Definitions
- the present invention relates to hair retention bonnets.
- the present invention relates to hair retention bonnets used for hygienic purposes in catering and retail establishments, factories and the like, and other establishments in which hygiene is of importance such as hospitals, clean rooms and other health service establishments.
- Such garments are generally made from woven, nonwoven or knitted fabrics, all of which have some holes inherent in their construction (eg due to needle holes or the random alignment of spun fibres).
- mechanical forces generated by the movement of hair against the surface of the garment caused either by the normal movement of the wearer or as a result of the wearer touching or scratching their hair, push hairs through the garment. This creates a risk of contamination, as these hairs may fall and contaminate the workplace.
- garments worn for this purpose are generally disposed of and replaced on a regular basis. It is therefore important that such garments can be produced at low cost and in large numbers. It is further preferable that the garments can be cleaned and reused a number of times before disposal, and that they can be recycled after use. As a workplace will generally stock large amounts of the garments for use by the workforce, it is also preferable that one size provides a suitable fit for all users, eliminating the need to store multiple sizes.
- headwear fits the user well as ill-fitting headwear is likely to be more uncomfortable, reducing compliance by workers with regulations covering the use of headwear. Ill-fitting headwear may also be less effective in retaining the hair.
- hairnets which are conventionally made from a nylon, polyester or polypropylene mesh. Hairnets are typically woven on conventional net looms, or knitted.
- a common method of manufacture of hairnets is to produce a continuous band of fabric, with individual hairnets being made by crimping the fabric at two points (cinch points) corresponding to the front and back of the hairnet, and cutting the hairnet so formed from the continuous band of fabric. Hairnets are lightweight and cool to wear, but due to the open mesh structure they are generally poor at retaining hair, which protrudes through the fabric, allowing it to escape and risking contamination.
- Hats and caps are also worn as hair retention garments, and are commonly produced in a so-called cut/make/trim process. Typically, this involves cutting a blank from a suitable fabric, forming the blank into the desired shape, fastening it in that shape (eg by stitching or adhesive) and then trimming to give the final product. Hats produced by this method tend to be stiff and of a fixed shape, and do not conform to the user's head. This results in a hat which can be
- WO 2012/085576 relates to hats for use in hygienic environments.
- Said hats are formed from a single piece of fabric comprising parallel regions of fabric, said hat comprising a headband and at least one intermediate region forming the crown of the hat, wherein the headband and the intermediate region are of differing stiffness and/or thickness.
- a hair retention bonnet comprising a unitary piece of knitted fabric, the bonnet having elasticated edges and at least one cinch point and being adapted to conform closely to a wearer's head, wherein the knitted fabric comprises both non-textured and textured yarns.
- the hair retention bonnet according to the invention is advantageous because it has enhanced hair retention properties in comparison to conventional headwear. It has been surprisingly found that the incorporation of a textured yarn into the fabric from which the bonnet is constructed helps to grip and retain protruding hairs, preventing them from escaping from the bonnet. It is believed that this is due both to the structure of the knitted fabric, and to the bulky, non-slip nature of textured yarn when it is relaxed.
- a knitted fabric is further advantageous as knitted fabrics, due to their structure, generally have a higher degree of elasticity than woven or other nonwoven fabrics. This enables the bonnet to stretch to an appropriate size and shape to snugly fit the user's head. This has a number of key effects: enabling a single size of bonnet to be worn by all users, allowing a uniform expansion or contraction of the bonnet, having a large surface contact area (compared to other materials used in making bonnets) to the user's hair regardless of head size or hairstyle and effectively gripping and holding any protruding hairs to prevent shedding.
- the knitted fabric has a substantially uniform density throughout. This allows the fabric to have greater flexibility in covering the hair on the head of the user.
- hat in the context of the invention, is meant a garment which may be worn on or about the head, and may alternatively be referred to as a hat or cap.
- the knitted fabric from which the bonnet is produced may be made using any conventional method known to those skilled in the art.
- the knitted fabric may be produced using a flat bed knitting machine or a Raschel knitting machine, or using a circular knitting machine.
- bonnets according to the invention may be produced with two cinch points or with one cinch point. Where there are two cinch points, these may be situated at the front and back of the user's head, or at the sides of the user's head.
- bonnets according to the invention may be produced by knitting a continuous length of knitted fabric which is then separated into individual bonnets by binding the knitted fabric together at intervals (commonly referred to as cinch points) and cutting the fabric in the bound regions. Binding of the knitted fabric may, for instance, be accomplished by knotting of the fabric, by fusing the material of the fabric through the application of heat and/or pressure, or by the application to the fabric of metal staples or other forms of clips that crimp the fabric together. By way of example, pairs of metal staples may be applied to form each bound region, with a small separation between the staples of each, the fabric subsequently being cut between the staples to form individual bonnets. Clearly, the separation of the pairs of staples (or other means of binding the fabric) is chosen to correspond to the desired size of the finished bonnet.
- the discrete bonnets so formed may be packaged, either individually or in bulk, for supply to customers.
- the fabric may not be severed, and instead the bonnets may be supplied in connected form, eg wound into a roll or folded in concertina fashion.
- individual bonnets are separated from the bulk supply by the end user, eg by tearing off. Suitable points or lines of weakness, such as perforations, may be introduced to facilitate this.
- the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a bonnet, comprising the steps of
- the ratio of non-textured to textured yarn will affect the characteristics of the finished bonnet, and the ratio can therefore be selected dependent on those desired characteristics.
- a greater proportion of textured yarn in the fabric will enhance the hair retention properties of the fabric, as well as increasing the degree to which the fabric can stretch.
- the non-textured yarn provides the bonnet with structure, stabilising the fabric.
- cost implications may make it desirable to have a larger proportion of non-textured yarn in the fabric.
- the weight ratio of non-textured and textured yarns may thus be any suitable ratio.
- the weight ratio of non-textured to textured yarn may be from about
- 80:20 from about 30:70 to about 70:30, or from about 40:60 to about 60:40.
- the weight ratio of non-textured to textured yarn in the fabric may be about 5:95, about 10:90, about 15:85, about 20:80, about 25:75, about 30:70, about 35: 65, about 40:60, about
- Yarn is generally made by twisting or winding filaments together to produce a flat yarn.
- Textured yarn is yarn which has a roughened or raised surface which provides the yarn with a texture.
- the filaments of the yarn may be crimped, coiled, twisted, crinkled or roughened, eg by abrasion such as air blowing or passing it through spinning plates. Texturising processes to produce textured yarn are well established in the art.
- Non-textured yarn is a yarn which has not been subjected to any texturing process and is generally flat and smooth. Types of textured yarn and methods for producing textured yarn are known in the art, and any suitable textured yarn may be used in the present invention.
- the textured yarn may be false twist, air jet, knife edge crimping, stuffer box, gear crimping or knit-deknit.
- the textured yarn used in the present invention is a false twist yarn. It has been found that the bulky nature of a false twist yarn helps to limit gaps in the fabric through which hair can protrude, as well as gripping and preventing hair from slipping through gaps.
- the textured yarn may be produced from natural or synthetic materials.
- the textured yarn is a synthetic yarn, such as nylon, polyester, viscose, acrylic or polypropylene. More preferably, the textured yarn is polyester. Natural fibres such as cotton may also be used.
- the non-textured yarn may be produced from natural or synthetic materials.
- the non-textured yarn is a synthetic yarn, such as nylon, polyester, viscose, acrylic or polypropylene. More preferably, the non-textured yarn is polyester. Natural fibres such as cotton may also be used.
- the textured and non-textured yarns may be of any suitable weight for use in the bonnet of the invention. It is advantageous for the bonnet to be relatively lightweight, as this will be more comfortable for the user and will reduce shipping and laundering costs. However, it has also been found that thicker fabrics are generally more effective at preventing hair from protruding. It has been found that particularly good results are obtained by using non-textured yarn size 20/12 together with textured yarn size 30/72s, by using non-textured wicking yarn size 50/36 together with textured yarn size 30/72.
- the hair retention bonnet of the invention has elasticated edges. This helps to retain the bonnet on the wearer's head and to create a snug fit, as well as strengthening the bonnet.
- a close fitting bonnet is advantageous because it both effectively holds hair in place, and prevents hairs from being lost from the lower edge of the bonnet.
- Elastication of the edge of the bonnet may be achieved by any suitable method, for example by incorporating elastic threads into the knitted fabric during production of the fabric, or by weaving elastic threads into the finished fabric or into the finished bonnet.
- the elasticated edge extends substantially around the periphery of the bonnet, most preferably around the entire periphery.
- the ends of the elasticated edges may be drawn into the one or more cinch points.
- the elasticated edges are preferably adapted to grip the head around the hairline and ears to ensure that all the hair is retained within the bonnet, thus maximising the containment of hair.
- the bonnet may be substantially free of a stiffened headband portion which acts to retain the headwear article on the head.
- Other elements may be included in the bonnet according to the invention, in order to impart desired characteristics. For example, wicking yarns such as channelled staycool or CoolMaxTM yarns may be incorporated into the knitted fabric. Such yarns wick moisture away, increasing breathability of the fabric and helping to keep the wearer cool, thereby providing more comfortable headwear.
- the bonnet may further comprise microfiber yarns.
- Microfiber yarns contain a greater number of filaments than conventional yarn, resulting in a higher degree of friction with the hair. The increased friction helps to restrict the movement of protruding hairs, and so helps to prevent them being lost and contaminating the workplace.
- a microfiber yarn is defined as a yarn which contains filaments of less than 1 decitex per filament, and the filament count will be greater than the dexitex or denier of the yarn. Lower counts of microfiber yarns have been found to allow more bulking than higher counts of microfiber yarns in a relaxed dye process which thus yields improved hair retention properties. For example, a 30/35 textured yarn will have better bulking properties than a 30/80 textured yarn.
- the yarn may be dyed prior to knitting, the fabric may be dyed before the bonnet is constructed, or the finished bonnet may be dyed.
- the fabric is dyed before the bonnet is constructed.
- the fabric may be jet dyed in a continuous strip or dyed relaxed at high temperature in a static dye machine without being held prior to the bonnet being constructed. It has been found that jet dying of the relaxed fabric allows the textured fibres in the yarn to bulk, improving the ability of the fabric to prevent the protrusion of hairs. Similarly, dyeing a made up product in a high temperature static machine with the made up product relaxed also achieved good bulking of the yarns and improved the hair retention properties of the finished bonnet.
- bonnets according to the invention may be used in any environment in which it is generally desirable to wear a head covering.
- bonnets according to the invention may be used in environments in which it is important to maintain a high level of hygiene.
- hairnets according to the invention may be used in catering establishments and factories where foodstuffs are manufactured and/or packaged, or pharmaceutical or cosmetic manufacturing establishments, or medical establishments.
- the bonnets may also be used in industrial situations in which avoidance of contamination by hair is critical, eg in paint spraying
- Bonnets according to the invention may be reused a number of times. Between uses, they may be cleaned by any suitable method known in the art, for example in the manner described in GB1221027.4. Where the bonnet is reused a number of times, an indicator may be incorporated into the bonnet to indicate when replacement is required.
- the bonnet may comprise a coloured portion, which may be in the form of a strip along an edge, or down the centre. In a workplace, bonnets having different coloured strips may be rotated after a set number of wears or period of time, enabling the easy identification of bonnets which require cleaning or disposal. Additional indicator strips may also be incorporated into the bonnet in order to differentiate users, eg different job grades or job types, or to differentiate different grades of bonnet.
- dissolving yarns can be used as indicators, for example a yarn dissolved at 15 washes indicates that a bonnet should no longer be used.
- the bonnet according to the invention may be used alone, or it may be used in combination with other hats or hairnets.
- a hairnet may be worn underneath the bonnet, or the bonnet may be worn underneath a larger hat. It has been found that, when the bonnet is used in combination with a knitted hairnet such as that described in GB1206641 .1 , the hair retention properties of the bonnet are further improved.
- the inner, hairnet layer expands and contracts to hold the hair flat against the user's head, and the outer, bonnet layer effectively grips and retains any hairs which protrude through the fabric of the inner, hairnet layer.
- the hairnet and bonnet may be worn as two separate items, or may be attached together and provided as a single piece of headwear.
- the present invention also provides a plurality of connected bonnets, each bonnet comprising a unitary piece of knitted fabric, the bonnet having elasticated edges and at least one cinch point and being adapted to conform closely to a wearer's head, wherein the knitted fabric comprises both non-textured and textured yarns, and the bonnets being connected together at junctions adjacent the at least one cinch point, such that a bonnet may be separated by severing the junction between two bonnets.
- the bonnet according to the invention may further comprise a flap located at the rear of the bonnet which, in use, covers the wearer's neck.
- the bottom edge of the flap may be elasticated, forming a pouch to accommodate long hair.
- the bonnet according to the invention may further comprise a flap which, in use, is located over or may be drawn over the lower part of the face, in order to cover facial hair.
- hair retention articles may also be produced, which comprise both textured and non-textured yarns, and which have the same advantages as the first aspect of the invention.
- a beard cover comprising a unitary piece of knitted fabric, wherein the knitted fabric comprises both non-textured and textured yarns.
- a neck shield comprising a unitary piece of knitted fabric, wherein the knitted fabric comprises both non-textured and textured yarns.
- knitted fabric comprising both a textured and non-textured yarn may be used in the production of headwear in a cut/make/trim process. Due to the use of a knitted fabric and a textured yarn, such headwear has greater hair retention properties than conventional cut/make/trim headwear.
- the cut/make/trim process involves cutting a blank from a suitable fabric, forming the blank into the desired shape, fastening it in that shape (eg by stitching or adhesive) and then trimming to give the final product.
- Articles according to said further aspects of the invention may comprise any of the features described above in relation to the first aspect of the invention.

- Figure 4 shows a view similar to Figure 3, wherein the hairnet includes a rear flap to accommodate long hair.
- FIG. 1 a knitting pattern showing the structure of a knitted fabric used in the manufacture of bonnets according to the invention is depicted.
- the knitting diagram comprises rows of black dots 12, each of which represents a needle about which a stitch may be formed.
- the lines that extend substantially vertically up the diagram represent the different threads used in the construction.
- Four different types of yarn are used in this pattern: a flat yarn, a textured yarn, a pillaring yarn and elastic.
- the four yarns are threaded separately on four guide bars: the flat yarn on bar 1 , the textured yarn on bar 2, the pillaring yarn on bar 3, and the elastic on bar 4. It will be understood that this pattern is schematic, and the number of needles shown is greatly reduced.
- the number of needles in the central region "A" of the fabric, on which the flat yarn and the textured yarn are knitted may be 200, or 300, or 400, or any value within this range.
- the fabric in a rear flap product such as shown in Figure 4, the fabric may be produced with up to 500 needles, coincident with the desired size. If covering a bonnet such as shown in Figure 3, the fabric may be produced with up to 600 or 700 needles.
- the bulk of the fabric is comprised of the flat yarn from bar 1 and the textured yarn from bar 2.
- the flat yarn and the textured yarns may be knitted together so that they may lay one over the other or they may oriented so that they lie intermittently or lie adjacent one another or predominantly to one side of the fabric.
- the pillaring yarn (from bar 3) and the elastic (from bar 4) are knitted into the edges of the fabric.
- a bonnet is produced from knitted fabric 21 , made according to Figure 1 , shown in Figure 2.
- the knitted fabric 21 has elasticated edges 22, and may be produced in a continuous length.
- the continuous length of fabric is then separated into individual bonnets by gathering and binding the fabric together at intervals with pairs of metal staples 32 (shown in Figure 3), and then cutting the fabric in the space between the staples 32 of each pair to form individual bonnets.
- the non-textured surface is adjacent the wearer's head and the textured surface is on the outer surface of the bonnet.
- the non-textured surface could be on the outer surface of the bonnet with the textured surface adjacent the wearer's head to enable hair to be gripped more easily.
- FIG. 3 The manner in which such a bonnet 31 is worn is shown schematically in Figure 3. As can be seen, the bonnet is worn with the regions bound by the staples 32 at the front and back, and the elasticated edges 33 hold the bonnet in place on the wearer's head.
- bonnet 41 Another form of bonnet 41 is shown schematically in Figure 4.
- the fabric is produced with a elasticated edges 43, and the bonnet is worn with the staples 42 located at the sides of the head.
- a flap of fabric 44 hangs down at the rear of the bonnet, covering long hair and rear neck hair.
- the lower edge of the flap 44 may also be elasticated, forming a pouch to accommodate long hair. If not elasticated, the flap 44 will lie flat against the wearer's neck, under clothing, helping to prevent shed hair from escaping.
- bonnets according to the invention were compared with conventional types of headwear used in industry.
