Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, the heating cap according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as necessary to make each component visible.

[0011] [Heating Cap 100] The heating cap 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. First, the overall heating cap 100 will be described. However, the heating cap 100 does not necessarily have all the configurations described below, and some configurations may be appropriately omitted.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the heating cap 100 according to this embodiment. The heating cap 100 is a cap that can heat hair by being worn on the head. As shown in FIG. 1, the heating cap 100 includes a cap portion 1 and a hose portion (tubular portion) 2.

[0013] The cap portion 1 is a member that is worn on the user's head and covers the hair. The cap portion 1 is a cloth member. The cap portion 1 is, for example, a hair cap. The inside of the cap portion 1 is formed to be hollow. The cap portion 1 has a cap opening 11 and a cap main body portion 12.

[0014] In this embodiment, with reference to the user wearing the cap portion, the front side is defined as the front side L1 and the rear side is defined as the rear side L2, and the front-rear direction L is defined. Further, with reference to the state where the user wears the cap portion 1, the upper side of the user is defined as the upper side H1 and the lower side of the user is defined as the lower side H2, and the vertical direction H is defined.

[0015] The cap opening 11 is a member into which the user's head is inserted toward the upper side H1. The cap opening 11 constitutes the lower end of the cap portion 1. A cap opening 11a is formed in the cap opening 11. The cap opening 11a is formed in a circular shape in plan view.

[0016] The cap opening 11 has a constriction portion 11b. The constriction portion 11b is a member for adjusting the diameter of the cap opening 11a. The constriction portion 11b is provided on the outer periphery of the cap opening 11a. The constriction portion 11b is, for example, rubber surrounding the cap opening 11a. Note that the constriction portion 11b may be a string sewn to the outer periphery of the cap opening 11a. By having the constriction portion 11b, the cap opening 11a has an expandable and contractible configuration.

[0017] The cap main body portion 12 is a member that covers the hair of the user on whom the cap portion 1 is mounted. The cap main body portion 12 is a dome-shaped member that bulges upward H1 from the outer periphery 11c of the cap opening portion 11. Specifically, the cap main body portion 12 has a shape in which the inner diameter increases as it progresses upward H1 from the lower end, and the inner diameter decreases as it progresses upward H1 after the inner diameter reaches the peak value. The cap main body portion 12 is formed in a circular shape in plan view. The cap opening portion 11 and the cap main body portion 12 are integrally formed.

[0018] A ventilation opening 12a is formed in the side surface 12c of the cap main body portion 12. The ventilation opening 12a is an opening for sending gas into the inside of the cap portion 1. The ventilation opening 12a is formed at a distance H in the vertical direction from the cap opening 11a. The cap opening 11a communicates the inside and the outside of the cap portion 1. The cap opening 11a is formed in a circular shape in plan view.

[0019] The ventilation opening 12a is disposed at a position facing the forehead of the user when the cap portion 1 is mounted on the user's head. That is, the ventilation opening 12a is disposed on the front side when the cap portion 1 is mounted on the user's head.

[0020] The cap main body portion 12 may be configured to be able to accommodate a large amount of hair at the rear portion 12b on the side opposite to the ventilation opening 12a. For example, the rear portion 12b may have a shape that bulges rearward. Since the rear portion 12b is disposed on the rear side when the cap portion 1 is mounted on the user's head, having this configuration makes it easy for users with long hair at the back to wear.

[0021] The hose portion 2 is a member that feeds gas into the inside of the cap portion 1. The hose portion 2 is a cylindrical member. The hose portion 2 is a member made of cloth. The rear end (the other end) 2q of the hose portion 2 communicates with the ventilation opening 12a. The hose portion 2 communicates with the inside of the cap portion 1 via the ventilation opening 12a. The hose portion 2 protrudes from the portion of the side surface 12c of the cap portion 1 where the ventilation opening 12a is formed. Note that the direction in which the hose portion 2 protrudes from the side surface 12c is not limited. The hose portion 2 may protrude forward, may protrude obliquely downward in front, or may protrude obliquely upward in front.

[0022] The front end (one end) 2p of the hose portion 2 is open. The front end 2p of the hose portion 2 is an opening through which gas can be fed into the inside of the hose portion 2. The front end 2p of the hose portion 2 is formed in a circular shape. The hose portion 2 is a member through which the gas fed from the front end 2p can pass toward the inside of the cap portion 1.

[0023] The inner diameter of the hose portion 2 increases from the rear end 2q to the front end 2p. The hose portion 2 is formed in a frustum shape of a cone and flares from the rear end 2q toward the front end 2p. In plan view, the hose portion 2 is formed in a trapezoidal shape with the front end 2p as the long side and the rear end 2q as the short side.

[0024] The inner diameter W1 of the front end 2p of the hose portion 2 is from 38 mm to 83 mm. The length W2 from the front end 2p to the rear end 2q of the hose portion 2 is about 550 mm.

[0025] The hose portion 2 has an adjustment portion 3 for adjusting the inner diameter W1 of the front end 2p. The adjustment portion 3 is provided on the outer peripheral edge 2a of the front end 2p of the hose portion 2. The adjustment portion 3 has an engaging portion 31 and an engaged portion 32 that can engage with the engaging portion 31.

[0026] In the present embodiment, the radial direction of the hose portion 2 is defined as the radial direction R, the outer side in the radial direction is defined as the outer side R1, and the inner side in the radial direction is defined as the inner side R2. Further, the circumferential direction of the hose portion 2 is defined as the circumferential direction C.

[0027] The engaging portion 31 is a member that protrudes outward R1 from the outer peripheral edge 2a of the front end 2p. The engaging portion 31 is a member formed in a sheet shape. The engaging portion 31 has, for example, a male surface 31a that is a hook-shaped hook-and-loop fastener. The engaged portion 32 extends in the circumferential direction C at the outer peripheral edge 2a of the front end 2p. The engaged portion 32 has, for example, a female surface 32a that is a loop-shaped hook-and-loop fastener.

[0028] The cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 are integrally formed. For example, the rear end 2q of the hose portion 2 is sewn to the outer periphery of the ventilation opening 12a of the cap portion 1. The cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 are formed including a polyester fabric. The cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 are formed including a brown fabric. The thickness of the fabric forming the cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 is about 130 g / m 2 (GSM).

[0029] Next, the fabric for forming the heating cap 100 will be described.

[0030] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the fabric forming the cap portion 1. The cap portion 1 is formed of a circular fabric as shown in FIG. 2. The diameter V1 of the fabric forming the cap portion 1 is about 630 mm.

[0031] FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the fabric forming the hose portion 2. Specifically, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the fabric forming the hose portion 2 in a state of being crushed in the radial direction R. The hose portion 2 is formed of a trapezoidal fabric. In the fabric forming the hose portion 2 shown in FIG. 3, the length V2 of the lower base, which is the long side, is about 145 mm, the length V3 of the upper base, which is the short side, is about 95 mm, and the height V4 in the front-rear direction L is about 550 mm.

[0032] Figure 4 is a plan view showing the fabric forming the engaging portion 31. As shown in Figure 4, the engaging portion 31 is formed by a rectangular fabric. The length V5 of the short side of the fabric forming the engaging portion 31 is about 30 mm, and the length V6 of the long side is about 60 mm.

[0033] (Operation of the heating cap 100) Next, the operation of the heating cap 100 will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 7.

[0034] Figure 5 is a plan view showing the adjusting portion 3. Figure 6 is a plan view showing the adjusting portion 3, showing a state where the engaging portion 31 and the engaged portion 32 are engaged.

[0035] The user can adjust the inner diameter W1 of the front end 2p of the hose portion 2 by adjusting the position where the male surface 31a is engaged with the female surface 32a in the adjusting portion 3. For example, the closer the male surface 31a is engaged to a position close to the connection point between the outer peripheral edge 2a and the engaging portion 31 of the female surface 32a, the larger the circumference of the front end 2p becomes, and the inner diameter W1 can be increased. Also, the farther the male surface 31a is engaged from the connection point between the outer peripheral edge 2a and the engaging portion 31 of the female surface 32a, the smaller the circumference of the front end 2p becomes, and the inner diameter W1 can be decreased.

[0036] Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the state of using the heating cap 100. The heating cap 100 is worn on the user's head by inserting the head upward H1 with respect to the cap opening 11a. At this time, the ventilation opening 12a is disposed at a position facing the user's forehead, and the hose portion 2 is disposed on the front side L1 of the user. The user covers the cap portion 1 up to a position covering the hairline of the front hair. Also, the user covers the cap portion 1 up to a position covering the hairline of the ruffled and back hair.

[0037] The user uses the heating cap 100 with the blower 200 attached to the front end 2p of the hose part 2. The blower 200 is, for example, a dryer. The blower 200 is attached to the front end 2p with the air outlet 201 from which gas is sent out communicating with the inside of the hose part 2. By wrapping the outer periphery of the air outlet 201 with the front end 2p, the blower 200 is attached to the front end 2p. At this time, the inner diameter W1 of the front end 2p is adjusted by the adjustment part 3 so that the inner diameter W1 matches the diameter of the air outlet 201.

[0038] After attaching the blower 200 to the front end 2p, when the blower 200 is started, the gas sent out from the air outlet 201 is sent into the hose part 2 from the front end 2p of the hose part 2, passes through the inside of the hose part 2 from the front side L1 to the rear side L2, and is sent into the inside of the cap part 1. At this time, since hot air is sent out from the blower 200, the inside of the cap part 1 is warmed and the hair is heated. The hot air sent into the inside of the cap part 1 spreads to the details inside the cap part 1. Therefore, the inside of the cap part 1 is warmed as a whole, and it is possible to warm even the details of the hair such as the hairline and the teased part.

[0039] Also, when using the heating cap 100, it is preferable that the blower 200 is arranged on the front side L1 of the user. Since the blower 200 is arranged on the front side L1 of the user, the user can operate the blower 200 while heating the hair. For example, the air volume of the blower 200 can be adjusted, or the blowing by the blower 200 can be temporarily stopped. In the heating cap 100, since the hose part 2 is arranged on the front side L1 of the user, even if the blower 200 is arranged on the front side L1 of the user, the hose part 2 is suppressed from being twisted, and the gas easily passes through the inside of the hose part 2.

[0040] The warming cap 100 is effectively used, for example, after using a herbal dye containing henna. After applying a herbal dye containing henna to the hair, it is known that the coloring and dyeing effects are improved by warming the entire hair while moisturizing it. For example, after applying a herbal dye containing henna to the hair, the coloring and dyeing effects are improved by warming the hair with a wrap around the entire hair. At this time, by warming the hair using the warming cap 100, it is possible to warm even the details such as the hairline and the teased part, so that the hair can be stably dyed down to the details. Note that the use of the warming cap 100 is not limited. For example, the warming cap 100 may be used when drying the hair. Also, by warming the hair using the warming cap 100 during a hair treatment, the penetration of the hair treatment material is promoted. Further, the warming cap 100 may be used when blowing air over the entire hair for the purpose of removing dirt from the scalp and pores in scalp care.

[0041] When the warming cap 100 is used after using a herbal dye containing henna, since the ventilation opening 12a is arranged at a position facing the forehead, hot air is likely to hit the forehead. Therefore, the forehead is likely to warm up, and the forehead can be dyed more stably. Users of herbal dyes containing henna tend to be more concerned about the dyeing condition of the hair on the forehead that can be confirmed in the mirror. Therefore, by being able to dye the forehead more stably, the users of herbal dyes containing henna are likely to be satisfied with the finish.

[0042] According to the heating cap 100 according to the present embodiment, a cap portion 1 includes a cap opening 11 into which the head is inserted upward toward H1, and a cap main body portion 12 that is dome-shaped and bulges upward toward H1 from the outer periphery 11c of the cap opening 11 and has a ventilation opening 12a formed in a side surface 12c. A hose portion (tubular portion) 2 has a front end (one end) 2p that is open and a rear end (the other end) 2q that communicates with the ventilation opening 12a. When the cap portion 1 is attached to the head, the ventilation opening 12a is arranged at a position facing the forehead, so that the details of the hair can be sufficiently warmed. In addition, since the hose portion 2 is prevented from being twisted when the blower 200 attached to the heating cap 100 is arranged on the front side L1 of the user, the heating cap 100 is easy to use.

[0043] According to the heating cap 100 according to the present embodiment, the hose portion (tubular portion) 2 has a configuration having an adjustment portion 3 capable of adjusting the inner diameter W1 of the front end (one end) 2p. Therefore, the diameter of the blower attached to the heating cap 100 is not limited. Therefore, the heating cap 100 is easy to use.

[0044] According to the heating cap 100 according to the present embodiment, the adjustment portion 3 has a sheet-like engaging portion 31 provided on the outer peripheral edge 2a of the front end (one end) 2p, and an engaged portion 32 that can engage with the engaging portion 31 and extends in the circumferential direction C on the outer peripheral edge 2a. By having such a configuration, the inner diameter W1 of the front end 2p can be effectively adjusted.

[0045] According to the heating cap 100 according to the present embodiment, the inner diameter of the hose portion (tubular portion) 2 increases as it advances from the rear end (the other end) 2q to the front end (one end) 2p. Thus, the inner diameter W1 of the front end 2p of the hose portion 2 can be made large while maintaining a small inner diameter of the rear end 2q of the hose portion 2, which is the connection portion with the cap portion 1.

[0046] According to the heating cap 100 according to this embodiment, since the length W2 from the front end (one end) 2p to the rear end (the other end) 2q of the hose portion (cylindrical portion) 2 is about 550 mm, the blower 200 attached to the heating cap 100 is arranged at the position of the user's hand. Therefore, the user can easily operate the blower 200 while using the heating cap 100. Therefore, the heating cap 100 is easy to use.

[0047] According to the heating cap 100 according to this embodiment, since the inner diameter W1 of the front end (one end) 2p is configured to be 38 mm to 83 mm, the front end 2p is configured to be easily attachable with various blowers having different air outlets. Therefore, the heating cap 100 is easy to use.

[0048] According to the heating cap 100 according to this embodiment, since the cap portion 1 and the hose portion (cylindrical portion) 2 are formed to include polyester, it is difficult for heat to escape from the inside to the outside of the cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2. Therefore, the inside of the cap portion 1 is easily heated. Further, since the polyester fabric has heat resistance, it is suitable as a material for the cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 into which hot air is sent. Since it is difficult for the herb dye containing henna to penetrate into the polyester fabric, the cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 are not easily soiled even if they are used to warm the entire hair after applying the herb dye containing henna to the hair.

[0049] According to the heating cap 100 according to this embodiment, since the cap portion 1 and the hose portion (cylindrical portion) 2 are formed to include a brown fabric, even if the herb dye containing henna adheres when used to warm the entire hair after applying the herb dye containing henna to the hair, it is not conspicuous. Further, since the cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 are a color close to the hair color, even if the heating cap 100 is worn on the user's head, it is not conspicuous. Therefore, the heating cap 100 has good design.

[0050] According to the heating cap 100 according to this embodiment, the thickness of the fabric forming the cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 is about 130 g / m 2 (GSM), which is a fabric thickness that makes it easy to attach the cap portion 1 to the head or attach the blower 200 to the front end 2p, while also being a fabric thickness that makes it difficult for heat to escape from the inside of the cap portion 1 and the hose portion 2 to the outside. Therefore, the heating cap 100 is easy to use.

[0051] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings.
