Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, in the case of the technique described in Patent Document 1 above, as shown in FIG. 8, in order to hold the head and ears 102 of the wearer 100 with the straight belt-like band 1020 sewn to the periphery of the hat 1000, there is a problem that the band 1020 slips up along the ear 102 during the operation during work, and the hat comes off, or the ear 102 and hair are exposed. This is due to the fact that the surface of the ear 102 is relatively smooth and the band 1020 is likely to slip, and since the ear 102 protrudes from the head, the ear 102 makes point contact with the band 1020 and is likely to slip.

[0005] That is, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a work hat that reliably covers the head and ears of the wearer and prevents slippage from the part that covers the ears.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The work hat of the present invention is a work hat that covers the head and ears of the wearer, and includes a main body portion that covers the head and ears of the wearer, and is attached to the lower peripheral edge of the main body portion, Its front and back surfaces are exposed a strip-shaped elastic front edge cloth that holds the forehead of the wearer, and is attached to the lower peripheral edge of the main body portion and is connected to both longitudinal ends of the front edge cloth while Its front and back surfaces are exposed a strip-shaped elastic rear edge cloth that holds the part that passes below both ears of the wearer and reaches the neck, and the rear edge cloth It is formed by folding at least two pieces of the rear edge-trimmed fabric material, and has a bent portion that bends so that the upper long side is recessed in the vicinity of the lower side of the ear so as to fit under the ear of the wearer the bending part is formed by a seam joined at a position below the ear of the rear edge-trimmed fabric, such that the upper long side is shorter than the lower long side .

[0007] According to this work hat, by having a bent portion where the upper long side 4 of the rear edge cloth is recessed, the bent portion fits so as to surround the lower side of the ear from the outside. Even if the work hat tries to shift and rise along the ear during the operation, the bent portion can catch on the lower side of the ear to prevent the shift and rise.

[0008] Also According to this work hat, the bent portion can be formed from the fabric without waste and with high productivity.

[0009] In the work hat of the present invention, a bulging portion may be formed inside the bent portion. bulging in the thickness direction of the rear edge-trimmed fabric When putting on the work hat while pulling the rear edge cloth downward so that the bent portion comes under the ear during wearing, the rear edge cloth moves upward by the restoring force of the cloth. At this time, the in the thickness direction bulging portion inside the bent portion catches on the jaw line (recess) under the ear, and the deviation and rise of the rear edge cloth can be further prevented.

[0010] In the work hat of the present invention, the angle formed by the lower long side of the rear edge cloth in the bent portion may be 135 to 170 degrees. When this angle is between 135° and 170°, it is more preferable because the upper long side 4 of the bent portion is more likely to be caught under the ear. The angle is the angle in the unloaded state of the rear edge-taking cloth without wearing a hat.

Advantages of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, a work hat can be obtained that reliably covers the head and ears of the wearer and prevents displacement and lifting from the part that covers the ears.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, a work hat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a side view showing the worn state of a work hat according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the work hat, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method for forming darts on the rear edge-taking cloth.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the work hat 10 is formed in a cap shape that covers the head and ears 102 of the wearer 100, and the face and the lower side of the neck 104 of the wearer 100 are exposed. The work hat 10 includes a substantially dome-shaped main body 8 that covers the head and ears 102 of the wearer 100, and a strip-shaped elastic front edge cloth 2 and a rear edge cloth 4 that are respectively attached to the lower peripheral edge 8d of the main body 8. The work hat 10 is formed by sewing the front edge cloth 2 and the rear edge cloth 4 to the main body 8 made of a woven or knitted fabric. The main body 8 is also formed by sewing a plurality of fabrics. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a bulging portion 8p is integrally formed on the rear head side of the main body 8, and long hair such as that of a female wearer can be accommodated within the bulging portion 8p. However, the bulging portion 8p may be absent, and the outer surface on the rear head side of the main body 8 may be flat as shown by the dashed-dotted line in FIG. 2.

[0015] The lower peripheral edge 8d of the main body 8 extends substantially horizontally from the forehead of the wearer 100 to in front of the ears 102, then hangs down along the ears 102, and reaches the neck (nape) 104 while slightly descending backward below the ears 102. The front edge cloth 2 extends from the forehead of the wearer 100 to in front of the ears 102, and both longitudinal ends 2e of itself face each other in front of the ears 102. The front edge cloth 2 has elasticity and holds the forehead of the wearer 100. The rear edge cloth 4 holds the part that reaches the neck 104 while passing below both ears 102 of the wearer 100 while being connected to both longitudinal ends 2e of the front edge cloth 2. Here, in this example, both longitudinal ends 4e of the rear edge cloth 4 overlap on both longitudinal ends 2e of the front edge cloth 2 respectively. That the rear edge cloth 4 is "connected" to both longitudinal ends 2e of the front edge cloth 2 means that in addition to the case where the two cloths 2 and 4 overlap like this, the respective ends of the two cloths 2 and 4 may be butted against each other and joined by sewing or the like.

[0016] Next, the characteristic parts of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the rear edge cloth 4 has a bending portion 4v in the vicinity of the lower side of the ears 102 of the wearer 100, where the upper long side 4L1 bends so as to be concave (downward). Specifically, in this example, the bent portion 4v is formed by a seam (dart) 4d joined at a position below the ear 102 of the rear edge binding cloth 4 such that the upper long side 4L1 is shorter than the lower long side 4L2.

[0017] In this way, by having the bent portion 4v where the upper long side 4L1 of the rear edge binding cloth 4 bends so as to be concave, the bent portion 4v fits so as to surround the lower side of the ear 102 from the outside. Even if the work hat 10 tries to shift upward along the ear 102 due to the movement during work, the bent portion 4v can be caught under the ear 102 to prevent the shift upward. On the other hand, if there is no bent portion 4v, as shown in FIG. 8, the rear edge binding cloth 4 slides upward along the relatively slippery surface of the ear 102, making it difficult to prevent the shift upward.

[0018] Next, referring to FIG. 3, an example of a method for forming the dart 4d will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the rear edge binding cloth material 4x is folded in half along the longitudinal direction, with the folded side being the lower long side 4L2. Then, it is folded in half with a fold line 4f parallel to the width direction, and stitched with a stitching line 4m1 obliquely (diagonally upward in FIG. 3(a)) from the upper long side 4L1 behind the fold line 4f toward the intersection of the lower long side 4L2 and the fold line 4f. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the rear edge binding cloth material 4x is opened with the stitching line 4m1 in between, and as shown in FIG. 3(c), the triangular portion surrounded by the stitching line 4m1 and the fold line 4f is folded backward and folded down. Then, as shown in FIG. 3(d), when stitched with a stitching line 4m2 along the inside of the fold line 4f, the dart 4d is completed.

[0019] Here, by stitching the triangular portion surrounded by the stitching line 4m1 and the fold line 4f with the stitching line 4m2, it becomes flush with the rear edge binding cloth 4 in front of the dart 4d. For this reason, the thickness of the rear edge binding cloth 4 in the dart 4d is two layers on the front side portion 4s of the rear edge binding cloth 4 and four layers on the back side portion 4p, and the above-described back side portion (bulging portion) 4p bulges and is formed inside the dart 4d (on the wearer side).

[0020] Thus, when the bulging portion 4p is formed inside the dart 4d, the following effects are obtained. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, when the work hat 10 is put on while pulling the rear edge reinforcing cloth 4 downward as shown by the thick arrow so that the bending portion 4v comes under the ear 102 during wearing, the rear edge reinforcing cloth 4 moves upward by the restoring force of the cloth. At this time, the bulging portion 4p inside the dart 4d is caught by the line (concavity) of the jaw 103 under the ear, and the displacement upward of the rear edge reinforcing cloth 4 can be further prevented. Also, as shown in FIG. 3(d), when the angle θ formed by the lower long side 4L2 of the rear edge reinforcing cloth 4 at the bending portion 4v is 135 to 170 degrees, the upper long side 4L1 of the bending portion 4v is more likely to be caught under the ear 102, which is more preferable. Note that the angle θ is the angle of the rear edge reinforcing cloth 4 without wearing the hat 10 in the unloaded state.

[0021] The method of forming the dart is not limited to FIG. 3, and for example, it may be as shown in FIG. 4. First, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the rear edge reinforcing cloth material 4x is folded in half with a fold line 4f parallel to the width direction, and stitches 4m3, 4m3 are sewn obliquely (from the upper side to the lower left and from the lower piece to the upper left in FIG. 4(a)) toward the intersection of the line (to be the lower long side) 4L2 extending longitudinally from the upper and lower sides (to be the upper long side) 4L1 behind the fold line 4f to the center in the width direction. Next, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the rear edge reinforcing cloth material 4x is opened with the stitch 4m3 in between, and as shown in FIG. 4(c), it is folded with the line (to be the lower long side) 4L2. Then, as shown in FIG. 4(e), the triangular portion sandwiched between the fold line 4f and the stitch 4m3 is folded inwards, and the whole is sewn near the stitch 4m3 appearing on the front side to complete the dart 4d.

[0022] Here, as shown in FIG. 4(d), the thickness of the rear edge reinforcing cloth 4 in the dart 4d is three layers (the top layer + the layer below it + the layer below it) on the front side portion 4t2 of the rear edge reinforcing cloth 4, and three layers (the bottom layer + the layer above it + the layer above it) on the back side portion 4t1. Compared with the dart in FIG. 3, the bulge of the inner (wearer side) back side portion (bulging portion) 4t1 of the dart 4d is small. Therefore, the dart shown in FIG. 3, in which the bulge of the bulging portion 4p is large, is more preferable.

[0023] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that the present invention extends to various modifications and equivalents included in the spirit and scope of the present invention. In the present invention, "attachment" and "joining" can be performed by sewing, adhesion with an adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive, welding, or the like. Also in the formation of darts, the joining method is not limited. All or part of the hat or the edge cloth can be formed by whole garment or molding.

[0024] The shape of the bent portion is not limited either. For example, in addition to the V-shape formed by one dart as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, as shown in FIG. 5, two or more darts 40d1 and 40d2 may be provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the upper long side 40L1 side may be recessed as two bent portions 40v1 and 40v2.

[0025] When the darts 40d1 and 40d2 shown in FIG. 5 are provided, as shown in FIG. 6, when the front dart 40d1 is worn in alignment with the ear 102, since the bent portions 40v1 and 40v2 are in two stages, among the rear edge cloth 40, the rear back portion 40B having the rear dart 40d2 at both ends faces substantially horizontally along the neck muscles. For this reason, there is an effect that the rear back portion 40B firmly holds the neck muscles and the hat 10B is difficult to move. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, although the fabric is wasted, a fabric cut in advance so that the recess of the bent portion on the upper long side 4L1 side becomes a curved portion 4r may be used to make the recess on the upper long side 4L1 side into a curve. Also, the method of forming the seam (dart) is not limited, and the seam forming the recess is not limited to the dart, and two pieces of fabric may be joined. As the work hat, in addition to a cap, it can also be made into a hair net.
