Description

  The present invention includes a crown portion that covers the top of the crown, a flange portion that is provided over the entire circumferential direction at the bottom portion of the crown portion, and a slip that is provided over substantially the entire circumferential direction on the inner surface of the bottom portion of the crown portion. The present invention relates to a size-adjustable hat that can be freely adjusted according to the size of the head of a person wearing the hat. Examples of the hat include various hats with which the collar portion is provided over the entire circumferential direction of the crown portion, and is particularly effective for hard type hats such as a straw hat and a felt hat.

As the size-adjustable cap, for example, by pulling the end of the size adjustment string body inserted in the size adjustment string body insertion part formed along the circumferential direction of the crown part on the bottom inner surface side of the collar part, It is configured so that the size of the hat can be adjusted by inclining or tilting the three members of the inner peripheral portion of the collar portion, the folded portion of the crown portion, and the slipper to the inside of the crown portion ( For example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-121314 (see FIGS. 1 to 5)

In the above-mentioned patent document 1, when adjusting the size by inclining or tilting the three members of the inner peripheral part of the collar part, the folded part of the crown part, and the slip integrally, the inner circumference of the collar part Since the size adjustment width is determined by the degree of protrusion of the portion toward the inner side of the crown portion, there is a disadvantage that the size adjustment width cannot be increased.
Further, it is not only troublesome work to adjust the size while adjusting the inclination of the three members while pulling the end of the string body, but it is difficult to make fine adjustments, and there is a difficulty in the adjustment work.
In addition, as the three members are defeated, the contact area with the sliding contacted by the head decreases as the members are defeated. For example, the hat is liable to come off from the head due to, for example, a strong wind.

  In view of the above-described situation, the present invention intends to solve the problem that the size adjustment range can be increased, the size adjustment can be easily and quickly and finely adjusted, and the hat can be prevented from coming off due to a strong wind or the like. The point is to provide a hat.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a crown part that covers the top of the head, a collar part that is provided on the bottom part of the crown part over the entire circumferential direction, and a substantially entire area in the circumferential direction on the inner surface side of the bottom part of the crown part. And a pair of belt-like members extending in the left-right direction. And a pair of left and right belt-like members overlapped with each other in a state in which the pair of left and right belt-like members are overlapped with each other. The feature is that the size of the hat is adjusted by changing.
By changing the locking position of the locking holding means as described above, the inner diameter dimension of the cap formed by the slip and the belt-like member can be adjusted easily and quickly. Further, as the pair of left and right belt-like members are locked in the left-right direction, the inner diameter formed by the belt-like member and the slip can be reduced. In addition, the belt and the belt-like member having substantially the same width are in surface contact with the periphery of the head, so that the hat can be firmly held on the head.

  You may comprise the said latching holding means from the hook_and_loop | surface fastener respectively provided in the opposing surface side of the said both strip | belt-shaped member.

  A reinforcing member having a length over the entire circumferential direction may be provided on the inner surface of the bottom of the crown so as to reinforce the bottom of the crown.

  At least one of the pair of left and right belt-like members may be made of a stretchable material.

  You may comprise the material of the said slip from what has a water absorptivity and quick-drying.

  By changing the locking position of the locking holding means provided on the pair of left and right belt-like members, the inner diameter dimension of the cap formed by the slip and the belt-like member can be easily and quickly adjusted, and fine adjustment is also easy. Therefore, it is possible to provide a hat advantageous in terms of use. In addition, as the pair of left and right belt-like members are locked on the left-right direction side (side closer to the left-right direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction), the inner diameter formed by the belt-like member and the slide can be reduced. Thus, the size adjustment range can be increased. In addition, the surface of the belt and the belt-like member of the same width as the slipper can make the cap firmly held on the head, avoiding the cap from coming off the head due to strong winds, etc. can do. In addition, when the inner diameter dimension of the cap is reduced in the pair of left and right belt-like members, a gap is generated between the belt-like member and the rear side slip, and ventilation can be performed to the back of the head through the gap. In particular, it is possible to provide a hat that can be worn comfortably when the summer is hot.

  By constituting the latch holding means from a hook-and-loop fastener, there is an advantage that not only the hook type can be quickly performed, but also the fine adjustment can be performed more easily.

  Reinforce the bottom of the crown by providing a reinforcing member with a length across the entire circumference in the inner surface of the bottom of the crown to prevent the crown from being deformed when the size is adjusted and the cap is worn can do.

  By constructing at least one of the pair of left and right belt-shaped members from a stretchable material, it is possible to use the force of contraction, so the compression force (tightening force) is reduced and the hat fits well on the head. Thus, it is possible to make it difficult for the hat to come off the head while improving the wearing feeling.

  By making the material of the slippery water-absorbing and quick-drying, it is possible to immediately absorb sweat and dry it immediately, and it can be used comfortably without causing discomfort.

  1 (a) and 1 (b), a crown portion 1 that has a concave portion 1A with a concave upper end and can cover the head portion, and a bottom portion of the crown portion 1 is almost entirely covered in the circumferential direction. A main component member is a flange portion (also referred to as brim) 2 that protrudes outward in the horizontal direction and a slip (also referred to as a bottle skin portion) 3 that is provided on the inner surface side of the bottom portion of the crown portion 1 over almost the entire circumferential direction. As a hat type hat is shown. Examples of the hat include various hats that the collar portion 2 is provided over the entire circumferential direction of the crown portion 1, and are particularly effective for hard-type hats such as straw hats and felt hats that are not easily deformed. . Moreover, natural grass, cloth, leather, felt, etc. can be used as the material of the hat. Reference numeral 4 shown in FIG. 1A is a cloth ribbon wound around the entire outer surface in the circumferential direction of the crown portion 1 and fixed by an adhesive (may be sewn), but may be omitted. .

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 3, the inner surface of the bottom of the crown portion 1 has a length over the entire circumferential direction of the crown portion 1, and is thin and has a width much wider than the slip 3 ( The reinforcing member 5 is made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene (any material may be used as long as it has a hardness that enhances the shape retaining property of the crown portion 1). Are fixed by sewing (may be fixed using an adhesive). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bottom portion of the crown portion 1 from being deformed by covering the head with the cap. In particular, when the size is adjusted so that the inner diameter dimension described later becomes smaller, the rear portion of the crown portion 1 (the rear portion in which a gap is generated between the head and the slide 3) does not lose its shape. Can be reinforced.

  As shown in FIG. 1B and FIGS. 2A and 2B, the same width as the slipper 3 from each of the two specific left and right sides of the slipper 3 (slightly wider or slightly wider than the slippery 3). The band-like members 3A and 3B (which may be narrow) are extended, and the pair of left and right belt-like members 3A and 3B are extended in the left-right direction so that they overlap each other in the front-rear direction. The hook-and-loop fasteners 6 and 7 constituting the locking and holding means for locking and holding the belt-like members 3A and 3B in a state where the pair of belt-like members 3A and 3B overlap with each other And the size of the hat is adjusted by changing (shifting) the locking position between the one surface fastener 6 and the other surface fastener 7. is doing. In the figure, the longitudinal direction (extending direction) dimensions of the pair of left and right belt-like members 3A, 3B are the lengths in which one tip is located close to the other base end in the state where they are extended in the left-right direction, that is, the front-rear direction. However, the lengths of both of the belt-like members 3A and 3B can be freely changed.

  The belt-like members 3A and 3B are formed of a single belt-like slip 3 having a dimension longer than the entire circumferential direction of the crown portion 1, and the both ends of the slip 3 are left on the inner surface of the bottom of the crown portion 1 from the front. The belt-like members 3A and 3B are sewn to the rear and the both end portions that are not sewn are extended to the left and right to form the belt-like members 3A and 3B. The base end portions of the belt-shaped members 3A and 3B configured as described above may be sewn to the slide 3 and fixed. A slip 8 made of a separate member is sewn between the rear end portion of the inner surface of the bottom of the crown portion 1, that is, between the base end portions of the band-like members 3A and 3B. It can also be carried out with 8 omitted.

  The slips 3 and 8 (including the belt-like members 3A and 3B) are made of a material having water absorption and quick drying properties. Specifically, the fiber made of polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. is deformed to use a field sensor (registered trademark, manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc.) that is a highly deformed cross-section fiber, Other materials may be used as long as they have water absorption and quick drying properties. Further, the slides 3 and 8 may be subjected to antibacterial and deodorizing treatments.

  When the size of the head H is smaller than the inner diameter dimension of the hat, the belt-like members 3A, 3B are changed as shown in FIG. 4 by changing the locking position of one hook-and-loop fastener 6 and the other hook-and-loop fastener 7. Can be fitted to the head H satisfactorily by making the inner diameter dimension smaller by positioning the front side of the sleeve 8 located at the rear end. And, as shown in FIG. 4, by making the gap S generated between the slide 8 and the belt-like members 3A, 3B as an opening for ventilation, the back of the head can be cooled by ventilation, especially when it is hot in summer, It can be used as a hat that can be used comfortably.

  The hook-and-loop fasteners 6 and 7 include a female type made up of a large number of loop-shaped locking portions, and a male type made up of a large number of hook-shaped protrusions that can be attached to and detached from the loop-shaped locking portions. It can also be configured from a male and female type that can be engaged and disengaged by mixing a large number of hook-shaped protrusions and a large number of loop-shaped locking portions.

The one band-shaped member 3B may be constituted by another member, that is, an elastic material, that is, elastic rubber. FIG. 5 shows a belt-shaped member 9 made of elastic rubber that is sandwiched between one end of the slide 3 and one end of the slide 8 and sewn. By constituting the belt-like member 9 that can be expanded and contracted in this manner, by changing the posture from the straight posture shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 5 to the curved posture shown by the solid line by covering the head with the cap, Since the elastic force (shrinking force) that tries to return to the original state of the belt-like member 9 can be utilized by extending, the compression force (clamping force) is reduced so that the hat fits well on the head and the wearing feeling is improved. While making it good, it makes it difficult for the hat to come off the head. The other belt-like member 3A may be made of a stretchable material, or both the belt-like members 3A and 3B may be made of a stretchable material. Further, by forming the slips 3 and 8 from elastic rubber, it is possible to make the hat fit well on the head and to make the wearing feeling more comfortable.
The locking and holding means is composed of the hook-and-loop fasteners 6 and 7. For example, a plurality of locking holes are formed at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction in one of the belt-like members 3A or 3B. It can also be carried out by providing the other band-like member 3B or 3A with a locking projection that can be locked in.

(A) The perspective view which looked at the hat from diagonally upward, (b) is the perspective view which looked from diagonally downward. It is a perspective view of the principal part which shows a slip and a pair of right and left belt members, (a) shows the state just before connecting both belt members, and (b) shows the state which connected both belt members. It is the III-III sectional view taken on the line in Fig.1 (a). It is a vertical side view of the cap which shows the state adjusted to the small dimension. It is a perspective view of the principal part which shows a slip and a pair of right and left beltlike members, and shows what constituted one beltlike member by another member.
