimension of the opening.

[0012] The fifth invention relates to a method for processing a hat, in which the retaining member is belt-shaped and has a plurality of insertion holes spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, and the insertion holes are positioned in a forward region of the inner circumferential surface of the hat's opening that is less than half of the inner circumferential dimension of the opening, and the retaining member is attached to the inner circumferential surface of the hat's opening, and a rod-shaped or plate-shaped clamping piece that elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat and is attached to the head of the wearer is inserted into the insertion hole of the retaining member, so that a portion of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member, and the other portion of the clamping piece is exposed inside the hat body.

[0013] The sixth invention relates to a method for processing a hat, which comprises a band body having a predetermined length and a sticker bearing a plurality of hole position marks arranged at predetermined intervals along the length, and includes overlaying the sticker on the band body and forming the insertion holes along the hole position marks. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the clamping members held by the hat body via the holding members clamp the head, preventing the hat body from being blown away by wind. In particular, the front area of ​​the hat opening is held down by the clamping pieces, making the hat resistant to wind blowing from the front and preventing the hat body from floating up when running. Furthermore, because only a portion of the clamping piece is inserted into the retaining member along the opening, even if the clamping piece and the inner circumference of the opening do not match, the appearance of the hat itself will not be affected by wrinkles on the outer circumference of the opening, etc. Therefore, even if the inner circumference of the opening is different, the hat can be worn without compromising its design or fashionability.

[0015] According to the second aspect of the invention, more than half of the circumference of the wearer's head is surrounded by the clamping pieces, and the length of the opening where both ends of the clamping pieces face each other is smaller than the diameter of the head, so even if a force acts on the clamping pieces, such as from wind, the opening will not open and the clamping pieces will not come off the head. Also, because both ends of the clamping pieces are open, the inner circumference of the opening at the back of the head is not pressed against the head, reducing the uncomfortable feeling of tightness when wearing the mask.

[0016] According to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, by using the holding member and the clamping piece, it is possible to create a hat that maintains fashionability and does not fly away in the wind, or to modify an existing hat.

[0017] According to the fifth and sixth inventions, an existing hat can be modified into a hat that maintains fashionability and does not fly away in the wind. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0019] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the appearance of the hat of the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the first embodiment, Fig. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the holding member of the first embodiment, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the clamping piece. The hat 10 of the first embodiment has a brim 12 around the periphery of the hat body 11. As shown in the bottom view of Figure 2, a band-shaped holding member 14 is provided along the inner surface of the opening 13 of the hat body 11, and this holding member 14 holds the clamping piece 15. 1 and 2, F indicates the front of the hat 10 (the front side of the wearer), and R indicates the rear (the back side of the wearer). The region on the F side of the center line L1 that divides the covering opening 13 into two is called the front region, and the region on the R side is called the rear region.

[0020] The holding member 14 is constructed by attaching both widthwise ends of a cloth band as shown in Fig. 3 along the inner periphery of the covering opening 13. The holding member 14 has a plurality of insertion holes (two in this case, 14a and 14b) formed along its length to allow the insertion of clamping pieces 15, which will be described later. These insertion holes 14a, 14b are located in the front region of the cap body 11. Specifically, the centers of the insertion holes 14a and 14b (center line L2 shown in FIG. 3) are aligned with the front surface (F) of the cap body 11. The holding member 14 may have a length equal to the entire circumference of the covering opening 13, or may have a length corresponding to only a portion of the front region. The length of the holding member 14 is not limited as long as the insertion holes 14a and 14b are located on the inner circumferential surface of the covering opening 13 in a front region that is half or less of the inner circumferential dimension.

[0021] The hat 10 of the first embodiment is equipped with clamping pieces 15 that elastically deform in accordance with the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat 10. Like the conventional clamping pieces 7, the clamping pieces 15 are rod-shaped or plate-shaped, for example, spring-shaped resin members that are roughly C-shaped. When the ends 15a and 15b corresponding to the opening of the C-shape are opened in the direction of the arrows, they elastically deform as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4. The total length of the clamping piece 15 along the C-shape is at least half and less than nine-tenths of the inner circumferential dimension of the covering opening 13. Note that the shape of the clamping piece 15 is not limited to the letter C as long as it can be elastically deformed along the outer periphery of the wearer's head. For example, the clamping piece 15 may be U-shaped or may have other shapes.

[0022] In the hat 10 of this embodiment, a part of the clamping piece 15 is held by the holding member 14 . Specifically, one end 15a of the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the holding member 14 through one insertion hole 14a formed in the holding member 14 and pulled out through the other insertion hole 14b, so that only the central portion 15c, which is the middle part of the clamping piece 15, is held by the holding member 14, as shown in Fig. 2. Therefore, the parts of the clamping piece 15 other than the central portion 15c are exposed from the holding member 14 to the inside of the opening 13, i.e., the inside of the hat body 11.

[0023] [Actions and effects] When putting on the hat 10 of the first embodiment, the clamping pieces 15 are opened and placed on the head from the front, while the hat body 11 is pressed down from above. Hat 10 can prevent hat body 11 from flying away in the wind by clamping pieces that clamp the wearer's head inside hat body 11. In particular, the front area of ​​hat opening 13 of hat body 11 is held down by clamping pieces 15, providing strong resistance to wind blowing from the front, and preventing hat body 11 from floating up when running.

[0024] In this hat 10, only a portion (center portion 15c) of the clipping piece 15 is inserted into the holding member 14 along the opening 13, so even if the inner circumference dimensions of the clipping piece 15 and the opening 13 do not match, the appearance of the hat body 11 is not affected, such as by wrinkles on the outer circumference of the opening 13. Therefore, even if the inner circumference dimensions of the opening 13 differ, the hat can be worn without compromising its design or fashionability. Furthermore, even if the inner circumference dimensions of the clipping piece 15 and the opening 13 do not match, the hat body 11 does not lift up, and the design and fashionability are not compromised, so the wearer can confidently choose a hat with a wide opening 13 inner circumference that will not disrupt their hairstyle.

[0025] Furthermore, the length of the clamping pieces 15 is more than half the inner circumferential dimension of the opening 13, and the length of the openings at both ends 15a, 15b is smaller than the diameter of the head. In other words, because both ends 15a, 15b are positioned at the back of the head, even if force is applied to the clamping pieces 15 by wind or the like, the openings will not open and the clamping pieces 15 will not come off the head. Furthermore, because more than half of the head's circumference is surrounded, the tightening force due to the elasticity of the clamping pieces 15 will not be concentrated in one area, and wearing the clamping pieces 15 will cause little discomfort.

[0026] Furthermore, because the length of clamping piece 15 is less than nine-tenths the inner circumferential dimension of opening 13, a gap is maintained between end 15a and end 15b of clamping piece 15 at the back of the head when clamping piece 15 is fitted to the head along opening 13. Because there is a gap between both ends of the clamping piece, the inner circumferential dimension of opening 13 is not pressed against the head at the back of the head, reducing the uncomfortable feeling of tightness when wearing the mask. In particular, if the clamping piece 15 is pressed by the hat body 11 with both ends 15a, 15b of the clamping piece 15 overlapping, the pressure may be concentrated and cause pain in the back of the head, but in this embodiment, the distance between both ends 15a, 15b of the clamping piece 15 is maintained, so this does not happen.

[0027] [Second embodiment] FIG. 5 is a front view of a holding member 16 provided on a hat according to the second embodiment. In the hat of the second embodiment, the retaining member 16 is different from the retaining member 14, but the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, hereinafter, reference will be made to Figures 1 and 2 showing the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the retaining member 14 in Figures 1 and 2 is replaced with the retaining member 16.

[0028] Four insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d are formed in the holding member 16. The distance d1 between the insertion holes 16a and 16b on the left side in the drawing is equal to the distance d2 between the insertion holes 16c and 16d on the right side, and the distances d1 and d2 are smaller than the distance d3 between the central insertion holes 16b and 16c.

[0029] In the second embodiment, the holding member 16 is also provided along the inner periphery of the opening 13 of the cap body 11, and the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d are positioned in a front region that is half or less of the inner periphery of the opening 13. For example, the centers of the insertion holes 16b and 16c are positioned at the front of the cap body 11. The clamping pieces 15 are inserted into any two of the four insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d, and a part (middle) of the clamping pieces 15 is held by the holding member 16.

[0030] [Actions and effects] In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, by attaching the clamping pieces 15 to the head, the hat 10 can be prevented from flying away in the wind. Moreover, since only a portion of the clamping pieces 15 is held in place, the hat body 11 does not wrinkle, and fashionability can be maintained, just like in the first embodiment.

[0031] Furthermore, because there are a large number of insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d, the holding length of the clamping pieces 15 can be adjusted by inserting the clamping pieces 15 through the insertion holes. For example, when the clamping pieces 15 are inserted through the end insertion holes 16a and 16d, the holding length for the clamping pieces 15 is longest, and when the clamping pieces 15 are inserted through the insertion holes 16a and 16b, the holding length is shortest. When the clamping pieces 15 are inserted through the central insertion holes 16b and 16c, the holding length is slightly longer than the shortest distance, and when the clamping pieces 15 are inserted through the insertion holes 16a and 16c, the holding length is slightly longer than the shortest distance. In this way, the holding length of the clamping pieces 15 can be adjusted by the combination of insertion holes through which the clamping pieces 15 are inserted.

[0032] In this way, by adjusting the holding length of the clamping pieces 15, it is possible to adjust the pressing force on the cap body 11. For example, by inserting the clamping pieces 15 into the insertion holes 16a and 16d at both ends to increase the holding length, a longer range of the opening 13 is pressed, and the cap body 11 can be more securely held. In this case, the clamping pieces 15 may be inserted only through the insertion holes 16a and 16d at both ends, or may be inserted through all of the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d so as to thread the holding member 16.

[0033] Furthermore, if there is a large difference in size or shape between the clamping pieces 15 and the opening 13, shortening the holding length of the clamping pieces 15 can prevent wrinkles from forming on the outer periphery of the hat body 11. Therefore, it is preferable to select the holding length of the clamping pieces 15 based on the balance between the size and shape of the opening 13 and the clamping pieces 15. In this embodiment, the centers of the insertion holes 16b and 16c are positioned at the front and the arrangement is symmetrical, so that by selectively using the pair of insertion holes 16b and 16c which has a shorter holding length or the pair of insertion holes 16a and 16d which has a longer holding length, the hat body 11 can be held in a balanced manner. Furthermore, the spacing between the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d of the holding member 16 is not particularly limited and can be set according to the dimensions of the opening 13. For example, in the case of an adult medium-sized hat, it is preferable that the spacings d1 and d2 shown in Fig. 5 are approximately 3 cm, and the spacing d3 is approximately 4 cm.

[0034] In the first and second embodiments, the cap body 11 is provided with the holding members 14, 16 and the clamping piece 15, but the holding members 14, 16 and the clamping piece 15 may be prepared as cap parts. By using the above-mentioned hat parts, hats of various designs can be made into hats that do not fly away in the wind. Furthermore, hat wearers can also modify existing hats using the above-mentioned processing method.

[0035] [Third embodiment] FIG. 6 is a plan view of a hat component for constituting a holding member of the third embodiment. The hat component is configured as a set of a cloth band body 19 that is attached to the hat body to form a holding member, a seal 17, and a clamping piece 15 (see FIG. 3). As shown in Figure 6(A), sticker 17 is a paper strip affixed to release paper 18 with an adhesive layer on the backside, and has a plurality of hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d spaced at predetermined intervals. These hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d correspond to insertion holes through which clamping piece 15 can be inserted. The hole position marks are set based on an appropriate clamping piece holding length for a cap body of standard dimensions. For example, the spacing between hole position marks 17a and 17d can be set for an L size, and the spacing between hole position marks 17b and 17c can be set for an S size.

[0036] When creating a holding member for a hat, the sticker 17 is peeled off from the release paper 18 and attached to the band body 19 as shown in Figure 6(B). After that, insertion holes are formed in the band body 19 together with the sticker 17 along the hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d using a cutter or the like. At this time, insertion holes corresponding to all of the hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d may be opened, or only the necessary holes may be opened according to the size of the wearer's head, etc. Once the insertion holes are formed in the band body 19, the band body 19 can be placed along the inner periphery of the opening 13 of the hat body 11 to serve as a holding member. With the seal 17, a suitable insertion hole can be easily formed in the band body 19. In addition, the sweat-stopping ribbon already provided on the inner peripheral surface of the hat body may be used instead of the band body for the retaining member, and in that case, by using the above-mentioned seal 17, anyone can open an insertion hole in the appropriate position.

[0037] The clamping piece 15 as a hat component can be made detachable from the holding member so that it can be used for multiple hats without having to be prepared for each hat. However, the clamping piece 15 may also be fixed to the hat body 11 via the holding member. [Industrial Applicability]

[0038] It can prevent various hats from being blown away by the wind without compromising their fashionability. [Explanation of symbols]
