BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a size-adjustable cap 10 of the present invention. This cap 10 has a canopy portion 2 projecting from a front part of a coronal cap body 1 and a center part of a rear part of the cap body 1. The cutout portion 3 is provided, and the cutout portion 3 is provided with a size adjusting belt 4 and a size adjusting tool 5. Reference numeral 6 in FIG. 2 denotes a sweat band sewn along the inner peripheral lower edge of the hat body.

The cap body 1 is usually made of various shaped 5
It is made by sewing 10 pieces of woven fabric together. 5-1
The woven fabric of 0 sheets is not particularly limited and may be stretchable or non-stretchable, but at least one of the 5 to 10 woven fabrics constituting the main body of the hat, It is preferable that two or more sheets are arranged symmetrically,
More preferably, it is preferable that all have stretchability in the weft direction, the warp direction, or both directions. As a result, the hat body 1
Also has elasticity in both the lateral direction (weft direction) and the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction).

In the hat 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hat body 1 has six triangular woven cloths 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e,
1f is configured in a coronal shape, and all of these six triangular woven fabrics are stretchable in both the transverse direction (the weft direction) and the longitudinal direction (the warp direction).

In this case, even if a stretchable woven cloth is used for the triangular woven cloth 1a and 1f with the brim portion of the hat sewn, the elastic effect is smaller than that of the woven cloth of other portions due to the influence of the brim portion. It is preferable to form the triangular woven fabrics 1b to 1e, particularly the triangular woven fabrics 1b and 1e located on both side portions (both ear portions), by a stretchable woven fabric from the viewpoint of efficiently exhibiting the stretching effect.

A hat having such a structure is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 3, the two side portions (1b and 1e) of the six triangular woven fabrics forming the hat body 1 are stretchable in the weft direction, the warp direction, or both directions. In addition, in FIG.
4 is the same as in FIGS. 1 and 2 except for the hatched portion of the cap body, and the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted.

The elastic woven fabric is not particularly limited, but a polyurethane elastic yarn having elasticity is used as the weft, and a non-elastic polyester /
Those woven using a cotton mixed yarn are preferable.

Further, at least one or all of the 5 to 10 woven fabrics constituting the main body of the hat may be formed of a non-stretchable thin cloth. The non-stretch thin fabric is preferably selected from mesh and functional materials.

The functional material is, for example, a thin film such as GORE-TEX (a product of GORE-TEX Co., Ltd.), which is a fiber having waterproofness and moisture permeability, polyester fiber, etc. It is a fabric that does not get damp easily, using fibers that have been cut into pieces and fibers that have been processed into special cross-sectional shapes (such as grooves and hollows). Specific examples include mesh, Gore-Tex (manufactured by Gore-Tex), Dacron (manufactured by DuPont), and Diplex.

In the size adjustable cap of the present invention, the plastic inch tape normally attached to the lower edge of the inner circumference of the cap body is removed in order to adjust the size smoothly. Here, the inch tape is a strip-shaped tape that does not easily expand and contract, and is used for facilitating the sewing of triangular woven cloth at the stage of making a hat.

The sweat band 6 is formed of a rubber elastic woven cloth sewn along the lower edge of the inner circumference of the cap body. In this case, in particular, when the weft is an elastic yarn (spandex yarn) and the warp is a non-elastic rubber elastic woven fabric, it has elasticity in the weft direction (that is, the circumferential direction of the hat),
It excels in sweat absorption and exhibits an appropriate adhesion, so that a comfortable wearing feeling and a stable feeling can be continuously expressed. As such a rubber elastic woven fabric, a rubber band or a polyurethane woven fabric band is suitable.

Further, from the viewpoint of improving the designability, the sweat band 6 can be formed by using a stretchable woven fabric which constitutes the size adjusting band or the cap body. Such stretchable woven fabric is not particularly limited, but is woven using stretchable polyurethane elastic yarn as the weft and non-stretchable polyester / cotton blended yarn as the warp. Is preferred.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hat of the present invention is provided with a cutout portion 3 at the center of the rear portion of the hat body 1.
The size of the excision portion 3 is not particularly limited, but is usually about 10 cm in width and 5 cm in height. The excision portion is provided with a size adjusting band 4 sewn at one end thereof and a size adjusting tool (buckle) 5 connected at the other end thereof so that the cap size can be adjusted.

In the present invention, the size adjusting band 4 is formed of elastic woven cloth having elasticity. in this case,
In particular, using an elastic woven fabric in which the weft is an elastic yarn (for example, spandex yarn) and the warp is an inelastic yarn has elasticity in the weft direction (that is, the circumferential direction of the hat), and size adjustment is possible. It is preferable from the viewpoint of facilitating.

Next, the case where the hat according to the embodiment of the present invention is to be worn for the first time will be described. First,
Wear the hat with the size adjustment band 4 released from the size adjustment tool (buckle) 5, then connect the size adjustment band 4 to the buckle 5 and fix the buckle 5 when you feel a slight tightening. Let Then, the six woven fabrics 1a, 1b, 1c, 1 forming the hat body 1
Since the lower part of d, 1e, 1f (at least one of which is made of elastic woven fabric) and the rubber elastic woven sweat band 6 are automatically and precisely adjusted in the weft direction, that is, the circumferential direction of the hat, Feels comfortable and stable to wear.

On the other hand, when the hat is worn for a long time in such a state, a headache may be felt due to the accumulated pressure on rare occasions. In such a case, the size adjusting tool (buckle) 5 is released. After loosening the elastic woven fabric size adjusting band 4 a little, the buckle 5 can be fixed again to avoid a feeling of pressure.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned automatic adjustment state, when a strong wind blows or the head moves violently and the hat is likely to come off, the elastic woven size adjusting band 4 is slightly moved with the buckle 5. When tightened, it tightly adheres to the head and can be prevented from falling off.

As described above, the hat according to one embodiment of the present invention can be roughly sized within a range of 5 to 10 cm by using the elastic woven size adjusting band and the size adjusting tool and then worn. The slight difference between the contact area between the inner surface of the hat and the head of the user is the weaving cloth 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d of the hat body having elasticity in the weft direction, that is, the circumferential direction of the hat.
1e, 1f (at least one of which is made of elastic elastic woven cloth) and the rubber elastic woven cloth sweat band 6 can automatically and precisely compensate. Due to the synergistic effect of the combination of these two functions, the hat according to the embodiment of the present invention can be used by a user having one reference size hat with a certain range of head circumference (for example, 5).
(Users with different head circumferences within the range of 10 cm) can adjust the size precisely while wearing it once, so that the comfort and stability are further improved compared to the conventional free size cap. It is a thing.

Since the sweat band 6 is composed of a stretchable rubber elastic woven fabric, its woven fabric structure naturally has good flexibility and breathability and proper adhesion (suitable expansion rate and elastic recovery rate). Represents the property). When the rubber elastic woven sweat band 6 comes into contact with the user's head,
It excels in sweat absorption and exhibits appropriate adhesion, so it can continuously provide a comfortable wearing feeling and a stable feeling.

Further, by forming the woven cloth of 5 to 10 sheets which constitutes the main body of the hat with a thin non-stretchable cloth, a hat having excellent breathability, lightweight and comfortable to wear can be obtained.

In the present invention, the six woven fabrics 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f that form the hat body.
It is preferable to sew mutually adjacent portions (at least one of which is made of elastic elastic woven fabric), the lower edge portion of the hat body and the sweat band with elastic threads (for example, spandex sewing threads). As a result, when the sewn portion expands and contracts, the sewing thread can expand and contract at the same time at the same time, so that the non-stretchable sewing thread is cut or elastic compared to the case where the conventional general sewing thread is used. It does not interfere with the stretching action of the woven fabric.

The size-adjustable hat of the present invention has the above-mentioned characteristics, and since it has a better fit and does not fall off due to the movement of the head or the wind, it can be used for golf, tennis, It is suitable for sports such as baseball, but is not limited to these applications.

The size-adjustable cap of the present invention has been described above in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the size adjusting part may be composed of a cutout part, a female band in which a large number of fitting holes are formed, and a male band in which a large number of fitting protrusions are provided.

[0043]

As described above, according to the size-adjustable cap of the present invention, the size can be easily adjusted, the size of the head can be flexibly adhered to the head shape, and the breathability is good. Since it has excellent absorbency, it does not become stuffy even when worn for a long time, and can maintain a comfortable wearing feeling and a stable feeling continuously.
