[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-25698 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] It is difficult to change the original hairstyle of a wig, which is a type of hairpiece. For example, if you want to add volume only to the top of your head, the hair is tied to a net at the top. This type of hair transplant requires skilled work and a long period of time. During the hair transplant process, the wig must be temporarily left in the care of a craftsman. It is difficult for wig owners to casually change their hairstyle by simply dropping into a store.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a wig and a material sheet for a wig that allows a user to easily change the hairstyle of their original hairstyle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A wig according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a base net that holds a first group of hair with a mesh material that forms a mesh and positions the first group of hair in accordance with the shape of the skull, and a mesh sheet that is layered on the outside of the base net and sewn to the base net, and holds a second group of hair with a mesh material that forms a mesh.

[0008] Another aspect of the present invention provides a wig material sheet comprising a mesh sheet having a mesh material that divides multiple rows of mesh, and multiple hair aggregates formed of hair that are tied to the mesh material for each selected row of the multiple rows, and the mesh sheet has blank bands that are each formed by one or more rows of the mesh and separate the hair aggregates. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] As described above, according to the disclosed embodiment, it is possible to add a change to the original hairstyle with a simple operation. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the overall configuration of a wig 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wig 11 includes a base net 13 that holds a first hair group 12 including multiple hairs 12a. The base net 13 positions the first hair group 12 along the contours of the skull. Once the base net 13 is attached to the user's head, the first hair group 12 allows the user to style the hairstyle. A second hair group 14 including multiple hairs 14a is then placed within the styled hairstyle. Here, the second hair group 14 functions as a mesh holder. The hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 have a color that stands out from the overall color of the hairstyle. For example, if the first hair group 12 is black or chestnut, the second hair group 14 may be gold, silver, or another vivid color. The hairs 12a of the first hair group 12 may be human hair or synthetic hair. Similarly, the hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 may be human hair or synthetic hair. In either case, if the hair 12a, 14a is human hair, the hair 12a, 14a is dyed, and if the hair 12a, 14a is artificial hair, the hair 12a, 14a is colored.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, the base net 13 holds the first hair group 12 with a mesh material 17 that forms meshes 16. Here, each mesh 16 is divided into a hexagon by the mesh material 17. The mesh material 17 can be knitted from threads of a synthetic resin material such as polyester, nylon, or polyurethane. The mesh material 17 provides flexibility to the base net 13. The hairs 12a of the first hair group 12 are knotted to the mesh material 17. The individual hairs 12a extend from knots 18 fixed to the mesh material 17 in a direction that allows them to be laid down, for example, along the base net 13.

[0014] A mesh sheet 21 is sewn onto the base net 13, overlapping it from the outside. The mesh sheet 21 holds the second hair group 14 with a mesh material 23 that forms mesh holes 22. Here, each mesh hole 22 is divided into a square (rectangle) by the mesh material 23. The mesh material 23 is woven from threads of a synthetic resin material such as polyester, nylon, or polyurethane. The mesh material 23 imparts flexibility to the mesh sheet 21. The hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 are tied to the mesh material 23. The individual hairs 14a extend from knots 25 fixed to the mesh material 23 in a direction that allows them to be laid down, for example, along the mesh sheet 21.

[0015] When sewing the mesh sheet 21 to the base net 13, the mesh holes 22 of the mesh sheet 21 overlap the mesh holes 16 of the base net 13. A sewing thread 26 passes through the overlapping mesh holes 22, 16. For example, a fishing line can be used for the sewing thread 26. A half-backstitch can be used for sewing. As shown in FIG. 3, the vertical mesh members 27 of the mesh sheet 21 and the vertical mesh members 28 of the base net 13 are aligned in parallel, so the mesh sheet 21 can be well connected to the base net 13 by a half-backstitch.

[0016] The mesh 22 of the mesh sheet 21 is formed smaller than the mesh 16 of the base net 13. The hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 are arranged at a higher density than the hairs 12a of the first hair group 12. Two or more rows of mesh 22 are allocated to one row of mesh 16. The hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 are efficiently implanted in the empty spaces of the first hair group 12. Here, for example, three rows of mesh 22 are arranged to one row of mesh 16.

[0017] In the mesh sheet 21, the knots 25 of the hair 14a are fixed to mesh materials 23 (29) that extend linearly in the direction of the arrangement. The linear mesh materials 29 extend parallel to each other. The mesh materials 29 are connected to each other by vertical mesh materials 27. The vertical mesh materials 27 are perpendicular to the mesh materials 29. In each row separated by the mesh materials 29, the vertical mesh materials 27 are arranged at equal intervals. The vertical mesh materials 27 are arranged offset in the linear direction of the mesh materials 29 between adjacent rows. Here, the vertical mesh materials 27 are arranged at the midpoint between the two halves of a pair of vertical mesh materials 27 that separate the mesh holes 22 of adjacent rows.

[0018] In the first row of meshes 22, the mesh material 29 is entangled with the hairs 14a of the second hair group 14, while the vertical mesh material 27 is entangled with the sewing thread 26. In the second row of meshes 22, the vertical mesh material 27 is entangled with the sewing thread 26. The second row of meshes 22 is separated from the linear mesh material 29 that is entangled with the hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 by one row of meshes 22.

[0019] A third row of meshes 22 is arranged parallel to the first and second rows between the first and second rows of meshes 22. In the third row, the mesh material 29 is entangled with hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 at each mesh 22. Here, the third row includes three rows of meshes 22. Hairs 14a extend from the three rows of knots 25.

[0020] Next, the operation of the wig 11 will be explained. As shown in FIG. 4, when the base net 13 is attached to the head of the user HM, the first hair group 12 is positioned to follow the shape of the skull. The user HM can style their hairstyle using the first hair group 12. The second hair group 14 is then positioned within the styled hairstyle. A mesh setting function is realized. Depending on the color of the second hair group 14, the second hair group 14 can add variety to the hairstyle of the first hair group 12. The user HM can enjoy changing their hairstyle.

[0021] In the wig 11, the second hair group 14 is arranged by simply sewing the mesh sheet 21 to the base net 13, so the second hair group 14 can be joined to the base net 13 with a much simpler procedure than when hair is implanted in the base net 13. This significantly reduces the work time. For example, the user HM can easily change their hairstyle by simply dropping in at a store.

[0022] When sewing the mesh sheet 21 to the base net 13, the mesh holes 22 of the mesh sheet 21 overlap the mesh holes 16 of the base net 13. When sewing the mesh sheet 21, the sewing thread 26 passes through the overlapping mesh holes 22, 16. The mesh sheet 21 can be easily sewn to the base net 13 according to the overlapping mesh holes 22, 16. When the sewing thread 26 is cut, the mesh sheet 21 can be easily removed from the base net 13. Changes in hairstyle can be easily resolved. When the mesh sheet 21 is sewn to the base net 13 again, the second hair group 14 can be easily replaced. The user HM can enjoy the different changes.

[0023] The second hair group 14 includes a plurality of hairs 14a that extend from knots 25, which are arranged in one or more rows by the mesh sheet 21 and fixed to the mesh material 23, in a direction that allows them to be laid down along the mesh sheet 21. When the hairs 14a are laid down according to the sewing direction, the hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 can be laid down in accordance with the shape of the skull. The second hair group 14 can blend in with the hairstyle of the first hair group 12. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the hairs 14a are laid up according to the sewing direction, the hairs 14a can be raised from the surface. The hairs 14a can create a sense of volume. In this way, the hairstyle can be changed according to the sewing direction.

[0024] In the wig 11 of this embodiment, the knot 25 of the hair 14a is fixed to a mesh material 29 that extends linearly in the direction of the arrangement of the mesh sheet 21. When the mesh sheet 21 is sewn to the base net 13, the sewing thread 26 in the mesh holes 22 of the mesh sheet 21 can become entangled with the mesh material 23 other than the mesh material 29 that supports the knot 25. The single row of mesh holes 22 prevents interference between the hair 14a and the sewing thread 26. The second hair group 14 is implanted in the base net 13 with a minimum amount of mesh sheet 21. The mesh sheet 21 is well hidden by the first hair group 12 and the second hair group 14. Furthermore, when the knot 25 is fixed to the mesh material 29 that extends linearly in the direction of the arrangement, the thickness of the overlapping base net 13 and mesh sheet 21 is reduced compared to when the knot is fixed to the vertical mesh material 27.

[0025] The mesh sheet 21 has a plurality of meshes 22 arranged in a row, each separated by a mesh material 29 that becomes entangled with the hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 and a mesh material 23 that becomes entangled with the sewing thread 26. The hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 and the sewing thread 26 become entangled with the mesh materials 27, 29 that surround (separate) one mesh 22. Even with a single row of meshes 22, interference between the second hair group 14 and the sewing thread 26 can be avoided. The second hair group 14 is implanted in the base net 13 with a minimum number of mesh sheets 21 and a minimum number of sewing threads 26. The mesh sheet 21 is covered by the first hair group 12 and the second hair group 14 and is well hidden.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mesh sheet 21 has a plurality of first meshes 22 arranged in a row, each of which is separated by a mesh material 29 entangled with the hairs 14a of the second hair group 14 and a vertical mesh material 27 entangled with a sewing thread 26 (first row meshes), and a plurality of second meshes 22 arranged in a row parallel to the first meshes 22, each of which is separated by a vertical mesh material 27 entangled with the sewing thread 26 (second row meshes). The sewing thread 26 entangled with the vertical mesh material 27 along the first meshes 22 in the first row and the sewing thread 26 entangled with the vertical mesh material 27 along the second meshes 22 in the second row extend parallel to each other. The mesh sheet 21 can be firmly attached to the base net 13 by the two rows of sewing thread 26. At this time, even though the first mesh 22 has one row of meshes, it is possible to avoid interference with the second group of hairs 14 and the sewing thread 26. The two rows of meshes 22 are well hidden by the first group of hairs 12 and the second group of hairs 14.

[0027] The mesh sheet 21 according to this embodiment further includes a third mesh 22 (third row of meshes) arranged in a row between the first mesh 22 and the second mesh 22, parallel to the first mesh 22 and the second mesh 22, and separated by a mesh material 29 that becomes entangled with the hairs 14a of the second hair group 14. Further hairs 14a are implanted between the two rows of sewing threads 26. This increases the hair volume. The hair volume of the second hair group 14 can be adjusted appropriately according to the hairstyle of the first hair group 12.

[0028] Next, a method for manufacturing the wig 11 will be described. As shown in Figure 6, a wig material sheet 31 is prepared for manufacturing the wig 11. The wig material sheet 31 comprises a mesh sheet 34 having a mesh material 33 that divides multiple rows of meshes 32. Each mesh 32 is divided into a square (rectangle) by the mesh material 33. The mesh material 33 is woven from threads of a synthetic resin material such as polyester, nylon, or polyurethane. One row of mesh 32 is divided by a linearly extending mesh material 33 (36). This mesh material 36 corresponds to, for example, the two long sides of the rectangle.

[0029] The linear mesh members 36 extend parallel to each other. The mesh members 36 are connected to each other by vertical mesh members 37. The vertical mesh members 37 are perpendicular to the mesh members 36. In each row separated by the mesh members 36, the vertical mesh members 37 are arranged at equal intervals. The vertical mesh members 37 are arranged offset in the linear direction of the mesh members 36 between adjacent rows. In this example, the vertical mesh members 37 are arranged at the midpoint between the two halves of a pair of vertical mesh members 37 separating the mesh holes 32 of adjacent rows.

[0030] The outer edge of the mesh sheet 34 is lined with a backing material 38. The backing material 38 is formed of, for example, a fiber sheet. The backing material 38 reinforces the strength of the mesh sheet 34.

[0031] The mesh sheet 34 is fixed to a hard sheet 39. The hard sheet 39 is made of, for example, a transparent hard plastic material. The mesh sheet 34 is placed on the surface of the hard sheet 39. The backing material 38 and the hard sheet 39 are attached to each other with, for example, double-sided adhesive tape. The flexible mesh sheet 34 is held open by the hard sheet 39. However, the mesh sheet 34 is partially adhered at its outer edges. The mesh sheet 34 can be turned up.

[0032] The wig material sheet 31 includes a plurality of hair assemblies 42 formed of hairs 42a tied to a mesh material 33 for each selected row out of a plurality of rows. The mesh sheet 34 holds the hairs 42a with the mesh material 33. Here, the hairs 42a are tied to a linear mesh material 36. The individual hairs 42a extend from knots 43 fixed to the mesh material 33 in a direction that allows them to lie down along the mesh sheet 34, for example.

[0033] Here, the hair 42a functions as a mesh holder. The hair 42a has a color that stands out against the overall color of the envisioned hairstyle. For example, if the entire hairstyle is envisioned to be black or chestnut, the hair 42a may have gold, silver, or another vivid color. The hair 42a may be human hair or artificial hair. If the hair 42a is human hair, the hair 42a is dyed. If the hair 42a is artificial hair, the hair 42a is colored.

[0034] The mesh sheet 34 has blank zones 44 each formed by one or more rows of mesh 32, separating the bristle aggregates 42. The mesh sheet 34 is cut at the blank zones 44. For example, scissors are used for cutting.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 7, when the mesh material 33 is cut at the blank zones 44, the mesh sheet 34 is cut into pieces. Mesh sheet 34b is cut from mesh sheet 34a along cutting lines 45. Hair collections 42 are cut row by row from mesh sheet 34a. The hair collections 42 correspond to the second hair group 14 of the wig 11. When cutting mesh sheet 34a, cutting lines 45 can be set parallel to the mesh material 36. The worker can cut with scissors along one row of mesh holes 32. The vertical mesh material 37 is cut along the linearly continuous mesh material 36. Here, mesh sheet 34b may be divided in the linear direction of mesh material 36 and shortened in the linear direction. At this time, the cutting line crosses the mesh material 36 parallel to the vertical mesh material 37.

[0036] When the mesh 32 of the mesh sheet 34 is overlapped on the mesh 16 of the base net 13, as shown in FIG. 8, the sewing needle 46 can pass through the overlapping meshes 32, 16. The sewing thread 26 is connected to the sewing needle 46 in advance. Because the mesh sheet 34 and the base net 13 have a certain flexibility, the sewing needle 46 can easily penetrate the overlapping mesh sheet 34 and base net 13, similar to sewing together fabrics. When a half-backstitch is performed, the sewing thread 26 can be entangled with the vertical mesh material 37 of the mesh sheet 34 and the vertical mesh material 28 of the base net 13. The mesh sheet 34 can be sewn to the base net 13 according to the overlapping meshes 32, 16. As shown in FIG. 3, during sewing, the hair aggregate 42 (hairs 14a) is sandwiched between two rows of the sewing thread 26. After that, the excess mesh sheet 34 is cut off around the hair aggregate 42.

[0037] By sewing the mesh sheet 34, the hair collection 42 of the mesh sheet 34 can be easily positioned in the hairstyle of the hair implanted in the base net 13. As shown in FIG. 1, the hair collection 42 of the mesh sheet 34 can add variety to the hairstyle of the first hair group 12. In this way, the user can enjoy changing their hairstyle. If such a wig material sheet 31 is provided, the hair collection 42 can be attached to the base net 13 with a much simpler operation than when hair is implanted in the base net 13. The wig material sheet 31 can significantly reduce the burden on the worker.

[0038] In the wig material sheet 31 according to this embodiment, the hair 42a is aligned in a direction that allows it to lie down along the mesh sheet 34 from the knots 43 that secure the hair 42a to the mesh material 36 while arranging it in one or more rows. When the mesh sheet 34 is sewn to the base net 13, if the hair 42a is laid down according to the sewing direction, the hair 42a can be laid down in accordance with the shape of the skull. The hair 42a can blend in with the hairstyle formed by the first hair group 12 of the base net 13. If the hair 42a is laid up according to the sewing direction, the hair 42a can stand up from the surface. The wig material sheet 31 can create a sense of volume for the hair 42a. In this way, the hairstyle can be varied according to the sewing direction.

[0039] In the wig material sheet 31 according to this embodiment, the knots 43 are fixed to the mesh material 36 that extends linearly in the direction of arrangement in the mesh sheet 34. When the mesh sheet 34 is sewn to the base net 13, the sewing thread 26 can become entangled in the mesh material 33 (37) other than the mesh material 36 that supports the knots 43 in the mesh 32 of the mesh sheet 34. The single row of mesh 32 prevents interference between the hair 42a and the sewing thread 26. The hair collection 42 is implanted in the base net 13 with a minimum amount of mesh sheet 34. The mesh sheet 34 is well hidden by the hair 12a and hair 42a of the hair collection 42 that are originally implanted in the base net 13.

[0040] In the above-described embodiment, the wig 11 is described as a wig that covers almost the entire skull of the user, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be applied to various other wigs (hairpieces), such as a wig that is worn only on the top of the skull, or a wig that is worn only on the nape or forehead of the skull.
