Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0020] ≪Overview≫ Hereinafter, the present embodiment and a plurality of modified examples will be described. When describing components having the same or similar functions as those of the components of the present embodiment in the plurality of modified examples, note that the same reference numerals as those of the components of the present embodiment are used, and the description is appropriately omitted or incorporated by reference.
[0021] ≪This Embodiment≫ Hereinafter, the functions, configurations, a method of setting a pair of ornaments 30A, and effects of the hat 10 with ornaments (see FIG. 1) according to the present embodiment will be described.
[0022] <Functions and Configurations of the Hat with Ornaments> FIG. 1 is a front view (a photograph taken from the front side) of the hat 10 with ornaments according to the present embodiment. The hat 10 with ornaments according to the present embodiment includes, as an example, a hat 20 and a pair of ornaments 30A. The hat 10 with ornaments according to the present embodiment is obtained by attaching, as an example, a pair of ornaments 30A having a motif of a pair of animal horns to a general hat 20 distributed on the market.
[0023] 〔Hat〕 The hat 20 has, as an example, a crown 22 composed of a plurality of panels, and eyelets 24 are formed in each panel. Each eyelet 24 functions as a ventilation hole. In the example of FIG. 1, the number of the plurality of panels constituting the crown 22 is six.
[0024] 〔A Pair of Ornaments or Ornaments〕 As shown in FIG. 1, the pair of ornaments 30A includes an ornament 30AR and an ornament 30AL. The ornament 30AR is attached to the right side of the crown 22 when the hat 10 with ornaments is viewed from the front side. The ornament 30AL is attached to the left side of the crown 22 when the hat 10 with ornaments is viewed from the front side. Here, although the attachment positions and attachment postures of the ornament 30AR and the ornament 30AL are different, their respective configurations as single units are equivalent.
[0025] FIG. 2 is a perspective view (photo viewed from the front side) of the ornament 30AR, FIG. 3 is a perspective view (photo viewed from the base side) of the main body constituting the ornament 30AR, and FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the hat 10 with the ornament. The ornament 30AR includes an ornament main body 40 (an example of the main body) and a fixture 50, and is detachable from the hat 20. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the ornament main body 40 is disposed on the outer surface of the crown 22 of the hat 20 and is fixed to the outer surface by the fixture 50, thereby being attached to the hat 20. Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the ornament 30AR will be described, but it should be noted that the description content is also applicable to the ornament 30AL.
[0026] (Ornament main body) As shown in FIG. 1, the ornament main body 40 (and a pair of ornament main bodies 40, 40) is disposed on the outer surface of the crown 22 of the hat 20, thereby having a function of decorating the hat 20. In this embodiment, as an example, it is a decoration with a motif of a pair of horns of an animal. As shown in FIG. 4, the ornament main body 40 includes a cotton-like body 42, a storage bag 44, a sealing plate 46, and an outer plate 48. The cotton-like body 42 is a member that is cotton-like and deformable in a lump state. In FIG. 4, the compressed cotton-like body 42 is accommodated in the region surrounded by the storage bag 44 and the sealing plate 46. As an example, the storage bag 44 is made of cloth and forms a three-dimensional body in a conical shape that is eccentric when the cotton-like body 42 is accommodated inside (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 4). The storage bag 44 has an opening OP for allowing the cotton-like body 42 to pass through when the cotton-like body 42 is accommodated inside. As an example, the sealing plate 46 is a resin disk such as polycarbonate and has a female screw 461 penetrating through the center thereof. As shown in FIG. 4, the sealing plate 46 is disposed inside the storage bag 44 and seals the opening OP of the storage bag 44. As shown in Fig. 3, the outer plate 48 is, for example, a disc made of fiber (felt). Also, as shown in Fig. 4, the outer plate 48 has a through-hole 48TH (an example of a hole) at its center for passing through the shaft 521 of the male screw 52 described later. The diameter of the through-hole 48TH is, for example, larger (preferably) than the maximum diameter of the female screw 461. The outer plate 48 is more flexible than the sealing plate 46. The outer plate 48 is overlapped on the outer surface of the sealing plate 46, and the entire peripheral edge portion on its outer peripheral side and the sealing plate 46 sandwich the opening-side end portion OE of the storage bag 44. Therefore, a gap is formed between the central portion of the outer plate 48 (the portion other than the opening-side end portion OE) and the central portion of the sealing plate 46 as long as the outer plate 48 does not bend toward the sealing plate 46 while facing each other. The above is the description of each element of the ornament body 40. Here, as a supplement from an overall perspective, the ornament body 40 is formed asymmetrically with respect to the central axis CA of the female screw 461 as shown in Fig. 4. Also, as shown in Fig. 4, the opening-side end portion OE of the storage bag 44 is bent and doubled.
[0027] (Fastener) The fastener 50 has a function of fixing the ornament body 40 to the outer surface of the crown 22 of the cap 20. As shown in Fig. 4, the fastener 50 has a male screw 52 and a mounting plate 54. The mounting plate 54 is, for example, a disc made of resin such as polycarbonate, and has a hole at its center for fitting the head 522 of the male screw 52 and the root-side portion of the shaft 521. Then, the mounting plate 54 fits the head 522 and a part of the shaft 521 into the hole and projects the male screw 52 to one end side in the plate thickness direction. As shown in Fig. 4, the tightening end of the male screw 52 is the female screw 461 of the sealing plate 46. When the male screw 52 passes through the eyelet 24 (and sandwiches the crown 22) and is tightened to the female screw 461, the fastener 50 fixes the ornament body 40 to the outer surface of the crown 22 of the cap 20. Here, the diameter of the mounting plate 54 is set to be approximately equal to the diameters of the sealing plate 46 and the outer plate 48 or slightly smaller than the diameters of the sealing plate 46 and the outer plate 48. Further, when viewed from the thickness direction of the mounting plate 54 in a state where the male screw 52 is tightened to the female screw 461 to fix the ornament body 40 to the outer surface of the crown 22, the mounting plate 54 is disposed without protruding from the outer plate 48 and overlaps with the opening-side end portion OE of the storage bag 44.
[0028] The above is the description of the function and configuration of the ornamented cap 10.
[0029] <Setting method> Next, a method for setting a pair of ornaments 30A will be described. First, the user inserts the tip of the shaft 521 of the male screw 52 into the eyelet 24 on the right side surface of the inner surface of the crown 22 of the cap 20. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the shaft 521 protrudes through the eyelet 24 from the outer surface of the crown 22. Next, for example, while holding the mounting plate 54 and the cap 20 of the fixture 50 with the left hand, the user holds the ornament body 40 with the right hand and inserts the tip of the shaft 521 into the through hole 48TH of the outer plate 48. Then, either the mounting plate 54 or the ornament body 40 is rotated several times with respect to the other to temporarily tighten the male screw 52 and the female screw 461. Next, with the ornament body 40 in a defined posture with respect to the crown 22 (refer to FIG. 1 as an example), while pinching the base portion (around the sealing plate 46) of the ornament body 40 with the right hand, the user pinches the peripheral surface of the mounting plate 54 with the left hand (functioning as a handle for rotating the male screw 52 around the axis) and rotates the mounting plate 54 until the male screw 52 is screwed tight. The above operations are performed on the ornament 30AR and the ornament 30AL. When each of the pair of ornaments 30A (the ornament 30AR and the ornament 30AL) is detachably attached with the male screw 52 penetrating through each of the positions of the pair of eyelets 24 that are symmetric with respect to the cap 20, the setting of the ornamented cap 10 shown in FIG. 1 is completed.
[0030] The above is an explanation of the method for setting a pair of ornaments 30A.
[0031] <Effect> Next, the effects of the present embodiment will be described.
[0032] 〔First effect〕 The ornament 30AR (and the ornament 30AL) of the present embodiment has a configuration as shown in FIG. 4. And at the time of setting, while the central portion of the outer plate 48 is pushed by the crown 22 and protrudes toward the sealing plate 46, the entire peripheral edge portion of the outer peripheral side of the outer plate 48 is pressed against the sealing plate 46 and the mounting plate 54. Therefore, even when the ornament 30AR is attached to the cap 20, the shape of the crown 22 of the cap 20 (convex from the inner surface side toward the outer surface side) is maintained. Moreover, the pressure from the fixture 50 is applied only to the entire peripheral edge portion of the outer peripheral side of the outer plate 48 in the ornament main body 40. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is difficult for the ornament main body 40 to rotate with respect to the crown 22 and the shape of the crown 22 is easily maintained.
[0033] 〔Second effect〕 In addition, the ornament 30AR (and the ornament 30AL) of the present embodiment does not adopt a configuration in which the sealing plate 46 directly contacts the outer surface of the crown 22 and pressurizes the outer surface. As shown in FIG. 4, the sealing plate 46 of the present embodiment pressurizes the outer surface of the crown 22 while sandwiching the opening-side end portion OE of the accommodation bag 44 and the entire peripheral edge portion of the outer peripheral side of the outer plate 52 that is more flexible than the sealing plate 46 between the crown 22. Therefore, when the ornament 30AR (and the ornament 30AL) is removed from the cap 20, that is, when the user deforms the cap 10 with the ornament into the normal cap 20 for use, it is difficult for the pressure marks on the outer peripheral edge outside the sealing plate 46 to remain at the portion where the ornament 30AR (and the ornament 30AL) was attached on the outer surface of the crown 22.
[0034] 〔Third effect〕 The eyelets 24 of the generally circulated hat 20 cannot engage a screw larger than the M2 standard screw. Therefore, for example, it is unexpectedly difficult to perform a screwing operation by fitting a driver or the like into the groove of the screw head. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the mounting plate 54 of the fixture 50 is a main configuration for achieving the aforementioned first effect. In fact, as described in the aforementioned setting method, it also functions as a handle for rotating the male screw 52 around its axis. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform screwing using a small driver or the like. Further, since the fixture 50 itself can be provided with the function of a driver, it is also easy to remove the ornament 30AR.
[0035] 〔Fourth effect〕 The smaller the size of the screw, the unexpectedly difficult it is to screw the male screw into the female screw. In this regard, in the case of the present embodiment, the tip portion of the male screw 52 is not directly inserted into the female screw 461 of the sealing plate 46, but is first inserted into the through hole 48TH of the outer plate 48 and the tip portion is positioned, and then guided by the female screw 461 (see FIG. 4). Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the outer plate 48 having the through hole 48TH is overlapped on the outside of the sealing plate 46 having the female screw 461, the setability is easy.
[0036] 〔Fifth effect〕 In the present embodiment, when viewed from the thickness direction, the mounting plate 54 is arranged without protruding from the outer plate 48 in a state where the male screw 52 is tightened to the female screw 461 and the ornament main body 40 is fixed to the outer surface of the crown 22, and overlaps with the opening side end portion OE of the storage bag 44. Therefore, the ornament 30AR (and the ornament 30AL) has excellent aesthetics at the root portion of the crown 22 (the base portion of the ornament main body 40) in the ornament main body 40 in a state where the ornament main body 40 is fixed to the crown 22.
[0037] The above is the description of the effects of the present embodiment.
[0038] ≪Multiple modification examples≫ Next, for a plurality of modified examples, only the parts different from the case of the above-described present embodiment will be described.
[0039] <Modified Example 1> FIG. 6 is a perspective view (photo viewed from the base side) of the ornament body 40B constituting the ornamented cap 10B (a pair of ornaments 30B (ornaments 30BR, 30BL)) of Modified Example 1. The ornaments 30BR and 30BL of Modified Example 1 differ from the case of the present embodiment in that the outer plate 48 (see FIG. 3) of the present embodiment is changed to an outer plate 48B. Specifically, the outer plate 48B is a resin plate material, and an uneven surface along its circumferential direction is formed on the surface facing the outer surface of the crown 22, that is, the surface that contacts the outer surface of the crown 22 when attached to the cap 20. Further, this uneven surface bites into the crown 22 while elastically deforming in contact with the crown 22 at the time of attachment. Therefore, in a state where the ornamented cap 10B is attached to the cap 20, the ornaments 30BR and 30BL of Modified Example 1 are more difficult to rotate in the circumferential direction than the ornaments 30AR and 30AL of the above-described present embodiment.
[0040] <Modified Example 2> FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view of the ornamented cap 10C of Modified Example 2. The ornamented cap 10C (a pair of ornaments 30C (ornaments 30CR, 30CL)) of Modified Example 2 differs from the case of the present embodiment in (1) that the sealing plate 46 (see FIG. 3) of the present embodiment is changed to a sealing plate 46C, and (2) that the male screw 52 (see FIG. 3) of the present embodiment is changed to a magnetic pin 52C.
[0041] (Sealing plate 46C) The sealing plate 46C is such that the female screw 461 of the sealing plate 46 is changed to a mere through-hole 461C, and a permanent magnet 462C is attached to the back side (the side opposite to the insertion port side of the magnetic pin 52C) of the through-hole 461C.
[0042] (Magnetic pin 52C) The magnetic pin 52C has generally the same outer shape as the male screw 52, but the shaft 521 is changed to a cylinder 521C having magnetism.
[0043] In the case of this embodiment, the fixture 50 is screwed to the ornament main body 40, so that the ornament main body 40 is fixed to the crown 22. On the other hand, in the case of Modification 2, the magnetic pin 52C of the fixture 50 and the permanent magnet 462C are attracted by magnetic force, so that the ornament main body 40 is fixed to the crown 22. That is, although the types of forces used for fixing are different between the two, the overall configuration is basically the same. Therefore, it can be said that Modification 2 has the effects according to this embodiment. In addition, in the case of Modification 2, the magnetic pin 52C may be a permanent magnet and the permanent magnet 462C may be a magnetic body, or both may be permanent magnets having a polar relationship of attracting each other.
[0044] <Other Modifications> For example, the mounting plate 54 may be set to be more easily elastically deformed than the sealing plate 46 and less easily elastically deformed than the outer plate 48, so that the mounting plate 54 is deformed convexly with its center facing the crown 22 side during fixing. In addition, in this embodiment, the opening-side end portion OE of the storage bag 44 is bent to be double (see FIG. 4), but it may not be bent or may be bent three or more times. In addition, in this embodiment and the modification, the mounting plate 54 is assumed to be a disc, but it may be hexagonal, octagonal or other polygons. It may also be a composite shape combining a polygon and a circle.
[0045] The above is the description of a plurality of modifications.
