Mesh Base Wig Structure for Stable Wear and Wrinkle Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Partial wigs, or 'closure caps,' tend to shift and wrinkle on the user's head when worn for extended periods, requiring frequent adjustments to maintain a desirable appearance.
Innovation Solution
A wig apparatus featuring a mesh base with a band member and artificial hair portions, where the mesh base wraps around the band member and includes a hair coupling region to secure the wig to the head, preventing wrinkles and allowing customization of artificial hair placement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a partial wig (closure cap) is designed to cover only part of the user's head, then the wig provides targeted hair coverage and styling options, but the wig tends to shift and wrinkle on the user's head when worn for extended periods
Solution Approach 1:
The wig is divided into distinct functional zones: a band member for securing to the head, a mesh base for hair attachment, and artificial hair portions for coverage. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while working together to prevent shifting and wrinkling.
Solution Approach 2:
The mesh base is configured to wrap around the band member, creating a nested structure where the mesh base envelops the band member. This nested configuration ensures that the mesh base remains taut and secure against the head, preventing wrinkles and maintaining stability during extended wear.
2Quantity of substance
If artificial hair is attached to a mesh base that is secured to the head, then the wig provides hair coverage, but the wig requires frequent attention to maintain a desirable appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The mesh base is pre-configured to wrap around the band member in a specific configuration that maintains tension and prevents wrinkling. This preliminary structural arrangement ensures that the artificial hair remains smoothly positioned throughout extended wear, reducing the need for frequent adjustments and maintenance.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the mesh base is secured tightly to prevent shifting, then the wig maintains stable position, but the artificial hair placement becomes less customizable
Solution Approach 1:
The wig features localized attachment points for artificial hair on the mesh base, allowing customization in specific regions while maintaining overall structural stability. The band member provides a stable foundation, while the mesh base allows flexible hair placement options in different areas to suit user preferences.

AI summary
A wig apparatus is provided. The wig apparatus includes: a mesh base comprising an inner surface, an outer surface, a fold portion and a terminal edge portion; a band member comprising a first surface, a second surface, a top edge and a bottom edge, wherein the first surface is coupled to the inner surface of the mesh base and wherein the second surface is coupled to the inner surface of the mesh base; a first portion of artificial hair coupled to at least the outer surface of the mesh base adjacent to the first surface; and a second portion of artificial hair coupled to the outer surface of the mesh base adjacent to the second surface.
