Abstract
Description
A hat with an auxiliary string attached to the hat strap
[0001] The present invention relates to a hat having an auxiliary string connected to a hat strap, and more specifically, to a hat having an auxiliary string connected to a hat strap that supports the brim of the hat to prevent it from flipping over in the wind, and also supports an angle adjusted to both sides of the user's face to block wind and ultraviolet rays, thereby protecting the face, and creating a fashion according to the user's taste.
[0002] In general, a hat is a general term for something worn on the head, and is used to protect the head from cold, heat, dust, etc., or for decorative purposes. Hats with brims are used to block sunlight, rain, etc., and to protect the user's eyes and face from ultraviolet rays.
[0003] The above hat refers to a hat that is made up of a cap body (aka crown) worn on the user's head and a brim (aka brim).
[0004] As an example of a prior art for adjusting the angle of a hat brim, Patent Registration No. 10-2311158 (Title: Hat brim with a soft iron piece for adjusting the angle of a curve) is disclosed. Looking at the configuration, it is composed of a soft iron piece and a core material, and a rectangular bending fixing part is formed at the center of the four sides of the soft iron piece, and the core material is formed of a synthetic resin to form a gentle curve in the left-right direction, and a compression part is formed on the lower surface with the same depth as the thickness of the soft iron piece to accommodate the soft iron piece and surround it with an outer covering fabric to finish the exterior.
[0005] However, in the prior art, the brim is made by wrapping the outer fabric around a synthetic resin core having a certain thickness, like a baseball cap, so that even if a soft iron piece is installed inside the brim, the brim does not bend due to the weight of the soft iron piece. However, if the material of the hat is made of a flexible fiber, the brim may bend arbitrarily due to the soft iron piece and cannot maintain the angle. In addition, the built-in soft iron piece protrudes to the outside due to the thin fiber, which hinders the aesthetic feel felt in the fashion style, making it unusable.
[0006] The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and provides a hat having an auxiliary strap that can adjust the angle of the brim so that the brim can be lowered in the direction of the face as intended by the user to maintain a constant angle with the face in order to support the brim from being turned over by the wind and protect the facial skin from ultraviolet rays or wind.
[0007] The present invention is configured as follows to achieve the above object. That is, the present invention is characterized by comprising a cap body to be worn on a user's head, a hat having a brim on the lower portion of the cap body, a hat fixing strap having both ends fixed to both sides of the lower portion of the cap body to prevent the hat from being arbitrarily removed by the wind by pressing it against the user's chin, and an auxiliary strap having a predetermined length, one end of which is connected to each of both sides of the hat fixing strap and the other end of which is connected to the hat brim, to prevent the hat brim from being flipped over by the wind by the connected supporting force, and a brim angle adjusting member that is provided to adjust the length of the auxiliary strap so as to adjust the angle at which the hat brim comes down to the user's face and then fix the state.
[0008] In addition, the above-mentioned angle adjustment device is composed of a first fixing device, an adjustment device, a second fixing device, and a connecting device.
[0009] The first fixing member is a part where an auxiliary strap is fixed to a hat strap or a hat brim according to an embodiment, and a plurality of adjusting members are provided on the auxiliary strap so as to adjust the length of the auxiliary strap, and the second fixing member is configured such that the adjusting member of the auxiliary strap is fixed by a connecting member, and the connecting member is configured such that after adjusting the angle, the adjusting member for adjusting the angle is connected to the second fixing member.
[0010] The above adjustment device is configured to optionally use a ring, a Velcro fastener, a snap button, etc.
[0011] The above connecting member is configured to allow the optional use of clips, Velcro fasteners, snap buttons, etc. When Velcro fasteners, snap buttons, etc. are optionally used on the above adjusting member and connecting member, they can be fixed in a male-female manner.
[0012] As described above, according to the present invention, by connecting an auxiliary string to a hat fixing string, when the hat brim is about to flip over due to wind, the auxiliary string resists with support force, thereby preventing the hat brim from flipping over.
[0013] Additionally, by increasing or decreasing the length of the auxiliary strap using the adjustment device, the angle between the face and the brim of the hat can be changed.
[0014] In addition, the brim can be fixed at an angle by adjusting the length of the auxiliary strap and maintained in that state, thereby protecting the user's eyes and face from UV rays and wind and allowing the user to express their own fashion sense.

[0023] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0024] The hat (10) of the present invention is largely composed of a cap body (100) and a hat brim (200), as shown in the attached drawing 1, and is composed of a hat fixing strap (300) and an auxiliary strap (400).
[0025] In addition, as shown in the attached drawings 3 and 8, a brim angle adjustment device (500) is further configured to adjust and fix the angle of the brim (200) by adjusting the length of the auxiliary string (400).
[0026] The above cap body (100) is formed in a convex shape so that it can be worn on the user's head, as shown in the attached drawing 1, and a number of holes can be formed to allow ventilation through the user's head.
[0027] The above hat brim (200) is configured to block sunlight or ultraviolet rays from shining on the user's face, thereby preventing glare or skin trouble. The hat brim (200) is formed over a relatively wide area on the outer periphery of the cap body (100), so that it can effectively block sunlight and ultraviolet rays.
[0028] Here, the cap body (100) and the hat brim (200) are formed of a textile material.
[0029] The above hat fixing strap (300) is configured to prevent the hat (10) worn by the user from being taken off due to external force such as wind, and the upper end is fixed to the lower end of the cap body (100) and the inner side of the hat brim (200), and the lower end, which passes through the tying means (310), is tightened by the tying means (310) and fixed to the user's chin.
[0030] The above auxiliary string (400) is configured to support the brim (200) to prevent it from being turned over when exposed to the wind, and to maintain the angle of the brim (200). A first embodiment of adjusting and maintaining the angle of the brim (200) is as follows.
[0031] The above auxiliary string (400) is formed to a predetermined length and is placed on each side of the hat fixing string (300).
[0032] In addition, one end of the auxiliary string (400) is connected to the hat fixing string (300), and the other end is connected to a portion adjacent to the lower edge of the hat brim (200), thereby preventing the hat brim (200) from turning over in the wind.
[0033] Accordingly, the first embodiment can provide convenience by preventing the hat (10) from being blown off by the wind by the hat fixing strap (300) and preventing the hat brim (200) from being turned over by the auxiliary strap (400), so that the user does not need to make uncomfortable actions such as holding the hat (10) with his or her hand.
[0034] The above brim angle adjustment device (500) is configured to allow the angle at which both sides of the brim (200) come down toward the user's face to be selected and used by fixing the auxiliary strap (400) in a state where the length is adjusted, and further provides a second embodiment and a third embodiment for adjusting and maintaining the angle of the brim (200).
[0035] First, the angle adjustment device (500) constituting the second embodiment is configured with a first fixing device (511) that fixes the lower end of the auxiliary strap (400) to the hat fixing straps (300) arranged on both sides, as shown in the attached drawings, FIGS. 2 to 4.
[0036] The above first fixing member (511) is configured to attach and fix the auxiliary string (400) to the hat fixing string (300), and sewing or other methods may be used.
[0037] In addition, a plurality of adjusting members (512) are provided at regular intervals on one side of the auxiliary string (400), and are configured to be connected to the lower end of a connecting member (514) to be described later.
[0038] The above-described adjusting member (512) of the second embodiment is formed on one side of the auxiliary strap (400), and any one of a ring shape formed by tying it in a circular shape, a Velcro fastener or a snap button that is fixed in a male-female combination manner, etc. can be selectively used.
[0039] In addition, a second fixing member (513) is formed adjacent to the lower edge of the hat brim (200).
[0040] The above second fixing member (513) can be formed in a ring shape so as to be connected to the upper part of the connecting member (514) to be described later on the lower part of the mother shaft.
[0041] In addition, it is configured with a connecting member (514) that is connected at the top with the second fixing member (513) and at the bottom with one of the first adjusting members (512) provided in number to adjust the length of the auxiliary string (400) and fix the angle of the hat brim (200).
[0042] The above connecting member (514) may be a clip-shaped “S” shape, or a snap button or Velcro fastener formed in a male-female combination manner on one side in a belt shape may be optionally used.
[0043] That is, when the adjustment member (512) and the second fixing member (513) are ring-shaped, the connecting member (514) can be formed in a clip shape, or when the adjustment member (512) and the second fixing member (513) are Velcro fasteners or snap buttons, the connecting member (514) is also configured to be installed and fixed in the same combination configuration, and this configuration is also applied to the third embodiment described below.
[0044] Accordingly, by connecting the lower part of the connecting part (514) to one of the adjusting parts (512) formed on the auxiliary strap (400) and connecting the upper part of the connecting part (514) to the second fixing part (513), the angle at which the brim (200) descends toward the user's face can be selected by adjusting the length of the auxiliary strap (400), and the angle can be maintained by fixing it.
[0045] Next, the brim angle adjustment device (500) constituting the third embodiment is configured with a first fixing member (521) formed as a hole through each side of the brim (200), as shown in the attached drawings 5 to 8.
[0046] The above first fixing member (521) is formed with an inner diameter through which the auxiliary string (400) can enter and pass or exit in a detachable manner.
[0047] In addition, a plurality of adjusting members (522) are provided at regular intervals on one side of the auxiliary strap (400) that is detachable from the first fixing member (521).
[0048] The adjusting member (522) of the third embodiment may be either a Velcro fastener or a snap button that is fixed in a male-female combination manner.
[0049] In addition, a hook (523) is configured to be fixed to the upper end of the auxiliary strap (400) and to be fixed by being hooked to the first fixing member (521).
[0050] The above-mentioned hook (523) is formed with a width relatively larger than the outer diameter of the first fixing member (521) so that it can be hooked on the upper outer surface of the first fixing member (521) formed by a through hole.
[0051] In addition, a second fixing member (524) is formed on both sides of the hat fixing strap (300) to be fixed to one of the adjusting members (522) provided in the auxiliary strap (400).
[0052] The above second fixing member (524) is configured in the same manner as the Velcro fastener or snap button that constitutes the adjusting member (522), and is fixed in a male-female combination manner.
[0053] Here, the auxiliary strap (400) of the third embodiment is detachable from the installation hole (521) as shown in the attached drawing 6, thereby providing convenience for the user to choose whether or not to attach the auxiliary strap (400) to the hat (10) according to his / her preference.
[0054] Accordingly, the present invention has the effect of preventing the brim (200) from being flipped over in the wind by connecting the brim (200) and the brim fixing strap (300) with the auxiliary strap (400) as in the first embodiment, or has the effect of adjusting the length of the auxiliary strap (400) to adjust the angle of the brim (200) and stably fix it at the same time as in the second and third embodiments, and further, in the third embodiment, the auxiliary strap (400) is configured to be detachable from the hat (10), so that the user can select whether or not to install the auxiliary strap (400).
[0055] The present invention, configured as described above, can provide a hat in which the brim (200) of a hat (10) worn by the user is not turned over by the wind due to the support of the auxiliary strap (400) and can maintain the adjusted current angle, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of having to wrap the hat (10) around the user, and a hat in which the auxiliary strap is connected to a useful hat fixing strap that can block ultraviolet rays from directly reaching the skin when both sides of the hat brim (200) are at an angle close to the face.
[0056] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented with various modifications within the scope permitted by the technical idea of the present invention.
