Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hat that will not fly off even when the wind blows, a part for the hat, and a method for processing the hat. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, various methods have been used to prevent hats from being blown off by strong winds. For example, chin straps or rubber bands are used to prevent hats from flying off when they come off. However, chin straps are not considered fashionable, so they are rarely used except for hats for infants.

[0003] On the other hand, it has also been considered to use a clamping piece that clamps the wearer's head instead of the chin strap. The hat of Patent Document 1 is shown in FIG. 7. Hat 1 is made up of a body 2 and a brim 3, and a bag portion 5 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of an opening 4 of the hat. Clamping pieces 7 that elastically deform according to the dimensions of the head are housed in this bag portion 5. The clamping piece 7 is a C-shaped elastic member as shown in FIG. 8, with both ends widened to increase the inside diameter so that the hat 1 can be placed on the head of a wearer.

[0004] The bag portion 5 is formed by sewing a cloth belt member to a ribbon 6 provided along the inner circumference of the opening 4, except for the back of the head of the main body 2, and has insertion holes 5a, 5b at both ends. The clamping piece 7 can be inserted and removed through these insertion holes 5a, 5b. The insertion holes 5a, 5b are located at positions corresponding to both ends of the clamping piece 7, and when inserted, the entire length of the clamping piece 7 is accommodated in the bag portion 5. Therefore, when putting on the hat 1, the clamping piece 7 is opened together with the bag portion 5, and the main body 2 is placed on the head; the elastic force of the clamping piece 7 lightly presses down on the wearer's head, so that the hat 1 will not fly off even if the wind blows. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3049348 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The above-mentioned conventional cap 1 that does not fly off is designed to be worn with the clamping pieces 7 spread out, and a light tightening force acts on the head while it is being worn. Therefore, the inner circumference of the opening 4 has a dimension that allows some margin so that the inner diameter becomes larger when the clamping pieces 7 inserted in the bag part 5 are spread out. In this way, the inner diameter of the covering opening 4 of the main body 2 is made with a margin for the changing outer diameter of the clamping piece 7, so that wrinkles form on the outer periphery of the covering opening 4 in the portion that does not expand in diameter integrally with the clamping piece 7. In particular, in a hat that is sized to fit loosely around the wearer's head, the length of the portion not fastened by the clamping piece 7 is long, causing wrinkles around the outer periphery of the opening 4 to be noticeable, which detracts from the fashionability of the hat.

[0007] To provide a hat that will not fly off even in a strong wind while maintaining its design and fashionability, and a component for the hat and a method for processing the hat. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The hat of the first invention comprises a hat body, a band-shaped retaining member with a plurality of insertion holes formed in the length direction and provided on the inner surface of the opening of the hat body, and a clamping piece which is rod- or plate-shaped and can be inserted into the insertion holes and elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head of a wearer of the hat to be attached to the head of the wearer, wherein the plurality of insertion holes are formed in the retaining member so as to be located in a forward region of the inner surface of the opening of the hat body that is less than half the inner peripheral dimension of the inner surface of the opening of the hat body, and when the clamping piece is inserted into the insertion hole of the retaining member, a portion of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member and the other portion of the clamping piece is exposed inside the hat body.

[0009] In the hat of the second invention, the clamping piece is U- or C-shaped with a length that is more than half and less than nine-tenths of the inner circumference dimension of the opening, and the middle portion of the clamping piece in the longitudinal direction is held by the retaining member.

[0010] The third invention relates to a hat part, comprising: a belt-shaped retaining member having a plurality of insertion holes in the length direction and attached to the inner circumferential surface of the hat opening of the hat body; and a rod- or plate-shaped clamping piece that can be inserted into the insertion holes and is elastically deformed according to the dimensions of the head of a wearer of the hat to be attached to the head of the wearer, the plurality of insertion holes being provided in the retaining member so as to be positioned in a front region of the inner circumferential surface of the hat opening of the hat body that is less than half the inner circumferential dimension of the inner circumferential surface of the hat opening, and the clamping piece is, It is C-shaped or U-shaped with both ends spaced apart, By being inserted into the insertion hole of the holding member, a portion of the clamping piece is held by the holding member, and the other portion of the clamping piece is exposed to the inside of the hat body.

[0012] No. 4 The method for processing a hat of the invention involves positioning the insertion holes of a band-shaped retaining member having a plurality of insertion holes spaced apart in the lengthwise direction in a forward region of the inner surface of the mouth of the hat that is less than half the inner peripheral dimension of the inner surface of the mouth of the hat, and attaching the retaining member to the inner peripheral surface of the mouth of the hat, and inserting a rod-shaped or plate-shaped clamping piece that elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head of a wearer of the hat and is attached to the head of the wearer through the insertion hole of the retaining member, so that a part of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member, and the other part of the clamping piece is exposed to the inside of the hat body.

[0013] No. 5 The method for processing a hat of the invention comprises the steps of: providing a band body having a predetermined length; and a sticker having a plurality of hole position marks arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction; overlapping the sticker on the band body; and forming the insertion holes along the hole position marks. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the clamping member held by the hat body via the holding member clamps the head, thereby preventing the hat body from being blown away by the wind. In particular, the front area of ​​the hat body's opening is held down by the clamping piece, so the hat is resistant to wind blowing from the front and the hat body does not float up when running. In addition, because only a portion of the clamping piece is inserted into the retaining member along the opening, even if the clamping piece and the inside circumference of the opening do not match, the appearance of the hat body is not affected by wrinkles on the outside circumference of the opening, etc. Therefore, even if the inside circumference of the opening differs, the hat can be worn without compromising its design or fashionability.

[0015] According to the second invention, more than half of the circumference of the wearer's head is surrounded by the clamping pieces, and the length of the opening where both ends of the clamping pieces face each other is smaller than the diameter of the head, so that even if a force acts on the clamping pieces due to wind, etc., the opening will not open and the clamping pieces will not come off the head. Also, because both ends of the clamping pieces are open, the inner circumference of the opening at the back of the head is not pressed against the head, reducing the uncomfortable feeling of tightness when wearing the mask.

[0016] No. 3 According to the invention, by using the holding member and the clamping piece, it is possible to create a hat that maintains fashionability and does not fly away in the wind, or to modify an existing hat.

[0017] No. 4,5 According to this invention, an existing hat can be modified to become a hat that will not fly off in the wind while still maintaining its fashionability. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0019] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 1 is an external perspective view of the hat of the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the first embodiment, Fig. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the holding member of the first embodiment, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the clamping piece. The hat 10 of the first embodiment has a brim 12 around the periphery of a hat body 11 . As shown in the bottom view of Figure 2, a band-shaped holding member 14 is provided along the inner circumferential surface of the opening 13 of the hat body 11, and a clamping piece 15 is held by this holding member 14. 1 and 2, F indicates the front of the hat 10 (the side in front of the wearer), and R indicates the rear (the side behind the wearer). With respect to a center line L1 that divides the covering opening 13 in half, the region on the F side is referred to as a front region, and the region on the R side is referred to as a rear region.

[0020] The holding member 14 is constructed by attaching both widthwise ends of a cloth belt as shown in Fig. 3 along the inner circumference of the carrying opening 13. The holding member 14 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 14a, 14b in the longitudinal direction thereof, through which the clamping pieces 15, which will be described later, can be inserted. These insertion holes 14a, 14b are located in the front region of the hat body 11. Specifically, the centers of the insertion holes 14a and 14b (center line L2 shown in FIG. 3) are aligned with the front surface (F) of the hat body 11. The holding member 14 may have a length equal to the entire circumference of the covering opening 13, or may have a length corresponding to only a part of the front region. The length of the holding member 14 is not limited as long as the insertion holes 14a and 14b are located in a front region that is half or less of the inner circumference dimension on the inner circumferential surface of the covering opening 13.

[0021] The hat 10 of the first embodiment is equipped with clamping pieces 15 that elastically deform in accordance with the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat 10. Like the conventional clamping pieces 7, the clamping pieces 15 are rod- or plate-shaped, for example, substantially C-shaped spring-like resin members. When the ends 15a and 15b corresponding to the opening of the C-shape are opened in the direction of the arrows, they elastically deform as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The overall length of the clamping piece 15 along the C-shape is equal to or greater than half and less than nine-tenths of the inner circumferential dimension of the covering opening 13. Note that the shape of the clamping piece 15 is not limited to the letter C as long as it can be elastically deformed along the outer periphery of the wearer's head. For example, the clamping piece 15 may be U-shaped or may be another shape.

[0022] In the hat 10 of this embodiment, a portion of the clamping piece 15 is held by a holding member 14 . Specifically, one end 15a of the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the holding member 14 through one insertion hole 14a formed in the holding member 14 and pulled out through the other insertion hole 14b, so that only the central portion 15c, which is the middle portion of the clamping piece 15, is held by the holding member 14, as shown in Fig. 2. Therefore, the parts of the clamping piece 15 other than the central portion 15c are exposed from the holding member 14 to the inside of the opening 13, i.e., to the inside of the hat body 11.

[0023] [Actions and Effects] When putting on the hat 10 of the first embodiment, the clamping pieces 15 are opened and placed on the head from the front, while the hat body 11 is pressed from above. The hat 10 can prevent the hat body 11 from flying away due to wind by clamping the wearer's head with the clamping pieces inside the hat body 11. In particular, the front area of ​​the hat opening 13 of the hat body 11 is held down by the clamping pieces 15, so that resistance to wind blowing from the front is strong and the hat body 11 will not float up when running.

[0024] In this hat 10, only a part (center part 15c) of the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the holding member 14 along the opening 13, so even if the clamping piece 15 and the inner circumference dimension of the opening 13 do not match, the outer circumference of the opening 13 will not wrinkle, and the appearance of the hat body 11 will not be affected. Therefore, even if the inner circumference dimension of the opening 13 is different, the hat can be worn without compromising its design or fashionability. Also, even if the clamping piece 15 and the inner circumference dimension of the opening 13 do not match, the hat body 11 will not float up and the design and fashionability will not be compromised, so the wearer can confidently choose a hat with a wide inner circumference dimension of the opening 13 that will not disrupt his or her hairstyle.

[0025] In addition, the length of the clamping pieces 15 is more than half the inner circumferential dimension of the mouth 13, and the length of the openings at both ends 15a, 15b is smaller than the diameter of the head. In other words, since both ends 15a, 15b are positioned at the back of the head, even if a force is applied to the clamping pieces 15 by wind or the like, the openings will not open and the clamping pieces 15 will not come off the head. In addition, since more than half of the head circumference is surrounded, the tightening force due to the elasticity of the clamping pieces 15 will not be concentrated in one area, and wearing the clamping pieces 15 will not cause any discomfort.

[0026] Furthermore, because the length of the clamping piece 15 is less than 9 / 10 of the inner circumference of the opening 13, the distance between end 15a and end 15b of the clamping piece 15 is maintained at the back of the head when the clamping piece 15 is placed on the head along the opening 13. Because there is an opening between both ends of the clamping piece, the inner circumference of the opening 13 is not pressed against the head at the back of the head, reducing the uncomfortable feeling of tightness when wearing the hat. In particular, if the clamping piece 15 has both ends 15a, 15b overlapping and is pressed down by the hat body 11, the pressure may be concentrated and cause pain in the back of the head, but in this embodiment, the distance between the clamping piece 15 ends 15a, 15b is maintained, so this does not happen.

[0027] [Second embodiment] FIG. 5 is a front view of a holding member 16 provided on the hat of the second embodiment. In the hat of the second embodiment, the holding member 16 is different from the holding member 14, but the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following, reference will be made to Figures 1 and 2 showing the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the holding member 14 in Figures 1 and 2 is replaced with the holding member 16.

[0028] Four insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d are formed in the holding member 16. The distance d1 between the insertion holes 16a and 16b on the left side in the figure is equal to the distance d2 between the insertion holes 16c and 16d on the right side, and the distances d1 and d2 are smaller than the distance d3 between the central insertion holes 16b and 16c.

[0029] In the second embodiment, the retaining member 16 is also provided along the inner circumference of the opening 13 of the hat body 11, and the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d are positioned in a front region that is half or less of the inner circumference of the opening 13. For example, the center of the insertion holes 16b and 16c is positioned at the front of the hat body 11. The clamping piece 15 is inserted into any two of the four insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d, and a part (middle) of the clamping piece 15 is held by the holding member 16.

[0030] [Actions and Effects] In the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the clamping piece 15 is attached to the head, so that the hat 10 is prevented from being blown away by the wind. Moreover, since only a part of the clamping piece 15 is held in place, the hat body 11 does not wrinkle, and the fashionability can be maintained, just like in the first embodiment.

[0031] Furthermore, since the number of the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d is large, the holding length of the clamping piece 15 can be adjusted depending on which insertion hole the clamping piece 15 is inserted into. For example, when the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the insertion holes 16a and 16d at both ends, the holding length for holding the clamping piece 15 is the longest, and when the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the insertion holes 16a and 16b, the holding length is the shortest. When the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the central insertion holes 16b and 16c, the holding length is slightly longer than the shortest distance, and when the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the insertion holes 16a and 16c, the holding length is slightly longer than that. In this way, the holding length of the clamping piece 15 can be adjusted depending on the combination of the insertion holes through which the clamping piece 15 is inserted.

[0032] In this way, by adjusting the holding length of the clamping piece 15, it is possible to adjust the pressing force on the hat body 11. For example, by inserting the clamping piece 15 through the insertion holes 16a, 16d at both ends to increase the holding length, a long range of the opening 13 is pressed, and the hat body 11 can be more securely held. At this time, the clamping piece 15 may be inserted only through the insertion holes 16a, 16d at both ends, or may be inserted through all of the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d so as to sew the holding member 16.

[0033] Furthermore, when there is a large difference between the dimensions and shapes of the clamping pieces 15 and the opening 13, shortening the holding length of the clamping pieces 15 can prevent wrinkles from forming on the outer periphery of the hat body 11. Therefore, it is preferable to select the holding length of the clamping pieces 15 based on the balance between the size and shape of the opening 13 and the clamping pieces 15. In this embodiment, the centers of the insertion holes 16b, 16c are positioned at the front and the arrangement is symmetrical, so that by selectively using the pair of insertion holes 16b, 16c which has a shorter holding length or the pair of insertion holes 16a, 16d which has a longer holding length, the hat body 11 can be held in a balanced manner. Furthermore, the intervals between the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d of the holding member 16 are not particularly limited and can be set according to the dimensions of the opening 13. For example, in the case of an adult M-size hat, it is preferable that the intervals d1 and d2 shown in Fig. 5 are about 3 cm, and the interval d3 is about 4 cm.

[0034] In the first and second embodiments, the hat body 11 includes the holding members 14, 16 and the clamping piece 15. However, the holding members 14, 16 and the clamping piece 15 may be prepared as hat parts. By using the above hat parts, hats of various designs can be processed into hats that do not fly away in the wind. Furthermore, hat wearers can also process existing hats using the above processing method.

[0035] [Third embodiment] FIG. 6 is a plan view of a hat part for forming a holding member of the third embodiment. The hat part is configured as a set of a cloth band body 19 which is attached to the hat body to form a holding member, a seal 17, and a clamping piece 15 (see FIG. 3). As shown in Fig. 6(A), the sticker 17 is a paper strip attached to a release paper 18 by an adhesive layer on the back side, and has a number of hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d displayed at a predetermined interval. These hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d correspond to insertion holes through which the clamping piece 15 can be inserted. The hole position marks are set based on an appropriate holding length of the clamping piece for a hat body of general dimensions. For example, the interval between the hole position marks 17a, 17d can be for an L size, and the interval between the hole position marks 17b, 17c can be for an S size.

[0036] When creating a retaining member for a hat, the sticker 17 is peeled off from the release paper 18 and attached to the band body 19 as shown in Fig. 6(B). After that, insertion holes are formed in the band body 19 together with the sticker 17 along the hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d using a cutter or the like from above the sticker 17. At this time, insertion holes corresponding to all of the hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d may be opened, or only necessary holes may be opened according to the size of the wearer's head, etc. Once the insertion holes are formed in the strap body 19, the strap body 19 can be placed along the inner circumference of the opening 13 of the hat body 11 to serve as a retaining member. With the seal 17, a suitable insertion hole can be easily formed in the band body 19. In addition, a sweat-stop ribbon that is already provided on the inner peripheral surface of the hat body may be used in place of the band body for the retaining member, and in that case, by using the above-mentioned seal 17, anyone can open an insertion hole at an appropriate position.

[0037] The clamping piece 15 as a hat part can be made detachable from the holding member so that it can be used for multiple hats without being prepared for each hat. However, the clamping piece 15 may be fixed to the hat body 11 via the holding member. [Industrial Applicability]

[0038] It can prevent various hats from being blown away by the wind without compromising their fashionability. [Explanation of symbols]
