[0009] The following "Embodiments of the Invention" are examples of embodiments that fall within the technical scope of this disclosure. In other words, the features defining the invention as described in the claims are not limited to the specific configurations and structures shown in the embodiments below.

[0010] The arrows and diagonal lines indicating direction in each figure are included to facilitate understanding of the relationships between the figures and the shapes of each component or part. Therefore, the inventions shown in this disclosure are not limited to the directions indicated in each figure. Diagonal lines do not always indicate cross-sectional views.

[0011] At least one of the components or parts described with reference numerals is provided unless otherwise specified, such as "one". In other words, if there is no such specification, such as "one", there may be two or more such components. The collar cover shown in this disclosure comprises at least one of the components, such as the components or parts described with reference numerals, and the illustrated structural parts.

[0012] (First Embodiment) <Overview of collar covers> As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment applies an example of a neck cover according to the present disclosure to a cover 1 that covers the neck of a person receiving a treatment during a beauty treatment or a barbering treatment.

[0013] The neck cover 1 according to this embodiment includes at least a cross 2, a connecting part 3, and a connected part 4, as shown in Figure 2. The cross 2 is a fabric for covering the neck of the person receiving treatment and is configured in a roughly horseshoe shape or a roughly C shape. The cross 2 according to this embodiment is made of an elastic material such as rubber.

[0014] The connecting portion 3 and the connected portion 4 are parts for connecting one end and the other end of the cross 2. One end of the cross 2 refers to one side of the cut 2A of the cross 2, which is configured to be roughly horseshoe-shaped or roughly C-shaped. The other end of the cross 2 refers to the other side of the cut 2A.

[0015] In the collar cover 1 according to this embodiment, in Figure 2, the left side of the cut 2A corresponds to one end of the cross 2, and the right side of the cut 2A corresponds to the other end of the cross 2. A connecting portion 3 is provided on one end of the cross 2, and a connected portion 4 is provided on the other end of the cross 2.

[0016] At the approximate center of Cross 2, a hole 2B is provided. The hole 2B is a hole through which the neck of the subject can pass. And the cut 2A is continuous with the hole 2B and extends forward from the hole 2B. Here, the "front side" refers to the side of the outer edge of Cross 2 where the cut 2A is located.

[0017] In addition, in FIG. 2, the hook 5 is for hanging the collar cover 1. The hook 5 is made of resin and can be detachably attached to Cross 2. <2. Details of the connecting part and the connected part, etc.> <2.1 Connecting part> As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting part 3 has at least one (in this embodiment, a plurality) of permanent magnets 3A, a holding plate 3B, etc. These permanent magnets 3A are arranged in series along the cut 2A of Cross 2.

[0018] The holding plate 3B is a member for holding the position of each permanent magnet 3A with respect to Cross 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the holding plate 3B is provided with a recess 3C into which the permanent magnet 3A is fitted.

[0019] In addition, the recess 3C according to this embodiment is formed by a through hole that penetrates the holding plate 3B in the thickness direction (the vertical direction of the paper surface in FIG. 4). Also, the holding plate 3B is made of a flexible member such as sponge. [[ID=:21]]

[0020] And the holding plate 3B is fixedly attached to Cross 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, a cover 3D covering the holding plate 3B is fixed to Cross 2, and the holding plate 3B is sandwiched between Cross 2 and the cover 3D.

[0021] In addition, the cover 3D according to this embodiment is made of vinyl chloride. The cover 3D is fixed to Cross 2 by sewing or high-frequency welding. The holding plate 3B is fixed to the cover 3D with double-sided tape.

[0022] <2.2 Connected parts> As shown in Figure 5, the connected portion 4 is provided with a metal plate 4A made of a ferromagnetic material (in this embodiment, a galvanized steel sheet). The metal plate 4A has at least a first portion 4B and a second portion 4C, etc.

[0023] The first portion 4B is the part that extends substantially along the cut 2A of the cross 2. The second portion 4C is the part that extends along the outer edge 2C of the cross 2. In addition, the metal plate 4A according to this embodiment is also provided with portions 4D to 4H that are substantially parallel to the second portion 4C.

[0024] In sections 4D to 4H, the closer they are to hole 2B, the smaller the dimension of the portion parallel to the second section 4C. Note that the first section 4B, the second section 4C, and sections 4D to 4H are all made from a single metal plate. In other words, the metal plate 4A is constructed in a roughly fan-shaped or triangular shape, with the hole 2B side being the apex.

[0025] The metal plate 4A is covered by the cover 4J and attached to the cross 2. The cover 4J is fixed to the cross 2 by sutures or high-frequency welding. In other words, the metal plate 4A is fixed between the cover 4J and the cross 2.

[0026] Furthermore, the multiple permanent magnets 3A and metal plates 4A (first part 4B, second part 4C, and parts 4D-4H) are positioned in front of the hole 2B, as shown in Figure 2. Therefore, when the neck cover 1 is attached to the person receiving treatment, the connecting part 3 and the connected part 4 are positioned on the front side of the person's neck.

[0027] <3. Features of the collar cover according to this embodiment> In the collar cover 1 according to this embodiment, a permanent magnet 3A is placed on one end of the cross 2, and a metal plate 4A is placed on the other end. This allows the practitioner to attract the permanent magnet 3A to any position on the metal plate 4A.

[0028] At this time, the practitioner can attach the permanent magnet 3A to the metal plate 4A from either one side or the other side of the metal plate 4A. In other words, the practitioner can either (a) connect one end of the cross 2 by overlapping it with the other end of the cross 2, or (b) connect the other end of the cross 2 by overlapping it with the one end of the cross 2.

[0029] Furthermore, since the attractive force of the permanent magnet 3A is used to connect one end of the cloth 2 to the other end, compared to a configuration in which, for example, hook-and-loop fasteners are used to connect one end of the cloth 2 to the other end, "hair clippings" generated during haircuts do not adhere to the connecting part 3 or the connected part 4. Therefore, the collar cover 1 is more hygienic than hook-and-loop fasteners.

[0030] As a result, the neck cover 1 improves the convenience for the practitioner and reliably covers the neck of the person being treated. In this embodiment, the cross 2 is made of stretchable rubber, and the permanent magnet 3A and the metal plate 4A are positioned in front of the hole 2B.

[0031] This allows the permanent magnet 3A and the metal plate 4A to function as weights, which pull the cross 2 forward. As a result, the cross 2 automatically adheres to the back of the neck of the person being treated with the neck cover 1, ensuring that the back of the person's neck is securely sealed.

[0032] Furthermore, the device includes a retaining plate 3B having a recess 3C into which the permanent magnet 3A is fitted, and the retaining plate 3B is attached to the cross 2. This ensures that the permanent magnet 3A is securely fixed to the cross 2, compared to, for example, a configuration in which the permanent magnet 3A is fixed to the cross 2 with double-sided tape.

[0033] (Second Embodiment) In the above-described embodiment, the connected portion 4, i.e., the metal plate 4A, was provided with a second portion 4C and portions 4D to 4H in addition to the first portion 4B. In contrast, in the metal plate 4A of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the second portion 4C and portions 4D to 4H have been eliminated, and only the first portion 4B is provided.

[0034] Note that components identical to those in the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals. Therefore, redundant explanations are omitted in this embodiment. (Third embodiment) In the above-described embodiment, the permanent magnet 3A was fitted into the recess 3C. In contrast, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the permanent magnet 3A is fixed to the cover 3D by a high-frequency welding film 3E. The high-frequency welding film 3E is welded and fixed to the cover 3D by high frequency.

[0035] (Other embodiments) In the embodiment described above, the cloth 2 was made of rubber. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the disclosure may also describe a cloth 2 made of, for example, a non-stretchable fabric.

[0036] In the embodiments described above, the outer edge shape of the cross 2 was a circle or a polygon. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the disclosure may be other shapes, such as a star shape.

[0037] In the above-described embodiment, the retaining plate 3B and the cover 3D were separate components. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, in this disclosure, for example, the cover 3D may be subjected to press forming or the like to form a recess 3C in the cover 3D.

[0038] In other words, in this configuration, the cover 3D also serves as the retaining plate 3B. Incidentally, in the configuration where the cover 3D also serves as the retaining plate 3B, the recess 3C is not a through hole, but a recess with a closed surface.

[0039] In the above-described embodiment, the metal plate 4A was a rigid body. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the disclosure may also describe a metal plate 4A being made of a metal sheet having a thin thickness such that it is flexible.

[0040] In the embodiment described above, a plurality of permanent magnets 3A were provided. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the disclosure may include, for example, a permanent magnet 3A made of a single sintered magnet or a bonded magnet.

[0041] Furthermore, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, but is sufficient to be consistent with the intent of the disclosures described in the embodiments described above. Therefore, it may be a configuration in which at least two of the embodiments described above are combined, or a configuration in which any of the illustrated components or components described with reference numerals in the embodiments described above are omitted.
