Description

Technical Field

[0005] , , , ,

[0001] This invention relates to a hat that provides a space between the hat and the head without directly placing the hat on the head or tightening the head at the sliding part of the hat, and a support for supporting the hat. Technical Background

[0002] Hats have a strong fashion significance and are also worn as a measure against ultraviolet rays on the hair and scalp. However, conventional hats are generally worn by directly placing them on the head and tightening them at the sliding part. Therefore, the inside of the hat becomes stuffy, and sebum is secreted, creating an environment where miscellaneous bacteria easily multiply, which also has an adverse effect on the hair roots. In addition, hats that are too tight inhibit blood circulation in the scalp and are also a negative factor for the hair and hair roots. For women, there is also a cosmetic problem that wearing a hat messes up the hairstyle.

[0003] One of the proposals to solve such problems is the hat described in Patent Document 1. The hat described in this patent document provides a connecting member at the upper part of the left and right rims of the front of the glasses, the central parts of the left and right temples, and the left and right of the modern temple tip. The connecting member is fixed to the sliding part of the hat to provide a space between the hat and the head, so that the hat is not supported by the head and is a support for the hat.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The hat described in Patent Document 1 has a space of approximately 1 cm to 3 cm between the hat and the head, so it has excellent breathability. Not only is it a measure against ultraviolet rays, but the scalp will not become stuffy and sweat, and sebum will not be secreted, creating an environment where miscellaneous bacteria easily multiply. It also does not inhibit blood circulation in the scalp and has no adverse effects on the hair and hair roots. It is also effective for the beauty problem of hats ruining hairstyles. However, this type of hat had a connecting member attached to the glasses themselves, which was fixed to the sweatband of the hat, creating a space between the hat and the head, and not being supported by the head. Therefore, when the hat was removed, it was not a problem for people who did not normally wear glasses, but glasses wearers had to have their glasses ready separately. Furthermore, the hat is supported by connecting members located on the upper parts of the left and right rims of the front of the glasses, the central parts of the left and right temples, and the left and right ends of the temple tips, and is fixed to the sweatband of the hat. This is fine when walking or watching sports, where the head does not move much, but when picking something up or doing work, where the head is moved up and down a lot and frequently, the hat and glasses move together. Therefore, there are problems with the method of connecting the glasses and the support, and with the connecting members, and there is room for improvement. Means to solve the problem

[0006] After diligently considering ways to solve these problems, we devised a novel method and structure. As a solution, we devised a method that does not require the use of special, dedicated glasses. Specifically, it consists of a U-shaped member, a connecting member, a flange fixing member, and a glasses fixing device, and the glasses are attached to this support structure. This new design makes it possible to attach and detach glasses, eliminating inconvenience for glasses wearers. Furthermore, these components, and especially the connecting members, address the problem of the hat and glasses moving around.

[0007] Furthermore, a second configuration of the present invention for simplifying the structure is a support device that revises the structure of eyeglasses, and is a support device consisting of an eyeglass temple member, a connecting member, and a brim fixing member. It is suitable for people who do not normally wear glasses and who want to put on and take off their hats at the same time. These configurations, and in particular the connecting members, make it possible to address the problem of the hat and glasses moving. Effect of the Invention

[0008] By creating a space of approximately 1cm to 3cm between the hat and the head, the hat offers good ventilation, improving the environment where the head becomes stuffy, sweaty, and prone to bacterial growth due to sebum secretion. Furthermore, it does not hinder blood circulation in the scalp, which is a significant benefit for hair and hair follicles. Wearing a hat also prevents your hairstyle from getting messed up. The glasses attachment and detachment method of the U-shaped glasses support according to claim 1 eliminates the need for glasses wearers to prepare glasses separately. The eyeglass-type support device of claim 2 has increased the options available to people who do not wear glasses. Furthermore, the problem of the hat and glasses moving together when picking something up or moving the head up and down frequently during work was improved by a method in which both support devices firmly hold the hat at two points on the front end to the brim and at two points on the rear end by the connecting member sliding on the inside of the lower edge of the hat's side crown, and by the effect of the elastic body inside the cylinder of the connecting member tightening appropriately on the back of the head.

[0010] An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a left side view of the hat (1) according to claim 1 when worn. It is a view before the U-shaped glasses support (3,4) is attached. The hat is not supported by the head, and there is a space (2) of approximately 1 cm to 3 cm between the head and the hat, so that the top crown of the hat does not rest on the head and the sides of the head are not tightened by the side crown or slip. Figure 2 is a front view of the hat (1) from Figure 1 being worn.

[0011] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the U-shaped eyeglass support (3,4) according to claim 1. It is a support used between the head and the hat in order to create a space between the hat and the head, and its configuration consists of two U-shaped members, a connecting member, two brim fixing members, and two eyeglass fixing members. The U-shaped member is made of a U-shaped cross-section and holds the eyeglass temples in the valley with the opening facing upwards. A portion of the inner side of the support is notched (10) to facilitate the inward extension of the earpiece portion of the temples. The rearmost end of the support, located at the rearmost end, protrudes outwards from the hat and has a projection (15) that is bent towards the hat. The connecting member has a structure in which a soft material such as cloth or vinyl is made into a tube (7), curved, and an elastic body such as rubber (8) is passed through the tube. The connecting member is connected to the rear end of the U-shaped member on the back of the head side, and the connecting body is sewn or fixed to the inner slip (12) at the lower end of the side crown of the hat. When wearing the hat of this invention, the temples of the glasses are slightly widened and attached to the face. This method makes it easy to widen the temples, and they return to their original state immediately after being worn, and tightens around the back of the head with appropriate force, so the support force is greatly increased. The brim fixing member (5) is attached to the foremost end of the support, and the side that attaches to the brim of the hat is a hook-and-loop fastener (6) to accommodate the different frame widths of eyeglasses. The aforementioned eyeglass fixing device (11) is used to fix the U-shaped member and the eyeglass temple by attaching a bolt, clip, etc. to the outside of the U-shaped member, approximately 3 cm to 4 cm from the hinge when the eyeglasses are attached. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the U-shaped glasses support (3, 4) attached to the hat (1). Figure 5 is a perspective view of the glasses (9) attached to the U-shaped glasses support (3, 4). Figure 6 is a perspective view of the glasses (9) attached to the U-shaped glasses support (3, 4) and further attached to the hat (1). Figure 7 is a left side view of wearing the hat of Figure 6. It is a U-shaped glasses support characterized by attaching glasses to the U-shaped glasses support having such a configuration.

[0012] Figure 8 is a perspective view of the glasses-type support (13) of Claim 2. The support (13) is a structure in which the glasses structure used between the head and the hat is reexamined in order to provide a space between the hat and the head, and its configuration consists of a glasses temple member, a coupling member, and two flange fixing members. The glasses temple member extends the temples linearly (14a, 14b) from the temple ear contact portions on both sides of the glasses. The rearmost end located on the back of the head side of the temple projects outside the hat and has a protrusion (16) bent toward the hat side. The coupling member is made of a soft material such as cloth or vinyl into a cylindrical shape (7), curved, and has a structure in which an elastic body (8) such as rubber is passed through the cylinder. The coupling member is coupled near the rear end on the back of the head side of the glasses temple extension portion, and further, the combined body is sewn or fixed to the inner slide (12) of the hat. When wearing the hat of the present invention, the glasses temples are slightly widened and worn on the face. By this method, it is easy to widen, immediately returns to the original state after wearing, and the back of the head is tightened with an appropriate force, so the supporting force is significantly increased. The flange fixing member (5) is attached to the yoroi (armor) at both ends of the front of the glasses, and in order to correspond to the frame widths of different sizes of glasses, the surface attached to the brim of the hat is a snap fastener (6). Figure 9 is a perspective view of the glasses-type support (13) attached to the hat (1). Figure 10 is a left side view of wearing the hat of Figure 9. This is a spectacle-type support device characterized by a redesign of the spectacle structure with such a configuration. [Explanation of Symbols] 1 hat 2. A space of approximately 1 cm to 3 cm. 3.
