Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ready-made or custom-made wig, and more particularly to an improvement in a wig base for such a wig.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wigs of this type have used a cap-shaped wig base having a peripheral edge adapted to the size of the head at the time of wearing so as to obtain a feeling of fitting when worn. In some cases, an adjuster consisting of a hook and a hook is attached to the inner surface of the wig, particularly at the nape or at the part from the nape to the side protector, in order to more accurately match the head of the wig with the adjuster. To make fine adjustments.

[0003] As described above, when the wig is worn, the normal and natural hairline of the wearer, that is, aligning the periphery of the wig (edge line) along the hairline, is necessary to improve the fit. Very important.

The wig base 11 of the wig 10 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is bulged in a hat shape so as to fit a general head shape, and is mainly made of a synthetic fiber net member. Is formed so as to exhibit an edge line along a normal natural hairline.

[0005] That is, the edge line of the wig base 11 descends from the forehead of the wearer through the side temples to the sideburns, rises straight from the sideburns, passes through the upper and lower ears, and becomes almost a right angle again at the nape. And formed through a nape (hereinafter referred to as a nape) located below a depression in the tray behind the neck (that is, a cervical fossa located at the atlas below the occipital bone). I have.

In such a wig base 11, a nap portion 13 located near the temple portion of the side protector 12, that is, in the vicinity of the collar below the so-called basin depression of the back of the head.
In this case, the edging tape 15 having elasticity is arranged along the left and right edge lines to reinforce the edge of the wig base 11. If necessary, an adjuster (not shown) is attached to this portion so that the tightening of the wig can be adjusted according to the size of the head. The stretchable edging tape 15 has a wig base 11 at an end on the side protector 12 side and an end on the nape portion 13 side for holding the wig mold and preventing fraying of the periphery of the wig. It is fixed along the periphery of. In addition, an ear core 16 such as a metal wire is inserted into the side protector 12 as a mold holding member to prevent the side protector 12 from floating.

[0007] Furthermore, the hairline of the occiput is usually located at the nape about 2 to 5 cm below the depression of the tray,
Correspondingly, the nap portion 13 of the wig has a width from the depression of the tray to the nape, and is formed in a horizontally long shape as shown in FIG. The nap portion 13 is formed of, for example, a nylon net similar to the wig base, and the periphery thereof is reinforced by the edging tape 15. Then, when the wearer wears the wig, the nape portion 13 is brought into close contact with the hairline corresponding position from the depression of the wearer's tray so that a fit can be obtained.

[0008] In this manner, while being provided with a slight elasticity along the edge line of the wig base 11 from the side protector 12 to the nape portion 13, the head of the wearer is simultaneously reinforced in order to keep the shape. It is designed to be able to handle large and small departments. When the wig 10 having the above-described configuration is worn, the wig is worn so as to cover the entire forehead by covering the cap-shaped portion along the hairline of the wearer's forehead, pulling it up to the nape portion 13 on the back of the head ( (See FIG. 7). At this time, the wig 10 is worn along the edge line while being slightly stretched by the stretchable edging tape 15 while being slightly tightened on the head and hooked on the forehead and the back of the head, particularly the recess of the tray.

[0009]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional wig 10, the whole is bulged in a hat shape so as to fit a general head shape, but when the wearer has a small head or a thin neck. In such a case, the wig 10 becomes slack, and the slack tape 15 cannot absorb the slack. In particular, the wig 10 is lifted from the side protector 12 to the nape portion 13 to provide a natural and good fit. Is not obtained, and the appearance is poor. Of course, in order to align the wig 10 with the wearer's head, the size can be fine-tuned by the adjuster, but it is difficult to sufficiently align the edge line of the wig base 11 along the hairline, and there is a problem to be solved. ing. In addition, when the wearer's neck moves up and down, the contact between the nape portion 13 and the recess of the tray gradually becomes loose. In particular, when the wearer turns his neck backward,
Are concavely warped, which causes the nape portion 13 to float.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wig that prevents the nape portion from rising and that has improved fit. . The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the description of the present specification and the accompanying drawings.

[0011]

In order to achieve the above object,
The present invention provides a wig base having at least a side protector formed along a natural hairline shape so as to be fitted into an upper part of an ear of a wearer's head and a nape part located at a collar of a back of a wearer. In a wig in which a large number of hairs are implanted, the nap portion is provided with a bone that is curved and formed so as to fit the roundness of the neck. The bone is preferably provided at a position corresponding to the depression of the tray at the upper edge of the nape portion, and is arranged so as to push up the depression of the tray from below. Further, the bone has a core material arranged in the width direction thereof, and the core material can be selected from one of nylon, steel, aluminum and a shape memory alloy. Further, the core material is preferably composed of a plurality of rigid wires arranged in the width direction of the bone.

According to the present invention, in the nap portion of the wig,
As it has a bone with a shape that matches the roundness of the neck,
When the wig is worn, the nape portion closely adheres along the roundness of the neck, and the nape portion is reinforced, so that it is unlikely to be lifted. In particular, when the bones are arranged at the positions corresponding to the depressions of the tray and pressed against the depressions of the tray from below, the fit is further improved.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In describing the embodiments, those having the same functions will be denoted by the same reference numerals. FIG. 1 is a side view of a wig base, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a nap portion of the wig, and FIG. 3 is a side view of a wig when the implanted hair is not shown when the wig is worn.

The wig base 21 of the wig 20 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 descends from the natural hairline of the hair, that is, from the forehead through the temples on the left and right sides to the sideburns.
From the sideburns, through the back of the ear, down to the nape again, it is formed into a shape that almost matches the hairline condition of the hair passing through the nape below the depression of the tray behind the neck. Here, in the wig base 21, the portion of the wig 20 from the temple to the sideburn is referred to as a side protector 22 in the present invention, and a hairline region corresponding to a nape below a depression of a tray behind a neck is defined as a nape portion 23. Is called.
Such a substantially cap-shaped (cap) wig formed so as to cover the entire human hair is generally called a full wig.

It is needless to say that it is optional to change the shape of the forehead part by retreating the edge line of the forehead part, or to change the shape of the nape part 23 or the side protector 22 depending on the wishes of the wearer or the hair design. "" Also includes such modified types.

Furthermore, even a partial wig is within the scope of the present invention as long as it is a wig having at least a hollow portion 27 on a side portion. The present invention can be applied to any of order-made and ready-made types.

The wig base 21 is mainly composed of a flexible net base formed of a synthetic resin monofilament material or partially provided with an artificial skin made of a soft synthetic resin to form a flexible, hat-like overall. Although not shown, artificial and / or natural hair is implanted throughout.

The edge line of the wig base 21 is typically formed to substantially match the hairline of the hair as described above, and when the wig 20 is worn, the side protector 22 (side protector 22) extends from the forehead. To the upper ear,
Further, it is formed so as to have a peripheral edge from the rear part to the nape part 23.

In such a wig base 21, the elasticity is increased from the vicinity of the temple in the side protector 22 to the nape portion 23 located near the lower neck of the so-called basin in the back of the head along the edge line along the edge line. The rimping tapes 25 are arranged on both left and right sides, respectively. The stretchable edging tape 25 is attached to the side protector 22.
The end of the wig and the end of the nap portion 23 are fixed to the periphery of the wig base 21 to maintain the wig mold and prevent the wig from fraying. When the wearer turns his neck backward, the nap portion 23 of the wig also warps, and the nap portion 23 rises when it is repeated, so that the nap portion 23 is surrounded to help prevent this lifting. An edge tape 25 is arranged to reinforce. In addition, an ear core 26 such as a metal wire is inserted into the side protector 22 as a mold holding member to prevent the side protector 22 from floating.

Here, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the bone 24 in which the nape portion 23 is formed in a curved shape so as to fit the roundness of the neck is provided in the nape portion 23. The bone 24 is formed as a core by forming a thin plate material in a curved shape in a width direction thereof, or as a core by aligning and arranging a plurality of wires. These cores are made of nylon, steel, aluminum, or a shape memory alloy, so that the curved shape of the nape portion 23 does not lose its shape due to external force.

The bone 24 shown in FIG.
The core material 24a is formed by arranging a large number of thin nylon wires of about 5 mm to 1 mm, for example, about 3 to 10 wires in the width direction so as to have a width of about 3 mm to 10 mm.
This nylon wire has rigidity and elasticity, and is previously curved and formed so as to fit the roundness of the wearer's neck. In the illustrated example, a core material 24 a made of a plurality of fine wires is wrapped with edging tape 25 to form a bone 24, and this bone 24 is arranged at the upper edge of the nape portion 23. As a result, the bone 24 comes into contact with the recess of the tray of the wearer, and when the wig is worn, the bone 24 is pressed against the lower side of the recess of the tray and fastened toward the forehead.

When the wig 20 having the above structure is worn, the wig is put on the cap-like portion of the wig along with the hairline of the forehead of the wearer, and pulled to the nape portion 23 of the back of the head. At this time, the wig 20 is worn along the edge line while being slightly stretched by the stretchable edging tape 25 and hooked between the forehead and the back of the head, especially the trough of the tray, while slightly tightening the head. At this time, the nape section 23
Is curved along the roundness of the wearer's neck by the bone 24, so it is securely fitted to the neck, and since both ends of the bone 24 hold the neck,
The wig 20 is stably worn on the wearer's neck (FIG. 3).
reference). Therefore, regardless of the size of the wearer's head and the thickness of the neck, the floating of the nape portion 23 can be prevented, and the edge line of the wig 20 can be sufficiently aligned along the hairline. The fit and appearance can be improved.

Even if the wearer repeatedly warps his or her neck backward, the bone 24 is formed to be curved along the roundness of the wearer's neck, and is constantly pressed against the depression of the tray. Immediately return to the original curved state. Therefore, the nape portion 23 does not warp or float even during long-term use. When the bone 24 is composed of a core 24a in which a plurality of wires are arranged in the width direction, each wire may be twisted or bent to some extent in response to various movements of the neck. Because it can be made, the feeling of fitting increases more than a plate-shaped core material.

As described above, the wig according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the wig described in the above embodiment, but is described in the claims of the present invention. Various changes can be made in the design without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0025]

As will be understood from the above description, according to the present invention, since the nap portion of the wig has the bone which is curved and formed so as to fit the roundness of the neck of the wearer, Regardless of the size of the wearer's head or the neck, it is possible to prevent the nape from rising and curling, and to sufficiently align the wig's edge line along the hairline to improve fit. In addition, the wig can be stably mounted on the wearer's head, and the appearance can be improved.
