[0011] The hood 1 shown in Figures 1 to 6 will now be described. The hood 1 is one embodiment of the garment according to the present invention. The garment covers the wearer's head and is composed of, for example, a hood or a hat. In the following description, the garment will be described as the hood 1. The hood 1 may be a standalone piece, an integral part of the jacket, or a separate piece that is detachably attached to the jacket. The jacket to which the hood 1 is attached may be, for example, a regular garment, a raincoat, or a poncho. In the following explanation, the up-down, left-right, and right-right directions of the hood 1 when worn by a standing wearer will be used as the up-down, left-right, and right-right directions of the hood 1, but the up-down, left-right, and right-right directions of the hood 1 are not limited to these.

[0012] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the hood 1 comprises a main body 10, a flange 20, a gusset 30, and a visor 40.

[0013] The main body 10 is made of a relatively soft fabric, such as polyester. The main body 10 is configured to cover the wearer's head. When the main body 10 is covering the wearer's head, the wearer's face is exposed through an opening 11 formed by the front edge of the main body 10.

[0014] The brim 20 is provided on the main body 10. The brim 20 is made of a relatively soft fabric, such as polyester. The brim 20 has a core material inside and is made to be relatively thicker and relatively harder than the main body 10. The brim 20 is positioned on the upper edge of the main body 10. The brim 20 is positioned above the opening 11 of the main body 10 when the main body 10 is covering the wearer's head. The brim 20 is configured to protrude forward from the main body 10. The brim 20 is positioned in front of the opening 11 of the main body 10.

[0015] The gusset 30 is provided on the main body 10. The gusset 30 is made of a relatively soft fabric, such as polyester. The gusset 30 is configured with its longitudinal direction in the left-right direction. The left-right width of the gusset 30 is configured to be approximately the same as the left-right width of the brim 20. The gusset 30 is positioned near the upper edge of the main body 10. The upper edge of the gusset 30 is provided on the upper edge of the main body 10. When the main body 10 covers the wearer's head, the gusset 30 is positioned above the opening 11 of the main body 10. The gusset 30 is positioned below the brim 20.

[0016] The visor 40 is attached to the main body 10 via the gusset 30. The width of the visor 40 is configured to be approximately the same as the width of the brim 20 and the gusset 30. The visor 40 is positioned on the upper edge of the main body 10. The visor 40 is positioned above the opening 11 of the main body 10 when the main body 10 covers the wearer's head. The visor 40 is positioned below the brim 20. The visor 40 is configured to protrude forward from the main body 10. The visor 40 is positioned in front of the opening 11 of the main body 10. The visor 40 protrudes forward from the brim 20. The left and right ends of the visor 40 are each positioned near the opening 11 of the main body 10. The rear edge of the visor 40 is provided on the lower edge of the gusset 30. The rear edge of the visor 40 is configured in an arc shape according to the shape of the wearer's head.

[0017] The visor 40 comprises a visor portion 41 and an edge portion 42. The visor portion 41 is a flat plate-shaped member. The visor portion 41 is configured to be elastically deformable. The visor portion 41 has light transmissivity and is configured to be transparent or translucent. The visor portion 41 is made of, for example, a resin material of polycarbonate or acrylic. It should be noted that the visor portion 41 may be configured such that a treatment for reducing the transmittance of ultraviolet rays is applied to the surface thereof. The edge portion 42 is provided so as to cover the edge of the visor portion 41.

[0018] The visor 40 is configured to be rotatable in the vertical direction relative to the main body 10 around the left and right end portions of the visor 40. The visor 40 is configured such that when rotated upward, it is in the unused position of the visor 40, and when rotated downward, it is in the use position of the visor 40. When the visor 40 is rotated upward, the visor 40 is positioned so as to be close to the lower side of the brim 20 and located above the wearer's face (see FIG. 1, FIG. 3, or FIG. 5). The state where the visor 40 is rotated upward is defined as the unused position of the visor 40. When the visor 40 is rotated downward, the visor 40 is spaced downward from the brim 20 and positioned in front of the upper part of the wearer's face (in front of the wearer's eyes) (see FIG. 2, FIG. 4, or FIG. 6). The visor portion 41 of the visor 40 is made of a light-transmissive material and configured to be transparent or translucent, so that when the visor 40 is rotated downward, the wearer can visually recognize the surrounding situation through the visor portion 41 of the visor 40. The state where the visor 40 is rotated downward is defined as the use position of the visor 40. The maximum rotation angle of the visor 40 relative to the main body 10 is set to approximately 20 degrees to 30 degrees. It should be noted that the maximum rotation angle of the visor 40 relative to the main body 10 is not limited to such an angle, and may be appropriately set according to specifications. In other words, the visor 40 may be configured to be positioned in front of the entire wearer's face when the visor 40 is rotated downward.

[0019] As described above, the visor 40 is configured to rotate vertically relative to the main body 10. When rotated upward, the visor 40 is in an unused position, and when rotated downward, the visor 40 is in a usable position. This configuration allows switching between the unused and unused positions of the visor 40 without having to attach or detach the visor 40 to the hood 1. Therefore, the switching between using and not using the visor 40 is easier compared to systems that require attaching or detaching the visor 40 to the hood 1.

[0020] As described above, the width of the gusset 30 is configured to be roughly the same as the width of the flange 20, and the width of the visor 40 is configured to be roughly the same as the width of the flange 20 and the gusset 30. In other words, the gusset 30 is configured to extend to the left and right of both the flange 20 and the visor 40. Also, as described above, the upper edge of the gusset 30 is provided on the upper edge of the main body 10, and the rear edge of the visor 40 is provided on the lower edge of the gusset 30. In this way, the gusset 30 is positioned between the flange 20 and the visor 40 and is configured to fill the space between the flange 20 and the visor 40. With this configuration, the gusset 30 can prevent foreign matter such as water or wind from entering the hood 1 from between the flange 20 and the visor 40.

[0021] Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the gusset 30 is made of a relatively soft material, when the visor 40 is rotated upward, the gusset 30 is folded in the direction of its shorter side. This configuration prevents foreign matter such as water or wind from entering the hood 1 from between the flange 20 and the visor 40, while also allowing the visor 40 to be easily rotated upward relative to the main body 10.

[0022] Furthermore, the gusset 30 may be constructed with an elastic member such as a rubber band or wire. The elastic member holds the visor 40 in a shape that is convex upwards due to its elastic force. The elastic member is provided in the middle of the gusset 30 in the short direction and is arranged along the left-right direction of the gusset 30.

[0023] The hood 1 is configured to hold the visor 40 in an upward-rotated position. The hood 1 is also configured to hold the visor 40 in a downward-rotated position. The tsuba 20 is provided with a pair of first fastening parts 21, 21 on the left and right sides, the visor 40 is provided with a pair of second fastening parts 43, 43 on the left and right sides, and the gusset 30 is provided with a pair of third fastening parts 31, 31 on the left and right sides. The pair of first fastening parts 21, 21 of the guard 20 are positioned on the left and right sides of the guard 20, respectively. The first fastening parts 21 of the guard 20 are positioned near the edge of the main body 10. The first fastening parts 21 of the guard 20 are composed of, for example, female snap buttons. The pair of second fastening parts 43, 43 of the visor 40 are positioned on the left and right sides of the visor 40, respectively. The second fastening parts 43 of the visor 40 are positioned near the edge of the main body 10. The second fastening parts 43 of the visor 40 are, for example, made of male snap buttons and are configured to be detachably attached to the first fastening part 21 of the flange 20. The pair of third fastening parts 31, 31 of the gusset 30 are positioned on the left and right sides of the gusset 30, respectively. The third fastening parts 31 of the gusset 30 are positioned near the edge of the main body 10. The third fastening parts 31 of the gusset 30 are made of, for example, male snap buttons and are configured to be detachably attached to the first fastening part 21 of the flange 20.

[0024] By fastening the first fastening portion 21 of the brim 20 with the second fastening portion 43 of the visor 40, the visor 40 is maintained in an upward-rotated position. By fastening the first fastening portion 21 of the fascia 20 with the third fastening portion 31 of the gusset 30, the visor 40 is maintained in a rotated position downwards. Furthermore, the first fastening portion 21 of the brim 20, the second fastening portion 43 of the visor 40, and the third fastening portion 31 of the gusset 30 are not limited to being made of snap buttons, but may be configured in such a way that the first fastening portion 21 and the second fastening portion 43 are detachable, and the first fastening portion 21 and the third fastening portion 31 are detachable, for example, by other fastening means such as hook-and-loop fasteners. Also, the configuration may be such that either the second fastening portion 43 or the third fastening portion 31 is not provided. In addition, the first fastening portion 21 of the brim 20, the second fastening portion 43 of the visor 40, and the third fastening portion 31 of the gusset 30 are not limited to being a pair on the left and right, but may be made of one or three or more depending on the specifications.

[0025] As described above, the hood 1 is configured to maintain the visor 40 in an upward-rotated position. This configuration prevents the visor 40 from rotating from its unused position against the wearer's intention. Furthermore, as described above, the hood 1 is configured to maintain the position in which the visor 40 is rotated downward. This configuration prevents the visor 40 from rotating away from its intended position against the wearer's will.

[0026] Furthermore, as described above, by fastening the first fastening portion 21 of the flange 20 and the second fastening portion 43 of the visor 40, the visor 40 is maintained in an upwardly rotated position. With this configuration, a visor 40 that can maintain an upwardly rotated position can be realized with a simple structure. Furthermore, as described above, by fastening the first fastening portion 21 of the flange 20 and the third fastening portion 31 of the gusset 30, the visor 40 is maintained in a downward-rotated state. With this configuration, a visor 40 that can maintain a downward-rotated state can be realized with a simple structure.

[0027] The hood 1 is equipped with a support portion 50. The support portion 50 supports the visor 40 in an upward-rotated state and in a downward-rotated state, respectively. The support portion 50 is made of, for example, a resin material and is configured in a flat plate shape. The support portion 50 is made of a material harder than the main body 10, the flange 20, and the gusset 30. The support portion 50 is positioned between the flange 20 and the visor 40. The support portion 50 is positioned in the left-right center of the flange 20 and the visor 40. One end of the support portion 50 is provided in the middle of the front-rear and left-right center on the lower surface of the flange 20. The other end of the support portion 50 is provided in the left-right center on the rear edge of the visor 40.

[0028] When the visor 40 is rotated upward, one end of the support portion 50 is generally facing forward, and the other end of the support portion 50 is generally facing backward. In this state, when no load greater than a predetermined load is applied to the visor 40, the support portion 50 supports the visor 40 in its upward rotation position. When the visor 40 is rotated downward, one end of the support portion 50 is generally facing upward, and the other end of the support portion 50 is generally facing downward. In this state, when no load greater than a predetermined load is applied to the visor 40, the support portion 50 supports the visor 40 in its rotated downward position.

[0029] When the visor 40 is rotated upward, if the wearer of the hood 1 grasps the visor 40 and rotates it downward, the brim 20 and the visor 40 will elastically deform, causing the support part 50 to rotate. When the visor 40 is rotated downward, one end of the support part 50 will be facing generally upward, and the other end of the support part 50 will be facing generally downward, and the support part 50 will support the visor 40 in its downward rotated state. When the visor 40 is rotated downward, if the wearer of the hood 1 grasps the visor 40 and rotates it upward, the brim 20 and the visor 40 elastically deform, causing the support part 50 to rotate. With the visor 40 rotated upward, one end of the support part 50 faces generally forward and the other end faces generally backward, and the support part 50 supports the visor 40 in its upward rotated position.

[0030] As described above, the support part 50 supports the visor 40 in both the upward-rotated and downward-rotated states. This configuration prevents the visor 40 from rotating from the unused or used position against the wearer's intention.

[0031] As described above, the support portion 50 is made of a flat plate-shaped member and is positioned between the flange 20 and the visor 40. One end of the support portion 50 is provided on the lower surface of the flange 20, and the other end of the support portion 50 is provided on the rear edge of the visor 40. With this configuration, a device that supports the visor 40 when it is rotated upward or downward can be realized with a simple structure. Furthermore, as described above, one end of the support portion 50 is provided at the midpoint between the front and rear and in the center of the left and right sides on the lower surface of the flange 20, and the other end of the support portion 50 is provided at the center of the left and right sides on the rear edge of the visor 40. This configuration makes it possible to stabilize the support of the visor 40 when it is rotated upward and when it is rotated downward. The hood 1 may be configured to include multiple support parts 50. Furthermore, the support parts 50 may be positioned to the left or right of the left-right center of the flange 20 and visor 40.

[0032] The visor 40 may be configured to be detachable from the main body 10, or it may be configured as a separate component from the main body 10. In this case, the visor 40 may be configured to be detachable from the main body 10 by other fastening means such as snap buttons or hook-and-loop fasteners. In this case, the gusset 30 may be configured integrally with the visor 40 and as a separate component from the main body 10, or it may be configured as a separate component from the visor 40 and as an integral component from the main body 10, or it may be configured as a separate component from both the visor 40 and the main body 10.
