Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to an inner cap for a wig that is attached to the head of a wig wearer before putting on the wig to stably hold the wig in place. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the demand for wigs (full-head wigs) has been increasing. For example, some people wear wigs after losing all or part of their hair as a side effect of anti-cancer drug treatment, and some wear wigs as a fashion statement. However, wigs tend to slip when worn on a head without natural hair, and when worn on a head with remaining natural hair, the wig tends to float and the fit becomes poor. For this reason, it is recommended that wig wearers first put on a wig inner cap before putting on the wig.

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes a support cap for a full-head wig that is worn on the head before putting on the wig to prevent it from slipping, and is characterized by comprising a cap body made of a tubular net that is stretchable and can be passed all the way from the head to the neck, or a bag-like net that is stretchable and can be put on the head, and a strip-shaped non-slip sheet portion that is coated around the entire periphery of the base end side of the cap body with a rubber material or urethane material that has stretchability, adhesion, and anti-slip properties, and the contour shape of the non-slip sheet portion is formed to be approximately the same shape as the hairline.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-162936 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the head size of the wearer trying to wear a full-head wig support cap (wig inner cap) such as that described in Patent Document 1 varies from wearer to wearer. For example, even if inner caps are available in several sizes, such as S, M, and L, they do not fit perfectly. Therefore, in order to ensure a good fit and prevent slippage when worn, a smaller inner cap is used, taking advantage of the elasticity of the material. However, if worn in this state for a long period of time, the head feels tight and becomes uncomfortable to wear, which is a problem. On the other hand, custom-making a wig inner cap to fit the wearer's head size is very costly.

[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an inner cap for a wig that improves the fit when the wig wearer puts it on their head before putting on the wig. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention is an inner cap for a wig that is attached to the head of a person wearing a wig before putting on the wig, to stably hold the wig in place. a substantially hemispherical cap body made of a stretchable material; an adjuster portion disposed on the rear outer side of the peripheral edge of the cap body, for adjusting the length of the peripheral edge of the cap body in stages; It has. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an inner cap for a wig that improves the fit when the wig wearer puts it on their head before putting on the wig. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2]1 is a schematic diagram showing the external structure of a wig inner cap according to one embodiment of the present invention, viewed obliquely from above and in front; [Figure 3] 1 is a schematic diagram showing the external structure of an inner cap for a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the front diagonally below. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Examples of the external structure of a wig inner cap according to the present invention are shown in Figures 1-3 (Figure 1: View from the rear diagonally upward; Figure 2: View from the front diagonally upward; Figure 3: View from the front diagonally downward). The wig inner cap 1 shown in Figures 1-3 includes a cap body made up of a cap left member 2a, a cap right member 2b, a cap front member 2c, and a cap rear member 2d. The cap body includes a left elastic member 4a and a right elastic member 4b extending from the left and right sides of the periphery toward the rear of the cap body, with a left hook 5a and a right hook 5b connected to their rear ends, respectively, and an adjuster consisting of a fastening portion (rear elastic member 4d and seam 6d) that hooks and secures the hooks. This wig inner cap 1 can improve the fit of the wig when worn by a wearer before putting the wig on.

[0011] The cap body has an approximately hemispherical shape that closely resembles the shape of the wearer's head so that it can be worn on the wearer's head. Note that "approximately hemispherical" does not only mean a perfect hemispherical shape, but also includes shapes close to it, as long as it can be worn on the wearer's head. The cap body is formed of a stretchable material so that it fits snugly on the wearer's head when worn. Examples of materials that can be used to form the cap body include plant fibers such as cotton, linen, and cotton linen; animal fibers such as silk, wool, and cashmere; and chemical fibers such as polyester, rayon, nylon, acrylic, and urethane. Among these, cotton is preferred for its comfortable fit.

[0012] Because the cap body has a three-dimensional, roughly hemispherical shape, it is usually constructed by connecting multiple (e.g., 3 to 6) components. The cap body of the wig inner cap 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is constructed by connecting a front cap component 2c, which covers the front side of the wearer's head, and a rear cap component 2d, which covers the rear side of the wearer's head, in front and behind the front component 2c. Connected to the left side of the front component 2c is a left cap component 2a, which covers the left side of the wearer's head, and connected to the right side is a right cap component 2b, which covers the right side of the wearer's head. The left cap component 2a and the right cap component 2b are preferably semicircular, and the front cap component 2c and the rear cap component 2d are preferably rectangular (square or oblong), trapezoidal, or hourglass-shaped with concave sides of the rectangle or trapezoid.

[0013] The cap body is preferably formed by sewing the cap left side member 2a, the cap right side member 2b, the cap front side member 2c, and the cap rear side member 2d together using a sewing method (for example, a blind stitch) that makes the seams invisible from the inside of the cap body. In this way, when the wig inner cap 1 is worn on the wearer's head, the seams do not come into contact with the wearer's scalp, reducing any discomfort felt when wearing the cap. Similarly, when other members are sewn to the cap body, it is preferable that they are sewn using a sewing method (for example, a blind stitch) that makes the seams invisible from the inside of the cap body.

[0014] The cap front member 2c is preferably skin-colored since it is placed near the hairline of the wig's front hair, while the cap left member 2a, cap right member 2b, and cap rear member 2d are preferably black since they are placed in areas where there is a lot of wig hair. Furthermore, since the scalp is generally easily visible at the whorl near the top of the head, it is preferable that the skin-colored cap front member 2c covers the top of the wearer's head. This makes the wig look natural when worn, and makes it difficult for third parties to tell that a wig is being worn.

[0015] The adjuster adjusts the length of the periphery of the cap body in stages. In the wig inner cap 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a left-side tubular member 3a and a right-side tubular member 3b are formed on the left and right sides of the periphery of the cap body, respectively. A left-side stretchable member 4a and a right-side stretchable member 4b are disposed inside the left-side tubular member 3a and the right-side tubular member 3b and extend from the periphery of the cap body (inside the left-side tubular member 3a and the right-side tubular member 3b) toward the rear. The front ends of the left-side stretchable member 4a and the right-side stretchable member 4b are connected near the front ends of the left-side tubular member 3a and the right-side tubular member 3b, respectively (not shown). The rear ends of the left-side stretchable member 4a and the right-side stretchable member 4b are attached to a left hook 5a and a right hook 5b, respectively, protruding from the rear ends of the left-side tubular member 3a and the right-side tubular member 3b. A plurality of fastening portions are formed on the outer rear side of the periphery of the cap body to hook and fasten the left hook 5a and the right hook 5b. This allows the positions at which the left hook 5a and the right hook 5b are hooked and fixed to be changed, making it possible to adjust the length of the periphery of the cap body in stages.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the left hook 5a and the right hook 5b are preferably flat. A flat shape minimizes the irregularities of the wig inner cap 1, improving the fit. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear stretchable member 4d located on the rear outer side of the periphery of the cap body and the multiple seams 6d formed by vertically sewing the rear stretchable member 4d to the rear outer side of the cap body can function as fastening parts for hooking and securing the left hook 5a and the right hook 5b. That is, with the left stretchable member 4a or the right stretchable member 4b slightly stretched, the left hook 5a or the right hook 5b can be hooked onto the rear stretchable member 4d located between the multiple seams 6d, and the position can be fixed with the seam 6d using the restoring force of the left stretchable member 4a or the right stretchable member 4b. This allows the length of the left stretchable member 4a or the right stretchable member 4b to be changed, thereby allowing the length of the periphery of the cap body to be adjusted in stages. The number of stitches 6d may be set as needed, but from the viewpoint of sewing the rear stretchable member 4d to the outside of the rear of the cap body and hooking the left hook 5a and the right hook 5b to adjust the length of the periphery of the cap body in stages, a minimum of four stitches (two stitches for the left hook 5a and two stitches for the right hook 5b) are sufficient, and usually 6 to 12 stitches are preferable (9 stitches in Figure 1).

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the wig inner cap 1 preferably has a front elastic member 4c attached to the front of the periphery of the cap body. By attaching an elastic member (at least one selected from the group consisting of the left elastic member 4a, the right elastic member 4b, the front elastic member 4c, and the rear elastic member 4d) to the periphery of the cap body in this way, the fit of the wig inner cap 1 is improved. Elastic cords, for example, can be used as the elastic member. The width of the elastic member can be set appropriately as needed, but by making the widths of the left elastic member 4a and the right elastic member 4b wider than the widths of the front elastic member 4c and the rear elastic member 4d, the feeling of tightness when wearing the wig inner cap 1 can be reduced.

[0018] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, a rear anti-slip member 7d is preferably provided on the inside of the rear part of the periphery of the cap body. Also, a front anti-slip member (not shown) is preferably provided on the inside of the front part of the periphery of the cap body (for example, the inside of the front elastic member 4c). By providing an anti-slip member on the inside of the periphery of the cap body (particularly the front and / or rear parts) in this way, the wig inner cap 1 is less likely to slip. For example, a silicone rubber film or seal can be used as the anti-slip member.

[0019] The inner cap for wigs according to the present invention as described above can be attached to the head of the wig wearer before putting on the wig, thereby enabling the wig to be held in place stably and improving the fit. [Explanation of symbols]
