DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and specific examples. A work hat according to the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as “the work cap”) has at least a hat body 1 and flaps (2a, 2b) on both side surfaces, as shown in an example in FIG. Both flaps (2a, 2b) are provided with piping (3a, 3b) for threading from the temple to the jaw, and the piping (4a, 4b) is passed through both pipings. The strings (4a, 4b) have one end fixed near the respective inner portions (31a, 31b), ie, temples, in the piping (3a, 3b), and the other end comes out of the piping. Further, both the cords are made of a material that can elastically expand and contract in a state where no pulling force is applied, in a portion of the entire length located in the piping. Hereinafter, a part of the string, which is made of a material that can elastically expand and contract, will be referred to as an “elastic part”. In FIG. 1, only the piping 3a on one side is partially cut away to show the inside, and the elastic portion 5 is shown.

[0010] With the above configuration, the ends of both the cords are connected to the lower part of the wearer's chin while the elastic portions are extended by pulling the cords (4a, 4b) coming out of both the pipings. be able to. By connecting the two strings in a state where the elastic portion is extended, elastic tension always acts along the contour of the wearer's face as shown by arrows in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b). As it continues, it follows the movement of the chin, etc., fits the contour of the face properly, and there is no gap in the temples or cheeks. In other words, there is no room for the hair to fall even though the flaps on both sides are of a type in which the flaps are fitted under the chin.

The hat body is a portion that covers at least the entire hair portion and both ears of the wearer, and the flap portion is further downward from both sides of the hat body so as to cover from the temple through the cheek to the chin. It is a widened part. In the example of FIG. 1, the hat main body 1 and the flaps (2a, 2b) are formed integrally and continuously and have no clear boundaries. Is the flap portion 2b.

The hat body may be any as long as it can cover the hair, but a preferred form is a baseball cap-shaped cap with a portion covering both ears and a neck. The crown may be hemispherical, flat, or the like, and the sewing structure is not limited.

The material of the hat body is not particularly limited as long as it can constitute the hat, but cloth is preferred from the viewpoint of lightness and softness. As used herein, the term “cloth” includes not only woven fabrics, knitted fabrics and nonwoven fabrics but also all sheet-like materials usable for clothing, such as film materials and leather. The fibers used for the woven fabric, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric and the like may be all those usable for clothing, and include natural fibers, regenerated fibers, synthetic fibers, and mixtures thereof. In a normal food factory, the cloth is preferably a cotton cloth, a mixed cloth of cotton and synthetic fibers, a cloth made of only synthetic fibers, and the like.

The flap portion may be extended so as to cover from the temple, through the cheek and up to the chin, and the design of the edge line is not limited. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the corner 21b at the lower end of the flap 2b is angular, but this part may be formed round. Further, in the example of the figure, the edge line from the temple to the chin through the cheek is straight, but may be a curved line as required.

As described above, the flap portion "covers from the temple through the cheek to the chin". The "jaw" as used herein means a range from the temporomandibular joint portion to the portion immediately below the mouth. . Therefore, the form of the flap portion is varied according to the level of hygiene management in the process, from the one up to the jaw joint as shown in FIG. 2A to the one immediately below the mouth as shown in FIG. 2B. May be freely selected.

The piping for threading may be provided from the temple to the chin through the cheek, and the installation path is not limited. As shown in FIG. 1, the piping is provided along the edge of the boundary with the exposed face. By doing so, it fits better to the contour of the face, and the edges do not flutter. Also, the piping for the stringing need only be one that literally functions as the stringing, and need not be a single tunnel continuous from the temple to the chin. It may be in a form. The method of forming the tunnel of the piping, such as folding back the edge of the flap portion, sewing a long cloth,
What is necessary is just to form so that the path | route of a string can be determined by the well-known method formed in clothing.

The string may be any one as long as it can be connected to each other at the lower part of the wearer's chin, and is not limited to a circular cross section, a flat cross section, or any other material. For example, a braided string, a braided string, a single line formed by extruding a resin or the like, a string obtained by cutting and sewing a cloth slenderly, a leather string, or the like may be used.

The elastic part provided as a part of the string may be a string formed so as to be elastically expandable and contractable. Even if it is a single line made of rubber, it may be a rubber knitted like a rubber string. There may be. Preferred materials include soft operons and the like.

The position where the elastic portion is provided is inside the piping. Thus, when the strings are tied to each other, the work of tying the strings and the work of releasing the strings can be performed by a general string, and the work is also facilitated. On the contrary,
In a mode in which the elastic cords are tied together, the knot becomes small and hard due to the elongation, and it becomes difficult to untie the knots.

The elasticity of the elastic portion may be such that it fits comfortably on the face and can contain falling hair. The natural length of the elastic portion depends on the elasticity of the material used, but is preferably about 5 cm to 10 cm.

The method of connecting the strings coming out of the piping of the two flap portions to each other is not limited. For example, a mode in which an appropriate margin is secured and tied to each other as shown in FIG. 2 or a mode in which a connecting device such as a velcro, a snap, a hook, or a buckle is applied to the leading end of the string and connected. Among these modes, the mode in which the strings are tied to each other is simple, requires no components, can be quickly mounted, has no foreign body feeling in the throat, and has a stepless tightening force (extension amount of the elastic portion). This is a preferred embodiment because it can be adjusted.

The work cap may be provided with various additional structures in order to further improve the hair drop-off prevention property and the handling property. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, a front opening skirt portion 6 is further added to the lower edge of the mode shown in FIG. 2B, that is, the lower edge of the neck and the lower edges of both flaps connected to the lower edge. I have. The skirt portion 6 is configured so as to cover the lower neck portion and the shoulder portion of the wearer and overlap with each other at the throat portion, as also provided in the conventional work cap shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 3, strings (indicated by broken lines) 4 a and 4 b are hidden inside the skirt portion, and the skirt 6 has a configuration that can be fixed to each other with a magic tape 7.

Also, in the example of FIG. 1 and the like, an eave 10 of the forehead portion and an extendable gather 11 of the back of the head are added as options to improve wearability and followability to the shape of the head. . In the example of FIG. 3, the ear portion 8 is formed of a mesh material, so that the surrounding sound is easily heard and the hair is prevented from falling off. Further, openable / closable flaps 9a and 9b are provided at the ear portions, and can be fixed by folding with Velcro as shown in FIG. 9b.

The work cap may be connected not only to the form of an independent stand-alone product but also to a collar of a jacket at a neck portion. The work cap is a useful work clothes for a factory that is required to be sanitary, especially for a factory that must prevent hair from being mixed into products.

[0025]

According to the working cap, as described above, since a part of the string passed through the piping of the flap portion is an elastic portion, the flap portion follows the movement of the face, and the face always moves. It fits the contours of the head properly, there are no gaps in the temples and cheeks, and there is no room for hair to fall. According to the present invention, it has become possible to provide a work hat capable of further suppressing falling of hair.
