[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings showing preferred embodiments of the present invention. In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 1 to 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a pair of hat item holders fixed to the left and right sides of a hat 2, which hold items 3 such as sunglasses, a mask, accessories, etc. The left-right direction refers to the left-right direction in FIG. 1, and the up-down direction refers to the up-down direction in FIG.

[0011] This item holder 1 for hats is composed of a flexible or elastic, partially strip-shaped holder body 4, one fastener 5 provided at one end (right end) of the holder body 4, a fixing part 6 provided near the one fastener 5 and fixed to the hat by means of sewing, welding, adhesive or the like, an item holding part 7 extending from the fixing part 6 to the opposite side (left side) of the one end in the left-right direction, and the other fastener 8 provided at the other end of the holder body and detachably connected to the one fastener 5.

[0012] The holder body 4 is made of a stretchable, elastic or flexible material such as leather, synthetic leather, rubber or resin, preferably a material with high friction such as rubber, and in this embodiment is roughly Z-shaped or inverted Z-shaped when viewed from the front, with the holder body 4 of the hat item holder 1 fixed to the right side of the hat 2 being formed in a roughly inverted Z shape, and the holder body 4 of the hat item holder 1 fixed to the left side being formed in a roughly Z shape. In other words, the pair of hat item holders 1 are formed symmetrically. In this embodiment, a cap accessory holder 1 that is fixed to the right side of the cap 2 as viewed from the front will be described.

[0013] One fastener 5, such as a snap button, a spring hook, a hook-and-loop fastener, or a magnet, is fixed to one end of the holder body 4 (the right side in FIG. 1) by adhesive bonding, sewing, welding, or the like. This one fastener 5 is designed to engage with the other fastener 8, which will be described later. In this embodiment, a male spring hook member is used. It is also desirable that this one fastener 5 be fixed to the hat 2.

[0014] The other end of one fastener 5 (the left side in FIG. 1) is provided with a fixing part 6 that is fixed to the hat 2. This fixing part 6 is a part that is fixedly attached to the hat 2 by gluing, sewing, welding, or the like, and in this embodiment, the fixing part 6 is fixed to the hat 2 by sewing.

[0015] A pair of fixing parts 6 are provided on the upper and lower (horizontal) parts of the roughly inverted Z-shaped (or roughly Z-shaped) part of the holder main body 4. The space between the upper and lower fixing parts 6 is in roughly tight contact with the side of the hat 2, but is not fixed to the hat 2, so a gap is formed where an item 3 such as sunglasses temples can be inserted and held. In other words, a gap-like second item holding part 9 is formed between the fixing parts 6 into which an item can be inserted.

[0016] By making a portion of the holder main body 4 in this manner approximately inverted Z-shape or approximately Z-shape, when an item 3 is inserted into the second item holding portion 9, the contact area between the item 3 and the second item holding portion 9 is increased, allowing the item 3 to be more securely held by the second item holding portion 9. In addition, the contact area of ​​the item holding portion 7 that overlaps with the approximately inverted Z-shape or approximately Z-shape portion is also increased, allowing the item 3 to be more securely held by the item holding portion 7.

[0017] The other end of the fixed part 6 (left side in FIG. 1 ) is provided with an article holding part 7 and the other fastener 8, which form a free end. The article holding part 7 is provided on the other end (left side) of the fixed part 6 so as to be continuous with the fixed part 6, and in this embodiment, is formed in a slightly oblique shape that slopes slightly upward to the left. The other fastener 8 is provided on the end of the article holding part 7, and the other fastener 8 is positioned so that it is at approximately the same height as the one fastener 5 when the lower end of the fixed part 6 is positioned horizontally. The length of the article holding part 7 is desirably such that when the article holding part 7 is folded back from the other end (left side) of the fixed part 6 and the one fastener 5 and the other fastener 8 are engaged, the article holding part 7 is in approximately close contact with the surface of the hat 2 and the holder body 4. By providing the one fastener 5 and the other fastener 8 in this manner, the article 3 can be firmly clamped by the article holding part 7. In addition, if an elastic material such as rubber is used for the holder body 4, the dimensions may be such that one fastener 5 and the other fastener 8 engage (connect) when the item holding portion 7 is folded back and slightly stretched.

[0018] The other fastener 8 is of the same type as the one fastener, and in this embodiment, a female spring fastener is used. In addition, it is desirable that a tongue-shaped gripping portion 10 is formed near the other fastener 8 to be gripped when releasing the connection between the one fastener 5 and the other fastener 8. In this embodiment, the gripping portion 10 is formed near the other fastener 8 in a substantially triangular shape and equipped with a knurled non-slip surface.

[0019] Because the holder main body 4 is made of an elastic or flexible material, by bending the item holding part 7 and connecting the other fastener 8 to one fastener 5, the item holding part 7 comes into close contact with the hat 2 or the fixing part 6, and various items such as parts of the item 3 (such as sunglasses temples, mask strings, or accessory chains) can be clamped and held between the item holding part 7 and the hat 2 or the fixing part 6. Preferably, a resin or rubber with elasticity and high frictional force is used, making it possible to hold thick items, and also to hold multiple items with the item holding part 7.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since it has an item holding portion 7 and a second item holding portion 9, a pair of hat item holders 1 can hold multiple different items 3, such as holding a mask string with the item holding portion 7 and holding sunglasses temples with the second item holding portion 9, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.

[0021] In this way, multiple different items can be held by the item holding portion 7 and the second item holding portion 9, respectively, so that while holding one item 3 (for example, a mask string) (while wearing the mask), it is possible to release the holding state of the other item 3 (for example, sunglasses temples), pick up the sunglasses, and put them on without removing the mask.

[0022] [Different modes for carrying out the invention] Next, different embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 8. In describing these different embodiments for carrying out the present invention, the same components as those in the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0023] In the second form for carrying out the present invention shown in Figures 6 to 8, the main difference from the first form for carrying out the present invention is that the holder main body 4A has a portion formed in an approximately L-shape or an approximately inverted L-shape, and fixing portions 6A are formed on part of the vertical and horizontal portions of the approximately L-shape or approximately inverted L-shape, and the vertical portion between these fixing portions 6A is made into a second item holding portion 9A.Even with this type of item holder 1A for hats, the same effects as those of the first form for carrying out the present invention can be obtained.

[0024] In this embodiment, one of the fixing parts 6A is provided on a part of the vertical part of the inverted L-shaped part, but one of the fasteners 5 may be fixed to the hat 2 to form one fixing part 6A. In other words, the part between one of the fasteners 5 and the fixing part 6A provided on the vertical part of the approximately L-shaped or approximately inverted L-shaped part may be the second article holding part 9A.

[0025] In the embodiments of the present invention, the holder body is generally Z-shaped or L-shaped, but it may be of other shapes, for example, a linear holder body, with a plurality of fixing parts at a predetermined interval on one end side, forming a second article holding part. Also, the holder body may be formed with a single fixing part, and an article may be held by only the article holding part without forming a second article holding part. [Industrial Applicability]

[0026] The present invention finds application in the industry of manufacturing article holders for hats. [Explanation of symbols]
