The main purposes of the band unit 1 of this disclosure are to prevent sweat from flowing down from the head, to prevent dirt from adhering to the hat 100, and to improve the fit of the hat 100 on the head. The configuration of the hat 100 shown in the figure is just one example, and the band unit 1 of this disclosure can be used with any shape of hat as long as there is something equivalent to the sweatband 101 on the inside, in the same way as shown below. This is also true for other embodiments, so their explanation will be omitted as appropriate. 【0012】 First, as shown in Figure 1, the hat 100 has a crown portion 103 and a brim portion 102. A sweatband 101 is installed in the circumferential direction on the back surface of the crown portion 103. That is, the sweatband 101 is positioned in the circumferential direction of the head of the person wearing the hat 100. Here, this circumferential direction is referred to as the longitudinal direction X of the band pad 8 described below, and the vertical direction when the band unit 1 is attached to the hat 100 is referred to as the short direction Y, with the upper end side as upper end side Y1 and the lower end side as lower end side Y2. Furthermore, the thickness direction of the band unit 1 is referred to as the thickness direction Z, with the front side that does not come into contact with the human head being referred to as the front side Z1 and the rear side that comes into contact with the human head being referred to as the rear side Z2. 【0013】 The band unit 1 is positioned in the circumferential direction (longitudinal direction X) of the sweatband 101, and is always positioned in front of the hat 100, that is, on the side facing the human face when the hat 100 is worn. The band unit 1 comprises a band pad 8 and a mounting part 2. The length W1 of the band pad 8 in the longitudinal direction X is at least 1 / 3 of the circumferential length of the hat 100. Specifically, it is sufficient that the length corresponds to the width of the human face when the hat 100 is worn, but from the viewpoint of preventing sweat from flowing down from the head, preventing dirt from adhering to the hat 100, and ensuring the hat 100 is worn comfortably on the head, it is desirable that the length W1 of the band pad 8 in the longitudinal direction X be the same as the total length of the sweatband 101. In addition, the length H1 of the band pad 8 in the short direction Y is formed to be slightly shorter than the length Y of the sweatband 101. 【0014】 Furthermore, the band pad 8 is detachably attached to the sweatband 101 by the attachment part 2. The band pad 8 is stretchable in the longitudinal direction X. Because the band pad 8 is stretchable in the longitudinal direction X, it is easy to conform to the sweatband 101, making it easy to attach the band unit 1 to the hat 100. In addition, it has a pleated portion 3 that extends in the longitudinal direction X and is formed in a pleated shape at the lower end Y2 in the short direction Y. The length H2 of the pleated portion 3 in the short direction Y is set appropriately according to the length H1 of the band pad 8. 【0015】 The band pad 8 has a back surface 11 on the side facing the slip 101 and a front surface 10 on the side opposite to the slip 101. The back surface 11 is formed as a flat surface 4 in the areas where the pleats 3 are not formed. On the front surface 10, multiple rectangular protrusions 5 are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction X, projecting forward Z1. Each protrusion 5 is expandable in the thickness direction Z. 【0016】 Furthermore, there are flat sections 6 between each protrusion 5 in the longitudinal direction X. The length W2 of the protrusion 5 in the longitudinal direction X and the length W3 of the flat section 6 in the longitudinal direction X are appropriately set so that the proportion of the flat section 6 is smaller than the proportion of the protrusion 5. 【0017】 The bandage pad 8 is made of a woven or knitted fabric, for example, with warp threads in the longitudinal direction X and weft threads in the transverse direction Y. The warp threads consist of a first thread and a second thread which is less elastic than the first thread, and the weft threads consist of a third thread which is less elastic than the first thread. The warp threads of the pleat portion 3 are formed only of the second thread. 【0018】 Specifically, the first thread is made of rubber yarn, the second thread is made of at least one of polyester yarn, nylon yarn, or cotton yarn, and the third thread is made of polyester yarn, nylon yarn, or cotton yarn. The purpose of the bandage pad 8 is to absorb the sweat of the person wearing the hat 100. Therefore, it goes without saying that various types of yarn with moisture-absorbing properties are used. Although examples of woven or knitted fabrics are shown here, the material is not limited to these, and any material with moisture-absorbing properties can be used in the same way. However, since the bandage unit 1 is intended to be washed, it must also be washable and quick-drying. 【0019】 The mounting portion 2 is formed in an inverted U-shape, capable of clamping the slip 101, with a cross-section in the short direction Y having an opening 21 at the lower end Y2 in the short direction Y. The mounting portion 2 is fixed at multiple locations on the back surface 11 of the band pad 8, in the longitudinal direction X of the band pad 8. Furthermore, these locations correspond to the flat portions 6 on the surface 10 of the band pad 8 (this is clear from the relationship between Figure 2A and Figure 2B). Note that the number of mounting portions 2 is just an example and can be set as appropriate. By attaching and detaching the slip 101 between the inverted U-shaped mounting portions 2, the band pad 8 can be attached to and detached from the slip 101 of the hat 100. 【0020】 The specific shape of the mounting portion 2 and the method of fixing it to the band pad 8 will be explained in detail with reference to Figure 4. As previously shown, the mounting portion 2 is formed in an inverted U shape, as shown in Figure 4A, with a cross section in the short direction Y having an opening 21 at the lower end Y2 in the short direction Y. The inverted U shape that clamps the slide 101 has a rear surface portion 22 on the rear side Z2 and a front surface portion 23 on the front side Z1. The length of the front surface portion 23 in the short direction Y is longer at the lower end Y2 than the length of the rear surface portion 22 in the short direction Y. A hole portion 24 for fixing the mounting portion 2 to the band pad 8 is formed at this longer portion. That is, as shown in Figure 4B, the mounting portion 2 is fixed to the band pad 8 by passing a thread 27 through the hole portion 24 of the mounting portion 2 and sewing it to the band pad 8. 【0021】 The rear surface portion 22 has a downward projection 25 on the front side Z1 of the lower end Y2 in the short direction Y. The front surface portion 23 has an upward projection 26 on the rear side Z2 of the upper end Y1 in the short direction Y, at a different position in the short direction Y from the downward projection 25. The slide 101 is sandwiched between these downward projection 25 and upward projection 26 in the thickness direction Z, so that the slide 101 can be reliably held in the mounting portion 2. Although an example of sewing the mounting portion 2 to the band pad 8 through the hole 24 with thread 27 has been shown as a method of fixing the mounting portion 2 to the band pad 8, it is not limited to this, and it is also conceivable that the mounting portion 2 may be fixed to the band pad 8 by means other than sewing with thread, such as adhesive or compression, even if the hole 24 is not provided. 【0022】 Furthermore, while Embodiment 1 above shows an example in which a pleated portion 3 is formed in a pleated shape extending in the longitudinal direction X only at the lower end Y2 in the short direction Y of the band pad 8, it is not limited to this, and as shown in Figures 11 and 12, it is also conceivable that in addition to the pleated portion 3, an upper pleated portion 30 is formed in a pleated shape extending in the longitudinal direction X at the upper end Y1 in the short direction Y of the band pad 8. In this case, the length H10 in the short direction Y of the band pad 8 is formed to be slightly shorter than the length H2 in the short direction Y of the slip 101. Also, the length H2 in the short direction Y of the upper pleated portion 30 is set appropriately according to the length H10 of the band pad 8. Note that, apart from the presence or absence of this upper pleated portion 30, the explanation is the same as in Embodiment 1 above, so it will be omitted as appropriate, and in the following embodiments as well, the relationship with the presence or absence of the upper pleated portion 30 is the same, so it will be omitted as appropriate. 【0023】 Next, the method of using the band unit 1 of Embodiment 1 configured as described above will be explained. The band unit 1 has the back surface 11 of the band pad 8 facing the slip 101 and the front surface 10 of the band pad 8 facing away from the slip 101. The slip 101 is inserted through the opening 21 of the mounting portion 2 on the back surface 11 of the band pad 8, and further inserted between the lower protrusion 25 and the upper protrusion 26 in the thickness direction Z, thereby clamping the slip 101 with the mounting portion 2. Then, as shown in Figure 1, the band unit 1 is attached to the slip 101 of the hat 100. Note that this example shows a case where the length W1 in the longitudinal direction X of the band unit 1 is formed to be approximately the same length as the total length in the circumferential direction of the slip 101. 【0024】 In this state, when a person puts the hat 100 on their head, the upper surface of the protrusions 5 of the band pad 8 of the band unit 1 comes into contact with the person's forehead and other parts of their head. At this time, the longitudinal direction X of the multiple protrusions 5 is formed to have flat parts 6 spaced apart, so air flows through the flat parts 6, resulting in good airflow and excellent breathability. Furthermore, since pleats 3 are formed on the lower end Y2 of the band pad 8, this part also has good airflow and breathability. This reduces stuffiness and provides excellent wearability. Even when the upper pleats 30 are formed, good airflow and breathability are maintained. 【0025】 Furthermore, the part that comes into contact with the human forehead and other parts of the head is the upper surface of the protrusion 5, and since the protrusion 5 is elastic, it creates a soft feel on the human forehead and other parts of the head, resulting in excellent wearability. In addition, since multiple protrusions 5 are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction X, any discomfort from the attachment part 2 fixed to the back surface of the band pad 8 is absorbed by the elasticity of the protrusions 5, and the device can be used with virtually no discomfort from the attachment part 2 on the human forehead and other parts of the head. 【0026】 Furthermore, when a person sweats on their forehead and other parts of their head, the sweat is absorbed by the convex portion 5 of the band pad 8, and the pleat portion 3 at the lower end Y2 prevents the sweat from flowing down to the face or the lower part of the head. If the upper pleat portion 30 is formed, the sweat produced on the person's forehead and other parts of their head is dispersed in this portion and reaches the convex portion 5, allowing for efficient absorption of sweat at the convex portion 5. After use, the attachment portion 2 is removed from the sweatband 101, and the band unit 1 is removed from the hat 100. Then, the band unit 1 is washed and dried in a laundry net or similar. After washing in this way, the band unit 1 can be attached to the hat 100 again as described above. 【0027】 Furthermore, even if the fabric becomes folded during washing, the elasticity of the protrusions 5 allows it to return to its original flat state, thus preventing any problems during washing and drying. In addition, during drying, the flat sections 6 are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction X of the protrusions 5, creating airflow between the protrusions 5 and the flat sections 6, resulting in excellent drying performance for the strip unit 1. 【0028】 In the above, we described a case where the band unit 1 absorbs sweat from the human head so that it does not flow down from the head. However, if, for example, the person is wearing makeup on their face, or has hair care products (such as gel or spray) on their hair, or has other dirt on their hair, attaching the band unit 1 to the sweatband 101 of the hat 100, as in the case described above, will prevent makeup, hair care products, or other dirt from adhering to the sweatband 101 itself, although makeup, hair care products, or other dirt may adhere to the band unit 1. 【0029】 Furthermore, even if makeup, hair care products, or other stains adhere to the band unit 1, the band unit 1 can be removed from the sweatband 101, washed and dried, and then reattached to the sweatband 101 of the hat 100 for use, as described above. In this way, makeup, hair care products, or other stains can be prevented from adhering to the hat 100, especially the sweatband 101. 【0030】 Furthermore, the wearability of the hat 100 fitted with the band unit 1 of this disclosure to the head will be described. The hat 100 may have a length adjustment function attached to the back or inside to adjust the circumferential length of the hat 100. Head shapes and sizes vary greatly, and even when using this length adjustment function of the hat 100, a gap may occur between the head and the hat 100, causing the hat 100 to slip. In addition, some hats 100 may not have a length adjustment function, in which case the gap between the head and the hat 100 cannot be adjusted. Also, if the head is small and the hat 100 does not fit the head and is loose, even if the length adjustment function of the hat 100 is adjusted to the smallest setting, the hat 100 may still be loose and slip. 【0031】 Even in the cases described above, as shown in Figure 1, when the hat 100 is worn on the head with the band unit 1 attached to the sweatband 101 of the hat 100, the convex part 5 of the band unit 1 and the head come into close contact, and the friction between the convex part 5 of the band unit 1 and the head causes the hat 100 to adhere tightly to the head, reducing the looseness that occurs when wearing the hat 100. This not only prevents sweat from dripping from the head, but also improves the fit of the hat 100 and reduces the shifting of the hat 100, preventing phenomena such as it being blown away in strong winds. 【0032】 The reason why the convex portion 5 of the band unit 1 of the hat 100 can be in close contact with the head will be further explained using Figures 13 and 14. Figures 13 and 14 show a comparison between a regular plain weave fabric (flat elastic is shown as an example in Figures 13 and 14, and this shape will be referred to as "flat elastic"), a band pad of the band pad of the present disclosure that lacks the pleats and upper pleats of the band pad and has a similarly formed convex portion (hereinafter this shape will be referred to as "comparative band pad"), and the band pad 8 of the band unit 1 of the present disclosure. 【0033】 Figures 13 and 14 show photographs comparing how a flat elastic band, a comparative band pad, and a band pad conform to a plane after being similarly curved. Figures 13A and 14A show the flat elastic band, Figures 13B and 14B show the comparative band pad, and Figures 13C and 14C show the band pad 8. As is clear from Figures 13 and 14, the flat elastic band clearly bulges in the center and cannot conform to the plane. The comparative band pad bulges slightly from the plane in the center, although less so than the flat elastic band. The band pad 8 of this disclosure shows no bulge in the center and can be easily confirmed to conform to the plane. This difference in phenomenon is more clearly visible when viewed from a lower angle in Figure 14. 【0034】 As is clear from Figures 13 and 14, when flat rubber is curved, it lifts up from the plane and becomes difficult to conform to the plane. In addition, the comparative band pad has protrusions similar to those in the present disclosure formed at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction, reducing the bulge. Furthermore, in the band pad 8 of the present disclosure, the protrusions 5 are formed at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction X, and the pleats 3 and upper pleats 30 are also formed, so this part becomes bellows-like and further reduces the bulge. 【0035】 In other words, the band unit 1 of this disclosure can be easily fitted along the curved circumferential direction of the sweatband 101 of the cap 100. This ensures that the degree of contact between the convex portion 5 of the band unit 1 and the head is reliably maintained, and the effects described above can be reliably obtained. Although Figures 13 and 14 show a band pad 8 having both the pleated portion 3 and the upper pleated portion 30, the same phenomenon can be obtained with a band pad 8 having only the pleated portion 3. 【0036】 Thus, the band unit 1 of this disclosure can reliably conform to a curve and reliably conform to the sweatband 101 of the hat 100, so the band unit 1 of this disclosure is not easily visible from the appearance of the hat 100 and does not cause any discomfort to third parties. Furthermore, although the convex portion 5 of the band unit 1 is in close contact with the head, airflow in the short direction Y is possible in the flat portion 6 and pleated portion 3 between the convex portions 5, or in the flat portion 6, upper pleated portion 30 and pleated portion 3 between the convex portions 5, so that air can be exchanged between the inside of the hat 100 and the outside air, preventing the head inside the hat 100 from becoming stuffy with sweat or heat. 【0037】 The illustrated hat 100 is just one example; it may be a hat-shaped hat, and furthermore, the band unit 1 of this disclosure can be used with other hat shapes as long as there is something equivalent to the sweatband 101 on the underside, in the same way as shown above. 【0038】 Furthermore, the size of the band pad 8, as well as the sizes of the convex portion 5, the flat portion 6, and the pleated portion 3, can be set and configured as needed. Furthermore, the size of the mounting part 2 is set appropriately as needed to match these sizes. 【0039】 According to the band unit of Embodiment 1 configured as described above, A band unit that is installed in the circumferential direction of the sweatband, which is installed in the circumferential direction on the underside of the crown of the hat, A band-shaped pad with the circumferential direction as the longitudinal direction, The band pad is equipped with a mounting portion for attaching the band pad to the slip, The aforementioned band pad is It has elasticity in the longitudinal direction, It has a pleated portion that extends in the longitudinal direction and is formed in a pleated shape on the lower end in the short direction, The reverse side is positioned on the sliding side, and the areas where the pleats are not formed are formed as flat surfaces. The surface is positioned on the side opposite to the slip, and multiple rectangular protrusions are formed at intervals along the longitudinal direction in the areas where the folds are not formed. Each of the aforementioned protrusions has elasticity in the thickness direction, Each of the aforementioned protrusions has a flat portion between it in the longitudinal direction. The aforementioned mounting portion is The band pad is fixed to the back surface. Therefore, It is economical and excellent at preventing sweat from the head from running down to the lower body. 【0040】 Furthermore, according to the band unit of Embodiment 1 configured as described above, The aforementioned band-shaped pad includes an upper pleated portion that extends longitudinally and is formed in a pleated shape on the upper end in the short direction. Therefore, Because sweat from the head can be dispersed by the upper folds and reach the protruding parts, a band unit can be obtained in which sweat can be efficiently absorbed by the protruding parts. 【0041】 Furthermore, according to the band unit of Embodiment 1 configured as described above, The mounting portion is formed in an inverted U-shape with a cross section in the short direction capable of gripping the slide having an opening at the lower end in the short direction, and is fixed at multiple locations on the back surface of the band pad in the longitudinal direction of the band pad, corresponding to the flat portion of the front surface of the band pad. The band pad can be attached to and detached from the sweatband of the hat by attaching it to the sweatband through the inverted U-shaped opening of the mounting portion. Therefore, This provides a band unit that can reliably grip slippage within an inverted U-shape. 【0042】 Furthermore, according to the band unit of Embodiment 1 configured as described above, The longitudinal length of the aforementioned band pad is at least one-third of the circumferential length of the aforementioned hat. Therefore, It effectively prevents sweat from running down your face from your forehead. 【0043】 Furthermore, according to the band unit of Embodiment 1 configured as described above, The aforementioned band pad is It is made of a woven or knitted fabric with warp threads running in the long direction and weft threads running in the short direction. The warp threads consist of a first thread and a second thread that is less elastic than the first thread. The aforementioned weft thread is made of a third thread that has lower elasticity than the first thread. The warp threads in the pleated portion are formed solely from the second thread. Therefore, A band unit with excellent attachment properties to a hat can be obtained. 【0044】 Furthermore, according to the band unit of Embodiment 1 configured as described above, The aforementioned first thread is made of rubber thread. The aforementioned second thread is made of at least one of polyester thread, nylon thread, or cotton thread. The aforementioned third thread is made of polyester, nylon, or cotton. Therefore, A band unit with excellent moisture absorption properties can be obtained. 【0045】 Embodiment 2.
